All the Presidents Men. I can see why its a classic, but every time I try to sit down and watch it, i wake up at the end with the typewriter going.

I couldn't get into any of the LOTR movies. I like fantasy, I like adventure, I like fighting, but those films are boring as hell to me.
Once upon a time in Hollywood.
Closely followed by anything that's self-jerking Hollywood's ego. I'm looking at you too La La Land!
Super Mario Bros (1993) - it is just horrible, the only good thing about the movie is that it has a practical Yoshi puppet.
Uwe Boll's "Alone in the dark"
I rented that movie, and it was so bad that half way through it I turned it off. When I went back to the rental store they offered me my money back.
I said no. Because some lessons have to be painful in order to learn from them.
Everything Disney did with Star Wars
I know this is heresy but any Godfather movie, or the Sopranos, or anything that romanticizes the fucking mafia. To me organized crime characters are pieces of shit I can't admire or relate to. The only movie that ever made me root for gangster types was Pulp Fiction, which is a masterpiece.
Gone With The Wind
Avatar. Good Lord what bad acting and visual dynamics will do for a movie.
You mean 'Pocahontas with blue people'?
I never understood why people liked it so much...
Can it be a director?
The dark Knight is the only good Nolan movie. And Heath carried all of the weight
Iβd put memento ahead of the dark knight, but agree Nolan is enormously overrated.
Hmm, I sort of agree about Ledger. I rewatch Inception, Interstellar, and The Prestige regularly though. The IMAX shots in Interstellar are amazing in 4k HDR and I do enjoy the plot for the other two.
Eternal Sunshine if a Spotless Mind has such good reviews and people speak fondly of it online. I hated it, just thought both characters were insufferable, and there was nothing remotely romantic about it. Felt like I was trapped in the bad relationship with them.
I thought I was alone with this opinion. There are dozens of us!
- Closest I've come to walking out of the theatre. So disappointing after the great short, which they took and just animeified
Do you mean the number 9 movie about the cloth dolls? I love that one lol...
Me too :D
Yup.
If The Sopranos was boring, what youβd get is The Godfather. Itβs boring. And it insists upon itself.
I kinda liked your comment, but it insists upon itself.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
Absolute snoozefest with possibly the worst cast leads in modern history.
This was universally panned, so I don't think you hit the prompt.
