Lost in Translation is one of my all-time favorites. Gave it to a friend to watch, and she was completely floored that I thought it was any good. She just said that nothing happened in the movie, it was boring. I guess I could relate to the characters, and she couldn't.

Lost in Translation is BORING! It's mostly shots of Scarlett Johansen in her underwear looking out a hotel window. ZZZZZ (Sofia Coppola is a crappy director, but at least nepotism is alive and well in Hollywood.)

We'll have to agree to disagree -- I think the movie was brilliant.

But there are plenty of polarizing movies. I for one, love Napolean Dynamite... I know of plenty who just don't get it, and think its lame (including Roger Ebert).

A million times yes. Horrible script, over the top acting. Good special effects wasted on James Cameron's massive ego trip.

Titanic -- WORST MOVIE EVER. i was bored within the first 5 minutes. (and i was their target audience.)

Number 1 selling movie of all time, but I agree with you. And some people will argue strongly that Celine Dion is a better singer than Whitney Houston was.

That movie with James Franco about the hiker who cut off his arm. I tried to watch it. Was just bored.

I'll never understand why they killed off the crooked warden. Wouldn't it have been much better to let him live out his days under the awful prison conditions he created?

Avatar. Worst plot, worst acting ever. Ever!! That military guy who just held his breath for long periods of time? So stupid.

The King's Speech. It was just ok. Not all that it was cracked up to be.

Star Wars. I just don't get it.

And that one that won a bunch of awards a few years back with Daniel Day Lews (who I usually adore) about an oil tycoon and his adopted son? Horrid.

He killed himself. Or do you mean why did Stephen King write the story that way?
