That one's gotta be near the top of the pile.

Titanic also.

the departed...  that movie stunk!

Seriously, what gives with Shawshank Redemption?  I mean, not a bad movie, but judging from popular opinion, people think it's like Citizen Kane or something.

Extremely over-rated.

[masterofsparks]

I think Shawshank Redemption is awesome. I can see thinking it's overrated, but "detest"?

Please don't tell me this has something to do with a "deus ex machina."

Somebody I know totally dumped on The Departed because of its ending, and while I agreed with the points they were making about that particular section of the film, it somehow didn't completely ruin the entire experience for me. Can't a movie still be worth something even if it has a bum ending?

Anyway, maybe that's not why you hated it at all, but I felt compelled to bring this up.

I like it
it's just so damn watchable. That and Usual Suspects and The Game I can just sit down and watch at any given time no matter how many times I've seem them and enjoy.

My mom sent me I Am Legendary on digital video disc. I thought it was good enough for one viewing. But only one.

As I type this, I'm in the middle of watching "Into The Wild" with the people I'm staying with. This movie is triggering my "Hippie Kill Response." This rich kid is rejecting the selfishness of his family by acting even more selfish. I don't even get why all the Eddie Vedder freaks loved this... apparently his presence was enough to turn the rest of the movie around for them.

These same people made me watch "Funny Games" last week. I'll finish watching this if only to see witch one I hate more. I'm moving onto the next couch soon.

Detest is a strong word but I will never watch Shawshank more than the one time I watched it.

I'd like to see you avoid it.  It's playing on 10 cable networks at any given time.

I love that movie.


Detest? Hmmmm...my mom loves "Bull Durham" but I never really got it. I don't really detest it though. Just not into it.

I know that every male friend of mine does NOT like "Lost in Translation" and every girl friend of mine loves it (including me). Interesting phenomenon. Just thought I'd point it out.

[Gilly]

I love Bull Durham.

Seriously with all the Shawshank love? I always thought that was a bro movie after I watched it I kind of wondered why it was a bro movie but still didn't really like it.
