The American - Rotten Tomatoes

That was rather boring. One George Clooney movie I really disliked was Solaris. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/solaris/

Absolutely
 

The American. It was beyond terrible. A real rip off..:(

I saw this was an old thread and it resurfaced. I was pregnant with our first child, fell asleep, and hated it. I thought I was the only person that felt this way about Star Wars. So glad to see I'm not alone.

I stood in line for nearly 2 hours in the Florida sun so that my kids could see the opening day of Star Wars. I wasn't bored I was just bewildered " Is this what all the fuss is about?"
Kids loved it of course

:BigApplause: I managed to avoid having to sit through the sequels.

Was dating in around 1970ish when to movie called 1000 motels. Only movie I have ever gone to were 95% of the people walked out in half hour. that my friends is what's called bad movie when the paying public walks out.

Don't ask me what it was about or who starred in it. It was so bad I couldn't remember day after the horrific event. :22yikes:

Never heard of 1000 Motels, but 200 Motels in 1971 starred The Mothers of Invention and Ringo.

Dune. But there's been a whole batch of nihilistic films in the past few years that I really dislike. Ones where you walk out of the theater wondering "why did someone feel the need to tell that 'story'". Call me old-fashioned, but generally speaking, if you tell a story there ought to be a POINT.

Dances with Wolves. How many hours of watching buffalo roam the plains can you tolerate. I was bored to death.

There you go! it was so BAD I couldn't even remember the name!

Throw Mama off the Train :shocked:

Throw Momma from the Train - Rotten Tomatoes

Have not seen that one for a very long time.

I dozed off several times. It was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen.

As far as it winning best picture, IMHO, it was one of those left wing Hollywood things. It had a political message so they lapped it up. They forget that their job is to entertain us and that movie just bored me.

2000 Maniacs. Saw this when I was stationed at Cherry Point back in 64-65.

There were some critics who did not like it all that much. Dances With Wolves - Movie Reviews - Rotten Tomatoes

I am kind of a Kevin Costner fan though even enjoying some movies which others see as real turkeys like The Postman and Waterworld. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/kevin_costner/

I have never really seen Hollywood as going left or right. There are a huge number of people involved in the making of movies and many of these are in other locations than Southern California and for every Kevin Costner there is a Kelsey Grammer. For every Jane Fonda, a Charlton Heston.

Many on this thread have mentioned The American as the number one worst picture. While I agree that George Clooney's character was dull, lifeless, and extremely boring, on the other hand seeing just about all of Violante Placido by itself was worth the price of admission. She is most beautiful.

Pulp fiction

Agree ... Reds was horrible. Walked out before it finished.

Tie: 'The American' and 'Billy Jack.'

I'm not questioning your taste at all, missypie. I think most people either love or hate Tarantino movies. :^) But I think it's one of the best ever.

I'm not a lover of violence and such. But I can overlook it when a movie has other qualities, and to me "Pulp Fiction" is just excellent. Each scene is well constructed and they fit together into a wonderful whole. I've watched it (or at least portions of it) more times than I can count.

Pulp Fiction is a real piece of art for me too. I tried watching I, Frankenstein this afternoon and even the actors seem unhappy to be associated with it. Quite a different story with almost all the Tarantino movies. I see little correlation between real life violence and the movies unless you are taking about someone who has already blurred the difference between the two. And, sometimes very graphic violence is needed for the story like with Saving Private Ryan. You can tell that Tarantino has a real love and knowledge of movies from his work.

Ghost Rider with Nicolas Cage.................What a horrible experience!

The sequel was even worse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_R...t_of_Vengeance
