Least favourite films of all time:

[Tris39]

Five to start the debate:

A Chorus Line
American Flyers
Gigli
The Holcroft Covenenant
A Perfect Storm

[oldboots]

Well obviously, The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now to start with, I'm sure there will be others.

[Lady Grey]

Moulin Rouge - a busy, noisy mess of a film.
Any film which relies on CGI to the extent that it overwhelms everything.
Sex lives of the potato men - crass and unfunny.
Jupiter Assending - I wish we had left it at the charity shop where we found it!
Carry on Emmannuelle - I love the Carry on films, but this was a real stinker (it was the last one ever made from the original era).
I'll try and think of some more.

I'm no film buff and haven't seen Gone With The Wind but as Donald J Trump seems to like it I'll go with that. I can hear the cretin now banging on about how he "built the greatest economy the world has ever seen".

Gone With The Wind is a masterpiece, you really should watch it. Vivien Leigh gives one of the all-time great performances.

Worst films (this is where I wish I'd kept up my film reviewing on IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/user/ur0725100/reviews) after Uni)

Carry on Emmannuelle (amazing it got made, given how awful Carry on England was)
A Perfect Storm ("1 Fish Finger out of 10" I said at the time)
The Avengers
The Rachel Papers
Around the World in 80 Days ("I was hoping that by the time Fogg got to America he would sell Princess and his annoying little Butler to the Indians in return for a script")
Eyes Wide Shut

[ETA]

Anything with Jason Statham
Most zombie apocalypse films
All the chick-flicks my wife is currently choosing on Netflix
Anything Disney has produce din the last 30 years.

[Brainypool]

Unwatchable:

Any film that values special effects over plot
Avengers/Superman/Batman
The Hangover
American Pie
James Bond
Star Wars
Hugh Grant/Richard Curtis rom-coms

Overrated:

Woody Allen - laughs are thin on the ground, don’t see the appeal
The Graduate - always falls flat in my house
Casablanca - there are far better films of that ilk
Harry Potter - one film was enough
The Godfather - just tedious now
Breakfast At Tiffanys - boring and unfunny

[oldboots]

Highlander 2 (et seq)
The Ladykillers (the remake obviously)

(most sequels and remakes turn out to be rubbish, not all of course.)

Anything with Jim Carrey or Will Ferrell in

Film adaptations of British TV sitcoms

Most musicals

Anything involving an African safari

Any film where the title starts "They" as in They Flew to Bruges will usually be drivel. ;)

Gone With The Wind is a masterpiece.


It may well be but I couldn't watch it without constantly thinking what a twat Trump is!
Personally I think that Kubrick's 2001 is a masterpiece but very much of it's time. Who would have thought that both Rigsby and Reginald Perrin were once Russian!!!!

[Pangolin]

Many years ago (1983 apparently), her ladyship persuaded me to take her to the cinema to see Breathless, as it starred Richard Gere. It transpired to be a totally miserable film of which I can remember nothing, but the saving grace was the accompanying short was a highly amusing spoof about wine narrated by the great Willie Rushton.

On a more general note, virtually any remake of a classic film is almost guaranteed to be hopeless.

Yes. I saw this a few years after it was released and half expected the 'Russian' to be cuddling Vienna, his cat!

Just remembered - sadly - that I saw Absolute Beginners.:eek:
