There seems to be a consensus on the SW prequels. The only positive thing I have to say about them off the top of my head is that the fight scenes were kind of pretty.
Still, I have to say that the things I found most offensive in the world of SW films were the "additions" made in the DVD releas of the original tilogy. The changes in the "Special Edition" VHS could largely be ignored or skipped (the Jabba scene in A New Hope made me shudder and choke the only time I watched it) but was it really neccassary to replace Bobba Fett's voice? Or the original Emperor? And why is HD in Return of the Jedi?!

Things that make you go "EEeewww"
This one is my HUSBAND'S, not mine...the scene in our beloved BDM when the Operative paralyzes Dr. Mathias and makes him fall on the sword--my husband has seen the movie twice with me, and he covered his eyes the second time when he knew it was coming! He said it was one of the gruesom-er things he's seen on film.

Event Horizon was definitely harsh. That and The Ring are the only movies to actually frighten me since I was little. If that’s what it means to be offensive, these apply.
SinCity didn’t really do much for me. I actually found it more boring then offensive. I was oddly tantalized by the prospect of torturing Jessica Alba.
Clockwork Orange was sort of the same thing as SinCity, just with no big Hollywood actors.
Clash of the Titans was one of the most awesomest movies! The acting was so awful. The cinematography was awful. The continuity was awful. I loved it. I own it. I don’t know if anyone else on earth does this or not, but I tend to remember certain phrases from movies that become integrated in my everyday speech. Several of them are from this movie. The world just wouldn’t be the same without Clash of Titans.

Quote:I thought Armageddon was a great film. It is widely criticized for its crazy inaccuracies and cheese, but it is no more inaccurate or cheesy then Superman or Wonder Woman. The truth is that Armageddon was a comic book story without the comic book. Noble heroes fighting for Truth, Justice and the American way! I loved it. It sort of had the feel of the Song of Roland.

Sometimes it's nice to just switch the brain off and enjoy some big special effects... Heck, it makes you appreciate the great movies like Serenity all the more!

PJ: I know! Let's concentrate on the little people, and show that it's not always about the heroes...and then kill everyone except for the underdeveloped main characters!
