Though I wouldn't say Little Women pisses me off, the Jo/Laurie thing angers me as well. What really bothers me is that Jo's excuse in the movie is so flimsy.

Not a fan of "Azkaban" either. Didn't like the stylistic choices, plot changes, and all around weird stuff that took place in that movie. My favorite of the books, I was VERY disappointed in the casting - many of the actors (Sirius, Wormtail, Lupin) are wonderful, but SO SO WRONG for those parts.
Most horrible movie ever: The Atomic Cafe, a documentary about nuclear war we watched in history today. I didn't want to see pictures of charred bodies in Hiroshima or radiation burns or the deformed lab pigs they used to test the burns. My imagination can do enough, and I'm already terrified of nuclear war.
Plus, watching it really impeded my performance tonight; it was difficult to concentrate on my character's crisis when the biggest crisis I could think of was a mutated pig.

Everything by M. Night Shyamalan except The Sixth Sense. I cannot stand that pretentious bastard.
Another vote for Mystic River, because I was looking forward to it and I thought it was terrible.
The Birds, because I hate ambiguous endings.

I've hated lots of movies. But the ones that REALLY pissed me off were Pay It Forward, because it's a stinking pile of manipulative drivel, but mostly, and forever George Lucas' "Remastered" editions of the Star Wars trilogy. He ruined my childhood by "editing" these films. I can't even go into all the reasons why I hated these so much, but the first and foremost: HAN SHOOTS FIRST! NOT GREEDO! HAN HAN HAAAN! Lucas RUINED the scene with his PC bs. ARGH.
ps You're all wrong about Azkaban. It was the best of all the HP films. :-p

Poseidon. The original was an absolute classic, a disaster movie that defined the genre. It had interesting characters, and a story that had time to develop.
The remake rushed to the disaster with bland and boring people leading the way. I was the rooting for the ship to sink before they got out (at least Kevin Dillon got his!)!

I just watched "The Notebook" and it was so cheesy, I didn't even watch the ending, I hate that actress, she is fugly and probably, as stupid as her character. How can a girl like that go on to become a fabulous lady like Gena Rowlands? Ugh, also she got to be with Ryan, and they are together in real life! Ryan is cute, but he sure has bad taste when it comes to women.
Hated her also in "Mean Girls" EWWW! She was supposed to be the popular chic, and she looked like a 40yo hooker with fake blond hair. Just gross, they should cast pretty girls who can act!!!

Also forgot -
Superman Returns. Perhaps it is because I wasn't raised on any sort of Superman movie/comic/TV show, but I thought this movie was really bad. The sound effects were WAY too loud, the rescue sequences with Superman (airplane, for example) went on WAY too long, the story was lifeless, and the whole Clark-Lois thing seemed very over-the-top emotional and fake. I laughed when Superman died.
The movie's one redeeming factor was Parker Posey. She was marvelous, as usual. "Didn't there used to be two of those?" my favorite part.

Any Mel Gibson film.........
Or Mel Gibson himself, for that matter.
The only movie that comes to my mind right now is Pirates of Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Pro:
I didn't have to pay to see it because my family got free passes to the theatre.
Cons:
Still, it was two and a half hours of my life that I will never get back.
The ending - lame. They could have definitely made it a half hour shorter by slicing off the return of a character who technically was supposed to be killed off.
The editting - lame. I've seen better editting in those 1960's Godzilla movies.
The acting - lamer than the editting and ending combined. Johnny Depp's peformance was lackluster and weak, Keira Knightley was just plain old annoying, and Orlando Bloom was too damn pretty. James Davenport's return as Commodore Norrington was the saving grace.

Borstalboy, I thought that I was the only person alive who hated Requiem for a Dream. I agree with EVERYTHING you mentioned, particularly the MTV sensationalism that was totally offputting. As someone who has actually witnessed someone dealing with severe drug addiction, I was actually kind of offended by its ridiculous portrayal. And I hate that, as you said, tons of people of taste hail is as an unquestionably brilliant film.
On the other end of the spectrum, I think that Cuaron finally got the Harry Potter films on track with his Azkaban. Columbus's films were faithful but lacked visual magic or innovation.

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest- The point was? It really seemed like they took a section out of a movie and put a title at the beggining and credits at the end. Intended or not, I thought it really sucked.
Lady in the Water- WTF? The ending was so expected...it made me mad that I knew what was going to happen, or really it was that nothing really did happen at all and I saw it coming.
Anything with Hilary Duff. Oh my God, What people will do for ratings and teen audiences. SOMEONE SEND HER A FRUIT BASKE AND TELL HER TO STAY OUT OF HOLLYWOOD
