The movies that you hate but everyone else loves - Page 3

I honestly just think that every brilliant idea for a film has already been done, so most new films are either basterdized versions of a better film, a way of making money from a concept or pervious film, or just a complete lame brain idea.

I can't believe I missed all these, and I totally agree with you! It's funny, because of those movies, the only ones I've seen are ET, Star Wars and Titanic, but I just *know* I wouldn't like any of the others. The Lord of the Rings stuff just really creeps me out.

Everyone in my house LOVES Labyrinth...but I can't stand it...David Bowie freaks me out! That movie terrified me when I was little!

I'm soooo happy to see I'm not alone in my dislike of Star Wars !! WOOhoo... the rest of my list:

Something about Mary
Matrix
Lord of the rings..( Well... I liked it... just not as much as everyone else seems to my roomate saw it 5 times.. I had NO desire to)

I am totally going to defend Royal Tenenbaums and Vanilla Sky... those are fabulous films.

And, yeah, Panic Room sucked ass.

Orange County...waste of my time and money

And I have to defend The Royal Tenenbaums.....this was one of the best movies I've ever seen....

While i agree with Wayne's world and Scary movie, i disagree with strange brew...i just watched it again a couple months ago and although there is some blatant stupidity in it, i still like it....must be a canadian thing..

I'd also like to add
Austin powers
Dumb and Dumber
Star wars (i saw the latest one on opening day and I fell ASLEEP watching it...)

I've gotta defend this movie. Its on my top 10 list of all time favorite movies. Granted, its not great film, or high comedy by any stretch of the imagination, but its still a damn funny movie.

I think the problem some people have with The Royal Tennenbaums is that its so emotionless. That's why my mom didn't like it - it freaked her out that it was so flat. I think that's what made it great.

I HATE Star Wars (i'm not a big fan of Sci Fi)

Anything with Tom Green, Ben Stller, or Jim Carrey (They just aren't funny)

I wouldn't care to rent or pay to see these movies...

Titanic- Boring and long
Matrix
Gladiator (Not a fan of period pieces either)
Braveheart
Lord of the Rings- I hated reading the Hobbit as a child, and I hate these kind of movies (very Dungeons and Dragons)
Harry Potter- So what the kid is a wizard...
Office Space- I get the irony and chuckled a bit, but overall it wasn't knee-slapping funny

clothesgirl · #41 02-14-2003, 02:04 PM

I know that I'm gonna get blasted, but the movie I really, really hate is......

GREASE. I'm sorry, it sux. it is SO incredebly lame. THE ENDING? a CAR RIDE into the sky??? WHATEVER.

Yeah, I hate moulin rouge as well.

I can't stand Moulin Rouge. My roommate and I rented it one weekend. I couldn't even make it through the first 30 minutes. It was like watching an acid trip of Bohemian Paris meets Nirvana. Almost everyone else I know loved the movie and thinks I am the oddball for not loving it, too.

The same thing happened to me, but I rewatched it and MADE myself sit past the first 30 minutes, and I LOVED it!!! You just have to get past the beginning!!

Armageddon...that is the stupidest movie ever made. Actually...anything with Bruce Willis automatically sucks since he can't act his way out of a 2nd grade school play...

Coyote Ugly....I don't even think I should comment.

Varsity Blues. I have never seen so many different ideas of what an actor thinks a TX accent must sound like. Dawson himself must have used 5 different ones in that one movie...

Anything with Arnold Swarzenegger (sp?). He seems like a nice enough guy but he needed to stick to fitness and stuff.

Pretty Woman. I don't think it is terrible, but it is definitely not that great.

There is one movie that everyone loves - and I mean everyone from young to old - and I hate it! I cringe in fear when I see it is advertised on tv. What is this evil movie? It's a Wonderful Life. Ick!

Every Christmas Eve everyone in my house would watch this movie, and I just wanted to puke. In fact, I spent part of this last Christmas watching it with Mr. Chitown ChiO's mom and trying to hide the grimace on my face.
