24. Blair Witch: Worthless piece of crap!
What a bunch of chumps who shelled out money to see that awful flick.

It was basically someone's home movies.

Not at all scary. And certainly not entertaining.

Interesting you don't hear anything from anyone connected with that film anymore. I wonder why.

2. Snatch
Horrible! Slept through most of the second half.

And (flame away) LOTR 3 - WAY too long and could have been completed in two installments rather than milking it for three.

13. I liked Snatch.
But to each his own.

Now Batman Returns was a steaming pile of fecal matter. I curse my friends for talking me into seeing it.

8. You didn't like that movie?
I thought it was creepy, well-acted, and had a great plot twist.

Plus Tim Robbins was a CUTIE back then, no? :-)

said *plot twist* that hacked me off...I felt cheated.

And Tim Robbins is STILL a nugget! :9

21. I LOVED Donnie Darko
Again, I think the problem with JL was just that I was all into it and everything, then...it's a freakin' dream, hallucination, wtfever?!? What a bunch of bollocks! Maybe was just a mood thing that day, but since I refuse to re-watch it, I guess we'll never know... :P

As for Donnie Darko...how can you go wrong with a movie that opens w/Echo and the Bunneymen's "Killing Moon"?? ;)

23. Ahh the music DID make that movie
Tears For Fears "Mad World", The Church "Under the Milky Way"....

That movie, pretty much, was my teenage years. All the angst, all the fears and anomie...I just didn't have any supernatural bunny rabbits.

22. I thought "Man on Fire" was really weak. That's like the second
really weak reccommendation from a friend of mine. Will have to take with a grain of salt in the future.

25. Top Gun
Blaaaaah!!! My best friend and I were discussing movies a few years back, and she couldn't fathom that I'd never seen this movie...she went on and on about it and said "it's got the best love scene ever in it!"

Anyway, I was intrigued, so I rented it. Well, I must say, Top Gun has to be one of the stupidest, just plain bad and boring movies I have ever seen...and Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis had NO chemistry whatsoever, imo. "Best love scene ever"...:wtf:

Yuck! I'll never get those two hours back, dammit.

28. I can sorta second this one
I'm not sure, however, if it was just the obscenely over-hype that did it in for me. I just remember after finally seeing being like :wtf: was the big freakin' deal? :shrug:

It was good and all, but not like...the greatest film since sliced bread or anything...:D

30. Any movie with Tom Cruise
Why? I just don't like the guy and can't picture him as an action hero or a sex symbol.

32. I agree.
Except for Interview with a Vampire, Tom Cruise plays the same character over and over.
