Zombie movies. Not scary or entertaining to me. Dystopian future movies based on horribly flawed premises. Vulgar talking teddy bear movies. Will Farrel or Jim Carey in anything. Now get off my lawn! I agree, and don't walk in my driveway when you get off of his lawn, lol. |

Hands down Skateboard Kid 2, Iron Eagle IV, and Mr. Bean. I mean, I've seen a lot of bad movies but those are experiences you just don't get over.

Sweeny Todd so bad my subconscious blocked it out. Hahahaha I had forgotten it as well. It was pretty to watch with the sound off, but I think art direction and set design were all that one had going for it. |

I cannot tolerate Jim Carry, Will Ferrell or Sasha Baron Cohen, or anything they are in. They make me just wanna hit somebody in the mouth. How did "comedy" every degenerate in such mean, artless buffoonery?

Anything with graphic violence in it. This sh#t needs to be banned in our society, promoting murder, war, rape,blowing body parts around keeps society from advancing. Spending millions of dollars making movies is a huge waste of time and resources just to produce cheap sensationalism. Spend the 500 million used to make a movie instead on stopping the starvation of the 20K people who die each and every day. Now young children daily watch blood splattered drama on TV every night. Watching people die should not be allowed on tv as entertainment, just like the brutal sports like boxing. I was in a restaurant and they had boxing on while all the families had their young children looking up watching two men see if they can be as brutally damaging to one another and beat each others heads to near death as possible. How do you logically explain to a youngchild that we enjoy trying to kill each other with our fist slamming into another person's head to the point of brain damage for our enjoyment?
This is why the Earth will always be considered the "Insane Asylum of the Universe- as nowhere else in the billions of galaxies could there be a planet more screwed up than this one. Only a small fraction of people are intelligent and use their time to advance society. We definitely don't teach our kids in school proper ethics and how to build a nation of conscientious, compassionate humans who treat each others as if they are our personal family members.
Zombies, another ridiculous, repulsive,irrational, huge waste of money and time.
That was fun, I love this place.

"Titanic".
I kept praying for the Germans to torpedo that turkey but then remembered, wrong disaster.
Odd since I enjoyed the 1953 Clifton Webb version and "A Night to Remember".

You certainly covered some ground on that one, Marty!

There are probably quite a few, but the ones that jump immediately to mind are Jerry Maguire (just shoot me) and Xanadu (shoot me again).
Edit - After reading the previous posts, I have to add: Kramer vs Kramer (absolutely hate it), Titanic (don't get me started), and the Disney Star Wars movies (what garbage).

Mr. Bean: Serious question- wasn't that made for the ten-fourteen year old audience? I watched a few minutes of it on TV, had to pass. Everything else I've seen of Atkinson was pretty good. Blackadder above all.

Blackadder above all. I don't think it was specifically made for that audience. I think they had a more general audience. I suppose people who knew and loved Rowan Atkinson perhaps took to it. However, I think it's appeal was the fact that there was little-to-no dialogue so it was successful across the world. And if you see some of the European comedies (other than UK) it fits right in there with some of it. |

I like most movies when the producers really try. And some of the ones that are so bad that they are funny. We regularly like films that are panned by critics.
We also appreciate a film that succeeds in reaching the almost unreachable goal of coming out as intended.
I have rarely laughed so hard as when Jim Carrie crawls out of the rhinoceros. I don't like movies that make me feel real life in a negative way. I like movies as art, and as escapism.

Any films directed by either Anthony Minghella or Zack Snyder. Neither director can make a film whose characters show the least evidence of an internal life. All surface and no soul. Minghella offers trite epics of terminally pretty people in terminally pretty environments fretting over terminally trite concerns during times of great upheaval that just happen to be happening somewhere far in the background.
Zack Snyder is the Cecil B DeMille of our time, only without any talent. Sucker Punch alone should have been enough of have him legally enjoined from having anything whatsoever to do with any aspect of media. His stewardship of the DC Universe has been a disaster, bloated, dead, lifeless, self important crap. And that's me being charitable.

The only director that guarantees me a seat in the theater is Terrence Malick. |

The Pierce Brosnan James Bonds. Was flipping channels and saw one for about five minutes and had to quit.
James is on a big Russian military transport plane that is on fire and going down. He's killed all the bad guys but still has to rescue the girl. In the cargo hold they find a Russian helicopter, and they get inside. The helicopter (not running) falls out of the back of the transport and they plummet to earth.
With no damage at all to the rotors, James of course knows how to start the helo in just a couple of minutes. And yes, he pulls out of the dive by yanking back on the cyclic (not how helicopters work).
It was dreadful. Don't get me started on all the inaccuracies with the L-39 Albatros scene in another one. Now let's have James running from the bad guys on an ostrich while being chased by a hovercraft that shoots fire! Ick.

It made Johny English look like The Third Man! |

I'd still take Goldeneye over Moonraker, Octopussy, or Man with the Golden Gun hands down. |

I'm tainted on the Roger Moore Bonds because I saw them when they first hit theatres when I was little. It was a big family event when the new Bond movie came out. We drove fifty miles to see Golden Gun in London when it premiered. Always hated Roger Moore though. Pretty sure an angry Girl Scout could beat him up.

Well, I could go on and on but, I won't. Just the major offenders to my senses, Any movie with Jim Carey, Will Ferrell, Chris Rock, and others I can't recall right now (thank God!) Most Musicals EXCEPT "Wizard of OZ" (the original) and "Damn Yankee's.
