Films that give you the rage!

Inspired by the excellent thread on songs.

Mine is Titanic. Billy Zane is marrying Rose knowing he is used as a money mule to help the family - she then cheats on him, flaunts it, and he is somehow the bad guy. WTAF. If roles were reversed it was be horrendous. Just because Leo was hot doesn’t make it ok 😁

@VanyaHargreeves
My problem was that I was reading it on my kindle and didn’t appreciate how LONG it was until I’d practically finished it. I kept waiting for it to get better!

@Procrastination4

Her first book Secret History I thought was AMAZING Very surprised there's been no film

Her other book, well if that was your verdict on The Goldfinch, don't touch it 1,000 pages of NOTHING - absolute RAGE

Oh, I have loads.

“Pretty Woman.” The critics and my friends made such a big deal about it when it came out. I finally saw it expecting something great and when it was over, I couldn’t believe I’d sat through it. I hated it. Because of it, I have an unfair dislike of Julia Roberts. She’s a fine actress and all, but every time I see her I think about how I wasted my time on that damn annoying movie.

“Shakespeare in Love” – pointless and boring drivel.

“A Beautiful Mind” – boring and pointless drivel.

“Good Will Hunting” – DH loved this movie. I can’t bring myself to sit through it.

Somanymistakes – I’m with you on “American Beauty.” I couldn’t stand it. This thing won Best Picture, beating out “The Green Mile,” a movie I love.

Actually, now that I’ve listed them all out, “Pretty Woman” suddenly doesn’t seem so bad.

Captain Marvel - super cliched including the music. Felt like i was having oestrogen beamed into my eyeballs. Total cringe start to finish.

@Ilovetolurk I hear you!

@MolyHolyGuacamole

No, it wasn't war of the worlds. Im not a fan of war of the worlds but this film was even duller than that.

I think in the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds the aliens had no resistance to Earth's bacteria or something? I found the ending so confusing watching it as a child.

I knew this was going to be about Titanic! Although I was only 50% right as I thought it was going to be about Rose not making any room for Jack on that bloody plank of wood

I'm pretty easily pleased when it comes to movies but I still feel traumatised by watching Dude, Where's My Car? as a tween WITH MY DAD.

The Snapper. Young woman gets raped by dirty bastard neighbour and has his baby. And it's supposed to be funny. Makes me sick.

Oh God that film @JaneJeffer I saw it as a teenager and there's this bit where he gives her a small amount of money and tells her to go and buy sweets. My sister laughed. I didn't never forgotten how grim I felt in that moment

Did anyone watch that version of Coriolanus that came out about 7 years ago? I’ve never in my life fallen asleep in the cinema, I love it, but I literally couldn’t stay awake during it. And i was on a first date. Utter droning shit from start to - well, middle. I don’t know what happened after that.

I really don’t understand the love for the “heart warming” TRAUMA FEST that is Slumdog Millionaire. It’s just pure misery, abuse and terror for hours and then at the end there’s about 10 seconds of happiness and a catchy tune. Was sitting in the cinema with this face thinking “what have I seeeen?”

I love Hot Fuzz though.

Truly, Madly, Deeply. Intelligent feisty woman wastes her time on two successive utterly drippy men. The dead one was marginally better. At least he could play the cello.

St Elmos Fire and The Breakfast Club
Loved them at time, but watch them now and they are unbearable!
Detestable, obnoxious characters

JaneJeffer, I recently re read The Snapper (saw the film when it first came out) and thought the same as you

The World's End
Run Fatboy Run (most Simon Pegg really, though loved Spaced..)
He wasn't even fat in RFR.

Shallow Hal.
The Unbearable Lightness Of Being

I just remembered falling asleep through Transformers 5. What a load of shit. I love the originals though.

Leon
Can't believe that film hasn't been blacklisted, it's such a pedo celebration all the way through.

The Lobster - weird pointless tosh that thinks it is a lot cleverer than it actually is. Makes no sense. Film for posers.

Avatar - was underwhelmed by long boring cliched story, although effects were amazing.

Saw that someone posted Perfect Storm. Agree. Think it was a fictional account of a real boat tragedy. Basically a boat sinks in a massive storm, so a story was made up to fill in the gaps. Pretty cynical. There was another film (cannot remember name) similarly based on a real tragedy where a couple were left behind in the sea on a snorkeling trip and were never found. Again their tragic ending was made up in the name of entertainment.

Bridget Jones' Baby. The plot was abysmal, the comedy was poor, the new supporting characters were irritating and Renee looked and sounded so different from the old Bridget, it may as well have been a new actress in the role. I loved the first two films and so can't understand how so many reviewers thought BJB was great and even say #3 was much better than the 'awful' second.

I am not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it but I recently saw Joker. I found it thoroughly disagreeable and unpleasant to watch.

The tree of life, or whatever it was called, with Brad Pitt. I remember critics falling over each other to praise it, what a pile if bollocks. It starts with don't blooming dinosaurs. The plot was all cut up and stitched randomly. We had a drink before going to the cinema and everyone was wondering whether either we entered the wrong screen, or whether instead of wine we got vodka as we had no clue what was going on.

At least Grease is equal opportunities inappropriate, reversing the “girl changes for boy” storyline for the sequel (Grease 2 is one of my favourite films )

For those saying Dirty Dancing, did you watch the remake? Appalling. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2947599-To-think-the-new-version-of-Dirty-Dancing-looks-absolutely-crap-Spoilers-I-guess-even-though-I-havent-seen-it-either

War Horse? It really winds me up that everyone keeps banging on about what a marvelous horse he is when really he’s just an average horse behaving just like all the other horses.

Oh and every horror movie where the characters have NO common sense eg running upstairs from the killer instead of out of the house or bonking the killer on the head with something heavy, knocking them out and then just leaving them there to wake up and come and get them.

EleanorShell you forgot the neglecting to put the light on when investigating something potentially iffy in the house! 😀
