Not trying to be rebellious here, but I just wondered if there were movies that you know are universally loved, yet you hate/loathe/dislike very much...a lot of the movies in my previous thread are hated by many, so these two threads are seeking different things.

I dislike E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, for example.

How about you?

Judging by its box office about ten more people saw it and apparently they all loved it to death, but personally I think The Hurt Locker is one of the worst movies ever filmed.

Lost in Translation is pretty bad IMO

"Hate" is a very strong word, but I will go with Andrei Rublev.

Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind. Mostly because of Rusell Crowe, I hate the bastard.

Lost in Translation. I found it dull and pointless.

Well, I'd never even heard of it until your post. I kind of meant a film that is universally loved by the public, not critics and awards. It's not a very well known movie, you must agree on this? For example, there's no thread in the Thread Archive here ar WOKJ and at Rotten Tomatoes it has a grand total of 16 reviews. It manages to find its way into "Top 100" lists, but I have no idea why.

I looked through imdb's top 250 and I'm struggling to find something I really Hate.

Just choose one you dislike then. All it really has to do is counter popular opinion to be included. Here are all of mine that I think are total crap.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
The Exorcist (1973)
The Godfather Part III
The Godfather
The Godfather Part II
The Royal Tenenbaums
A Clockwork Orange
Deliverance
The Wicker Man (original)

Hate is a strong word, I can see that they are "good" films made really well, I just refuse to watch these films ever again.

Why do you refuse to watch them ever again?
