"Great" Movies You Hate

[Adam]

Fight Club

Forest Gump

[Tank]

pulp fiction

[mtangelsfan]

Shakespeare in Love.

 

and it isn't even close.

[Adam]

Gravity

[ten ocho recon scout]

Titanic

[red321]

Atonement (I'm assuming since it was nominated for an Oscar it qualifies as "good", if not great)

 

During the big dramatic divulge at the end, I actually burst out laughing and declaring what a waste of our time in the theater.

 

I also cannot understand how any person in their right mind can watch more than 2 minutes of an Austin Powers flick without reaching for the remote and bashing whomever turned it on over the head.

 

I'm also with Tank on Pulp Fiction

 

 

Oh...but tops of the list

 

Gone with the Wind.

 

What a bunch of whiners...seriously...you traitors lost the war, get over it.

[IEAngelsfan]

pulp fiction

I'll add anything that Tarantino has done.  I can't stand any of his movies.

[Tank]

Red, i agree with you about GWTW. aside from clark gable's suave character, the rest of the movie blows. scarlett is a miserable person, and it's a wimpy story about the poor south.

[red321]

I think Gone With the Wind has done more to romanticize the traitorous South than pretty much anything in the last century.

[mrwicked]

crash. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Which one?

Off topic, but when I took a business trip to Charleston a few years ago, our group took a city carriage tour.  The guide was describing the various historic homes and buildings when we came upon one big home.  He started to describe the various owners and then he came to one owner who purchased the property right after the Civil War.  He paused and to paraphrase (read it in a southern accent for a dramatic effect) "he was a carpetbagger from the north and well, we don't like carpetbaggers here."  I chuckled since he made it sound as if this event happened just a few years ago.

 

I know that he has a job to do and that adding that phrase may be his way to add flavor to his tour, but I got the impression that southerners simply have a hard time letting go of certain things.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Anything with Georg Clooney.

 

Any Coen Brothers' film outside of NCFOM.

 

Gravity.

[ten ocho recon scout]

crash.

You're better off not having seen it. It's terrible. Says a lot about shitty taste that a movie so bad is the highest grossing film ever.

Movie was blah...but visually it was quite stunning and really advanced 3D technology.

after the first 15 seconds or so Lost in Translation loses it's appeal

[nate]

And the Big Lebowski and True Grit???  I am not a fan of everything they do but they had at least four awesome movies.

 

edit: OMG and Raising Arizona!

You shut your dirty whore mouth you heartless bastard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure "whore" and "bastard" really work together when speaking to one person but I don't care.

This will probably rile people but but I never thought Braveheart was any good.

[Adam]

I wasn't able to make it all the way through Braveheart. Tried 3 times. Add it to my list.

 

I think Nate and I would make good movie dates for each other.

 

Nate, how are your handjobs?

Well, he wouldn't have to reach very far down.
