I wasn't gonna argue B12B, I just never saw those other threads and was curious.
Thanks for your answer.

Mary Poppins kind of pushed its Christ allegory too hard but other than that goooood flick.

"INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM -- quite simply the stupidest film Spielberg has ever made, and that is really saying something, considering the idiocies of MINORITY REPORT and the ending of WAR OF THE WORLDS. "

I loved it.

My pick would be a tie for Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. I have no idea why they are referred to as comedies. I saw nothing funny in either film, and when I saw Pulp Fiction in the theatre, nobody laughed. Not once. I just found the films repulsive and repugnant.

Are you kidding? RD and PF are completely hilarious. Most, if not all, of the humor is dialogue and character based.

Secretary offended me greatly.

It's not that I have a problem with the D/S alternative lifestyle, and I was ok with the film until the end. The fact that the woman was putting her health in danger by not leaving that desk, and everyone is saying "Oh its ok, not a big deal." And the guy is standing in the window watching her starve and degrade herself to the point that she wouldn't even get up to go to the bathroom. I just found it sick and the fact that she got the guy in the end, just made me want to vomit.

RV. It was just plain stupid and portrayed the father as an idiot, as a lot of tv shows and movies do nowadays. Plus it was a really really bad ripoff of National Lampoons Vacation.

color me retarded but i thought Secretary was HOT.

Gummo kind of bothered me. i didn't find it EXTREMELY offensive but the violence to cats in that movie looked so friggin' real i had to check myself a lot of the time.

I loved GUMMO! "Don't you touch her coochie!!"

A movie that made me want to firebomb the theater, the city, and the world was the documentary PARADISE LOST. Of course, that's just the impact the movie wants you to have, but still...

Borstalboy, have you seen PARADISE LOST II? that one was wild too

Oh, yeah. The whole f**kin' thing just makes me sick.

Fantastic Four, Hulk, Superman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman and Robin offended me because they could've been so much better than they were. God, they all were terrible.

Napoleon Dynamite offended me because it was so stupid. There was no reason for the success of that movie. I didn't laugh once.

Every copycat of Mermaids, which actually was pretty decent, about single mothers looking for love and fleeing town after some traumatic breakup....and eventually coming to terms with their child(ren) only after that child had a breakdown.

So, Secretary only offended me because of the positively awful fashion choices. The horror!

[tazber]

never underestimate the effect of bad fashion on a gay man JAG.

Borat


In the 8th grade, my English teacher had us watch this documentary about a concentration camp..let me tell you I am all for understanding the truth about what happened..but it was literally two class periods of no dialogue, no information...just watching black and white videos of dead bodies being piled up and dragged around. It was the sinlge most disgusting thing I've ever seen and I found it horrific that she would be allowed to show us that in the eigth grade in a classroom.
Schindler's List is one thing. I get that it's fake.
But hours of dead bodies? Real ones? I ended up throwing up twice and it scarred my 12-year-old mind forever.

AnnaK...I can empathize, when I was in junior high I went to a Catholic school and they showed a late term abortion movie. I never recovered from that, of course I stomped down to the Principal and registered a formal complaint against fear tactics with her and anyone who would listen.

Been pro choice and anti-late term ever since.

Also, though I'm probably alone on this one, Requiem for a Dream.

Agree. I almost added it, but refrained when I remembered how generally respected the movie was. It was absolutely dismal and it reveled in it so pretentiously. I think it was the first time I simply stopped a movie that I'd rented, or at least the first one I stopped after investing so much time in already.

I loved GUMMO! "Don't you touch her coochie!!"

I really did despise that movie, but will admit that "don't you touch my sister's coochie!" became a common movie quote that my sister and I would take turns screeching randomly. Mostly whenever we drove anywhere vaguely near Xenia Ohio. Or whenever we saw Chloe Sevigny in something.

Chloe Sevigny is totally the queen of movies that are legitimately offensive. Creepy little thing she is.
