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 ???

I'm stealing that précis.

MrsJayy · 13/12/2016 11:45

Tis true though that is all that happens im sure i fell asleep and woke up at the same scene

SapphireStrange · 13/12/2016 11:48

The Bored of the Rings films are self-indulgent shit. Someone needed to tell Peter Jackson 'no'. Viggo Mortensen's hot in that one though, you know the one I mean.

Mary Poppins is a MASTERPIECE.

There are spider interludes in both hobbit and lotr. They stick in my mind.

I had to read The Hobbit out loud this year..I am not doing lotr.

MrsJayy · 13/12/2016 11:52

Must have been asleep at spider scenes,

FrostyLeaves · 13/12/2016 11:54

Walking covers most of it tbh.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 13/12/2016 11:56

I remember feeling all adrift because I loathed The Company of Wolves when it came out and so many people declare it to be one of their favourite ever films. It was certainly the film everyone was raving about at the time.

Otoh, I love Dumb & Dumber and Ace Ventura so that probably tells you something about me Grin.

MrsJayy · 13/12/2016 12:04

Lost in translation was a bit shit I watched it on Tv it got rave reveiws I was waiting on something to happen it never did.

Itmustbemyage · 13/12/2016 12:17

Avatar - sooo long I was almost losing the will to live
Any Woody Allen films - self indulgent rubbish
Star Wars films - especially the prequel ones
All those "found footage" films - utter shite
Braveheart - awful and used by the SNP as propaganda

I like The Rocky Horror Picture Show but for anyone who didn't I would suggest watching the remake it's so awful , it makes the original look like a masterpiece.

MrsJayy · 13/12/2016 12:21

I watched Avatar on a flight to Florida it was ok to pass a few hours

MrsJayy · 13/12/2016 12:23

I live in Braveheart country my god it was everywhere there is even a mel statue at wallaces monument

FairyDogMother11 · 13/12/2016 12:51

Eyes Wide Shut, it had really good reviews but it annoyed me greatly. Nothing happened! Things just kept NEARLY happening.

Agree with PP about Atonement, found it tedious but also a bit disturbing. I also hate Mamma Mia. I love musicals but that left me cringing.

50 Shades of Grey - hated the books and I made it approximately three minutes into the film. Dialogue is dire to be polite.

The Fault in Our Stars - again, hated the book. Marginally better as a film, but I just couldn't enjoy the book as I didn't feel like it felt like it was written from a teenage girls perspective. I know that's not a popular opinion though.

Footinmouthasusual · 13/12/2016 12:57

Love field of dreams Grin

Eat pray love absolute shit ditto dirty dancing

MrsJayy · 13/12/2016 13:06

Eyes wide shut was just terrible was it about secret sex cult or not i have no clue.

Eat pray love is an extended inspirational quote its a heavetastic pile of pish

alltoomuchrightnow · 13/12/2016 13:12

I was forced to watch Grosse Pointe Blanke by my brother as 'you'll love it'.
I did not. At all.
I hate The Blues Brothers too. In fact, hate a lot of cult films. When I was at college we had Blues Brothers nights, it was illegal to hate them. I didn't fit in very well :)
But Field of Dreams and Withnail?? - never!! (as in, never will hate).

alltoomuchrightnow · 13/12/2016 13:15

also hate.. anything with Mr Bean and Will Ferrell
(but most comedies TBH)
Mad Max
Lethal Weapon and similar
Mrs Brown's Boys is my most most hated though

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 13/12/2016 13:20

Lord of the Rings snooze fest
Withnail & I - I don't get what is so funny
All Monty Python films
Star Wars

I wouldn't be able to sit through Eat Pray Love it would be absolute torture I read the book that I had to skip parts of it. It is the most self indulgent self absorbed nonsense piece of rubbish I have ever read its awful

SoberSusan · 13/12/2016 13:23

Scrubbers! Grin Whithnail is fantastic!

Agree that big lebowski is utter cr*p.

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 13/12/2016 13:26

Awww, I love The Fault In Our Stars - DH wasn't keen on watching it at all, but he was in tears by the end. Same with MIL! I can see how some wouldn't like it though - I agree it doesn't seem very 'teenage' in parts, but maybe a terminal cancer diagnosis at that age means Hazel's character became quite prematurely jaded?

Eyes Wide Shut was excruciating. American Mary was DREADFUL. All and any Fast And Furious film - absolute drivel.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 13/12/2016 16:03

I loved Big Lebowski/Fargo etc. I haven't seen Fault in Our Stars yet, it looks a bit mawkish. Eyes Wide Shut was the most unsexy film with sex in it Confused Utter crap.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 13/12/2016 16:05

Oh I saw five minutes of Eat, Pray Love and had to switch off, pretentious wankery.

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 13/12/2016 16:30

The very idea of Eat, Pray, Love makes my eye twitch.

How could I forget the worst film ever made? Truly, Madly, Deeply

The80sweregreat · 13/12/2016 17:41

Agree about eat , pray , love.
Really did lose the will to live. Self indulgent nonsense.

Jennifer Aniston also makes tedious films. Remember turning one off after 20 minutes but cant temember which one now!
