Classic films you don't rate.

[FoxesAreBlue]

Gladiator - I've never made it all the way through without falling asleep.

[Phube]

All famous musicals

 

Surely no "Singin' in the Rain" AMAZING film!?

 

Had a fall out with the missus over 'Crash'.  She said how amazing it is & how it makes you think?  Absolute shite.  You need to watch more films!!

 

And anything by Quentin Tarantino

 

Crash:  or Crash: 

 

 

For me (and I'm now 410 through the Empire top 500 films (circa 2008):

 

Bladerunner

2001; A Space Odyssey

Dr. Strangelove et. al

A Clockwork Orange

Manhattan

Brazil

Blue Velvet

The French Connection

Don't Look now

 

And ANYTHING by Terence Malick

[ousefox]

I thought Requiem for a Dream was ****ing awful. 

 

My mate says it's his favourite film but I barely got through it.

[foxfanazer]

Anyone who says Shawshank is an idiot. One of the best films ever made.

Crash (the racism one) had a script which could have been written by a 4 year old.

[Fosse93]

Any of the Star Wars films.

Thought I was the only one!

[Rocket-Ron]

Willy wonka. Not that I think it's rubbish it's just he scares the sh1t out of me.

[ousefox]

Forgot to add Inglorious Bastards to the list. Thought that was crap. Probably not a classic though.

 

Think Saving Private Ryan is very very overrated too.

I love the guy but his recent stuff has been guff.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Three Ninja Kids. Awful.

And Star Wars can fvck itself. And anything with wizards, dragons, hobbits or Caribbean pirates.

[cambridgefox]

I must be a right sad act,I've hardly seen any of the films mentioned.

At least it was short..

Might upset a few people here but I've seen 5 or 6 Bond films and they do nothing for me at all. I knew exactly how the plot was going to develop in each and that kills a film for me.

Look beyond all the style and there's next to no substance there imho.

Matrix is a good shout btw. Boring as shit I thought.

Does anyone think of Bond films as 'classic'?

Don't think it would class as a "classic film" but I do agree, atrocious.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Never seen Avatar because I thought it would be shit so if anyone ever mentions it to me I say 'yeah, didn't like it', that ends that.

 

Titanic.

Slumdog Millionaire

Gladiator

Slumdog millionaire I liked, the other 2 flipping chronic.

Some of the old Bond films are classic, yeah.

 

And who said Saving Private Ryan is just wrong - it's a fantastic film.

[Adster]

Has to be Star Wars. Never even found them in the slightest bit interesting. 

 

And Titanic, boring. 

[Kitchandro]

The Russian roulette scenes are good entertainment in the Deer Hunter but the first hour of the film is mind-numbing. It would be much better if it was an hour shorter.

 

Totally agree with that. In fact the Russian roulette scenes are utterly brilliant. But the rest of it is just boring.

 

I'd also go with the Matrix, Lord of the Rings, any of that geeky crap. Stupid, comic book stories jazzed up with fancy special effects. Yawn.

 

I didn't think much to The Good The Bad and The Ugly. None of the characters are likeable and none of them have an ounce of depth, the story is hardly imaginative or interesting, some scenes are seemingly thrown in randomly in a half hearted attempt to add something more to it, and pretty much the whole thing just feels like a forced build up to the end scene.

 

Great soundtrack though, maybe that's why it's so popular.

[Kitchandro]

I can't believe Saving Private Ryan and Gladiator have been mentioned. I'm horrified. 2 of the best films I've ever watched.

[Tuna]

I see the Matt Dillon film Crash has been mentioned. What an unbelievably pleased with itself film. And it was absolute SHIT.

[Soar Fox]

I thought The Godfather was a bit boring.

Much preferred Scarface and Goodfellas.
