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

Gravity. Visually stunning but soooooo dull.

Sully with Tom Hanks. I fell asleep.

I've liked a few that have been mentioned and I'm fairly tolerant to the long-winded premise - I have durability - but must admit even I gave up on Benjamin Button. And that one with Jake Gyllenhall when he keeps getting killed in a train explosion or something? Such a promising looking idea but yaawwwn.

I also fall asleep whenever anybody puts any kind of animated film on.

Maisondechats I agree - it has to be a really really good film for me NOT to fall asleep. Especially kids films.

Fences
Pearl Harbour
Black Hawk Down

Lasted approx 20 minutes into those before giving up.

Benjamin Button
The Valley of Elah
There Will Be Blood - not exactly boring just an awful film.

The absolute worst on the boring-o-meter has to be:

All Is Lost starring Robert Redford - there is NO dialogue NONE, NADA. There equally seemed to be absolutely no point to the whole thing.

Oz the great and powerful

Lost in Translation. I was still waiting for something to happen when it ended. Finally.

The English Patient. It was years ago but I still remember the literal pain of boredom.

Old man & the sea. The most boring film & book ever. Had to watch/read this for GCSE. Incredibly dull!

Gutted people don’t like Lord of the Rings! My all time favourite books & films! Absolutely adore it!

Relevent.

Has to be the horrors/cringefests which are GREASE and MAMMA MIA! 😡😡😡. Didn't get beyond the first few minutes of either but have seen several snippets since. My God, dreadful doesn't even touch the sides!

Also, the mega dull Manchester by the Sea - I think that's what it's called. I stuck with it because of the Oscar hype but it was bloody dire.

must admit to loving the English Patient though

Deathly Hallows part 1 was utter dullsville

Watched Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix. Was gripped as its so awful in so many ways I couldn't turn it off . But it's the sheer disbelief that his film has been loosed upon the world that kept me watching. It's boring.

I love The English Patient too.

Pirates of the Caribbean. I don't know why, I imagine they must be quite exciting but I slept through two of them.

I usually enjoy slow films with a lot of chat. But car chases send me off in seconds.

Devine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

Yup, I'll go Close Encounters of the Third Kind too. I went to the cinema when I was a teen just to get out of the cold, I think. Anyway me and my friend decided that, although we'd never heard of it, Spielberg had never let us down before....fuck me, that was a long, boring-ass movie.

Unfortunately I have form for listening to overhyped buzz about films and then watching them.
A 90’s film, Grand Canyon, navel gazing bollocks, a group of rich people do a lot of dithering and over thinking. Nothing happens. I kept waiting for something to happen, and then the credits rolled.
Crash- preachy crap, again nothing happens, apart from a lot of pained searching gazes from actors.
The worst one has to be the film with James Spader and Holly Hunter in it, as pervs who get the horn from car accidents. No idea what was going on during that one.

It was called Crash, it was an awful movie.

Tom Cruise, Magnolia....didn't have a clue?

Life of Pi. Interminable string of random stuff.

Solaris

BaronessBomburst do you mean 'Etre et Avoir'?

Agree with you about French films in general. I never understood the hype about Amélie.

Can't believe how many have put The English Patient!
