Anything that Judd Apatow is involved with, based on what I’ve read about his films.
 
Cider House Rules
Brokeback Mountain
Black Swan
Pulp Fiction
Lord of the Rings (tried to watch - don’t get it at all)
Transformer movies
Movies where the jokes have to do with bodily functions - heard Bridesmaids was funny, but I think some of the jokes fall under this category so I’ve skipped it.

Oh, do give LOTR another try.

Start here.
 
Not going to list them because it would be far too long! I really don’t like watching movies:shrug: I never have. My husband loves them, so I do watch them with him every now and then. I can’t think of a movie, ever, that I looked forward to watching…

Judd Apatow’s movies, including “Knocked Up” (which was pro-life), are actually very “conservative.” This is from Breitbart’s site:

*"Quick! Think fast – who’s making the most morally conservative films in Hollywood?

The answer may surprise you, but it’s none other than Judd Apatow. Yes, the writer-director of “The 40 Year Old Virgin,” “Knocked Up” and the new film “Funny People” might have a reputation for creating profanity-filled R-rated raunch, but in reality they’re actually films that uphold traditional values. And the fact that Apatow sneaks messages that are pro-life in “Knocked Up,” anti-promiscuity in “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and (SPOILER ALERT) upholds marriage against the temptation and forgiveness of infidelity in “Funny People” under the surface of all the dirty talk, means that he’s found a way to preach to far more than the usual choir and spread positive moral messages to those who might otherwise never choose to hear them."*

Havana,

Glad you posted this! I was coming on here to share that 40 Year-Old Virgin does wind up having a good message and we certainly enjoyed it. Got to agree with Breibart!

🙂
 
All of them.

The last movie I saw was iron man 2, and that was because I was at a friend’s bachelor party. Before that, it was the simpsons movie in 2007, and before that it was Robots in 2005. You get the idea. I haven’t been in a theater in years, and I haven’t even watched any movies on video lately.
 
  1. Brokeback Mountain-----Like everybody else here has said…
  2. Paparazzi-----------Pro-Vigilante, morally repugnant claptrap.
  3. A Time To Kill--------same as above.
  4. Fatal Attraction---------too nasty for me.
  5. Million Dollar Baby--------no, thank you.
Those are off the top of my head.

More may come later.

Great thread.

Let’s keep it up.
 
I just thought of another one that I never intend to see:

“Battlefield Earth” w/ John Travolta
 
The Da Vinci Code (just can’t get by that premise!)

Anything with:
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Steven Seagal
Chuck Norris
Vin Diesel
Dwayne Johnson (The Rock)
Dolph Lundgren

These genres:
“Romantic Comedies”
“Coming of Age Movies”
and my personal favorite “The Feel Good Movie of the Year!” (Guaranteed to be a turkey!) :bigyikes:

Most movies over the last 30 years or so were not released; they escaped! I worked in a theater in the early '60s and have seen a lot of movies and can say you got that right … on both accounts!!! They seem to be relying on special effects to carry a bad story. Also, every movie, it seems, has to have an obligatory liberal social message.
