I can't figure out my next four though. Probably throw in No Country For Old Men, Green Street Hooligans, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (my favorite movie as a kid), American History X, Dumb and Dumber (my favorite comedy), and O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

I am sure there are several that I could put in front of those movies, but I can't think of all of them. I like Airplane!, the Bourne movies, the first 3 Indiana Jones movies, anything by John Candy, the Back to the Future movies, Remember the Titans, and The Green Mile.


Movies I despise that people have listed:
300
Old School
Religulous -- more of a documentary
Hangover
Slumdog Millionaire

OSH;857855 wrote:Yeah, they did nothing for me.

I am not into the comedy where it's all nudity, vulgarity, and drunkenness. So thus, The Hangover and Old School do nothing for me. I think comedies aren't anything like they used to be. All the "funny" movies these days have to be filled with the above (and things like it). They seem to lack any sort of originality that John Candy, John Belushi (although he could be vulgar), Steve Martin, Dan Aykroyd, and even David Spade/Chris Farley. I cannot stand Will Ferrell (except in Kicking and Screaming -- which wasn't a typical Ferrell-esque movie). I am more of a slapstick humor kind of guy, gimme the Three Stooges over any of these "comedians" today.

As for 300, I just wasn't too caught up in all the CGI/green screen stuff. I didn't like all the computer enhanced male bodies. Those things just didn't make a good movie for me. Maybe despise is too strong for 300, but it just wasn't a big deal for me.

OSH;857863 wrote:Hahaha. Well, I have also been told, "You just don't like anything that is popular" or better explained, "I don't like things because everyone else likes them." Not saying anyone on here is like that, but there are a lot of people who like movies and worship movies because it is the popular thing to do.

rydawg5;858511 wrote:Fail on your part Douche Commander. He mentioned 300 for one, and Ieven listed a Will Ferrell movie myself. It was bigdaddys tone of message when he basically say "how dare you think 300 isnt awesome"

good job trying to put me down, but the only thing that happened was fail.
