least favorite things about your most favorite movies

[freakandgeek]

ok, i know there must be some things about your most favorite movies that bother you....i have some

the good girl
-you see the guy's pee pee...ew
-holden's ending

magnolia
-i feel bad for the froggies...i hope they didn't use real froggies to do that

reservoir dogs
-i must admit, it is slow...you have to really be in the mood to watch it

halloween
-not really THAT scary....just kinda creepy (but i love it anyways)

better off dead
-the girl he loves that dumps him is gross!

scarface
-it can be slow...also must be in the mood to watch

these are my favorite movies, but no movie is perfect
-

[Hannibal21]

The Silence of the Lambs
-Not very scary, but creepy and suspenseful.

Spider Man
-The effects sometimes looked fake.

Requiem for a Dream
-TOO depressing, must be in the mood to watch.

Citizen Kane
-A little too slow.

Batman Returns
-Christopher Walken's character.

Goodfellas
-Also, a little slow.

Pulp Fiction
-Quentin Tarantino's horrible acting! Other than that, perfect!

These "complaints" are so miniscule and unimportant that they really don't matter, but...

Schindler's List - The modern day beginning. The ending was touching, but the beginning didn't need to be there.

Saving Private Ryan - The modern day beginning and ending. I say just start the movie in WW2 and end it there. We don't need the "twist" that the old man is Ryan, not (Tom Hanks' character).

The Fellowship of the Ring - The section with Kate Blanchett was a little slow.

The Crow - Those cheap-looking "crow's-eye-view" shots were a little distracting.

Mallrats - Jeremy London's bad acting annoys me once or twice. Some of his dialogue feels unnatural too.

Swimming With Sharks - A few jumpy cuts. Also, the cliched, "I will never have sex with you" - cut to next scene where they're having sex part.

Dark City - One jumpy cut where Sewell is talking to Hurt on a balcony - he's on the left, Hurt's on the right (the camera's directly facing their sides) - and it cuts dead-on to the other side of them, so then Hurt's on the left.

(I'm not saying that my two favorite movies are flawless, but I can't think of anything right now on them.)

Dazed And Confused

-The kid in the lead role cannot stop touching his nose

Magnolia

-The final scene with Claudia on the bed does not work

The Virgin Suicides

-Credit Sequence is dreadful

Boy's Don't Cry

-Sevigny singing terribly

American Beauty

-The teenagers dialogue is, like, you know, at times, so American talk show

Donnie Darko

-Frank could bother me sometimes.

Requiem For A Dream

-Hate the actor who plays Tappy.


And so on...

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! My friends and I kept laughing at him when he was speaking to the other freshman (girl) outside of the pool hall.

[Annie Hall]

Moulin Rouge--damn ending. But, seriously folks...it does drag ever-so-slightly in the middle. Not that it's not all needed...and very romantic...but...I don't know. It's perfect.

Say Anything...-John Cusack's face when he's holding up the boombox...I mean...perfect scene...but he's thinking "what the hell am I doing?"

American Beauty- Although a very good character...sometimes His Majesty is a bit annoying.

Magnolia- Near the end, Will H. Macy started to become rather annoying more than anything.

have you tried and counted how many times he either touches his nose or face or hair or something? there's quite a few times. i can't remember how many i counted, i did it so long ago, but it was A LOT...and its fun!

Actually, I think Pulp Fiction is a perfect movie. :)

Onto the topic:

Magnolia - Julianne Moore's horrible acting, particularly the scene in the drug store.
Swingers - The scene where the answering machine talks..


That's all I can think of..

Yes, yes. My least favorite part of the movie. Except for that, it's spotless.
