Classics you just cant warm to..

[Literary Heroin]

Another one for "It's a Wonderful Life" - utter utter drivel. In fact, I hate that film!

And whilst I'm at it, "The Full Monty" - what's all the fuss about? A group of unattractive Northerners strip off to a crap song, piffle!

And "Billy Elliot"

 

[sk8er girl]

Agree about the Full Monty. It was Ok, but didn't deserve the amount of hype and praise it got.

'Brassed Off 'was a much better film.

 

[KSbooks]

Forest Gump
Brokeback mountain - not much happens and Heath Ledger mumbles so much I've no idea what he says
Love Actually - it's just boring

 

[guerita]

Agree with The Full Monty...found it pretty average

 

[rhgto]

The op said 'classics'.

Grease and most westerns.

 

[Chloe K]

Laurence of Arabia - the dullest film in history imo. I've tried to watch it a couple of times and ended up giving up around the 2hr mark.

 

[Sydney P]

Just remembered another: Lost in Translation.

The only DVD I have got rid of immediately after watching, such was my hatred for this smug, lazy, deeply pretentious shit.

 

[stewies_grl93]

Agree with Top Gun. Saw it for the first time the other week and thought it was rubbish.

 

[HannahGoregasm(=]

Another thread for people to list films they don;t like...

And some people have really misunderstood 'classics'.

'Top Gun' 'Deep Impact' 'Bridget Jones'???

 

[SuMiRe~cHaN *IcE mUnCh*]

Spot on! Some think Highlander and all action films are classics!!!!

 

[Bat-te-ry]

2001 - A Space Odyssey - The humming soundtrack!
The Godfather
Godfather Part 2
Mean Streets
All Star Wars Films
The Haunting - Julie Harris gives the most irrating performance l've ever seen imho!

 

[roswelldreamer]

The Exorcist
Chinatown
The Star Wars films

 

[Joe]

I tried watching Lawrence of Arabia once, but gave up pretty quickly. I swear at one point it was just a picture of a desert with no-one there for about three or four minutes.

Never liked Grease or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers much either.

 

[Percyboy:R.I.P MJ !]

American in Paris.

Fred Astaire was urbane and classy, "athletic" Gene Kelly just irritating!

 

[Gaga_Gurl]

The Humming Soundtrack? Hmmmmmm ...........

Maybe wd have been better with scat singing, something from Cleo Laine (open the cinema doors please HAL).

 

[Adios]

I can't STAND Cleo Laine

 

[music ♥]

I agree with this - apart from The Full Monty being OK, I thought it was poor. I had had no feeling for any of the characters.

Brassed Off was miles better.

The three films considered 'classic' that left me most underwhelmed are ET, Reservior Dogs and Forrest Gump.

 

[Richard 78]

Duck Soup. Far from being the best Marx Bros film, I think it's the worst.

 

[TERI Sexton]

Brassed off was EONS better! I think it was the saucy element that made the inferior Full Monty more famous..

 

[jdgothtech]

godfather ... nope dont get the big deal (quite like goodfellas though)

lord of the rings ... i just dont get that full stop, the first 20 mins drove me insane, explaining all these rings of power, but ohh wait, theres this one ring that makes all that stuff you just watched pointless, skip 3 and bit hrs roll credits and ... yeah thats right, its still not finished, only another 6 hrs of this crap to go, nope i dont think so
