Wall-E - took the older granchildren - didn't understand any of it!!

I thought the first half of Australia was great, and it should have ended there. Glad I didn't see it at the cinema. Don't really like Nicole Kidman as an actress, although she was good in The Hours.

Ameliaanne I am glad I'm not alone in not making it to the end of Titanic.

Jess Yes I thought "Australia" was dreadful (even with Hugh J!) wink

JessM Tue 12-Jun-12 08:57:50

If matched against budget "Australia" was pretty poor value for money!
What genre was it supposed to be? When it suddenly turned into a war movie I was muttering "Any minute now Huge Ackman is going to grow spikes all over and turn into an X man"

Joan I love Moulin Rouge with Nicole K, I watch it often and it always makes me cry! blush
Takes all sorts smile

A fairly recent one my son lent us called 'Cloverfield'. Utterly pointless.

And the Nicole Kidman version of Moulin Rouge. Could not finish it. Mind you. I liked the old one with ZsaZsa Gabor.

I had only known DH for about a month when he took me to see 'Clockwork Orange'

Think I must have blotted out the plot, as all I can remeber is I hated it

You think right! grin

crimson Mon 11-Jun-12 22:40:33

Is that laughable in a good way grin. I mean, was it so bad it was good.....? [methinks not]

Anagram Mon 11-Jun-12 22:28:21

I saw The Royal Tenenbaums on TV. It was laughable...

crimson Mon 11-Jun-12 22:23:15

I haven't seen The Royal Tenenbaums, but I did see the director's latest film, Moonrise Kingdom last week so I kinda get what you mean. All style and no substance.

Humbertbear Mon 11-Jun-12 22:00:33

I agree with Nightowl - Black Swan was a load of rubbish. The only film I can remember walking out of was The Royal Tenenbaums but there are a few others I hated but sat through.

Annobel Mon 11-Jun-12 17:22:58

The Mothman Prophecies. Supposedly horror film. Never a spine tingle - just silly!

crimson Mon 11-Jun-12 15:17:19

Uncle Boonmee who can recall his past lives; 5 star rating in the Independant. Really looked forward to Black Swan; what a disappointment sad.

'They Shoot Horses Don't They' - as I remember it involved couples marathon dancing, but as I fell asleep in the first 20 minutes and my then fiancee woke me up to plead 'can we go before I kill myself?' I'm not really sure what else it was about grin

merlotgran Mon 11-Jun-12 15:05:43

Lost In Translation......I fell asleep.

Maniac Mon 11-Jun-12 14:58:25

I actually walked out of a Mike Leigh film in the 90s in London.So memorable I can't even remember the title !or the actors.

susiecb Mon 11-Jun-12 13:04:17

East pray love was dire wanst it - couldnt cope with Mama Mia or War Horse I dont do scmultz!

Stansgran Mon 11-Jun-12 12:49:40

Mamma Mia -excruciating

moomin Mon 11-Jun-12 11:58:05

Oh I can't pinpoint just one! All the above apart from one or two JB films which I enjoyed when they were out in the '60s. Everyone raved about "Warhorse" - can't understand why, every cliche imaginable. "Black Swan" - absolutely awful. What on earth was "Mama Mia" supposed to be for? Presumably killing some good Abba songs! I could ramble on, but it's nearly lunchtime . . .

Anagram Mon 11-Jun-12 11:55:08

Agreed, nanaej!

Hankipanki Mon 11-Jun-12 11:54:38

The Road (post apocalypse world) so depressing.

nanaej Mon 11-Jun-12 11:53:27

Mama Mia.. was dire!

ameliaanne Mon 11-Jun-12 11:31:38

I never made it to the end of Titanic on the television. I hadn't seen it at the cinema.
