Default Popular "great" films you hate
..or just dislike, and why? Here are my confessions:

I felt asleep with the 3 MATRIX films. don't know why, but I didn't like them.
Citizen Kane. Sorry, I don't get it.
Passage to India. Another Valium
The Hours. Coudln't wait the hour to finish it!
Birth. Another Kidman nightmare. Sorry, some say this is a masterpiece. Not for me. And the ridiculous end of a bride crying in the sea. don't get married then!!
American Beauty. Not a bad movie, but a bit exaggerated. Sorry if I hurt my american friends, but it seemed to me they were imitating some good european movies. Don't change style, Hollywood is good being Hollywood.

Sputter, gasp, choke...what!? I know it's not PC, but I love this movie to death. Very excited about the blu-ray release, but I understand it's not for everyone. More Rhett Butler for me!

The Dark Knight - way too dark and jaded
Fight Club - ridiculous, adolescent, vapid
Requiem for a Dream - depressing & nihilistic

Every movie starring Tom Cruise except Risky Business. I fell asleep in the movie theatre during The Firm. My friends woke me up when the movie was over. I loved the book though!

Since I never answered the actual thread question: Twilight.

Fox and Hound. It makes me cry. D:

Gone With the Wind is TV right now! Hah, and I also dislike Starwars and other sci-fi movies. It's either something you're in to... or something you're not. And I'm not.

Twilight. Worst part? My mother is OBSESSED with Robert Pattinson.... she has a RP poster AND shirt, both hung up in her room. She spends her afternoons at work watching YouTube videos that fans took off their cell phones of him walking down the street. She is 46. It is nauseating.

Casablanca. I just found in incredibly slow and boring.

I'd agree with you, but someone else listed it and it inspired me to complain some more about my mom's obsession with it.

The Matrix films would hardly qualify as "great" either.Upon seeing this thread I presumed it meant critically acclaimed and award garnering films that one would hate.I 'd have to say Forrest Gump would come to mind..just ponderous.

I agree on all of those.

Others I'd pick are:

A Clockwork Orange
Pulp Fiction (and yet, I like Jackie Brown)
Star Wars Ep 1, 2 and 3
