This video popped up on my YouTube feed. Seemed like a good basis for a thread.
The five films discussed in the video, panned by various Brits to the general disdain of other Brits off camera, are The Shining, Forrest Gump, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Gone With the Wind and The Blair Witch Project.
I think the first three guys are mostly nuts, wholeheartedly agree regarding GWTW, and argue that Blair Witch was never great in the first place.
So what great movie(s) do you hate? I'll chime my picks in later. [Reply]

I saw Batman and Robin in a theater in New York. When it was over, I stood up and yelled "THAT SUCKED!" and the people around me starting clapping and cheering. :-)
I don't consider T/C a "great movie" although I do enjoy it as that 80's B rated guy flick...the movie's ridiculous.
All I'm saying is from a movie critique standpoint...the we hate movie podcast is hilarious...they've done like 200 movies and they shit on all of them. [Reply]

Thank you!!
I was legit searching my memory without finding anything that was well received, that I would say I actually hated.
But Bot4oJ meets that quite well. I don't even want to recount the reasons why, but I LOATHED that movie back in the day, and largely forgot it in the meantime. [Reply]

Nope. I don't really care for most movies that were made before I was born. Not sure why. None of them really ring with me. Thats the main reason I never comment on them because I'm kind of biased in a weird way.

Anything after 69 is free game.
I have a certain cutoff but it's around 1930-ish. I used to watch old black and white movies on TV when I was a kid. [Reply]
