Anyone see EXIT TO EDEN? How about CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC? I can handle bad movies, but phony ones aren't worth it: Rob Reiner's post "Princess Bride" offerings, Garry Marshall, Ron Howard's post "Parenthood" bore-a-thon's ("It's wonderful to have a beautiful mind, but it's more important to have a beautiful heart"...BLLLLEEEEAGGHHHHSPLOPP!!!!!)

Movies everyone loves that I hated:
THE ENGLISH PATIENT (all of Minghella's films except the first half hour of "Truly Madly Deeply")
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (Benigni must be shot. Period.)
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM (Drooling, exploitive, hysterical just-say-no movie...great turn by Ellen Burstyn, though)
GLADIATOR
AMERICAN BEAUTY (stereotypical, pretentious, and stupid)
THE HOURS--Ed Harris as a homo poet (Sam Shepard and Clint Eastwood weren't available, apparently.) that throws himself out the window and Nicole Kidman in a totally distracting prosthetic nose that makes her look just like....well, it makes her not look like Nicole Kidman. And Meryl Streep in her worst performance. Why did people like this movie??)

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Borstal and DGrant, I'm in complete agreement with you on The English Patient, American Beauty and A Beautiful Mind.
But my latest candidate is Collateral with Cruise. A perfect example of decadent, pointless Hollywood filmmaking at its worst. And the critics went ape-s**t for it!

Borstal, did you enjoy COLD MOUNTAIN at all? I'm usually not a big fan of Minghella's either, but I thought that one was one of the best put out last year.

McHale's Navy (Tom Arnold was OK in True Lies... but let it go)
Dreamcatcher
and any "epic" (Troy, LOTR, etc.)

I take offense to 'Ghost Ship'. :)

The first scene in GHOST SHIP was just, well, FUC*ING GREAT. After that, well, it was FUC*ING AWFUL.

I don't think anyone mentioned Ishtar...I also thought Just Married was incredibly painful to watch.

I loved The Hours!

As for another horrible movie, try Austin Powers in Goldmember.

I can top that. The worst movie ever is Balance of Power, starring Billy Blanks, the Tae Bo guy. And yes, it's even worse than it sounds.

No, he's not. That's what I've called it from the first time I had to sit through that mindless, horrible pice of sh*t. It's my #2 most hated film. #1 goes to The Dumb Bitch Project.

I went for the slightly more obvious Unwatchable.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

I thought Crossroads was cute, actually, but I went in expecting very little, so was pleasantly surprised.

I also thought Just Married (granted, I saw it on cable) was much better than I was expecting it to be.

Last night I caught parts of Showgirls on cable...oh man...I thought people were exaggerating about how bad it was...they weren't...writing, acting, directing - just horrendously awful.

It was 3 in the morning. I just remember the hair. And the baaaadness. Not as bad as Balance of Power, but very bad nevertheless.

Oh, and here's another one for the list- Pokemon: The Movie. And the 3rd Pokemon movie, too. Sometimes having a younger brother really doesn't pay off.

But you enjoyed Pokemon 2 - Revenge of the Sith?
