Movies Everyone Seems to Love, and the People Who Hate Them.

Rocky Horror Picture Show-I don't get it, I don't want to get it.

Napoleon Dynomite_I don't hate it, but I thought it was way overhyped

The Big Lebowski-Again, I am sure overhype ruined this one for me as well

why do you hate Spielberg?

I'm just not a fan of his. I do like some of his stuff, but not a whole lot (though I haven't seen all of his movies).

As for The Wizard of Oz, I HATE that movie so much. It may very well be my least favorite movie ever. Everything in it creeps me out and I mean EVERYTHING. Even Dorothy.

Eww! I hate Rocky Horror too!

ET just freaks me out when he looks like a dried up dog turd by the creek.

Top Gun
Jerry Maguire

Never watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and don't care to.

Neither one ever appealed to me.

Eh. I just don't like those movies. ET freaked me out, and was just meh. Jaws bores me, and when I was little scared me. I already described my disdain for the Wizard of Oz. Raiders of the Lost Ark was boring, over hyped, and just not that good IMO. Temple of Doom was a piece of crap IMO.

How can you hate Wizard of Oz? its awesome. I love that movie.


i do get the wes anderson hate. I can't stand his movies i totally don't get them

Well, like I said, it freaks me out. It just did nothing for me. Also, I'm not a fan of old movies. In general I don't really care for movies made prior to the mid 70s. I just don't like the overall feel and style.

I hate this thread.

Spider-man 2 is overrated. I don't hate it, but I barely like it.

Good Will Hunting. sentimental drival.

I did not care for Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, X-Men, and X-Men 2. I am a comic movie snob.

I just hate what they did to Rogue in the X-movies, that pretty much just turned me off right there as far as the Spider-Man movies go, organic webs is where I got most upset. The idea that here was this kid who just studied who created his own formula gave me hope when I was a pre-teen. It got me intrested in learning science. Even though I never went through with it or achieved anything, I do owe a intrest in it to the invention of the spider web decvices.

^I actually liked the organic webbing.

Batman25JM wrote:^I actually liked the organic webbing.

BLASPHAMY (I probably spelled that wrong, but I don't care)

It makes much more sense from a story standpoint for the webs to be part of his mutation. Why not include the webbing along with spider-strength, spider-sense, wall-crawling, leaping, etc. etc. etc.?

Plus...it gives us a great metaphor for being a teenager and shooting your webbing everywhere.

I'm with you folks on the Rocky Horror Show and Napoleon Dynamite. But I would like to add Pirates of the Caribbean at Worlds End. I actually fell asleep half way through it. Oh yeah and Twilight.

The organic webbing didn't bother me because as a kid I didn't understand why that wasn't one of Peter's powers. None of my beefs with Spider-man 2 are based on deviations from source material, I just think it's a poorly told story.

I know I'm going to get MAJOR crap for this (I did on the WUMB), but I didn't like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

It was soooo difficult to not defend so many of the movies that, I might not love but, I really liked.

I've burnt myself out on A Christmas Story. Can't even stand to see a parody.

No, dick, I don't.

I like Holy Grail. Still has a good few parts that make me laugh out-loud, but the show is really boring, and I've never got into any of the other movies.

Their fans can be obnoxious. You're stupid for not getting the humor. And, to be even more honest, I tend to laugh at parts that the fans don't really chuckle at. Like the Knights of Nee. Maybe I needed to be drunk? IDK. I'm like that with a lot of comedies, though. Laughing at the "wrong" times. Heh.

Definitely. Rocky Horror...I just didn't get it.

Ha! Yes! Both are so damned boring and full of themselves, especially Jerry Maguire.

Twilight goes without saying. I've noticed you haven't said New Moon. Haven't you seen it yet?!

At this point I've just started telling myself that something very traumatic happened to you as a child involving a shower curtain ring salesmen.

I'm gonna sort of go Peter Griffin and make a bold one here. *sigh*

I did not care for Scarface. Did not care for Scarface. I didn't...didn't like it. Did not like it. Couldn't get into the movie. It...it insists upon itself. Takes forever getting in. Like 6 and a half hours. I've never seen the ending. I have tried on three seperate occassions to get through it and I get to the scene with the chainsaw in the tub and I get bored after that.

I love the Money Pit. That is the answer to anyone's statement. There you go.
