DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Movies that you can't sit through...

Seeing the other "favorite" thread got me thinking. My best friend and I have had a contest going for about the last 10 years or so. We each try to find a movie that the other person can't sit through because the movie is so awful.

The problem is, so many movies are SO awful, they're actually funny. Anyone who's ever seen "Copper Mountain" with Jim Carrey and Alan Thicke knows exactly what I'm talking about.

So far, there hasn't been a movie that one of us hasn't been able to sit through. I was very closed with "Three to Tango" with Neve Campbell, "Center Stage" (a movie about ballet), and "Margot at the Wedding" with Nicole Kidman. But, I just hunkered down and made it through.

Any movies out there that you just absolutely can't sit through?

Almost anything with Kevin Costner. Waterworld especially.

or Dane Cook.GOD how I hate that guy

titanic.

long, long movie and i already know what happens. why watch it?

Anything by Quentin Tarantino. Absolute trash.

Maybe I'm wrong but I took his idea as, you paid your $10, and now your sitting there. Will you finish watching or will you get up and walk out.

For me it was "The Lovely Bones" it was such an odd movie that seemed to have no point, I walked out about 1hr into it.

Then I gotta say "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" was extremely weird as well, but it had an odd draw that I just wanted to see if there was a point to it all. In the end there wasn't, I should have walked out.

also, someone had recommended "the iron giant" to me a while back. i rented it, watched about 35 minutes, and turned it off. didnt really interest me in the least, and i love kids movies

Yeah, that's probably the best way to put it. What movie would be worth me throwing away $10 and walking out?

Doctor Bloods Coffin, Dumbest horror flick on the planet..

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054823/

Attack of the Killer Tomatos... Need I say more

Marley and me. Great flick,, would love to watch it again, but I can't. many of you remember I lost my little dog about three years ago in June.. whenever I see that movie, it reminds me of that and frankly, I can't take it.. too damn emotional..

I wonder now that I have my new little guy going on two years,, could I watch it? Might have to try.. it really was a funny movie..

I was close on "The Green Hornet"

It's A Wonderful Life ... Jimmy Stewart sets the bar for over-acting for generations of actors to come.

Melancholia

Carrie 2
Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter
The Godfather 3
The Matrix: Reloaded (bad enough that I never watched the third)
Most films by Federico Fellini
Gran Torino
Cannibal: The Musical

Probably, today it would be the Godfather, or any sequel of it.
Once I saw it one time, I don't have any interest in wasting my time going through that kind of story again.

I tried to watch, THREE times each, Baz Whatisname's 'Moulin Rouge' and 'Australia.' They are both critically acclamed and very visually striking but man oh MAN does he direct the people to act like doofuses on too many meds. Just . . . so . . . annoying . . .

I also walked out of Ghost Rider 2 in the theater.

I can't really think of anything else. I've seen plenty of stinkers, some of which are listed in this thread, but not that many that I had to quit watching.

P.S. - People are listing some of my FAVORITES up there too.

I can't stand to watch any chick flicks..... sooooo annoying

You should look for a movie called " In Broad Daylight " then, it is not a chick flick but you can claim it is. It is a really compelling film too, based on a true story. They say.

Funny People


they lied to me. it wasn't funny, the people weren't funny, and the plot was not funny.

terribad

I can't sit through a lot of movies.......

Mainly the one's where one of these things happens:

Superhero saves the day....but then something happens so that he can't save the day...but because he is so clever, he finds another way to save the day.

Dude is totally diggin this chick, and she is totally into him...but then something happens and she doesn't really dig him anymore.....but then he finds some way to get her digging again...and so she digs him again (but she was probably a skank the whole time.).

Action hero guy is an ex-cop, his wife left him, and all the chips are down...and he keeps screwing up...but this time---he knows that these are terrorists and he is on to something big...all he needs is one more chance to save the city, get his wife back, and reconnect with his daughter.....this is his last chance....to be a hero.

Any movie that follows that same hero/boyfriend/average joe----action sequence---some unforeseen circumstance----trouble...happy pretty resolution.

Yea. that stuff is stupid and leads me to question my very existence.

I stopped watching looney tunes at a young age because coyote never caught road runner---it seriously ruined my childhood. That and Jerry constantly getting away from Tom.....so aggravating.....just fry that freaking mouse already....kill it and leave it dead on your owners doorstep for god sakes......

Yea.....I don't like a lot of movies...

Valentine's Day (I'd rather rip my fingernails off; I'm really not aware of a worse movie)
The Lovely Bones
What Dreams May Come
Natural Born Killers
Harry Potter
Any Comic Book Movie

Nearly every film starring Adam Sandler from the last decade.

You don't like Gran Torino??????

That was my reaction too, but hey, too each their own.

I never finished watching Gran Torino. I got bored about 1/2 way through and gave up. It just didn't seem to be going anywhere.

since I only go to a few movies, I am generally pretty amped about seeing things and have them pretty well vetted before I go.

the only movie that made me get up and leave was Ang Lee's Hulk.

I find some the majority like, unwatchable. Crappy movies IMO.

Anything Star Wars, Star Trek,Lord of the Rings, or Transformers sucks.

I did sit through the first of each, but was sleeping 30 minutes in...Transformers was especially irritating as it would wake me up...it was like sitting in a closet with three 5 year olds who have wooden spoons and pots and pans as drums.

Saw a movie on the other day that starred Nicholson and sounded interesting called "The Crossing Guard".

I made it through the movie even though it was complete trash. Jack did a great job and that's probably why I made it to the end but the story and direction was awful.

Dumb and Dumber
Anything with Steven Segal
Most remakes or movies with a 2 after a familiar title
The Brothers Grimm
Anything on Lifetime.

I absolutely despise any type of superhero movie (Spiderman, Captain America, etc)

I also hate Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Transformers, etc.

Anything that is overly unbelievable I find to be overly boring. I'm a sucker for a good motivational movie (sports drama), a historically based movie, sci-fi (aliens or world ending plots), and especially comedies.

haha you don't find aliens to be plausible?

J/C

Steel Magnolias
The Notebook

My wife can watch these all the time, and I can't freaking stand to be in the room!

I couldn't finish No Country for Old Men or Blade Runner.

I got insanely bored with Blade Runner and couldn't deal with the drab setting, melodramatic lines, and the overall gloom of the film. I do enjoy dramas but this lost me quick.

I tried really hard to like No Country for Old Men. It lost me about halfway through and I had to turn it off. At least There Will Be Blood had an awesome protagonist in Daniel Day Lewis. No Country for Old Men didn't have that, unfortunately.
