h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OK, in antithesis to the other thread, name your least favourite cinematic experience...

in no particular order and excluding 50s B movies...

1. Titanic
2. Indpendence Day
3. Godzilla (the recent one)
4. 9 1/2 weeks (come on - it was just BORING)
5. Star Wars -the Phantom Menace. Crap crap crap crap crap- and Jar Jar Binks - Puh-lease?
6. Spiderman Strikes Back - a piece of cack I had the mispleasure to go to see in the 70s
7. Home Alone
8. The Mummy Returns
9. Tarzan (the one with Bo Derek)
10. Three Men and a Baby

Damn, just when I was warming up.

Can we settle for top ten movies I resented paying money to have seen?

Godzilla
ID4
JFK
Platoon
Lethal Weapon 2
Phantom Menace
Blind Fury
Battlestar Galactica The Movie
The World is Not Enough
Hercules (Disney)

I should, for the record, point out I have not seen the whole of Titanic or Four Weddings, or I'm sure they'd both be on there from little I have seen.

Oh, just missing the list;

Jurassic Park II
Return of The Jedi

fair enough - that's probably the ones that will make you really hate them.

Lethal Weapon 2 - I liked that. That series went downhill at 3 for me.

I drew the line when I heard what Pearl Harbour was like so that's missing from mine. Only because I haven't seen it yet.

The most depressing thing is that most people I'm acquainted with have Independence Day and Godzilla as the cornerstones of their video collection

...did I say yet? Ignore that three letter word there...

I just *hated* it. I actually fell asleep before the end i was that bored.
Joss Ackland and that awful sith afr'cin axsent, and Patsy bl**dy Kensit.

Any action blockbuster made in the last 10 years. Any romantic comedy ever. They're not romantic and they're not funny.

Actually, I would like to thank the Hollywood studio heads for producing such a small selection of films this year, all of which are unimaginative sequels or remakes. It has forced me to get off my arse and watch some independent movies, which have been (mostly) excellent.

10. Superman IV
9. The Avengers
8. Godzilla
7. Little Nicky
6. Jurassic Park III
5. Star Trek V
4. Batman and Robin
3. Supernova
2. Friday the 13th Part III
1. Showgirls

So many to choose from!
-Eagle 1

I fell asleep during Godzilla. Which is quite an achievement when Matthew Broderick's on the big screen!

Any action movie in the last 10 years...

The Matrix? Surely that was not bad?

I also thoroughly enjoyed Swordfish too last year

Most though, I'd agree

Well I thought the first Jurassic Park was cack so I've not even seen 2.

Is it true they even feature Barney the Dinosaur
in the third one?

Biggest disappointments:

Mission Impossible 2 - great trailer, great action, why was it so rubbish?
Jeepers Creepers - fantastic start, Coppola's name attached, what happened?
Halloween H2O - John Carpenter back in the directors chair, but to little effect.
Vampires - John Carpenter lets us all down again - what's ailing you, boy?
Ronin - They could have all been killed and I wouldn't have cared. Actually, maybe they did get killed, I didn't watch it all.

Okay then. Some films that really *stank*. I mean really. Not just films that I didn't like much but which everyone else loved....

Universal Soldier
Don't go breaking my heart
Primal Fear
Swingers
X Men
Stalin (dreadful US biopic)

not ten yet, but I'm working on it....

Otto

X-Men? I liked it. It wasn't fantastic, but it was enjoyable. It had a great baddie in Magneto, and by the end, I wanted those claw things that Wolverine has

I'm sorry, but after being forced to watch it against my will the entire bottom 10 of my list, and a few other positions, is taken up with 'Meet The Parents' or whatever it was.

I have never been for so many ciggie breaks in a film in my life!

Words fail me....

*whispers*

Alien 3 - the one on the prison ship or whatever it was

Again, not brilliant by any means, but enjoyable.

'Are you a pot-head, Focker?'

Still, I liked De Niro in Rocky and Bullwinkle, so perhaps I'm not qualified to judge...

Oh yeah, Alien 3 is the pits -squeezed alongside some utter classics which is a shame really.

It was a bit of a chicken impression as as far as I could tell..

"F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-F***-fa-f**k"

Probably win's that gratuitous award that Douglas Adams wrote about once

Brian glover was good in Aliens3, though. 'Once again, this is rumour control...'Used that one more than once. Always good to point out to Fincher-ites that its a bag of pants as well.

I thought vampires was at least cheap and unpretentious, putting it several marks ahead of most of caropenter's work since, oh, Halloween, really...
