3 most booring movies.

[therevjay]

Usually I leave spelling stuff alone, not wanting to be on anyone's hit list, but in this case, I gots ta know:

Is boring misspelled in the tile of this thread?

Or is it a clever play on seeing boring movies, and booing at them?

Am I a boor for asking? Or, maybe a bore?


Worst movie - Mouse Hunt.

I just caint spel goode.

ANYTHING......Oliver Stone makes! The worst movie ever made was "Natural Born Killers"!! Half way thru people walked out! Me....I kept hoping it would get better....it didn't!
Jim

not ANYTHING - you're wrong ... he made Platoon

 

[Blackcloud2]

This is a tough crowd, with some I totally disagree with, but…..here are a few of mine:

Johnny got his gun
Fried Green Tomatoes
Driving Miss Daisy
The way we were
Pink Cadillac

I have more, but I always tell mama, 5 is my limit….

My most boring with some added info to twist the knife a little more into elitist Hollywood:

Movie / year made / cost / gross box office / net loss inflation adjusted 2012 $$

Heaven's Gate / 1980 / $44M / $3.5M / -$114M – don't remember movie at all bec I was comatose

Gigli / 2003 / $74M / $7M / -$84M – J Lo and Affleck – possibly more forgettable than Heaven's gate ... but I remember the People Magazine boat photo where she is in a bikini and her ample posterior is in his nose ...

Battlefield Earth / 2000 / $103M / $29M / -$98M – what a goof waste of time movie ... Travolta and his Scientology ... rent this if you want to have a god time talking through the movie and laughing hysterically

HONORABLE MENTION – ANY 3 SPIKE LEE MOVIES – DOESN'T MATTER WHICH ONES

 

[Oldiron]

Won't say boring but the three I have never seen all the way through in one sitting: Gone with the Wind, Sound of Music and a flint knapping video I have.

Rita Moreno withstanding, "Westside Story" bit the big one!

 

[johngalt]

Mosquito Coast (Harrison Ford). I think it came out soon after Raiders, so we thought it would be good. Wrong!

Sara's Heart (Whoopi Goldbert?). Can't remember why thought it would be worth seeing.

 

[Mike McLellan]

Dirty Harry
Hang 'em High
Plan nine from Outer Space

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

The original Last House was much better.

Anything with Tom Cruise in it (?)-at least I can't think of anything worth watching off the top of my head.

Now you can't tell me you didn't like Risky Business

Rebecca DeMournay....yowsa

 

[bubbiesdad]

Now you can't tell me you didn't like Risky Business

Rebecca DeMournay....yowsa

Not enough Rebecca screen time to make up for sitting through Cruise.

 

[model70hunter]

Any horror movie except the Young Dr. Frankenstein.
Any geared towards the folks from Venus.
If a professional critic says it's a terrible movie there is great potential I will like it.
If a Critic says it is a great movie there is a huge possibility I will either sleep through it, feel like I'm wasting time and money and wish I'd brought a small device with the Unforgiven in it.

 

[Marshwheeling]

It's a Wonderful Life
Sound of Music
Wizard of Oz

At least I have been able to watch Oz all the way through, but only the one time. Except for that, I fall asleep on the couch or simply leave the room. Never sit all the way through. Any of them.

Add to that, anything with Katharine Hepburn, but most particularly "Long Day's Journey into Night". Can't stand her, can't watch it.

Now Audrey Hepburn, that's a different story...

 

[sheepdawg]

1. Titanic
2. Steel Magnolias
3. Chicago

 

[DR505]

Titanic - My girlfriend at the time cried like a baby...then she caught me rolling my eyes! Ah well, to my good fortune I got to marry a different gal who hated it too.

Star Wars movies - they just seemed so silly and juvenile...compare them to a decent space movie like Outland!

Avatar - also silly and juvenile

 

[rwsmith]

Man I disagree

To each his own, but I wouldn't put Gone With the Wind or Amadeus in the boring category. Most of the others mentioned..... well yeah.

"The Thin Red Line". My best friend from college is married to a Korean, so he was in an incandescent rage about the sympathetic portrayal of the Japanese. I told him that he was operating from the misapprehension that it was a war movie, and that it actually wasn't. A nature travelogue, a hazy allegory for something, but NOT a war movie. My reaction to the movie was best summed up by the chimp bartender in the YouTube video who impatiently says to another chimp telling an interminable joke, "Is this story going somewhere?" In the case of "The Thin Red Line", the answer was "no".

"Year of the Dragon". Not just bad, but boring. Worst casting I've ever seen. Beautiful cinematography in the first fifteen minutes though...

If a professional critic says it's a terrible movie there is great potential I will like it.

When I was in Catholic high school in the '70s, I used to go through the Legion of Decency's list of condemned movies. If nothing else, they were almost always entertaining, especially my all time favorite martial arts movie, "The Streetfighter" with Chiba Shin'ichi.

More recently, a "critic" declared that the portrayal of the Japanese in "The Great Raid" was too "one sided". He must have HATED "Schindler's List" and "Defiance"...

 

[BearBio]

Don't stone me but I enjoyed Heaven's Gate.
