Anyone remember CB4 with Chris Rock?

joe dirt was an awesome movie

I don't understand why people thought sideways and superbad were good

Idiocracy was not popular at the movies but is incredible!

SKimmed through some of this thread, a few quick thoughts...

1. Sideways is one of my favorite movies. It's funny, the dialogue is great, and it's well directed + Napa Valley looks awesome.

2. I agree that Godfather can get a little boring, but the book is awesome. You should all read the book.

3. Hated Idiocracy...don't think it's clever at all. Really liked Grandma's Boy though.

4. District 9 is an interesting, fast moving movie with good acting. It was really cool.


To add one to the thread...

I didn't like Chinatown

Same here. I saw one of the LOTR movies and after 2.5 hrs I just turned it off. There was probably only another 15 minutes left but I didn't care. If I had to see Elijah Wood fall down again for no reason I was gonna snap.

Star Wars sucks too. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Have never seen Harry Potter

I thought the novel "Fight Club" was absolutely hilarious but the movie didn't do much for me although I believe a lot of young people liked it.

Michael Moore's movie "The Big One" is probably one of his least known movies (only grossed 720,000) but I thought it was somewhat funny and interesting.

Bad movie Deer Hunter. Like all Cimino films boring, overdone. Also Im a Coen brothers fan but A Serious Man was not good, it's full of unlikable characters. Good movie, Man on Fire. Denzel may be limited in characters he can play, but he has big screen star quality charisma.

Loved Country Strong which got bad reviews and hated The Lincoln Lawyer which got good reviews.

I don't care what anybody says, Bringing Down the House is funny.

Outside of the montage set to the song Shout, I don't get why people think Wedding Crashers was good. After that montage it was a pretty below average romantic comedy.

Totally agree with Hurt Locker. It was so hyped on messageboards and at the oscars. I finally got around to seeing it. It was a decent movie, but not a great movie.

Tho I loved her earlier work - Point Break is a classic, and Near Dark (Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton playing vampires)

Claude Chabrol's Pleasure Party has like a 6.8 imdb rating and i think is his best movie as is pretty great

Btw I'm watching Ron Burgundy for the first time now. I don't think I chuckled once for the first 15 minutes, but there's been some funny stuff since. I also tivo-ed wedding Crashers to watch for the first time. I have a feeling I'll like it better since the characters seem more like actual people.

Uhhh Law Abiding Citizen got 3.5 stars (7.2/10) from IMDB -- and it was a great movie!

Edit: Just realized it got only 1 star (WTF) from Rotten Tomatoes -- **** those guys!

The problem with Crash is that movie was already made 12 years earlier it was called "Short Cuts" and was done better imo. sittin thru crash just thinkin to myself jfc i have seen this already.

+1 with adam sandler and seth rogan the movie got almost zero buzz, but it was well done

Moulin Rouge.

critically acclaimed and won awards. the movie is painful to watch and way over the top. not to mention ewan mcgregor plays a dude infatuated with a Nicole Kidman's character, but he comes off as flaming gay.

can someone explain the appeal of Eternal Sunshine? I can't stand this movie and I just watched it for the 2nd time kinda just to make sure. I like the actors a lot in other stuff but I just don't get this at all. It has a pretty good premise and then its an hour of meandering, incoherent garbage. Kaufman's other stuff is even worse.

this movie is awesome, how can it be 1 star, morons.

responding just to tell you to watch man on wire again. its a very low-budget, laid-back documentary, but its done very well and the people involved are very interesting. i thought it was a great story, not just because the feat is remarkable (it is), but i just enjoyed the experience from the perspective of those involved.

the obvious troll picture made me laugh pretty hard.

eternal sunshine is one of my favorite movies so i will defend it. i think time is a very interesting idea that is underused in movies. without saying too much, most of the many ways it manipulates time, memory, and thought are fascinating. im a fan of winslet and carey and theyre on point here. their characters are likeable but real, as is their relationship, and the experience they go through is unique and thought-provoking. supporting characters (cross, wood, dunst, and the doctor) are all pretty hilarious, and have their own funny roles in the experience. it is also beautiful to watch and well-written.

raising arizona is a pile of crap. im going to preface this by saying i must be biased against old movies, or not understand something from a previous generation, because i frequently hate movies from before 95. this is no exception. i love pretty much every other coen bros movie and was pumped to see this. after 15 minutes i had that horrible feeling that it might not get better, but figured there were too many great people involved for it not to pick up. but it sucks. it sucks so bad. the plot is so stupid. it makes no sense and its not funnier for it. every joke is on the first level, the actings junk (one of cages worst accents which is saying something) its ugly to watch (half of its in a trailer), its depressing, and the endings terrible. i feel better.

starwars is meh. im not gonna be too harsh on it cause it seems cool and stuff and everyone loves it and i can respect that, but it just really doesnt do it for me. i predict were the last generation that cares much about it though.

Uhhh, okay? What does IMDB's rating have to do with me or my post? IMDB giving it 3.5 and RT having it at 1-star doesn't have anything to do with what I think of it.

It was okay, but it's been done before. Man's family killed, now he's a vigilante. See: Death Wish and maybe 100 other movies. Of course there's the part where some random establishes that the vigilante is actually a highly-trained CIA assassin & "the best there is." Really? I'm surprised Steven Seagal didn't make a cameo.

Gerard Butler was good at least, Jamie Foxx was okay enough, which helps. Just didn't see a great story there, only a chain a people getting killed in different ways and a stupid generic ending. That's good enough to watch but not what I'd call a "great" movie.

I didn't like Chicago at all, probably the most overhyped thing I've seen. The Pianist definitely got robbed that year.

Conan the Barbarian (1982) is the most underrated film. The score from that is one of the best ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRTPf0g4h9s

Good reviews and did not like list is too large to list really. Will go ahead and start with a universally acclaimed movie that is recent.... There Will Be Blood. It's a gorgeously shot movie and technically excellent all around but it doesn't do much for me. Plainview is too much a caricature and DDL hams it up a lot.

The point of this thread is not "movies I don't like".
