Hey, I can't stand movies in which someone is held hostage either, @ECBG ! Thanks for thinking up a whole genre of "dislikableness"....

Conversely, almost any movie in which the protagonist has amnesia, and is "searching for their past or "their identity", I tend to love!

@Oznell Ya know, I see that as "misery" and that just isn't entertainment to me.

I do love thrillers, dramas, period pieces, some sci fy, and romances.

Ugh movies (IMO) - Pulp Fiction - Rocky movies - Godfather movies - Zoolander - Xanadu - Mama Mia - Deer Hunter. Saw Deer Hunter on date with my now husband. To this day - it bothers me. I should have sat in the lobby and waited for the group.

Except for Shawshack Redemption, I don't like prison movies. Drug themes, mafia, overly violent war movies and cowboy movies don't interest me.

But I did enjoy Knives Out movie yesterday. Twists and turns and all.

The Sound of Music...ugh. I can't stand movies where they bust out into song all the time.

The Blair Witch...kept wondering when the scary part started and it NEVER DID.

Oh not you aren't. I hated the Sound of Music and also Gone With the Wind, West Side Story, It's a Wonderful Life, that Ralphie xmas movie and many other popular films. Oh Goodfellows. My friend and I walked out. Also walked out of Murder on the Orient Express and Moonstruck.

The Searchers or most Westerns

Titanic

Steel Magnolias (saw the play and liked it but didn't care for the cast in the movie)

Sound of Music

Clockwork Orange

There are others but the above came to mind first..

Offhand I would say Blazing Saddles and Forrest Gump

Which reminded me, anything with Tom Cruise, too.

@Caligurll

I think he's mostly overrated but I did think he did a , surprisingly, great job in the movie Magnolia

Just thought of another one: There's Something About Mary. Most people say that it's one of the funniest movies ever. I thought it was horrible and stupid and couldn't finish it. I guess it's just not my type of humor, although I like Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz.
