Gee, you guys have such good taste. Personally I really hate It’s a Wonderful LIfe but my guilty pleasures aren’t even on anyone’s radar. But here they are: 1. Jumpin’ Jack Flash 2. Doctor Detroit 3. Clue 4. The Ref 5. Dune.

I know people are entitled to their opinions, but I am very very angry that someone actually though Seven Samurai sucked. I think i will sit in a corner and cry my anger away.

I am so happy I could cry. I have searched far and wide for one person in this god forsaken planet that sees Star Wars for the cheesy, over ripe, over rated, useless, absolutely badly acted, filled with cardboard cutout unbelievable furry objects and crazy alien filled wasteland that it is. It had some cool gadgets, the amazing death star(i hope thats the name), the excellent light saber and of course Darth Vader, who is possibly the coolest person to ever grace the movie screen. But the rest of the movie, the direction the acting all sucked. If Harrison Ford is the definition of charming, I think the human race has forfeited the right the exist. Also the movies have not aged well at all. Star Wars is, in the end a melodramatic cheese fest. Boy finds out he is chosen one, gets trained, runs into sister who he wants to shag, finds furry animals, gets trained by a muppet, goes black, finds out he is evil spawn, loses a hand and then everyone gets knighted. Is this the formula for a great movie?

Also I wouldnt say guilty dislike, but i do dislike the following:

ET: seriosly…WTF?

Saving Private Ryan: Superb opening sequence, the best of any war movie ever made, I just cant buy the government trying to save any private for any reason.

Indiana Jones: Sorry, but all Indiana Jones movies suck. Harrison ford is not cool…had it been Tom Selleck, it probably would have been better…I think it is possibly Harrison Ford’s voice that ticks me off.

Agree with Gone With the Wind, Wonderful life, Life is Beautiful, Wiz of Oz. May have been fun watching as a child, definitely sucks watching it now.

Jules et Jim: So absolutely disastrously I wanted to peel off my skin and eat it.

Cinema Paradiso: Just did nothing for me.

Gladiator: Caligula was better…at least it had boobs.

Ben Hur: Spectacular and all, s**t story and all too.

Shawshank Redemption is not the greatest movie ever made. It is good, but not great. It is a simple story and it is told with a good deal of melodrama. It is a good watch, but it is not special and definitely not the greatest.

I’m totally with you on “Star Wars” — never could get into the originals, so the prequels were totally lost on me.

I’d throw in “Gone with the Wind,” too. Yeah, yeah, I know it’s an epic and it contains all kinds of ground-breaking, cinema-changing techniques and that damn “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” line. But I don’t care. It’s long, it’s boring and I absolutely DESPISE Scarlett. She’s the kind of simpering, manipulative wet wrag I cannot begin to like.

People, you can’t disagree with a guilty dislikes list – everyone else is supposed to like them by their very nature!
However Kevin, I think everyone hates Transformers 2

All I can say is that I disagree with every choice.
My list however consists of: A.I, Gladiator, The Dark Knight and Transformers (1 and 2)
