I didn't think a movie could make me sick of watching people get shot in the head, but that movie made me sick of watching people get shot in the head.


If Marky Mark hadn't shot Damon in the head I would have just for his shitty, annoying Boston accent.

As far as Titanic goes, I enjoy it for the history aspect. And tits. Can't stand Dicaprio's character screaming Rose repeatedly.

Woody Allen movies are a non-starter for me.

All Star Wars movies even though I've only seen the first three. Including the original in the theater when first released. Rewatched them, the originals, a few months ago for the first time since the 80s and they haven't aged well. Seemed more like kids movies to me than blockbusters.

2001 A Space Odyssey put me to sleep.

The Big Lebowski sucks other than a few memorable lines.

I think whether or not someone likes TBL is completely dependent on what stage in their life they first saw it

Five Easy Pieces. I thought it was dull, and every character was unlikeable.
I like the first half, set in the Bakersfield oil fields

The second half, after the diner scene, is very dull

I tried watching it twice, about 50 years apart, fell asleep both times.
I've never been able to sit through The Sound Of Music.

How does it end? I hope the Nazis caught up w/ those annoying brats

Easy Rider
I saw this when I was a teenager, about 15 yrs after it came out.

I couldn't believe how bad it was. Aside from Nicholson & the soundtrack it's awful.

I find it incredible that the same guy wrote this & Dr Strangelove

It borders on the quality of a school project. Maybe I've never watched it on the right combination of mind altering substances

Forgot to add; There Will be Blood.

Don't care how good of an actor Lewis is, this movie just doesn't get me interested and I've tried watching it a couple times.

Gangs of New York with an honorable mention. Doesn't do much for me either.

Lot of good movies on the list, but this one is truly an awful, awful movie. It does not hold up and I can’t imagine anyone enjoys this movie that watches it now for the first time.

I’ll throw out usual suspects. It’s an entertaining movie. That’s it. Whatever it is about women that make them like instinctively like momma mia happens with men and this movie.

Pulp Fiction - everything outside of Samuel L. Jackson's character was annoying and hard to watch for me. Also, revived Travolta's career which for me was not a good thing.

Same. You have several top notch actors in this, and the acting performances were meh at best. Much of the story was dumb. I hated every character.

But the big gunfight was pretty damn good.

This is a really good answer to me. Never liked this movie either.

Agree with the ones who say Easy Rider too. Jack was good, but didn't really like it either.

Both are perfect examples of the whole being less than the sum of its parts. On paper both of these should be great but they're both pretty meh.

Maybe not all time overrated, but Napoleon Dynamite wasn't in the least bit funny or entertaining.


I agree. It’s like a series of build ups for jokes with no punchlines.
