Your LEAST favourite films of all time
I think we've had lots of favourite film threads, but i don't remember looking at the flipside.
So inspired by the talk of Lynch's Inland Empire in the Black Swan thread, what films did you absolutely fucking hate?

The Knowing
The Dark Knight
are the first 2 which spring to mind, I'm sure I'll be able to add plenty more once I have a good think about it.

I tend to avoid anything that gets a universal panning, so these are probably a bit more divisive, but the three films i remember hating so much that i was in a blind rage upon leaving the cinema are -
1. Inland Empire, obv
2. Avatar
3. Vicky Christina Barcelona
Oh how i despised them.
I tend to only properly hate films i saw at the cinema, because i'm not held captive by anything on tv or dvd. That shit just gets switched off.
Mama Mia (Hated the movie and musical, how could they take such a joyous thing and make it so dreary is beyond me)
This will take a lot of thought
hmmmm..... I tend not to really hate many films as I usually see some value in everything, I'm so easily pleased at the cinema. That said, there's a ton of things I've been proper disappointed by
but I'll see if I can think of the truly hateful first
this is where my beloved flickchart comes in very handy... :geek:
Little Miss Sunshine
Top up, Sue?
Y'know some of the films deemed by BORING CRITICS as the worst ever (Showgirls, Grease 2, I Know Who Killed Me) are amongst my ALL-TIME GREATS.
The one film I cannot abide is The Family Stone. HIDEOUS in every single way. Any movie which makes you sympathise with Sarah Jessica Parker post-Hocus Pocus is CLEARLY doing something wrong. The GAY HISPANIC DEAF ADOPTED SON (who was a VILE CUNT), his BLACK boyfriend and their ASIAN baby was such a horrific plot device that even Benetton were appalled.
ORACLE of great taste Jark loves The Family Stone.
Says it all really.

So even with the shit story, script and acting which lovers of the film have even admitted to, visually it's crap for me too.

I HATE that film. EVERY character was utterly vile.
Sex And The City.
When the best moment in the movie is one of the protagonists shitting themselves, you know it's dreck.
You are a depraved bird of hate, get out of my sight!

We'll feel the rhythm of the evening taking us up high
Never mind the weather
We'll be dancing in the street until the morning light
What dark recess of your brain did you pull SUBURBAN COMMANDO from?
I take it that you haven't seen Grown Ups.
I liked Richie Rich

Oh that is SHIT but any film with SPADEFACE Keira normally is.
Bill Nighy is AWFUL. I don't see his appeal.

The Dark Knight was shit.

Please buy my stuff, I do crazy bag discount
flickchart captures every film you rank and then orders them for you so after a while you build up a huge list based on what you've ranked. I go in there every few weeks and add what I've seen recently. It's the first time I've ever ordered and looked at them from the bottom end - what a USELESS selection of movies! I mean THE MASK for instance - I remember liking it at the time about 20 years ago but in what lifetime will I EVER watch THAT again?What dark recess of your brain did you pull SUBURBAN COMMANDO from?
Oh Christ I had actually FORGOTTEN about him. There really is so SO much to despise about that wretched film.
no.
that's the other thing - not many i truly hate based on sheer "how was this ever released?" bewilderment as I tend to know in advance what I'm going to hate so won't watch it. FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY for instance
sometimes though something you expect to at least enjoy renders you utterly speechless. Dreamcatchers, The Island and 1408 are the three that immediately spring to mind.
The Jim Carrey 'The Mask'? Christ alive, that's 17 years old. HOW?
I LOVE LOVE ACTUALLY
but only on Christmas Eve
The only thing good about Love, Actually is the CLOSING CREDITS
(And that's not just a glib remark, I love the song)
It's only positive is that it failed to launch the career of the British J-Lo.
That ALICE IN WONDERLAND shit from last year.
Top up, Sue?
I've only ever seen snippets from The Mask 2 on telly so can't count it but based on that alone it'd definitely put it up at the very top.
It's the guy from Scream isn't it? Talk about a career killer. From that to playing a dirty rent boy in As Good As It Gets, to complete NOTHING
The only two (I THINK) films I have walked out of are
Spawn and Snow Cake (that's your cue funks!)

God bless Sigourney Weaver. I bet she spent three years preparing for that role expecting her second Oscar
I don't know anyone with extreme autism so can't really say if she was any good, but I like that film purely because Alan Rickman is in it. ACTING GOD.
I can't imagine many of you have had the misfortune to see Halloween:Resurrection but it's catastrophically bad. All the good work from H20 undone by Busta Rhymes KUNG-FUING MICHAEL MYERS TO DEATH.
APOLS if that was a spoiler BTW.
