I've pretended to like Field of Dreams for at least 10 years.. It's utter nonsense! Brought it up today with a mate.. Haha she hates Withnail & I but has always maintained she was a fan!!! If you understand where we're coming from. What film to you secretly hate that everyone else apparently loves ???

Titanic - pile of shite - as if the death of hundreds of people isn't drama enough they have to have a fucking stupid love story

Mrs Doubtfire. I've tried to watch it three times but just can't get past the first half an hour. It's just not funny.

Stand By Me.
Most of my family and friends think it's a great film - I don't disagree, but find it depressing.

I agree about Withnail. It became a cult and i didnt get it. It is dated now. The lack of cars on the road make me smile though..
I didnt like Hot Fuzz but pretended i did as my sons love Pegg and Frost films so much.

I love Field of Dreams, I'm watching it now.

I don't pretend to like any films. If I don't like them, I just tune out. These would include pretty much any Amerrican Christmas films that are on nearly every channel at the moment.

Atonement
American Beauty
Inception
Interstellar
Twelve Years a Slave

All massively overrated. I'm sure I have more too.

I don't mind Field of Dreams and I will adore Withnail until my dying day.

Mrs Doubtfire is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I'm sure it worked well as a book.

Loved Titanic, though!

Another popular film I really dislike is It's A Wonderful Life. Mawkish, depressing and overly long. Yes, it all turns out OK in the end but for me, it's too little payback for all the misery.

I don't like Withnail and I, either. I suspect I saw it too late in life: maybe you have to be a drunken, impoverished student to appreciate it.

Films where there is a 'clever' twist - the usual suspects or the sixth sense spring to mind.

Withnail and I is okay apart from that one character that turns up twice in their apartment and gives rambling monologues.

But the shocking thing in this thread is that someone secretly hates Mrs Brown's Boys...why keep that a secret?

Me too. I don't like Jimmy Stewart. I think he's a bit creepy, although I know his persona was meant to be of an adorable all-American type.
