Re: Post movies you hate.
One series right off the top of my head:
The Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Mainly because they seem to go on forever.

I get really annoyed by contrarians who hate popular movies just because everyone else likes them. Which is where I assume this thread is going. "Hey you know that super popular movie with all the good reviews? Yeah, I hate that movie!"

Top of the list? Forrest Gump. Mood music for idiot Baby Boomers.

Normally I'd answer Magnolia, but aside from a small but dedicated fan base, that movie was never popular.

I don't think Zombie's Halloween 2 is popular or liked by anybody.

I know this is old but his argument basically boiled down to "If I like them they're great movies. If I don't like them and others do it must just be some kind of heard mentality"

"Popular" wasn't in the thread title when I posted. It was just "post movies you hate" and I fucking hate Halloween II.

You forgot that vile chunk of racist excrement that calls itself Slumdog Millionaire.

Off the top of my head (and reading a few others' posts):

FORREST GUMP
TRUE LIES
TITANIC
AVATAR
MAGNOLIA
AMERICAN BEAUTY
THE TERMINAL
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
UP
GRAVITY
INTERSTELLAR

I'm tempted to say anything by Wes Anderson--except for the fact that I have yet to see anything by Wes Anderson. Maybe I should keep it that way.

P.S. SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

Re: Movies that you hate [merged]
Hmm, I can't think of any offhand. There are many movies I deem terrible, but hate... oh wait, there was some piece of shit (can't remember the title) given to me as a bootleg by my brother-in-law's family, so I felt obligated to watch it even though I figured I would hate it. I didn't get beyond 15 or 20 minutes. Made within the last 5 years and a ripoff of those Twilight-type movies, with an insufferable couple of empty-headed young centerfolds in some vampire or werewolf story. 15 minutes in I was bored as fuck.

I guess the obvious question is: why do you still watch Nolan's movies? At this point you're the one to blame.

It appears to be Little Red Riding Hood (2011). Truly detestable.

Memento was a pretty good flick and Prestige I think is good even though I liked the Illusionist more. Never seen Following but his take on Insomnia is a good cure for insomnia. I also liked Batman Begins and was so excited by the final scene with the reveal and like every one else waited for The Dark Knight. Then I saw it and felt like someone drowned my cat in front of me.

I'll never forget that shit sandwich. From earlier in the thread:

It was PC Hollywood's attempt at patting itself on the back for "making movies about strange brown people". Without any attempt at substantial, meaningful content. Horrible.
Better 2008 movie than Synecdoche, New York? Not even in the same freakin' galaxy...
