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

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.

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.

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.

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'd almost (thankfully) forgotten that clunker.

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. |

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.
