Classic Films You Didn't Enjoy

Death's too good for you:mad:

I suppose the likes of Reservior Dogs and The Big Lebowski are considered 'classic' but I think they're awful.

Add any Guy Ritchie movie.

Withnail and I was too up it's own arse.

Found Citizen Cane dull but maybe it caught me in the wrong mppd.

Mary Poppins - for soooooo many reasons.
 
it's true. it has all the ingredients too, Ford, Ridley Scott, Vangelis, Roy Batty's speech, some nice visuals and that cool "tin foil horse" ending

but i still find it a plodder to get through :(
 
Girl, actually. :) And four-eyes over here got them checked pretty recent. Going blind, but not quite there yet. :p

I do get why it was such a big deal, but it just didn't do enough for me. Needed more Rutger Hauer to be satisfying.
 
LOL, ditto!

I was constantly awaiting the 'scary' bits, it just never happened.

I am assuming that you watched it long after the original release date, as I did? If so, this is the problem. Most of us are now so de-sensitised to violence that it takes something mega-extreme to shock us.

If we'd've watched this in the 70's it would have been totally different. In twenty years from now, people will watch Saw 5 and think it's meant to be a comedy.
 
Star Wars all of 'em. Must be the only bloke of my age who just doesn't get it, despite seeing the first two in the cinema at a formative age. Wooden acting and the dialogue is just horrible.

Heat, honestly a poor overwrought episode of Mimi Vice, that scene being one of the great anti-climaxes in cinema.

True romance, honestly found no possibly way of sympathising with the main two characters, so it left me utterly bereft. Tony Soprano was okay though, I suppose.

LoaRAB more, but those are my top three.

Oh, and Blade Runner, best film ever.....
 
Maybe should be a new thread but haw about so called must see films you haven't seen cos you think they will be crap:

Four Weddings and a Funeral
Goodfellas
Withnail and I
Casablanca
Pulp Fiction (in truth I did start to watch this but turned it off when they were talking about cheese burgers)
I have a few others as well...

I enjoyed Blade Runner 20 years ago and have happy memories. I do not want to spoil these. I did this with Dark Star - I could not believe how crap it was (other than the bit were the crew are reasoning with the bomb)
 
It's a Wonderful Life - I just thought it was boring, didn't get it really.

The Shining - not scary, just irritating really. Was expecting so much more.
 
Braveheart is truly abysmal. It's a terrible film with a cretinous grasp of history, it's about 14 hours too long, and it's got Mel Gibson in it.
