I Really Despised Citizen Kane.


Although I Loved The First Half I Absolutely Hated The Rest Of The Film.


It Was Like 2 Separate Films Disjointed And With Very Poor Continuity.


I Especially Thought The Whole "RoseBud Mystery" Was A Bit Of Overhyped Nonsense. We All Experience The Reality Of Not Realizing That Our Childhood Held Special Meaning That We Can Never Recapture.


Over Rated Trash Overall...In My Opinion.


So What Classics Did You Really Hate?????

I don't know that I'd call any of these "classics," but they were certainly lauded by critics at the time.

BEACHES. I would rather have someone hammer a hot fork into my arm than have to sit through this movie again. The whole point of this movie seems to be: You know what? A woman's mid-life crisis is just as narcissistic as any man's. More navel gazing please!

THE ENGLISH PATIENT is a movie made for critics, not audiences.

GONE WITH THE WIND. The ultimate silly melodrama.

THE MATRIX. The last movie that made me truly angry for having wasted all most three hours of my life sitting through this offensive mess of a movie.

TOP GUN. Probably the movie I hate more than any other movie on the planet. This movie is like everything wrong with the 1980s wrapped into a suppository and shoved up our collective ***es.

I agree wholeheartedly with this, save that this film is actually TIED with Ferris Bueller's Day Off!

I am beginning to think I am the only person on Earth that liked The English Patient...

Overrated for me: Rosemary's Baby. I did not find it particularly scary, and found the ending to be a let down.

Another one: Shaft (Original). While I thought the character himself was cool, I felt the movie was boring. I kept waiting for it to 'get going'.

Another one: Annie Hall. I guess I just don't get the whole Woody Allen thing?

Another: Blazing Saddles. I didn't find it as hysterical as everyone says it is. My husband loves this movie and cannot believe I don't.

I am sure there are plenty of others, just these come to mind right away.

No, I loved it (and the book)!

Me, either--and I don't know too many women who did--although I thought "Young Frankenstein" was very clever and funny, and a lot of people didn't seem to think so when it first came out.

"Pulp Fiction" is considered by some a classic in the crime/gangster genre, and I hated it. I wanted to walk out, and should have. Everyone I know still raves about it.

Totally agree with you on BOTH "Young Frankenstein" and "Pulp Fiction".

WATERSHIP DOWN. I didn't see it til I was an adult. But I'm a very sensitive little flower and expected to bawl my eyes out. I didn't like the art or animation - nor the voice acting or story action. To me it dragged and I didn't care about the annoying bunnies. They all seemed sort of menacing to me. Watched most but not all of it.
