Shitty movies that everyone loves
Here are a couple of my most hated-popular movies.
1.Requiem For a Dream-
This movie is fucking retarded, almost as dumb as letting you son pawn your T.V. everyday, or believing that you really did win a spot on television. The storyline is weak, and the drug sequences get old in a hurry. I hate people who like this movie, but most of all, I hate stoners who like this movie, "Yeah, man, it's a trip to watch it while you're baked". Did you not watch the movie, you fucking child rapist? God damn. On second thought, what I hate even more than that, are the people who feel like they can 'relate' to the movie, who grew up in the suburbs with both parents.
2.Scarface-
This is a pretty good movie, but I'm sick of tons of fucking Mexicans running around in Scarface shirts thinking they're hard. If you really thing that rhinestones on that shirt you bought at the swap meet represents the message of the movie, SUCK ON A FUCKING SHOTGUN!
3.Donnie Darko-
Sure, it's entertaining, and Jake Gyllenhaal is is bad ass no matter what he does, but when you get down to it, there is nothing to figure out , or, 'understand', because nothing makes sense, and it's never going to, at least not logically, anyway. This isn't a puzzle just for you, and you aren't special, so just just go buy some more black clothes and AFI cd's.
3.The Boondock Saints-
Yeah, I don't like this movie, it's pretty retarded. I mean, look at the 'Fire Fight' scene, Willem Difoe flailing around like a fucking victim of parkinson's, with his goofy fucking CD player strapped to his waist, playing not-too ironic music.
Troy Duffy went for style, over substance, and it shows. I'm not saying you can't pull not so good story off with style, just think of '3000 miles to Graceland'
5. Wassup Rockers-
Jesus fucking christ.
6.House of 1000 Corpses(Or anything else Rob Zombie touches)
Let's nail a few things down, Rob zombie can't write or directs, and has mega hot wife, and he wants to make a couple of movies. Hmmm, what does he do? put his super hot wife's ass in his movies so that maybe you'll forget about his ridicules dialog, or lack of plot, or just how annoying that super hot wife is.

Re: Shitty movies that everyone loves
I'm with ya with Requiem, it's not good it just made me sad.
What pisses me off is around here everyone loves AvP and most of them have never heard of Alien or Predator, that and they consider it a horror movie.

Re: Shitty movies that everyone loves
I'd agree with Scarface and Donnie Darko(Would be number one on my list), and I understand why you put number 4 up there.
I would disagree with Requiem for a Dream though. Great movie.
I would add to my list Butterfly Effect. What a dumb fucking movie.

Gotta be honest, I didn't enjoy American Beauty all that much.
Maybe I have to watch it again.

Thank you. Every time someone says they like this movie, I want to tell them to fucking grow up.

Lord of the Rings I thought those movies sucked so bad. Pirates of the Caribean as well.

Re: Shitty movies that everyone loves
Definitely Donnie Darko. My god, I was so psyched to see it because everyone had been so crazy about it.. and then I saw it.. and I was not amused.
Also, Lost in Translation, Million Dollar Baby and Memoirs of a Geisha.

Re: Shitty movies that everyone loves
I like a lot of the movies mentioned. I tend to disregard the hype people give movies, because I don't trust many peoples opinions on movies, and I try to watch the movie ignoring the fact that Bob, Jimmy, and Sarah say this is their favorite movie of all time. This seems to let me see a movie as it really is.
Because, yes, people super-hyping an ok movie can make the movie even worse than it really is.
Surprised no one mentioned '300,' but maybe all you kids liked that movie.

That movie could be put in the dictionary under the word "hype". I liked that movie..I lreally liked it. But it wasn't the fucking awesome testosterone-fest everyone said it would be.
Plus,barely any of the people who saw the movie actually read the graphic novel by Miller. Most of the people who saw it didn't have a clue that it was an adaptation. Until the credits rolled, of course.

Re: Shitty movies that everyone loves
I knew 300 was a comic book adaption and knowing that let me appreciate the movie a little more than my friend who was expecting some historical accuracy. Frankly he was stupid for expecting that. It looked stylized as all hell in the trailer and that's exactly what we got.

Re: Shitty movies that everyone loves
^ I love Garden State! Although I purely put that down to being a female.
Donnie Darko I don't agree with either, its not shitty, its at least half decent. I watched it again last night for the 2nd time and everything finally clicked for me as far as the story went.
Clerks is pretty fucking shit though, although thats not exactly a well known popular movie(s).

These were awesome, don't know what your problem was.
But yeah, the one really popular movie I never liked was The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I mean, it wasn't completely bad, it was entertaining for the first time, but I don't see it as coming off as such badass shit that people make it out to be.

Do.
I disagree about Donnie Darko and Butterfly effect. I think they are both good deffo.
I was pissed about how people rave about x-men and spiderman. They could have been collosal movies but instead they are just mediocre imo.

Lost in Translation is a big one for me. For those who really like this movie, can you please explain why? I really want to know.
