Look here, the great gatsby, princess bride, bond, star wars etc i can give or take BUT:

dirty dancing
The goonies
Labyrinth
Pretty in pink

I just cant believe it! These are just brilliant, brilliant films and if you don’t like them you clearly have a screw loose.
And goodnight! (Il have to leave this thread i’m upsetting myself!)

Grease, Dirty Dancing

@SoleBizzz I was moaning about that bloody film earlier this evening. I’m having a very posh haircut soon, finishing too late to eat out but there’s an open air cinema,
and I’m determined to take it out that night. Dozens of films over the season and that’s the one on that night. Angry

Top Gun

I remember vaguely liking Dirty Dancing at the time but it's unwatchable now. Cringe.

My colleague was horrified that I've never seen dirty dancing. And gave me the DVD. She was not impressed when it was still sitting in my pigeon hole, 2 years later. (I've given it away, still sealed!)

ColdTattyWaitingForSummer · 26/05/2019 22:27

Another vote for the goonies. So many people I know still love it, but I just don’t.

Lemonsquinky · 26/05/2019 22:28

Star Wars. The ugly aliens make me feel squirmy. I don't like the idea that the baddies are always bad. I didn't like the story either.

TitianaTitsling · 26/05/2019 22:29

Braveheart- pure shite!

Dirty dancing
Back to the future

Reasonstobeearful · 26/05/2019 22:31

Dirty Dancing was my immediate thought when I saw this thread OP. It's rubbish.

I love beetlejuice though.

Never saw the point of star wars.

Hadenoughofitall441 · 26/05/2019 22:31

Any Star Wars films... just don’t get the hype

MissLadyM · 26/05/2019 22:32

Pretty Woman is a vile film! She's a fucking whore! Shockingly crass...and most of the others already mentioned but Jaws?!! Wtf it's a masterpiece!

WeWantJustice · 26/05/2019 22:32

Pretty Woman.

Vile

Aimily · 26/05/2019 22:34

Lion King. Still think it's the worst Disney movie ever made, will not be going to see it when it is released.

Etino · 26/05/2019 22:40

@SoleBizzz don’t worry, I’m not going- I will probably take the kids to the pub!

EugenesAxe · 26/05/2019 22:45

People can take or leave The Princess Bride? I’m struggling with that one personally.

Mine was E.T., and The Lost Boys actually.

TheCrowdSayBoSecta · 26/05/2019 22:47

Disney Fantasia - bore off Mickey!

Discontendedpony · 26/05/2019 22:53

Watership Down. My primary school screened in when I was very young. I'm still traumatised today and have never been able to watch it. Horrific film.
