    OK, we have had love-ins for the favorite WWII, non WWII, etc. movies. Which ones would you wish you had NEVER viewed???:eek:

    (Oh, and why did you watch the in the first place????)


    The Way We Where - I wanted to run screaming out of the theater but my wife then (my ex-wife now) would have killed me!

    Fortunately, neither my wife nor I really enjoy going to the movies. There are plenty of bad ones out there, and now through the wonder of DVD, you can actually see them at home.

    One movie I have never seen and hope never to see is The Sound of Music. I gag just seeing ads for it. I've made it 62 years, and, with any luck, will go to my grave in the same condition.

    A few Yucks for movies I regret watching:

    Blood Work. I was bored to tears.
    The Inglorious Bastards. Too many things to list why I hate it.
    PEARLE HARBOR. Need I say more?
    Any of the Friday the 13th movies i've seen. Flat out stupid flix.
    The new version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. More needless gore BS.
    The Blue Lagoon. It boredme to tears.
    Schindlers List. Ditto the above.
    The Constant Gardner. Ditto the above.
    The Boys From Brazil--mainly because I hated seeing Gregory Peck in such a crappy role.

    Too many others to list-but im sure you "get the drift"? ;-))

    Can not stand modern day horror films as I find them crass and plain stupid. One film I found boring and left thinking what was that all about was THX1138 (may have got the title a little wrong) a sci-fi from the early 1970's.

    History of World, Part 1. Thankfully Mel Brooks has not seen fit to produce a Part II. I first saw it in college when I was highly enebriated and thought it was the funniest movie I had ever seen. A few days later, I went back to watch it sober. It stank like 4 day old fish. We could stomach it without the aid of alcohol and left midway through it.

    Out of Africa. Went to see this calamity when I first starting dating my wife. It too us way too long to figure out that we both hated this dud and walked out.

    Little Shop of Horrors. We got our money back on this pile of crap.

    Pearl Harbour and Saving Private Ryan.

    Oh, and Hairspray made me want to jump in front of a bus. When I saw the Police blockade I jumped at the thought it might get interesting (Batons and tear gas?), but I was sorely dissapointed.

    I really hate these underdog films.

    I almost forgot about that piece of $h1+.

    I'd be honored to add "Hudson Hawk" to the list of shame....

    Please Sound of Music is a classic and a rather good movie if you consider the period. Of course this is opinionbased so why don't I just STFU?? :p

    Now, you clearly have never seen a really bad movie. Let me give you some examples. Attention, these movies are so hideous that they actually make you laugh! Or just want to rip your eyeballs out with a rusty blunt object...


    House of Death

    Lepercon 4 - lepercon in space

    Lepercon 5 - lepercon in da hood (now this one also makes you wish to remove your ears since the entire movie is hip-hop oriented and well, horrible)

    The new Steven Seagal movie - Against the dark here, after kicking the ass of every living soul, he starts to beat the hell out of the undead... vampires!!! Talk about a plot twist and a good script :)

    Any Steven Seagal movie

    Shark in Venice - need I say more??

    Rambo III & IV

    anyway, so many movies, so little time...
    :D


    Cheers...

    A good rule of thumb is, the more they advertise the film you can bet it's a load of pants.

    Pearl Harbor stands out like a sore thumb. Sweeney Todd does too.

    Miracle at St. Anna is another, though the boobies in the movie were the only redeeming quality!
