When I was Christmas shopping a few weeks ago, I overheard someone say they HATED the movie "Grumpy Old Men". Now, this is not my favorite movie, not by a long shot, BUT, , I just don't see what there is to HATE about it. It's a lighthearted romantic comedy with some great, long-time actors. Burgess Meredeth's character was great, who wouldn't admire a beer-drinking, perverted, 95-year old man? Walter and Jack I thought did a great job of two senior-citizen adolescents that insist on being a pain in the @$$ to each other, Ann Margaret played her part well also. To me it's truly entertaining and fun.

This is one of those movies that although I understand it not being someone's favorite movie, I just don't see many people hating it, but, I'm sure there are those that do hate it, and I'd like to hear why. Also, anyone else know of a movie they can't see how anyone could hate?

For the record, I LOVE Star Wars, as well as The Matrix, but, I understand COMPLETELY why some would dislike and even hate those movies. I think movies of an epic scale easily polarize with audiences (Most of the movies I hate are of the "epic scale" variety), but those aren't what I'm talking about, if that makes any sense.

I was thinking of a lot of Pixar Disney ones.  Films like Toy Story, Monsters Inc, etc. They're witty for both adults and kids alike. 

Nobody can possibly hate the sheer excellence of films such as Re-Animator or Scent Of A Woman.

Finding Nemo.
Raiders of the Lost Ark

I hate them

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about everybody loving them, but I run into very few people that dislike The Princess Bride or The Fifth Element. I realize that fantasy movies may not be everyone's cup of tea, but these are both unique, well-done movies. I've read a couple of negative/meh comments about these movies, but only a very few.

There's no movie that someone doesn't hate, and there's no movie, however bad it might be, that someone doesn't love.  This board is continuing proof of the last part.
 

So give us your best guesses. . .

That's true.  The Princess Bride seems to be the one movie everyone loves.  Not sure about The Fifth Element  a lot of people I know simpl haven't seen it.

What about Wizard of Oz or Gone with the Wind  Never really heard anyone talk bad about them.

I don't like Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz was way cooler. :teddyr:

Wizard of Oz is OK, but not one of my favorites by a long shot. I've heard people give s**t about how Gone with the Wind is "Too long" or "Racist" :P . At the risk of another "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!", count me among those who don't like "Finding Nemo" all too much, kinda gets on my nerves.

Though it's not exactly something that "everyone" knows about, I have heard very few complaints about the original TREMORS, honestly, I don't see much that people would complain about.

Every year there's about 20 Pixar films about stupid CGI animals, I have no idea how the world isn't flooded in puke.  :question:

I think Wizard Of Oz is magical to some and a bit freaky to others hence some people's distaste of it.  I personally am ok with it but don't gush every time it's on.   

How about Jaws?  Its my personal fav of all time.  Although I wouldn't take it personal if someone didn't like it. 

I don't see how anyone could hate "The Christmas Story" but I'm sure there is some atheist out there that can't see past the title to see the humor.

The Outlaw Josey Wales maybe?  Most people seem to like that. 

Can't stand the Fifth Element, Chris Tucker absolutely ruined it, not that it was much good in the first place.   :teddyr:

Gigli?

Police Academy, no-one on earth can hate Police Academy....it's not possible!  :bouncegiggle:

*waits for someone to say they hate it (even tho' they don't) just to be awkward*

POLICE ACADEMY is okay.  But I hate each and every one of the sequels.

Die Hard

Can't stand Fifth Element. Can't think of anything I like about it.

Seems it's my day to be curmudgeon here. Won't go so far as to say I hate this movie, but I don't see why people love it so much. It's just a little bit of made-for-TV, not very original, not very funny, not very well-acted fluff. Eh, it's OK. I can sit through it.

Yup, can't fault Die Hard, no sir.  :thumbup:

Never seen too many say bad things about Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST, Mel Brooks' YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN or Ivan Reitman's GHOSTBUSTERS. Can't imagine too many loathing TOY STORY or the "Wallace & Gromit" shorts either. Me, I never cared for much for RE-ANIMATOR or SUSPIRIA, two horror faves I often see highly praised.

I agree on those, barring Wallace & Gromit. I don't rate Suspiria though either.

I also don't rate Suspiria. And it took me a while to enjoy Re-Animator. Love it now. And Bride of Re-Animator, haven't seen Beyond Re-Animator.

I'm very distraught by these comments but I'll move on. 

No one answered me about JAWS.  Thoughts?

I love Jaws to death. I hate people who hate on it. For 1975, to make a film with so much difficulty such as that is immense. It's timeless to me. 33 years later it's still not been bettered by any movie of a simliar genre, even with all this computer wizardry crap. Another example of why CGI is utterly rubbish and not needed. If they can do that in '75, then there's no excuse for not being able to create stuff live on-set. Brilliant, brilliant film that I must have watched over 100 times. Again, I love it!!!!!

Back to the Future.
Everyone's seen it, it's great !

Rock on Clownman!
Right on...that film always packs the same suspense for me at the end although I know whats going to happen. 

The Goonies ppl. I need say no more...  :teddyr:

Hey, I answered the question correctly... there's no movie ever made that nobody hates!

I thought of THE GODFATHER, but I know I read something somewhere by a person who hated it.  I also thought of CASABLANCA.  Although there are a huge number of people who refuse to see it because it's old and in b&w, I find it hard to believe many people would dislike it if they gave it a chance.

I thought the Pixar/Disney answer was a good one, but I know that somewhere there's some black-hearted evil clown who hates the stuff...  :wink:

Maybe the Platonic unhatable movie would be something that was so thoroughly average that no one could muster enough energy to hate on it.  It would also be the ultimate unlovable movie.

Well see heres the thing.  I worshiped the movie when I was younger but watched it the other day for the first time in many years. I can't say it entertained me as much as the first time but I did somewhat enjoy it.  So no I don't hate it but right now I'm ok with it. 

I dunno about that..  There are 9 total Pixar features (4 about animated animals), and they've been made over 13 years.  If my math is right, that's less than one a year.  But yeah, my sister doesn't like them either, borderline hates them actually.

I think The Princess Bride is probably the closest any film comes to not being hated by anyone.  I've known people who didn't like it, but none who outright hated it.  Aliens and the original Rocky are also up there.  Aliens seems to not be hated because it has a core story about humanity and maternal conflict at its core - meaning (stereotypically) women and men both like it.  But, some people are probably turned off by its violence and length.

How about IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE?  I've heard many people (including myself) say they are sick and tired of it after seeing it on TV about 50 times between Thanksgiving and Christmas . . . but I don't think I've heard anyone say they hate it.

And how about Disney's PINOCCHIO?  How can anyone hate that charming, naive, wooden lad?

I was tempted to say Shawshank Redemption, as most people love it.  But a few people on here said they didn't like it.

I'm gonna say Psycho.  Most people I've met who've seen it have nothing but positives to say about it.

Some of my favorite movies have been similarly dissed here. It's a big world, lot of different tastes. We all muddle through somehow.
 

Great movie. Aside from the suspense element (which admittedly worked a lot better the first time, when it was out in theaters), the scene with Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw trading shark stories and showing off scars is one of my all time favorite cinema moments.

You don' know no nuthin' 'bout no movies at all...  :wink:  RETURN TO OZ may, in fact be "way cooler," but THE WIZARD OF OZ is a miracle of a film that one can only hate mid way thru having looked at it all the times in one's life one will, or must.  Not a fan of WIZARD OF OZ really at all, but having lived thru at least 2 decades of can't stand the thing, and then coming to love it again, I'd say the film is at least resilient. 

I used to think I hated GONE WITH THE WIND, but it's just overhyped, and I've compromised on that one, too. 

Does anyone hate CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND?
Does anyone hate THE HAUNTING? 
Does anyone hate PATTON?

I really dislike Close Encounters of the Third Kind.  The story of Richard Dreyfuss slowly and loudly going nuts, with some UFO stuff tossed in at the end :teddyr:

Honestly, I haven't even seen the three movies you've just mentioned.

What I have found with many Wizard of Oz detractors is that they dislike it for a time and then come to love it again. I don't know the ages of doggett and Mr Briggs, but they both seem fairly young (I think Mr Briggs said he was a teenager). Men, particularly in their teens and early twenties, seem to go through a period of dislike for the movie ("It's just a stupid kid's movie" or "It's a musical. I hate musicals." are typical attitudes. Whether that applies to these two, I don't know). After gaining some perspective on life, most come back around to seeing the magic of the film. Again, I'm not trying to psychoanalyze anyone or put words in anyone's mouth; these are just my observations. Karma to you, Allhallowsday, for standing with me as an ardent defender of TWOZ  :thumbup: :teddyr:.

If you'd been around me 20 years ago, I would have told you I hated it.  I thought it was incredibly boring, up until the ending which I thought was laughably corny.  Now I've softened my opinion, and I can't say that I hate it anymore.  Still not fond of it, though.

Mary Poppins  :smile:

Hate it.

*bangs head against table*
NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Fantasic Voyage.

Don't see much hating on Road Warrior and Return Of Living Dead,

Not sure about Road Warrior (Heck, that's one of the very few movies my dad has said he actually likes XD), but I know there are a whole lotta people who hate ROTLD, Romero fanatics and uptight people mostly.

I don't hear a whole lot of uber-negative comments about Dog-Day Afternoon: It's fairly realistic (Based closely on a true story), got good direction/writing, and portrays both "villain" and "hero" in a mocking light without villifying either.

GASP! What wrong with you man ... correct these errors immediately!

Yeah, I know.  Most people are shocked with that.

I haven't seen Patton.

You should be SLAPPED!

(Watch the movie and you'll get it.)

That is a relief.

I thought you were gonna slap me because you didn't like me.

I'll stand up and be counted as one of the people who hate that movie. Shawshank haters, unite!!! We storm Tim Robbins' mansion tonight!

Also, what is the deal with everyone liking Iron Man? I just watched it squirming the whole way.

I'm a 21 year old heterosexual male, and I love Wizard of Oz.  This always shocks people.  People expect me to say something like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or some such when asked what my favorite movies are.  But Wizard of Oz is always in my top 5.  It's just a good story. 

I'm gonna say CASABLANCA as the film no one can hate.  If you say you hate it, you should be kicked in the throat by an angel.  It's a magnificent film.  They don't make films like that any more.  I've argued on occasion that CASABLANCA is the high point of world cinema.  After it's release, nothing so good was ever made again.  NOTHING. 

Another one I haven't watched.  Shocking, I know. 

I really just don't have time to watch movies anymore.  Not like I used to.

The wizard of oz is a great story. Well worth a watch when its repeated at easter or Christmas every year....

Ding dong the witch is dead......

Street Fighter, everyone loves...no...sorry.

Should've been more specific.  I haven't seen Casablanca.  I've seen Wizard.  D'oh.

Shhh I have also not seen that if the others find out I will sacrificed to the B movie god for not watching classic films....

Netflix has been a great tool for me to catch up with movies I always meant to watch but never got around to. When I think of one of those, I throw it on the queue. Eventually when I'm reviewing my queue, I'll put it on top and then finally see it.

Finally got around to Casablanca maybe 2 years ago that way. You'd be amazed how many movie cliches came out of that one film, which was just intended to be a quicky throwaway movie, filmed in a few weeks in the studio.

Two off the top of my head:
"Round up the usual suspects"
"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"

I can't say I "hate" The Princess Bride, but definitely in the "meh!" category for me -- I think the problem was that the book was originally over-hyped to me . . . I read it, and was sort of ho-hum about it all/thought it was second-rate Doug Adams.  So, when the movie came out, I was hoping that it would improve upon the book, but William Goldman's book was essentially the screenplay for the film as well, so no surprises.  My favorite bit is Billy Crystal & Carol Kane as ogres --

I've met people who hate Jaws, hate Casablanca, hate Wizard of Oz (My wife cannot bear either the Munchkins or the Flying Monkeys), hate Gone With The Wind . . . I'm forced to agree that there is no such thing as a movie NOBODY is going to hate.  I even know people who hate Spirited Away, one of the most totally charming films I've ever seen.

This is a great thread topic, but after wracking my brains, I cannot think of a single, solitary film that I haven't heard someone say they hated at one time or another, for whatever reasons or lack thereof.  I think "The Movie That Nobody Hated" would be a great title for a novel -- sort of a Holy Grail kind of thing . ..

peter puzzled/denny what film could it be?

Superman : The Movie.
We all like Chris Reeve

I don't like anything Superman-y  :buggedout:

How about Freddy's Dead the Final Nightmare. It's my fave of the series, it's so bonkers it's impossible to hate.

My head almost exploded from that post! I think if more than a handful of ppl liked that movie, the universe would collapse!  :buggedout: Awful, awful, so bad, it's an abomination type of film.  :bluesad:

I love it. But I do feel ashamed.
Frogs is a film abomination

Splash.

We all like that, right ?

I love Splash!  :bouncegiggle:

I also love Pretty In Pink, Working Girl, The Money Pit and err......Blind Date.

Now that's shame  :bouncegiggle:

Blind Date.... :bluesad:

Has The Breakfast Club been mentioned yet.
It's great...

The Breakfast Club is a masterpiece, but I know many who despise it. Damn them!  :hatred:

Uncle Buck
Field of Dreams

I've never met anyone who didn't like 'em.

Classics have an overhype to them all their own. Cassablanca was good, but also corny and the opposite of timeless. I'd say the same about It's a Wonderful Life, except for the 'good' part. Gone With the Wind is a very good movie but was obviously buoyed by racist southerners for obvious reasons.

The Neverending Story, though...never heard anyone hate it, hate certain scenes for certain reasons, but never hate the movie.

One film nobody hates:
Santa With Muscles.

Then again, all of about 0 people have seen it.  So technically, nobody hates it.

Well at least it was better than part 4.  Then again 98% of movies are. 

I'm cool with Splash.  John Candy rocked that film.

Ok how about Beetlejuice.  I love that film and find it hilariously dark and witty. 

Are you talking about the Sonny Chiba version from the 70's or the JCVD version based on the video game.  I haven't seen the SC version which I want to.  The one based on the video game was bad but good in a way.

I like John Candy in everything I've ever seen of his. I bought the complete SCTV series last Christmas (supposedly as a present for my wife).



I won't rain on your parade by saying I hate it. I just find it kind of... OK. I'll sit through it, but I wouldn't stop on it if I were channel surfing.


As I recall, I hated it. Perhaps if I'd seen it as a kid.

Have to disagree, it was bad in a bad way.

Nightmare Part 2 was the worst. It was incredibly dull...

The 'Burbs.

I thought Nightmare Part 2 was ace! Way better than 4,5 and 6.

NNOOOOO!!!!!

What did you think of New Nightmare ?

New Nightmare was really good.

That's a relief :smile:

Ever since this thread got started I've been trying to think of a movie, any movie, that might be a fit answer to the question.  I was initially going to respond with: BAMBI, then I remembered it's not exactly the tops on all parents list because of what happens to Bambi's mum.  Then I was going to say STAR WARS, until I remember that many non-genre fans were very critical of it, and still are.  (And you already nixed it anyway.)  And there's an entire generation of football fans who have a raging hate-on for THE SOUND OF MUSIC, so that's out.  And since DIE HARD has been played to death on cable and I know people who LOVED it that started to despise it.  And even I had the same problem with BACK TO THE FUTURE and GHOSTBUSTERS a few years back.

And I will NOT tolerate having IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE on my TV.  This is a movie that I wish they'd put into a vault and forget about for 500 years.  I don't hate it.  It's just. . . ANNOYING!

RE-ANIMATOR and SUSPIRA are movies that just aren't for everyone. So, the more I thought about it, the more I realized there was only ONE movie that I've never heard anyone say anything hateful about, though some may not care for it because of it's genre.  And what's the ONE movie that I can watch, even with commercials, and almost never tire of?

That movie is. . .

KELLY'S HEROES.   :thumbup:

Final answer.

I have to disagree although it was by no means a masterpiece.   I have to say the first one was great but I've always hated the ending.   Part three is my absolute favorite.

A little silly, but any movie with Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy I will automatically tend to like at least a little.


Love it.


Ick, ick, double ick. Hate every frame.

My mom hates Kelly's Heroes . . . Some context:  She had only recently seen Donald Sutherland in MASH, and thought Kelly's Heroes was going to be another comic Altman-esque war story.  Surprise!  Too many tanks, shooting, & dead soldiers for her taste.  She did live through the Blitz, after all . . .

Muppets Take Manhattan

So has anyone disproven Tremors, The Road Warrior, or Dog Day Afternoon yet?

I've always thought this film was great and actually a bit underrated. 
People gasp when I tell them I didn't like this film.  Probably my high distastes for musicals. 

Even my wife likes Tremors and Road Warrior -- we haven't seen Dog Day --
peter johnson/denny crane

What's wrong with Muppets Take Manhattan?

I think I'm just the right age to, personally, have nearly zero interest in THE MUPPETS, though I do admire JIM HENSON (and "Bein' Green" is one of my favorite songs, especially sung by KERMIT) and I suppose I've found them amusing at least a few times over the years, but I've never been one to watch their TV series or the movies.  I do think THE DARK CRYSTAL is very good, though perhaps a bit uncomfortable near the beginning, a unique vision; wonderful. 

I'm with Darksider, I still am no fan of NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, though it is wonderfully animated, and I actually like one or maybe two of the songs.  (And, DS, "musical" = "hate it" for me, more often.) As admirable as the ambition, effort, and beautiful results, like most of TIM BURTON's work, story is not top priority.  In the case of any animated film, story is everything. 

I would nominate MARY POPPINS as a film that NOBODY hates.  But I hate it.   :hatred:

I agree with you.  I HATE Mary Poppins.

As far as Nightmare, I just can't get into it.  I like Burton's movies (more often than not, Planet of the Apes not included), but even as a kid, I was like, "Who'd watch this?"  I think when musicals are done well, they're not too bad. 

Muppets: Never really watched the show much, as it was off by the time I was born.  Did see it in syndication and on dvd.  I did, however, grow up watching both Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock, as well as the Muppet Movies.  They're fairly well done, with a sense of humor that kids AND adults can like.  People think I'm crazy that at the age of 24 I'm still a fan.  Henson and crew did a good job. 

Aliens.
It's too good to hate.

My Cousin Vinny.
There are elements of this film similar to another...A cool chick who wears black gets stuck in a backwards town, hilarity ensues. I forget her name...

Ghostbusters.
At the very least you have to admire the theme tune :teddyr:

After watching Aliens again, I realise I hate it. The marines annoy me sooo much!  :hatred:

I'd say if it weren't for the musical numbers I'd probably like Nightmare more.  Good points on Tim Burton's visuals.  However I'd have to say in the past few years I've kind of lost touch with his style.  Perhaps its the pasty white folks in dark surroundings that has gotten a bit old for me.  

Although Tomei (the cutie she is) and Peschi were great, I think Fredy Gwynne stole that movie in every scene he had dialog. 

Didn't that movie have a suicide scene and a murder scene in it?

Yes and both times a bathtub was involved oddly

Weird Science.

I'm sure there are people that don't like it and the film isn't as funny as it could've been but you can't hate it.

I don't hate it, but it's boring.

Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

I don't dislike the movie ... but this is the only thing worth seeing it.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/2281954896_a2d4f52fae.jpg)

Only one strike against Kelly's Heroes so far.  That's not too bad.

Alas sometimes a movie rubs you wrong solely because of the actors in it.  Viz. .


 :tongueout:

I found that movie annoying to the point of being unwatchable.  I just couldn't stand it.  Too, I had a friend who LOVED that movie so much he got a tape of the soundtrack and, knowing how much this movie annoyed, took great pleasure in tormenting me with it.

I don't actually think that I've ever seen the 1986 version!  :buggedout:

How can you not love a film with a singing alien plant that eats people !!!!!

I'm perfectly fine with PLEASE DON'T EAT MY MOTHER and the original, it's just something about the choice of cast and the '86 version being a musical that got on my nerves.

Cheeze is right, Kelly Lebrock made it worth while.  Although I've seen some recent pics and um...well then, things have changed a bit.

How about Shrek?

I don't think anyone hates The Wizard of Oz.

Except me.  I hate it.

Dorothy's one-note golly-gee-whiz-gosh personality; the Scarecrow, Lion, and Tin Man yelling every word of dialogue; the Munchkins and their unbearable singing; the fact that a horde of flying chimps is somehow boring; pretty much everything else about the movie.

I hate it, but I think I'm the only one who does.

Oh, and a lot of people bring up The Princess Bride as a movie no one seems to hate.  Well, I'm that one.  I don't just dislike it, I hate it.  HATE it, everything about it, every line of dialogue, every single frame of film.  HATE it.

Shrek is awesome.  I love Gingy, the Gingerbread Man.  And Pinocchio.

Shrek 2
InnerSpace



Kelly LeBrock was on Hells Kitchen a few years back and now looks like a toad... :bluesad:

I can't stand the Shrek films.

Love Innerspace though, used to watch as a kid constantly  :smile:

"Play with it, son. Don't talk to it."

The more I see of this film, the more it's appeal ponders me. 

I love the COPS parody in Shrek 2.  They didn't have pepper spray, but the knight is grinding pepper in Shrek's face.   :bouncegiggle:

Color me evil,then. I can't STAND any of those films. Cute old people and cute robots. Ugh. I like mean evil old people and killer robots.

Tremors

Bob Clark's immortal A Christmas Story.  Not hateable, no matter how much you hate Christmas.

And Night Of The Lepus.  Stone cold classic.

I haven't seen either of those. :bluesad:
I wanna see a film with killer bunnies

I don't hate pixar, but i am extremely meh about them.  It's a Wonderful Life is also meh.  Short Circuit was ok, but it was severely diminshed by the ham-handed environmentalist/pacifist propaganda that seeped out of its very pores.  Wizard of Oz...revolutionary for its time, and a lot of fun to make fun of. ;) 

I've never found a movie that someone doesn't hate.  The problem is so many people will hate a movie for ridiculous reasons, such as "oh, she shouldn't have put her makeup on that way.  It's a stupid movie."  However, I think Princess Bride and Aliens are the closest ones I know of. 

SHREK is one of those movies you don't want to admit to liking because you know it's dumbed down nonce.  But it probably comes the closest to any movie mentioned so far to meeting the criteria of the OOP.

re: The Princess Bride

I used to change the channel whenever this came on cable or TV.  It's not that I hate it, per se, but it's one of those movies that got played so often it just gets on your nerves after a while.  So while I don't hate it I don't exaxtly like it either.

re: Short Circuit

Sorry but I feel all the prints of those 80s era friendly pet robot movies should be put into a very deep pit somewhere in the desert where they used to do atomic testing, have a nuke put on top of them, and then wiped out of existence.   Actually you should probably throw E.T. and the Star Wars prequel trilogy (and all the novels written post the original trilogy, including the excreble cartoon/CGI series) in there too.

But SHREK, yeah, I guess that's okay.  And MONSTERS, INC (I think that's what it was called) wasn't too bad.

Proof that it's Jaws.

With the Christmas gift Ralphie gets this actually makes sense as a 'Demented Bunny' double feature.

...add DONNIE DARKO and TWILIGHT ZONE:the MOVIE and you got an all nighter!

I just watched Twilight Zone the other night and I don't remember a bunny. .

The weird rabbit-thing the guy pulls out of the hat in the same story segment that features Bart Simpson (the woman who voices him at least) being transported into a television cartoon.

I don't like Destroy All Monsters.

Indiana Jones And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark

I have  it.  After much consideration I discovered the answer.  The movie that NOBODY hates is:

Theda Bara's CLEOPATRA!

There's exatly ZERO prints left in existence thus there's no possible way anyone can hate it since no one living has seen it.

I WIN!

Who knew that pretzels can also be used as bras?

fried green tomatos?

I remember when that movie came out it was a chick flick but damn if every single guy i met admitted to liking it, probably because of the bbq scene at the end

(http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/108/thedabara111as2.jpg)

For an old black and white silent feature the costume designs appear to be detailed, interesting, and enigmatic.  Funny how, in the days before sound, filmmakers put so much more effort into achieving artistic visuals.  I doubt you could find a single still in any sciffy original movie that's half as interesting as the ones above!  ;)


P.S.  Not sure if indifference matters but I've never watched FRIED GREEN TOMATOES and, based on the promos I recall of it, probably never will.  So while I may not "hate" it, per se, I don't want to watch it either. 

I hate it.  Sorry.  Never liked Indiana Jones.  At all.

Also, people keep mentioning Tremors and never responding to that.  I love that movie, it's my all time favorite monster flick, outside of Them!

I don't like E.T....sorry.

Yeah! Who could really hate Tremors? :tongueout:

My dad hates the first 3 in your big list, I know for almost certain; Says Shining is too bright to be scary (XD), they ruined Dr. Octopus in Spider Man 2, and 2001 is pointless and boring (Though he liked the first part, when the apes learned to kill).

(EDIT: It turns out daddy also hated The Haunting, couldn't sit through it... :P )

As usual there are haters of To Kill a Mockingbird who say it doesn't do the book justice. Some staunch conservatives seem to hate 12 Angry Men. Many say Citizen Kane is boring (Though it hardly seems a valid argument), and same is the major argument with "Spartacus", though a lot less people seem to really hate it (I guess it kind of qualifies as one that "nobody hates"). Most of my basis for this analysis comes from IMDB, by the way.

Hmm, does anyone have any big beef with A Face in the Crowd?

I don't know about hate, but I don't like it.  The only scene that comes even close to working is the dead woman in the bathtub.  The rest of the movie is an utter bomb.


Hate it.

Doc Ock was in this for, what, five minutes?  The rest of it was Peter Parker: Stressed Individual.  He stressed over his financial situation.  He stressed over his relationship with Mary  Jane.  He stressed over his powers.  He stressed over everything under the sun.  The whole movie felt like a big "f**k you", IMHO, deliberately designed to be unsatisfying.

Hate it.

Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece of long, static shots of spaceship models.  All right, Stanley.  The spaceship models are really freaking cool.  Fine.  Great.  Now point the camera at something -- anything -- else.

Wow. I HAVE to give you karma for hating 2 of my favorite movies of all time-Kubricks the SHINING and 2001. Wow. You,sir,are an
original!  :thumbup:

Gotta agree on the SPIDERMAN flik,though.

As for a film I think everbody likes...but knowing this board...well...AH HA! I would LOVE to hear an against! Those make me pleasantly surprized!

LAWRENCE of ARABIA!!!

I know...it's an Acadamy award winning movie (Hangs head in shame) but  I LOVE IT!

One of my favorite movies... DAVID LEAN's masterpiece of long, static shots of the desert...  :bouncegiggle:  I hated 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY the first time I saw it, but I wasn't yet ready for a "tone poem"  :wink:  Now I love it. 

Metropolis?

Who doesn't love The Right Stuff?

Schindler's List- Personally, I haven't seen it, but everybody I know says how wonderful it is.
Ten Commandments- Haven't heard anyone say they hate it.

I can assure you I know someone who disliked 99% of the films listed so far including Jaws. I married her. She hates most good films. Unless it's a lame comedy or has Julia Roberts in it, she will often declare it to be crap. Thankfully I got multiple TVs, DVD players and a DVR to record get movies and programs to watch when she is either asleep or at work.
So list all the films you want, I can assure you that unless it sucks, odds are she hates it.

2001: A Space Odyssey

Never seen it, but according to MST3K and my Cinema/Society teacher, its bad.

I've got a Julia Roberts movie for her: Closer. Has Jude Law in it too, so you'd think that's a guaranteed chick-flick winner. But this is one damned depressing movie. You end up hating all these people, including Julia. I suppose that makes it "art".

She can't really hate Henry Fonda, can she (12 Angry Men was one of the suggestions)? How about Spencer's Mountain, which was the original movie adaptation of Earl Hamner's stuff before "The Waltons" came out on TV? Doesn't get much more heartwarming than that.

To Kill A Mockingbird...has that been mentioned ?

Not a big fan...the kids creep me out man. 

Actually she liked Closer. She is on her third copy of Steel Magnolias right now. She thinks Julia Roberts can do no wrong when it comes to her talentless acting. She hates 12 Angry Men cause it's "old and boring". I tried to watch it once on TCM and all she did was complain until I changed channels. She also dislikes Spencer's Mountain. Even when I pointed out it was Earl Hamner's stuff she didn't care cause it wasn't "John Boy" that she grew up watching.

The Fly (1986)

Good characters, story, gore.

Great ending, doesn't go on for too long. I like that.

The Warriors :thumbup:

I would hate The Warriors if I wasn't so busy laughing at it. .
