Home Alone 2 was so much better than Home Alone 1...

What's yours?

I hate Mamma Mia! Thought it was shite. 😬

'It's a Wonderful Life' is tedious mawkish rubbish.

Ghostbusters 2 is better than the original.

I like The Shawshank Redemption but it’s nothing special. I honestly don’t understand why it’s voted the greatest film of all time so often.

How dare you!

Bond films became dull when Daniel Craig was cast. All the knowing fun was sucked out of them and the Bourne films are better at the kind of thing that they now do.

TaupeMember · 01/06/2025 23:33

Star wars is boring tripe.

Mamia is awful.

Rewatched the never ending story with kids recently and it was absolutely dire.

Yep. I hate the Bond film with Daniel Craig in.

Hard agree.

I reluctantly went to the cinema to watch Mamma Mia with a friend. I almost vomited.

That Thomas the Tank Engine film with Alec Baldwin in it is genius! (Magic Railroad. You can blow your whistle at me anytime fat controller!)

I can't answer this but it's the film I've watched the most times and watch again when I need comfort and familiarity. I can't explain it. Maybe it's the actors.

'Escape from Alcatraz' is legendary for me. Shawshank is very much based on this one.

The hobbit is better than the lord of the rings!

😧Wash your mouth!

Dirty Dancing = meh.

ninjahamster · 01/06/2025 23:41

Die Hard is shit

James Bond movies are shit

JasmineAllen · 01/06/2025 23:42

Titanic, Peter's Friends and Four Weddings and a Funeral are 3 of the worst films ever made. Peter's Friends especially is an absolute abomination.

RedIsNotMyFavouriteColour · 01/06/2025 23:43

Michael Jackson should have played Edward Scissorhands

Marley and me is utter drivel and badly acted and miscast.

Badgersarethebiggestcarnivores · 01/06/2025 23:45

@JasmineAllen I've never seen Peter's Friends but anything that features Stephen Fry heavily has to be tedious.

DrDameKatyDeniseInExile · 01/06/2025 23:46

Grease is utter shite.

And Roger Moore is the only actor to have made Bond films watchable.

Denimrules · 01/06/2025 23:47

Lady G and Brad C in Star is Born are shit compared to Babs/Kris

Agree, but Judy Garland version trumps both

goingback · 01/06/2025 23:47

Police Academy movies are great

Pollyanna87 · 01/06/2025 23:48

I watched ‘Past Lives’ on a flight, which got rave reviews. I felt as though I must have been unconscious for a good chunk of the film because literally nothing happens in it.

MyDelma · 01/06/2025 23:48

Saving Private Ryan is shit. It could perhaps have been watchable if Tom Hanks had successfully secured Omaha Beach using only his enormous, empty forehead. Alas, this didn't happen.

murasaki · 01/06/2025 23:50

Airplane is not funny. Top Secret uses the same joke strategy and is way better.

I watched it for the first time recently, and I was open-mouthed at the awfulness of it 😆

And I couldn’t stop thinking, “He killed a woman and his wife is ridiculous!”
