 Universally loved films that you hate? 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?

Re: Universally loved films that you hate? 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.

Re: Universally loved films that you hate? "Hate" is a very strong word, but I will go with Andrei Rublev.

Re: Universally loved films that you hate? Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind. Mostly because of Rusell Crowe, I hate the bastard.
Lost in Translation. I found it dull and pointless.

Re: Universally loved films that you hate? David wrote: "Hate" is a very strong word, but I will go with Andrei Rublev. 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. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: Universally loved films that you 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.
