I'll start with 3, in no particular order:
1. Fargo - even though I'd heard how awesome the wood chipper scene was, I couldn't make it that far. The characters and their nasal accents were SO annoying that I couldn't stand another minute of it after about 40 mins. I was fervently wishing every character would die and they'd start all over.
2. Princess Bride - finally watched it not too long ago and it definitely lived down to my expectations. It's billed as a comedy and, yet, I literally didn't so much as smile or even smirk a single time. Didn't entertain or amuse me in the least. Almost nodded off before the end. For the life of me, I don't understand people who've have told me 'it's one of my all-time favorites'.
3. The Gods Must Be Crazy - a true WTF was that? kind of movie for me. I felt like the entire movie was a running inside joke that I didn't get. Maybe the joke was, 'You believed other people when they said this movie was good - ha, ha!' Complete nonsense and boring as hell. 100 mins of my life I would truly like to get back.
There are plenty of others, of course, but those 3 immediately popped into my head when I thought of the topic.
