What "all-time great" movies did you think were boring.
 

It took me ****in forever to get through Network. I get that the point was intelligent/true/poignant, but it just didn't hold my attention or keep my interest.

The Sound of Music
An American in Paris
Amadeus

The first time I watched Deer Hunter it was a test of endurance - that wedding lasted almost as long as a real one. When I watched it again I knew what I was letting myself in for and thought it was great.

I probably need to watch it again but I thought Citizen Kane was an absolute snorefest. Another one I wasn't crazy about was Seven Samurai. I'd probably like it a lot more if I'd seen an English dub of it since I hate reading subtitles and SS is over three friggin hours long.

Transformers 2

No way! That's a masterpiece and how anybody could see it not being one is beyond me.

Like father like son.

Here comes my backlash.....

All About Eve

I have NEVER been able to watch "Once Upon a Time in America", without literally dying of boredom or falling asleep. I have NEVER finished it.

Boring is as boring does. I think that's right. :)

There are some movies that are really good up to a certain point, then they get boring as hell..

I like "A Nightmare before Christmas" up to the point where Jack decides to go deliver Christmas presents then it gets toooo boring... I never finish it.

I know there are many other films like this but I can't think of any at the moment.

Nashville

One of my favorite scenes is when Jack is shot from the sky and then falls into the arms of an angel statue in a cemetery. The camers circles Jack from all angles as he laments the mess he has made of Christmas. Beautiful scene.

2001 A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange.


Both piles of cack if you ask me.


Awaiting backlash.

Goodfellas. Martin Scorsese in general... :-/

Never understood the Nightmare before Christmas love...although I do love some of Burton's films, especially Edward Scissorhands, Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Beetlejuice.
