    Films which have a fanboy following. Anything superhero related. Films based on toys or games.

    Also, anything with Johnny Depp made in the last ten years. His popularity as an actor befuddles me immensely.

    Steven Seagal.

    Horrible waft of Pont l'Eveque.

    Nicholas Cage has been in a few decent films well worth watching.

    Leaving Las Vegas. I love that film. He gets too much slack around here and Face Off was epic watching back in the day.

    True, Cage has done the business on numerous flicks over the years.

    Pre 1990 Cage rocked. Actually, any Cage film with rock in the title also rocked. After that, yeah you're right.

    Raising Arizona , Peggy Sue got Married. WILD AT HEART! :)
    Leaving Las Vegas! Gone in sixty seconds was not soooo very bad...ok maybe...

    Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

    My oul lad thinks all movies should be like Steven Seagal vehicles, 'plenty of blowing up, no stupid riding scenes getting in the way and not too far-fetched':confused:

    That idiot can't even act, it looks like he just sauntered onto the set and wondering where he is and what he's doing there.

    No vampires or spaceships in sight so he'd consider that alright.

    Michael Bay, 5 second screen cut action movies where you can't actually tell what the fxxx is happening and to who because the camera keeps changing scenes faster than your eyes can keep up.

    The presumption that the audience are slow witted. For example the need to have a 10 second close up on the business card left on the table that reads "Mrs Badguy". Just let it be seen in passing. We don't need it focused on with the sudden "dun dun dun!!" music kicking in. We're not idiots. And even if we are or we're maybe not paying too much attention or whatever right at that moment, we'll pick it up due to, you know, the entire rest of the movie.

    The exception to this being a Muppet film, which is where I not only expect a lingering shot of a card with 'badguy' on it, but for the villain to be called Mrs. Badguy at every opportunity, and to look like one of those moustache twirling cads who used to tie women to train tracks in old movies (female version of)

    Lack of a good quality rip on Piratebay is usually a deal breaker for me ;)

    Anything with Sandra Bullock. I can't stand her. Someone mentioned Owen Wilson stumbling onto a movie set and not knowing what is going on. Sandra Bullock has to be his female equivalent.
