You know there are a few to you. You can't understand why everyone else seems to like them when you yourself can't STAND them. So, what movies seems to be on everyone else's favorite list... while they're totally disliked by you?
Here are mine:
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: I like Wonka candy (Nerds and Runts are awesome), but I HATE the movies. They're awful. Bunch of bratty kids win some trip to some psychosis candy factory, sign a waver that lawyers would laugh at, and get them stupid selves into stupid messes. And then some anti-social kid named Charlie wins, it ends, and some annoying song starts playing.
I haven't seen the new version of this (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), and I certainly don't intend on it. It looks even worse, like the producers did a double-take on the LSD this time. And that one part with that girl becoming a fat blueberry still disturbs me to this day. I know they made it even worse in the new one...
I don't see what other people see in this movie...
The Di Vinci Code - Zzzz. I don't go to the movies very often, and the one time I did with a few friends, it was a sleeper. Some random stuff happens, makes it impossible for the viewer to connect everything without seeing it multiple times, and brings up a lot of... weirdness. Murder, car chase, weird psycho torturing himself, driving around, end up back in the same place anyway, end. You can't help but feel like you've missed half the movie even though you've been patiently sitting through it the entire time.
I would love for Leonardo Di Vinci to come down and give this movie a big WTF. Seriously. And man did this receive a LOT OF HYPE for the little that it actually was. A great "Oh dang, I can't go to sleep -- Oh wait, here's a movie to go to sleep with!" kind of film.
The Shining - Hilarious for all the wrong reasons is a movie that failed at being scary. OMG, kid moving toward the bathroom, scary music playing, is there going to be something in the bathroom behind the shower curtain? OF COURSE THERE IS! And loads of other incredibly predictable and unintentionally hilarious events both after and prior to that. The part where the guy gets hit on the head with a swing moving by itself is just too funny. Plus you hate all the characters so much that you honestly don't care if they all die. That's the best part of most horror films.
A great example of how badly cliches can ruin a movie. Yet... somehow some people find it as a good horror movie...
