What movie is most likely to get caught in your challopian tube?

I love It's a Wonderful Life--it's a wonderful movie!!!

yeah i think liking it is a 'c'(ugh) now, and i like it. I have to recharge on it though, once+ a year is pushing it at this point

Anyone with unkind words for "Christmas Story"?

No, but I've never seen it.

Donnie Darko sucks

Ugh. Velvet Frakking Goldmine. BLACH! BLEUCH!

I love Velvet Goldmine. Dark Knight and Shawshank Redemption can both fuck off, though.

fuck em - donnie darko, saving private ryan, batman begins & other try hard shitfests

fuck the haters - jackie chan's oeuvre, 5th element

I warmed up to Velvet Goldmine when I saw it the second time. The first time, it was a major disappointment.

watched Shawshank again recently, my original liking for it vanished astonishingly quickly. thought it was shit.

"No, but I've never seen it."

?? this is the one about Ralphie who wants a red ryder BB gun. it is on TV about as much as It's a Wonderful Life round xmastime.

5th Element is a big favorite in this house, the kids won me over by demanding repeated viewings.

Juno was decent but are sonic youth really more unlistenable than kimya dawson???

The Fifth Element's script was so clearly written by dude at age 15

So glad that bombed. Maybe the remakes will slow down.

what is that a picture of? Live action Bratz?

Fame

interestingly enough, none of those people are actually in the movie

Thumbsucker was pretty crappy.

(tie):
American Beauty
Lost In Translation
Babel

all horrible.

I was at a training course at work, where the ice breaker was to name your favorite movie ever, round the table. Opting not to pick this moment to defend the honor of Tinto Brass or Jodorowsky, I chose Touch of Evil (a well-liked thriller, with Charlton Heston in). I spoke briefly, but with feeling. The guy running the course, who had introduced himself as "a bit of a movie buff", then rounded off the exercise by talking contemptuously about people "who had had a bit of time to think even coming up with with black and white films", before going on to enthuse about The Shawshank Redemption.

I rose and snapped his neck like a twig, the cheers of my colleagues ringing in my ears.

We saw a pirated version of Babel without any subtitles, which made it vaguely interesting.

I also found House of 1000 Corpses to be pretty head-clutchingly bad.

Same here.

The first thing I think of when I think of horrible movies is 8mm but I feel a bit shamed by some of the awesome challoping on here and I think I need to raise my game.

Maybe go for "anything with fucking superheroes in it that's repped for by adults" or something.

How could I forget - Lady in the Water!

hating Lady in the Water is less "challop" and more "obvop"

it still sucks.

Obvious but needs stating. Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Per Southpark: George Lucas & Steven Spielberg raped Indy!

i was going to go for "all live-action movies suck"

I forgot Jeepers Creepers which is actually dece for 15 minutes but that just sets the audience up to be more devastated by the incredible ham-fisted cackathon that it turns into.

sorry sarahel, that read like it was in response to Noodle's "must challop HARDER" gauntlet-throwing

I think both Velvet Goldmine and 5th Element fall into the strong minority following category - which is the nearest you're going to get to cult movie in the download era. I'm more interested in hearing about generally popular movies that you really hate.

xp max: - you only like cartoons?

only non-disney cartoons

made in the 90s

tbh anything that isn't an Eastern European animation from the early 60s is despicable.

Enjoy your "entertainment", sheeple.

many xposts - so we're talking like, 'Casablanca' hating challops then?

hurm. I may be out of my league..

this movie is actually about a sheeple, er, a sheeperson

OMG yes, this! I caught the first 15 minutes one night before I had to go somewhere, and was kinda bummed I had to leave a pretty awesome set-up for a great horror movie. Boy was I pissed when I rented it a couple weeks later.

Would hating Lord of the Rings qualify?

Not really, half of the Tolkein fanbase has major probs with it.

Plus why should 10 hour film about goblins hitting each other over the head with axes be mainstream?

My problem was that they were boring; though I did have a nice nap during at least one of them.

Is it just me or does this thread title represent a new apex of ILX hyper-self-awareness?

I was raised on LOTR and Tolkien, and even so, found the final sequences of the last movie are amongst the most toe-curlingly awful things I've ever witnessed in a cinema.

But...but...

;_;

Pure Hobbit porn, grrl. And they cut Sir Chris for that shit.
