<p>saw clockwork orange on my b/d–remains my worst movie ever. </p>
<p>I do like Fargo–it grows on me when I see it again, like My Cousin Vinnie.</p>
<p>The only movie I walked out of was Batman Forever. I strolled out and walked into another theatre which was showing My Best Friend’s Wedding. Not the greatest movie, but I couldn’t stand to watch all those terrorized children forced to watch the Batman movie by parents oblivious to their children’s horror.</p>
<p>I confess I loved Pulp Fiction, whereas someone earlier thought it was walking out worthy. I especially loved the scenes with Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta.</p>
<p>I wish someone was watching re the violence in movies. ( advertisers? backers?)
I just hate it & I think it forces us to disassociate to sit through it. </p>
<p>My H was reading thriller crime books, which IMO were a little heavy on the violence & it was increasing his anxiety level, although he didn’t realize it.
But now I have got him reading public domain classics on his ipod & he loves it.</p>
<p>When it is important to plot fine. I understand violence in shows like * The Wire*, or even * Carrie*. But just to use the special effects because you can- well I would rather go hear a storyteller.</p>

<p>It is interesting however, the differences in taste- although it doesn’t look like many fans of porn or horror movies.</p>
<p>I think some people go to movies because " everyone is talking about them"
I wanted to see * Gangs of New York* because of Day- Lewis and the time period sounded interesting- but I didn’t cause I don’t like to have to plug my ears.</p>
<p>My older daughter went to see * Unleashed* when it came out but she couldn’t even read * The diary of Anne Frank*, because it was so upsetting to her.</p>
<p>I can watch * Bones* with it’s depictions of autopsies of bodies in all kinds of states, & I liked L.A. Confidential and other noirish movies- and I don’t know exactly why some movies turn my stomach and others don’t- some are just more intense I guess.</p>
<p>I don’t necessarily think that movies should swing back to black & white depictions of separate beds for married couples, but the imagination has a lot going for it.

<p>OOoooo … the Story Telling Festival, I love that.</p>
<p>Walked out of “The Pig and I” way back when.</p>
<p>Straw Dogs with Dustin Hoffman. Awful movie.</p>
<p>I go to very few movies.</p>
<p>
Worst movie I ever paid money to see. I’m still traumatized by the memory of its awfulness, 25 years later.</p>
<p>I passed out (and had to be carried out) of One Flew Over the Cukoo’s Nest. I think it happened when Jack Nicholson was getting a “shock treatment”. It must have been too graphic for me.</p>
<p>Dh & I walked out of Xanadu…worst movie ever.</p>
<p>I keep my eyes closed in lots of movies…and get jumpy during others. Dh loves it, as long as I hold on tight to his arm.</p>
<p>“I confess I loved Pulp Fiction, whereas someone earlier thought it was walking out worthy”</p>
<p>Yeah, I call Pulp Fiction and Fargo two of the greatest movies of the 90s.</p>
<p>“Yeah, I call Pulp Fiction and Fargo two of the greatest movies of the 90s.”</p>
<p>Or the worst depending on your perspective. I hated both of them. Blowing off the head of the policeman and laughing…that was enough for me to hit the off button.</p>
<p>Walked out on Tommy. Wish I had walked out on Napolean Dynamite (can’t believe no one has mentioned this one yet) and Snakes on a Plane.</p>
<p>I LIKE Pulp Fiction (found myself hoping a giant anvil would somehow drop on the French girl though), Zhivago (could watch the young Julie Christie all day), Clockwork Orange (great music), Midnight Cowboy, and Boogie Nights.</p>
<p>I second whoever was grossed out by the girl with the sticks replacing arms in Titus.</p>
<p>I think Leonardo DiCaprio is the most useless actor of all time–name me a movie that wouldn’t be much better with another actor (even Charlie Sheen) in his place.</p>
<p>In days of yore, there were movie stars like Cary Grant, Brando, Peck, Gary Cooper, John Wayne, Paul Newman, Burt Lancaster, Gable, Cagney, and Bogart. Now we’ve got DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Shia Labeuf, and and Johnny Depp???</p>
<p>Have tried watching Fargo, and can’t get into it.</p>
<p>A Straw Dogs remake is on the way.</p>
<p>The first 10 minutes of Raising Arizona are superb cinema. The rest is merely good.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yah? Oh, Yah.</p>
<p>"name me a movie that wouldn’t be much better with another actor "</p>
<p>What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.</p>
<p>“Blowing off the head of the policeman and laughing”</p>
<p>You’re entitled to hate the movie for any reason or no reason, but I have seen Fargo many times, and no one laughs when the policeman is shot in the head. The first criminal is emotionless, the second furious at the first. A shooting is played for laughs in Pulp Fiction, but the victim isn’t a policeman.</p>
<p>Nrsb4-
I am the one who hated Pulp Fiction. Absolutely hated it. I finally had enough when they were in the car-- I forget the exact scene- but it was some gratuitous violence. Had enough. Sat in the lobby and waited for DH and our friends.</p>
<p>^^^^I can respect that.</p>
<p>I particularly enjoyed the verbal repartee between Travolta’s character and Jackson’s. The scene you described was gruesome, and the scenes which take place as a result of that incident are rather macabre, but definitely funny in a black humor context.</p>
<p>Spoiler alert:</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, the Jackson character does come to see the error of his ways as a result of his experiences that day.</p>
<p>The Travolta character does not see the error of his ways, and comes to a very bad end as a result.</p>
<p>^^^^Yep. But he does do the great dance scene with Uma Thurman before he finds himself face to face with Bruce Willis.</p>
<p>I have been to maybe 20 movies in the last ten years (I have no problem waiting for DVD release of most films). Nine of those twenty were LotR and the six HP released to date. Enjoyed them all. The only one my wife and I walked out on was some piece of drivel with George Clooney called ‘Solaris’.</p>
