Moving on from the thread about things you'd watch over and over again, how about stuff you hated?
These are the types of film I never watch. (Hate is a bit strong for something so irrelevant!)
I simply can't stand silent movies, or the knockabout 'comedies' of Laurel & Hardy, Marx Bros, etc.
Not a fan of musicals or violent horror/war films either.
Anything with Nicholas Cage in it makes me grab the off switch.

Those senseless torture porn films, no plot, no redeeming features...nothing more than a cheap pile of shit IMO.
Now violence I don't have a problem with, so long as it is reasoned Charles Bronson/Dirty Harry style violence. I don't mind serial killer violence if the story is interesting in some way (eg, Manhunter etc). But the current crop of tortore porn junk is pointless crap.

Exception: The first "Saw" movie was good, very rewarding payoff at the end...but it should have ended there, instead of spawning a bunch of worthless sequels that added nothing to the original.

Anything with Chevy Chase in. Someone got out one of the National Lampoon Vacation films and it was soooooooo dire.

I'm very tired of all the vampire stuff that's about nowadays. We really are being force-fed.
As far as horror films are concerned I love spooky ghost stories but never the kind of "Hallowe'en" stabbing and slashing for no apparent reason sort of film. Boring.
I like a good war film, but mainly prisoner-of-war based: The Great Escape (naturally!), Colditz, Bridge over the River Kwai etc. However, Band of Brothers is my favourite - in fact it's time I borrowed the box set off my son-in-law again.

Laurel and Hardy smell I shouldn't be at all surprised - they've been dead for quite a while now. |

The Sting. I've started to watch it about five times, but have abandoned it each time because I can't understand what people are saying. They all seem to think it necessary to talk out of one side of their mouths.
Hang on though - if it comes on the TV now, I can put on the subtitles!
