I liked Forrest Gump, but DESPISED Good Will Hunting. I don’t see what was so good about it. I think Matt Damon and Ben Affleck must have sucked several yards of Hollywood cock to get that movie made.
Most of the ones I would have picked have been mentioned already, so I’ll just concur:
Forrest Gump - Forrest wasn’t the only retarded element of this movie. I can’t believe I wasted 8 hours of my life (or however the hell long it was) on this crap. In fact, I’ll go a step further and just say any movie with Tom Hanks.
Fight Club - I don’t care about the violence, it’s the middlebrow cliches trying to pass themselves off as highbrow “ideas” and “philosophical insights” that bothered me. Oh, and the lame-ass “twist” ending.
2001: A Space Odyssey - So boring I stopped watching after an hour. Didn’t think “Dr. Strangelove” was all that great, either - a bunch of stereotypes and an overly-obvious “message.”
Star Wars - Really a very slooooooow-paced movie when you watch it now. And the plot was regurgitated from The Handbook Of Literary Themes. Liked it when I was seven, though.
Anything by Oliver Stone.
Anything with Julia Roberts (including “Erin Brokovich”).
The Matrix - I went to see it in the theater and laughed out loud at the horrible dialogue and corny love story. A spectacle; sound and fury, signifying nothing.
However, I am always baffled by people who claim “American Beauty” was a piece of crap. The only Academy Award-winning movie of the past 15 years that I thought deserved it.
Yet another person calling American Beauty a pile of crap. I haven’t met a single person IRL who agrees with me…
Saving Private Ryan is also on the top of my movie shitlist. Along with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Uck.
For me, the most overrated movie (it won best picture, fercryinoutloud) was “Dances with Wolves.” As a director, Kevin Costner should be called “Plays with Cameras.”
Hey, I LIKE Star Wars, Good Will Hunting, and American Beauty. What I hated was:
*
Forrest Gump*-To this day, I can’t explain this movie in ten words or less.*
Batman* and its sequels*
The Exorcist
Hannibal
Speed
The Matrix
Immortal Beloved
*ANY Star Trek movie
Rocky Horror: Aside from the decent Meat Loaf video in the middle, it’s a stupid as hell movie. I’ve had friends try to defend it. It’s a waste of time, guys!
Forrest Gump: I’m ambivelent on this one. I don’t see it as anti-intellectual, just pro-dumbf$sckingluck.
I’m lucky in that I haven’t seen any of the rest of these. 
Movies disliked here that I like:
It’s a Wonderful Life
The English Patient
The Matrix
Saving Private Ryan
American Beauty
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Yes, we all have our opinions, but I found the acting tremendous, the direction stunning, and plot anything but idiotic. Beautiful, interesting movie.
Now, movies I don’t like that the majority seem to:
Braveheart (Mel the director: “Let’s see how many gruesome ways I can film Scottish fighters getting mortally wounded.”)
Rocky (“Stella!” I mean, “Adrianne!”)
I also had a problem with the wet t-shirt scene in As Good As It Gets. Gratuitous, definitely. And this movie would have been 100% better if Holly Hunter had accepted the role that Helen Hunt eventually got. (I am not a Helen Hunt fan.)
Hey. I just realized that both actresses’ initials are HH.
Movies I was talked into watching but hated:
-All Star Wars movies except episode one
-Both Ace Ventura movies
-Babe
-Austin Powers:The Spy Who Bored Me
-Rounders
-Toy Story (the second was good, though)
-The Wizard of Oz
-Alice in Wonderland (pick a version, any version)
-Diabolique
-Tapeheads
-Bless The Child (such a terrible adaptation!)
-The Shining, Kubrick’s version
-Supernova (super sucked)
-Here On Earth
-The Phantom
-7 Years in Tibet
-The Beach
- The Princess Bride.
Granted, I only saw it once, about three years ago, but it just bored the hell out of me and struck me only as distinctly unfunny.
I also hate anything with Adam Sandler, Japanese animation and Monty Python’s Life of Brian (even though I love everything else Python)…
So YOU’RE the single person on the planet who liked Episode One!!
I’m blaming Jar Jar Binks on you, Elfkin.

Slaps Katisha across the face in a defiant challenge
I am mortally offended, and call thee out. Pistols or blades?
Hey, Leo died in the movie, so it wasn’t all bad. Although, fortunately for me, I only saw the last half and missed the gooey love story part…
I’d say American Beauty was way overrated. It was okay, but there were better choices for Best Picture.
I thought I was going to hate Fight Club so I put off seeing it until this past fall. But I thought it was awesome. Traffic gets my vote. I hated the blue/yellow filter tricks, the three plots didn’t connect well, and the only one I gave a damn about was the one with Michael Douglas. As one review I saw put it, “a star-studded after-school special” and “Steven Soderburgh takes 3 hours to tell us drugs are bad.”
This is truly amazing. I previously considered myself to be intelligent when it comes to film, but these posts have shown me I’m just a big follower who can’t form a single original opinion.
Just kidding.
I’ve attempted to watch The English Patient several times, and it has put me to sleep without fail, regardless of how tired I am.
Add another vote for Saving Private Ryan. There were several very good battle scenes, but overall, the story is the weakest I’ve seen in an oscar-winning film in years.
Gladiator was totally mediocre and offered absolutely nothing new or original whatsoever. Some cool gore and fight scenes, but deserving of only a “eh”
And I have to defend a couple movies too: Pleasantville is in my top 5 of all time, and the preachiness is intended, as well as very effective. Subtlety would have been completely unfitting.
Traffic was the best movie of last year. I’m a Soderbergh junkie, so maybe I’m biased, but I thought the color filters did a good job of applying a certain feel to each setting.
Oh, and if anyone dares to mention The Usual Suspects, I will not hesitate to execute you in a very cold-blooded fashion. Have a nice day 
I knew I forgot something! The Usual Suspects was a boring, incomprehensible piece of cinematic crap. Thank you.
I also forgot 9 1/2 weeks. I’ve heard it called the one of the sexiest movies ever. I found it about as sexy as gingivitis.
Amedeus, you’re on! Blades it is! 
I thought I was the only one who did not like this movie. I found it dull, uninteresting and did not give a crap about the characters. I think I lasted about 35 minutes into the film before I went into another room and read a book!
Meet the Parents tried too hard to be funny. It struck me as very trite. Everyone I know loved it, though.
I was a thirteen-year-old girl when it was a staple for thirteen-year-old girls to see Titanic. I can boast that I have never seen that movie! I was ashamed for a while of the stereotype I was associated with. All over the media you would hear, “Titanic, the movie made big by thirteen-year-old girls…” Ick.
Notting Hill was a piece of crap. Piece. Of. Crap.
Basically any chick flick I hate. Most comedies too. And any movie aimed towards teenagers (American Pie, 10 Things I Hate About You, Road Trip, although I didn’t see that one…you know the drill).
On the other hand, I really liked RHPS. I’ve seen it at least 20 times, but nowhere near the 1000 times that some people have.
American Pie. Now I remember it. The one where the guy had sex with a pie. That movie really sucked.
Peace,

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: I like Paul Newman and Robert Redford, but hate this movie. The “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” scene is nothing less than excrutiating to watch, and was a precursor of the Music Video interlude that has contaminated movies since the mid 80’s.
Fight Club and The Usual Suspects: Don’t hate them, but find them kind of blah. Didn’t see the twist endings coming, but didn’t care when they were revealed, sorta like in Basic Instinct. They all seemed like a screenwriting exercise in twist endings.
Full Metal Jacket: Love the first half. Hate the second half.
The Shining: Hated it. By badly miscasting Jack Nicholson, the haunted hotel setting is made moot. This is a movie that desperately needed an everyman type actor so that the hotel driving him crazy could have some dramatic impact. Loved the TV Mini-series version, though.
But you can put me down as one of the minority here who likes The English Patient, though I don’t love it. Others listed that I love: Saving Private Ryan, Pleasantville and Field of Dreams.
