Pssst, you've got the question the wrong way round...Little Duck said:
But I *&$%ing love that film too, it's the only film I own from the all-time low score list on metacritic.com
And generally I've been disappointed by some of the answers here, I mean most of the criticism has been of the big popular stuff which anyone with brain cells that don't huddle together for warmth will know is rubbish. Which is not entirely separate from it being enjoyable.
For me though, Sideways. I hate it. The central characters are a loser/arsehole and an arsehole/loser - I managed to force myself to sit through the whole thing really on the hope they'd die a hilarious and ridiculously painful death.
i believe the word you're looking for is cinematography. which has nothing to do with the actor, btw. i often enjoy bad movies, it's an opinion. it doesn't mean i know any more or less than anyone else, so statements like that are just a bit on the ridiculous side.RAND00M said:
now a little more on topic, i really didn't like Finding Nemo as much as everyone else around me did. same with Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Dead snow. My friends made me watch it, and it was full of plot holes, cheesy one-liners and many a deus-ex machinimas (Seriously, WHERE did he get that machine gun from?). Yet they found it hilarious, I just laughed at the absurdity of the whole thing.
I hated both of the Transformer films, any Batman film without Adam West, Twilight and Star Wars
District 9. All my friends have seen it like half a dozen times and I'm still regreting seeing it once.
Where do I begin...?
The Shining
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill 1&2
Reservoir Dogs (fskit, EVERY Tarantino movie save for Inglourious Basterds)
Boondock Saints (upon 2nd viewing-I admit, I thought it was awesome the first time...)
Slumdog Millionaire
Scarface
's all I could come up with at this hour. it's past my bedtime, dangit...

Sin City, Pan's Labyrinth, Star Trek (the new one), Boondock Saints, Clerks 2, and all those damn 3D-animated family/kids' movies like Madagascar, Ice Age, etc. which other parents are always pushing on me and my kid (except Wall-E - that one's good).
People... everyone else didn't love Twilight. Everyone bar the minority of obsessive teen girls thought it was shit!
For me, I was recommended Death Proof by a friend, the Quentin Tarantino film. All I can say is that it's woefully terrible, multiple hours of poorly written dialog, a stagnant plot that goes nowhere... I gave up befpre the end.

Ehh, I'll probably get slated for most of these.
Titanic: absolute torture from start to finish, and that sodding song just capped it off.
Forrest Gump: I tried to watch it twice. I fell asleep half way through each time. Given my tendency for insomnia, that's a real achievement.
Anything featuring Jack Black, Will Ferrell or Owen Wilson: because they're absolutely insufferable.
Anything featuring Jim Carrey (except Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, which was brilliant): see above, I guess.
Star: Wars, Trek, Gate, -ship Troopers... anything else with a title involving the word Star. I just don't care about space, aliens, robots, any of that nonsense.
Withnail & I: utterly boring. I got the DVD for £2 and still felt ripped off.
Anything featuring Sacha Baron Cohen: Borat is the worst film I've ever seen in my entire life. Ali G is slightly less horrendous but still awful, and I haven't seen Bruno but I didn't like the character when it was on TV so I reckon I'm justified in avoiding it.
Maybe more later, when I'm done dealing with all the hate messages and quotes telling me how wrong I am for everything on this list.
