Yeah yeah yeah I know greatest movie ever made. Sorry I just couldn't get into any of the Lord of the ring movies. I do like the 1977 Hobbit cartoon movie though.

Lord of the Rings

-

Fifty Shades of Grey

.

Some Marvel and DC movies...as a kid ,I would´ve loved to see so many superhero flicks but these days it just feels like overkill to me. I still like them, but....not the way I used to.

Dammit, you started the same thread as me.

Similar but different. Critically acclaimed movies doesn't mean that everybody loves them.

"Jerry Maguire" (1996). Never saw the fascination that people had with that movie. And after seeing the way Cuba Gooding Jr. acted while accepting his award for his role.........

I don't know anyone who likes Fifty Shades of Grey?

It's one everyone talks about, but not a critical success. Their chemistry was flatter than old dish water.

Gone With The Wind: Four hours of a whiny, self-entitled, spoiled white woman.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture: There's Chinese water torture. Then there's this.

Not really

Star Wars I remember when it came out and I kept going back to it to finally get why people liked it so much, but it never really appealed to me. In retrospect, I can appreciate it more in contrast to the extremely dull sequals (except Empire), but it wouldn't have made my top 20 movies of the year it was released.

Maybe because it was on last night when I was channel surfing....but I'm also going to pick "The Bodyguard" (1992). Never cared for the movie or the soundtrack...(sorry!)

Not to surprising since there are people who don't like sci-fi (just about all of my ex-girl friends)

Anyone who ever watched Seinfeld knows that it's very dangerous to dislike The English Patient.

I HATE IT!!

I'm guessing the English Patient and not Seinfeld

Yeah. I'm quoting Elaine when she and Peterman go to see it and she's clearly not enjoying it and he leans over and asks "You don't like the movie?" and she just explodes and screams "I HATE IT!". I know exactly how she feels too. It's a terrible movie. The English Patient was also referenced in the Irish sitcom "Father Ted". Graham Norton played a really annoying prick in it and I think his character is summed up by his thoughts on that movie. "I liked The English Patient. It was very far fetched and very very boring. It was my kind of film".

My roommate knows it by heart. I walked in one time and he had it going, trying to show it to a friend. The friend had his eyes wide open as if trying to stay awake. I think he hypnotized himself or something. I broke up the party and saved him.

The roommate still enjoyed it, but I told him flat out, "it's a horrible movie!" Just start with ST:The Wrath of Kahn and go from there.

I remember my dad dragging all of us to see it when it came out December 1979. BORING.

The premise of the movie was interesting but man did this movie dragged big time. The debate of which Star trek movie is worse, Part 1 or part 5 continues.

The Dark Knight. Although it's not that I hate it, exactly, I just feel that it's massively overrated.

All the Chris Nolan movies were overrated

I liked Batman Begins. I didn't love it. But I did like it. The Dark Knight was ok but also kind of boring in parts. The Dark Knight Rises was fucking awful. I'd rather watch Batman Forever and Batman & Robin in a back to back double bill than watch Dark Knight Rises again.

A mix bag for you. For me I liked half of the Dark Knight and that's about it.

I feel the same about Quentin Tarantino movies. And please, don't try to sell me on any of them. It'll fall on deaf ears. (Look at you Emma. LOL)
