Films you refuse to watch.

DesVegas

I will never watch Forest Gump, not really sure why but i know i never will and Shindlers List because i'm sure my heart wont take it.

You?

Myranda

Jesus, if you think Schilders List will damage you emotionally you need to buy every single copy of irreversible and mail them to the other side of the planet... now

Dirty Dancing and Annie.  Both relate really horrendous memories for me and honestly I would sooner do a life sentence for murder than let anyone subject me to watching that shit. 

In a slightly more measured and critical answer I will not watch anything made by Uwe Boll and it has nothing to do with the fact he looks like a real life Forrest Gump -

Anything with Christian Bale or Clive Owen.

Pretty much all mainstream films that come out of hollygoodgreifwhatapileoffuckinexpensiveshitthatwaswood. Gratuitous violence films, cops/drugs/car chases how many bleedin times can they keep serving that format up!they  just leave me cold. The last time I went to the pictures was early 1970's & that was to watch Fritz the cat, about a cartoon cat shagging all & sundry....which was funny at the time

50 Shades of Abuse.

Twilight
Battlefield Earth
97% of Adam Sandler films
Gay porn, sorry I meant any Martin Lawrence films

My folks took me and my sis to watch Annie at the cinema, the bit were the guy unravels his turban out of the helicopter to rescue them all was pretty good, as was the rape scene.

Sambostar

Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Sleepy Hollow etc etc.  Basicially anything that is 3 hours long apart from Apocalypse Now.

ICBM

Mamma Mia.

Any modern horror/shock/gore film.

Any Hollywood action film.

Anything to do with Lord Of The Rings or most other fantasy nonsense.

Anything with Nicholas Cage in it except Raising Arizona.

I've seen quite a few of his films.  Some are so-bad-they're-good, most are just inept and boring but one or two are actually bordering on competence.

There aren't very many films I'd actually refuse to watch but there are lots I'd choose to avoid - most romcoms, romantic films generally (never seen Ghost or Dirty Dancing), musicals, "gross out" comedies, Will Smith films, Adam Sandler films, films directed by M Night Shyamalan, the Twilight saga, the entire Fast & Furious franchise....

I generally find it's a good rule of thumb to avoid films nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, especially if they're biopics - I'm sure they're "good" films but I have no intention of ever watching Lincoln, The Imitation Game or The Theory of Everything, for example.

chillidoggy

Anything with Jim Carrey in it.

Twilight: a teenage girls choice between necrophilia and beastiality

bingefeller

Anything with Scarlett Johansson.  I have an irrational hate for her.  I really, really can't stand her shitty acting or her voice.

She was OK in Girl With A Pearl Earring, but that's because Colin Firth did all the acting in that and she didn't say much. Otherwise I tend to agree.

I forgot Adam Sandler too. Possibly the least funny man ever to appear on screen.

EricTheWeary

I have unpleasant memories associated with Annie oddly enough.

I won't rewatch Silent Running because it made me cry. I would either cry again or it would ruin it for me.

I sat through LOTR but won't watch the other bits or the Hobbit. I just don't get that stuff at all and anything that's CGI over content ( I am prepared to believe LOTR has content, just that Peter Jackson has buried it ) generally bores me.

Stevepage

Twilight. Mushy teenage hormoned wimpy crap.

Neil

Anything fantasy, sci fi, musicals, rom coms, or martial arts really.

Sassafras

Anything that's over 2 hours long unless it's really good.

These days, most Spielberg films and Martin Scorcese's gone right downhill.
