And why
I have two
Wimbledon - so bad my maths teacher turned it off after 5 minutes
Angus thongs and perfect snogging - just girls chasing boys - worst plot line ever

All of the Lord of The rings films

Watched them all with DH at the cinema...best sleeps I have had for ages. Fell asleep watching a fighting scene..woke up to a fighting scene..

@onthenaughtystepagain I agree with you about Titanic, as I said earlier, it took 2 hours of film before the ship hit the iceberg, which was kind of the main part of the film!!

The secretary. Honestly first time i ever wanted to leave the cinema. Dh (then dboyfriend) and i hate to sit through it as friend we were with seemed to be enjoying it. Afterwards he was all this is the best film ever. Dh not a friend with him now due to distance and he moving abroad but honestly waste of two hours of my life.

Dark Crimes with Jim Carey. Carey is usually in okay films right? Not in this one. Sat down to watch it with 15 year old DS, and knew things weren’t going to end well when opening scene involved men walking out of a dungeon guiding naked women on leads. Embarassng doesn’t come close to describing sitting watching this movie with DS who wanted to carry on watching it in presence of DM!

Well, can I add a new one - last night I watched A Star is Born (1976 version) with Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand. Explains a lot about how Reagan became president in 1980 because everyone in it was completely unbearable while being supposedly hip and with it, daddio. Stupid plot about nothing at all, everyone constantly high or pissed or both, violently annoying characters. Gary Busey quite cute as a young 'un. Bleurgh.

SisterFarAway · 25/02/2019 14:33

The Dark, about 15 years or so ago. I don't know why I wasted money on this rubbish.

The Greatest Showman.
The dullest hours of my life.

thecatsthecats · 25/02/2019 15:34

Nocturnal Animals. Fairly tediuos shock-plot interspersed with shots of Amy Adams sitting staring into space feeling EMOTIONS whilst she read a book. Fucking garbage.

Ocean's Eight. Thoroughly unlikeable women decide to steal some jewels, face no challenges whatsoever, and succeed. Blah blah blah. Oh and the 'yaaaaaaay, female empowerment' stuff? SPOILER - at the end it shows that a single man stole 10x as many jewels for them than the 8 women did for themselves! FFS.

BartonHollow · 25/02/2019 15:40

Oh cats

I LOVED Nocturnal Animals the whole point especially the end was what a number her ex has managed to pull on her decades after their divorce

thecatsthecats · 25/02/2019 15:47

I understood it perfectly well, I just simulatenously thought it was shite.

BartonHollow · 25/02/2019 16:37

Fair enough

That last scene made me go

Well....FUCKIN HELL

The first 20 mins are very Hmm though

RoboticSealpup · 25/02/2019 16:40

Friends with kids.

The80sweregreat · 25/02/2019 21:05

We gave up on ' truth or dare'
Awful film.

Mmmhmmokdear · 25/02/2019 21:23

The Happening. Good lord, nothing happened.

The80sweregreat · 25/02/2019 21:25

Blended with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore was on yesterday. Another predictable rom com! I'm getting old I think.

Leighhalfpennysthigh · 25/02/2019 21:54

Any film described as heart warming. Ugh

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 25/02/2019 21:55

Wild Wild West was a load of old plop. It made no sense whatsoever.

There was another one that I remember seeing in my local arthouse cinema when I lived in central Europe (genuine arthouse, not using that as a euphemism for 'adult'!) - no idea now what it was called though.

There were subtitles, but not all that much dialogue anyway. It was mainly about all the exciting things that a creepy bloke did with his girlfriend - going on the boating lake, taking her back to his for dinner and for a relax in front of the TV etc.

She didn't object to joining in with any of his plans. Largely, I suppose, because she was dead when he'd met/found her on the bank of a canal and taken a shine to her.

It didn't help that the creepy man reminded me VERY much of my landlord, who was pleasant enough but almost exactly like the cleaner from Black Books (the one who strokes everything with his finger and exclaims "Dirty!!"). Also that I was the only person in the auditorium, which would have made it awkward to say the least to walk out.

I was on my own, didn't know many people and had seen all of the other films in their programme for that week (some more than once).

I can't honestly say that my life is now any the richer for having experienced that film.

Jupiters · 25/02/2019 22:26

Birdman. There are just no words I can adequately use to describe it.

Nothinglefttochoose · 26/02/2019 07:04

The mask. Jim Carey. Urgh

zingally · 26/02/2019 08:25

The Butterfly Effect. Watched it with a friend, years ago. She loved it, I fell asleep.

AccidentallyRunToWindsor · 02/03/2019 07:33

Howl. Was on Amazon prime and watched it last weekend, dire.

twattymctwatterson · 02/03/2019 22:35

Rumour Has it will Kevin Costner was actually offensively bad. Also watched King Arthur the other night knowing it would be bad but thinking Charlie Hunman's beautiful face would make it at least vaguely watchable. I was so wrong. It had no story and I still can't work out what happened.

TriciaH87 · 02/03/2019 23:37

Jarhead. My bf bought it on our first Valentines day. Was told it was good well it was the most dull film we have ever seen the last 2 minutes the action is just about ready to start and then the credits roll. He said next morning was he too drunk to get into the film(3pints so not alot) and i told him as someone who was sober if he made me ever watch it again hide all things sharp first. 2 hours i will never get back.

LonelyAmongUs · 03/03/2019 00:36

The Exorcist. It's not scary, the acting is terrible but it delivers some cracking comedy value and one-liners.

Your mother sucks cocks in Hell, being one.

AlliKaneErikson · 03/03/2019 01:02

Natural Born Killers and The Emoji Movie. Possibly two films that have never before appeared in the same sentence...both awful.
