Movies I walked out of:

Angel Eyes J-Lo? Jim Caviezel before he was Jesus? Hell no! - I couldn't stop laughing and had to leave the theatre.
Moulin Rouge! -at the point where all the dandies walking into the club started singing Smells Like Teen Spirit I started yelling and force my friend to leave with me.
White Chicks/The Hot Chick - I can't remember which of these I fell asleep in and which I walked out of, but I did either with each.

Movies I should have walked out of:

Stuck on You - since it was for free, my SO and I both agreed to watch it.  At one point, before seeing it, we both said someting along the lines of: "we might laugh once or twice at least - it can't be that bad"  But no. It was.  We did not.
A.I. - if only I left when the kid got frozen in the ice, I could have told myself it was an alright movie.
Solaris - so many people walked out of this movie while we watched it that my SO and I decided to stick it out just for laughs.  When it was over only us and one other couple were in the theatre, and the other couple just turned to us and we all started laughing.  It was soooooooo bad.  Bad.
The Island - again, another freebie my SO won tickets to.  Wait a minute, I've already seen Logans Run, and I've read A Brave New World, so why am I watching this movie?


Movies that deeply dispointed me:

Sin City - style without substance?  Fuck you.
Big giraffe  -come on Tim Burton, you can go better than this!
Million Dollar Baby - Not all that bad but **[spoiler alert]** if I wanted to see a movie about euthanasia, I would have gone to see a movie about euthanasia.

You just reminded me to two more I HATE

Blue Steel with Jamie Lee Curtis. It left a mark on my soul that won't come clean.

Enough starring Jenny-from-the-block. I would have beat her ass if I were the director. Then I would have beat her agent's ass.

[jough]

I thought Million Dollar Baby was waaaaaaaaaaaay overrated, but it wasn't crap.  Come now, Smells.

Big giraffe I found entertaining, but not necessarily something I'd watch again.

Moulin Rouge was awesome.  I guess you are too jaded to enjoy things.

AI was horribly underrated.  Yes, I could have done without the last 20 minutes and spindly aliens too.

Did someone fuck*ng say E.T. earlier?  What the fuck is not to like about E. fuck*ng T.?

Because E. Foucalt*ng T. is treacly as Foucalt.

[V-Adore]

Speaking of "say it ain't so, Tim Burton," howzabout his remake of Planet of the Apes? His crappy remake? Yeah.

Oh, SHIT, and that reminds me, the king of all Movies I Hate: the most recent Island of Dr. Moreau, with Brando phonin' in Moreau. I saw this movie when I was a young nough child to still think movies were a miracle, and this movie singlehandedly convinced me that movies could also be terrible, terrible pieces of shit. Now that's powerful.

[Boring K]

Movies I hated: La Vita e Bella/Life Is Beautiful.  So corny, so obnoxious, so dumb.  Even the Third Reich couldn't save it.

The Butterfly Effect.  I waver between placing this in "hated", because it's so stupid, and "so bad it's good", because I couldn't stop laughing at the many ridiculously bad fates of Ashton Kutcher.  I mean, Kutcher as a multiple-amputee drowning himself in the bathtub?  Comedy gold.  But, no, overall, it's just crap.

Spielberg's War Of The Worlds.  I was with it early on, I really was.  The sounds those tripods made?  Terrifying.  The gritty, realistic way he shot it?  Excellent.  Tom Cruise?  He may be a looney tune in real life, but he is a good enough actor that you can forget that for a couple of hours.  But little holes kept popping up--Tom's the only one in the world that can figure out how to get a car started again?  They fall from the bottom of the tripod in that cage, all the way to the ground, and don't break every bone in their body?  Not to mention Tim Robbins' lame character in a segment of the film that went on way too long.  But it's the ending that breaks the camel's back--when Tom's son shows up alive and well.  Tom's son who was SWALLOWED UP IN A GIANT BALL OF FIRE.  So fuck you for that, Spielberg.  Munich better be awesome or my love-hate relationship with your work will seriously start favoring the latter.

Speaking of that, I too hate E.T..  And Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which was just amazingly dull.

One "so good it's bad" I could name is Super Mario Bros.: The Movie.  It's my favorite video game movie just on the grounds of how bizarre it is.  The games are so surreal and plotless--how ARE you supposed to make a movie out of that, anyway?

You know what video game needs to be made into a movie? Oregon Trail. With Hiram the Blacksmith. I'd say you could make it as a run of the mill porno and turn out a decent product but personally, I think Hentai is the way to go with this one.

I said E.T. Jough, I and stand behind it, beeyotch!

Why do I hate ET?  As previously mentioned, it's so sucrose ridden it ought to carry a warning for diabetics.  And it's so blatantly, obviously, insultingly manipulative.

Feh.  

I'll second National Treasure.  Saw it with my family.  They liked it.  I H.A.T.E.D. it.  Made fun of it throughout.  Predicted what was going to happen hours before it occurred.  It was like they opened the big box of cliches and dumped the whole fuck*ng thing in.  I mean I winced at the very beginning when I saw that there was a billionaire with a German accent.  I thought, surely they wouldn't make him the villian.  That was overdone by about, say, 1919.  It's so over the top that even Austin Powers doesn't do it anymore.  But no, accented billionaire guy is the bad guy.  

I think I slapped myself on the forehead in disbelief so many times during that movie that I have permanent fingerprints embedded in my hairline.

As for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, I liked it.  I expected to like it and I did.  I like Kevin Smith and I like goofy sophomoric comedy movies.  I like Jay and Silent Bob.  Sure it's full of in-jokes and self-referential humor, but I like that too.  I laughed my ass off.  Snooogins.

My favorite So Bad It's Good is motherfuck*ng Roadhouse starring Patrick Swayze. There is not a single frame of that movie that isn't awesome.

Honorable Mention: Rocky 4: The scene right before Apollo dies when he's dancing around with James Brown to "Living in America" is one of my favorite movie scenes ever. EVER.

[Limmo]

I hated A.I.  The misanthropy of Kubrick and the saccharine of Spielberg, mooshed together into a cinematic Reese's cup of awful.  Though, oddly enough, I liked the ending after the first ending, but before the third, where we meet the liquid *****s during the Ice Age.  That was cool.  

I hated Attack of the Clones.   There's one moment in that movie that feels like Star Wars, and the rest...eeeeurgh.  

Unbreakable made me want to die and stop living.  The worst superhero movie imaginable.

A friend dragged me to see the 1995 Christopher Lambert - John Lone vehicle The Hunted.  "Come on, Jim, it's a Ninja vs. samurai movie.  You should be all over it."

The first half-hour was, well, a Ninja vs. samurai movie.  And then it just started gathering momentum, and by the time the Ninjas and the samurai finally faced off against each other about 45 minutes in, I was hooked.  The rest of the movie was hit or miss, but I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did.

So bad it's fuck*ng genius: Rudy Ray Moore's The Human Tornado, which starts off ridiculous ( the Instant Replay ) and just goes batshit-crazy from there.  Every time I watch that movie, afterwards I want to go out and fight crime.

Two movies that I am deeply embarassed to admit I liked:

Bubble Boy

and

Ringmaster
(that's right - the Jerry Springer movie)

Since we have a chain of what we call "cheap seat" movie theatres here that have 8 + theatres each playing second run movies and used to charge $1.50 a ticket, and because this theatre was directly in line with our route home from where we worked, my friend and I used to hit that theatre at least once a week and see anything - and I mean anything - it didn't matter how bad it was, it was cheaper than renting and it was actually a really nice theatre.   At some point we ended up in Bubble Boy, and to this day, I still have no idea why, but the theatre was practically sold out.  We were lucky to get two seats together.  Any movie is funny if you're surrounded by other people open to laughing, and for whatever reason, it was a laugh riot - the whole theatre roared.  We laughed so hard.  As we moved from the theatre into the parking lot, we were silent.  Finally, I broke the silence: "so, um, I kind of... liked that.." him: "me too."  "So we... we both... liked Bubble Boy?" "Yes, we did." "Oh." "Yeah." "Let us never speak of this again."

Some characters from Bubble Boy, as pulled from imdb:

Jake Gyllenhaal....  Jimmy Livingston
Swoosie Kurtz ....  Mrs. Livingston
Marley Shelton ....  Chloe
Danny Trejo ....  Slim
John Carroll Lynch ....  Mr. Livingston
Verne Troyer ....  Dr. Phreak
Dave Sheridan ....  Mark
Brian George ....  Pushpop
Patrick Cranshaw ....  Pappy/Pippy
Stephen Spinella ....  Chicken Man
Ever Carradine ....  Lisa, Mark's Sister
Geoffrey Arend ....  Flipper Boy
Beetlejuice ....  Li'l Zip
Matthew McGrory ....  Human Sasquatch
Bonnie Morgan ....  Rubber Woman
Jason Sklar ....  Shlomo

etc.

I don't remember anything about this movie really other than that we laughed and then were filled with shame.  Looking back, all either of us can remember is that we weren't high, and that the theatre was full.

When it comes to the Jerry Springer movie - same friend, different theatre.  I had gotten free passes to some movie through work - neither of us can remember which movie.  We arrived at the theatre and were apologized to, somehow the reel for the movie we were to see hadn't been delivered or something.  I can't remember the situation.  We were told that we could go ahead and "sneak in" to see the Jerry Springer movie, even though it had already started, since they had been unable to sell any actual tickets to the movie.  We looked at each other, and couldn't pass up the opportunity to see such unmitigated crap, especially for free, so in we went.  The other two people in the theatre, also admitted for free, turned as we entered and snickered to themselves.  We sat a couple rows away from them.  My friend then realized he needed popcorn, so I was left alone in a theatre with two other people, watching the Jerry Springer movie.  Finally, my friend returns with popcorn, and starts loudly whispering "Mel?  Mel?  Where are you?!  Mel?!"  The other people in the theatre and I were quite amused at this act.  He sat, I started eating his popcorn, then started throwing it at the people in front of us, who started throwing some back at us.  It was just so much fun.  I don't really remember the movie itself.  Something about a hillbilly girl and her mother in love witht he same boy who go on Jerry to sort out their troubles I think.  But it was just such a wonderful moment.

Oh! Oh!  Another movie I hated was In the Bedroom.  WTF, people?  I mean WTF? Sooooo boring.  I just didn't get why it was so highly acclaimed.

Oh, and Jough, I definitly am jaded when it comes to any god damn musical.  We saw Moulin Rouge on its opening night, and I didn't know it was a musical - I thought it was one of those movies with lots in incidental music, not an actual musical, otherwise I wouldn't have gone at all.  Boo to musicals.  Except The Rocky Horror Picture show and maybe Dancer in the Dark - even though I had my genius friend practically go through that movie scene by scene and tear it apart, I still sort of like it.
