This should be fun...
Which films do you think should never have been made?
Here's my list, in no particular order (apologies in advance if I offend anyone!):
(Based on my lowest rated films)
The Haunting (1999)
The Next Best Thing (2000)
Get Shorty (1995)
Dumb & Dumber (1994)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (a.k.a. The Grinch) (2000)
Bringing Out The Dead (1999)
Bicentennial Man (1999)
Sommersby (1993)

My favorite Coen movies are Barton Fink and Razing Arizona
I mostly enjoyed those, giving them about 3.5 stars each, but I wasn't blown away. As you already know I love Fargo, but their first film "Blood Simple" has a similar gritty feel except none of the humor. It's a dead serious film about affairs and murders, etc. Definitely worth watching.

M. Night Shyamalan has made a couple of my least favorite movies ever: Unbreakable and The Village. Not only are they painful to watch, but they're (well, Unbreakable is anyway) horribly overrated, which makes me resent them all the more.

I actually think that Unbreakable is his best movie, which makes it underrated in my opinion. The Village is an interesting movie, I have to admit. At first it absolutely sucks, then the end happens and it all makes sense... but who cares? It still doesn't really intrigue. So while technicalities like their really horrible accents start to make sense, it still doesn't really make you want to like it.
I think M. Night Shyamalan really needs to try his hand at not trying to be all twisty. Sixth Sense was a twist that was interesting and spectacular. All of the rest of the twists seem too forced. Unbreakable would have been the apex of brilliance without it. With Signs it was too smarmy. With the Village it finally had a reason and made sense, but nobody cared.

i kinda liked unbreakable even though it was a little slow. i could totally see how someone wouldnt like it. i didnt bother checking out the village cuz i disliked the trailer to begin with.

my definition of a bad movie is a movie that bored me, dissapointed me or just made me wanna leave the theatre, it may well be the case that the movie was well made and all that, but that it doesn't was in my taste.
:) yeah i can totally respect that, i guess i was a little hasty in my comments. im sure most of us have at one pt disliked a movie that was critically acclaimed and praised as a good film. i, for example, hate napolean dynomite and lost in translation with a passion. maybe they are good movies on a certain wavelength, but my brain just doesnt work that way :D

Any film from the slasher genre (with the sole exception of Hitchcock's Psycho).
Any colossally stupid movie that smugly lectures me and dispenses idiotic notions or dull bromides as if they were deep insight and hard-won wisdom.
Here are some truly vile, stupid films I wish I'd never seen:
Natural Born Killers (1994)
Copy Cat (1995)
Frailty (2001)
Audition (1999)
Party Monster (2003)
Mallrats (1995)
What the Bleep Do We Know? (2004)
Patch Adams (1998)
Life Is Beautiful (1997)
And here are some vastly overrated films that I really detest for aesthetic and political reasons:
Triplets of Belleville (2003), a tediously repetitive, excruciatingly boring, sour little cartoon.
Zorba the Greek (1964), supposedly "life-affirming" but actually rather nasty, dreary, and phony. (Great soundtrack, though.)
Hero (2002), a chocolate-boxy piece of martial-arts kitsch with a nice little fuehrerprinzip message for the kiddies.
Birth of a Nation (1915), the first half is unwatchable, snooze-inducing melodrama, the second half is pure racist lunacy.

Well, yeah, I'm a pretty passionate guy, I admit. You aren't offended by my opinions, are you, PolarisDiB?
