Films You Will Never Watch Again


Mr. Brown

Recommended Posts

What films were so f*cking awful that you'll never bother watching them again?

A few that made my list...

ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002) -- I made my mother take me to this following my birthday. That poor lady. Even when I was 12, I could tell that she couldn't stand being there.

300 (2006) -- Just one of those films that really doesn't require a second viewing. I watched it because of all the hype surrounding it and found it to be a steaming turd, just like most of Snyder's films.

SPIDERMAN (2002) -- Boring trash.

Saw this in the theater with my sister. The only movie either of us ever walked out of. To this day probably the worst thing I've ever seen.

You're only 24? I thought you were in your 70's. I guess it's the profile pic that threw me off. Anyway, here are some of mine...

300- a disgusting movie on every level

The Amazing Spider-Man- not horrible, just boring

Clone Wars The Movie- this speaks for itself

300 was a riot.

It's a personal taste thing mostly. For the record I loved Sin City. It's just as depraved but it has interesting characters and a fantastic film noir atmosphere.

This thread is pointless to me because I can't rewatch 99,9 % of the movies I've seen. The opposite question, 'Which movies can you watch over and over again?', would make a lot more sense to me. In fact, 300 is one of the few movies that I can actually watch again. The second time was even a lot better than the first. In terms of visual storytelling, this movie is off the scale.

Maybe the thread is more about movies you hate?

Cloud Atlas

Boring, confusing and pretentious rubbish.

Quantum of Solace

I've tried about 3 times to watch this and get some sort of hook on what's going on. Fail.

John Carter

I saw this at a preview screening and badly wanted to leave about 2/3 through. I watched a few minutes of it on Netflix this week and it didn't make any more sense.

Quick Sand

The Statement

Two of Michael Caine's most cryptic movie assignments in the 2000s. Horrible films both. Will certainly not watch them ever again and wish I hadn't seen them for the first time either.

Same sort of thing here. I made my mum take me to see it when I was 10. She's never forgiven me.

The Forgotten from 2004, starring Julianne Moore and scored by Horner. Absolutely abysmal, nonsensical and tedious. I went to see it with my friends and it marks probably the only time ever that I started to comment on it aloud in the cinema. Ironically, no one seemed to mind. One thing they did right was choosing the title.

This one is good for a laugh. I've watched it 2 or 3 times.

There is no film that I will never watch again, period.

I mean, there are surely plenty of films I've seen that I never will again, just because we only have so much time on this planet and there are so many films I've never seen before waiting to be watched, on top of new ones being made all the time.

But there is no film I would actively refuse to watch no matter what. Any shitty movie I saw in the past could come on in a hotel room on some business trip and I'd watch it if nothing else was on, or I'd be at a friend's house who wanted to watch it, or whatever.

Even the worst movie have SOMETHING worthwhile - a good performance, a good score, some interesting idea, who knows.

Ah, now there's a try-hard director. Refn.

Perhaps not top but I rather watch his films than any of the countless grey ones.

He wasn't serious when he posted that list. He probably saw too many good movies being posted here and thought, hey, I can do that too.

I'm sure he's a relatively competent director. But I have to be disparaging of someone trendy now that my coolness is in question due to my liking Nolan. It's the law of the Internet, don't ya know?

Here's a few.

THE DARK KNIGHT

THE DEPARTED

SHUTTER ISLAND

TRUE ROMANCE

INGLORIOUS BASTERDS

HER

DRIVE

Good stuff.

I was very serious.

Refn is awful. Technically competent yes, but the guy is basically a psychopath with a 50mm lens. His films are soulless and utterly devoid of any humanity.

I'm going to answer it anyway. You were suppose to get it because of his particular timing and because it didn't make sense.

Not really, though they're all pretty popular with the 20-something 'smart about movies' crowd.

He didn't mean you. He meant Who?

Me and Brown were dubbed the Statler and Waldorf of the last forum we were on.

Really? I've never really met anybody in my age range that knows anything about film, so maybe you have greater insight into the matter. But c'mon, Her just came out, and I definitely wouldn't call it popular.

Well, it was obvious to me, but I admit, I'm pretty good in seeing beyond face value. ;)

Never say never, but for various reasons, I probably won't go out of my way to re-watch 10,000 BC, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, 300, Watchmen, Man of Steel, Fat Girl, Cedar Rapids, Man Bites Dog, Dear Zachary, The Fifth Element, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, Wavelength (or most other structural films), or Zookeeper. Definitely not Zookeeper.

The Fifth Element is perfect!

Yep, fully agreed. However, I have found this to be a "love it or hate it" film in my travels.
