Aliens.
Top Gun.
Anything by Oliver Stone, apart from Salvador.
Stargate.
Braveheart.
Gladiator.
Nightmare on Elm St.

Just don’t do it for me.

Oh, and the last film I saw – “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” aka “A Shit Actor and Loads of CGI Bollocks”.
My son’s review “That’s the worst film I’ve ever seen”. (he hasn’t seen as many as most of us, but he’s seen a fair few)

Oh god, how could I forget? One of only two films where I’ve walked out of the cinema half way through (the other being Kill Bill)

I think you and I would probably get on.

walking out of a cinema you say?

Jackie Brown.

I think you and I would probably get on.

Oh, quiet you *blushes*

walking out of a cinema you say?

Only 1 film ever: Highlander

I’ve said a few times on threads like this, but this film made me walk out.

Vile.

walking out of a cinema you say?

Charlies Angels 2: Full Throttle – I’m ashamed I even went in

My go to on these threads is Solaris with George Clooney. Steven Soderbergh isn’t a good director or writer, but that’s the film that winds me up the most. F***ing awful navel gazing twaddle

The Big Lebowski

You’re dead to me Flashy!

*bursts into tears*

Midnight in Paris

The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Watched this on TV the other week, not expecting much as I’ve found his other stuff a bit too up itself. Loved this one though – funny, smart, touching and a great chase scene.

Jackie Brown.

I think it’s a great film. Have happily watched it a few times now and enjoyed it more each time.

The Matrix.
Just a bit too old for it I think.

I don’t think it’s rubbish, or most of the others, I just don’t like it.

Most of the National Lampoon stuff too.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Withnail & I from start to finish in one go, but from what I’ve seen I don’t get the adoration at all. Maybe it was a right time/right place sort of film for a lot of people?

The Force Awakens was also not all that.

Avatar, Kill Bill, Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, Raging Bull.

I don’t think Eyes Wide Shut was highly acclaimed.

The Thin Red line is good, albeit a touch confused in places.

Fury.. everyone seems to simper over it, and yes the first half is probably quite realistic (hence veterans recommending it), but the 2nd half is a steam pile of jingoistic crap.

The Big Lebowski

Hmmmm, while I’m all for individual taste and all that and I get that what might appeal to some won’t to others, but for the record there is no doubt that this film is not by any definition you care to choose “rubbish”

Apocalypse Now and nearly everything by Stanley Kubrick

+1 Withnail and I.

The Big Lebowski is, however, brilliant.

Fury.. everyone seems to simper over it, and yes the first half is probably quite realistic (hence veterans recommending it), but the 2nd half is a steam pile of jingoistic crap.

We watched it last week, and by the end were both laughing out load at how comically, preposterously ridiculous it was. Bloody awful film!

What was wrong with it?

Seven was terrible…!

Not a fan of the godfather trilogy.

Everything by Tarantino including Reservoir Dogs.

Ftfy

The Apartment ..Jack Lemmon’s CC Baxter just annoyed me too much.

Shibboleth! He was supposed to be annoying! 😉

The Sixth Sense.

Seven was terrible…!

Not a fan of the godfather trilogy.

How we’ve been friends so long amazes me 😉

Another one I’ll add to the ‘meh’ category – The Revenant

I bet some of you even talk in the cinema

Forrest Bloody Gump. Complete balls.

The Departed.
4 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director yet the film it’s based on (Infernal Affairs) is sooo much better. Scorsese seems to have missed the entire point of the story…

Oh, and The Fifth Element. So close yet so utterly ruined by its own complete cheesiness.

Watching the Diva scene was like having a block of edam topped with some chedder and sandwiched between two bricks of brie rammed down your throat.

yet the film it’s based on (Infernal Affairs) is sooo much better.

I thought Scorsese had taken a decent movie and added another dimension to it.

The Usual Suspects – Nobody ever agrees with me here so maybe I need to watch it again, but not sure I could torture myself for that long!

Withnail & I – errrr yeah! Makes Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas look high brow by comparison! Not sure I even managed to finish it, can’t remember it was so crap.

Jackie Brown is a grower… Wrote it off after the first watch, subsequently “accidentally” watched it a 2nd time (might have been trying to entertain a lady I think) then a 3rd etc. The more you watch it the better it is.

Anything by M. Night Shyamalan after The Sixth Sense. Everything since suggests that the first one was a fluke.

…Was Braveheart not a documentary? :O)

Taxi Driver

The Deerhunter

Kubrik? Dr Strangelove is utterly, utterly brilliant!

The Usual Suspects – Nobody ever agrees with me here so maybe I need to watch it again, but not sure I could torture myself for that long!

my wife would agree – basically considers the ending to be equivalent to ‘then he woke up and it was all a dream’.

Well thanks for clearing that up.

“Nearly” everything… I like Full Metal Jacket too, but everything else just doesn’t click at all…

Got to semi-agree with Spin. Most Tarantino films are overrated but I watched Reservoir Fogs for the first time since release. Very very good. Jackie Brown deserves an honourable mention and one scene in Kill Bill but the rest is tosh.

Although he can be *slightly* forgiven for introducing me to Christopher Waltz.

The Master. Critically lauded.
Three hours of brutally rambling tedium.
