Films you outright refuse to see

Any American war movie in which they won WW2 alone / ingoring the fact the war had started in 1939 / re-writing history (U5-71)
Any anti-British / English movie made by Americans. Braveheart, any IRA are heros movies and similar....oh and anything by Micheal Moore.

Please note I AM NOT ANTI AMERICAN and know we couldn't have won WW2 without American help.

EDIT

I almost forgot Hugh Grant...anybody else want to scrape his face off very slowly?
 
I watched/ploughed through the first Lord Of The Rings movie and I was willing myself to spontaneously combust towarRAB the end due to the sheer boredom factor. I refused to watch the other 2. I don't get the hype and I can think of far more entertaining ways to spend a few hours.
 
United 93 or World Trade Centre, just sickens me that they made films about it. the dorector was saying so people wouldn't forget, off course people aren't going to forget!!!
 
anything with steven seagal in and anything about 9/11 as i think it's about time they let the familes who lost loved one's to grieve and not get it thrown back in there faces everywhere they turn
 
More to the point, aren't writers and directors free to adapt the source material as they see fit? Or should they adhere slavishly to the novel even if to do so is not in the film's best interest?

Having said that, maybe when the novel is so well known, like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter or Narnia etc, maybe they have more of a resonsibility to satisfy the many fans of the novel by sticking closely to its content. Whereas if the film is adapted from a little read novel maybe they are more free to change it as they wish. :confused:
 
Jackson et al. seemed to have a very thorough knowledge of the source material - digging a lot out of the appendices to make it work as a film, where a direct translation (such as including the Tom Bombadil scene) would not.
 
The Thin Red Line (1998)

Saw this film at the cinema, would rather pull my fingernails out with pliers than ever watch it again, imo an awful film, seemed to drag on for hours...
