Wait, how is that possible? All they do is (lovingly) rip off films.

For me its gotta be The Green Mile - I couldn't read the book without sobbing my heart out, gave the movie a try but as soon as I saw that bloody mouse I was in tears, had to turn it off straight away and have vowed never to watch it again!

I flat out refuse to watch those terrible American remakes of great non-American films like The Italian Job, Get Carter, Tale of Two Sisters (Turned into the Uninvited), Psycho, The Eye, Taxi etc. The originals were masterpieces of cinema and only weakened by abysmal American remakes. Which is why I cannot decide if I will watch David Fincher's (One of the best directors currently working) The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo..... my mind says stick to the original but then I see a trailer for it...... *

Jaykays Hat, please watch requiem for a dream. I'll agree the wrestler wasn't great, black swan was OK at best, the odd bit was cool. But for me Requiem for a dream is one of the most harrowing films on the market. Seriously powerful. Hard not to feel hollow inside after, which although is debatable whether that is a good thing, personally I'd say any film that can affect people that much is definitely worth the watch.

I refuse to watch the Kill Bill movies, quite frankly, there's not a single Tarantino movie that interests me. Each story seems rubbish to me, though I'm going to make an exception for Inglorious Bastards, just to see Michael Fassbender. He blew me away in First Class, and I vowed to see all his movies.
Saw movies, Human Centipede, so torture porn in general.
A more recent movie: Transformers, saw the first one, total waste of my money, so no Transformers for me anymore.

Jack Black movies. Even his voice in Kung Fu Panda was irritating.

School of Rock I managed, although it would have been a better film without him.

Gonna have also say the Twilight films, i borrowed the first one for me and my girlfriend to watch one evening and it's was so boring we both feel a sleep, just cannot under stand the hype
I know I'm gonna get some stick for this but I cannot watch the Harry Potter films, friends and family are forever telling me to watch them but I just cannot do it.
Top Gun
Any thing with Hugh Grant in it.
There's loads more but cannot think at the mo.

Most sequels. Transformers 1 was bad enough, won't try the rest.
Also, S Darko. The original was fantastic and should have been left alone. The reviews for S didn't help.

Any film which teenage girls adore, e.g. Twilight, Mean Girls, High School Musical

From here on end, i refuse to watch anything by M Night Shyamalan. Now i dug the Sixth Sense, and i kind of loved Unbreakable, then the downward spiral started: the senseless plot twists of Signs (they can't stand WATER? Really?), the insultingly retarded ending of the village. I was fast becoming not a fan before the grating smugness of This Man's Mighty Words Will Save Humanity (Gee, he looks a lot like you Manoj) in The Smarmy Twat At Poolside. Then there's the bizarre arthouse experiment of The Happening (How many types of bad acting can one man fit into a film? No, not the breeze in the leaves). An uninterrupted plummet from huge potential to utter crapness, each film managing to be more inept and yet more self-important than the previous.
But not the reason i no longer watch MNS.
No that'd be his horrifying violation of one of the great animated shows of recent years - Avatar the Last Airbender.
Its a superb series, one of my favourites, fast paced, action packed, funny, a story of decent emotional depth set in a fantasy world of fantastic detail.
The film however is none of these things. The live action gang-rape of a remake is turgid and tedious, utterly humourless, its action rendered uninvolving, confused and confusing by terrible effects work slo-mo. Indeed, as you watch you realise this is the work of a film-maker utterly lacking in technical skill or artistic value, as MNS destroys all that is good in the original to make it fit some model of a Shyamalan film. Amazingly we get this far before mentioning that he has cast solely for a lack of acting ability remarkable in anyone who isn't Rose Huntington-Whitely, that he has butchered the pronunciation of all the names from the original (in his own words "to honour the source material"), or that he chose to abandon the fantastically cinematic conclusion to the show, in favour of a cheap and nasty effects sequence that seems to hinge on the fact that the enemy sailors are all scared of water (well, they are offensively stereotyped as some race of homosexual muslims, mincing about in mascara, so why not denigrate their professional ability as a navy to boot?)
There is quite simply no film that fills me with the loathing that TLA does, and with Shyamalan's track record only one thing is certain - the next one will be worse.
No thanks
