Going to try and watch those again.

300, I could not keep watching after the 100th slow motion scene within the first 15 minutes.

Barbarella. I can take bad movies, and I can take long slow moving movies, but when you combine the two, I can't make it all the way through.

Also, The New World. I realize the movie was more about cinematography than it was about plot or characters, and that the movie had great cinematography, but there was absolutely no plot and I hate Colin Farell with a passion.

There are also a ton of terrible Kung Fu movies which I've only seen about 20 or 30 minutes of either because they were really bad or they were just different episodes of a random HK tv series spliced together and packaged as a movie.

"Klimt" with John Malkovich, who otherwise is brilliant.
Also can't stand Colin Farel.

The History Boys
Tried to get through it a few times but it's not happening.

I have never started and then stopped watching any movie. If I paid to see a movie, I'm surely not going to walk out! Even if it is horrible.

When I was in university I wrote film reviews for the school's newspaper, so I got to go to every movie for free (nice perk especially when you are a poor student). Usually I had to write a review for the movie, so I couldn't walk out. But even if I just went to waste some time, I would stay until the end of the credits.

Johnny Depp flick called "Dead Man." Just seemed to go no-where.

Tropic Thunder too. Just couldn't understand why it received so much acclaim. Turned it off within 15 mins.

I fell asleep to dead man maybe three times, back in the days of videotapes, but eventually I watched the whole thing. Now it's one of my favourites and I watch it about once a year. It is very slow though...except for when it's not.
Ditto 2001...slow as molasses in winter but if I'm in the right spaced-out, forgiving kind of mood, it's as good as They say.

Now that I download stuff like mad I have no patience for bad movies. If it doesn't grab me in the first ten minutes, it's over.
When they eventually figure out a way to make me pay for movies again I suppose I'll be a lot more likely to sit through some mediocre loaf of a flick, but in the meantime, to hell with it. Life's too short to watch something I don't like...or to read books I don't like, for that matter.

I second the clint eastwood thing... I could fall asleep waiting for him to finish a sentence.

I absolutely cannot get through Amelie. I downloaded a version without subtitles, and for the most part, I can understand it (I've watched a few movies in French, didn't think I missed much) but for the life of me I just can't get past the 45 minute mark.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I tried, I really did.
