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]

It was meh..didn't think it was terrible.
But it certainly wasn't the overhyped ridiculous shit that the msm portrayed it out to be...not by a long shot.
Doesn't even rank top 10 in the MCU...but it got awards because it starred a bunch of black people. USA Today wrote an article 2 wks ago on why it should win an Academy Award...perfect example as to why those award shows should never be taken seriously. :-) [Reply]

Seven was, for me, a stealth shittier version of The Sixth Sense.
In the sense that I though all but the last 5 minutes or so was dark and ugly and not particularly interesting. But everyone remembers the ending, and that's where all their positive assessments come from.
Not that I thought TSS was as much of a mess as Se7en was before the end, just that the assessment seems similarly warped by the ending. [Reply]
I can usually appreciate weird shit... but sometimes Wes Anderson films really piss me off.
I loved Grand Budapest Hotel, but I fucking hate Life Aquatic and all the flaming douchebags who buy and wear those fucking beanies from the movie. [Reply]

The Big Lebowski is also a weird ass movie. I love some of the characters but the writing was beyond awful.
Apocalypse Now was boring
The Graduate was extremely overrated
FUCK
YOU
Writing and dialogue was outstanding in that movie. Probably in my top5 favorite movies of alltime. (Dark Knight, Gladiator, Major League, Saving Private Ryan) [Reply]
