Okay, hate...um...1) Immortal. Yes, Immortal, for me, is painful to sit through. Poorly executed. Poorly everything. 2) Episode II. I ignored One as being an unsure yet enthusiastic test of the waters, but Two solidified the wrongness. It just continues in Three. I'd erase them from my memory if I could.

Thanks TWG!

But I still don't like Spotless Mind

You cannot convert me....

I'm willing to over look bad acting and even poor scripts if the premise is good. The way I see it even some of the worst films have something redeeming. That's true for most Sci-fi and Period pieces but I'm not sure it holds up to comedies or romantical type films. But I have a higher tolerance for Space films and Vampire/Werewolf movies (except the Buffy TV show, but that's an arguement for a different time. Yes I LIKED the movie. CLassic B flick nothing more, nothing less).

Take Sideways for example. What a snoozer. I wasn't even willing to see that one through to the end, and I like Thomas Haden Church(sp?).

I watched Battlefield earth and even I was hard pressed to find redeeming qualities in it. The same goes for Star Wars I-III. But Nightmare before Christmas? I liked it. Not the best thing I've ever seen, but far from the worst. Reminded me of the old Beetlejuice cartoon.

HEY!! I didn't mind Scooby Doo! Maybe you saw a different film. There was no "Frickin'" in the title

But I will agree that Freddy Prince Junior and Sarah Michelle Geller were absolutely horrible in it. Shaggy and Velma were perfectly cast though.

I wanted to like Sideways, but I just couldn't. However, I did really want some wine when the movie ended. If the point of the movie was to make me thirsty and/or drunk, then it succeeded.

The thing about Star Wars I-III wasn't so much the story- that was pretty good, it was that they relied too much on CGI and the the like. A little is great for SFX, but to the extent that I-III used them was just BLEH.
My two cents...

#1...Bridget Jones' Diary. I loathed and despised this insipid movie. I actually fell asleep during it, and the 20 or so minutes I was out didn't seem to matter as there was no real plot and totally 1-dimensional characterizations. I left the theater wanting those 2 hours of my life back.

#2...Troy For those talking about raping a subject, other than the names of the characters, this movie had damned little to do with the Greek legend. Only three of the actors actually bothered to put in a performance: Eric Bana, who valiently played Hector, but got lost in the mediocre scripting; Peter O'Toole who has never given a poor performance in his life and can, as he proved here, make reading an ingredient label compelling; and Sean Bean, who was a fantastic Odysseus...and it took half the movie to discover just who he was playing as they never really identified him for the most part.

Dishonorable mentions:
a.)Star Wars 1-3(new numbering system): Bored now. I shouldn't be doing Evil Willow impersonations while watching an action scene.
b.)Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy There are some things I can forgive, but setting up jokes and foregoing the punchlines isn't one of them.
c.)Dune (1984): I'd never read the books, and everyone's assurance that this version was 'just like the books' has permanently assured that I never shall. It's only recommendation is a mostly naked Sting. Sad, but true.
d.) Jim Carey films. I gotta agree with mal4prez...he ain't funny, can't stand him or for that matter...
e.) Bill Murray. Can't stand him either, never thought he was funny, even when he was on SNL.
f.) Twins A movie that vastly improves with prolonged bathroom breaks. I ended up rooting for the loansharks.
h.) The Grudge Evil should never win. If I want to see that, I'd just watch the 6 o'clock news.
i.) Highlander 2-? As much as I loved the series, the movies should never have gone past 1. (Storymark...There's a new one???! As bad as it sounds, I may watch if for no other reason than Methos and Joe. I guess you just can't take the fru-fru out of the floozie. )
j.) Star Trek 5 I spent the whole movie saying 'OMG, they're all old and fat,' over and over.

mazaen: I didn't much care for Jaws either. I walked out after the first 20 minutes, or else at 11 years old, I'd have had nightmares, too.

HA! That's the same reaction I had!

Chris, the funniest momment was the smoke coming out of the Mystery Machine. Hey c'mon, it's what we all expected. Shaggy was a hippy for pete's sake.

Shaggy: Hold on, Man. We don't go anywhere with 'scary', 'spooky', 'haunted', or 'forbidden' in the title.
Scooby Doo: Ror rydrocoronic.
Shaggy: Or hydroclonic, but that's for a whole different reason, man.

I watched Catwoman the other night and you know, it wasn't bad. What wrecked the movie in the box office was that costume that Catwoman wore. It was such a bad costume. Also the plot was weak but it worked. The background music totally sucked, and some of the CGI was pretty bad.

yes it was a bad film, but it was suppose to be, like a parody of the old B-film industry. given that point of view, it was quite good for what it was. i thought it was funny.
