Movies You've Seen That You Wish You Hadn't
Haven't seen a thread like this, but I'll kick it off:
Hellboy II: The Golden Army Passage to India Adaptations There's probably more, but the last two are on my all-time stickers list and the first one was the big disappointment for last year. Anyone else?

Funny Games
Not that it's a terrible movie, but that it infuriates me to no end.

Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay
You'll laugh. You won't be able to help yourself in places. But there's just too much that you won't be able to un-see. I still like Kal Pen. |

Yeah, that one was pretty fucked up. I wish I could unsee the whole movie, but mostly I just want to unsee the part where the dude's junk gets mutilated on the boat. That makes me cringe and wince everytime I think of it.
As for movies I wish I could unsee: Chocolat (terrible, just utterly terrible) Epic Movie

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

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.

Anything with Jim Carey, Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy in.
Brokeback mountain. The scenery was nice though.

Every Mel Gibson movies. Some of them were great, but I try to refrain from seeing films starring anti-Semites.

The Ring. That scene with the horse and the blood in the water...pass the brain bleach.

The Happening.
One of the worst movies I have ever seen. The acting is bad, the plot. I really loved sixth sense and even Signs. I even liked The Happening less than The Village and that is saying something since The Village is up there in its badness.

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!

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.

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.
