My list:
- 28 Days Later (wanted to beat the hell out of the guy who made me see this with him... had nightmares because of the gore for weeks, but thought the storyline was ridiculously stupid)
- The Cable Guy (love Jim Carrey and I usually love black comedy, but this was a huge waste of time and money)
- Bean (sat in the lobby with my best friend while we waited for our friends to finish watching this crap)
- Sweet November (most horrible love story and what the hell were they thinking casting Keanu Reeves for anything but an idiot's role?!)
- Swimfan (why I thought this would be good, I have no clue)
- Halloween H20 and every other post Halloween 1 sequel
- Idle Hands (hate Devon Sawa in everything but Slackers)
- Down with Love (another moronic Freddy Prinze, Jr. love fiasco)
- Cruel Intentions (can't stand Sarah Michelle Gellar)

I'm not going to flame you, but I just had to say that CS is an awesome movie! "You'll shoot your eye out!"
I think it's up there with Mel Brooks films and Monty Python stuff...either you love it or hate it.
(I just happen to love them!) LOL

I thought that Vanilla Sky was a waste of time. THe original film in Spanish, Abre Los Ojos, was much better.
Anyway, onto my list:
The Rainmaker (I actually fell asleep IN THE THEATRE during this terrible flick starring Matt Damon and Danny Devito. My girl dragged me to see it.
Clockwork Orange- this movie made me want to wash my retinas with steel wool.
Joe Dirt- forced, I tell you, forced to watch this movie. Oh well, at least I didn't pay.
One Hour Photo- again breaking out the steel wool.

Any movie with Adam Sandler should not be seen.

Just saw 2 listed that I definitely agree with: Titanic and Eyes Wide Shut.
I borrowed Titanic on video from a friend just to see what the hype was all about. For whatever reason, my VCR decided that it also hated the movie, and it would not show the picture most of the time, which actually did not bother me at all. For about 3/4 of the movie, I listened to it while cleaning my room and I don't think I missed much.
Eyes Wide Shut is one of the few movies I've actually shut off in the middle of it and refused to watch the rest. I was watching it with a whole bunch of people, and about when it got to the weirdo mask orgy scene, the guys I was with decided that porn has more plot, and they turned it off and put in a porn movie. The porn they were watching actually did have more plot than Eyes Wide Shut. 
I also want to know how bad Gigli really was. Must've been terrible, since they pulled it out of the theaters already. (I think From Justin to Kelly actually beat its run!  )

I seriously think that the execs at movie studios just sit there, get drunk or sniff glue or something, and when someone blurts out the first script idea that pops in their head, they decide to go with it no matter what it is.
I can see it now......
"I know! You know how we made a shitload of money off Sideshow Bob and Mariah Scary? Well, why don't we make a movie where they fall in love or something?"
"That's.........the BEST idea I've heard since Waterworld!"
"Well, how bout a guy who, for some reason, a lot of girls find attractive, in a movie with a completey recycled and senseless plot, and all he does is do unrealistic mindless stunts with all those cool explosions and stuff, and we'll make sure he gets the girl?"
"AWESOME! It worked for Steven Seagal!"
"Sure. Nancy, please notify Mr. Diesel. Tell him he has work again."
"You know who'd be perfect as director? Steven Soderbergh! Just cause he made a great movie like Ocean's Eleven doesn't mean he can't be his normal self.....remember Full Frontal?"
"Guys, you're blowing my mind with all this....let's get to work."
Vin Diesel.....haven't seen charisma like that since Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller.

How can you say that about Christmas Story??? It's one of my favorite movies that I watch every year.

I have no clue why you thought it would be good either .
The people who didn't like Trois - what was the problem? Too much sex or not enough?
Oh, and we can't forget the Cruise Crap Combo: Cocktail and Days of Thunder. We watched the latter at the old PSK house, on New Year's Day, with brother Flounder. Actually, Days of Flounder would have been a more interesting movie than Days of Thunder.

The story line in Trois was so horrible. It wasn't the sex, it was just waste of my time and their money.

Do you mean Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell? I love that movie!
And I have to disagree with Traffic, I really liked how it was shot.
