I think anyone with a brain goes through a phase of hating
THE WIZARD OF OZ. I did. Then, you realize how good it is for completely different reasons from enjoying it as a child.
THE WIZARD OF OZ is about as good as Hollywood got.
...
FORREST GUMP was mainly annoying. I always forget that people like it a lot because it seems like such an unlikely thing for humans to enjoy.
I kind of hate GOOD WILL HUNTING.
I hate
FORREST GUMP. And
GOOD WILL HUNTING is manipulative horse hockey; hate it and make fun of it often.
I've never been able to sit through IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE...
That's too bad, it's quite good.
I don't hate Night of the Hunter.......I just found it incredibly boring and predictable...
You don't know sh!t from shineola...
all 3 Lord of the Rings
I loved the first one, was perplexed by the second, and overwhelmingly BORED by the third.
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.
Words fail me.
You fail. Sorry,
Newt, but we'd agree about some people being LONG WINDED no doubt (though not in this thread).
2001: A Space Odyssey
Sure the FX were great, but they were so impractical no one was able to use the same methods. Moving 30' space ships around a studio and doing most of the matte work by hand is commendable, but expensive. The film didn't really advance the art of special FX the way King Kong, Star Wars, or Jurassic Park did. Don't really like the story either; it seems like the writer and director were trying to be bizarre/unclear to keep people wondering what it was about/talking about it.
Maybe I spoke too quickly about wind... HOWEVER, I can totally see where anyone would
NOT LIKE THIS FILM. I was
BORED the first time I saw it, and probably the second, and the third... but, I kept coming back. I loved the soundtrack long before the film. Now, it is one of my favorites. I have come to LOVE what I call "motionless" movies.
BARRY LYNDON is also like that.
Everything Woody Allen directed
As stated above.
The Sound of Music. I admit it is a well-done movie, but when it comes on, I want to claw my way through a wall to escape.
...
While I know I'm not alone on this board, I'll include Titanic. I watched it once years ago. It p**sed me off then, and it still does.
I truly loathe
THE SOUND OF MUSIC.
TITANIC is a film I enjoy hating.
I was tremendously disappointed by THE ENGLISH PATIENT. Maybe I need to watch it again. But the first time I saw it, I kept thinking: "This is really boring. And that make-up isn't fooling me at all."
Boe-ring.
