Would you say I have bad or good taste in movies?

Probably. I might not list all your favorites as mine, but to be sure, they are good movies. And there usually isn't anything wrong with liking or disliking one movie or another.

your tastes aren't good or bad. they're eclectic.

You dislike both the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings films? Please explain this.

Have you seen:

I own it. Very good, if underrated film. If I were titling the movie, I would have called it Max And Adolf.

You like Titanic, yet dislike the LOTR trilogy. I fail to see the logic behind that.

The OP is perfectly entitled to like what they like - why is it whenever Person A says they don't like something that Person B loves, it always turns into a game of picking Person A's tastes/logic apart? Variety is the spice of life after all (I don't much care for Star Wars myself either).

Anyway, to answer the OP's original point: your tastes are your own. Whether they're good or bad is entirely subjective to everyone's own individual interpretation. Just because I don't care for 85% of the films you mentioned doesn't mean you have bad taste. You like what you like and no one has the right to condemn you for it; that's all there is to it.

Disliking Star Wars I can maybe understand but LOTR.......that baffles me.

BTW the Harry Potter "trilogy" is actually 8 films and 7 books. I'd like to point that out.

Well I have never been a fan of the topic 'concerning' lord of the rings. Breathtaking scenery in the films and a brilliant cast but I am just not interested in the story. I did try watching the first LOTR film a year ago but it just did not interest me at all no matter how hard I tried to stay focused on the film and only got up to the part where the hobbits took shelter in the pub.

Much rather watch nolans bat films than LOTR. They are far better movies to watch in my opinion.

That last line made me feel a little better.

Why?

Your preference for the Nolan Batman films.

His bat films are very good but they will never compare to my childhood favourite batman movies

That's BECAUSE the Nolan Batman films have a realistic edge to them and are the closest thing to a decent trilogy before Joel Schumacher ruined the original franchise. Even the Arkham games trilogy by Rocksteady are miles better.
