Field is Dreams is a crap film, so is Withnail & I

[plastique]

I've pretended to like Field of Dreams for at least 10 years.. It's utter nonsense! Brought it up today with a mate.. Haha she hates Withnail & I but has always maintained she was a fan!!! If you understand where we're coming from. What film to you secretly hate that everyone else apparently loves ???

How Eat Pray Love ever got published let alone made into a film is beyond me.

Vanilla Sky starts off promising then turns into weird dross.

Company Of Wolves is frigging awesome

One Day is a v. annoying film too but I can't remember why.

Nooo truly madly deeply is a wonderful film HOW VERY DARE YOU

Vanilla Sky, oh god, how could I forget?

SHAITE.

Atonement was overrated & crap. I just don't get the appeal of Keira Knightley as an actress, she just doesn't have a sympathetic screen persona to me.

Someone said Goodfellers ????

Atonement does that have James McAvoy and Kiera Knightley in it? If it is the film i think it is was very disturbing hated it

Tropezienne you must be mistaken

Goodfellas is the best film ever it's a well known fact

I must be easily pleased I like most of the films people have mentioned.

Shocked at the hate for Dirty Dancing though. Great film.

Only things I dislike are

Apocalypse Now (tedious)
Any musical (not including Rocky Horror)
500 Days of Summer (good soundtrack but he was annoying)
Love Actually (no explaination needed for that one).

Truly Madly Deeply. I still have nightmares about the 'hopping scene'.

ah yes the hopping scene. Put me off that film forever. Cringe.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being..
which was actually..the Unbearable Pain of watching it.

My faith in humanity is restored every time I see a poster nominate 'Love Actually' as a film they loathe and detest.
It really is the biggest pile of badly scripted, badly acted, sentimentalised and exploitative crap.
Richard Curtis is not exactly known for cinematic classics but LA really takes the biscuit. I cringe for whoever blithely informs me that it is their Christmas favourite... how can you have two brain cells to rub together and not loathe and detest this pile of poo?

I also totally agree with PP about Keira Knightley. Truly the most overrated actress of the past decade. Cannot act her way out of a wet paper bag.
However from a time when it seemed that KK got every lead in every major film going it now appears to have gone quiet on that front... I am hoping that the film studios are finally waking up to what an unsympathetic, wooden, gurning actor she is and are instead offering parts to other, better female leads... or it may just be that KK has had a baby and once she is off maternity leave will be back to 'delight' us with her presence again...

Yes Mrsjayy that's it, and it's really crap, 2 endings-so irritating.

The whole film was 'look at all this awful stuff happening' and I struggled to care.

I can honestly say the length of Avatar was not a problem for me. This is because after round about 40 minutes of it (we were trying to give it a fair wind) the entire family unanimously voted to switch it off and none of us ever even tried to watch it again. When I read reviews of films on IMDB I know that anyone who adversely compares it to Avatar is an idiot and their views will automatically not be worth considering. Mind you I love most sci-fi, fantasy and superhero movies and don't think the LotR trilogy was one minute too long because it was so beautiful. I'd happily sit through 24 hours' worth just for the bit where the beacons light up over the mountains. That's art, that is.

"Each to his own" is basically the bottom line here. Stand up for what you believe in. Or if you want to keep the friendships, find a diplomatic way of stepping out of the discussion of something you loathe. "It wasn't really my kind of film" sort of replies, not "but it was a pile of shite" because that is rude to say to the face of someone who loves it. Fortunately we can say it here :)

Ah right badabing Atonement was just grim viewing

Amelie.

Can't stand that film. But I don't make a secret of it

Also hate The Perfect Storm or anything else where everyone dies.

Field of Dreams? Love it.
Withnail & I? Hate it.
It's A Wonderful Life? Love it.
Rocky Horror Show? Hate it.
Eyes Wide Shut? Love it.
Lost in Translation? Hate it.
Company of Wolves? Love it.
Guardians of the Galaxy? Hate it.
Shawshank Redemption? Love it.
Elf? Hate it.

I'm saddened beyond belief that some survey or other has found that Love Actually is the nation's favourite Xmas film. I don't know who they must have asked. Richard Curtis and his immediate family, perhaps. Everyone I know wants to vomit over it, not watch it.

Hear hear Shatner!
Who on earth commissioned this survey and which mentally deficient people did they ask to nominate their Christmas favourite

Love Withnail and I but we did have a cottage in Wales in the 70s and I did a lot of drugs as a student so I can relate to it a lot.

Hated Mama Mia and was taken by a friend who had already been and loved it and kept looking over at me with a look of joy shining in her eyes. Thought it was so truly awful.

Shatner another here who agrees with that. I hate RC films; same bumbling man and irritatingly sassy woman in every single one.

YYY to Amelie. Top flight shite. Even beats Mama Mia to the crown of shame and that's saying something.

'We've come on holiday by mistake'

I love Amelie.

I kid you not Enthusiasm. Someone up thread said Goodfellers! Each to their own and all, but c'mon that's going too far!!! Goodfellers is a classic. Scorceses's best IMO.

Withnail and I was not a great film, but it was quite funny. I think every English man I've ever met has liked it. I'm not usually very sensitive to these things, but I do remember thinking it was a little bit homophobic. Just me perhaps?

Amelie was absolute rubbish. I've never forgiven Audrey Tautou for that drivel. I remember a reviewer at the time who said: It was like being taken to a French Restaurant and force-fed every dessert on the menu.
