Rubbish Films

Mama Mia .just awful. Maybe I’m missing the point. And bohemian rhapsody.... terrible

We both slept through 'Oh What a Lovely War' as it was so boring. Also on our list are:
LaLa Land
The Greatest Showman
Lawrence of Arabia (just camels coming and camels going!)
The Longest day (was soooo long!)
Groundhog Day (lost the will to live)
The Favourite
and we were so looking forward to The Jersey Boys after seeing the stage musical numerous times, but it was very disappointing!

I found the thread on rubbish books depressing enough (especially as several of the authors were friends of mine!) and now someone's come up with the idea of rubbish films. The world is tough enough right now as it is, so how about we stop telling each other about things we hate and find something positive to discuss about our entertainment choices? I'd far rather read about recommendations than a constant slagging-off narrative.

Manchester on Sea
2001 A Space Odyssey
Le Mans - even Steve McQueen couldn’t make that interesting. Apparently it nearly bankrupted him.
Clint Eastwood films - DH really rates them but I find them tedious.

Brief Encounter: both protagonists look and talk as if they have a rod inserted in their fundament. Celia is totally devoid of sex appeal.

Definitely La La Land, what a lot of hype for a very poor film.

Shutter Island and The Revenant starring Leonardo Di Caprio were so boring. I thought Dances with Wolves was dreadful as well.

Thank goodness I’ve avoided the most mentioned films. I just knew they weren’t for me.
Hated The Favourite, Olivia Colman having toddler tantrums
The Shape of Water just weird and that horrible greenish lighting.
The Big Lubowski tried to watch it a few times. Never finished it yet but love Jeff Bridges
All those grim Scandi films. Been dragged to more than I remember by best friend.
Anything that relies on gangster gore for an audience.
Can’t remember anything else. Haven’t been to cinema for a year.

Mama Mia - good music but the plot.......was there a plot?
Also, am I the only person who found 'Dirty Dancing' a bit tedious? Again, memorable music but the plot left me cold.

The Favourite.... undoubtedly the worst film I have ever seen.

'Moulin Rouge'. Couldn't bear it.

The Day After Tomorrow film with Jake Gyllenhall. Still makes me feel ill whenever I think about the dreadful wooden acting.

Glengarry Glen Ross - I paid to watch it, so I suffered.
La La Land - gave up after a few minutes.
The Dig (Netflix) - watched it all the way through in the hope that it might improve. It didn’t.

Under normal conditions I spend a lot of time in the cinema with my 11 year old autistic grandson who loves all types of films. As far as children's films go and as a warning to other GN's, brace yourself if you are asked to accompany any small people to 'The Emoji Movie'. It is the worst animated film I have seen for some time. I live in dread of 'The Emoji Movie 2'.

I find I mostly dislike films that I've read the book for first. Pesky people who cast the films never pick the right actors! Once I've read the book I have a very definite idea of what the character should look like, so more often than not spend the film muttering that he/she doesn't look anything like they should!

Lucca, I’m with you on The Greatest Showman. It bored me. Why was it ever made, when Barnum was so good?

Incidentally, I lived LaLa Land.

I slept peacefully through the whole of the Silence of the Lambs.

I love Clint Eastwood but I too found some of the cowboy films a bit boring
Bored stiff with The Greatest Showman, The Favourite made me cringe, as did the Mama Mia films.
Recently I have made the mistake of rewatching films that I loved such as Dr Zhivago and have been very disappointed as they were not as good as I remembered?

Just thought of another one, The Grand Budapest Hotel!

The latest Hellboy, you cant have hellboy without Ron Perlman
Alien 3, Promethius, Alien Covenant
Alien v predator reqium
A million ways to die in the west,
The Mummy 3 and the new Mummy with Tom Cruise, actually anything with Tom Cruise in it,
any Jim Carey movie,
Crouching tiger Hidden dragon the dubbed version, it was way way better with subtitles
Blade Runner without the commentary track and Blade Runner 2409
And the list goes on

La la Land was overhyped, I kept waiting for something to happen....
Any Science fiction; Star Wars, Star Trek
Avatar was probably the most tedious film I have ever seen, I took my glasses off so that the 3d didn't work!
Any or all of The Lord of The Rings

The Revenant - very hyped up and di Caprio won an Oscar for it. 2 1/2 hours of my life completely wasted!

That excruciating film " The Rocky Horror Show "was on sometime last year. I quickly changed channels and couldn't understand how or why people could go the length of their nose to sit through a show like that after paying good money.
I'd have run out screaming ! Hyped to Hell it was too.

Moulin rouge
Once upon a time Hollywood
La la land

Can't remember other titles but there's lots more. DH doesn't like musicals but I do, so we don't always agree on what to watch!

Another vote against Moulin Rouge
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
The remake of Day of the Jackal with Bruce Willis and Richard Gere
Any of the super hero films
Anything with Jack Black
