Re: Which movie in your collection do you hate the most?

I think I've gotten rid of anything in the "hate" category. I don't blind buy anything anymore so I know I haven't added any stinkers in years. Occasionally there is something I liked in the theater, then bought it used or on a bargain then wondered why I liked it so much. I have hundreds of movies on the shelf that I never have time to watch. I'm not going to waste any more time or money on crap.

Some of the less than stellar stuff:
Indy 2
Indy 4
The Campaign

Re: Which movie in your collection do you hate the most?

After viewing Michael Cimino's "Heavens Gate" for the very first time this week, I would not put this film as a strong contender for repeat viewings. Though beautifully photographed, at times, Cimino seemed to believe the old west was constantly engulfed by dust and smoke. I even recall Siskel & Ebert humorously pointing this out during a televised review. The film is long and plodding and requires a great deal of patience as the story unfolds. Interestingly, it has become fashionable to regard this film as a "masterpiece" by those who fancy themselves as cinema elitists. I also realize it has earned a great deal of respect recently as critics have "re-evaluated" its merits. But for the most part, I think they got it right the first time. Who knows, it might grow on me eventually but I will really have to be in the mood to invest my time in another viewing.

"The ridiculous scenes are endless. It is the most scandalous cinematic waste I have ever seen, and remember, I've seen Paint Your Wagon." —Roger Ebert

Roger, that!
