I assume you're looking for people's opinions on this, so I'll start:

-GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS: That movie literally gave me a migraine. I'm not against using swear words when there's a reason, but saying them just to say them (and that's pretty much what the bulk of the film was) is just poor/lazy writing.

Next?

Anyone ever seen a movie called Naked Space? Don't.

My dad took me to see the Garbage Pail Kids Movie when it came out at some cheap movie theater. It featured midgets with prosthetic makeup to make them look like characters from the cards. It was horrifying. Here's a scene:

I think this was the only movie I ever walked out of.

No.

Awful, painful acting, and you just knew before the movie even started that Benny Button was going to be abandoned and raised by black people. Way too predictable. Also, Cate Blanchett looked like a corpse. Cate Blanchett was not hot at all and was too old for her role.

It was like they basically tried to redo Forrest Gump but the entire plot was just absolute hack and was just totally forced out for almost 4 hours. They tried way too hard as well to make it sappy and sentimental.

I went to see it in theaters on leave from Iraq and was pissed that I wasted a whole evening on this nonsense. I about fell asleep when his head turned into a skull(I think that happened,) Anyway, it was rubbish.

I'm not much of a Batman fan, but my dad is, so consequently I've seen every batman thing ever made, but it doesn't do anything for me though. I don't much care for comic books or superheros. The Batman and Robin sticks out in my head as the worst one though. The funniest/worst part about Batman and Robin was when Bain apparently was able to get on a commerical flight despite being "Bain," and he was only disguised by a fedora hat and a trench coat. Not much effort was invested in that particular movie. Ditto for the Batman with Val Kilmer, but that wasn't as bad as Batman and Robin.

Troy


Interesting:

I thought Troy was just OK........

It was obvious though that in the early 2000's, the studios were desperate to recapture the success of Gladiator by producing Alexander, Troy, Tristian and Isolde, King Arthur, and Beowulf, and a few others, but really, none of these afterthought follow-up historical epics were any good. Gladiator was just kidnd of one-time lightning in a bottle but Gladiator was only kind of a flash in the pan. They kept trying hard to pull another smash hit out of the Ancient and Early-Medieval era but it just wasn't going to happen.

I usually like baseball movies, but I HATE Bull Durham............. Only because Susan Sarandon is so old and hideous but they try and cast her as a hot babe who the whole team wants to sleep with. Susan Sarandon was some old lady trying to get with Kevin Costner and Tim Robbins............. it was ridiculous. Susan Sarandon's character also tried way too hard to be psuedo-intellectual but it just fell flat on its face.

I totally agree. I think that movie is highly overrated. It was okay in the beginning, but then the movie just continued to drag on and I got bored with it.

What film should I start with.I don't usually watch a lot of films but I try and recall some of the most turgid films I have seen...
Bad Boys(Just another film with cars,shooting and cops versus criminals).
Judge Dredd(No idea of what Stallone kept quoting,should have been called Judge Dreadful)
Street Fighter(Live version,not the anime)
Mortal Kombat 2(First one has its moments,second one is rubbish)
Super Mario Bros.
