    Million Dollar Baby, I thought it was bad....Also throwing in Skyfall, I love a good Bond movie but that was not a good Bond movie.

    How has no one mentioned Twilight yet?

    I didn't think it was critically acclaimed. If it is, those critics need to lose their jobs...

    Also, any movie with Tom Cruise in it. I don't like movies in general, but Tom Cruise makes me want to punch a baby.

    'Pulp Fiction': saw it and couldn't figure out why so many people raved about it so I went to see it AGAIN (I do try to be open-minded) and still came to the same conclusion. Lame. Have seen several Tarantino flicks and feel that each one is worse than the last. The only one I liked was 'Natural Born Killers' and I think that was written by Tarantino but directed by Oliver Stone.

    IMHO...Tarantino is overrated and uses gratuitous violence for shock value just to get people talking to drum up publicity. Ho hum, how dull. As a viewer, I don't care to be played like that. :yawn:

    Blasphemy!

    When I watched Citizen Kane it was meant to be the best movie ever. Seriously?

    Also, City of Angels (Meg Ryan) was truly dreadful

    I would kill the last baby seal in the world if it meant Tom Cruise never made another movie.

    Avatar was horrible. I saw it only because a friend won free tickets. I still wish I had that time back.

    But they're so damn cute! You can't kill baby seals, even for a cause that great!

    11Oscars? Erm... Yup!

    I laughed all the way through it. Facile, badly scripted, sentimental dross.

    Saving Private Ryan -ditto. Too facile, too many off pat generalisations. Euch!

    L'année Dernière à Marienbad - I slept through our first attempt at watching it and DH slept through our second attempt.

    Chasing Amy - preaching to the converted *yawn*

    I'm terrible at remembering movie titles. The one movie that comes to mind is.....

    Vanilla Sky. Absolutely horrible. But Tom Cruise might have something to do with that!

    I HATE Napoleon Dynamite.
    WHY and HOW can people find it funny or entertaining?

    You're just jealous because I've been chatting online with hot babes all day long.

    :D

    WINNING.

    As for really bad "critically acclaimed" movies... was Bridesmaids critically acclaimed?! Really?

    I happened to be in the room while Avatar was playing & I have to say, it was awful. As a rule I stay away from anything that everybody "just HAS to see", and am proud to say I have not seen, nor will I ever see Titanic, The Hunger Games, any of the Twihard movies and half the movies people have mentioned here. I wish Avatar was on that list still, I was just too lazy to leave.

    "Titanic" (the most recent) & "Gone With The Wind".

    However, I'd rather read.


    I hate hate Titanic but love Gone With the Wind but I laugh through most of it...... I think Scarlet is hilarious and I know she isn't supposed to be.

    the remake of the Dukes of Hazard- shouldn't have messed with a good thing the original was better.
    Tooth Fairy- Duane Johnson aka The Rock doesn't make a good tooth fairy because the tooth fairy should've been a female.
    the remake of Footloose- why mess with an original.


    I will never ever watch the remake of Footloose....ever! Why remake it????

    Also, Little Miss Sunshine. Forgot that one. :-)

    I know there are more, but I try to forget the ones I hate!

    Hunger Games. I mean seriously what the fvck was that shid

    Books were way better than the movie. Made a lot more sense to me.

    cant watch a book in 2 hours can ya, not even if it fits in your vhs. true story.

    I'm really curious as to what movies some of you liked...

    As my own rule of thumb, for movies that are based on books, I try to read the book(s) before I watch the movie.
