"Great" Movies You Hate

[nate]

I have short fingers... so that should be perfect for you.

2) The Big Lebowski

3) The Departed

 

 

Two of my favorite movies.

[Thomas]

4) Anything Pirates of the Caribbean after the first one (not sure if anybody on here even liked the first one. i did)

 

Isn't this the equivlent of saying the 2nd and 3rd Matrix films?

[Thomas]

If by hate you been bored to tears...2001

[red321]

forgot about Grand Budapest Hotel...in general movies that try to really hard to be hip and quirky annoy the hell out of me

 

Anything that includes Owen Wilson (with the exception of Midnight in Paris which I was surprised I didn't dislike)

 

The Hangover

Pineapple Express

 

though I think some of that is I'm just old so a lot of that is just lost on me

[Ray McKigney]

Two of my favorite movies.

 

Me too. Love Lebowski and the Departed.

I like the Shanghai movies and the Meet the Parents movies.

[Adam]

Me too. Love Lebowski and the Departed.

 

Me three. Departed isn't one of my favorites, but I definitely enjoyed it.

I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time a few months ago. I was surprised by how terrible it was. I like most Blake Edwards movies too. The Pink Panther and Skin Deep just to name a couple. Breakfast at Tiffany's was so bad. The Mickey Rooney character is ridiculous. I could barely finish it.

[Tank]

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

 

i wish you an early breakdown on the 405, say around 3:00, and that there aren't any tow trucks available. and may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits!

 

 

oh yeah, and shut your dirty whore mouth!!!

[nate]

And that song sucks ass too.

 

You shut your whore mouth

[Ray McKigney]

And that song sucks ass too.

 

Maybe that was playing in my subconscious while I was watching it. The movie never stood a chance.

That actually happened to me once.  Except for the fleas and camels part.

That brings up something I've been thinking about lately. We've decided to try watching the "top 100 movies" of all time. The list are usually generally similar so we've been using the IMDB list. Most of the movies listed are much older, so I'm wondering how some of these are going to hold up. Items like the Mickey Rooney character, which when viewed today is obviously incredibly racist, and yes, back then it was incredibly racist, but society was different. I'm interested to see how much that impacts my impression of some of these movies.

[Blarg]

Just about the entire list of nominees for the 2012 academy awards. What a shit fest of films. I didn't hate Moneyball but I never felt it was more than a publicity film.

And the next day you booked the movie trucks for Wisconsin?

[nate]

And the next day you booked the movie trucks for Wisconsin?

 

No, I broke up with my girlfriend on the west side.

The art of acting on film has changed greatly. Some of the old films play like a bad soap opera mixed with propaganda films. They are entertaining if you dispelled everything you believe is right or wrong about society today.

Gone With The Wind is a great example.

 

And Casablanca.

[Blarg]

Casablanca?

Shut your whore mouth you bastard!

See Tank, it does work together.

[nate]

That was MT, and I am not saying it is bad, just when you look at it, it wouldn't hold up today.

 

I enjoy Casablanca.

[Blarg]

Very few would hold up today and every one would be a bastardized ruin remade.

Yes, it is a racist character, but that wasn't even my problem with it. It was a wacky, over the top slapstick character in an otherwise straight-laced-type movie. Just seemed oddly out of place and unnecessary to me.

Kind of like your face!

[the dude abides]

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.

 

No kidding.  How do ET and Forrest Gump make this list?

 

Nate and Adam should be on an ISIS watch list after this thread.
