I'm thinking of things like Van Helsing (the brilliant monster movie pastiche of the opening giving way to a make-it-up-as-you-go-along plot with dodgy cgi), or Hellboy.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind: the moment they ran around to the side of that house and found the five Avenger aircraft sitting there, I was ready to walk out of the theater.

ET, Angel Heart; Saving Pvt. Ryan, Gods and Generals, Catch-22, Red-Headed Stranger, Jurrassic Park,Chorus Line, Evita, Man of La Mancha. The last 3 were good on stage but fell apart as films

I agree, but then I've never cared much for any of DePalma's movies. A couple of other stinkers that Michael Caine made was The Hand, and that really silly film about modern-day pirates.
