[The Conquistador]

Any sports movie with the exception of The Longest Yard and Talladega Nights.

Feardotcom(incredibly stupid and horrible acting)

House of The Dead movies.

Day of The Dead(with Mena Suvari; another incredibly stupid movie)

Any movie that has anything to do with "hip hop dance" as horrible acting is already a given.









I'll return with more.

[The Conquistador]

Oh yeah. Anything with John Cena. I hate wrestlers-turned-actors. Blehhhhhh!

[Jenae LaTorque]

-------but they left me feeling cheated of the time wasted in watching them.

The Signal would be the latest example of this. What a total waste of time.

That latest Keanu Reeves flick, (TDTESS), is another one. How can someone do a remake and do it so badly that it is inferior to the original that was made over fifty years previous?

Cloverfield or something like that. I have tried. but as you see; I haven't forgotten this garbage. It was like somebody borrowed a lot of good film ideas and the techniques used in them and then proceeded to reuse them in the stupidest and most insane ways.

Signs (....its about Crop Circles)

Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, Rory Culkin... all this starcast and the outcome is a bag of garbage! I was really frustrated after watching that film.



Eraserhead

Its an old art film, that could well be renamed, Dickhead!



Desperately seeking Susan

Madonna, Rosanna Arquette, Aidan Quinn... the most dull, sorry-ass film ever!

[Creedence]

Well I guess it'd have to be Napoleon Dynamite since I walked out of the theater within the first twenty minutes... that movie is terrible.

[KittyKaiti]

Don't get me going about "The Day After Tomorrow". Why it isn't considered Sci-Fi, I don't know. Nothing realistic about it. And any movie that contains completely baseless, unnecessary gore, violence, perverse behavior, etc such as the "Saw" movie series and other torture/gore films which make no sense or were made purely for the reason to depict fucked up shit for no apparent reason. I hate "Saw" and all the following sequels. The whole movie was made by psychotics who should be examined by mental health professionals. It's not funny or cool or even scary. It's stupid.

[DeaconBlues]

Movies I absolutely HATE....

Any sort of "message movie." You know, the sort of movie that is anysort of politically corrected revisionist "history" (almost any movie from Walt Disney studios in the past twenty years fits this catagory) or any sort of christian driven propaganda (i.e. "Left Behind"). A long time ago, a Hollywood hotshot named Sam Goldwyn said of these "message movies" something like this: "You wanna send a message? CALL WESTERN UNION!" I agree with Sam on that one, I go to the theatre or rent a DVD to be entertained, or in some cases educated, but I can definitely do without any of the propagand flicks.

I also hate ANYTHING done by "Uli Lomell." A couple of years ago, a movie came out called "Black Dahlia," based on the murder of an aspiring actress named Elizabeth Short. IMMEDIEATELY after the release of the REAL movie "Black Dahlia," Uli Lomell popped out a worthless piece of shit under the very same title, and I was one of the unfortunate suckers who picked up the wrong DVD at Hasting's.

Hi there.

Thanks for reminding me of all those waist of perfectly good celluloid or video tape and had disk space that "saw" type movies are.

I totally agree with you KittyKaity and DeaconBlues, these saw movies are sick, and message movies they seem to be trying to teaching you something and going about in the absolute worst way possible, unreal.

Thanks again.

JohnDowe.

Popular movies I can't stand. Good topic! Though this is going to get me hated, lol...
To keep it fair, I'll only include movies I've actually seen. Let's see...

1) A Christmas Story - holidays are coming and for some reason, people love this movie. Why they do continues to baffle me.
2) Fight Club - interesting premise, with perhaps the worst ending in the history of motion pictures.
3) The Matrix - the first one. I enjoyed the second and third, but the first one was like watching a documentary with the occasional stunt thrown in to keep people awake.
4) There's Something About Mary - was this supposed to be a comedy? If so, I'm missing something.


I'm sure I'll think of others. Will update when I do.

[Tbone]

Off the top of my head the film that really pisses me off is:

BRAVEHEART - what a load of inaccurate crap

Other crap movies include:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (I won't watch any of the others or read any of the books).
Bridget Jones' Diary, etc.
The Blair Witch Project - too boring for words

Hourglass, I liked the first Matrix film. The second Matrix was just a tedious, montage of fight sequences, and as a consequence I never bothered to watch the third Matrix film. Just personal tastes - if we all liked the same films this thread wouldn't be.

I really enjoy A Christmas Story. I think that one of the reasons (for me, anyways) is that it takes place at a different time, when people's attitudes regarding the holidays was different. Plus, it was a story about a family and not about a dog/kid/adult/man-formerly-without-a-heart saving Christmas(or the world!). A consider it a classic!

With regards to The Matrix, I enjoyed the first one a lot more than the second two. That is not to say that I did not find some enjoyment in them, but they came across as just being made for the sake of being made. Something that made sense by the end of the first movie got way too obfuscated by the end of the third. They do it all again? The cycle is broken? Huh? LOL!

And there seems to be a lot of hate for the Harry Potter movies. I guess I am one of the few here that seems to enjoy them. LOL! I enjoyed the books more, though. I liked the journey that Harry and his friends were on, and how the story got darker as they got older. I could also see how she grew as a writer as each book went along.

Of course, these are just my opinions. There is certainly nothing wrong with anyone not liking the aforementioned movies. Heck, there are probably some people out there that enjoyed the movie 'Abandon'.:D

[shadows]

Here are some movies that I cannot stand.

Darkness. This movie, which came out in 2002 and starred Anna Paquin, was one of the most idiotic movies I have ever seen. The whole premise behind the "evil" of the movie, not to mention the actions by the mother/daughter left me shaking my head. And the ending? Ugh.

Abandon. This gem stars Katie Holmes(sorry Tom, but I'm not calling her Kate!) and Benjamin Bratt. This movie also came out in 2002. I actually prefer Darkness over this one. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that this is my most hated movie of ALL time. If I can, I try to dissuade people from having to watch this crappy-ass movie!

The Unborn. This movie came out this year. The main problem with this movie is that it takes every horror movie cliche and places it haphazardly in! While not a true pile of garbage, the movie was not scary at all as you knew where every "scare" was going to come from before it was even on the screen!

Out of the three, I would say to avoid watching Abandon the most.

I am sure I will find more movies later, but I had to get those ones off my chest first.:D

God lord. We've come this far and yet nobody has mentioned the "Movie" Parody franchise? Those bastards must Die!!!

But singularly I would have to say Uwe Bolls "Alone in the Dark." I rented it on the premise that his work couldn't be as bad as everyone said.

Oh the horror of my mistake!!! It was the first time that a Movie really negatively upset me. The clerk was willing to refund me when he heard my tale of woe, But I told him some lesson's have to painful in order to truly learn something from them

I just IMDB'd Uwe for the title of the movie (I try NOT to remember anything about it!) And have discovered he actually made a fucking sequel!!!

There are people starving and that POS gets enough money together to make a sequel? There truly is no god...

Alpha, if you are talking about the Scary Movie series, I believe it was mentioned a few posts above(John mentioned it, I think).

Uwe Boll deserves to get locked away for the crap that he makes. A good movie premise can be turned to shit whenever he gets his "magic" touch on them. Perhaps he can be tied to a chair and forced to watch his crappy-ass movies for the rest of his life? Fair punishment I would say.

I really hate japanese porn movies. I bought one once for more than 50 euro and it was totally censored. You couldn't see anything. Nothing.

No offense, but I really don't consider them movies going by the criteria that we are judging the other movies in the thread by.:D

At least by reading this thread you've been warned away from such turds as Date Movie, Wrong Turn 2, and many other crap-laden movies.

[Hedonistman]

This piece of tripe just came out on dvd and is sooooo badly done it was hard to believe. Poor Britney Murphy must be starving for roles,,, she also had the worst makeup I've ever seen on her-- ghastly. The special features were hiliarious--- the director himself clearly indicated he had no clue how to make a feature film, lol.
