Oh

Sending Boggs and thesisters to visit you for that!

I'd tell you that this movie was mediocre at best and was quickly seen and then forgotten about completely when the next movie of similar caliber came along, like The Green Mile or the like.

But that isn't how Hollywood and the collective psyche work.

AND you didn't like The Green Mile?

Wow. Next you'll be telling me Assassination of Jesse James was robbed of an Academy Award!

The Departed makes me want to hurt others, and then myself.

Others have mentioned Crash, Antichrist, and The Boondock Saints. Thank you, others. We suffer together.

I can see not enjoying Million Dollar Baby, 2001, The Usual Suspects, and The Shawshank Redemption, but to have such loathing for them seems odd to me.

No, I did like the Green Mile, just like I liked the Shawshank Redemption. It is all you sheep that think Shawshank is GOAT that make me hate the movie. No one ever accused the Green Mile of being GOAT or anything close to it.

Provocateur! J'accuse!

Je ne parle que la vérité, mon respecté frère dans le film.

Wooly Mammoths building the Great Pyramids?

However, two early 90's movies that I paid to see left me feeling extremely ripped of. First was K2 the Michael Biehn driven mountain climbing flick. Good visuals but horrible acting. They were quite chatty for climbing to such altitudes.

Second was the 1992 underground fight club movie Gladiator. Starring James Marshall (the whiney Private Downey from A Few Good Men) and Cuba Gooding Jr. Brian Dennehy is the evil promoter of this club, Marshall and Gooding become friends after first hating each other yad yada yada and they are forced to fight each other in the finale blah blah blah.

Points off for choosing this reference over James from Twin Peaks.

My wife wanted to throw in Pirates of the Caribbean II : Dead Man's Chest. That thing just wouldn't end.

"BBBBB BUT HAAAAAAALLLLLL, WHAT DID WE DO WRONG??" LOL

Sorry, never saw Twin peaks.

Well, I've gone into detail on these films before, but I';; give you the gist of it:

The Usual Suspects is one big cheat. Either the entire story is made up by Kevin Spacey's character, and is thus completely meaningless, or he's lying because the story he tells just not make sense with the geography of where everyone is on the boat. It's a complete mess.

Titanic is Twilight on the water. Billy Zane's character needed to have a mustache so he could twirl it with dastardly delight.

Once Upon a Time in America is a story about horrible people that we're actually supposed to like. They're awful, awful people - every one of them. And the end - jesus - are we supposed to believe that James Woods commits suicide by trash compactor? Really???

One of the best films I've seen in twenty years.

I recognize that they're not bad movies, but I really hate the condescension and smugness of On Golden Pond and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

I hate Chevy's Chase's Modern Problems a lot. I'll go with that.

This thread has taken a turn for the worse.

The thread title is Your Most Hated Movie of All Time...NOT...Your Most Hated Popular Movie That Most People Like.

For me, it's definitely going to be Beastly

Dom linked the trailer to this movie a little while back somewhere and it's just got to be the worst movie ever made.

I'm certainly more inclined to hate music than a movie. Bad music is hard to escape. It's played at sporting events, theme parks, elevators, dentist's offices, YouTube videos (people love ruining a good YT vid with horrible music - trying to "rep" their favorite flavor-of-the-month band), cars next to you at a red light, etc. I can easily acquire a massive disdain for bad music.

I can't recall the last time I was forced to watch a bad movie. I've never walked through a bookstore and had a hologram appear in front of me showing Battlefield Earth. But you go to any bookstore and they will be playing some music (though usually it's not bad). If this happened, yeah, I could see growing a hatred for a movie. As it stands I just say "god that sucks" then change the channel anytime I see it on.

There's also a small disconnect between hating the art, and hating the people who tell you how great the art is. I definitely HATE when people tell me how good a movie is that I didn't like. "You didn't understand it" "You have to know the backstory" "You should read the book first" blah blah blah go die. But I don't seem to be passionate enough in my hate for the actual "art" (movie).

This. I saw a Kubrick doc when I was like 22 and they were talking about how epic 2001 was and how Spielberg called it "the 'big bang' for directors". So I rented it and thought it was the most dry, boring, terrible thing I'd ever seen. I asked my dad why people think that is good. Then, maybe 5 years later I watched it again and thought it was actually good. Then maybe a couple days later I watched it a third time and thought it was one of the best films I've ever seen. Also, I don't think I've seen 2010, but I don't think it has anything to do with that movie. I wouldn't relate the two but on a superficial level only.

This is one of my favorite movies but I can agree with you about the people. You gotta have at least 1 person to "root for" methinks. DeNiro was supposed to be that guy, but I think they went too far with the rape scene. I think Leone lost some sympathy with that scene. The rest I could buy - poor turn-of-the-century kids growing up to be dastardly - not hard to buy. But the rape scene was kinda cringeworthy. It was like "WTF?"

I still don't know if he jumps in that compactor or not. It's obviously implied but it's hard to believe.

Well his is lying, after all.

My kid drew you a picture.

Hate is a waste of time and energy in regards to movies (and most other things too). Indifference is best. Like what I feel about this thread.

-Zeno

QED I think.

I like Shawshank but I think it's one of, if not the, most overrated movies of all-time. I can completely understand and sympathize with the HATE found in this thread. But I think it's very good.

The Phantom Menace for putting a stain on a great franchise. Likewise for Alien 3.

But hey!
