Open Water 2 was way more suspenseful, only because it involved a baby.
Seemed so unrealistic. The original Open Water had a much more plausible plot.

Waterworld (or any other Kevin Costner movie.) Worst actor on the planet. Out of Africa, Raising Arizona or any of the Twilight movies.
I feel the same way about Slum Dog Millionaire... beautiful movie from the cinamatics and the storyline is genius.. but so sad and depressing. even though there's a happy end.. cant watch it again.It will be a cold day in your afterlife of choice before I watch Dead Man's Shoes again.
Not because it's bad, on the contrary, it's very good, it's just insanely sad and hard to watch. I don't sign up to watch actors I like in movies like that without preparation
To each his own. I actually fell asleep during it in the theatreRaising Arizona is a great movie!
A Christmas Story.
A box office bomb that has since become a cult classic. I'm just not in THAT cult I guess.
That is a bomb in the movie industry. So bad that distributor pulled it out of theaters early. But as a Rocky Horror Picture Show fan, another bomb, I understand the value of being a cult film.It wasn't a bomb. Wasn't a hit by any means, but it only cost $3 million to produce and grossed $21 million. Any film that makes back 7 times it's budget is hardly a bomb. In 2019 dollars it would be equivalent to over $50 million. Given that the film had no stars to promote it, I'd say it did OK.
^THIS. It doesn't help that it came out at about the time I had to put my own dog down (yellow lab, cancer).Never saw and never will -- Marley and Me. Read the book and that did me in.

Both films greatly loved on this end. Lived on coffee and snippets of "A Christmas Story" on Christmas Eve, wrapping presents and working in the kitchen for many years when my children were growing up. As for "The Rocky Horror Show" it was important to visit the Waverly in Greenwich Village for the midnight showing complete with audience participation. Made for a cheap night's entertainment followed by a Grey's Papaya hot dog and shared drink or slices from Strombolli's (way better than Ray's!). Great times and sorry they are all gone.I saw it at the theatre (I was 13). I loved it and have loved it ever since. It isn't a "cult" classic. It is simply a classic. I would classify something like "Rocky Horror" as a cult classic (and I can't stand it). A Christmas Story is pretty mainstream classic.
