Movies you expected to hate...and did!

The Horse Whisperer

Yeah…I second that one. Not worth the 2 hrs I put into it because it starred Robert Redford. I just figured the trailer wasn’t giving it credit.

Horse Whisperer? I never saw the movie but the book wasn’t so great IMHO.

The eldest daughter made me go with her to see The Brady Bunch. Yep, I hated the tv show and I hated the movie.


He,he, but I made her go with me to see Rob Roy as payback. The only problem was that she loved it as much as I did.

Why do people go to movies they expect to hate? I’ll never understand
that. I save a lot of money by avoiding movies I think I’ll hate! :slight_smile:

My buddy’s wife got free tickets to The Notebook. They both hated it.
The wife said they needed to go do something manly afterward so she
could shed the excess estrogen.

yeah the topic title “Movies you had to go to because someone drags you along that you expected to hate…and did”
just didnt feel right…

Yeah, a touch wordy, I suppose.

Titantic.

Highschool musical and the Phantom of the Opera
Horrible…

Any Steven Seagal movie after Marked For Death.

Any Seagal movie, for me. He doesn’t act. He displays.

Last Year in Marienbad. In our house, a byword for the kind of film we don’t want to watch.

Of course. That’s all anyone ever watches his films for.

Know what you mean. Around here it used to be Agnes of God.

Fargo

Agnes of God is one of my favorite movies.

Fargo is one of my favorite movies.

!:slight_smile:

Emm, nooooooooo!

It’s great. You must mean the other Fargo.

It lost me at the policeman’s head gushing blood.
Then those 2 idiots meaninglessly killing everyone who had the bad luck to cross paths with them.
And the woodchipper???
The basic thought process in the film was: “I’m too stupid to think of anything else to do, so I guess I’ll kill you.”
The pregnant policewoman making it thru to the end was possibly the only, slight saving grace.

Ick, ick, ick. Completely without redemptive value.

Legends of the Fall.

I saw that movie in Berkeley when I was in college and the entire audience was jeering at it. When the woman shot herself, everyone clapped.

Loved Fargo, BTW.

Ohhh… That Fargo… :smiley:
