movies everyone likes but you

[messedup]

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."

Don't worry...it is incredibly boring. Probably the most boring film not directed by Terrence Malick.
Oh yeah...Terrence Malick probably fits the topic. Many people like his films, but I can't stand them...well maybe I like Thin Red Line a little bit.

Good Will Hunting

Brazil (I don't hate it, per se, but I wasn't nearly as impressed with it as I thought I'd be)

Winter's Bone

I'll add Max Payne to the list.  I know it has a lot of detractors, but almost everyone I talked to personally loved it.  As a fan of the original games, I hated every minute of this movie.  Its style only kinda matched the game's vibe, and it just wasn't John Woo enough to qualify as a heartfelt Max Payne film.

STAR WARS movies
LORD OF THE RINGS s**t.
ROCKY movies.
LETHAL WEAPON movies.
Harry Potter nonsense.

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.

Agree on most of this, BELA, except ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is fun, but I've had enough of it, I do enjoy hating TITANIC, liked the first LOTR and the first HARRY POTTER (hate all the rest) and hate all the rest of your list with you, and LOVE THE WIZARD OF OZ too !!!

most FRIDAY THE 13TH movies-the only ones I really liked were 2,3 and JASON GOES TO HELL (which everyone hates.)

3 is good because its cheesy as heck, has a crappy biker gang that look camper than camp crystal itself, and has ultra corny 3D fx, and a funky disco theme.

I also love part 8, dunno why but I find it way more fun than the others.

the rest I can happily live without. and yeah I really hated JASON GOES TO HELL. so boring!

[zombie no.one]

here's one


NEAR DARK (1987)

never heard a word said against this movie, thought it was dull...

[Ticonderoga 64]

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

This.

And every Elvis Presley movie ever made.

[ER]

the force awakens

[Chainsawmidget]

I'm with you on Near Dark.  I picked it up because I heard it was a classic, bust feels kinda .. there. 

As for Rocky Horror Picture Show, I love it as a movie, I cannot STAND it as an "experience". 

[indianasmith]

GANGS OF NEW YORK.  Gads, what a painful experience!

[Trevor]

[Ted C]

Napoleon Dynamite

So painfully boring.

[Svengoolie 3]

Indiana Jones and the temple of doom. I honestly think it was trash.

[Chainsawmidget]

Napoleon Dynamite

So painfully boring.

Annoying is more the word I would use.
