Here's another one for you to chew on....I didn't really like Fight Club either.

Hell yes... I've seen A LOT of movies, and it is the only one that made me fall asleep. I refuse to see the other two.

I am in shock that others mentioned Citizen Kane and Gods & Generals... two of my favorites :(

Ah well, I'm sure I hurt some LOTR fans ;)

Probably Paycheck

On a side note, I watched Lost in Translation for the first time the other night and have to say I liked it. Sophia Coppola won an award for the screenplay, but I felt the cinematography was what made the film. Every shot said something... Even if nothing really happened :p There was even something for the average ATOTer, ie. the female lead being in panties for much of the film :laugh:

Titanic. The first bit, technical stuff about exploring, was kinda okay, but the rest of it was horrible. And it gets minus points for that godawful song that is still stuck in my head.

Videodrome was boring, incoherent, and rather stupid.
Xtro was just rather boring and stupid. Xtro 3 wasn't much better, though actually watchable.
The Russia House was the dullest Sean Connery movie evar.
The Maltese Falcon was such a waste of my time it's not even funny. Thankfully I taped it off TV, and promptley put something better in its place.
Nemesis III: Prey Harder How that movie was ever, ever got green lit I'll never know. The FX look like someone sneezed on the camera lens. Pretty much the same for part 2, though that one had a shade more story (if you can call it that).

As for people mentioning Lost in Translation, from what I hear it's a pure love it or hate it movie. There's no middle of the road. Some friends I have who've seen it hate it (rather pedophelic undertones it's said), so I'm in no rush to see it either.

The Passion of the Christ?

I just got done watching it a couple of minutes ago, and even for this agnostic I found it quit moving.

Heat (aside from the armored car robbery)
Lord of the Rings 1, 2, and especially 3. I walked out of the theater halfway into the second one, and have no idea why I finished the third.

Yes I fell asleep too... my wife took me to see ROTK and I was almost snoring anytime I didn't hear metal shields or swords clang.

2001: A Space Oddessy, yes it was good, but there were soooo many parts of just silence...

everytime i was stayed home sick from school when my father got home he would make me watch that...i think it was cruel torture...i mean its a great movie, but not when you have a fever and are sick...or it was just his way of getting me to sleep, in which case i normally did about half way

its a great movie if you need a nap

id never seen it before, not in its entirety; so i got it from netflix

jesus....i dont know how i watched the whole thing, but it was boring as hell
