Tags:
- Me, Myself, & Irene (2000; Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly) - Some Jim Carrey movies I really like. This is not one of them.
- Man on the Moon (1999; Milos Forman) - Nor this one
- The Cable Guy (1996; Ben Stiller) - Nor this one
- The Mask (1994; Chuck Russell) - Nor this one
- Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978; John De Bello) - But it is worth seeing one time
- Cast Away (2000; Robert Zemeckis) - Tears? Yes. But tears of boredom created by the yawns.
- A Clockwork Orange (1971; Stanley Kubrick) - I tried because I really enjoy Malcolm McDowell. But I just could not handle it.
- Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986; John McNaughton) - Worth seeing once, but terribly gory.
- Hollow Man (2000; Paul Verhoeven) - Hollow plot
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008; Steven Spielberg) - Looks like the rule for Indie is the same as the rule for Microsoft. Watch out for even numbered versions. Unlike Temple of Doom it was worth seeing once.
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984; Steven Spielberg) - What a waste of time and film
- The Piano (1993; Jane Campion) - The LAST thing I wanted to see was Harvey Keitel au naturale. And that, sad to say, was the high point (no pun intended)
- Jurassic Park: The Lost World (1997; Steven Spielberg) - Worth seeing once? I do enjoy Jeff Goldblum
- Kill Bill, vol.1 (2003; Quentin Tarantino) - Too many eye-rolling events
- Little Shop of Horrors (1960; Roger Corman) - Worth seeing once, but the musical is much, much better. Nicholson's come a long way.
- Pirates of the Caribbean: At the World's End (2007; Gore Verbinski) - They should have stopped with the first one. Its a classic. The other two seem to exist so fans could see the same characters again. Plot? Evidently, not considered.
- Pittsburg (2006; Chris Bradley, Kyle LaBrache) - Worth seeing once. A few scenes of interesting silliness.
- Se7en (1995; David Fincher) - Well done, couldn't handle the ending.
- The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974; Tobe Hooper) - I have no idea why this is a cult classic. I thought it was stupid.
- Titanic (1997; James Cameron) - There were, throughout the entire film, about 30 min. worth watching. But they weren't all together.
- Tremors II: Aftershocks (1996; S.S. Wilson) - Fred Ward and Michael Gross are the only things making this flick worth watching, but without the full remaining cast, they are unable to carry it off
- Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001; Brent Maddock) - Weak attempt to make the theme of Tremors a comedy.
Author Comments:
Highlighted ones are ones I've seen recently. Others are either ones I remember or have been suggested by others. I have another list for movies that I will never willingly see.
perhaps then you could add
Return of the Killer Tomatoes! (1988)
Killer Tomatoes Strike Back! (1990)
Killer Tomatoes Eat France! (1991)
to your list
Well.... I'd have to watch them first to put them here. Maybe I should have a list of films I will never willingly watch and these could head that list. Hmmmmmm. Its an idea.
How about Pirates of the Carribean, 'At World's End'? I think they should have stopped after the first one (which was hands down the best one)
Yes. Thank you. The second was kind of OK. Only kind of. I think they should have let the first be the only. It was terrific.
I enjoy most of these...
How was Kill Bill eye-rolling? It was supposed to be unrealistic.
Sometimes I can suspend disbelief and sometimes I can't. While I know many people who enjoyed Kill Bill 1, I didn't.
I guess you didn't see that episode of Mad About You when the main female character's mother made the comment about seeing Harvey Keitel's wiener.
You list made me laugh and nod in agreement.
