I could get some flack for this, but I'll go with Twilight and the Harry Potter movies.

^Seconded. I think Harry Potter is actually very boring.

Forrest Gump. It's too depressing for me. The music (particularly the song in the beginning with the feather floating around) makes me want to cry, and the whole love plot with Jenny is too tragic. My dad, who loves the movie, says that it's a "wonderful story of triumph", but I'm always too busy paying attention to Forrest and Jenny's failed relationship to focus on any of Forrest's triumphs.

Also, my mom wants to see Burlesque really badly but I think it looks stupid. Then again, I want to see Rango but she thinks that it looks stupid, so I guess we're even.

How many movies are out there that people love, but no matter what happens, you will always hate them. Here is my list:
Maybe there are spoilers here, so be careful.

(1) No Country for Old Men (a hitman is seen as an anti-hero. Good acting, but it is just glorifying a psychopath)
(2) Natural Born Killers (same as above)
(3) Lost in Translation (lost in boredom for me)

I am sure there are more movies that I hate that people love, but I can't think of them right now.

I've not seen (1) but I liked (2) and (3)

I can't answer these questions because I don't know what other people like. I don't know what's popular and what isn't. My perception was that many people didn't like or get Lost in Translation, but what do I know.

2001: a space odyssey. It was on TV once and I thought I'd see what all the fuss is about, and it didn't make any sense. Some astronauts were taking photographs in slow motion with weird music playing, I was like WTF was this? I was only half watching, but from what I could see it was just people floating about in space with weird music playing.

Try reading the novel, it's pretty good. And then you can watch the film and know what the heck it was about.

2. The Matrix (not as intellectual/"heady" as I would have liked or as interesting)

I've never heard anyone describe the matrix as a movie for intellectuals. :lol:

I saw No Country for Old Men a few years ago and loved it. (although maybe only because I'm a psychopath myself )

It definitely seems more popular to dislike Lost in Translation than to like it.

I don't agree with some of these dislikes at all. I won't say which ones, because I'll get abused for stating my own opinions.

The Kings Speech

Seriously I really don't give a toss about the story of an inbred german aristocrat who had a speach impediment having to be king cause his brother wants to bang a former prostitute, which historicaly was a good thing cause he thought hitler was the best thing since bread came sliced. There was facism spreading through europe, millions in poverty during the great depression but no clearly the entire premise of the story has to be about a f****n toff who can't speak properly

The facination with those inbred half wits never ceases to amaze me.

I should direct a film about Princess Diana call it the princesses flange or something and have it as a series of repeatative royal orgies with the bishop of canterbury and fairies call it art that'l win me a BAFTA

I agree with avatar. Mindless drivel.

Star Wars, all six of them. Who installs a self destruct button on a death star?

Pretty much anything with Jesus in it.

Napoleon Dynamite

This film pretty much had no plot, and it bored the crap out of me.

Juno and Avatar. Both plots made me want to scream.
