    There probably won't be a 7th. As a rule of thumb, it's best not to advertise your new account when your old one was sitebanned.

    A man that says he doesn't like E.T. is a liar. A man that says he doesn't like Jaws isn't a man.


    I like the cut of your gib.


    ....and like that *puff* he's gone....

    Ghost was another one that would appeal to the masses.

    Toy Story.

    Anyone that I ever met that was in any way negative towards it always turned out to have never watched it, "it's for kids!"

    I've never met anyone who has seen it and still doesn't like it.

    Hello, nice to meet you.

    E.T. First movie I ever saw, aged 5, in a picture house.

    And you know what, it upset me so much when ET and the boy parted Ive never watched it since. Genuinely I can still recall the heartbroken feelings and floods of tears i was in over it and im 42 now. Maturity and perspective have done nothing.

    So I'm gonna say i don't like it.

    There’s one mentioned already I dislike. But let’s not mess up the thread.

    Christmas movies are fun, right?

    My suggestions are:

    Scrooged. A Christmas Carol. It’s a wonderful life.

    Hello. It's nice to meet you too.

    You must like Toy Story because, as I have said, it's a movie that's impossible to dislike.

    I came in to say this. I rarely read or hear a bad review about it.

    It was one of my favourite movies years ago but I hadn't seen it in about 10 years until last week. In those 10 years, anytime I heard it mentioned I assumed that time wouldn't be too kind to it and I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much when I finally watched it again.

    Well I was totally wrong on that. Time not being kind to it? I actually found some themes in it to be even more relevant in today's world. Not least of all, the movie's closing Freeman monologue.

    Technically, it still looks amazing and holds up very well. I'm not a film critic so I'll leave the terms out, but it just looks great. The sense of place from each scene is well established, the time it takes not to rush the viewer in to some bloated set-piece, the room to breathe each scene gets, things I miss from many of today's popular offerings.

    Because they don't exist.

    I would say nobody dislikes Beverly Hills Cop.
    I can't look at or listen to Eddie Murphy. He wrecks my head!

    The Shawshank Redemption.

    Anyone who doesn't feel good when at the end Morgan Freeman says "Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of **** and came out clean on the other side" has no soul.

    Plenty people don't like it. It's often cited as massively overrated which I'd be be inclined to agree with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    I have the answer! Ferris Beuller's Day Off. Anyone who dislikes this needs their head examined.
