The Notebook. Before you judge, read on... That movie, while I have nothing in common with any of the main characters, symbolizes everything I strive for to be for my wife. To be that devoted to one person is absolutely amazing to me. I can't watch it with other people, but will watch it by myself. I have no shame in admitting I bawl every time.

Reservoir Dogs,or any other Quentin Tarantino piece of trash. I could add any Michael Moore film to the mix too, but was only asked for one.

I can never, ever, ever watch the laberinth again. I took two ambien, forced myself to stay awake, and then got half way through that movie. As of yet I've not been able to drink enough to wash that horrible experience from my mind.

It seemed like a fun idea at the time but by the end of it I just about completely lost it.

You just ruined my day... I actually had no idea he was the latest batman. I had no desire to watch the movie and haven't paid any atention. The superman remake was so bad I just figured it would be a horrible movie but I didn't know it could be that bad.

Wtf, I guess living in a bubble has its benifits.

panikry83 - I agree wholeheartedly on Big Fish. The last meaningful moments I got to spend with my dad was feeding him ice chips as he was dying of cancer. Took about a year before I could get past the first 10 minutes of the movie. Still get a bit misty when I see it. That's been 13 years ago.

Wings of Desire with Peter Falk. I like Peter Falk, I know it's a classic movie, but for the life of me I cannot make it through a viewing. Tried several times, just lose interest. Need to try again now that I'm getting older and slower.

Also, Koyaanisqatsi will screw up my world view for weeks. Beautiful movie and music, but very hard to recover quickly and get back to my version of life after sitting through that one. Guess that's the point. :shock:

Won't watch horror movies. I like to walk in the light of the moon in the wilderness mountains when hunting. Those kind of movies would only exacerbate what is tough to do anyway.

LOL! X2 on horror movies, I always ruin it for everyone.."music getting loud, the person is backing into a room...and..THERE IT IS!" of course there's ...anyway, just find every horror flick stupid and predictable.

X2 on the tough guy movies by a left wing actor as well.

ANYTHING by Richard gere...he should turn in his man card, fuck I hate him...steven segal, another poser...any movie that smashes up old cars or destroys old stuff for no reason (how did one guy throwing another into an old les paul guitar hanging on a wall and smashing it add to the movie???)....how many can I name again? :wink:

If you only get one then I will throw in all Michael Moore!

Plus the original Dune..with Sting... I think you have to be high for that one and then I wonder is it even possible to get THAT high?

I have a tough time watching anything with John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, or Christopher Walken... They can only act one way and I don't care for their ad-lib jibberish... There may be others but those three always stick out as bad actors to me... There is no movie genre I can't watch but I'm not fond of a lot of the Sci-Fi crap... Not into the newer kids movies either...

I'm probably gonna catch hell for this, I always do....but The Godfather. I've tried several times. It's just so damn slow.

I stay away from sad dog movies too. Where the red fern grows is an awesome movie but I only watch it alone.
But what the heck do I know.....I am still learning.

I have issues with military movies in general. After being I for so long I end up picking them apart. There are some good ones out there, but most of them are crap.
