What popular movies have you tried to watch that you can't make it through?

What's the record for the fastest you've turned off a movie?

The movie I've tried the most times to watch is "Under the Tuscan Sun." Diane Lane has made some fine movies, but this is just clap trap, in my book. I can't seem to make it through without getting naseous. For some reason, I don't want to know how it ends.

Another is Barefoot in the Park. With a pedigree like Jane Fonda and Robert Redford, it should be great, but I keep getting bored after 10 minutes.

Am I missing anything worthwhile?

And then, of course, there's "Titanic."

Two minutes, tops.

What are your movie turnoffs?

D-War. I made it about 4 minutes, and that was when I REALLY wanted to watch it.

With the exception of the Dirty Dozen and Apocalypse Now, I can't seem to get through a war movie. They just don't interest me.

Pearl Harbor.
Saving Private Ryan.
Platoon.
Taegukki.

Blech.

I didn't have anyone to nudge me awake for Shrek 3. People around me were pissed.
