What is the most boring movie ever made?
I'm having difficulties thinking of a boring movie that stands above the rest. When I was a young kid maybe it was Enemy Mine (1985). My parents had it on betamax and I remember being forced to sit through it many times and it was agonizingly boring to me. Although first time seeing it terrified me but eventually I learned that movies weren't real. Later on when I was older it was Dances With Wolves. My mother watched that movie a hundred times and I hated it, so slow and boring. Since then I don't stick around long enough to loathe a boring movie as I'm not that young boy anymore being commanded to sit down and don't go anywhere I can't see you. What's the most boring movie ever made? Is there one that goes the extra mile to put you to sleep and make you gnaw your lips and drool on your shirt and stare blankly into space? What director has made the highest number of boring movies?

Autumn in New York. I literally fell asleep in the cinema.

Re: What is the most boring movie ever made?
Difficult to say really. I seem to be the opposite of most people in terms of defining a 'boring' movie.
Personally I found these films incredibly boring because they are monotonous. They feature the same type of thing over and over again. And if that thing is something that bores the viewer, you're going to lose out. Normally it's repeated action scenes / fighting / battles / quick editing. My brain finds them incredibly boring, especially when the set pieces aren't that technically impressive and are just laden with CGI instead of clever crew work. I'm also a fan of slow cinema (Weraseethakul / Bi Gan / Tsai Ming-liang) so typical slow films don't bother me in the slightest. I fully expect some people to claim I'm trying to be contrary / controversial just for the sake of it. But I genuinely found these films extremely boring: Hacksaw Ridge Baby Driver The Avengers Everything, Everywhere all At Once Lucy Upgrade Once Bird Box Sully The Lord of the Rings trilogy Rush Star Wars the Last Jedi |
Cider House Rules
Gods and Generals ( I liked it because I'm a Civil war buff) |

Out of curiosity, how are you defining boring? Because I recall you being a fan of a number of those films.

Yeah, not sure I see the point of lying about your opinion. Is it just to irritate other people?

Maybe this genre of humour is just lost on me and I'm getting old and stupid.

Re: What is the most boring movie ever made?
For what it's worth, I don't think a boring movie exists for me.
Some films are insufferable. Some films are abysmal. (And then, there are also many other terrible films outside of the list I posted.) But a boring film? I'm never bored watching films. Because the act of watching a movie, even a terrible, disgusting one, is still far from boring. You know what's boring? Not watching films. Now that's boring. But watching movies is anything but boring. |

That's a far better answer.

Every peak requires its valley. Every harem needs its eunuch. Every joke has its butt. And the world needs humor. Would you want to live in a world that doesn't need you? I wouldn't. |
Re: What is the most boring movie ever made?
Enemy Mine, huh? I always liked this movie and never thought of it as boring.
It's got a few action sequences, but to me, those were my least favorite parts - I was more into the character study and evolving relationship between the two characters as it moves from deadly distrust to friendship. |
