What movie do you hate that everyone else loved?

The first that comes to mind for me: "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial". Sappy and overly sentimental.

(And while I'm at it, "Titanic")

Titanic
Having grown up watching the black and white version of the movie, I was in no mood to watch the sexcapades of the socialite woman and the steerage class man. The way the movie just “does away with” all that social structure so he can paint her naked.

I love Blazing Saddles more every time I see it-it is really funny, along with Airplane and the other non-PC comedies that nobody dares to make anymore-moviemakers have lost the ability to laugh at themselves...

The English Patient. I tried to watch it; but bailed about a half hour in. I think Seinfeld did an episode about Elaine hating The English Patient, while everyone around her loved it.

It’s a lot better if you go with toast, and know what to do with it.

American Beauty. Leftists could not sing it's praises enough!

So true. I was newly married living in London when my husband and I met an older American couple who recommended that movie. They couldn't say enough good things about that it. I knew from that start that this couple were huge lefties. It made sense why they couldn't understand why I was so homesick for America.

When a friend described the storyline of American Beauty, I knew immediately, that I would never purposely watch that film, ever. It sounded very sick and with heaping amounts of gratuitous violence. For the same reasons, I never watched Dexter. I thought such a TV series would normalize the wrong things in our culture, especially with young people.

Also ‘The Piano’. Probably the most violent movie I have ever seen. Cutting the fingers off of a piano player is disgusting. I have a liberal friend who embraces bu**sh** intellectualism, and said this film was “affirming”. What total moronic bs. Morality, and life, aren't nearly as nuanced and complex as the morons in Hollywood like to think, and this movie just drips the “we understand the complexity of life and the failures of your simplistic world view’ Hollywood point of view.

Bridesmaids.
I suffered through it because I love my wife, but it was still like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I had no idea what it was really about but I did wonder why there was a sign in the box office window that said “NO REFUNDS FOR CRUISING”.
