I enjoyed Full Metal Jacket. Well, not sure 'enjoyed' is the right word (much as I can't really claim to have 'enjoyed' the Shawshank redemption, but list it in my top 10 favourite films), but it was a damn good film.
Bad films?
Twister: (You know they're
evil meteorologists because they drive a black car. Walked out of the cinema on this one it was so bad.)
The Thin Red Line: (Too long, too much angsty inner-monologue, wtf is going on anyway?)
Titanic: Just crap, really. Although you do get to see LdC drown at the end, so it does have at least one redeeming feature.
Anything with Sylvester Stallone in it. It's a sad state of affairs when the most enjoyable film of a person's career is "Stop or my Mom will shoot."
Anything (ie much of Disney's output) that takes a well-loved classic story that has stood the test of time (Winnie the Pooh, Hunchback of Notre Dam, Beauty & the Beast) then inserts a few cute, marketable comedy cartoon characters, lots of inappropriate accents, changes the original ending to bland, generic schmaltz and then flogs the result back to the world (the story's original owners), shrink wrapped and repackaged with a line of franchised Happy Meal toys.
Pretty much anything based on "a true story" or "true historical accounts" if it then goes on to disregard the truth and rewrite history completely.
Anything specifically designed to make small children pester their parents into buying them crap (pokemon et al)
Came across
The TV.Cream top100 films list today. An interesting selection from an excellent website, and no Star Wars in sight. It's fairly UK-centric, but take a look. There's a few in there I'll be hooking out of the bargain bin.
