Yes! Spider-man 3, that's one I'd rather forget.
Also, although I've never seen it the whole way through, The Dreamers. When the brother is making breakfast while the roommate and sister are doing things I won't repeat ... yeah, I really wish I could lose that image.

Far out. It's one of my favorites. Well, how about that.
Just wish they hadn't entered my consciousness:
Silence of the Lambs
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Unenjoyable, or profoundly disappointing:
The Hours
Brokeback Mountain
You Light Up My Life
Babel
The Terminal
Wedding Crashers
Meet the Fockers
Godfather Part 111
Magnolia
Mulholland Drive

I saw The Ring on TV - was the scene really that bad? I knew something awful would happen to the horse, but it wasn't too icky on TV.
About Schmidt -Kathy Bates. Topless. Need I say more?
Borat - I liked the movie for the most part, but there ain't enough brain bleach in the world to erase the scene of Sacha Baron Cohen and the fat guy wrestling all over the hotel room stark nekkid.
I don't remember the name of it, but it was supposedly-funny spoof of 300. It wasn't funny. Two hours of my life I'll never get back - someone owes me for that.
eta Meet the Spartans. It just came to me. Gah!

Oh...and Female Perversions. It *sounded* like an interesting movie (actually the blurb sounded interesting, not just the title). It was anything but. It was stupid. Made NO sense WHATSOEVER.
Battlefield Earth
No one warned me beforehand on that one. I haven't watched a Travolta film since.
Hancock
Will Smith was good in it. Too bad nothing else was.
The Godfather
Go ahead. Sue me. Crucify me. I didn't like it. Everyone built it up to be so damn great. I don't apologize.

It was bad enough for my taste...depends on how much you can handle when it comes to animals suffering/panicking/etc.
OMG I hated that movie. Especially when he ambushed Pamela Anderson. From what I understand, she was NOT in on it, and that's just not cool.

Only worth watching for the Hannibal Lecther bits, IMHO. Twenty minutes onscreen at most and Anthony Hopkins stole the show. Although it gave me a neat little subplot for my WIP about the lead character loathing the movie because an idiot acquaintance used to give him all kinds of grief about having the same (well, almost) first name as the serial killer.
I wanted to like The Green Mile, but it was one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen. And Jurassic Park was supposed to be "da bawmb" as far as special effects went, but the first dinosaur they showed was so clumsily and obviously blue-screened that it ruined the entire movie for me.

Another one to add - and I'm sure I'll be shot for this:
Saturday Night Fever.
WTF is the attraction to SNF????

Nashville.
I absolutely hated it, as did almost everyone else in Nashville, even the locals who were used as extras.
I could never really enjoy any other films by Robert Altman.

Benjamin Button? Atonement? My heart is broken! I adore those films.
Oh, oh! I will join Jack in the I Don't Like This Classic Club. Go ahead and kill me for these movies that I hate:
Scarface.
The Sound of Music.
Wizard of Oz.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

The 1976 remake of King Kong. The Godzilla movies had better special effects. I did like the recent remake, although it was about 40 minutes too long. The original is still my favorite movie of all time.
Alleycat, I agree about Nashville. The movie, not the city where I grew up. The only Altman film I've enjoyed since was one most folks hate, Gosford Park, but I wouldn't watch it again. Nashville wasn't as bad as his blasphemous version of Raymond Chandler's best novel, The Long Goodbye, but it was a pretty sorry mess of a film indeed.

I can't handle much - I usually avoid movies with animals (thanks, Disney /sarcasm) But I figured something blech was going to happen, so I kind of watched through my fingers - I'm a nancy that way.

I really enjoyed the Ring. I live for scary movies. But I can't remember that scene at all... Hm.
There's some movies I got off Netflix that were a total waste of time.
Scoop
Tape
13 Ghosts
Pathology
Half Nelson
Blind Dating
The Hard Easy (Even though staring at David Boreanaz for two hours was totally worth it.
That's all for now.

I'm the exact same way. I couldn't watch Black Beauty.
Incidentally, my "The Ring"-induced trauma was made even MORE enjoyable by the fact that I commuted to work on one of the ferries upon which THAT SCENE was filmed.
I need therapy...

'Face / Off' really freaked me out but apparantly I'm weird for that.
Otherwise...
Flesh for Frankenstein
Disaster Movie
Basic Instinct 2
Miss Potter (albeit only saw about half an hour before I had to switch it off for the sake of my sanity)

You Don't Mess with the Zohan -- why I went and saw an Adam Sandler movie, I have no idea!
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen -- one of the few movies I actually walked out on.
Brothers Grimm - what a disastrous mess.

Gigli. Al Pacino couldn't even save his brief screen time from the horror of what that movie was.
