Films that everyone likes .... except you!

Love Actually and Titanic - detested both! I don't really do musicals either - never seen The Sound of Music - or most 'romcom' films either.

Aw Brief Encounter ... what an idyllic life she had. Coming home and her children were already in bed after wandering round town, having lunch and going to the cinema. Obvs her not the children. It's like a bit of history. There are so few people at the railway station too so a bit different to now.

Dirty Dancing. The only good bit is the dance at the end.

Brief Encounter.

Casablanca.

Moulin Rouge.

Wanted to like them all and tried a few times. But nope. Not for me.

2001: A Space Odyssey. Think it may have been the most boring and incomprehensible two hours of my life!

I loved Up but could never see the appeal of It's a Wonderful Life.

Lost in Translation and American Beauty both Oscar winning films but can't see why.
Hated The Sound of Music

I agree about La La Land. I switched it off after 20 minutes, fortunately I was watching it on a plane and hadn't paid to see it.

The Full Monty - I don't dislike it at all but I don't think it's a comedy, I think it's very sad.

Usually I enjoy the experience of a cinema visit and being transported to another time and place, and suspending my disbelief.

Having said that, Interstellar annoyed me right from the beginning. It started off by saying that nothing more could grow on earth except this one kind of maize and there were two people sitting on the veranda drinking beer. What do they think the beer was made of?

Ah yes, Lost in Translation, that’s another deadly boring load of piffle. Oscar winning, was it? Perhaps it’s an American idea of subtlety…

Mine is Wayne’s World, my two daughters absolutely love it. I watched it with them once and l just couldn’t understand why they thought it was so funny, l do have a sense of humour l really do, oh well each to their own l suppose.

Purely personal point of view but I loathe it when foreign language film - usually beautifully made and well acted are given the 'Hollywood' treatment!

Got the same problem with our Singing For Fun group - our conductor likes all the Greatest Showman songs even though they are difficult for group singing!

Les miserables and La La Land. Can’t understand all the hype over them

I'd tried to watch Groundhog day many times but it drove me to stressed out insanity very quickly. But during lockdown , I tied myself to the chair and matchsticked my eyes open and loved it !

The original Top Gun. Seems so cheesy now having watched the other day. New one is better. Then again, can't have one without t'other.

Cant stand any horror films/ thrillers, wont watch any sad or violent films or any featuring sexual violence or abuse of any kind. There is too much of that in real life and I go to be distracted or educated not shocked and traumatised

La la land, and Love Actually. I'm also not keen on the Bridget Jones films

Sound of Music. We drove a long way in foggy weather to see it and it was such a waste of a journey. So sugary,,.............

Any Harry Potter films.
Any 'zombie' films
'Frozen' films
A Wonderful Life - I just don't get why it's so popular.
Lord of the Rings
Alien
Star Wars films
War films in general
Any films with violence and/or bad language

I'm not really much of a film fan at all. Haven't been to the cinema for nearly 30 years, and don't often watch films on TV, I get bored or fall asleep. However, I enjoy kids cartoons and Disney films. I guess I'm just a kid at heart. Surely films are supposed to entertain us, so I like them to be fun, light hearted and amusing, I don't want to be scared half to death!

I feel the same as you about 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Never appealed to me.

'Love Actually' was recommended to me but left me cold!

And although I love Bette Davis, I've never liked 'The Letter'.

Each and every James Bond film, time to drop the whole thing and stop repeats on TV.

Pretty Woman.
Hate the premise, the self involved arrogant Edward, and the whole 'tart with a heart of gold' thing. Who on earth thought it should become a musical as well!

Mamma Mia - the girl makes my toes curl!
It's a wonderful Life, - never got to the end of it.
Sound of Music, too sugary

But I love Brief Encounter and Casablanca.

Why Oh Why can't they make .......

I slept peacefully through Silence of the Lambs, and from what I hear of it, I have no desire to see it!

La La Land. I couldn’t identify with either of the principals, and the music did nothing for me. Moulin Rouge. A typical Baz Lurman mishmash of conflicting styles.

I can’t understand the hype about two particular films - The Greatest Showman and Dirty Dancing. I bought the dvd of The Greatest Showman to watch with DGC. I found it quite flat, and thought that the music was unmemorable. However, it was extremely popular, and I know people who have watched it a number of times.
