Movies You've Seen That You Wish You Hadn't

DeleyanLee · Feb 10, 2009

Haven't seen a thread like this, but I'll kick it off:

Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Passage to India
Adaptations

There's probably more, but the last two are on my all-time stickers list and the first one was the big disappointment for last year.

Anyone else?

I couldn't a Sunday Roast for weeks after that film.

Patriot Games
Falling in Love
The Wedding Planner

It wasn't a bad movie, but I'd really like to scrub some of the images from Requiem for a Dream from my brain.

Funny Games
Not that it's a terrible movie, but that it infuriates me to no end.

Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay

You'll laugh. You won't be able to help yourself in places. But there's just too much that you won't be able to un-see.

I still like Kal Pen.

Was forced to sit through "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (not even in 3-D)

Twilight
Snake Eyes
Reindeer Games
Shanghai Knights
The Time Machine (remake)

Popeye (the one with Robin Williams)

Mr Flibble · Feb 10, 2009

Ghost Rider *scratches eyes out*
Anything with Tom Cruise in.
Troy
Kingdom of Heaven

I've tried very hard to forget the rest.

Every Mel Gibson movies. Some of them were great, but I try to refrain from seeing films starring anti-Semites.

The Ring. That scene with the horse and the blood in the water...pass the brain bleach.

Yeah, that one was pretty fucked up. I wish I could unsee the whole movie, but mostly I just want to unsee the part where the dude's junk gets mutilated on the boat. That makes me cringe and wince everytime I think of it.

As for movies I wish I could unsee:

Chocolat (terrible, just utterly terrible)
Epic Movie

childeroland · Feb 10, 2009

Angel (1984). "High School Honor Student by Day. Hollywood Hooker by Night." They actually managed to screw that up. In every way possible.

katiemac · Feb 10, 2009

Well, lots and lots of chick flicks come to mind. I'd like to un-see all the Harry Potters, too.

But something truly, truly god-awful I wish I'd never seen ... hmm ... a lot of reality television shows come to mind, actually. I have to think on the movies for awhile.

300--I wish my wasted time could be recompensated. And I need brain bleach for what I saw of Slither before I walked out of the theater--it was utterly repulsive, and I had nightmares for days.

Gynn · Feb 10, 2009

Saw
Benjamin Button
Transformers (the 1980's cartoon movie. Scarred me for life as a kid)

thethinker42 · Feb 10, 2009

Cabin Fever
feardotcom
Exorcist: The Beginning
The Phantom Plot (er, Menace) and Star Wars II & III
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (and I used to be a RABID X-Phile)

Romantic Heretic · Feb 10, 2009

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

How they managed to take such a good graphic novel and make such an awful movie out of it is beyond me.

OMG I KNOW!!! I have a very hard time with stuff like that, and asked my husband and roommate repeatedly if that scene was as bad as I'd heard. They insisted that it was nothing.

I almost poisoned both of their drinks after that...

The Happening.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. The acting is bad, the plot. I really loved sixth sense and even Signs. I even liked The Happening less than The Village and that is saying something since The Village is up there in its badness.

alleycat · Feb 10, 2009

The Bridges of Madison County.

No matter what you think of the book, they could have made a nice, simple little movie out of it. The basic storyline isn't that bad.

Gravity · Feb 10, 2009

The Blood Waters of Doctor Z. Don't let the title fool you. It's about a scientist who transforms himself into a walking catfish. Srsly.

Oh, and All That Jazz. I thought I was taking my wife to see a musical for our anniversary. Uhh...nope. I mean, Ben Vereen as Mister Death dancing around the operating room table while Roy Scheider undergoes heart bypass surgery (complete with spliced-in real footage)? Not a musical!

Pagey's_Girl · Feb 10, 2009

Contact. It was a good movie at first, until they screwed up the ending. It was as if they had no idea how to end it after all that buildup, so they just slapped some crap on and called it a day.

JimmyB27 · Feb 10, 2009

Spiderman 3 and X-Men Last Stand. The first two films in both were pretty good - especially Spidey, and the third sequels were just a massive let down, imho.
All of that American Pie/Road Trip/Superbad crap my flatmate keeps making me watch.

I also wish I'd never seen the LOTR trilogy, as then I could watch it for the first time again.
