Ok so, I wanted to turn Sonics question around. We are not talking just something that was bad to you. We are talking movie someone would have to offer you money to watch and even then, you might reject it.

so I will start, I know some of you will disagree with my first choice...

Napoleon Dynomite - I dont see what some see in this movie, it was painful, dumb and boring.

The Cat in the Hat - and you dont know how much it pains me to say that

Return to Oz - yuck and yikes

Neverending Story 2 - disgrace to the name

This is the most I can think of right now....although for you 30+ somethings I would like to share this with you...it is just too much...I mean too much...click the Preview button on the page...I beleive you have to have windows media player...and be patient there is a short commercial before the "main event"

It is a trailer of a movie I forgot existed and it is a blast into 80's cheesiness if there ever was one....

TMNT move over...make way for the Garbage Pail Kids Movie

Haha, this is easier than narrowing down the movies I love.

Wrongfully Accused

Starship Troopers

8MM - It wasn't like, a badly done movie, it's just something no one should ever watch. I was 16 when I saw it, and I really wish they would have carded me at the theater.

hmmmmm......

Shakespeare In Love: Makes me vomit

Gone Fishin': Saw it for free, and felt like I was ripped off

Anything with Reese Witherspoon: Seriously, try playing a different character, just once.

Dead Ringers - it was one of those movies that you sit there and you know it's got to get better, then sit there in horror as it doesn't.

I'm probably the one person who thinks this, but Casino. God that movie was terrible it makes me want to weep just thinking about sitting through it again. That was, incidentally, the last time robby was allowed to pick the movie.

Honey. I normally love movies that are centered around dancing, bad or not. But there was just something about Honey irked the living shit outta me.

Dawn of the Dead, need I say more? :'(

The Piano. I've hardly ever seen anything so hamhandedly "symbolic" or so freaking smug about it. Almost walked out, and I never do that. Then when the last idiotic symbolic slam came I wished I had. Then when the child actress took Best Supporting for hyperventilation, it almost went me dark in the eyeballs. :angry:

But I really liked Shakespeare in Love

There are just SOOO many...

Dirty Dancing
Shakespeare in Love
Titanic
Pearl Harbour
Maid in Manhattan
Sorority Boys
Dick
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
That Thing You Do
Cast Away
Forrest Gump
ET
The Star Wars movies that I have seen
Thirteen
Fast & the Furious
Anything with Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen
Bicentennial Man


I'll have to add more later.

Anything with Jean-Claude Van Damme

Battlefield Earth

And you'd have to pay me to see any really gory and/or scary movie, because they're just not my thing.


I dunno...there aren't many movies I won't watch, unless they're scary, gory, or just horribly cheesy...and there are even some of those that I'll watch. :rolleyes:

2 Fast 2 Furious (Even a dumb name)

The Bumblebee Flies Anyway

Danny Deckchair

Harrison's Flowers (except the parts with Adrien Brody)

Dirty Dancing :wacko:

Cocktail

Bully

Matrix Reloaded

batman Returns-I love Batman pobably more than I even realise but it was a travesty especially with so much talent on offer
Also
Titanic-pure rubbish
Wimbledon
matrix sequals
TBC

I rather liked Batman Returns :unsure: ... It's the next two sequels that were travesties.

The two Star-Wars prequels. Horrid. Am expecting to have to add "Revenge of the Sith" to this list. <_<

I thought of some others-

The Talented Mr. Ripley
Good Will Hunting
The Godfather
The Deer Hunter
The Man in the Iron Mask
The Mission

Wow athena, thats a pretty long list. You really feel that way about all those movies!

I could sit up all night and make this list.
The first movie I remember thinking "I will never watch this again," was Deliverance. I don't think it was badly made. I just didn't like how it made me feel.

Anything whatsoever starring Jim Carey.
I think the only way to shorten the list is to agree with mercurystar about anything scary or gory and add anything so stupid that it's not funny. <_< Not fond of melodrama either.

So, yeah. I just realized that I'm not a big movie fan.

Anything with Chuck Norris

Ah but he appeared in Dodgeball...so I cant say that!! Plus I really liked that one Karate movie he was in with Jonathan Brandis!! Otherwise I would agree with you!

woopsie-sorry meant Batman Forever - yeah I loved the 1st two too
Flashfire
The Cable Guy
Liar Liar

Suddenly thirty. The story of a girl of thirteen who wakes up as a woman of thirty. Sleaze personified, I thought. Even the trailer was a turn off.

And I agree with timetraveller about Deliverance. It is fascinatingly gruesome in its awfulness. And I also agree with Mercurystarsdad about Chuck Norris, most definitely, and all Chuck Norris' ilk. Especially late at night, with a looming day at work less than eight hours away.

The mere notion of Brigid Jones' diary leaves me feeling depressed, and there are a whole raft of films you would need wild horses before I'd look at them once before seeing them again. EG Soylent Green with Charlton Heston. And including Operation Crossbow, which was the curmudgeonly choice whenever we had elections or a schmaltz-free Christmas eve. And I certainly would rather not see again Jimmy Stewart, in It's a wonderful life, in which the heroine narrowly avoids a fate worse than death, i.e. becoming a librarian.! :o

I'll say this for workmates: for Maori dignity, we all agree we prefer Whalerider to Once were warriors.

Anything with Madonna.
Point Break
Forest Gump
Matrix 3
Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over

I'd have to agree about the Matrix sequels, although I loved the first one and saw it six times.
I will not go to see the new Lemony Snickett film again, though there are many things I'd like to look at more closely. I loved almost every aspect of it, in fact, but I can't stand Jim Carrey.
They tried making "Dune" back in the early 80's I think. Sting was in it. It stank on ice.

I'm with Timetraveller on anything with Jim Carey, no man has agiatated my grapes more than that... there are no words that can sum up his utter objectionability. But... Athena? The Godfather? really? It's an absolute masterpiece. likewise The Deerhunter and The Mission. And I liked Starship Troopers, just wished I'd seen it when I was younger.
Anyhow...
Reign of Fire.
Titanic (although I have seen it twice already)
Scary Movie (sweet Jesus on a Jetski, it was utterly bereft of a single redeeming feature).
Cats and Dogs (if I ever have to watch it again, I'l fast-forward any scene that has a human)

Haha I KNEW someone would make a comment about me hating The Godfather.

I disliked the Godfather for a number of reasons:

-I was bored to tears
-I didn't enjoy the glorification of the mafia/murder/stereotypes
-It was far too long than it needed to be
-It was quite self-indulgent
-And also just about everyone at my high school thought it was truly the ultimate film, and a lot of people live by those damn movies.

I just didn't get into it.

I did like The Deer Hunter for some aspects, but overall I'm not going to go race to see it again. Same with The Mission- good story, but I was bored and it didn't really interest me.

Both the Godfather and the Godfather 2 = f***ing awesome. I need to buy those movies...

Anyway, here are some from my list:

Saw (I wouldn't have even seen that once if it weren't for my friend)
Any Disney Channel Original
Anything with the Olsen twins
Requiem for a Dream (just cause that was too depressing - it wasn't a bad film though)
Animated Return of the King
Spiderman
Spiderman 2
Signs
Wimbledon
Blade Trinity

And there are others, but I can't think of them all.

Oh, I loved Signs! It's the only one of his movies that
1) I didn't see the ending coming.
2) Hence I didn't feel as though I'd been brained by message throughout the entire film.

Actually, Requiem for a Dream should only be watched once. It just doesn't have the same effect the second time. It absolutely astounded me the first time I saw it, bowled me over. The second time I saw it... n'yeh... Eveeryone should see it once, but no more.
As long as we're bashing crap movies...
Love Actually (except for the bit where the chauffer joins in with Hugh Grants Carol Singing, five seconds of genius in an otherwise desolate piece of filmmaking).
Van Helsing.
Con Air (seriously, the right-wing subtexts in that film are extremely discomforting)
The Italian Job (remake)

Ahh Godric I see we will disagree on movies... I really enjoy Love Actually. But I do agree- I love that part.

More movies I can't stand-

-The Rocky Horror Picture Show
-Scary Movie 1 & 2
-The Fly (I'm not sure if there is more than one vers. of this. If so, I don't like the one with Jeff Goldbloom)
-GREASE!
-Bowling for Columbine

oh, I love the Rocky Horror Picture Show. But yeah, my husband hates it too. Oh well you can't account for taste. JK.

Anyway I HATE Pulp Fiction. Love Tarrintino films, hate that one.
I won't watch Resivour Dogs again, too bloody, but good.
Some Billy Crystal movie fro the 80's. I walked out and it was so bad I cannot even remember the name. The Office, Joe Dirt, That Weird al movie, Jersey Girl, Le Divorce, and a lot that have been named I never saw in the first place. Like to think I have standards. Truth is I just don't go to the movies.

Totally agree with you on Grease. I can't stand that damn movie.

Bowling for Columbine, on the other hand, was quite good, I thought. Just curious, but what didn't you like about it? Was it that you disagreed with it?

I disagreed with the tactics Michael Moore used in that film.

He twisted around so many facts, used selective editing, and I would just call it propaganda.

I thought it would be more like Roger & Me, but I was just turned off by it.

I liked some of his points, but not how he went about making them.

That one where those kids robbed that bank...Catch That Kid....yeah. That was bad.

And...uh...Electra wasn't that great either. Jennifer Garner was awesome, but the plot sucked.

Also that Teenage Drama Queen movie.

Haha, methinks Sakura must not have read the Bowling for Columbine thread from the old tp

I think that might have been before my time (at TP).

Ahhh yes... my Michael Moore thread.

lol That would have provided all your answers!

There was an original of "The Fly" with -- akh, Vincent Price? Bail me out, Bel -- and it's a classique. Very campy and neat. But the remake was repulsive -- Goldbloom started looking too insectoid and gross as a human for me.

I hated 2001, for the most part, except for a few interactions where I really regretted how HAL ended up losing. (Am I allowed to say that?) :unsure:

THE WIZARD OF OZ!

Gosh I am so sick of that movie. Especially when they broadcast it so many times on local channels.

(no offense to anyone who likes it)

I am going to put Anchorman on this list. Really really dumb!!

Wizard of Oz...I love that movie! We watch it annually and thats about it. I used to love Grease but gotta admit they play it too much too! Still would not NEVER watch either of them again...just need a few years between viewings!

King Arthur-what utter rubbish!

Ooooh, yes and no. Terrible Arthurian legend, yes. But seven hunks in leather, how can you not just look at it? Ivy really liked the snow in it too. ^_^

Help! actually. It was as bad as A Hard Day's Night was good.

I hate The Wizard of Oz too. It just gets under my skin.

I think Help! is quite funny in that John admits that it could have been a lot better, so I watch it kind of tongue in cheek.

Yep - it was the bestest ever performance by snow in a drama! It really was! :lol:

Ok - Number One movie that I will never ever watch again - is: Dead Poets Society. Worst ever glorification of a teacher who pushed a teen to suicide I've ever seen. :angry:

After that - there's a couple. One is Sophie's Choice - 'cos I just cried so much, it's just too painful to even think about, let alone watch again. Too sad.

Another is that Dental Torture movie. I have scary goosebumps just trying to think of its name - had Dustin in it, something about running. But that Dental scene - never again!
