"Amazing" movies that you hate...

A spin-off of Sarah's poll...

What are some of the movies that everyone else loves (or are critically acclaimed, "best movie of all time" material) that you absolutely hate?

Re: "Amazing" movies that you hate...

  • Not really answering your question, but kind of answering the question.

    My DH LOVES (and I mean like LOVES) 'The Replacements' - ugh - I can't stand that movie.

    I also cannot get into Matt Daman movies, sorry Bourne Identity.

  • For me, the first that comes to mind is Star Wars. All of them.
  • Any of the Star Wars, Rocky, Godfather movies. Also, Bambi, I tried watching that Monday with Alex, and got bored within minutes.

    OMG, yessss. Rocky. DH loves those movies (as do a lot of people) and I hate them. Haaaate. Sylvester Stallone is the worst.

  • Slumdog Millionaire. We got it on netflix after it won all those awards and I had to get up and leave the room.

  • I have a LOT of them! Lord of the Rings, Godfather, Harry Potter (movies- I like the books), Bourne Identity.  Also there are a lot of the classic 80s that I can't get behind: The Goonies, Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, Say Anything...

  • I hated American Beauty.  And I recently noticed that DH put that in our Netflix queue.

  • Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Twilight, mostly all the sequel movies that everyone loves. One of DH's favorite movies is Castaway and I hate it. It is so long and boring. I am sure there are a ton of other ones too, I just can't think of them right now. 
  • Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Napoleon Dynamite are just a few.

    These.

    The Piano...I had to watch that for a film class in college and just did not understand why it was so great.

    Anniversary
  • Forrest Gump.  I can't stand it.

  • A Clockwork Orange.  HATED it, despite multiple attempts to "get" it (or even simply be entertained by it.)

    I've always been "meh" about Pulp Fiction despite its huge fan base.  

    I used to hate Star Wars until I took an elective based on the mythology and such of the books and films, and now I love the movies and have a huge appreciation for them.

    Married in 2008 - DD born in 2010 - EDD 6.15.2012!

    All of these!

    Oh...The Hangover. DH and I thought it completely sucked, didn't laugh once...yet everyone I know said it was hilarious.

  • Hangover, Star Wars, LOTR... and anything that uses sex, nudity, profanity to get laughs (and it wasn't necessary to have in the movie/didn't add to the quality).
  • imageEmmaBrooke:
    Forrest Gump.  I can't stand it.

    Ok now, THIS is a shocking one to me. I can practically quote the whole movie. :) 

  • I am not much of a movie person at all so I know there are tons.  The first that come to mind are Star Wars, Harry Potter, Twilight, Bad Santa, and Due Date.

    I'm not sure if the last  2 in my list are considered amazing, but my DH loves them and I hate them.

  • Old School.  I thought it was ok, but my friends went nuts for it - said it was like the best movie of all time.

    Also, Superbad.  H and I rented it on satellite, and actually didn't even finish it.

     I hate pretty much all of Will Ferrell's movies.  Old School, Elf, Ricky Bobby, the news anchor one, etc.  Really, with the exception of Ace Ventura, I'm really not into most of the slapstick character movies of any actor, but Will Ferrell particularly bugs me.

  • Titanic and The Notebook. I hadn't read any Nicholas Sparks or seen any movies until a year or so ago, finally read The Notebook and loved it, so thought I'd watch the movie everyone said was their favorite and hated it! Boring! Titanic was so loooong and I have no patience for sitting still for that long!
  • You guys have reminded me of some I hate.

    Ricky Bobby (and most Will Farrel), Napolean Dynamite, I can handle in small amounts Sach Galifianakis - like in Due Date, enjoyed the first 3/4 of the movie then was just done. 

  • Oh yeah, Napolean Dynamite. Can't stand that movie, H think it's hilarious. Ugh!

    Anything with Ben Stiller. I hated the Focker movies the most though.
