Classic Movies you Just Can't Freaking Stomach [Archive]

A Clockwork Orange--Okay, a bunch of guys in their long johns like to beat people up. WTF makes this a classic?

Debbie Does Dallas--Other than the title it's just another stupid porn flick with horrible acting and the most un-erotic scenes you can think of. Really, your cousin Joey could make a porn flick in his back yard and it would be as good as this.

From Dusk Til Dawn--starts out as a great kidnapping action-adventure flick then turns into a silly undead vampire flick. Should have made two decent movies instead of one that is ruined by mixing genres.

Easy Rider--two bikers tour the country and nothing happens until the end. Should have put the ending closer to the beginning. I would have been happier.

Boogie Nights--Wow. A movie about porn flicks that is as bad as most porn flicks. Genius.

Spaceballs--I should actually record this movie and play it back when I'm having trouble sleeping.

A Clockwork Orange--Okay, a bunch of guys in their long johns like to beat people up. WTF makes this a classic?

A wee bit of the old in and out and some ultra violence. I enjoyed it along with most other set in the future films, but I don't think it's as great as others suggest. If Kubrick hadn't made 2001, very few people would gush over this film.

Debbie Does Dallas--Other than the title it's just another stupid porn flick with horrible acting and the most un-erotic scenes you can think of. Really, your cousin Joey could make a porn flick in his back yard and it would be as good as this.

Time and place. Deep Throat and Behind the Green Door started the whole "porno chic" movement. Debbie Does Dallas was simply one of the few titles available that had any kind of actual production values so that combined with the popularity of the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders are the only things that make it notable.

From Dusk Til Dawn--starts out as a great kidnapping action-adventure flick then turns into a silly undead vampire flick. Should have made two decent movies instead of one that is ruined by mixing genres.

I actually like that they threw in vampires without warning. The problem is the vampires were terrible and they decided to get campy with it and the special effects weren't very special.

Easy Rider--two bikers tour the country and nothing happens until the end. Should have put the ending closer to the beginning. I would have been happier.

Can't do biker films. I never made it through this one.

Boogie Nights--Wow. A movie about porn flicks that is as bad as most porn flicks. Genius.

Loved this film. Probably one of the most genuine portrayals of the porn industry at the time. The fact that it is heavily references the Wonderland murders also make it interesting.

Spaceballs--I should actually record this movie and play it back when I'm having trouble sleeping.

It certainly is NOT Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein. But it's funny, especially the first time you see it.

A Clockwork Orange--Okay, a bunch of guys in their long johns like to beat people up. WTF makes this a classic?

I absolutely agree with this. I saw it for the first time a few years ago expecting it to be awesome.

I almost turned it off. It was terrible.

The Godfather Series. I know this is heresy. I was home sick for 2 days and I watched all 3 of them back to back for the first because an Italian friend brought them by my house and said I HAD to watch them. Holy Crap it was BORING. I guess it is because I am not Italian.

Citizen Kane. I didn't like it at all. I don't even remember what it was about.

Pulp Fiction: I thought it was terrible. Boring, vulgar and disgusting with little to no point.

Kill Bill series: Just plain dumb

Reservoir Dogs: Again, just plain dumb.

Now that I think about it, pretty much any Quentin Tarantino Film: Pointless gratuitous violence with little to no story line and overly dramatized acting.

Three Kings: Hated it.

Donnie Darko: Dumb, the previews and stills are scarier that the movie.

I actually liked Spaceballs.:D

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory just plain creeps me out.

After Marky Mark shot the Haj with iron sights, the movie sucked. So... 5 minutes of it were good. :p

Anyone who grew up watching Goodfellas and Casino will hate the Godfather movies. They are too cerebral. But you have to remember they pretty much started it all.

Citizen Kane. I didn't like it at all. I don't even remember what it was about.

Even though I didn't know much about Hearst when I first saw it, I actually loved this film.

Pulp Fiction: I thought it was terrible. Boring, vulgar and disgusting with little to no point.

If they got rid of every scene with Uma Thurman in it, it would be a lot better. I also would have preferred a linear timeline, too many people do the disjointed flashback trying to show how clever they are. Eventually after several viewings I came to like parts of this movie. Could have been great, but it wasn't.

Kill Bill series: Just plain dumb

Right there with you. Only Natural Born Killers is worse. Both Kill Bill's are horrible.

Reservoir Dogs: Again, just plain dumb.

There was some substance. Not the greatest film every or anything close but there was something there.

Now that I think about it, pretty much any Quentin Tarantino Film: Pointless gratuitous violence with little to no story line and overly dramatized acting.

Try Jackie Brown.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory just plain creeps me out.

I pretty much hate ALL Tim Burton movies. Dark Shadows is the lone exception and it's simply ok, could have been lots better.

I had Reservoir Dogs figured out in the first ten minutes.

I've gotta say that pretty much any movie based on a Stephen King book is pathetic.

I despise any of the King Kong remakes. The original just conveyed the feeling of constant danger better IMHO. The latest remake with Tyrannosaurs dangling from vines really makes me want to puke.

I liked Citizen Kane because I studied it in film class and a lot of the ways the camera is used and scenes are framed, etc., was done for the first time in that movie IIRC. Before that there was little creativity in the actual presentation of the scene other than to just film the actors talking.

I used to be a huge Ray Harryhausen fan but seeing some of his movies again recently I can pretty much state with conviction that any "mammal" creature he made, be it a two-headed dog, saber-tooth tiger, or whatever, just looks like a stuffed kid's toy.

A friend of mine thinks Jurassic Park is an utter travesty compared to the book. I liked it because it brought dinosaur movies into the twenty-first century. Stop-motion animation died for good with Jurassic Park.

Movies about boats or revolving around boats i.e. The Hunt for Red October, Men with Honor, U571, Titanic, even Das Boot, etc.. not sure what it is as I am aware some are very good. I just cant stand to watch a movie that takes place on a boat; except Jaws which I love.

Definitely Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ive never even seen the entire movie and i'm 33.

I don't remember those either. They weren't bad, but I just didn't think it was a great as the "Goomba's" said it was.

Even though I didn't know much about Hearst when I first saw it, I actually loved this film.

I honestly don't remember what it was about.:(

Right there with you. Only Natural Born Killers is worse. Both Kill Bill's are horrible.

Natural Born Killers was the WORST movie that I have ever seen. I thought it was so bad it permanently colored my views of both Woody and the girl that was in it.

Try Jackie Brown.

I have never seen it. I pretty much just stay away from Tarantino films.

I pretty much hate ALL Tim Burton movies. Dark Shadows is the lone exception and it's simply ok, could have been lots better.

Really? I like most of Tim Burton films. But I was a closet Goth growing up. :D

I am pretty picky about movies though. I really only like Thrillers/Action/Sci-fi/Supernatural/Creepy Horror movies.

I actually really liked Paranormal Activity.:D

I concur.

However, they ARE all the same.

Every single "episode" someone gets a hand cut off, there is a "Death Star" that gets blown up. Basically the same plot over and over again only the characters are changed.

(Except Empire Strikes back which was NOT directed by Lucas and was my favorite)

But I still like them.:D

Yep. Empire is by far my favorite.

That is okay, we can't all be comfortable with our sexuality and express our feminine side.

I ended up going to the Exorcist instead with my gf. ****ing movie scared the crap out of me and I had to walk home from her house at like 3am and was traumatized for weeks. But that was still less psychological harm than I'd have endured sitting through the RHPS with a bunch of "drama major" students from the local community college.

I couldn't disagree more. That is probably the quintessential 80s movie. Even with the weirdness that surrounds Willem Dafoe (especially in this movie) it ****ing still rocks.

The car chase is the only significant one since Bullet in the 60s. You got Jane Leeves at the height of her hotness in lingerie playing lesbian games. It's got my two favorite black "karate guys" Steve James and Donnie Williams. And the whole thing was directed by William Friedkin of The Exorcist fame. And on top of that these two Federal agents manage to **** up almost everything, it's brilliant.

This is almost a Michael Mann movie and honestly this is the movie that Miami Vice should have been but sadly wasn't.

Of course I know who Jane is.

As for the gun handling, nothing worse than the shooting from the hip crap from US Special Forces no less. It was the 80s and almost nobody in Hollywood knew how to hold a damn gun.

And the storyline made the movie. Two guys who are supposed to be responsible Federal agents decide to work outside the lines in order to get the bad guys and end up doing things every bit as bad as the bad guys.

When they found out who Thomas Ling was it made the entire movie. They tried to do things the way a "TV cop would do it" and got "real world results." The whole movie was classic.

04-23-13, 11:56

You're right, it wasn't typical. Which is why it was a good story.

The problem is with the exception of The Green Berets and eventually We We're Soldiers, it was typical of Vietnam movies where many were portrayed as either drug addicted individuals who couldn't cope, objectionist draftees who didn't even want to be there, psychotic killers who loved it and one or two reluctant heroes whose purpose in the film is to expose the hypocrisy of the entire situation. While it may not have been typical of the Vietnam experience, it was typical of the standard film story about Vietnam.

But it wasn't a bad film.

Ok im gonna say this and hope i dont get banned.

ANY movie with John Wayne! I cant stand that guy and cant sit through his movies. Maybe cause i didnt grow up in the cowboy movie era.

Tried to watch the original True Grit last week and had to turn it off after a few min.

Flame suit on!

Well the only two movies of his I like are not even Westerns, The Green Berets and McQ. I mean who doesn't the like to the Duke running a MAC-10 with a can? Thank all that is holy Clint Eastwood came along and started making Westerns.

I wish someone would redo The Searchers and not film the staked plains of Northwest Texas in ****ing Monument Valley. :rolleyes:

And his acting had to have been better than Kevin Costner's in his version of the Wyatt Earp saga. Costner always sounds like he's reading his lines IMHO.

He was much better in Hatfields and McCoys, though.

Yep...Clint Eastwood's westerns were ten times better than anything John Wayne did.

Wayne always seemed hard to believe and over-acting. Eastwood has a more believable style and his movies were often more interesting. The plots were usually more creative and Eastwood did less of the loud, macho swaggering that made Wayne seem so phony and over done.

I just saw that a weekend ago.

I was actually impressed.

You guys that don't like John Wayne are just a bunch of Commie Pinko Mooslim Jihadist thread hijackers.

:D

Having said that: he got to be an old man and I preferred Clint at some point, too.

You forgot sheep.

Sheep because I would let the SWAT team in to check my house if they asked nicely. Because I want them out of my place fast and back on the trail to find the guy...not dicking with me and my refusal to give up my rights blabberings on my front porch.

You're gonna smoke a turd in hell for that one.

I'm not big on westerns in general, I prefer John Wayne for his WWII movies.

Ditto. I liked John Wayne best in In Harm's Way.

The Longest Day....;)

His western's seem more 'entertainment/comedy'.

I liked Three Kings and Donnie Darko.

Anything Tarantino, the only one I like is Inglorious Basterds. Any Star Trek movie. Any stupid Lord of the Rings and Twilight movie. Also any 007 movie except maybe the new ones (not much of a Bond fan). Any movie with Kostner in it, especially Water World. Ben Stiller and everything about him. Anything Stallone except Demolition Man, especially Rambo.

Classics to me: We Were Soldiers, Tommy Boy, all the Die Hards, all the Lethal Weapons, anything Clint Eastwood.. I can't think of more for some reason. All three of the new Batmans are soon to be on that list.

What, you didn't like Over the Top? :)

I did think Cobra was pretty good for a Stallone movie.

First Blood was decent but after that got stupid. Especially the last one.

I still like the original First Blood, I think it's pretty damn good. The others are retarded.

Really? I thought Kilmer was the best Doc Holliday ever.

I agree.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is awesome by the way, Val Kilmer is hilarious in it.

I never liked Stallone very much and after his anti second views I dislike him even more. The only reason I like Demolition Man is because Sandra Bullock is in it and she is banging, even now, and Snipes is the man.

Wesley Snipes just got out of jail after 3 years for tax evasion....Demolition Man is a good movie.

From what I know whoever did his taxes screwed him over but who knows.. And yes it is, probably the only Stallone movie I will ever watch again.

'Judge Dredd' was much better than the new 'Dredd'. Cliffhanger was ok. Just looked imdb at every movie he's been in and count about 4 I wouldn't mind watching. The rest are crap.

Both Tombstone and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are great movies.

I can't stand Top Gun though.

Am I the only one who noticed that Tom Cruise probably started WW3 at the end of that flick?

My favorite Kilmer movie is The Saint. He was in some other good ones around the same time, too, then he got fat and started his B movie career. :rolleyes:

I pretty much hate ALL Tim Burton movies. Dark Shadows is the lone exception and it's simply ok, could have been lots better.

I like the "Nightmare before Christmas" though I don't really know why.

There are 2 different "Charley and the Chocolate Factory" movies. The original (Actually called "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" but the same thing) with Gene Wilder, and then the 2005 one with Johnny Depp.

I like the original. The new one -- not so much.

Nightmare Before Christmas wasn't Tim Burton. That was Henry Sellick. As was Coraline. (And I like both of those films, **** you guys.)

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory > Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Gene Wilder was amazing (my favorite scene being the rowboat scene), while Depp came off as trying to play Michael Jackson.

Then why does the cover for it say

Tim Burton's
Nightmare Before Christmas?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107688/

eta: The director may have been Sellick, but Tim Burton wrote it.

Yeah, Tim Burton did write it. However, we've seen what happens when Tim Burton directs things... (Alice in Wonderland/Batman) and it never ends well. (Edward Scissorhands was good, even though I expect everybody here to hate it.)
