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 😁

P.S I love you.
Don’t let her move on after your death. Just keep writing letters every day for a fucking year. Keep it raw you selfish bastard.

Oh I forgot about the monstrous Hereditary. Saw it in an empty cinema in Florida and will never forgive DH for (a) insisting we go and (b) not letting me leave after 10 minutes.
It was co produced by Toni Collette who I only ever liked in Muriels Wedding, anything else I've seen her in has been bloody awful.

Yes the distances covered in the Robin Hood film are ridiculous. And how come all the Nottingham locals have West Country accents?

But at least the film had Alan Rickman which redeemed it.

YouTheCat · 06/11/2019 20:47

I am Legend - utter bilge. I was most disappointed.

Blueberrydreams · 06/11/2019 20:49

Alan rickman redeems any film except maybe love actually

cushioncovers · 06/11/2019 20:51

Mama Mia
Hereditary

MuchBetterNow · 06/11/2019 20:52

Locke with Tom Hardy. Two hours of him driving and mumbling in a weird Welsh accent about pouring concrete whilst Olivia Coleman looks miserable in incomprehensible cutaway scenes. I couldn't follow any of it.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome

Do you have any evidence to support that statement about American war crimes?

Booboooo · 06/11/2019 20:55

Shallow hal. Boiled my absolute piss. You can be fat and a twat you know!!!

The80sweregreat · 06/11/2019 20:56

Gosh, K K gives Andrew Lincoln a kiss on the cheek and goes back to her husband in ' love actually. '
I know some might say it's cheating but it was done in a friendly way. He is her dh's best friend! She isn't in love with him or even thinking of cheating!! It may be a cheesy film that divides opinion, but she doesn't cheat on her dh in that film.
Grease is a terrible film with a terrible message. Taken me years to realise this though.

Parttimewasteoftime · 06/11/2019 20:58

@fartingrainbows Dead on really he was allowed on the wrong plane to New York! Loves the film but really and don't get me started on number three your kid is sick stay at home. Don't keep leaving him alone to call the police!? Number four jesus parents split but let's leave them too it with evil stepmum surely a mumsnetter wrote that film.

My SIster’s Keeper.

Because the ending was the best thing about the book. And they changed it Angry

Gingerninja01 · 06/11/2019 21:02

Eat Pray Love
Where do I begin. Has nice husband, fucks him off. Gets paid to travel the world, moans constantly. Frequent closeups of delicious food
that never got eaten.

Any film with Hugh ‘one dimensional” Grant (though I do give him credit for Jeremy Thorpe)

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 06/11/2019 21:09

Hugh Grant was actually quite an interesting actor until he fell down the Richard Curtis Romantic Bumbling Idiot rabbit hole, and subsequently got typecast in that sort of role until he lost his looks. He played a cruel gay theatre director in An Awfully Big Adventure and was a revelation. But yeah, his portrayal of Jeremy Thorpe was pretty brilliant.

aggitatedstate · 06/11/2019 21:11

Nooooo! Love Actually is one of my ALL time greats Grin

Blueberrydreams · 06/11/2019 21:13

Also the good girl
Jennifer Anniston moaning about her life, wont do anything about it and how Will Ferrell character can think that baby is his in the end is beyond me

The80sweregreat · 06/11/2019 21:14

Huge Grant was brilliant as Jeremy Thorpe but his other film roles in Curtis films have mostly been the same.
However, in ' about a boy' he is fab! I adore that film.
The Benjamin Button film was dreadful. Long boring and I didn't care he was going ' backwards'! Load of tosh.

Blueberrydreams · 06/11/2019 21:14

Sorry not Will Ferrell it was John C Riley

PrincessHoneysuckle · 06/11/2019 21:16

Top gun.Only thing good about that film is the song "take my breath away"
I fucking hate Tom Cruise.

Hot Fuzz.Seriously thought about ripping my arm out the socket so I could have something to throw at the screen.I walked out and sat in the foyer in a huff Grin

onetimeonlyy · 06/11/2019 21:16

Any film where people lie on their bed in their shoes! Yuk!

Thefemalekeithrichards · 06/11/2019 21:19

@crispysausagerolls
Brilliantly put.....yes seems a shame as he obviously has a lot of talent - I guess he just went for the easy money....can’t really blame him but those awful films you summarised aaaaaargh unbearable, but the Jeremy Thorpe was amazing.....hope he gets a few more like that and we may forgive him. (the WORST ever was the grizzly bear and Sarah Jessica Parker film - my toes never really recovered from the clenching on that one ) so cringey and awful but I bet he got paid about 75 million quid so who am I to criticise 😿

VanyaHargreeves · 06/11/2019 21:19

Oh @PrincessHoneysuckle I HATED Hot Fuzz, zero laughs and so many people rave about it

yolofish · 06/11/2019 21:20

That crap film with George Clooney where they go out fishing and they all die (which was pretty obvious they would given the weather conditions) - Perfect Storm?

Also Titanic. I may have a thing about films with boats in...

@EoinMcLovesCakeJumper

Sorry ‘At’ wrong PP
