Wow, Lost in Translation is one movie that I can watch over and over again. One man's trash is another's treasure!

I couldn't watch more than 20 mins of The Blair Witch Project. Just awful.


I'd agree with you there. I was with a group of friends and not driving when I saw that one. Otherwise, I would have left after about 5 minutes. I do give the makers of the blair witch credit though. They spent about two days wandering around the forest with a camera and screaming but managed to generate a ton of hype for the movie.

Revolutionary Road.... absolutely boring. Maybe if you have read the book you would get a different experience but the movie does a very poor job of standing on its own.

The Big Lebowski

I realize I'm offending just about every arsehole who burns downloaded movies, but I was bored shitless with that movie, and couldn't even make it past the first 10 minutes.

Also that flick with Julianne Moore (who I adore), Nicole Kidman, and the other broad; I fell asleep.

Apollo 13 Though it wasn't as boring as "The Paper".

I can understand why you wouldn't like such a cult classic like the big lebowski. Anyone who "adores" Julianne Moore is bound to be bored to death by it.

Same here. I have a copy on my mp3 player and have watched it several times while on the train, bus, waiting somewhere, etc.

I think its a great movie. I even made a copy and gave it to a Japanese student who studies at the university where I work (in Russia). He got a real kick out of seeing his culture portrayed through a western perspective.

It is a laid back movie, maybe that's why the some people find it boring. But I like it for that reason, its calm. No explosions or amped up tension.

"Miami Vice" couldn't finish that

I don't think I'd ever been ashamed to be Irish till I saw Colin Farrell involved with that piece of S**t. (On second thoughts add "Alexander" to that too).

She shows her box in the damn movie and I still didn't care enough to watch it, dumb-ass. Way to torpedo your own insult.

I did not have a TV or a computer in my apartment for the first 5 months here in the Korea, nor was there a theatre near me. Now that I have rejoined the 21st century I am finding that if the sex or violence goes beyond PG-13, I can't sleep that night. I found this out when I started watching Unfaithful which was pretty unbelievable to begin with. Who would cheat on Richard Gere?

I never much cared for his stuff either, but after 'In Bruges,' all is forgiven.
