Popular movies that you hate

[meatwadsprite3]

2001 : A Space Odysee - basicly not a movie at all just random shots of stuff

Mulholland Drive - same thing as 2001

L.A Confidential - horrible story , horrible visuals , horrible acting

[FranklinTard]

wow man, you really are delusional. ah, i see the age tells the tale. but ill play along.

the departed. boston accents, has been nicholson, terrible.

[Where's my elephant?]

wow man, you really are delusional.


Pot.Kettle.Black.

[Moviefan]

I don't hate the movie but I don't like lord of the rings.I hadn't seen 2 or 3 yet. I didn't care for the martix or Kill bill. I don't care to much for James bond movies. I don't care for dumb and dumber.

[MovieBuff801]

I thought all 3 Lord Of The Rings films were completely overrated and overbloated.

[Doomsday]

Boondock Saints, holy crap I hate this movie. I hate the people who love it even more. The thing is......there's no reason to like it, all I hear is "it's just a cool movie and you're retarded for not liking it." Sorry, I think I'll stick with my good movies and my good taste before I bow to this pile of shyte.

[GreenvilleTexan]

Pretty much all slasher/horror/torture porn movies. Don't see the point. One or more idiots (several with large breasts) get caught in horrific situation. Blood and gore ensues. Bad guy bites it, but ah ha! comes back for the next 8 sequels.
The end.

[Tolkien]

Any "Torture" Film, Post Saw. Period.

[FranklinTard]

Pot.Kettle.Black.

sigh... never gonna let it go eh? i thought you were mr mature....

and do i recall you calling me a "troll"? im not big on the word, so ill just call you a jackass. and pot.kettle.black. jackass.

[Boiiinng]

Hate's a pretty strong word, how about dislike?

Napoleon Dynamite
History of Violence

[Ramplate]

Napoleon Dynamite - that's a hate :D Dull worthless waste.

Signs - It was a suspense thriller ... it kept me waiting in suspense wondering when it was gonna thrill me

[Sora Kahn]

Sin City
Hellboy
Goodfellas
Casino
Lost in Translation
Mean Girls
Every American Pie movie

[JBond]

Borat

[Benjamin]

300
Harry Potter (series)
All those "independent movies" that manipulate the special touch Wes Anderson has given to his movies.

[UnicornBlood3]

Napoleon Dynamite

Borat

there are probably more but that's all I can think of right now.

[Jack]

Little Miss Sunshine

[Ramplate]

Sin City
Hellboy
Goodfellas
Casino
Lost in Translation
Mean Girls
Every American Pie movie

Wow Sin City was a good one

[MovieBuff801]

Also forgot to mention 300.

[msmoonvicky]

Anything by jerry bruckheimer or micheal bay are huge in theatres but suck in my eyes.

[Kable24]

All three Lord of the Ring movies.

[WuTical]

Napoleon Dynamite

movie was just not funny to me

[iv3rdawG]

I don't hate the movie but I don't like lord of the rings.

I thought all 3 Lord Of The Rings films were completely overrated and overbloated.

All three Lord of the Ring movies.

Agreed.

[Ramplate]

I loved the LotR series but I'm a geek so ... there ya go :D

[Angelixx]

i can appreciate the lord of the rings movies. well done and beautiful but dramatically over rated.

[Fanible]

Spider-Man 1... hate is kind of a strong word though. I just didn't think it was that amazing (no pun).

History of Violence was another one, thanks to Boing for reminding me. Again, I didn't really hate it, but overall pointless was the best I could describe it.

[iv3rdawG]

i can appreciate the lord of the rings movies. well done and beautiful but dramatically over rated.

Ya that's what I meant. And hate is indeed a strong word.

[Ramplate]

Spider-Man 1... hate is kind of a strong word though. I just didn't think it was that amazing (no pun).



Oh yeah? Compare it to the Live TV series 1977-1979 :D for the first time we got to see webs that didn't look like ropes and the wall crawling trick that didn't remind us of the Batman series of the 1960's heh heh. ;)

[Doomsday]

I just don't get movies that have big buzz and big critics backing it, then end up being disliked by most people. History of Violence was one, as already mentioned. Another one was The New World. All critics and reviews gave it four stars, but I have yet to meet one person who actually somewhat enjoyed that movie. Personally, I hated it, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two people who tolerated it.

[Matrix_Fan]

Munich and The Good Shepard for me. Both critically acclaimed, both IMO boring as hell. I usually appreciate dramas as much as the next person, but I did not care at all for these two.

[Boro]

300 and A Clockwork Orange. I don't hate them (well, I don't like 300 at all), but I think they're both extremely over rated.

[equipe]

Any of the Spiderman movies. or Anything where Tobey McGuire has a leading role.

Lord of the Rings. Soooo overrated.

[McGourgh]

Top Gun
Titanic (I couldn't wait for this damn boat to sink)
Moulin Rouge, Chicago, basically all musical movies
Revenge of the Sith (I don't really hate this movie, I just don't get people who think that it was any better than the other prequels)

And I have to disagree on LOTR, those were beautiful movies.

[prizm]

anything by woody allen

[IanTheCool]

a couple movies that i dont hate, but do think are very, very overrated are full metal jacket and scarface

[Frizzo the Clown]

300 and A Clockwork Orange. I don't hate them (well, I don't like 300 at all), but I think they're both extremely over rated.
You bad mouth A Clockwork Orange, and you'll have to answer to me! ;)

[pixiness]

Okay - I'm gonna probably get flamed for this but
Old School... I just don't get what's so funny about it - Will Ferrell running around like a moron just doesn't do it for me. I'll admit, part of this has to do with my general dislike of Ferrell's particular brand of comedy - I find it annoying, but all the same, I know a lot of people that think it's genius.

I also really, really don't like Training Day. I know, I know Denzel's supposedly a bad ass, and what another great performance from Ethan Hawke, but for me - I just don't believe Denzel in the bad ass role or Ethan Hawke as the good cop just trying to do the right thing. It comes across fake for me.

Other than that - I can't think of any others off the top of my head.

[Ramplate]

VanHelsing - that movie tried so hard to make him James Bond and Indiana Jones all rolled into one but ended up being soooooo stupid.
If the clock really started to strike midnight at the end and they had to do all that fighting and struggling to get across that bridge they missed it by a mile.

[hammerhedd11]

The Departed
Spiderman 2
Liked both but people made these movies out to be way better than they were.

[FranklinTard]

Munich and The Good Shepard for me. Both critically acclaimed, both IMO boring as hell. I usually appreciate dramas as much as the next person, but I did not care at all for these two.


news to me people actually like good sheperd, i also think it was one of the worst movies of the year. matt damon had what 20 lines in the whole thing? plane scene was cool though.

[Boiiinng]

Any of the Spiderman movies. or Anything where Tobey McGuire has a leading role.

Even Seabiscuit?

[Yuney]

Fight Club - I know soo many guys that love this movie so maybe it's a guy thing because I think beating yourself up and beating up a bunch of other guys is one of the dumbest premises. Although Brad Pitt as nice eye candy is pretty much all it had going for me ;)

Oh and Anchorman is so stupid to me and I hate that people quote it all the time

[donny]

One that comes to mind is Batman Begins. Again, like some have said hate is a strong word, but i find it completely overrated. There are others, but I just cant think of them at the moment

[Kable24]

Fight Club, Scarface, Rushmore, Fahrenheit 9/11, Titanic, Taxi Driver, Donnie Darko, Blade Runner, Kill Bill vol 1 & 2 and the list can go on I'm sure.

[JBond]

VanHelsing - that movie tried so hard to make him James Bond and Indiana Jones all rolled into one but ended up being soooooo stupid.

I was under the impression everyone hated Van Helsing. :confused:

Did you pay attenion to the movie at all? It's not about beating people up, give "all guys" more credit than that.

[Matrix_Fan]

I was under the impression everyone hated Van Helsing.

Except me. I'm the only one that likes this movie.

[hammerhedd11]

If you think Fight Club was about people beating each other up then I doubt you were paying attention during the movie.

[Darth Barth]

I cant stand "The Godfather"

How's that for ya???

I just dont get the fascination for men and boys behind this completely over-rated movie.

[iv3rdawG]

*edit* wrong thread

[quiksilver022]

History of Violence
Lord of the Rings
Star Wars (Yes.. I know. Way too dorky for me)
Almost every Harry Potter movie.. Except 3.

[quiksilver022]

DEAR JESUS and Scarface.. Everytime I see someone wearing a Scarface T-Shirt I want to knife them. Sorry..

[Boiiinng]

Except me. I'm the only one that likes this movie.

Once again, you're not alone. :)

[Matrix_Fan]

Wow, and once again, I am surprised.

[FilmJerk]

POC: ATW. Boring. worst movie of this year.
Star Wars

[JBond]

The Breakfast Club

[Yuney]

If you think Fight Club was about people beating each other up then I doubt you were paying attention during the movie.

Yes I know it is more than just about guys beating each other up. I am a psych major lol I know he suffered from DID or multiple personality disorder in layman terms. Yadda yadda "you're not your ****ing khakis" yeah I get it.. but I still don't like the film. It's overrated imo, but you are both more than welcome to enjoy it if you want to and I will choose to hate it if I want to ;)

[JBond]

If you know all the facets of the movie, then you really shouldn't bait people into taking that argument with you by callig it a movie about peopel beating each other up.

Also, I'm pretty sure it's "dissociative identity disorder". In the case with "multiple personality disorder", the personalities are not aware that the other ones exist.

Oh snap!

Here's my list:

Battlefield Earth - I don't get what people see in this movie. John Travolta wasn't that great, ok?
Showgirls - To me, this movie seemed like an excuse to show boobies.
From Justin to Kelly - I don't just "hate musicals", ok? I just think this one's a little overrated. Please don't flame me for this one, alright?

[Doomsday]

I cant stand "The Godfather"

How's that for ya???

I just dont get the fascination for men and boys behind this completely over-rated movie.

I feel the same way about Scarface. That movie has become like a cult movie among black people but......it's about Cubans! Now THAT I don't get.

I get the facets of the movie yes.. I am not some ditzy girl that only likes movies that are all about love and romance and all that stuff lol. But for me - the whole beating people up thing was pointless even if it went to a deeper meaning. I wasn't trying to bait anyone - just stating my opinion. Even my husband hates that I hate that movie cuz he loves it, but I just don't see the appeal about raging against the man and all that because it's not something I personally would do.

And yeah check my first post -- that's why I said DID which is what MPD evolved into - but most non-psych people still use MPD and don't know what dissociative indentity disorder means.

Puff puff suck suck?

[FVD]

Yeah wow movies about getting high and the morons who actually find that s**te funny. Whoopdedoo. :sleepy:

Just like that stupid song about getting high. A five year old would have been able to write a song that mediocre.

that's not always the case I've worked with a few clients with MPD and they know each and every identity inside of them and are fully aware. They just lose control over when each personality takes over the psyche

Dude, are you seriously trying to make fun of me?

If so, why? Jibbs made two very strong points, and I was emphasizing that.

[Arashuana]

I dislike:

Cabin Fever
Wrong Turn
Darkness Falls
Dead Alive
Terminator 3

Not sure if these were really popular anyway

[Drakon]

There's been plenty of movies I outright hate that's already been mentioned [Napolean Dynamite for starters], so I'll say one that hasn't been said yet.

I .HATE. Team America with an undying, burning passion of a thousand suns.

[Oliver Queen]

for one you didn't have to open your mouth and for two point two is not true as I stated

[Knerys]

Ok stop it. Your both right.


For me:
Mulholland Drive - didn't get it, probably never will
Revenge of the Sith- You will never convince me that that is a good movie, sorry.

[Oliver Queen]

Titanic
Revenge of the Sith
Donnie Darko
Moulin Rouge
Gone With The Wind
The Wizard of Oz

[Yuney]

Actually he didn't make 2 very strong points. He wasn't baited into an argument with me - he chose to get involved in one because he wanted to defend a movie he liked. Who cares if other people don't like the movie that you hold in high regards. There is no need to treat someone like they are stupid because they have a different opinion than you.

Also the 2nd point wasn't valid either because he was just trying to AGAIN make me look stupid and himself look better. :rolleyes:

[Knerys]

Except me. I'm the only one that likes this movie.

It was fun until I saw Kate Beckinsale ethereal head in the sky...that pulled me out of the movie just a little bit. ;)

[SnoBorderZero]

Hard not to laugh at some of the movies posted on here. Lord of the Rings not good movies? Then again, I tend not to take opinions from people who enjoyed the Pirates sequels seriously.

[PsYkOoOoO]

The Harry Potter series.

I just...found them to be rather underwhelming.

[meatwadsprite3]

why do so many people hate LOTR

and about fight club , only about 20 minutes out of 2 hours is actuall fighting - if your gona complain about it's faults that probably shouldn't be it and it's not like the movie supports tyler durden's mind set it shows it in a very 3rd person way

[Doomsday]

I don't think it's that people HATE these movies or think they're bad, there are just people (like myself) who think they may be overrated and don't consider them the "greatest movies of all time."

[Movie Man]

300 and Napoleon Dynamite!!

You baiting me too then?

[rosncranz]

I have to say I really appreciate a lot of the posts in this thread. I expected a lot of good movies listed on here (there are some of course) but I am pleasantly surprised.

some good ones already listed:
FIGHT CLUB-possibly the most overrated film ever made.
Napolean Dynamite-No, now this is the most overrated film ever made.
300-Why is this so good again?
LOTR-Cannot forget this series as probably the most overrated series there is. Still good, but FoTR was by far the best ROTK was a bit of a train wreck. I will never understand why people call these the best films ever made.

Of course the only film listed above that I would say I hate is Naploean Dynamite, the rest are films that I think are just way overrated but still range from poor to good.

Some more:

Kill Bill
Grindhouse-I prefer to watch the movies Tarantino made when he was good at it.

Citizen Kane-So it paved the way for a lot of cinema...that's all I can say that is good about it. Technically good, but that's as far as it goes IMO.

Hotel Rwanda-Way too friendly. The real events of the Rwandan genocide were different than portrayed in this film. Beyond the Gates is however an incredible and realistic depiction of it.

Platoon-Just not a very good movie.

Anything by Scorsese-They range from crap to really good, but far too many of his films get heaps and heaps of praise and they are usually the wrong ones to get it. He is without question the most overrated filmmaker there is IMO.

[Evildooer]

"The Harry Potter series" Terrible movies! Badly acted, badly written, badly directed! They all sucked major donkey dick, and it's no shocker since the books are made for people with down syndrome!
You have to be a dumb dumb child to like the Harry Potters nonsense...

Other movies I have hated which were either blockbusters or had a lot of hype to them but ended up sucking are.

SUPERMAN RETURNS
Titanic
THE HULK
The Ghost Rider
Daredevil
Elecktra

You have to be under 13 considering your insults and the fact the only movies you mentioned are ones released in the last 5 years other than Titantic.

I actually made a thread about this a few months ago, but pretty much anything that has "Scorcese" on it is praised no matter what it is, and personally, I didn't think any movie he's made in the past 10 years has been really THAT good, Departed especially. Even Goodfellas didn't really blow me away, it has nothing on other better movies of it's genre. The only one I really like is Taxi Driver, now THAT is a movie.

Yeah, I made a thread called "Scorsese Sucks" awhile ago...it was really harsh and over-exaggerated. But still I completely agree with you. Not that many of his films are great and they get praised simply because they are by him. Though his early films and Cape Fear are really good.

Dude, did you see that one commercial with him and Ellen Degeneres. BEST COMMERCIAL EVER! He is such a genius!

[equipe]

Even Seabiscuit?

Oh hells yeah. He's just cardboard. I'm pretty sure if you substituted a large block of Stilton cheese in Tobey's place, it wouldn't seem out of place.

[boydston_14]

Titanic. 'Nuff said.

[hebbedie]

Closer - the only film where I thought it's too bad about the money..

*so glad your not a mod* ;)

Seriously though, i think its a guy thing. All Men I know love love love that movie (the godfather) while most women I know dont like it/have never seen it/dont care.

Geesh, I sound like a scene from "When Harry met Sally"

[halo7]

I like Napoleon Dynamite. At one point everyone loved that movie, now everyone hates it. Trendiest movie ever.


anyway I hate:

Batman(Tim Burton style)
Gone With the Wind(I understand its revolutionary but it is boring as ****)
Scarface is way overrated

and the worst?

Citizen Kane

I can't sit through it. Bores me to tears.

THERE, I SAID IT. :(


Thats about as far as I go. I keep a pretty open mind and like almost every movie people have posted in here.

With all due respect I don't care how you rate his films, especially when the point of my post was that people worship the guy when he has a hit or miss filmography and gets praised for films that simply were not that good.

But since you did this:

The Departed-7/10-I really dislike this film, mostly because the original was handled a lot better, the ending was horribly executed, and the acting was all over the place...I did however enjoy a lot about it. It was a fun movie basically until the horrific ending but it is not recognized as just a fun movie, people feel the need to try to make it more.

Goodfellas-7/10-I really don't know how to rate this film because I honestly don't care about it, I didn't hate and certainly didn't love it and it was very forgettable. I love The Godfather and didn't care for this at all.:eek:

Taxi Driver-9/10-Great movie.

Gangs of New York-5/10-Until I saw Curse of the Golden Flower this was the most disappointed I had ever been by a movie. It had a great sounding plot, great actors, great cinematography but the film was just awful, it was all over the place once again Scorcese had no idea what he wanted to do with the film and Cameron Diaz should never ever be in a film that wants to be taken seriously...she was just awful.

Cape Fear-8/10-Good movie, scared the crap outta me when I first saw it, but it is nothing amazing.

Casino-6/10-I love mobster movies but this just did nothing for me...I don't know this just was not my movie. I am not someone who really shys away from violence but I felt this was too violent and I didn't like anything in it really. This is probably the only film of his that I really have no place judging simply because it is not my kind of movie.

The Aviator7/10-Overly bloated oscar bate sell out movie...though for Scorsese it was pretty good lol.

Which brings me to his movies that I really like:

Bringing out the Dead-8/10-A very good, moody and well acted movie that felt to me like it didn't carry the same pretentious ere as most of his films.

Mean Streets-It has been a really long time since I saw it but it is a very good film.

So out of 35 or so films approximately 4 are what I would consider to be very good films in someones repertoire...that is not good. I know many, if not most people disagree but my god a good run of films twenty five years ago does not mean everything the guy touches is amazing now. I respect the guy, he is probably unsurpassed as far as a technical filmmaker, but he just hasn't really seemed to have the feel for telling a good story anymore.

To summarize Martin Scorsese is in my opinion the most overrated film maker ever.



And I hated Napoleon Dynamite before it was cool to hate it lol

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeah I hated it too the first time I watched it.

I was like are you serious? This is what everyone is talking about?

[Spidey2DocOck]

Batman Returns. B89 is "meh" but BR is worse.


Napoleon Dynamite. What exactly was funny about this?

Boondock Saints, holy crap I hate this movie. I hate the people who love it even more. The thing is......there's no reason to like it, all I hear is "it's just a cool movie and you're retarded for not liking it." Sorry, I think I'll stick with my good movies and my good taste before I bow to this pile of shyte.

I could not agree more. It's a 'cult' movie for knuckle draggers.

I thought Batman Begins was decent, but not the greatest thing since sliced bread like everyone else made it out to be. I didn't hate it, but thought it was only OK, not great.

From where I sat... "Batman Begins" wasn't a great film but it is the best of the Batman movies....IMHO.

I always thought Batman 1989 was by far the best. I've seen that one dozens of times, and I've seen Batman Begins many times as well. The thing is when you compare them, I find that all the problems that exist in Batman Begins aren't found in the 1989 version. I could go into it, but I vehemently disagree with people who say that Batman Begins is superior to the 1989 version.

Agreed. Not that I dislike Batman Begins, because I do like it. But the 1989 is better, in my opinion. That is saying a lot though considering how much I liked Begins.

Matter of preference, I'd take Begins over Batman 89 any day of the week. I really like Batman 89 though, I grew up with it and back then it was my favorite movie.

[redmarvel]

Dumb and Dumber - the title alone put me off the movie.

[meatwadsprite3]

yeah i hate batman begins , i can't see why people like it so much - the whole movie is so dark and the action scenes are just a camera shaking around with nothing visable

[SaltyDog]

Popular movies that I hate. How about disliked. Well, let just say the list would be too lengthy and not enough space on this site to list them all. "War of the Worlds" would be a good starting point.....right through "Planet of the Apes" with Walhberg and continuing with ....and ......

[IanTheCool]

Batman 1989 is not a good movie. I'm sorry. Batman is so stiff and boring and the Joker is just too much at points. And kim basinger just ..... no.

And was the remake of Planet of the Apes really taht popular, or was it a flop? i cant remember.

[FranklinTard]

made a ton of money, but critically panned for a reason.

See this is what I mean. I can handle that you didn't like 89 Batman, but I'm assuming you're otherwise a fan of Batman Begins. Obviously there will be comparison between Batman and Batman Begins, but.....do you really think Katie Holmes was any better than Kim Basinger? Do you think Liam Neeson was a better villian than Jack? I mean say what you will about the original Batman, but I don't know how people can say Batman Begins was better in any way.

Well, I suppose I can since I enjoyed BATMAN BEGINS more. There was much to like about the Keaton/Nicholson "BATMAN" entry but the Bale/Neeson BATMAN BEGINS just had much more to like than the original from where I sat. To me the finale of BATMAN was weak and lacking and I suppose to me the story was better in BEGINS and the fact that the original seem cramped while the BEGIN entry seemed and had the feel of an epic film. Best way I can describe it at the moment.

[Knerys]

I don't even try and compare the two. Their both good and they are both very different, both in style and substance.

Jack Nicholson's take on the Joker was simply Jack Nicholson with a laugh. :meanie:

[hookem2008]

I also hated Mullholland Drive- I'm not a huge fan of these type of dark films, but I didn't have a problem with any of them like Donnie Darko. Mullholland on the other hand just made no sense. Maybe I'm crazy, but I didn't like it at all.

[FilmJerk]

why? have you used watched already one of the sequel of the two movie? I like harry potter but the Lord of the Rings i got bored...

[MovieBuff801]

Wasn't that impressed with "Knocked Up" this year.

[Scorpio82]

The only movies I actually hate aren't even popular anymore.

But looking through the IMDB top films, I would definitely stake out "The Godfather" and "American Beauty" as the two that completely elude me. Both lose their appeal after 30-40 minutes and then I just grow bitter towards the story and characters as it carries on. There's no pay-off, no real morality or lessons, no hope, no heroes, and it's just unnecessarily long countdowns to self-destruction. That's not what I live for.

Give me "Charlies Angels" anyday.

[DeadFlagBlues]

Why does there need to be a lesson in morality? Its not a children's tale. There are never really any "heroes" in the sense you are talking about. They are just people. So I disagree pretty vehemently.

[SnoBorderZero]

I have to laugh at people who were bored by LOTR. Imagine them watching Citizen Kane or 2001. The people who were bored by LOTR are the same people whose favorite movies are the ones they just watched.

[JBond]

What? 30 Days and Nights is the best movie of ALL TIME!!!1

[Scorpio82]

In the sense I'm talking about, there's heroes everywhere. Not just the shoot-em-up action stars or hard-boiled defense lawyers. In the most general way I can think of, I like movies about people who do right by themselves in the end. Not the ones that string together a lot of dark humanity issues as if to say "this is the reality of life" while flipping me off. I find dark "everyone fails" endings to be just a dumbed-down version of Deus Ex Machina when it comes to movie cop-outs.

Well, it could be argued that Michael's intentions were good. But even though we have good intentions much of the time; does it mean the result will always be positive? The same goes for Lester Burnham. These situations do not always turn out for the better. We can learn from these instances. The director doesn't need to preach to us or show us propaganda in order to purport his ideologies. He/she needs to be honest with us. This is how things are.

Sometimes the characters meet their end and fail, but occasionally they succeed. When the "protagonist" (if there is such a thing) succeeds again and again, -- like Hollywood and the audience love to see -- it happens that it becomes absolutely fake.

[Scorpio82]

Exactly. That's why I like creative twists on happy endings. They don't always have to end in weddings and Death Stars exploding, and main characters can even die depending on the outcome. It shows that the filmmakers really are putting their heart into their work.

I can't say that I've ever learned anything from Michael and Lester's experiences that I didn't already know, so I've never figured out what point the filmmakers were making. At best, I can say there's some good performances and nice camera-work, but other than that, there's no re-watchability value for me.

I'll agree its nice to have a creative twist. But you can't completely change the course of inevitable events just to have a happy ending. It is blatantly transparent.

Perhaps one could argue that just because the filmmaker gives us a happy ending doesn't always mean their heart is in the work. Sometimes the filmmaker is merely cutting corners just to have a bit of sentimentality; to earn a cheap ending. The ending (in my opinion) needs to be the result of the chosen action of the character; not the director trying to pull some trick ending out of nowhere.

I'm not saying a surprise ending isn't nice (because life is unpredictable). But a director should not pull every trick out of the bag just to have a happy ending.

[Darth Barth]

Have you seen Los Perros Amores? Not a happy movie, and no happy endings for anyone in the movie except for one. And he's not even human.

A brilliant movie. Terrible, but great.

[ddel54]

Im gonna have to say the Saw franchise. After the first one it just over the top

[Scorpio82]

I might seem to be painting too much in black-and-white by using terms like "happy ending." Depending on many things, a film should at least have a "pleasing ending," but then something like that differs from person to person. I'll just leave it at that.

Mulholland Drive does make perfect sense, you just need to dig around on IMDB for analysis on the movie. It's one that makes you think which is more than can be said for 90% of the movies today. I would agree that it falls flat and doesn't thrill at all, but the metaphors and symbolism Lynch placed in there are pretty amazing.
