Almost any film, I am really not a film watcher (or television viewer). Much easier to list the films I like.

Hover, I have just thought of one, I really cannot stand, 'Brief Encounter'. I have mainly seen it in tiny bits, but I gritted my teeth once and sat and watched it from beginning to end. I thought it absolutely ludicrous tosh.

Recent ones that I just haven’t been enamoured with are

The Greatest Showman
Dunkirk
Life of Pi (despite the excellent cinematography’

Blazing Saddles. I watched it at the cinema when it was first released. The cinema audience were screaming with laughter from start to finish and I sat there totally unamused. A man sat next to me (who I didn't know) literally fell off his seat laughing and had to be helped back into his seat. I have since tried to watch it on tv but was very bored about 20 minutes in and haven't bother again.

Love Actually.

But I think that I’m far from alone.
It divides opinion (I’m deliberately avoiding mentioning the yeasty, salty spread)

I cried all the way through “West Side Story”. There is so much violence, poverty, threats, etc. Hated every minute.

“Mamma Mia” for one. Thought Meryl Streep was miscast, but just didn’t care for the story at all.

Will soon think of others.

Inspired by a similar thread on books.
Mine are "Up" - I don't find it as sad as everyone else apparently does.
"It's a Wonderful Life" - I just don't like it!
