Movies everyone else loves but, you hate

Vermin Boy

I couldn't get into Basket Case. From what I had heard, I went in expecting a Peter Jackson-style splatter comedy. It just didn't strike me as terribly funny (though I'd be willing to give it a second chance). I loved Henenlotter's Frankenhooker, though.

Hey,Vermin Boy,what´s your take on the current Grudge Match?:

Neo(from"The Matrix")VS Bugs Bunny

Paquita


Vermin Boy

Gotta go with Bugs... Tough as Keanu & pals are, they can never touch the Mentos-level coolness of the uber-bunny. :)

How about the terminator from T2 v. Daffy Duck.  Both very hard to kill, and Daffy's been shot, blown up, hit with anvils, etc.

I hate splatter comedies--basically, I don't like "horror" films where it's obvious no one is in serious jeopardy.  I don't like Wild Zero either for the same reason.  

I did like Bad Taste, maybe because of the novelty of it at the time.

Johnny, at least you weren't stuck on a plane with this movie. Man, I'm almost always stuck on a plane with a bad movie, especially last time with the Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood. Oh man after 5 minutes I quickly shifted over to listen to the airplane radio

Johnny Blister

Yeah,I know,"Divine Secrets..."is also dreadful.

Legally Blonde.What a dumb piece of s**t!A bimbo accepted in an elitist university?I don´t think so...

Speaking of the Matrix... Not only have I come to loath the dreaded "bullet time" effect, but it's metaphysics is very sloppy.

The movie that fills me with the most dread to even contemplate watching it again is Forrest Gump (which has already been mentioned).  I think the subtle message of the movie is sadastically callous - that to be a success in America you need to be an unquestioning moron that does what he's told.  I remember sitting there and thinking what an evil sack of lies the movie was...

E.T. - While I can appreciate the technical artistry of the original (that reissue never happened, IMHO), it remains an overly manipulative and ultimately pointless exercise in tearjerking to me.  Even my 8 year old son frowns at the thought was sitting through it again.  As far as I am concerned Spielberg hasn't made a technically great film since Raiders of the Lost Ark, though I can appreciate the thrill ride fun of the Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park movies.

Sweet November - I so wanted to put my foot through the screen after getting subjected to maudlin love lessons taught to Keanu Reeves by a self absorbed and not surprisingly terminally ill angelic being.  Pass the barf bag and give me an honest love story, pronto.

There are others, but they are cowering in the debris that litters my cluttered mind.

Not in my book troll, which is just what you are if you choose the childish route of insulting those that do not share your opinion.  My reasons for not liking it as much as everybody else remain unchanged, despite your lengthy and spirited argument in the film's defense.
