'Classic' films you didn't think were all that great.

Saw Chariots of Fire given the season that's in it for the first time recently. It's a good film, but not AMAZING.

No chariots and no fire.
Fuckin' liars.

I think Scarface is average at best.

Hande hoche!

Raging Bull. Honestly preferred Rocky.

fergiesfolly

Star Wars. There. I've said it. Its ok. But the way people Talk about it, you'd think it was the only film ever made.

Mr. Manager

Saw the original Charlie and the chocolate factory for the first time last Christmas. Thought it was a bit daft and not good at all.

This!

I actually prefer the new Tim Burton version, thought it was far closer to the book.

The Rocky anthology for me. Honestly couldn't even force my way through them. Then again I do have a serious aversion to sport.

HidePork

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - not even a proper Western and they copied that bike scene from a silent movie.

Giselle

Fell asleep during Citizen Kane. Loved Metropolis though.

Most of the big blockbuster types are so overhyped they can never live up to my expectations. I'm very suggestible .

I found Inception, and especially Avatar to be really tedious and convoluted.

senorwipesalot

Bladerunner,load of cobblers.

Diego Maradona

The Godfather trilogy, load of shite.

Oh thank god! I'm not the only one! I thought inception was crap, the whole concept for both movies was just to provide a framework to wrap kewl sheshul effex around.

El Guapo!

Drive.

Everyone was banging on about this film this year. I thought it was OK.
Didn't really do it for me.

Darkglasses

Raging Bull, Casablanca, Miller's Crossing, Scarface.

Colmustard

Teminater 2 and The Dark Knight,

I seen John Carter last week, I was expecting it to be lousy, but it was actually an enjoyable film. It didn't deserve the derision it got.

johnmcdnl

Citizen Kane.. Mildly interesting but I just don't understand the obsession film conessieurs have with it. 7/10 but far from greatest film ever

Christ above, really!?

Although I am absolutely in love with Harrison Ford. Rutger Hauter is unbelievably cool as well; he plays his role spectacularly. Also I love sci fi!

stateofflux

'the searchers'...regarded as the best western ever made... i thought the dollars trilogy kicked the stuffing out of it...

Birroc

Citizen Kane
Casablanca
English Patient (way too many oscars)
Inception (interesting concept made rediculous)

Namlub

Shawshank Redemption. I mean, it's good, but not the 'best move ever!1!'

Loved that film to and he was genetically engineered to play that role, it was an inspired casting for Roy Batty. I loved the music as well.

The Matrix.

maggege

Woody Allen's movies are not that great. Overrated in my opinion. Especially his very firts movies... The same story on and on just different background but all the same. After years of work he finally made some not great but OK movies e.g. Vicky Cristina Barcelona or Small Time Crooks.

I forgot about The English Patient. Six months of my life I can never have back.

So long.

So very, very, very, very long .

Lad has a sweet factory.
Big swing.

Also as a business man he needs to address over elaborate and cost inefficient production methods. Also the marketing dept should be able to do better than a competition for a "free tour of the facility" Laughable.

The MiniVan

The new batman movie out now,The Dark Knight Rises.......I know its not a classic movie but everyone I know is goin about what a brilliant flick it is.

I thought it was ok.........not a patch on the previous batman movie with Heath Ledger.

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

Indiana Jones. Thoroughly mediocre films.

Tinker tailor was awful. Director owes me 2 hours of life back

Colmustard

I seen Breakfast at Tiffanys for the first time a few months ago, its meant to be a classic but I thought it was naff.

Audrey was good though

Be eaten alive for this, but don't think the Lord of the Rings trilogy is as good as some people make it out to be.

Gawd, it was a brilliantly constructed film, the dingy 70s and it showed you how computers tidied up the world and it had a cast to die for.

But I hadn't a clue what was going on and I read the book.

And UCI wouldn't give me a refund.

Snowie

Batman the dark knight rises ......


such a bad film

Run_to_da_hills

Where Eagles Dare, WW2 Movie

Saw it as a kid and thought it was brilliant, was on TV over Christmas one year and was crap, bad acting, continuity errors and of course all the Nazi soldiers spoke English to each other.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Anyone said Godfather yet?

Nah, the last one, The Last Crusade was class. There were no other ones after that. Anyone who who says different is a liar.

they never made a 4th Indy movie, I hear it was going to have Shia LeBouf in it and have a scene where Indy survives a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge but the studio thought it was daft and never made it, anyone who thinks they actually saw this film were just dreaming, it doesnt exist.

I actually haven't seen that one and I don't really care. The others didn't impress me at all. They're alright but nothing special.
