Movies Everyone seems to love, but you hate

Esbat · 08-22-2003

A few movies I can't stand popped up as all time favorites on the other thread, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who occasionally wonders "how can anyone like (insert title here)". Usually the movies have many good points, but have one theme or scene that ruins them beyond redemption for me.

So... here are mine:

Forest Gump: No matter how stupid you are, do what you are told- and only good things will happen to you. Also, those close to you only have your best intentions in mind, even after you make millions of dollars... Yeah... right.

The Breakfast Club: Hi, can we take every stereotype of teenage life in the 80s, throw them together and make what many consider the "defining work of youth during that time". I was there, and my teenage years didn't look anything like that at all. Many years later, a movie called "Kids" came out, and that was a lot closer.

Gladiator: I don't care HOW crazy you are, if you are the Emperor, your personal guard/political allies are NOT going to let you into the arena with a killer. You want to be untrue to history to make a good movie, FINE, Braveheart did it. You want to take what could have been a good movie and ruin it with the final scene, you are an ass.

Titanic. My friends, my MALE friends (yes I questioned their sexual preferences upon hearing about it) saw it five times. I saw it once and the only coherent thought I got out of that flick afterwards was "I can't believe I had a supersize coke before a 3h+ movie".

Office Space: I was so bored by the time it was over I did not even remember what it was about.

my dad likes the titanic... I questioned his sexuality many times and also told my mother to run away as far as she possibly could.
