I hate everything David Cronenberg has ever directed. I could go on an on about movies I hate that most people like. But I won't.

I liked Shooter and it seems I'm in the minority. Maybe that means I'm gay for Mark Wahlberg.

I also like pretty much any movie with Rob Schneider, my most favorite being The Animal.

A comedy with no redeeming qualities outside the comedy which isn't funny? No thanks.

If someone does not has an opinion that other people think is bizarre and would make them distrust their opinions of other things then you are very strange and a bit of a sheep imo, whos opinions I would distrust. Thats the point of this thread. If you post a list of more than a few films everyone should have issue with something in it.

I am not the only person who thinks Forrest Gump was criminally awful. In fact there are a fair few including top film critics not Armond White trolling. This is not the point. It is not some film that acts as a litmus test for film taste.

So a movie got terrible reviews and you didn't like it?

That totally seems on topic for this thread.

Inception, interesting idea but it got so silly that all the rules in there as far as bullets hitting you and the results of that scenario got glossed over like an 80s action movie. The good guys in that film woulda been swiss cheesed easily and kinda killed the movie for me. Also the big twist at the end with the top was ******ed. Either he was still in the dream world or he wasnt and honestly after watching them dodge every bullet thrown at them I just didnt care either way. I know the average OOTer is on the nuts of this movie but I dont understand why. It seemed like a standard action movie with some Matrix type of stuff and a crappy twist ending.

Wasnt a bad movie but its just 1 of those types that I saw and prolly wont see again until 5 yrs down the line when its on tv and there's nothing else on.

Funny, I just rewatched Inception last night and thought it was even better the 2nd time around. Also regarding the ending, it's really not important whether he was still in the dream world or back in the real world. The whole point of that scene was that he didn't care. He wasn't even looking at the top at the end.

The Shawshank Redemption is terrible. It's like some sick joke everyone is in one except me.

Early reviews for Fast Five are overwhelmingly positive...

If you're watching them for anything other than seeing some pretty neat cars do some pretty neat stunts then I think you're fishing in the wrong pond. Maybe you'll get some decent acting out of that kid from Pleasantville, but who cares?

I like this movie a lot, but I do feel like a lot of people regarding as a near-classic and I'm not really sure I buy that. Part of it may be that the original novel is probably my favorite work of King's and the movie was never going to hold up to that.

There are no more 18 people in the world who saw that movie because it was about ballet.

Jordana Brewster needs to be utilized more.

What are you talking about? The only people who seemed to care where the people who's lives revolved around ballet.

I also hate The Usual Suspects as to me it's a complete waste of time.

Three of my top 5 favorite all time movies are Transformers, The Island and Armageddon, all Michael Bay, all with mixed reviews, so there goes my movie credibility. Imo Bay embodies everything that movie cliches say a movie should be and takes it to perfection. Avatar also got blasted for its plot but it's freaking awesome.

haters gonna hate

Throw in Sucker Punch to the films I liked
Holy hell- you and I could just... never hang. Ever.

I looked at the IMDB top 250 and while there are a lot of terribly over-rated movies, the highest rated movie that I saw and actually disliked is The Green Mile, and it does pretty well on rottentomatoes too.

I can't really find any movies I've seen on a list of the worst movies, but Zardoz only gets 44% on rottentomatoes and it's pretty cool.

People complaining about The American (which I thought was ok) got me thinking about real art movies that review well, but suck and I think I have the winner (even beating out Fellini movies with clowns):

Eraserhead

Crash was so absurdly bad that it still angers me to an irrational extent.

Credibility killer: Death Race was near perfection.

Thank you for putting into words how I feel about this abortion of a movie.

The funny thing is that a different Crash, by David Cronenberg, is one of the most criminally underrated movies out there. Definitely worth checking out if you're into themes of sexual obsession and modern isolationism.
