Your least favourite film?

[Blue Hills]

I like those films where sod all happens.

Try Dogville.

Some might well say nowt happens and it might seem like hardly a film (all "indoors" and the "set" is mostly painted lines) but it's truly excellent.

Just to show that I'm open minded

 

[Blue Hills]

It's not a bad film really, but deserves none of the ludicrous adulation it gets which is why I hate it.

I agree totally about Shawshank.

Apparently a lot of women like it.

Don't know why - puzzles me - maybe some are just going along with ooh-ahing over it for the sake of conversational bonding like some men do with football.

It's a pretty straightforward so-so prison flick but I remember at the time so many folk talking about in hushed tones.

It's main interest for me was cultural historical - the prison flick used to be a big genre way back before my time.

I find your lack of faith disturbing........

Penrith, thats not too far.

Penrith, thats not too far.

I was in Penrith town centre last week, it seemed quite nice.

Well it had a lovely chippy at least.

 

[slowmotion]

Absolutely anything with Jim Carey in it. Sorry, they are all ghastly.

may i recommend Siamese Cop... The ultimate cop buddy movie!

Thank you. I think! I'll give this one a try

 

[Tin Pot]

Not a lot of love here for basic comedy and action films eh?

Cheer up, you could've watched :

Bubba Ho-Tep - Elvis vs Mummy
Plan 9 From Outer Space - everything vs everything
Revolver - null
Kiss her - coma rape

Or Richard Gere in virtually anything. It's so painful to watch him act I want to tear my eyes out. "Double" was the most recent 90mins of him blinking, looking sideways and biting his lip, and sauntering. What a farking waste.

Have to say I'm genuinely surprised at some of the movies that appear (many more than once) on this list of 'least favourites'. Such as:

Sideways
ET
Dead Poets Society
Clerks
Shaun of the dead
Forest Gump
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Reservoir Dogs
There will be Blood
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Pulp Fiction

Every one a winner!

Not to mention one of my absolute favourite all time fillums,

Withnail and I

How can any of those be anyone's least favourite movies? Haven't any of you seen The Andromeda Strain?

 

[Chromatic]

Absolutely anything with Jim Carey in it. Sorry, they are all ghastly.

The Truman Show is good.

 

[Cletus Van Damme]

Mamma Mia
Pearl Harbor (was top for years until I watched the above)
Titanic
Inglourious Basterds

 

[MontyVeda]

Absolutely anything with Jim Carey in it. Sorry, they are all ghastly.

After sitting through too many of his supposedly 'hilarious' films.... I'm of the same sentiment.,, especially Mask!

But Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is worth a look.


Has anyone mentioned the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels yet?

The first one is a good long daft laugh ... but the rest tumbled over a sheer drop rather than went badly downhill.

 

[luckyfox]

Anything with Tom Cruise, buckled teeth or straight he's like a dead frog you want to poke with a stick.

I dont know why, he just is.

 

[Blue Hills]

I used to work with a woman who really fancied him.

It was when he was married to Nocole Kidman.

The venom she directed at poor ol Nicole was a sight to behold.

Bizzare.

women, uh ?

Sorry - back to topic

Not necessarily worst film I ever saw but I seem to remember once walking out of a Ken Russell film.

Gothic?

He was a special case though - sometimes dreadful but often rather wonderful in a deranged way and at least he was never "polite literary theatrical Brit filmmaker" for which I was always eternally grateful.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Robert De Niro films apart from the Bullwinkle Moose one.

 

[Leaway2]

The Big Lebowski. I am not sure it was my worst film ever, but my most disappointing after all the raving. I just don't get it.
