Titanic and Avatar.
Recently, Taken. Saw it on cable a few weeks ago after all my friends raved about it and thought it was terrible.
And, perennially: It’s a Wonderful Life.
I’ll take Airk’s Water World and add in The Postman, which I think is a pretty good post-apocalyptic movie as well.
Bingo. Do not get the love.
I’ll volunteer Scarface, which is a giant, steaming pile of excrement.
A lissome blonde, and ELO music? That was more than enough for me. 
I didn’t like Kill Bill Vol. 1. Just don’t care for all the violence, over-the-top or not.
Also, The Descendants (the recent George Clooney movie that got rave reviews). I found it awesomely tedious, and any character development was opaque.
I know all Janeites hate the movie Mansfield Park, starring Frances O’Connor as Fanny. And I realize that it departs from the character of Fanny in the book by miles and leagues and light years. But damn it, I like movie-Fanny better, and I really enjoyed the movie all around.
I also saw Let the Right One In with dubbing, and I liked it just fine. (I often dislike captions because it distracts me from the visual element of the movie and it discloses information before the plot catches up.)
The first thing that comes to mind is that the only M. Night Shyamalan movie I ever really liked was Unbreakable, and I absolutely HATED The Six Sense. Most people I’ve encountered have the reverse opinions.
ETA: Seriously, if you don’t like Shyamalan’s work, and haven’t seen Unbreakable, check it out. IMO, it’s his only movie worth a damn.
Alien 3 > Aliens
I do not like Moulin Rouge one tiny iota. Awful awful movie (and I love musicals so it’s not that).
I will 2nd voltaire’s assessment above, but I would never actually recommend Unbreakable. It was a serviceable movie, better than the 6th sense, but I would never say go out and watch it.
Well, the ending might have left a little bit to be desired, but I’m not one of those people who demand completely resolved and satisfying endings, as long as the journey was worth it. They should have set it up for a sequel, IMO.
It was Morgan Freeman’s narration, that made that movie. Take out the narration and you have a pretty good prison movie, Freeman takes it to another level.
Red: “I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that’s how it went for Andy - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.”
I think Ray Liota’s narration also helped Goodfellas alot. That was a fantastic movie that became a legend.
I love and own these movies.
Mars Attacks is the perfect genre parody.
Waterworld was just awesome.
Towards the end when Amy runs in between the gorillas advancing towards the people and she chatises the gorillas saying, “Bad gorilla. Bad gorilla.” my eyes get all watery.
I also love and own Phenomenon and Michael with John Travolta. All my friends say those movies are the suck.
You’re my new best friend. I hated this one with a passion and have never found anyone who agrees.
I couldn’t get into any of the Stanley Kubrick films I’ve seen. Dr. Strangelove in particular seemed to fall short of its reputation, but I suspect that the Seinfeld is Unfunny phenomenon is at play.
That’s probably the most fashionable-to-deride show on the air today.
The Harry Potter movies and those ridiculous Twilight films. Also the HBO True Blood series.
Citizen Kane
I agree about The Descendants and was gob-smacked when it was nominated for best film.
Yeah, those. Plus American Beauty.
More personally, The Wild Bunch. I like Westerns, I like violence, but I’ve started this movie a dozen times and never finished it.
Mars Attacks! is perfect for what it was trying to be. It is one of Burton’s absolute best. I don’t understand why people don’t like it, really. It’s like a much, much better version of Independence Day (which is also kind of a parody of the genre, although, I believe unintentional).
Congo is a very good and frightening movie. I didn’t even know people hated it.
Waterworld is ok… my dad was fascinated with it and took us to the theater like 3 times I think to see it… over and over. So I kind of hate it for that reason. But I’ll never forget, “SMOKERS!!!”
I think I’m the only person who genuinely loves Season Of The Witch.
Not to be confused with Nick Cage in The Wicker Man.
I hated Avatar too. The admittedly spectacular visuals did NOT make up for cardboard-cutout characters and the cliche-storm “plot” that basically served as an excuse to slam the viewer in the face with the “humans are evil” anvil.
Didn’t much care for Titanic, either. With so many interesting REAL people on that ship, all we saw were two self-centered adolescents in rut.
I liked both. I also liked “The Village”, but was bored stiff by “Lady in the Water” (my husband’s opinions on the latter two are the inverse of mine). We agreed that “The Happening” was awful.
Agree.
Agree again.
You are wise, drewtwo99.
Oh…wait…
Well, you lost me there.
