Just noticed that awful film Mrs Harris goes to Paris is on TV I saw it at the cinema. Awful and the write up sounded so good. Hated Mama Mia and Barbie too.

Purplecatshopaholic · 29/03/2025 22:50

Love Actually is terrible (apart from Alan Rickman).

The Mrs Harris book is good though.

That airport one with Taron Egerton...Carry-On. Fucking tripe.

Cynic17 · 29/03/2025 22:55

Lord of the Rings (I fell asleep)
Titanic

But I did like Mrs Harris Goes to Paris - it's charming, and Lesley Manville is dab.

Shawshank Redemption. Totally overrated

CoffeeAndEnnui · 29/03/2025 23:02

The Holiday. I'm baffled that some people class it as a beloved Christmas movie. It seems so cheap and naff to me. None of the characters feel like people (lovely Kate Winslet comes closest, but even she can't save it), and, despite the starry cast, the whole plot and aesthetic are Hallmark Channel generic.

babbi · 29/03/2025 23:04

All the Star Wars movies for sure , all the Harry Potter ones ..

MissBattleaxe · 29/03/2025 23:06

Bridesmaids didn't make me laugh once.

Soulcurry · 29/03/2025 23:07

I couldn’t watch more than half hour of La La Land

SirDanielBrackley · 29/03/2025 23:07

All the Star Wars series except the original.
The Shawshank Redemption.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
But all of these pale into insignificance compared to Gangs of New York the worst movie I ever saw in my life.

BrokenLine · 29/03/2025 23:08

Anything by Christopher Nolan. Pop-metaphysical yawnfest.

Anything involving superheroes. If someone is wearing a skintight latex costume and saving the world, I’m already bored.

JeanGenieJean · 29/03/2025 23:10

Titanic- awful cringey tripe.
Mama Mia- all that bloody screaming!
The Elton John biopic (can't remember the name) bored stiff

NPET · 29/03/2025 23:12

LaLa Land and
Braveheart.
The latter is just boring and about halfway thru one of the characters explains all that's happened. So you think "why the f did I have to sit thru it all then?"

CuriousGeorge80 · 29/03/2025 23:12

The English Patient. So boring!

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 29/03/2025 23:24

Agree completely with Mrs Harris—schlocky back-of-fag-packet nonsense. Also The Holiday and Love Actually. I truly cannot understand why these films are so beloved, the dialogue and storytelling is dreadful in all of them.

I got five minutes into Bank of Dave, though I have no idea if that's actually a popular film—surely not?

The Big Lebowski is ridiculous, but some men seem to regard it as the bible.

The Harry Potter films are fairly tolerable up until number four, but after that they are tedious and badly-paced.

I do quite like a Star Wars film, but they're all quite bad (in a fun way), and I don't understand why so many people got wound up about the prequels and sequels, when they were no worse than the originals. The exception being Rise of Skywalker, which has no redeeming features.

Bridesmaids didn't make me laugh once.

Came on to say this.... I hated it.

The jokes seemed to go on for so long, they almost seemed like inside jokes.

Never got the hype about it.

Goldenboysmum · 29/03/2025 23:31

Dirty Dancing, hated it! Apart from the music.

Dolamroth · 29/03/2025 23:33

Everything, Everywhere All at Once.

I thought it was crap.

PeatandDieselfan · 29/03/2025 23:40

Titanic. All these years later, I'm still bitter that's 4 hours of my life I will never get back.

Anything with Jim Carey in it. He gives me the creeps.

Anything with Owen Wilson in it. He makes me feel unwell.

BeaLola · 29/03/2025 23:42

Pulp Fiction

azuresky50 · 29/03/2025 23:43

ALL Marvel movies

faerietales · 29/03/2025 23:44

Star Wars
Titanic
The Holiday
