Am I the only one here who hated Forrest Gump? That's two hours of my life I wish I had back.

The premise was interesting, but what ruined it for me is that the two main characters were so utterly unlikeable that I didn't give a damn what happened to them.

Class 2. A really bad movie you force yourself to watch because, darn it, you paid for it!

Waterworld

And yes, Jude Law is lower than Yak puke in my book.

He sure gets a lot of women, for a "fayg."

I enjoyed it as well, partly because any thing that shows aliens sticking large blood sucking needles into people while scooping them into the sky makes me jump, but also because of the funny inconsistencies. I actually enjoyed them...

And I did like the scene where everyone is in their backyards looking at the "storm". That always freaks me out.

What about a fourth category: Films you watch on cable because they got such bad reviews when released in theaters.

My nomination: Gigli

I LOVED "Second Hand Lions". Really did. But I do have a soft spot for both Robert Duvall and Michael Caine.

'Gods and Generals' was a miserable experience. The movie just didn't click like 'Gettysburg' did.

Stephen Lang did a very credible job of portraying Stonewall Jackson and should have received an Oscar nomination at the very least.

LOL! I agree.

The great ones are Lamborghinis, the lousy ones fascinating as a 40 car pileup, and the mediocre ones leave you wondering why you just watched that.

I like Forrest Gump. I thought it was clever.

The Harrad Experiment, IIRC. There's a lovely review of it over here.

Boy, you hit that on the head. "Gettysburg" was not half bad, but..."Gods and Generals" was disappointing.

Ugh, I forgot about Nightmare before Christmas!

My wife and I saw Forrest Gump and decided to check out Nightmare, thinking if it was good, we would come back to see it. We left after 15 minutes.I almost asked for my money back even though we didn't pay for it.

You should add Catagory 4--Movies that are so bad that they are fascinating in the same sense that a bad car wreck is fascinating.

Battlefield: Earth

Those last five gratuitous words by a screenwriter clueless about the military instantly makes Caffee guilty of disrespect towards a superior officer (a court martial offense) and lower him to Jessup’s level

I thought that he had said it at only a level only Jessup could hear? Ah well, no matter. The rest of the film was decent, if a bit unrealistic.

..."Gods and Generals" was disappointing.

Was that the one that "Sheets" made a brief appearance in?

Sid and Nancy was great. You probably hated the punk rock scene before you saw the movie.
