Braveheart. Never bothered watching it to the end. His Scottish accent is just atrocious.

That's good because the ending was pretty gruesome anyway.

The ending was beautiful. A happy ending of a sort, but not in a Hollywood sunshine, rainbows and flowers kind of way.

The Deer Hunter.

By the time you get to the half way point, it seems a week has past.

Most boring movie on the planet.

Yep. At least with Apocalypse Now you can just turn it off once Marlon Brando turns up, and you're left with a decent movie, but in The Deer Hunter, even the good bits are slow.

Not a single one. if I see a movie, no matter how terrible it is, I watch it all the way through just to have the proper perspective needed to comment on/review it afterwards. Granted I do my research before I watch a movie, or at least before one I have to pay for, so I rarely see any really bad movies, unless they're so bad they turn hilarious.

I saw Transformers 2 and worse, paid for it. I still sat through the entire thing, even if I thought it was terrible from start to finish. Why? Because I knew someone was going to ask me afterwards about the movie and having seen all of it I could give them an informed opinion. Granted when i saw that I was with friends, one of which I rarely get to see as he lives in another country, so I still had a good time just being there. Though the first thing I said on the way out "Still think Star Trek was the wrong choice?".

I never saw the third Godfather movie though, I really should, I found a blu-ray collection of all the movies for next to nothing, I should pick that up.

A Space Odissey is a must-see, i manged to see it hrugh right away, the film that has been bugging me for a while is the Revolver, really like it but out of the three times I started to watch this i fell asleep every time, and an hour of watching it maybe.

But don't worry I well see it through if it's the last thing i do (dramatic music)

This. I actually watched this movie all the way through. I think it's kind of clever the way they carefully hid 30 mins of story in a 3 hour movie. Unfortunately I'll never get those three hours back. Or the three I wasted on A.I.

As for movies I didn't finish, the King Kong remake was awful. I got bored waiting to see Kong and when I did I was immediately bored by him. Turned it off half way through. I also fell asleep in the cinima when I went to see the remake of Planet of the apes. I heard about the gorilla cops and statue of Monkeyham Lincoln ending and will never watch it. Seems like ape based remakes just aren't the films for me.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. It was just so bad. I read and enjoyed the books, but then that movie just [censored] everything that could ever be considered good about them. Can't make it past the first 15 minutes, it's so bad.

The godfather....


This. I just don't understand why these movies are so loved. I just don't find them interesting at all.

Resevoir Dogs.

I love action movies. But the above moves so frickin' slow then they spend the rest of the movie in a garage torturing a cop? Seriously?

Boondock Saints. Never got into it.

Green Street Hooligans. Couldn't even get 5 minutes in before I turned it off. I was bored.

How about a poorly thought out spinoff based on a cheap remake of a movie about apes?


Well I watched the advert and at least it doesn't have Mark Whalberg in it, so that's an improvement. Any movie immediately gets better if you get rid of Ben Affleck's and Matt Damon's lovechild (or am I the only one who thinks he looks like someone stretched Damon's face to fit Affleck's head?)

IDK, I'll probably start to watch it and go sleep again.

True Grit....the remake. I have it, but only made it half way through so far.....I found it incredibly boring.

Other then that, I try to finish most of my movies.

Yojimbo

I loved what I did watch, which was well over half the film, but I have a bad habit of starting movies late at night when I'm already on the brink of passing out. I decided to just wait until the Yojimbo & Sanjuro: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray goes on sale before I watch the whole thing.

It did turn me on to other Akira Kurosawa/Toshiro Mifune collaborations though.

2001: A Space Odyssey


This is the hardest of the hard for me. I've attempted to see this three times. Still have never seen it. I just can't handle the apes hitting each other with sticks and extremely long and drawn out plot (if there is one). I'm planning on finishing this soon, or maybe next week, or next month, or....

Space Odyssey is great! Grab a drink and a snack, only get up during the intermission and sit 3 feet away from the screen. Also, don't blink. Then plan on not getting up for another 20 minutes after it ends to recover from the huge mind [censored] that will occur.

I've never seen the original Star Wars in their entirety.

*Hate shields up!*

As for movies I didn't finish, the King Kong remake was awful. I got bored waiting to see Kong and when I did I was immediately bored by him. Turned it off half way through.


Check out the song "King Kong" by Tripod. Very relevant.

I just watched that for the first time this past weekend. I agree, it did start kind of slow and boring. It got better and I enjoyed though.

Boondock Saints... This is sure to bring ire, but it's just so awful. Over dramatic and cliched. One of Willem Dafoes worst performances. I've tried several times but just cannot do it.

Ponyo and Coppola's Dracula are the only two that I can think of. I was watching Dracula last night and I knew within 5 minutes I was going to hate it, I tried to give a chance though and watch a further 40 minutes before having done with it.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)

I only watched it because R. Lee Ermey was in it, but it's just too stupid of an idea to be considered entertainment.
