The Big Lebowski - just rotten and too long
Rocky Horror Picture Show - creepy, cheap, badly made pish (I don't care if that's the point)
Being John Malcovitch - Flippin' s**t! of the highest order
Hi-Fidelity - moved to Amerika and Jack Flippin' Black's in it!
Mystery Men - just not very good
Love Actually - I only lasted 35mins, so maybe it shouldn't be on here
Stop Making Sense - I'm still waiting to find out what's so Flippin' great about this one, I prefer Anthrax~NFV, now that's a concert!
The Usual Suspects - so Flippin' what?
Bowfinger - couldn't last till the end
Control - 70s Coronation Street with music, dull and depressing
that'll do for now, Scum Dine with MILF is on
*Flippin' has been substituted for another 'f' word

Oh f**k! I forgot the worst offender - Donnie Drecko, many are the ways I detest that one!

Citizen Kane. as a story this is very 'murikan, but it has a great impact for film making.
i agree, Control, as a story, is far from good, but as a picture it's good.

A Beautiful Fecking Mind.

Lost in Translation, not seen it but the descriptions of it make me swerve.
Bill Murray is a serial offender - The Life Acquatic. I lasted 15mins and knew it was "another man's sac".

Boxing movies. They just make me cold, never see the appeal.

Went to see Paranoia at the flicks recently. That was rubbish. Even though Oldman was in it (the only good thing in it actually).
The worst film I can recall is Mamma Mia, but I also paid good money to go and see a film called 'Enter the Void' that runs that a close second.

You're nuts!

I thought The New World of Terrence Malick sucked.

Pearl Harbour.- 3+ hours of my life stolen from me.
The Song Remains The Same. - Badly filmed, badly edited, bad!
Star Trek Into Darkness. - If you're going to make a comedy, then MAKE a damn comedy.
Iron Man III. - Steaming pile of dog's eggs.
The Phantom Menace.- McGregor at his level worst & of course, Binks.

While I'm at it - Fight Club
Total bullshit.
Two hours of being lectured about the vapidity of modern consumerism by a coke ad man and a former underwear model wearing a $5,000 leather jacket and solid gold aviators.
A critique of style over substance that is all style and no substance.

This is England - glorified epsiode of The Bill
The Last Movie - WTF - Boring and s**t
Barry Lyndon - Nice camera work, s**t performances
Star Trek Into Darkness - Disappointing piddle

Wow, an opportunity to spill our Gift for bad movies we don't love
Let's see...hmmm
The Sadist (1963) -
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057465/combined
5 persons tried to watch it and stopped it after 20-25 minutes of VHS playtime (i asked to stop it earlier than that but didn't listened to me)
Disaster Movie (2008) -
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213644/combined
I did the mistake to go and watch it in a cinema and it is the only movie so far that made me leave the room after 10-15 minutes...
Thank God i don't pay ticket to watch movies...
Thank God pt.II it was soon enough to go and see "Burn After Reading" and have a good time
There are some more, but i would like to be good tonite

Kate Beckinsale
Critically (and culturally) Praised Fillums
Nope...don't see the connection
Any old trash featuring, but not exclusively, vampires/werewolves and Kate Beckinsale
I digress,
Reservoir Dogs
