non-PC comedies that nobody dares to make anymore-moviemakers have lost the ability to laugh at themselves...

First you tell the truth then you back off of it.

The truth is that Hollywood is scare $hitless of the monster they helped create.

They are deathly afraid to offend anyone but White Heterosexual Males.

They have the ability to make movies like Blazing Saddles but they afraid to make a movie that might offend a protected minority.

Only people like Spike Lee are permitted to make an offensive movie, Too bad Spike is only interested in making drek.

Pearl Harbor (I'm not sure if Pearl was ever a hit but it sure was insipid)

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school
He was terrible in that film
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He's way better than Ben Affleck
And all I can think of is your smile....and that s____t movie, too
Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you

Lord Of The Rings – all of them. As I saw someone post somewhere – “a bunch of straight guys spend 9 hours walking and fighting over a piece of jewelry”.

Avatar

Titanic

Forrest Gump

[americas.best.days...]

Oh I know. Tried but couldn’t get through either.

[leaning conservative]

Titanic too! Do NOT get. I was kind of like, “Die already.”

[leaning conservative]

That movie has been on my bucket list.

[BenLurkin]

If only. It would have been a much better picture.

Lawrence of Arabia He was an English Guy He came to fight the Turkish

He came to conquer Arabia to give it to the Arabs

That didn’t work out so well did it.

The Wizard of Oz (1939 version)--the ending was so bad that it almost ruined the film.

[SoFloFreeper]

I never got “Field of Dreams”. And “Pulp Fiction” was crap.

“Oh, George, not the livestock.”

[fatima]

Polar Express,Frozen,Hocus Pocus,I could go on.

[nopardons]

He also made some very serious movies, like THE ELEPHANT MAN, which are extremely good.

And his "funny" movies, except for MEN IN TIGHTS, are fantastic!

Wiggle your tank now!

I used to go down to Hinesville (Ft. Stewart), and just north of the base was the tank firing range. Go by when one fires, it feels like you got punched in the chest.

Dunkirk

I was disappointed that the film was not about the Battle of Dunkirk in 1658, but a later event. The 1658 battle would make a great setting for a dramatic screenplay.

[virgil]

All of the Tim Burton crap too.

[nopardons]

Me too.

Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you

One of the worst parts was how the two idiot fighter jocks end up piloting the B-25s in the Tokyo raid. It amazes me how Hollywood seems to think if you can fly a Cessna then you can command a B-52. The main characters were crap and the actors that portrayed them were even worse.

[nopardons]

Do see it, but no...it has less than NOTHING at all to even remind you, even vaguely, of Slick Willie Clinton, in it.

It's actually sort of about Arthur Godfrey, so if anyone is looking for an analogy of a "modern" person, perhaps it's Rush L.!

[Pontiac]

Gravity. A totally implausible plot and a puzzling and unsatisfying ending.

Granted the plot as a whole was implausible.

But the visuals were fantastic. And it is the only space movie to actually put on film crashes in space with no sounds of breaking glass or taring metal. Actual silence as a space station is shredded.

It was far more realistic than pretty much any other space movie in that respect.
