Movies you hate but all of your friends love...

Something fun for a Friday night. Just seeing if there are any like-minded posters on the board.

For me.
Indiana Jones series
Karate Kid series (although #2 isn't as annoying)

I can't think of any more off the top of my head. Throwing in another thing, an actor I can't watch. Harrison Ford. Regarding Henry is his best performance IMHO. Han Solo, miss me. In the world of Star Wars, if you aren't a Jedi then you are garbage.

Any thoughts?

Man, you don't like those? I can't think of any, but I do love Indiana Jones, except the last one. The first Karate Kid was good.

Indiana was awesome(until Blanchett and the skull) as was Hans imho. Fugitive is Fords best.

My friends love Office Space and BioDome and I cant stand either.

Home Alone and Ace Ventura

Scarface
All the non-original Star Wars films except for Rogue One
Pulp Fiction(I HATE Tarantino)

Actor? Nicholas Cage, always finds a way to whine like a little...

 

[RealtyNole]

Top Gun

The Matrix

Actor? Tom Cruise. He’s just creepy as all get out to me.

 

[iowanole1]

Big Lebowski. Didn’t hate it, but some act like it’s a top 5 movie.

 

[montconole]

Pulp Fiction

 

[Dr. Nole]

Not a movie but the TV series "The Office".

Big Lebowski. Didn’t hate it, but some act like it’s a top 5 movie.

Agreed here. It’s not bad but i got bored with it pretty quick.

Top Gun

The Matrix

OMG! The Matrix?!?!?!??! Please. Please explain why you don't like such a revolutionary movie. I mean I remember seeing that movie in theaters and everyone's mind was blown away expectation wise. I have never met a person that didn't like the first Matrix. I like 1 and 2 myself, 3 is obviously a problem but hey Chis Nolan didn't land the 3rd Batman either.

Ghostbusters. I saw this in the theater when it came out. I was 12 or so at the time. Maybe too young to get the humor? I liked Bill Murray from seeing Meatballs and Stripes, liked other movies from the former SNL guys like Animal House and Blues Brothers. Just didn't get what was funny about Ghostbusters. The little bits and pieces I've watched on tv since then haven't made it any funnier. Somewhat agree about Big Lebowski. I had friends quoting that one for years before I finally watched it recently. I didn't find it nearly as funny or clever as Raising Arizona or Fargo, or even Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

V for Vendetta
Goonies
Princess Bride

Goonies does nothing for me too.

Yikes. How many episodes did you watch?

 

[Dr. Nole]

Yikes. How many episodes did you watch?

One too many.

 

[EveryoneBleedsGarnet]

One too many.

Mind bottling

I know I am in the minority with this...it just never hit my "funny" button.

 

[nynole1]

Not a movie but the TV series "The Office".

Put me down for Seinfeld in that case.

 

[F4Gary]

Put me down for Seinfeld in that case.

Put me down for "Lost".

 

[EveryoneBleedsGarnet]

I hate ANY show with a laugh track so that would include popular shows like Friends, Seinfeld and Big Bang Theory.

 

[nynole1]

Put me down for "Lost".

That show broke my heart. It was very good for a couple of seasons, but failed big-time to live up to it's potential. I would put walking dead and GoT into the same category.

 

[Dr. Nole]

I have never seen an episode of Lost.

 

[F4Gary]

I have never seen an episode of Lost.

I only watched the first 10 minutes of the first episode. When they had a jet engine laying on the beach all by itself running at full speed I tuned out.

 

[More Kirk Less Spock]

Yikes. How many episodes did you watch?

The Office takes a while to get into it but by the end it is fabulous.

So I'm not the only one??

I remember going to the theater to see it when it came out. Since the same guys did "Raising Arizona" (one of the funniest movies ever, IMO), I figured it would be really good. So, after about 5 or so minutes - I haven't laughed and I'm thinking 'well, it'll get funny soon'....all in all, I may have LOL'd 2-3 times IIRC. It's a decent movie but it's one of those that people say that love just to 'fit in' and you're 'supposed' to say you like it...

Same goes for "Shawshank Redemption." It's ok....but to me a great movie is one I could sit and watch every time it's on. Good movie - not an all time great, IMO.
