The first that comes to mind for me: "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial". Sappy and overly sentimental.
(And while I'm at it, "Titanic")
American Beauty
Django Unchained
Pulp Fiction except the dance scene
Inglorious Bastards Tarantino version
To Kill A Mockingbird....now but liked it when young and stupider
Midnight Cowboy.....
Platoon
Pleasantville
12 years a slave
Star Wars in any form.....maybe the first one was ok
Moonlight
Most but not all Woody Allen
Any movie by Ethan and Joel Cohen is worth watching
That British chick too
Bring me the head of ....something Garcia.....only Peckinpah I disliked
I dont like Rat Pack movies and detest Jerry Lewis
I like Spielbergs technique usually but not his movies as a rule
His smarmy crap seeps in
I’ll tell you since say mid 90s I only watch a half dozen new releases a year
I liked tha Texas bank robbers brothers movie last year...
And the Nikki Lauda movie...
Hollywood survives off pc cartoons and carton action figure movies
Then spend the rest to brainwash us with Christ bashing traditional America hating homo loving drivel
And they don’t care if it’s profitable if they can afford it
None of these liberal anti war flicks during Bush did well except that Clooney gold robbery movie
And they didn’t make any during Obama
Now Spielberg is back at it targeting that Katherine Graham flick with Streep at Trump who’s “worse than Nixon”
I saw an interview....God he is so self righteous and assumes decent folks share his change the world messianic viewpoint
Only traditional thing he admires is the US Army if it’s killing Nazis
Nazis are his monster under the bed
Next is Free Willy. NO! it is NOT ok to steal a whale.
Debbie does Dallas....so much 70’s bush I thought I was in the Sears garden section.

You win the thread.
Star Wars with its repetitive storyline and characters. Ack.
Avatar. Ugh.
John Travolta did a good job with A Civil Action, so I don’t completely agree with that.
I’m not real fond of Sound of Music, my wife’s fav I tape it ever year for her and put on my ear plugs.
Chariots of Fire
Totally boring. It won all the awards in 1981 but no one talks about it today.
End of discussion.
Sorry, but I never “got” Mel Brooks. I just looked up his entire oeuvres, can’t find anything I saw and loved.
For lowbrow jokes and gags strung together, I’ll take Airplane and Naked Gun.
Lawrence of Arabia wins hands down...I actually found it so boring that I left the theater .
Hated The Big Chill too.
Star Wars.
I did watch it about 10 years after it was released, but even then I didn’t get all of the hype about it.
I agree with everything you posted with one exception.
I loved the first two Star Wars movies.
Now I haven’t seen Django Unchained but just read a synopsis and it clearly is going to be one of those idiotic movies which so many people think are realistic.
Yeah, I didn’t like Blazing Saddles either.
Gandhi ... the snooze fest of the century.
