Good call and I agree...

The whole family walked out of "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" after 15 minutes.

Unfortunately, we did sit through the very boring "Unforgiven."

12 of my all-time favs have made the board so far:

Pulp Fiction Men in Black Traffic Mulholland Drive Malcolm X Network
Rambo Sideways Dogma Oceans 11 Top Gun The Crying Game

Maybe I'm setiing the bar too low, but ah likes whut ah likes.

"Popeye" with Robin Williams

I love Robin but that movie was awful. I walked out and I was only like 13 yrs old at the time. You know it's bad when kids walk out.

not a fan of 'Peter Pan'/again Robin Williams

let's discuss the work of Ben Affleck, shall we?

'Gigli' and then the one where he is a single father with a cute kid--my eyes, my eyes

ooooooH--Dian Keaton??? "Motherhood' she is an ad executive, a distant relative names her as next of kin for an infant, moves to Connecticut and begins producing homemade applesauce.

'3 Men and a Baby' =funny and its spawn not so funny

next on the chopping block---

Harrison Ford and perhaps Diane Lane for 'What Lies Beneath'

and Julianne Moore et al for 'The Hand that Rocks the Cradle'
IIRC, Rebecca de Mornay was the evil nanny.

many more will be forthcoming.

that was actually Michelle Pfiefer and the movie was actually quite good.

I'm quite stunned at some of the movies you people mention as "bad"

Not enough pot smoking, dumb teenage pranks or boobs for the masses?
These are probably the same people who think Super BAd, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express and every idiotic Will Ferrell movie is the epitomy of classy movies...

wow.. our society is so very, very much dumbed down.

I just don't bother with the pot smoking, dumb teenage pranks--taught middle school and that would be like 'Work' for me to view such films.

Harrison Ford can/has done so much better than 'What Lies Beneath' and Michele Pfeiffer. Very slow, dragged in parts. I have no other explanation but --compared to Glenn Close's drama in 'Fatal Attraction'--'What Lies Beneath' was a let down.

I really enjoyed History of Violence and still watch it on DVD from time to time. I realize this isn't everyone's cup of tea and it's a very violent film.

I do agree about Terminal, though.
