1. Pirates of the Caribbean. Especially the first one; but I have tried to watch it multiple times and struggled to stay awake. Sure Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow is iconic and very well preformed, however the rest of the movie I found to be rather dull and uninspired...

2. The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. I have absolutely no idea why either is as beloved as they are. Every scene is like a knife in my brain.

3. I so agree! They were horrible movies... I had to wake myself on five minute basis...

4. Aliens.

To be far, I don't dislike, I just don't love it. Alien is a masterpiece in my eyes, but I've never felt the same about the sequel.

5. I'd like to add Dodge-ball, and Slumdog Millionaire. I enjoyed Slumdog, but thought it was extremely overrated with a fairly predictable ending. Also, I had never seen an Indian/Bollywood movie before, so when everyone started dancing at the end I could not believe it.

It was a very good "wait..WHAT" sort of moment.

6. I have two: Donnie Darko, and A Clockwork Orange.

Darko hasn't survived quite the way I expected it to, but in high school ALL of my friends tried to make me watch it repeatedly. As I've grown up, the hype has kind of (mercifully) died down. I just thought it was weird and hard to understand.

Clockwork...I really don't like anything by Kubrick. He is obsessed with penises, and frankly that weirds me out. Clockwork is particularly psychotic and trippy, and I don't think he makes the social commentary that he intends to make with the film.

7. I agree with you on Donnie Darko, I didn't get the hype behind this film. I had no connection or liked Donnie (could be that I'm not a fan of Jake Gyllenhall, or anything he does), I just didn't care about his little evil bunny visions. Here's a gun kid, kill it or yourself an leave me alone.

Another one is Wonder Boys. I just didn't believe Michael Douglas' character as being genuine and Tobey's character was annoying (could be that I'm not a fan of Tobey Maguire, or anything he does... except for Ice Storm). I just got bored with this film.

8. Amen! Heat bored the hell out of me. I was looking forward to it too.

Slumdog Millionaire was the one from last year that eluded me. I felt like I was the only one who saw right through its emptiness.

9. ditto.

10. Finally, reasonable people who don't think Slumdog Millionaire is Jesus in film form. That movie didn't do it for me at all. I didn't connect with the characters and the ending was saccharine.

11. Boondock Saints, My friends herald it as a masterpiece, But its really just dumb.

Posted at 10:56PM on Nov 4th 2009 by Zach

12. Ditto. Boondock Saints. Many of my friends love it but to me it feels like a poorly executed knockoff of modern crime movies. Seeing Overnight didn't help.

13. 'Twilight'. If past teeth-gnashing, beastly bellowing, and eternally whiney comments of previous posts weren't proof enough.

The infuriating part is 'New Moon' looks kind of interesting based on the evil vampire designs and the fight scenes. *resumes teeth gnashing*

14. thank you! i honestly cannot see what all the hype is about. the only reason new moon appeals to me is because taylor lautner is hot and that creepy edward leaves. people kept telling me i had to read the books to have a valid opinion. i read the books, they sucked.

15. Ditto. I attempted to watch it last spring out of morbid curiosity (my roommates wouldn't stop quoting it, and I'd never read the book series so I was going in cold), and it was easily the most brain-meltingly awful movie I have seen in a really long time.

Ham-fisted acting? Check.

Bargain-basement special FX? Check.

Crappy dialogue, flimsy plot and unlikable characters? Check.

Daytime soap opera-worthy awkward pauses/glances? Checkity check check.

I can usually sit through a bad movie if a friend really wants to see it, but this was the first time that a movie actually made me angry over how horrible it was. The only saving grace was that I watched it on dvd, and avoided actually paying money to sit through that trainwreck.

16. Raging Bull for me. I see why people like it, but I absolutely hate it, because I feel Scorsese is trying too hard to make his audience suffer with this film (and I read LaMotta's book, which I found way more interesting). I actually love a lot of Scorsese's films (Taxi Driver, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Departed) but this one I hate. I also find Goodfellas overrated (not bad, just not that great).

Also, Fight Club is a film that everyone lists as one of their favorites, the film lost me in its crowded second hour and I ended up not caring about the twist. I honestly find it overrated.

17. Hail to thee, Isaac Richter! I DESPISED this movie when I first saw it, and walked 80 blocks home that night, fuming at why I was supposed to feel anything but revulsion at these horrible characters. And then to have it propped up time and again as "The Single Greatest Movie Of The 1980s" just got me angrier and angrier. (And I love "Goodfellas" and "Mean Streets" and even "Kundun," so don't throw that at me.)

The very next night, I saw Kurosawa's "Kagemusha," and his mastery of understatement -- experiencing an entire battle sequence through the face of an eyewitness -- completely rejuvenated my faith in cinema. "Raging Bull" was that awful for me.

18. Wall-E. Im not saying it was a bad movie but i don't think it deserved the extremely high praise it received.

19. Cast away...no freakin dialogue...couldn't stay awake!!!
