What Movies Do You Think Should Be Buried For The Rest Of Eternity And Never To Be Heard Of Again?
This is simple. What movies is your eyes are complete and utter rubbish? There are movies that we dont like but what are the ones that we want our money back on
The first on my list *Idiocracy - a really good premise for a movie that fell on its face even with stars such as Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph *Borat - sorry this wasnt good at all I had to be off my face to watch this crap ..... and I dont care it was nominated for a oscar

Con Air needs to be buried solely because of Nicolas Cage's accent. He was supposed to be from Alabama and I've never heard anyone from here with that fake of an accent. haha
The others, I went in wanting to like, and left wanting to run far far away lol
Like I said, just my opinion :-)

Well...I was thinking about, some of the worst films I've ever seen, the grossest, goriest, sappiest, poorest, etc. And I wouldnt burn nor destroy any of them. I dunno. Somehow, I made it through In The Name of The King, for example. And burning that would mean that image of Kristanna Loken sliding down that tree rope in a Dryad outfit would be lost.

No film should be buried and never seen again.
Yeah, but theres some films that never had to be done in first place.
For example, this new Dragon Ball movie... it was desastrous, absolutly terrible film that only was made to pretend to make some money (or like stealing) from the manga/anime series fans.

So because you didn't like it, those who do and their reactions are worthless?
That unfortunately is what you are saying.
There are films I loathe - Passion of the Christ, Shawshank Redemption, Mamma Mia to name three - that make my skin crawl and I suspect cause brain rot. But as appalled and repulsed as I am by them, the idea that they be buried and never seen again is more appalling and repellent to me.

Well, First, I just said what I think. my particular opinion. And its rare to me to think like that, even with the worst film ever made until this one. And for that I said that is better that never have been made in first place than been bashed and buried. So, I REALLY hope they dont make a secuel if can not do a good or at least a decent film. Its sad, but I cant feel that it contribuites in anything. (specially if its fail to make money)

The Shawshank Redemption caused your brain to rot? I know everyone has their own opinion, but what about the movie do you "loathe"? Cause I think it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Because Shawshank, like all of Darabont's movies, is one non-stop sledgehammer without a trace of subtlety or irony.
I saw it before it came out (in Cannes, actually, in the film market where it was first shown, before anyone had expressed an opinion on it). I suspected there would be those who disagreed, but for me that intelligent people (and I know there are many) who actually even tolerate it stuns me.
It was among the most excruciating 2 1/2 hours I have ever experienced in my life.
But going back to my point - as much as I hate this film personally, I have no right to say it should be buried and unseen.

I do think "Shawshank" is overrated. Not that it's a bad film, just not the five star masterpiece that some pundits claim it is. Then again , that is just my opinion. I do think it is better than " Forrest Gump" .

I wouldn't call Shawshank Redemption "one of the best movies I've ever seen," but neither would I call it "among the most excruciating 2 1/2 hours I have ever experienced in my life," like seanflynn did, which is just laughable.
But the film has achieved classic status. Roger Ebert wrote, "Affection for good films often grows with familiarity, as it does with music. Some have said life is a prison, we are Red, Andy is our redeemer. All good art is about something deeper than it admits."
You have zero ability to judge what I feel is excruciating Pucifer. It is my judgment, and my reporting of how I felt watching the film. It doesn't have to be yours, or anyone else's. It was a painful experience for me. And I'll ask you not to speak for me, as much as you want to.

I wasn't speaking for you, I was of course referring to my own opinion of Shawshank Redemption, which I think is a near-great classic. However, I would like to know what about the film's depiction of the bond that develops between Robbins' and Freeman's characters, which could be called "love," you find excruciating?
