Films you are NEVER going to watch.

Things like Date Movie, Dance Flick or whatever it's called.

Also probably will not bother with Gone With The Wind.

Those are the only ones that come to mind.

I usually try to give everything a chance, I nearly didn't see Mamma Mia!, but bought it on dvd and so glad I did, SO MUCH FUN!
 
Agree with you on almost all of those, my fiance basically forced me to watch Mama Mia a couple of weeks ago. Others I can add to this list are Nightmare on Elm Street (remake) I dont care if the critics hail it as the best horror of all time I will not see it, and would rather go on a killing spree of my own than do so.

I refuse to watch any film with Ben Affleck as he makes me want to gauge my own eyes out because he is so boring.
 
Anything at all in which CGI is a focal point rather than an occasional means to an end. It's just so sterile.

Anything which employs ADHD-induced camerawork/editing within the first 10 minutes.

Any dour/'gritty' British faux-left-wing apologism about the 'struggle' of life in urban areas/inner cities/council estates etc. Leave it to television, where it belongs.

Anything within the past 15 years that has attracted the 'chick flick' label.

Anything featuring the current generation of American "ha ha look at me I'm fat/ugly/Jewish/black/stupid/various combinations thereof" 'comedians', eg Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Chris Rock, Chris Farley etc.

Forrest Dump, The Green Bile etc etc etc ad literally nauseum.
 
I'm completely with you on that. Maybe I'm weird but i don't like being scared. But then again, I am very easily scared so I stay well clear of the horror genre.

I thought i'd never watch HSM but i ended up watching it :o

Anything with Adam Sandler in
Most American comedies....don't find them funny at all.
 
all Rocky movies
all Rambo movies
anything with Steven Seagal in it
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
all Superman movies

none of them hold any interest for me whatsoever
 
Agree, they should have left the original on its own. I watched most of the third film but refuse to watch the second. I probably saw most of it anyway with all the trailers/TV specials in the build-up to it's cinema release!
 
I don't generally refuse to watch any movies. The only exceptions are comedies which look tacky (stupid slapstick and toilet humour, for instance - along the lines of 'Little Man') because I have been caught out with them too many times (I get dragged to them and end up realising I've wasted my money on crap!) and most movies which get nominated for Oscars. I know that's too much of a generalisation, but I do actually narrow that down quite a bit - to movies nominated for Oscars which the critics rave about. If critics like a particular movie (and make sure everyone knows they do) then you can almost guarantee it will be a borefest.

I've been rarely proven wrong with that. :p Still, I 'never say never' in most cases - I swore I wouldn't watch Slumdog Millionaire, but when I did I quite liked it. :) I usually check sites like IMDb to get a 'feel' for a movie when someone suggests one - that way I rarely get caught out by being dragged to a crude, tacky "comedy" - I know in advance and have my excuses at the ready! :D

I have no intention of watching any Harry Potter or Twilight movies, however. They really don't interest me and the hype really puts me off. Actually, I would add The Dark Knight to the list too - the hype has put me off watching it. :mad:
 
You and me both!

I hate the slapstick, sex-filled, toilet humour that dominates "comedies" right now. It's so predictable and tedious.

I could never sit through one of those films. Not if you paid me.
 
'Adulthood' premiered on Sky last night, which reminded me that I will never watch either that or its antecedent 'Kidulthood', as much as I like foreign language films.

Wild horses couldn't drag me to any Steven Seagal film, which Channel 5 would seemingly cease to exist without. I also give 'high octane' films starring the likes of Jason Statham a wide berth, being just violence and swearing for the sake of it from the snippets that I have had the misfortune to see, and seemingly edited for the benefit of people who cannot hold their concentration on an image for more than 2 seconRAB at a time.
 
Never gonna watch that Shopaholic film with Isla Fisher only because the trailer looked pretty shit and it's like one of my favourite chick books to read when I'm bored.
