i hated a clockwork orange and i will never know why, since i loved the book (minus chapter 21st)
i hated crash, obviously, because it is the worst piece of shit to have ever been produced and it beat brokeback
i hated moulin rouge, passionately
i HATE fucking finding nemo.
i hate gone baby gone.
conversly, i love shitty movies, like juno and other horribly cliched teenage comedies.
The Fountain, by Aronofsky
Waking Life (also, to a lesser degree, Before Sunrise)
His Girl Friday (Because it made me realize that old classical Hollywood is awesome)
Casablanca
Meshes of the Afternoon (Deren)
Water Window Baby Moving (Brakhage)
The Seventh Seal (Bergman)
Adaptation (a lot, but I still fucking detest Nicolas Cage), and to a lesser degree, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Godfather (I and II)
Underworld, Don DeLillo
Oryx and Crake, Margaret Atwood
Momo, Michael Ende (even though there are already animated version, I want a live-action film)
Absalom, Absalom!, William Faulkner
also, a Gabriel Garcia Marquez that doesn’t suck as much as “Love in the times of Cholera” did. (and yes, 100 years would be impossible to make, or get people to watch, but that’s my dream)
you can probably tell by who gets the oscar for best actress, who sucked the most. examples: julia roberts in erin brockovich, reesse witherspoon in walk the line, HALLE BERRY in MONSTERS BALL.
come on guys! all these movies have some merit or another. the original post said “the sweetest thing”… we are talking about crap ass hollywood movies that don’t even entertain us…
my picks are:
ps i love you. it made me want to kill myself.
jennifer’s body. AT LEAST i had hopes for good dialogue. nope. not even the lesbian scene makes up for it.
wanted. jesus christ…
twilight, new moon. the first one was terrible, but not near as horrible piece of shit bile as the second one.
star wars, episode II. i don’t even have to explain this one.

i think THE worst movie to go see on a first date is the perfect romantic comedy, which is before sunrise. if you watch that movie with someone you just start dating, it’s horrible, because no first date can compare to THAT first date. you’ll feel you’re unintelligent, inarticulate, and that you could never like a person as much as those two like each other. DON’T GO SEE GOOD ROMANTIC FILMS… you’ll never be good enough after that. go see a shitty film, or a scary, gross, etc film… at least you can talk about how much it sucked/grossed you out.
tyler, i dont care if she sucks or not, she’s hot. but i guess from the 90s i could think of wynona or jennifer connely. but julia stiles in 10 things i hate about you? = winner.
