Napolean Dynamite. Oh my gosh did I hate it. Everyone hyped it up so much and then I saw it. TORRIBLE.
All the movie threads got me thinking of movies that I personally hate that everyone else seems to love. It'd be interesting to see the responses.
For me, I have one main one. Pulp Fiction. Hated this movie. Fell asleep the first time I saw it. I have no idea why it is so popular. I think it may have been high expectations going into the movie, making it hard to live up to the hype.

Don't mistake opinion for fact.
Ouch, gotta be one of the firsts not liking Pulp Fiction, love that movie
+1 to this, good call. I was thinking that most movies that were hyped that I was disappointed in I didn't hate, just didn't like that much, but I did hate this one.

A Clockwork Orange. I could never get into it. All my friends loved it and praised it as a masterpiece but I was just thoroughly annoyed by the whole thing.
GO WINGS!
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Lord of the Rings, any of them
just like in the other movie thread, I will need a few days to relaly think about it. There are a TON of them I am sure
I wasn't impressed at all by "The Hurt Locker". Glad it ended even if it really didn't have an ending. Just could have kept going on, and on, and on!

Absolutely everything Adam Sandler has ever appeared in. Will Ferrell isn't far behind, but Anchorman was at least worth a few laughs.
The Hangover. I don't "hate" it, it's ok I suppose. But it's REALLY nothing special and it's the funniest movie ever made if you listen to some people. And now there's been two sequels that are just the same exact movie.
Napolean Dynamite would have definitely been on my list when it came out. Ugh I hated that movie and being in high school at the time I got to listen to it quoted 500 times a day for a year. But I watched it again recently, and I didn't mind it. It's very stupid obviously, but it's definitely got some funny bits.

Some buddies of mine were raving about Talladega Nights and how it was one of the best movies of all time.
Just not my kind of movie!
The second Hobbit movie.

Usually the case with a movie like this is that it hits the polar opposite of your taste, try going 180 from all the things you hate about it and I bet you'll come up with a movie you love.
I agree that "The Hangover" was the first recent one that came to my mind, not a very good movie on any level really, and the sequels? I'd rather shit glass.
Gravity and Cloud Atlas. Thought both were terrible and would have walked out on both if I didn't pay extra for 3D (stupid friends lol)
