Movies you couldn't even finish.

I felt the movie perfectly portrayed the chaotic feeling of the book.

For some reason I just looked at your top 10 movies, and I couldn't finish, Whiplash. Not trying to be funny or anything, in fact I believe I posted about Whiplash before on this thread.

Too bad, I adored it.

I agree to an extent but I just couldnt get into it. I had a much wilder time with the novel which made me feel like bats were flying out of my ears. The movie just irritated me (although that might have been Johnny Depp)

I thought he was hilarious in the film

I know, it's highly rated, and almost everybody loved it. I just thought it was funny that on a thread about movies we didn't finish, I found one. I bet if I looked at others top 10, I could find more.

I really dont know why I didnt. Cant pinpoint it. Might also be because the person who gave me the book years before told me his reaction to the film before I saw it. Set me up for disappointment before I even walked in.

Boyhood (2014). Excruciatingly boring ... I believe this is the only film I actually fell asleep to.

Room 237. So bad I turned it off around the 10 minute mark.

In the 10 Ring: Gunslinger45's reviews

The theories were really dumb but i liked some things, like the layout of the hotel part. Could understand someone hating it though, i don't love it myself or anything.

Awwwwwwwww, I liked Kate and Leopold

Dude Where's My Car? is a serious guilty pleasure of mine...I don't know why, but that movie cracks me up and has tremendous re-watch appeal.

Ugh. A hot mess.



I have really tried, but never been able to watch even half of this movie.

No clue what this movie was about.



Highly acclaimed, but could not finish it.

Starsky & Hutch (remake)
I was around 6th grade when the tv show came out and I was a HUGE fan - even had a windbreaker jacket like Starsky wore and when that "mutant child of talented parents"* : Ben Stiller made this I was d@mn near at the end of my tether of putting up with his films.
I got as far as Hutch being introduced in the Captain's Office and when I saw the mix up of even the basic characteristics of each character being reversed, I stood up, told the screen: "F@CK YOU, BEN STILLER!" and let the rest of the people in the room that it was official, I was done with ever seeing any movie by this t1t turd and why. I walked out of the living room to another part of the house so I wouldn't disturb their viewing by my enraged disgust.

and obviously, that rage is still paramount.


*Thank you Family Guy for this eloquent quote that I continue to use regarding Stiller.

Why do the French make so many talky movies about philosophy? This movie was such a yawn.

What do you mean you don't know what it's about, how far did you watch into it? It's pretty straightforward honestly.

I have finished Slumdog but yeah it's awful.

About 15 minutes or so. I rarely watch horror. Could not make heads or tails of it & felt disinclined to try.

Fair enough. Think you find out what it's about properly around 5 minutes after that. Obviously it's not for everyone though as it's a slow, black and white, pretty heavy at times horror film. I liked it.

It must have gotten a good review from The New York Times or it wouldn't be in my Netflix Q, but occasionally they steer me in the wrong direction.
