    Twilight.

    I would have rather been kicked in the nuts a thousand times.

    I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes before I wanted to climb a watchtower & open fire on some teenagers...

    I laughed so hard I about spewed coffee out my nose!! Thanks for making my day!!

    I always try to take it for what it is supposed to be entertainment, I try not to take movie watching so seriously.

    But if it's supposed to entertain and it doesn't, then what? I like movies and books that entertain me. I don't like the ones that don't.

    And just because the masses love something doesn't make it good.

    Maybe not to you or me but a lot of people enjoy these movies/books. Just my opinion.
    If something doesn't entertain me I just don't watch it or read it again. I usually will finish a book or movie because sometimes there are just parts that are bad, other times the whole thing is bad. Anyway these are just my thoughts.
    Someone should start a topic on movies everyone Likes/Loves!

    The Transporter - I actually was heckling that movie in the theater.
    Trainspotting - That toilet part is the scariest thing I've ever seen in a movie
    The Patriot - Ugh who writes this crap!
    Starship Troopers - The whole premise of the movie is daft. Supposedly the book is so much better but I haven't read it yet.

    Well, since you're so offended that people might dislike a movie or book and actually express an opinion about it, perhaps you should start that topic ...

    And I have to say that most of the people I know who enjoyed Twilight don't actually think it was good.

    Titanic, Twilight, EVERY Romantic movie!! Except The African Queen.

    My favorite romantic movie is The Crow. Butt kicking & Bloodletting. I don't care how bad Immortals was its still better than every romantic movie out there.

    I guess it takes a type. Gimme sci fi and action, adventure and fantasy (Just say NO to the Eragon movies.. thats a lousy rip off of Dragonriders of Pern), old samurai flicks in black & white just no lovey dovey stuff...

    Some commendable listings here....but by far the worst, most pretentious, "artsy" movie that was nominated for every major awards show.... TREE OF LIFE. Awful! Walked by the same theatre a week after I saw it and they had a sign out front " No refunds for Tree of Life" no other movies....just that god awful acid trip.

    Bridesmaids - terrible movie. I think I laughed once. Not sure why people liked it so much. And, to be fair, I usually love those types of movies.
    Twilight - ugh

    NYPOLIAN DYNAMITE (WORST WORST WORST EVERRRRR)
    Beastly (by far..... no words can explain the stupidity)
    The Godfather (all volumes)--( please dont hate, i just cant get into it, maybe one day though)

    Ditto to both of these.

    Also, was weirdly disappointed in The Hunger Games. Seemed right up alley with the dystopian-ness but somehow the movie just lost it for me towards the end.

    500 Days of Summer is one all my friends like, it just makes me angry.

    All Will Ferrell movies, Napolean Dynamite... the "stupid humor" movies just don't do anything for me.

    Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - as a comic book-style geek, I was supposed to like this and just thought it was the most unentertaining waste of my life, ever.

    Just bc you don't like it doesn't mean its not good. I agree with a lot of choices (twilight esp), but guess what just bc it doesn't entertain you (or us, the majority at this site it seems) does not mean it didn't entertain the teenagers that it was created for.

    Well, I haven't even seen about 90% of the movies named in this thread. Does that mean I just know better? lol

    And I saw the first two Twilights and The Hunger Games because other people dragged me not because I wanted to.

    I do love Grease, though. I never realized there were people who didn't! :-)

    Kill Bill (I like movies with strong female leads but these movies I just... bleh)

    Phantom of the Opera, the 2004 musical version with Gerard Butler. (very big fan of Phantom of the Opera in all its forms, but Webber did a p*ss poor job with casting and basically turned a very dark mystery and story of obsession into a Harlequin Romance novel)

    Juno (not funny)

    Napoleon Dynamite (exactly what was going on?)

    Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

    The Warrior's Way (not a popular movie but this is a movie I abhor. I'm very big into Samurai and their Way of The Sword/Bushido followings and I also know a lot about Shinobi/Ninjas and this movie butchered both then threw everything into the stereotyped Wild West with the last 10 minutes being a fight scene. The rest? Needless garbage and sob stories)

    And on another note here's two popular movies I love that everyone else seems to hate or just miss the message:

    Black Swan (yes yes I know we had that controversial lesbian scene and Natalie Portman turning into a psycho slut, but to me the whole film was symbolism of balancing the good and evil inside you or, in this case, the White Swan and Black Swan and a pinch of what it feels like to grow up and "free yourself". Plus the soundtrack was gorgeous, I have the final scene's song as my ringtone)

    Suckerpunch (again one of those metaphorical movies that twists perspectives at the end but people were expecting tons of short-skirted teens/twenty-somethings shooting guns the whole time. I could sit here and review the whole movie just to point out symbolism but bottom line is, it was a very moving movie with great action scenes and an equally great soundtrack)

    Hunger Games. I loved the books and was really excited about the movie. It was incredibly boring and I didn't have any connection to the characters.

    Napoleon Dynamite - I just couldn't stand it.

    Black Swan - Really, really didn't like this until like the last 10 minutes.

    Contagion - So incredibly boring

    I have to minorly disagree only because I think films who throw away any solid plot just to have an hour and a half of sex jokes, fart jokes, poor slapstick, and general randomness aren't good whether I watch them or not. To me those feed off teenagers and college students with the sense of humor of a 13 year old boy finding boobs on the internet for the first time or the people that leech around on the cesspool site that is 4chan. But, again that is my opinion and others are bound to say they disagree with it and that's fine. That aside yes you are right, just because you don't like something or abhor it doesn't mean it's automatic trash.
