TopBilled Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 For me, it's usually anything that Oliver Stone directs. When I was in film school, he was the director everyone seemed to admire. I just felt he was overrated, and I resented the fact that even his most mediocre efforts were regarded as masterpieces. The one consolation I have now is that many of his films do not hold up as well as people back then thought they would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loathed and despised Sound of Music...........and anything with the non-actor Jim Carrey in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelenBaby2 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Casablanca-in fact with a couple of exemptions most Bogart films Most Tracy-Hepburn match ups-like them separately but not together Bringing Up Bany-so, so stupid and annoying It Happened One Night-like the actors but just don't find this very funny Carole Lombard's so called comedies But my most hated film of all time is When Harry Met Sally-I can watch the above mentioned films and actors but none of them make me want to punch something like this movie. I loathe it with every fiber of my being. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gorman Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 A few posts below TopBilled mentioned OLIVER STONE and the only 3 movies I've ever watched directed by him were: SEIZURE (1974), THE HAND (1981) and THE DOORS (1991). I might watch BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY (1989) some time, but I've zero interest in watching JFK, NIXON or any other Oliver Stone flick. I liked "Seizure" and "The Hand" well enough to watch again, but "The Doors" got to be tiresome. I didn't hate "The Doors", but it seemed to drag on and on . . . SEIZURE is fairly weird and probably a lot less pretentious than Oliver's later historical fiction movies. Starred Jonathan Frid, I might add. -------------------------------------------- There are those who very much like THE USUAL SUSPECTS (1995) and KILL BILL, Vol. 1 (2004). I am not among them. Ugh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiatone Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yeah, most of us could disagree with many of the choices made here, but then, THEY could disagree with many of OURS. MY choices would be..... VERTIGO THE ENGLISH PATIENT Any TWILIGHT pic THE SOUND OF MUSIC THE GREAT GATSBY ( Redford) THE WAY WE WERE CHICAGO Any TRANSFORMER swill BULL DURHAM FAME DR. DOOLITTLE( either one) THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE( I had NO problem sleeping through THIS one!)

PattiTexas Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 A Clockwork Orange is the worst movie I ever saw BUT I actually enjoyed many that some of you listed that you dislike. My husband loves the movie Bullet and I can't stand it. We all have different taste, if we liked the same things, this would be a boring world. I had to edit this post to add another movie I disliked. Cast Away. Tom Hanks was stranded on an island after his plane crashes in the South Pacific. He talks to that ball for most of the movie. Epic Fail IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will usually give a film a second chance, but not this one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Fail IMO. Cast Away - and then dumped his wife after falling in love with a basketball and finding someone else..........tripe movie, I agree. Amusing anecdote about A Clockwork Orange, bear with me if you will. The year is 1971 or 1972, and I'm still a scaredy-cat little RCC girl, even though I'm in a public college. I'm in a film class, and loving it, and the professor wanted us to see the first run of ACO in a theater in lower Manhattan. Well, I talked myself out of it, as I did out of a play I should have gone to see whose title I can't even type here the auto censor would delete it all, and regretted it for years and years to come. Finally, I bought the tape, watched it, .......................... and hated it. Mind you, I adore Warren Clarke in Dalziel and Pascoe and sorely regret his dying about which no one else seems to care, but his movie was m.................e...............r...........d............e. Ugly, ugly little movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skimpole Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I wouldn't say 8 1/2, L'Atalante or Metropolis are bad films, but they do little for me. Amarcord, however, is clearly a movie I don't care for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
