A few days ago I watched the 2015 movie, "Steve Jobs" on the Tube. One word description: BORING!!! Despite great material to work with, it was one big borefest. Aaron Sorkin's scipt was largely to blame. It didn't feel like real people involved talking. It came off as a platform for SorkinSpeak. You can always tell a movie he has written. It has his peculiar SorkinSpeak which consists of rapid fire chit chat signifying nothing.
Okay, that is my idea of the most boring movie that I have ever seen. What is yours? Remember, this doesn't mean WORST movie, only most BORING movie.
Dances with wolves comes to mind. Sorry excuse for a Western.
Add To Kill A Mockingbird as a great movie translation of a great book.
THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD (I fell asleep in this one for a few minutes)
FELLINI SATYRICON (Dubbed in English it was terrible. Only film I ever walked out on. Later, saw it in Italian, it was much better).
EQUINOX (A supposed SI-FI horror film looked like it was made by high school students)
A MAN AND A WOMAN ( dubbed in English it was still D-U-L-L)
MODESTY BLASE ( A decent film if cut to 90 minutes but N-O-O-! IT went on and on and on for a full two hours!
FIREWALKER (I haven’t watched a Chuck Norris film since. Again, a 90 minute film padded with detritus for two full hours!)
CALIGULA X rated version. So bad I fast forwarded through most of it. again MOST of it!
An M. Night Shamalamadingdong Masterpieceofcrap.
Out of Africa
Does that include “Somewhere in Time”
with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour?
Dances With Wolves was dreadful.
I wanted to drawl myself a warm bath, pour a glass of wine, turn the lights down, light a candle....then slit my freaking wrist. Painful to watch.
I rarely watch movies because the overwhelming majority of them are stupid beyond words. A few years ago I got talked into watching Million Dollar Baby (I think that’s what it was called).
It confirmed to me that NOT watching movies was the way to go. I will never get those couple of hours back. I was not tired at the end of it, I was livid.
What the hell is your problem?
Who is laughing?
I haven't been a "boy" in 70 years and I am not a monkey!
Quit drinking and posting
I had thankfully forgotten about “Dances With Wolves”. It definitely needs to be up there with the worst ever. Also the stupidest.
I never could get through “Dune” (the movie) All I think of is sand. Seriously.
Modifying my comments, thanks to your post.
Any chick flick.
Any musical.
Agreed, I kept asking wife when does it get scary ? It never did...
The ending was some kid peeing in a corner of the basement ???
Seriously ?
Anything with Jane “Commie” Fonda, including Cat Ballou.

Singin in the Rain is a very funny musical and a great movie.
The English Patient 1992
Dr Zhivago was boring to a 17 yr old HS student.
Had we not been double dating my girlfriend and
I would have had some serious make out time. Later,
as an adult with a degree history I learned to appreciate
the movie.
