Popular movies you don't like

[kerouac2]

All of us have not liked certain movies that most other people absolutely LOVE.  And when the movie is a blockbuster, it is best to just shut up and not talk about the movie when there is a discussion.

Nevertheless, I have made a little list of movies that I did not like.  This doesn't mean that I despised them, but they did absolutely nothing for me.  Sometimes I understood why other people loved them, sometimes I was clueless.  And I feel no reason to justify my own choices.  Sometimes I have no valid reason.  (Sometimes I do.)

I restricted my list to English language movies from the last 40 or 50 years, but absolutely anything goes if you want to add some of your own movies.

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Kill Bill
3. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
4. Inception
5. Chinatown
6. The Sixth Sense
7. Mulholland Drive
8. Lost in Translation
9. Mad Max - Fury Road

Thelma and Louise

[lagatta]

All space operas. I have never seen a Star Wars film.

I do remember that I found Woody Allen's Love and Death (about Russian literature) rather amusing, but otherwise I disliked his films.

Anything hyper-violent.

But in general I dislike Hollywood films. There were brilliant exceptions in the 1970s with social and feminist themes (the latter were about women as human beings, not stereotypical themes).

Love Story

[bixaorellana]

I was bragging to a friend just today that I never saw Love Story.

Personal barf popular movie for me would be Beaches.

[bjd]

Never heard of Beaches, but I neither saw nor read Love Story. I liked some of Woody Allen's early movies (Manhattan, Annie Hall were the best) some others were okay, but they really went downhill some years ago and I didn't see any more.

Mostly I avoided going to schmaltzy movies so can't say whether I would have like them. I walked out of Fiddler on the Roof, Punchdrunk Love (I can't stand Adam Sandler) and a few others I don't remember.

Ditto on all of the above listed. I am sure there are others. Along with Pulp Fiction, I don't like any of Tarantino's films.
Like BJD, I can enjoy a couple of Woody Allen's early movies. Mainly the backdrop of NYC.
And like Lagatta, I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies. It's a genre I can't abide.

[whatagain]

Not sure i saw half of those.
...cuckoos is the movie with Jack Nicholson ? I loved that one.
I like kill bill but never saw it entirely.
Same for pulp fiction.
I disliked inception.
I love the starwars 4-6.

[mickthecactus]

I'm not a great film watcher. Don't think I've seen any of these! Other than Fiddler on the Roof which I love.

The last time I went to the cinema was to see Schindlers List...

[kerouac2]

Then there are the popular movies that I never went to see and have never even watched on television, for example:

Ghost
Dirty Dancing

And that isn't even because those were chick flicks. I end up seeing tons of chick flicks.

[whatagain]

I liked ghost.
I hated dirty dancing.
