Least Favorite Movies?

**Nomilynn** · 11-15-2002, 01:43 AM

I also really disliked Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. I find that when I have to read subtitles I stop watching the movie because I'm so focused on reading

I didn't know it was subtitles when I went to watch too so I was all disappointed

I didn't really like that one either.. it was too slow in the beginning for me

Best in Show was a comedy. It's like a mockumentary, and it wasn't to be taken seriously. It was poking fun at crazy dog people, and wasn't supposed to be a real life story or anything like that.

My votes for crap movies are so long. Nearly everything these days sucks. Here are some I can think of that I really didn't enjoy:

The Other Sister
The Affair
Forrest Gump
Green Mile
Beautiful Mind
Titanic
Grease
Dirty Dancing
As Good As It Gets
I Am Sam

I just rented "Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood". I was VERY disappointed. It was long and it took forever to get to the point. I'm glad I waited till it came out in video. I would've been a little upset wasting over $8 to see it in the movies, although the buttered popcorn would've been SOME consolation.

I am so cheap (well, "thrifty") and usually so busy that I don't go see movies in theaters much anymore - I wait for the video to come out and I rent it. That way I can pause, rewind, and watch it more than once. One movie that stands out that I was forced to watch in the theater was Titanic and it STUNK BIG TIME! I know everyone in the world raved about that movie and the special effects, but the WRITING! It was god-awful! I kept wondering if James Cameron was really a 15-year old girl in disguise, because the storyline was like something a giddy schoolgirl would have written. You have the "icky" boyfriend, who doesn't like art or appreciate anything else that she likes, who was made to look so sinister he should have been twirling a mustache throughout the film, for crying out loud. Then you have the "good" boyfriend, played by the conveniently teen-poster material Leo DeCaprio, who is - what? - an unemployed artist (?) who can draw her naked without becoming a total horndog, so that proves he's sensitive and stuff. Add the scenes of them chasing each other like idiots down the halls, hiding from her "parents" (i.e. handlers), making out in a "car", and that "Terminator", Linda Hamilton-type scene of Rose plowing through waist high water with an ax in her hands and sporting biceps that would put Madonna to shame, and it just got so painful to watch that I actually left the theater with a headache. The most putrid moment was probably when that dried-apple of a woman asked "you mean did we 'do it'?" when recalling her youthful adventures on the Titanic. Nobody over the age of 16 would say that. The one thing I enjoyed about Titanic is that it spawned one of our inside family jokes - my daughter and I will sometimes flop full-length on the couch with one arm over our heads, and say "Paint me, Jack"

I would also have to add to the Gwyneth Paltrow-bashing going on - my nephew refers to her as "the stick insect" because he thinks she looks like a praying mantis

I guess he likes girls with actual flesh on their skeletons. I agree that South Park: The Movie was definitely not meant to bash Canadians, but to point out the stupidity of sterotyping in general. I am such a fan of the TV show that I spent theater money to go see it when it first came out. The movie was kind of funny, but very painful to watch because I'm an over-40 kind of conservative Midwesterner, so the non-stop swearing and disgusting sexual references made me a little uncomfortable. I've actually laughed harder at some of the TV episodes. And I actually LIKED Fargo - I guess maybe you have to be from around Minnesota to find it funny or compelling.

I hated that Blame Canada thing because soooo many idiots used it as a way to hassle us Canucks. peeved me big time!!!
LOL @ Stick Insect lololol

One of the worst movies? Best in show! I usually love "dumb" movies, but I just thought that one was stupid. Also couldn't stand Being John Malkovich.

**Treen** · 11-15-2002, 09:26 AM

I quite liked both of those! I loved Fargo too - it's one of my favourite films.

One of the worst films of all time has to be 'Brigitte Jones' Diary'. I was bored rigid - everything about it was absolutely dreadful. I'd read the book and hadn't enjoyed that at all (whiny neurotic women don't amuse me - it's just dull) so didn't think I would like it. But my friend insisted it was the best film he'd seen all year and I'd love it anyway. Wrong!

Watching Ya Ya was like watching my family. Sad ain't it!

My Least Fav:
Scary Movie (I usually like the dumb kinda movies but...)
Godzilla (just plain stupid)
Rollerball (Too violent for me...which says alot since I was brought up watching horror movies)

**Edwina's Secretary** · 11-15-2002, 09:54 AM

What a relief to know that I am not the only person around who thought Titanic was STUPID! What would a woman want with the androgonous boy Leo whatever? A proper woman of that time simply would NOT have engaged in such behavior nor even know what "the finger" was (if that even meant anything at that time.) The sets ere fabulous, the costumes exquisite, the story DUMB!

OMG!

LOL LOL ROTFL That is SO true!!

She does look like a praying mantis! LOL

I also agree on the nomination of Brigitte Jones' Diary. Again, none of the characters were really likable.

I also usually like the occasional dumb/funny movie...but Best In Show was a little too dumb. I agree, some wierd combinations of people there! LOL I just avoided Scary Movie, because it looked too dumb too! LOL

**gini** · 11-15-2002, 11:42 AM

Here are my two cents..........The English Patient - while watching it, I was so bored - the female character (can't think of the actress) was a slut - and I kept thinking - so die already!

When he carried her into the cave with the flowing parachute that looked like a nighgown - it was just too much!!

**All Creatures Great And Small** · 11-15-2002, 01:32 PM

OMG, how could I have forgotten The English Patient - another waste of theater money that I went to because Ralph Fiennes usually makes my heart palpitate. My husband and I went to see that, and I remember we were both dozing off in our chairs but I think neither one wanted to tell the other we were bored silly. At the end, all we could say was man, that was a long movie, I didn't get what the plot was, and it SUCKED. By the way, the slut was Kristin Scott-Thomas, who was also in the Four Weddings and a Funeral movie that everyone seems to hate. I just don't get the appeal of Hugh Grant at all, and Andie McDowell was just annoying throughout that whole picture. A lot of stilted, no-way-would-people-really-talk-that-way dialogue in that movie, too.

And how could I have forgotten the touching "let's hock a loogie" scene in Titanic? A cinematic masterpiece, indeed!
