@Starcade There are a few exceptions but generally I don't like "quirky" or farsical films & usually screen out the most obvious of them.
#Bruges also co-stars Brendan Gleeson & Colin Farrell; again not sure why I couldn't get into it as opposed to Banshees.
I also don't like predictable sitcoms like #HomeAlone because they're boring to me.
I know it's considered an #XmasClassic but it bored me because I knew without watching all of it, what was going to happen. Same for the sequels that I never bothered to watch.
The Terminal just bored me; probably because I already knew the story upon which it was based & wasn't interested in how the movie was similar or different from it.
I started but didn't finish #TicketToParadise would end because it was just a formula vehicle for Roberts & Clooney who I knew would fail to stop their daughter's marriage &, of course, fall in love again in the process; boring again.
@Starcade It's hard for me to come up with a list of movies that I "hate" or that are my "least favorites" because I usually pre-select them out so that I do not end up watching any such movies.
For me, the list would be :movies that I started to watch but couldn't finish" (which are movies that I usually turn off w/in the 1st 10-15 minutes).
Off the top of my head these are a few of them:
1) #GrandBudapestHotel (2014)
2) #InBruges (2008) not sure I could watch #Banshees but not this one.
3) #Her (2013)
4) #AfterYang (2021)
5) #HomeAlone (1990)
6) #OBrotherWhereArtThou (2000)
7) #MenWhoStareAtGoats (2009)
8) #TheTerminal (2004)
9) #TicketToParadise (2022)
10) #BillyMadison (1995)
It's no surprise that certain actors are featured in more than one of these but that doesn't mean I don't like other movies of theirs.
There is also a long list of movies that I like (or at least don't hate) that I've seen & rewatched in their entirely many times over. 🤷♂️
There's no accounting for "taste." 😉
I’m now officially in the dad category because I watched Ticket to Paradise, a completely harmless and irrelevant romcom starring George Clooney and Julia Roberts. I’m not sure why this film exists, but that’s okay. I mean, you see two of the former biggest movie stars obviously having a great time and neither of them has lost any of their charisma. Maybe that’s enough of a selling point for a film, at least it was for me.
