| What movies do you hate? I did a search and didn't see a thread on this but if there is one, I have no problem if they are merged.
I really really hate Wes Craven's 1977 flick, "The Hills Have Eyes" .. it really turns my stomach.
I'm a big fan of "B" horror and flicks like the "Alien" series but this movie really upset me ...

Wait....since when has the Alien series been B-movies?

It's an explosive film, turning stomachs is what it was supposed to do. If you really really hated the original then you would really really really hate the remake....and the sequel to the remake. |

I can't stand "Gone with the Wind" .. the film is so wrong on so many levels and is boring to boot.
So, I'm really trying to see what flicks people don't like .. I'll be adding more as I think of them. |

I'm just stating my personal opinion on some movies that I dislike.
Am I breaking any rules? If so, please delete this thread. |

Flower, while I like that movie and perhaps the remake even better which is rare I can understand how it's a harsh film and not for everybody.  I've seen a lot of films that would probably have the same effect on you but I also like horror that tones down a lot of what you see which sounds like the horror you like!  I'm guessing you may be A Hitchcock fan!  I also like B Horror and some of it makes me laugh more than regular comedies!
As far as a film I hate I'd say this is one of the most recent examples!
There are so many intelligent well made love stories that mind numbing fluff makes me sick to sit through! Haven't we come further than this. At least bad horror makes you laugh because it's unintentional but this is bad and tries to make you laugh and only succeeds at the being bad part! |

I don't blame anyone for hating the sequel to the remake! What a piece of garbage but so was the sequel to the original! |

| Re: What movies do you hate? Personally I like Aliens more than the first one, although both are head and shoulders above the other sequels, especially Alien III, that has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen in a theater.
I would rate them Alien A...Aliens A+...Alien III F...Alien Resurrection...C+.
James Cameron even though he is an insufferable lout in real life, makes excellent movies.
Movies I hate...let's see,,,"The Postman" with Kevin Costner. The book by David Brin is really good and the movie is laughable, those type of movies should be left to talented director/producers. |

| Re: What movies do you hate? Chuckie.
Any of those Child's Play movies are just too stupid to watch. It is hard to believe there are 4 movies in that series....unbelievable. |

| Re: What movies do you hate? The Fisher King.
I had to watch it for a psyche class and then write something on it. I hated the movie. Robin Williams was so annoying, and I didn't like the other actors either...And the movie was just boring as hell. |

| Re: What movies do you hate? Thank God this one can't have a sequel!
Actually, if they all come back as zombies that'd be cool! |
