Definitely friendly.
And without touting your own taste, what makes you think people should listen to you?
"OMFGBBQ, this guy on teh intarwebs said someone on this thread has horrible taste, and even tho he din't mention his own picks for movies, I should really take stock of the movies I watch and make sure they aren't horrible!"
Right.

I certainly thought it was friendlier than naming names. I didn't want to argue, I just wanted to plant the seed of self-doubt in people's heads, hopefully causing them to wonder if perhaps they should take better stock of their cinematic intake.

Im supposed to begin to doubt my taste in movies because you dont wanna name names in this thread?? I am aware that many of the movies I enjoy aint masterpieces thats gonna go down in history as the best movie ever.. I like my taste in movies.. guilty pleasures and all... But a false sense of superiority is essential in many peoples lives (including mine) so go ahead

I kind-of agree with you. I can understandf not getting into some movies, nothing's going to loved by everyone. But some people are naming bona-fide classics as the worst movie ever, and it makes my jaw drop. Not your cup of tea, cool. But at least in a technical sense, there are very well-made films people have mentioned over some atrocious, amaturistic, and just plain bad films.... all I can say is wow.

Airport 1977. Somebody should get shot for making that film.

Snakes on a Plane. Bad idea, worse movie.
Okay, Samuel L. Jackson, why must you yell all the time?

If the title of this thread had been "worst movies ever made" you would have a legitimate beef. Just because a movie is well made or considered a classic doesn't mean a person can't hate it.
I have been so tempted to argue with some of the movies posted in this thread but the distinction between worst vs. most hated has stayed my hand.

Thank you. This was a contrast I found bothersome as well, hence my initial snarky comment. At the same time, I honestly wasn't trying to start an argument, so I refrained from naming names. I figured if it was intentionally vague no one would really care, but I guess I was wrong.

Here’s the review I wrote for netflix
As much as I wanted to like this movie I found it to be implausible and over the top. The cyberpunk premise was a good beginning, but there was too much flash and not enough substance. I supposed I would have loved this movie when I was twelve, but as it's rated R it should be sophisticated enough that adults can appreciate it. The director still holds with that passé cliché that a really cool computer graphics display has something to do with computer crime. Hugh Jackman did a good job for the role he was given, but John Travolta seemed to be sleepwalking, which is ironic considering that his character had the most development, though it wasn't much. The stunt and special effects driven climax had all the appeal of a homemade video of drunken fraternity boys trying to juggle empty beer kegs after yelling "Hey! Watch this!" Halle Berry flashing her breasts for a cheap thrill is a perfect example of how this movie aimed low and just stayed there. It will be hard to imagine any one outside of the special effects or the stunt departments being proud to have this movie on their resume. All in all: life is too short to watch bad movies and this is one of them.
StarTrek 5 where William Shatner decided that if Leonard Nimoy could direct a movie, Star Trek 4, then he should too. It was just terribly boring. i've seen TNG TV episodes that were better.
I see a lot of movies listed here that I considered if not great then atleast good. Someone hated Jaws because it's scary, well it's supposed to be scary. Someone fell asleep during the Excorcist, well I'll admit it takes a while to get scary, but the long developement makes it a lot scarier later. Some movies require patience, if you don't have any, then go watch MTV. More than a few people didn't like Matrix: Revolutions and I have to admit that I would have preffered that the plot had taken a different path, but that didn't make it a bad movie. Someone didn't like Solaris, it a deep psychological movie that requires emotional and intellectual depth. Perhaps someone is a bit shallow. I was dissappointed by Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but I expected to be dissapointed. Good books rarely tranlate well into good movies. Dune was a fantastic book, but it was only okay as a movie, the mini series was better in some respects.

"Remember, there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over."
But if we all gave in, we would have a fight on our hands.
I do so disagree with some people here, but on the other hand its really nice to see that people don't like the same things. Maybe I have hung out with too many film geeks, on account of having studied film theory, but it is nice to see that there is room for different opinions on the classics too.. And people get defensive when they feel their taste is being attacked I guess. Why on earth everyboy who studies film have to see "birth of a nation" is beyond me. It might be the first long movie.. but it only proves that it was way to early to make a 3 hour movie. Its ofcourse nice to have seen it before watching apocalyose now.. but otherwise, waste of time.

I think it's cool that everyone has such a wide range of tastes. Different strokes for different folks, you know?
I've heard people say that they wish Daredevil had never been made. If that were the case, then I would've been deprived of one of my favorite movies. (Yes, I love Daredevil) I hate the Matrix movies. Do I wish they wouldn't make more? Absolutly not. As long as there are people out there that love those movies, keep making them for them. Doesn't mean I have to go see them. But, if they will bring joy to the fans out there, I say give them another trilogy.
I know a lot of people that hated Spider-Man 3. I liked it. It's not my favorite of the 3, but I thought it was good. I'm really easy on movies actually. The way I look at it is, I paid to go see a movie about Spider-Man, and that's what I got. So, I can't complain. Hulk I didn't like. I paid to go see a movie about a big green guy smashing stuff, and instead, I got a father/ son story. But, I can usually find something in every movie to enjoy. Like I said, I hated the Matrix movies. But, I thought the visual effects were revolutionary! So, I enjoyed watching certain scenes, even if I didn't know what was going on. At least the visuals were pleasing.
So, naming movies I actually hate is kind of tough. The way I see it, if I truly hate a movie, I won't sit through it. So, I'll name the only 2 movies I can think of that I got up and walked out of before they were over.
The Avengers
A Perfect World
