Classic films that you think are shite

[Father Jack Hackett]

I watched Once Upon a Time in America the other week for the first time and thought it was bloody awful.
Some nice cinematography but 4 hours of utter shite and even De Niro was terrible.

 

[Houghtoner]

Yeah I don’t like that either. Can’t see the fuss about it.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Never managed to get through it. Looked alright so far as I saw though.

I liked it, but it’s too long and probably overrated.

Was canny when I watched it 20 odd years ago but can't get away with it now Noodles.

I mean, the diamond heist where he just decides to stop and rape the lass the middle of it. Terrible

Agree.

Could never get away with Apocalypse Now either

 

[ajthemackem]

I always found Enter The Dragon to be a bit boring...

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Same here. It’s good for the first half hour then nonsense

 

[Big Duke Six]

Charlie dont surf.
Reservoir Dogs. - Utter shite.

 

[PinzaC55]

E.T. is total shite, no redeeming qualities at all.

Star Wars and sequels, not total shite but massively over rated in my own opinion.

Avatar was a ghastly bloated over long junket of CGI with a laughable plot. It was like one of those animated aquariums you hang on your wall.

 

[Trophy Eyes]

Gone With The Wind

 

[Big Sharp Teeth]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Not totally rubbish, but you could edit the car out of it and have a half decent film.

 

[Johnap]

Not necessarily classics but I cannot get away with all these black and white British films, up to the 50s, where everyone has a country estate and even the groundskeeper talks posh. What world did they ive in! Same goes for this Downton Abbey rubbish written by that posh bloke.

 

[macum1920]

The Irishman
Fab actors involved but didn’t do it for me

 

[cluffy]

Gone With The Wind

Think it’s good apart from the bit with their kid

 

[ajthemackem]

Gone With The Wind

First use of the word "Damn" on screen, was a massive thing. It's quite interesting to think that in this day and age, the climactic line would probably be "Frankly my dear, I don't give a cunt".

 

[Bamber]

Ferris Buellers day off.

 

[Ch1982]

Shawshank redemption - over sentimental Hollywood drivel
