American Psycho .... excruciatingly boring

Just a quiet guy.
Sadly Easy I am not knowledgeable about critical percentages. I just thought it was a dreadful film.
Imagine Alex talking to his second in command and adroitly saying in a an Oirish accent "Oi tink we should attack tamarra!"

I'm lauded as Mr 80s by my friends, so it's a bit odd to them that I've never watched Top Gun.

Always think that Brighton Rock must have had the world's least menacing criminal gang, even by the standards of the day

Your support is not that great
Anything with Richard Curtis's paw-prints on it brings me out in hives. Cannot bear any of his films.

The Breakfast Club - Nothing happens. A few kids talk about emotions and shit
Taxi Driver - I'd been told this was a must watch classic. It was OK, but I couldn't really see what the fuss was about. I certainly wouldn't watch it again.
Any superhero film from the past 10 years.
I really like Breakfast Club, probably due to it being my age group at that time and I love some of the music played. But I can see why it'd be tedious for others.

Sunshine was spectacularly rubbish, and all of these Marvel Superhero films just leave me cold.

"Life is Beautiful". It won various Oscars and the Grand Prix at Cannes but I found it a bit too schmaltzy and the lead character's efforts to be quirky and loveable just began to grate. I had no problem with the holocaust being used as a comedy vehicle which some people had a problem with because it was done in a very sensitive way, I just found Guido's boundless optimism incredibly irritating.
Harry Potter. Didn't get half way through the first one.
Star Wars. Same

Page ten and no mention of Interstellar? Absorbing futuristic premise culminating in a bloke falling into a black hole that leads to his daughter's bedroom! Are you kidding me?

You're right, I totally agree it IS a dreadful film. But I think you'd be hard-pushed to find anyone who rated it, so it doesn't really belong on this thread chap.
Another one I struggle to understand all the fuss over is The Deer Hunter. It begins with the most interminable neverending wedding scene, and the rest of the film is utter DIRGE, save for the russian roulette scene with the pistol. Another DeNiro dud.
And you can shove Apocalypse Now right up your arse as well. (Not you Pugh).

I get it in the neck from lotr fans when I say the first 2 films are as boring as hell and its all an over rated soap opera about friendship.
