It's easy if you try. :)

One of the most boring films for me and I've just had to look up the title was The Hi-Lo Country, a forerunner to Brokeback Mountain with Woody Harrison. I was doing shifts in the Tyneside Cinema at the time and over the course of a week I think I had to sit through it about 4 times. Deathly.

Someone at The Guardian has published the results from a survey (source unknown so far) as to which films the nation sees as boring. For me, there are one or two classics in there.

I wonder if it's because folk are becoming a bit impatient with everything these days? For example, I read that (musical) artists are now trying to get the hook into a song within the first 30 seconds, simply so it suits the Spotify generation.

Anyway, here's that list...

1. 50 Shades of Grey
2. The Blair Witch Project
3. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
4. Brokeback Mountain
5. Transformers
6. The Postman
7. The Artist
8. Australia
9. Vanilla Sky
10. Seven Years in Tibet
11. Batman and Robin
12. 2001: A Space Odyssey
13. The Matrix Revolutions
14. Showgirls
15. Far and Away
16. The Tree of Life
17. Noah
18. Meet Joe Black
19. Lincoln
20. Cleopatra

Chocolat and as good as it gets would be in there for me

i think that's the bit that i don't like about it, because yes you're right its not... but actually it is - which <spoiler alert> you get to find out at the end, which makes me think what a f***ing waste of two hours of my life, its the plot twist i don't like... just like black swan, expect as said at least you got to see portman flick her bean in the bath so there at least some point to those two hours of your life...

Lost in Translation
The Royal Tenenbaums

Over 4 hours of my life I’ll never get back

The only film that has actually made me angry that I wasted part of my life watching it. :evil:

Was nearly released under the title "As Sure As the Moon".

Don't ask me why I know this, for I have no idea.


TGPH is one of my favourite films. It's entrancing. Also any film that includes the line "She was shaking like a shitting dog" gets 10/10 from me.

nee cgi.

Nicole Kidman looking class
