I don't make it a point to catch Westerns either.

I've seen The Quick and the Dead and Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and enjoyed those two.
 
I agree somewhat about Westerns; they can be so boring. I liked Appaloosa (2008), but it dragged in the middle. The best Western I've seen is The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007). I thought it was pitch perfect and vastly underrated.
 
I agree on that. I do try to watch them when there's someone I really love who plays in them. For example I saw High Noon just because of Grace Kelly. I found it boring though. :yawn:
 
Hmm...I should make a list of horror films for you to watch to see if I can get you to change your mind :D
 
Well I hear the movie Nine is based on 8 1/2 and I almost fell asleep in that....so I would probably fall asleep in 8 1/2.



I want to add scary movies to my list also. They just don't scare me and the acting is always terrible....why waste my money.
 
Westerns. I'm always bored to tears during them. There are a few that I do enjoy but usually I just steer clear of them.

Federico Fellini films. I swear to God I tried on numerous occasions to watch and enjoy his films but it's just impossible for me! I've watched 8 1/2, La dolce vita and La strada, so it's not like I'm watching "crappy" ones. I'm watching ones that have a lot of critical acclaim! I've tried to watch 8 1/2 three times and have fallen asleep every single time. :no:
 
Steven Seagal kind of movies. Where the plot pretty much doesn't exist, everything is so cheesy and it's all about gunshots, car races and explosions. :rolleyes:
 
I've grown out of animation, which no one understands, including my brother who always tries to persuade me to go see one with him, like How to Train Your Dragon. Movies like Finding Nemo and WallE I just don't care for.

I also won't see anything with Jodie Foster or what qualifies as real horror, like Saw or Hostel; things that could happen because there are truly messed up people in this world.
 
I usually don't watch movies that are too big hits in the cinemas (like Avatar, LOTR,...). I'm strange, I know. :lol:
 
Pearl Harbor only works as a fantasy movie. :lol:



ITA with drug movies. There are exceptions, but not many.



I do this all the time. Hehe. I always cringe when there's an interesting looking movie but with someone I really don't like in the cast.
 
Zombie horror movies, they freak me out and take me back to being a little girl hiding from the movie. Any other horror movie doesn't bother me, but zombie just send a shiver up my spine.

I try to stay away from series that go past three movies. They are usually stale, badly put together, and start to ruin the original talent that was there in the first place. It's just another series ruin because Hollywood had to suck the cow dry.

Movies that change or completely rewrite history like Pearl Harbor. They made that movie too long, and used the characters in a mission (where everyone got home alive and those men were never at Pearl Harbor) so they could wrap their love triangle up in a little bow. To me the end of that movie is when FDR gives his speech and everything is up in the air and unknown like it was back then. I hate movies where they force endings into these neat little packages.
 
Superhero movies. I did enjoy the first two Christopher Reeve "Superman's" and the first "Batman" with Michael Keaton back in the 80's, but now there are way too many of these types of movies being made.
 
Same here. :nod:

Also, I don't really like Bollywood films.. or war/army movies (but it depends on who's in it).
 
Same here. People tell me that's extreme but I dont care. I cant stand certain actors so I wont pay to see their films. I also hate comedies...usually.
 
Yeah and they keep making them into like the double digits of series. The very first Saw might have been a interesting movie with it's ending, but after that it got boring when it was only about new super bloody gory deaths.

I love the scary movies that you saw the killing happen off screen and you only saw the shadows. Or when there was the buildup and then pop out at you unexpected.

Blood and gore isn't scary it mainly disgusting, I haven't seen a truly scary movie in a while.
 
Yes, the movies I avoid is anything dealing with a rape and murder of a child. I can't stand watching those!!!! However, considering how Peter Jackson was so sensitive how he handled that in "The Lovely Bones" I will at least see that.
 
Gore movies. I like classic horror. Hitchcock and the actual scary movies, as well as some spoof horror, but I don't like the torture and gore flicks like Saw and Hostel and most of the new horror movies. There's nothing really scary about them, just buckets of blood and body parts without a story line. I won't watch them.
