<p>Sunnyflorida, lucky you didn’t stay until the end. The most disgusting scene occurs at the end of the movie.</p>
<p>John Waters, David Lynch, they have their cult followings. You have to love them or hate them.</p>
<p>The new movies that are in the vein of the 50s drive in films that come out occasionally look like they must be horrid. Can’t think of the name of the series, but I remember seeing a trailer where a female character gets a leg amputed and replaces it with a gun that she uses to shoot people with. Played by Rose McGowen, best known as the third sister in the TV series about the witches, also starring Alyssa Milano.</p>
<p>In a moment of desperation (we were packing the car for a long trip and my toddler was underfoot), I put on the Care Bears Movie to distract her. I am very picky about what she watches on TV, but I really needed her to be quiet for about 30 minutes. The movie was even worse than I thought it would be, and I couldn’t wait to turn it off. Fortunately, she doesn’t seem interested in seeing it again when it comes up on the Netflix queue.</p>
<p>I was afraid you meant the original Joyride with Melanie Griffith and friends. Great drive-in flick mostly filmed around Washington state with Roslyn subbing for Alaska–for the first time I think</p>
<p>I don’t see too many movies in the theater but one time I was getting my car fixed and needed to kill some time. I ended up seeing Changing Lanes with Ben Affleck and Samuel L Jackson and I thought it was so mean spirited and horrible. </p>
<p>I agree with Eraserhead - had to turn it off after not too long. And also Death in Venice. I saw that one in college as part of a Film and Literature class. I think the whole class hated that one.</p>
<p>Funny A Clockwork Orange was just mentioned. Im not a big fan of many of the late 60s/early 70s classics. Way down on my list is Easy Rider. Couldnt stand that one. </p>
<p>Count me in with the Fargo and Pulp Fiction fans. Favorite quotes from those movies: </p>
<p>Fargo: “I’m not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou.” Those who’ve seen it can overlay Frances McDormand’s accent on that one… </p>
<p>Pulp Fiction: Check out the big brain on Brett!. That line always cracks me up </p>
<p>Worst movies I ever saw in the theater…a few spring to mind: Mighty Ducks II (possibly the most pandering, intellectually insulting movie ever), Jabberwock (actually walked out), Truffaut’s Two English Girls (mostly because of the disappointment level from this great director), a French movie called One Sings, the Other Doesn’t, Pearl Harbor (on so many levels, only went out of need to spend a few hours in A/C), Bewitched (and in fact almost anything with Will Ferrell), Blue Thunder (Why did I go to this? Must have been desperate.), Woody Allen’s Interiors (simply excruciating attempt at Bergman). Oh, and I forgot Blue Velvet. Not a David Lynch fan.</p>
<p>Edit: SOmeone upthread reminded me of Bright Angel. I didn’t see it in a theater, but despite the fact that the cast had actors I loved, it was simply appalling.</p>
<p>I really hate The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It is so boring, no wonder people bring props to throw at the screen - it’s the only thing that livens the whole thing up.</p>
<p>McCabe and Mrs. Miller is also excruciatingly dull.</p>
<p>I suppose I have hated a bunch…but I have only walked out of the theater on two. Raising Arizona & one that had a gorilla in it being raised by people (so bad I forgot the name)…it was a kid movie, and even my kid wanted to walk out!
Funny though how people differ…I loved What’s Up Doc, though I am pretty shallow, and will always reach for a movie that makes me laugh before any other.</p>
<p>I hated Fargo. Given how so many people either loved it or hated it, there must be something in it that others got and I just didn’t. It was too gross.</p>
<p>My husband and I saw Dances with Wolves with his brother and his brother’s wife. They walked out because of the violence to animals. We stayed, and I liked it. While violence occurred, I didn’t feel it was gratuitous; killing animals was necessary to the tribe’s survival.</p>
<p>I am sad to report that I saw Rocky Horror Picture Show three times, because my boyfriend and his friends were really, really into it (dressing up, bringing props) and they kidnapped me and made me go. That boyfriend didn’t last.</p>
<p>Ok, I hated Avatar. There was a group of 8 of us that saw it ranging in age from 21 to 58. We all hated it. It was so boring that I fell aspleep. The only other movie I have ever fallen asleep in was Master and Commander. Those two along with Eyes Wide Shut and another Tom Cruise movie that I can’t remember the name of, I thought were a complete waste of time.</p>
<p>I did really like Fargo, Raising Arizona, Pulp Fiction and Memento.</p>
<p>I scanned this thread and I am happy to see that about 50% of these movies are on my favorites list.
Never trust a movie that “everyone” likes.
I hate the Academy Awards for just that reason.</p>
<p>Goya’s Ghosts – Ick. Watched about half and went “oh, this won’t end well,” and turned it off. </p>
<p>American Beauty – Did not get. </p>
<p>Same thing with The Ice Storm and (low be it spoken) Ordinary People. I think I just don’t like movies about upper class people wasting their time on navel-gazing while ignoring the hurt they inflict on those they profess to love. </p>
<p>Precious. </p>
<p>What amazes me is how many bad movies get a sequel. Happy Feet is one. Avatar is another: Millions for special effects – Fifty cents for the script. That’s another one that the director ‘always wanted to make’.</p>
<p>Demon Seed is a 1977 American science fictionhorror film starring Julie Christie and directed by Donald Cammell. The film was based on the novel of the same name by Dean Koontz, and concerns the imprisonment and forced impregnation of a woman by an artificially-intelligent computer.</p>
<p>Computer sex before the Internet. And, with Julie Christie!</p>
