My friend had every Lord of the Rings movie playing at his house after the DVDs came out and I just couldn't get into any of them. Hell, I was offered a ride to a car dealership that was giving away the first (you were supposed to test drive the vehicle first, but they were so annoyed by that, they were just giving them away.) I didn't even bother.

I thought The Big Lebowski was ok. I just couldn't really get into it but I quote the hell out of it everyday. Then I try watching the movie again for a second time and it still feels like the first time watching it.

DRACULA (the 1931 version with Bela Lugosi) - Lugosi is certainly awesome, but none of the rest of the actors are really any good. Dwight Frye would like a word with you. Fair point, Frye was rather enjoyable. A bit over-the-top and hammy for my taste, but that's certainly better than the bland blocks of wood surrounding him on set (again, Lugosi excluded).

As others have mentioned, 2001. After about 45 minutes of screaming monkeys, my friend and I looked at each other and said, "f*** this!"

The movie was kind of dry, but Dwight Frye as Renfield was excellent. And Lugosi pretty much set the mark for all other movie vampires to aspire to ... except the twitards, I suppose.

I've said before I enjoy the hell out of Lugosi, and I agree with your point about his influence on the portrayal of vampires, but I've always preferred the silent classic NOSFERATU. *shrug*

Pulp Fiction. I loved it when it first came out, but then again I was 16 at the time. The movie just hasnt aged well in my opinion, and it seems very very dated now. Thats just my opinion though.
The Sixth Sense. Enjoyable, but boring, one viewing was enough to last a lifetime.
Sin City. Not boring, but again I have no desire to ever see it again.
The Two Towers. I enjoyed Fellowship quite a bit, but TT was so friggin boring that I turned it off in the middle and never even bothered with Return of the King.

The way they set the mood in that movie ... Awesome. But then I like silent films like The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of The Opera, so I'm biased. I am also bummed that I will never get to see London After Midnight. The discomfort that Lon Chaney put himself through for that film ... that's suffering for your art.

I have on tape the "re-creation" they did of London After Midnight, using the script and production stills...it really just made me feel bummed, like you, that I couldn't see the film in all its glory. Yeah, I dig silent films, too. I'm particularly fond of THE CAT AND THE CANARY.

^^I keep getting hope when I hear new rumors of them finding a copy of the film intact (like that one about MGM having one in their vault that was mislabeled as The Hypnotist), but I don't have my hopes up.
Edit: Damn Bob, you got in my way ... ;D

I did not care for The Godfather.
I just thought it was so long and so boring, and I couldn't see what made this film so special. Maybe because it was the first mob movie or whatever, but I think Scarface did it 1000 times better.

"A Christmas Story" - I'd rather have to go to the gynecologist every day for the rest of my life than sit through that damn thing again. >.>

A Clockwork Orange: One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Hell I'd rather watch Gigli 500 more times than watch that crap again.
The Godfather: Good movie but not the greatest film ever like some people think.

I did not care for The Godfather. Did you believe it insisted on itself?
