Thin red Line is really really boring.
I found Resevoir dogs a bit dull too.
Miami Vice was just really really boring too.
War of the Worlds, Oceans eleven, and don't even watch Two for the money.

Rant begins
The worst film, the one that should be avoided is Saw 3 was so much dog excrement i don't know where to begin with that. The plot was designed by a psychotic toddler, in which gore replaces any chance of character building or dialog or give any good reasons as to why one man should be punished.
Totally poor. I went to watch it with my friends and i shot away as soon as the credits started, i was pissed off all week cos of that over inflated load of balony.
Okay end of rant.:)

Ah, the Haterade threads, when you can't be interesting you can always turn to hatin'...

Seriously, if the movies you all have listed are the most boring movies you've seen you've led a charmed life of dynamic films.

Now an abrupt turn by participating in what I just poo-pooed.

Nostalghia by Andrei Tarkovsky, the guy spends what seems like half an hour trying to cross a pool with a lit candle. I still appreciate the movie, but man alive was it hard to watch when I was already tired.

In the same vein, A Taste of Cherry by Abbas Kiarostami. A story of a man looking for someone to help him commit suicide, makes toast seem moist. Again, a movie I actually appreciate but I had to watch it twice and both times I was too tired. I intend to watch it again some day while slamming coffee and Red Bulls...

The Perfect Storm. I think the intention was that the viewer should develop some emotional attachment to the characters. However, there was nothing at all likeable about how any of the people involved were depicted. The filmakers were evidently aiming for the characters to appear "heroic", but instead achieved only "idiotic and selfish". I wish it were possible to subject to all those who worked on the film to death by drowning. Poetic justice, and all that.

I had similar problems. The part of the story we 'knew,' before the lost contact, they were stupid dicks. The part we didn't 'know,' after they lost contact they were suddenly brave and noble.

But for all we know from that point on they sat in a circle crying and giving each other hand jobs, as a friend of mine likes to point out. Even the 'noble' parts were kind of...gah...anyway...

Annie Hall is a masterclass not just in filmmaking but in storytelling. In my opinion it is possibly the finest film ever made. It seems likely that you did not understand the complex rebuttal of the pygmalion myth because breaking new ground and the use of unconventional technique are not normally things that bring on boredom. They may be things that people think don't work, they may be frustrating or counter to what the viewer wishes to take out of the experience but they very rarely bore.

My opinion of that movie would have increased greatly if it had ended when they yelled into the chasm. But it didn't. Then, as if he was making up the story while he told it to you, he remembered that he should resolve the father story line but didn't know how. Not to mention it followed on the heels of two brilliant movies about isolation and friendship that had not resorted to falling into romances.

Do You Want To Know A Secret? (you should answer No)

Bone Snatcher

Scary Movie 3&4 (2 was ok but 3 and 4 were just sad.)

Batman with Val Kilmar

Batman with Geogre Cloonie

In the Woods (Note:a distinction between the movie: The Woods which was fairly good)

The Brave Little Toaster (may be bias)

The Island (the remake)

The thing is, I understand when things start to get contrived when you're making a film like A Clockwork Orange or when you've got to get to a specific cinematic orgasm in a high budget film but the meaningless time consuming shit Braff went through just to get to that fucking chasm was unforgivable.


But if he had stopped there he would have been (slightly) forgiven. Once he actually hooked up with Portman I wanted to throw popcorn but I hadn't bought any. (I actually did throw something once at a movie but I can't remember which one it was, I just remember being pissed...)

Raiders of the lost ark. Everyone loves it but it's just like every other stupid macho action flick.

Most lame christmas specials, especially it's a wonderful life.

I tried to watch this charlie brown valentines special today, and it sucked. First charlie brown kept whining for an hour, and then he started winking at some girl. The stupid teacher thought winking was a sign of disease can sent him to the nurse. Then they cut to a scene where charlie brown says "maybe if I sharpen my pencil she will notice me." and then he walks over to the pencil sharpener as slowly as possible. Moron. There's this new book out about the guy who drew charlie brown, and apparently it's selling pretty well. I haven't read it but basically it's about how much of a jerk that guy was.

Howard's End. This movie taught me that whenever critics rave overly loudly about the "cinematography" it's because the movie has no other redeeming factors, like plot or even anything actually exciting.

Turned off the tape halfway through. At least we didn't spend theater money on this snore! I couldn't tell you what it was about, because after 1-1 1/2 hours, I still didn't know. But it seemed to be like a soap opera, only with Victorian-era prudishness. Glaciers slide faster than this thing did.

Then there was the hideously dull Bob Roberts (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103850/plotsummary), a faux-documentary about a fictional candidate's Senate campaign. Worse yet, it was one of those "shaky camera" ones, so I ended up literally nauseous as well.

And a few I forgot the all of the specifics of and just have a mental note that basically says "I wasted some nights looking at various bad movies."

I genuinely can't think of many films that are really boring. I can think of loads I didn't like or that left me disappointed and thinking "....that's it? really?" but aside from Garden State I can't think of any where I was bored watching it, at least for the first time. I can think of many - The Weatherman being a prime offender - that are excruciating when you know that the next five minutes aren't going to bring something which will put all the bland stuff you've watched into sweet, glorious context but are rather going to bring you things which are going to make the movie plummet toward crap.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend is the only movie that has made me actually fall asleep. Later I skipped forward to the last part I could remember and watched the rest of it. First they where standing and talking utterly pointless crap in one place, then they where standing and talking somewhere else and so on. The few special effects thrown in occasionally weren't any exciting either.

Left Behind 2 was pure waste of time, when it ended I really tried to think back and find one thing that was worth seeing but there really was nothing notable in the whole movie. I think Left Behind 1 was an interesting movie but 2 had no content and was just filling up the time from start to end.

For third place it has the be some Swedish movie since even the worst non-English movies get some attention in their homeland... I'll go for Sällskapsresan from 1979, it's about a dork who goes on vacation and progresses at a slow pace with occasional humour that isn't funny.

Well, those movies aren't really comedies. They're extended riffs on fart jokes that play like Saturday Night Live skits gone on too long (which is most SNL skits, really). I'll add all of Will Ferrell's films except Stranger Than Fiction and Old School. When he reins in his idiot persona, it can be funny (much like when Robin Williams clamps down on the mania for a scene or two, like in Awakenings, The Fisher King or even One Hour Photo)

Okay, normally I let peoples' tastes go without comment, even when they slag on a film I like, but Bob Roberts is the political satire that Wag the Dog wanted to be. Come on, a "radical" conservative folk-singer? That's brilliant as an idea alone. A very young Jack Black as a rabid junior conservative, and Alan Rickman as a proto-Cheney...well, you're free to call it boring. It's one of the few films I own on DVD.

You want a list of boring films, well here's mine:

Solaris -- Good Lord, it was 2001 without the philosophy, which was virtually all that was keeping Kubrick's film from being a soporific. There's a difference between lingering on a scene for subtlety and expression and tension and lingering because there's nothing else to do. When the sequel book, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, was made into a film, it got a more conventional, expository treatment, and while it was entertaining, something was definitely lost. Sometimes a film has to take its time, that doesn't automatically make it boring.

Reds -- Warren Beatty, 'nuff said. He is walking boredom (Ishtar, anyone?). He couldn't even make Bulworth more than passably entertaining...but then again, I think fucking Madonna saps the talent from you. Look at what happened to Guy Ritchie.

Amazing Grace -- This one got a lot of attention recently, but it is staggeringly dull. It's Amistad without the fast pacing. The Brits make some great films, but they also know how to bore when it suits them.

Those are the ones in the forefront of my conscious mind at the moment. There's another one, a Canadian film, where a woman, by chance, saves the life of another woman and realized she's falling for her. The other woman (Lola?) gets murdered, and the first woman assumes her identity and goes to the frozen plains to reconcile with Lola(?)'s mother, which the other woman was going to do (she had a train ticket and everything). The whole film starts out interesting and then becomes the driest road picture in my recent memory. I suppose I should be glad that I don't remember the film's title.

EDIT: After a bit of a search, I found it. It's just called Lola (http://www.eztakes.com/store/movie/Lola-Movie-Download.jsp). Avoid it unless you need sleep.

At least the majority of those posting here. I'd like to get a look at CTOAN's library.

Most boring?

I'll be controversial and say The Truman Show, which I couldn't even get to the end of.

Most of the crap movies I've seen aren't so much boring as "lame in the extreme", such as Star Wars, Eps 1-3.

Every Austin Powers after the first. The first is mocks spy movies, then when they realize Austin Powers is popular, they start making Austin Powers as its own genre instead of just a mockery of spy movies which made it lose its edge and made all the other movies just boring.

300 was awful.

Fantastic 4 was terrible, as was The Great Raid.

I tried watching Crossover, but that also was too boring.

The first was the best hands down. I thought too was pretty good, but not nearly as good as the first, and three was just meh.

Good observation I might add.

As for truly boring, nobody can beat the various French experimental films, or failing that, Godfather 2 and 3.

La Boum. A slightly idiotic French teenager (A young Sophie Marceau, playing a character my age) and her struggles to get a boyfriend. Oh, my heart bleeds. And somehow, she gets laid. How? HOW? HOW!? And she goes off with a completely different guy at the end of the movie. Combine this with a score of retarded 80s pop, including the song "Dreams Are My Reality" (What the fuck kind of pills are these people ON?). Highlights include making out with her father to induce jealousy, which, surprisingly enough, works. :mad:

Ok, not boring. Rather irritating.

The Good Shepard-expecting a riveting tale of the dark history of the CIA instead got what felt like four hours of a really bad soap opera

The Philadelphia Story-Like watching a movie version of Leave it to Beaver

Citizen Kane

The Weathering Continent-Very old Anime movie don't bother looking for it

The Chronicles of Riddick-I fell asleep during it

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban-My least favorite of the films, badly directed and badly written

Top Gun

Hollywood Land-Like The Good Shepard, noting more than a two-hour-too long soap opera.

The Chronicles of Narnia-The Lord of the Rings was Better

I Am Sam-Awfully commercial for a drama

Shop Girl-A two hour sex fest! I felt like I was watching a bad pornographic soap

White Noise-Is this a thriller?

True Stories: About a Bunch of People in Virgil Texas-Lame mockumentry

Left Behind 2

The Man Who Would be King-I liked it but it's a movie you really can only watch once due to it's length and plot

QFT I was expecting much more from that film...BTW I was a bit confused at the end, Does Matt Damon have that black girl at the end, who was gonna marry his son, killed or did the USSR/KGB have her killed? And the part at the end where he buns his dad's suicide not...I didn't get it...was he ashamed about his dad committing suicide or why his dad committed suicide or what?

It's with a really young Macauley Culkin and it's got Dan Akroyd.


I watched it with a friend who absolutely loves it.

That's a great movie! I cry every single time I see it.


Most boring movie? I can't think of one right now, but before I knew the intricacy of Blade Runner's special effects, I kept falling asleep watching it.

Extremely boring and dragged on, i mean you start watching them and you find your mind wandering and then throughout the film you just spend your time wondering when it'll end.
ahhh...it comes clear now. You only like movies with big explosions, loud thumping soundtracks and strippers in them.
Anything with pathos, story, plot, acting and meaning is just not for you.
Best stay away from Lars von Trier, (early) Wim Wenders, Fellini, Werner Herzog, and Uwe Boll then.

Ishtar, Titanic, and an SNL movie Pat. Ishtar was so boring I don't even remember most of it. Titanic was a third rate romance wasted on a good trope, and Pat was so bad i left part way through.

Mine are, in no particular order: Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Blair Witch Project, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, This is Spinal Tap, Annie Hall, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, Last Tango in Paris, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I'm afraid I must object to including these three magnificent comedies!

Left Behind 2 was pure waste of time, when it ended I really tried to think back and find one thing that was worth seeing but there really was nothing notable in the whole movie. I think Left Behind 1 was an interesting movie but 2 had no content and was just filling up the time from start to end.

This might be more of an overratedness thing: I loved Life of Brian, but Monty Python and the Holy Grail did absolutely nothing for me. There's a time and a place for complete randomness in humour, and I found myself with my eyes half-closed wondering what the point of any of the Knights Who Say Ni business was.

Edit: I think it also has something to do with the fact that nerd kids will sit around quoting/making deeply involved references to entire sequences which didn't even make me laugh in the original. Like the whole Holy Grenade thing.

I can't think of any others off the top of my head - probably because they were so boring they've dropped out of my memory.

Very few people have seen the beginning of Pat and I imagine that the number of people who've seen it all the way through numbers slightly less than the number of people involved in making it.
