Most boring film you've ever seen?

[GunpowderGelatine]

I'm watching On Chesil Beach and I can't remember the last time I watched a film this dull. Only sticking with it to see how they do the, ahem, early arrival part. Thinking about it the book was fairly shite too.

What's the most boring film you've ever seen so I can avoid nights like this

It's funny how many posters complain that "that is 2 hours of my life I'll never get back". Spoiler alert... you don't get any hours back. Spend them wisely! (Not taking my own advice of course).

OP - you are wrong. On Chesil Beach is a great book, precisely because it's slow, and the film captured that perfectly. So there.

Most dull film I've ever seen was Salmon fishing in the Yemen. YAWN.

Never seen the film but the ending of the book made me want to throw the book away thatmustbenigelwiththebrie

Most recently I was very bored by the second half of A Star Is Born - it was SO self indulgent. But I accept that I'm in a minority with that one.

Well, a minority of two, as I'd agree. I did stay to the end, but got up to go as soon as the credits rolled, as I had a bus to catch, and the weeping people in my row that I had to edge past gave me wet-eyed daggers as if I had just started tap-dancing on Jack's coffin.

Oh, and Brokeback Mountain. Gorgeous scenery and camera work but it just reminded me of a very dull drive through very beautiful countryside with some hunky but very boring men.

Salmon fishing in the Yemen.

I really liked that film. 😊

Blue by Derek Jarman

I feel like with this type of thread you need to divulge your own favourite film(s) as well, so that your judgement can be properly qualified.

The Hand That Rocked The Cradle. (it’s dire)

The Hand that Rocked the Cradle was hilarious.

Friend has bad asthma and we were all taking the p out of her. Mind you she was taking the p out of herself.

Add to that I had just had a green house put up none of us could stop laughing.

I also thought The Hand That Rocked the Cradle was hilarious. I admit that even someone saying 'Peyton Flanders' cracks me up.

Favourite? Cinema Paradiso, the short Palme d'Or winner, not the awful and longer, director's cut. Whoever edited the film into what it became should also have an award. Chalk and cheese.

Gone with the wind (it went on and on and on)

Ha ha. I have seen this thread but not clicked on it until today as I have an entry only to discover it is the film that inspired the thread! On Chesil Beach. Fuck me get on with it. And I love a 'slow' film.

Mad Max

Mr Turner.

Someone needs to tell Timothy Spall to put some clothes on. Holy fuck.

Barry Lyndon (supposedly a Kubrick masterpiece . Although I can't actually say I've seen it, as we walked out an interminable half way through

@FissionChips it was open water and I came here to say that too!

Into the wild. Made me both bored and weirdly uncomfortable. A friend gave it to me and it went to the charity shop shortly after!

The Seventh Seal.
Death in Venice.

I loved Talented Mr Ripley!

Thank you QuestionableMouse, the name of it has been bugging me for years.

PaddyF0dder - Mr Turner? Wow I thought that was one of the best films I'd ever seen! It's great that we're all different I guess.
