Movies to avoid and never watch.

It\'s a fantasy xD

What? Fantasy? Noone told me this..I always thought it was based on true facts. -_-

Unbreakable
Solaris
Lord of the Rings (all parts, geez that was longer than the book).
Harry Potter (How many xerocopies of the same Peter-Pan sh*t you may see every year?)
Green Mile

So you saw solaris too huh? I thought I might be the only one ever - it was crusty when I got it at the rental place.

I did like the green mile though... it could be because that giant man is really cool - I think he is in armegeddon also.

I liked the day after tommorow! >.<

The Others.

I mightve missed the whole point of that movie, but i was too bored by it to go back and get it again -.-

I liked The Day After Tomorrow too, but not because the real story/plot was good, but because I liked the premise.  

I actually thought \"The Others\" was quite brilliant.  I mean come on - this had a plot twist that kept me guessing (unlike the 6th sense where I sat there going the psyciatrist is a ghost duh!).  IT had everything - suspense plot, and good acting.  Come on ----> Woman kills her children because she is a freaking psyco.  Woman kills herself.  Doesn\'t realize she is dead because she is so christian that she thinks its a blessing of god, and goes on living life as a ghost as do the kids who are dead.  All is happy - they get some nice dead housekeepers, and go on.  (Ok I admit the part where her husband came back was kinda weak). THEN the audience realizes that Everyone is a ghost, and the \"ghosts of the house\" are actually living people who have bought the house.  In this realization, the real ghosts spook out the real living people chanting \"We\'re not dead we\'re not dead\"  Talk about weird origional and creepy!

Gee, Induane, thanks for \"sparing\" us poor souls. I think it\'s for every person to decide for themselves what movies they like and don\'t like. I like making my own decisions about that. There are movies that everyone would rave about that I didn\'t like, and there are movies that got criticized a lot that I liked. As for your current list, I happen to agree with most, except Solaris. You don\'t even mention (or perhaps don\'t know?) which version of it you didn\'t like. You might want to mention that you thought the American version sucked, unless you assume it\'s the only version that exists.

lol well actually I probabily did see only the American version and I did assume it was the only one.  It made no sense to me no matter how many times I watched it (4) and it was really boring.  It kinda reminded me of 21 Grams but without a plot or Sean Penn, or weird psycho christians who think god gave him his truck that he won in a drawing.  Perhaps the American version leaves out suspensful or at least vaguely intersting parts, or something plot crucial.  At this juncture I must now find and purchase some other version to watch because I cant STAND to not get a movie\'s point.  Plus the point of this thread was entertainment only, not intended as completely serious, just fun humor, satire, and discussion of B movies and the like.

ow I liked Harry Potter! It was a magical world where I would  like to live... Something different and better than this dumb IRL...

[Valbrandr]

Hmm.. movies that I dont like...

All Lifetime movies seriously.  They all have the same plot and I think the same actors too.

Beowulf.... I thought this movie was going to be cool with Christopher Lambert.. but I wasnt accounting for him being 60.. and the movie is just bad.

The last two Star Wars movies.  I thought they were just terrible... unless you really like eye candy... other than that I see no reason to really watch them.

hmm have to think some more.. bbs .

*YAWN*

I actually disagree with all! I like Unbreakable, Solaris (in a ways), Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite movies (I love the book and I do enjoy long movies, try this watch the whole extended trilogy in 1 day :D), even Harry Potter not a bad as a movie, although I dislike the books, well ok you can have it ti not great movie but it\'s not the worst, then Green Mile, yet again a good movie. Although it all depends on what kind of person you are.

Geez, you may work as a tester in sleep drugs factory then...Congratulations
- me, a person who has insomnia since I remember, after half an hour
of LOTR movie, I am sleeping like a dead man...
And about Green Mile...maybe that big guy was ok, but he was an idiot,
instead of using his super powers to kick butts of all bad guys, escape (or
prove his innocence) he was being a cry-healing mouses baby, the only
fragment of that movie, that actually had balls were when he took revenge on
that psychopatic jail guard. I even had a hope that the movie will be
interesting since then, but well, seems I was being naive. :P


Regards.

I have a couple to add, though many of you may disagree with me.

War of the Worlds. (I just know from the synopsis that it\'ll be boring :p)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (I\'m referring to the remake starring J Depp, who manages to portray Mr. Wonka as a Wacko Jacko type of person (if you believe all the reports about Jacko being a creepy person of questionable honour where children are concerned))

The original, which i believe was known as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and starred Gene Wilder was infinately better in my opinion.

I have to agree about the HP movies, they suck. The books are much better. :p

That is all i can think of at the moment....

[Othila Fedhu]

Sorry, but gotta jump in here.  I loved the LOTR films and the Harry Potter ones, but then, I\'m just a big kid.

I just saw the Charlie & the Chocolate Factory remake today and I thought it was quite good.  Had a few chuckles during it.

That was very touching about your bravery fken *wipes a tear*

Just make sure to never do that again

[Siegheart]

Logan\'s Run was just plain WIERD!
And OMG, I wanted to burn a hole through my skull when I watched The Notebook! That movie is like poison to me!

[fken]

Talamir be careful: just dont forgot you already lost your arms and your legs once !!!

[Lordbug]

I saw Logan\'s Run... when I was like... erm.. much younger can\'t remember when.. I remember a futuristic city, where people had some crystals encrusted on their  hands that changed color and when it reached a certain color they were killed in some weird ritual...
I also rememeber some cats...

The Day After Tomorrow was cool imo.

Movies that aren\'t worth to see.... hmm... can\'t remember the dang name of that horror movie, all I know is me and some friends have the habit of inviting girls to watch horror movies (for obvious reasons), erm... well... that movie totally sucked... will edit when I find the damn name.
