Titanic (’nuff said)
Red Dragon (come on, no where near as good as Manhunter)
Expelled (that wacky movie about intelligent design with the wacky Ben Stein)
I’m happy that I have finally read someone that agrees batman begins was better than the dark knight.
In Bruges
I’m going back farther then the rest of you here. That’s because the one movie – and I mean TO THIS DAY – that I still hate and everybody thought it was great back then is “Flashdance”. The only other one is “Animal House”. not that I hated “Animal House”, I just don’t think it’s the comedy classic everybody likes to think it is………
Ran is another one. I just dislike the film, and I really seem to be the only one that doesn’t think it’s a masterpiece.
@Liz: “There’s something about the way that film is structured with constant shit happening all the time that seems completely crass and commercial.”
Haha, wow. What an ironic statement.
But glad to meet people who dislike Amarcord. The more I meet, the more comfortable I am with my opinion on it. Sure I could not care what anybody thinks, but you gotta step delicately when dealing with perceived “classics”.

Slumdog Millionaire
Bowling for Columbine was lazy and hypocritical and facile, the documentary as an exercise in pandering.
It wasn’t even good propaganda.
Syriana was a cringe-inducing, too-long episode of free association and conspiracy fetish. It is to politics as Nine and 1/2 Weeks is to sex.
Fried Green Tomatoes was dreadful. It portrayed the South in much the same way that jumping up and down portrays flight.
Yes, this was done some time ago, but movies come out all the time and new people join. So, now I’d have to agree with previous posters about Juno. Awful, awful film.
Titanic I agree with: what’s the mystery? Not to mention just plain bad and unnecessary.
Gone With The Wind: I don’t care what my colleagues say, this film is a plodding bag of gas.
Kill Bill v. 2: part one was fun, but the second half was a waste. Tarantino disappointed me with this tripe.
It’s A Wonderful Life: Holy hell, bite me! I hate this holiday favorite that isn’t even a Christmas movie.
The English Patient: “Just DIE already!”
Fight Club.
Blech.
I thought children of men was very impressive.
And dear god FIGHT CLUB. People need to stop calling it the best movie ever made.

LE FEU FOLLET i think if u watch TWBB again it you will (possibly) feel differently about it, especially you being a fan of PTA’s previous works. i am still curious what it was about his other films u thought there will be blood was lacking?
Twilight.. Don’t even get me started.
Cashback. Friends and people from my neighborhood said many wonderful things about this one, but I just think is another boring, corny slapstick comedy.
Oh, and (I could get flack for this…) The Big Lebowski.
On a similar note, Napoleon Dynamite. Both films are absolutely plotless.
300, Pan’s Labyrinth, Slumdog
The Dark Knight, I fell alseep the second time.
slumdog millionaire and juno.
My friends aren’t cinephiles, and I hate most of the movies they enjoy. Most recently, TWILIGHT. Just, ugh.
Drumroll please…

Hang me now. That or Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull load of vomit. This is only a handful of friends, no hate for those with GOOD taste in film haha.
John Woo movies. Particularly Hard Boiled and The Killer. Never could understand what they saw in them.
John Woo Hollywood movies, i could never understand the appeal of Face / Off, Broken Arrow or especially Mission Impossible II….y’all never believe how many fans these types of films have in Greece!!!

The Day the Earth Stood Still, the remake.
Watchmen
Any other world-disaster movie involving a guy and girl who are (kind of) in love (or eventually fall for each other and/or any of it’s variations) and eventually save the world
