Blazing Saddles, The Princess Bride I cannot disagree with this more. These are two of my favorite movies ever. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Even if you ignore the fact it has nothing to do with the games, it's still boring. Good lord, that was a terrible and boring movie. On a technical level, it was a massive step forward for computer animation but that innovation was wasted on a piece of crap. They would have been much better served using that technology releasing Advent Children 4 years early even though it was not everything it could have been either. The Wrestler is kind of dull to me. I think when you have a meth addict mom, it kind of cuts the dramatic tension of "can't get his act together" films. I've seen it all before. I have never finished this film either. Fortunately, Marisa Tomei gets naked in it very early on so you can get the best part out of watching the movie without watching it for too long. I assume you mean the 2004 borefest about how race relations because that was putrid. The 1996 Crash that starred James Spader was pretty damned good and made me feel a lot of conflicted feelings since it featured Holly Hunter, Deborah Unger, and Rosanna Arquette in erotic scenes but it had such a messed up theme. It reminds me of a later Spader film, 2002's Secretary. Dark Crystal is, visually, very impressive. It has gorgeous designs, from the exceptional puppets to the sets. It's also very, very dull. I loved that film as a child. If I had went into directing films it would have been a film that would have made me reluctant to rely on CGI as much as some directors do. I think that the Garthim, Skeksis, urRu, and even the Landstriders all looked better as puppets than most of the alien species in the Star Wars prequel movies did. |

Honestly
Most films that are considered masterpieces tend to bore me, This isn't me trying to be a rebel by hating on what's popular.
It's just how I genuinely feel.
Despite trying on numerous occasions, I have yet to finish the Godfather.

Out of ones I've finished these come to mind:
Inglorious Basterds

I'm in the minority but I found Batman Begins really boring. Also I concur with Quantum of Solace. The total and complete drabness that is "Man of Steel" made me long for the days of Superman III and IV. Well, almost... Man of Steel didn't bore me... it pissed me off but it didn't bore me. Also some of you are on my enemies for life... or until I forget list |

I sat through a 5 hour uncompleted cut of a silent movie called Greed, and it was STILL less boring and slow than The Deer Hunter.

I was shocked by how dull and unmemorable Captain America: The First Avenger turned out.
I remember the Star-Spangled Man song, Tommy Lee Jones, and a steak. The rest is a blur.

Prometheus.
Looks cool in places, but nowhere near as deep or original as it likes to think it is. And that ending with the thing coming out of the engineer felt like the film was trying to throw people a bone. It was like the film was saying "LOOK! THIS THING JUST CAME OUT THAT'S A BIT LIKE AN ALIEN!" Didn't redeem having to sit through 2 hours of the bloody thing though.

Gods and Generals.
I'd rather stare at a wall for three hours than watch that abomination ever again.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Don't get me wrong because I liked the movie, but it did get to the point where things started to drag around the middle.

I honestly tend to be able to watch anything in the right mood, but one of the few films which made me walk out of a cinema was Aeon Flux.
I'm not sure what in particular bored me out of my mind in retrospect, but it felt so empty and dull and...horrid. Like glaring at a bunch of burning money whilst you know it could have gone to filmmakers/actors who wouldn't make such crapness. I have told myself to rewatch it when I have nothing better to do but then more films I've never seen come up and I shudder thinking on rewatching something which made me walk out on a ticket I paid for...
Hell, I sat through Resident Evil 2 (so boring/bad) and Cannibal Holocaust (I'm not down with animals being legit eaten on film) so it must have been truly dull.

Apocalypse Now - there was maybe twenty minutes worth of interesting stuff spread out over a two and a half hour movie.

Deer Hunter. It's a great film...... After you get past all that wedding shit. Utterly boring. I wouldn't even say that. I'd actually go so far as to say this movie would have been far more interesting had it been shot in a non-linear fashion, especially focusing on De Niro and Walken. The third guy wasn't really even needed. I also thought the jump to Vietnam from the wedding was really really absurd. There's so many things that I personally find wrong with the movie, it's no coincidence that Cimino was a one hit wonder. He also helped kill the New Hollywood movement with Heaven's Gate. Thanks, asshole. |

I'd rather stare at a wall for three hours than watch that abomination ever again. my parents went to go see it with my brother, who was a big Civil War buff, while i went to go see something else (i forget what). i snuck in after intermission because my movie had finished, and it kept going and going and going and going. after about an hour and a half of trying to stay awake i turned to my mom and said the actual Civil War wasn't this long, which caused her to burst out laughing in the middle of the half crowded theater the sad part is that they actually announced at the end of there was going to be a third movie, as if anyone wanted to sit through another one after that snoozefest |

I agree with the OP's opinion on Chef. That movie was an absolute boring chore to get through. The Twitter/Vine bullshit had me rolling my eyes throughout.
Others:
- Watchmen
- Gone with the Wind
- Blackball (A f***ing terrible 'comedy'. One of the worst movies I've seen.)
- Remains of the Day
- Immortal Beloved
- Gods & Generals
- Thor
- Captain America: First Avenger
- Batman Begins
- Stargate

The 3rd Shrek movie, and this story I’m about to tell you is 100% true. We went to see it in the theater, got back to the car, and not 5 minutes after we saw it my wife asked if I liked it, and I couldn’t remember a damn thing that happened in the movie. Nothing.

Unbreakable. One of the few films I couldn't be arsed to finish and just turned off halfway through. I almost never do that. I watched The Human Centipede all the way, for crying out loud. Even Funny Games, my most hated film ever, I watched in its entirety, so I find it to be quite an achievement for Unbreakable to make me give so little of a shit that I didn't even want to finish watching it.
When I heard about it, I thought it was a fantastic concept and I was really excited about it but my god is it boooooooorrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnngggg! How do you have a film with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson in the lead roles and do NOTHING with it? And the forced, heavy-handed drama only elicited apathy from me. When I genuinely thought a solid hour and a half must have had passed and checked the time only to see that we were only 45 minutes in, I knew it was time to give it up.
Also, recently saw Sharknado for my thread and for a film with THAT premise, I found it incredibly boring. There was no fun to be had, not helped by the fact that it looks like they couldn't decide if they wanted to make it a comedy or a straightforward disaster film that just so happens to have a weird premise. So in the end, it ended up being an amazingly dull, generic, by-the-book action flick with bits of bad comedy thrown in. Also, there is no actual Sharknado until the very end so for the most part it's just a generic shark movie that just so happens to be taking place in the city because it's flooded. Talk about a wasted opportunity. And whose idea was it to colour-correct their supposedly campy fun movie GREY, the most depressing colour in existence? Hopefully the sequel is funnier.
