Dirty dancing and Jurassic Park.

DuggeesWoggle · 26/05/2019 21:27

Mary Poppins. I remember my friend making me watch it over and over. I thought it was terrible!

chuckyeggtimestwo · 26/05/2019 21:29

SoleBizzz - im sorry but you clearly have something quite wrong with you. I agree that titanic is extremely cringey.

Mine is flashdance. Ive tried to watch it twice and got really bored. Maybe need to try it again now im older!

The Hangover

GinUnicorn · 26/05/2019 21:32

So agree with Dirty Dancing! I think it's bloody awful!

Petalflowers · 26/05/2019 21:47

ET - tried watching it several times, but can’t ‘get’ it.

Dirty Dancing, The Goonies

TheNavigator · 26/05/2019 21:49

Pretty Woman - just so vile & creepy. I was in my early 20s when it came out and was aghast people saw it as a romantic film. I judged them (still do).

Willowkoko · 26/05/2019 21:49

Clueless... what actually happens in that film? I get there’s some good quotes but where was the plot?

PinkBuffalo · 26/05/2019 21:52

Also Dirty Dancing and The Goonies
Couldn't watch all of dirty dancing, I gave it a go though!
Even now my adult friends will rave over The Goonies if it's on, but I've never got it!
Titanic The film was awful! But huge when I was at school. No one understood what my problem was Grin
(Even now I like films more like mission impossible and the like)

Grease Blush

Justaboutawake · 26/05/2019 21:55

Yes to the Goonies. Just don’t get the hype and people can only ever quote a 3 word line!

Clueless was apparently loosely based on Austen’s Emma. Pointless fluff but I did enjoy the fashion

Labyrinth

Hate it. Love Bowie but despised the puppets and the hands in the tunnel. The oubliette and the big machine thing haunted my dreams for years.

I dread my kids asking to watch it as it's on Netflix!!

ShitArmBadTattoo · 26/05/2019 22:05

Pretty in Pink, and Molly Ringwald in general - never understood the hype 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gertie75 · 26/05/2019 22:05
