The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Babe’s in Toyland. Turns out that it isn’t NSFW. Fooled me twice as a teenager
Gandhi, and Lawrence of Arabia… I can’t sit for three hours
Scarface
Forrest Gump
Independence Day
Star Wars, Star Trek, any of those “universe superhero” movies, and generally most movies that were nominated for best picture in any of the award shows.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and most musicals I dislike.
Avatar. I walked out. I couldn’t care less about Avatar 2.
This is almost the same as the question What highly regarded movies don’t you like? asked 2 weeks ago but I’ll bite:
Star Wars…had to keep asking who was who and why they were doing what they were doing and who were the good/bad guys, never watched any more of them.
Don’t watch superhero movies like Batman, except loved Jessica Jones.
Don’t watch romances unless they sneak it into a dramedy.
Haven’t watched so many movies that people my age have watched: Porky’s, the one with the gopher popping up out of holes on the golf course with that Blues Brother, so many others.
Men in Black, watched the first and that was plenty.
I walked out of the Batman movie with Bane in the first sequence. The music bothered me. I did watch at home later.
@smudges I did try to search to see if this was asked before I asked and nothing even close came up so I figured it was safe well so much for google.
Not really “hate” but definitely dislike:
Fantasia
Lawrence of Arabia
The Shining
Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom
Clerks
Speed
28 Days Later
The Polar Express
Django Unchained
Mad Max: Fury Road
Okay one more answer from someone else and I’ll give mine. (gulp)
A Clockwork Orange
Smokey And The Bandit
Grease
…so much for google
Yeah, I think you have to almost know what the question was in order for it to show up. LOL
Most musicals. I’m not a fan.
All the Disney Star Wars ones (except Rogue One, which I found so-so).
Most of the Marvel comic book hero films.
All Indiana Jones after Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Mad Max: Fury Road.
All Alien films after Aliens.
Okay (some) of mine:
Jaws
Star Wars in order that they came out ,after episode VI (although the Ewoks were dumb)
Godfather and ALL mafia/gang related movies or shows..yes even the Sopranos.
Avatar, sorry blue people.
The Thing sequel 2011
All the Batman movies
Titanic
Avatar
Most Disney movies, except zootopia, because I am a furry.
The recent Dune movie.
The Batman
Ghostbusters Afterlife
All the Hollywood Godzilla movies.
Batman Ninja
Hate is a high bar. And most of the stuff I would say I hate is not popular. Like I could bust on Batman & Robin or Episode 7 and 8 of the Disney Star Wars trilogy….but they weren’t popular. EVERYONE busts on them. Transformers kind of falls in the same category. I hate it…but it seems like everyone else does too…and yet they make enough money to keep getting sequels. So maybe Transformers is my best answer?
Deerhunter wasn’t popular but it was highly rated, and it’s SO BAD. There’s ONE good scene (the russian roulette scene) and the rest of it is absolute trash.
The original Avatar wasn’t a bad movie, but would probably be my pick for ‘most overrated of all time’. But that’s not hate I guess.
2001 a Space Odyssey. Pretty much went down hill after the first 5 minutes. The endless light show was brutal. “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”. -HAL 9000

Here’s the previous, from two weeks ago:
https://www.fluther.com/235114/what-highly-regarded-movies-dont-you-like/
I googled “fluther what highly regarded movies don’t you like” and that’s how I found it.
I don’t like Marvel movies, Sci Fi movies (like Vanilla Sky or Star Wars), movies where there’s a lot of suffering or torture, like Hunger Games (or shows like Handmaiden’s Tale). I’m not a big fan of kids’ movies like The Minions.
^^ I’m a huge fan of kids’ movies! They take me away (like Calgon) and let me be a child with a child’s delight again. I also love bright colors, so that may be why I also like cartoons.
Yeah, I said it! Wanna make sumpin of it? 8D

@smudges There’s somethin’ about you…can’t put my finger on it! Did I go to school with you? (chuckle)
LOL You seem very familiar to me, also. Maybe we knew one another in a previous incarnation?
^^Curiosity killed the cat! meow…lol
getting off topic, ummm Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. yeah hate that movie! there saved it.
As a horror movie fanatic I get shit for not liking The Shining. I don’t find it scary at all and I didn’t care about what happened to anyone.
