inspired by this exchange I had with Rev. Powell on Facebook

All the ROCKY films.

[claws]

Just don't let RC know about your Wizard of Oz hatred ... again 

[Ted C]

Napoleon Dynamite

The Jerk

I did not find either one funny; they were just boring.

[Rev. Powell]

I don't hate THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION but I'm like "so what?" I do know a couple of people with similar opinions.

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'm with Indy on the ROCKY series. The first one was overrated and the sequels were bad, except for introducing us to that classic 80s icon Mr. T!

I've never been able to sit through IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

A SEPARATION won an Academy Award. I watched it and have no idea what the plot was. Totally forgettable.

I don't hate Night of the Hunter.......I just found it incredibly boring and predictable

sorry Rev

why is facebook stuff being brought here?

Definitely E.T.

[FatFreddysCat]

I can't stand Wizard of Oz, mostly because it brings back bad memories of my being cast as the Cowardly Lion in our fifth grade stage production of it. To this day, if I hear "Over The Rainbow" I cringe like I've been shot.

I have never understood why the Sleepaway Camp series gets so much love from horror film fans. They're not even "entertaining" kind of bad, they're just bad.

I don't get the whoop-dee-doo over the Lord Of The Rings saga. I watched the first film, thought it was impressive enough on a technical level but otherwise was like "(shrugs) Whatever."

I have to agree on E.T.

I sat there watching it in the theater. Parents and kids everywhere.

E.T. is dying. Yeah, spoilers for a movie older and more referenced than The Bible. Anyway. E.T. is dying. Him and the kid have their meaningful moment, and, in the greatest Disney-like tradition, the alien Shar-Pei stops glowing, dead.

Well, the adults were all bawling their eyes out. I'm looking at these easily manipulated people in shock.

Then, a couple of rows in front of me, a kid, whose mom was practically wailing in grief, pokes her and, in a rather loud voice, says, "He's dead. Can we go home now?"

That sums up my feelings about E.T.

John Wick - a generic hollywood shoot 'em up. no story, no substance, no acting. its just a glock commercial and head shots, lots of head shots.

The fast and the furious - only profanity would express my hate for this film and its sequels.

The Marine - horrible and stoopid.

Happy feet - ARRRRRGHHH!!!!

I absolutely loved the first GODFATHER but I thought the second was underwhelming. Actually, I wasn't crazy about GOODFELLAS either, outside of Pesci's classic scene.

[zombie no.one]

maybe I should watch them again. I dont think my taste in movies (or basically anything) has changed that much since then though tbh.

for what its worth I was very underwhelmed by Shawshank as well!

Just looking at the top 250 IMDB-List I just realized another one...Spirited Away.
Not that I'm not fond of Anime in General...I actually really like it.
And it's not a hate of Ghibli Studios either...love some of their movies.
It's kinda hard to describe, but it is just too much for me.
I love the animation style of the 80s/early 90s...a little bit "cheap", a little bit gritty or dirty even.
Spirited Away is just too polished for me.
