Chariots of Fire
Totally boring. It won all the awards in 1981 but no one talks about it today.
Lawrence of Arabia wins hands down...I actually found it so boring that I left the theater .
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.
There’s so many but “field of dreams” comes to mind.
The Perfect Storm.
It says that it’s based on a true story, but then NOBODY lives. it can’t be based on a true story; there was no one left to tell it.
Titanic - never once did the movie convince me that a young woman engaged to a rich fiancé is going to throw all of that away for a fling with a bum.
Miracle on 34th Street - Argggghhhhhh!
Terms of Endearment - No character development, we are confronted immediately with this young woman’s cancer diagnosis. Then there are half-hearted attempts to develop some depth to the characters which are derailed by the fact that we are supposed to be mourning the fact that this young woman is dying of cancer. We do find out that she’s going to leave her kids motherless, information no doubt intended to invoke uncontrollable sobs from the audience. Oh, and did I mention that the main female protagonist is dying of cancer? I don’t know how I managed to sit through the whole thing, but I did get up about every ten or fifteen minutes to let my husband know, “She’s still dying!”
Amadeus - Couldn’t get through 20 minutes of it.
Then rent ‘A Night to Remember’ 1958
No sex drugs or filthy language..just the horrifying facts.
Rated as one of the best Titanic films ever made.
Cloud Atlas . They spent a lot making it and the critics loved it. I thought it was stupid. Especially the part where men are fighting and dying so a moron can broadcast a sappy speech . It droned on as if the speech was importing some profound secrets the state was trying to hide.
Anything by Terrance Malick. People go gaga over some of Kubrick’s movies and I never got that. 2001 is the best cure for insomnia I’ve ever found.
Recent movies, Wonder Woman was a crushing bore. Pretty much anything that is nominated for an academy award these days is God awful tripe.
Chariots of Fire
Room with a View
The English Patient
Titanic
Independence Day - dumbest movie ever
Hudson Hawk. How can you not like Bruce Willis & Danny Aiello?
Brian’s Song
Love Story.
Hate them both and all who acted in them yet I have seen both at least 10 times each.
How so you may ask.
Because I was forced (FORCED) to watch each movie, on multiple occasions starting in Junior High and then High School. For what reason I was never told.
My personal impression was the hope my balls would rot and fall off.
Star Wars.
All of ‘em.
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Never liked Pulp Fiction. Never liked any & all Star Wars films. Never liked most of the newer James Bond flicks....though the Sean Connery ones are watchable. Can’t stand most of these Iron Man & Superman & Batman movies...total nonsense.
Broke Back Mountain.
Didn’t see it but am sure as hell that I don’t like it.
Casablanca
I saw a bumper sticker around the time that Titanic was popular:
