Swore never (ever!) to watch Titanic because of that fucking song. Easily my least favorite song of all time and worked in an office where your desk phone would play the radio station when this movie came out and the song was huge. Every time the song was on half of the office would hit "hold" on their phones, which would play the song at their desks. Holy shit, I heard this song every 20 minutes for about a month. I hate this movie, as a result, with the passion of a thousand burning suns.
I'm with you. I hate Céline Dion. Swore never to see it and still haven't. Every kid in our school took their gf to this movie. Luckily for me, I was single. Sucks that it broke all the box office records. Couldn't stand seeing it take out many of may all time favorites.
Haha.
My 2nd least favorite song also features prominently in a movie, although the movie is not what made the song famous. Well, Almost Famous.
F that movie after the stupid Tiny Dancer scene.
My wife has a poster for that movie up in our house. Cannot complain since I have dozens of PJ posters (at least one in every room!) but F that movie. That song makes me want to take a shower and scrub a layer of skin off.
I've never actually seen Almost Famous. Never looked interesting, but on the subject of hated movie songs, another around that time that I fucking despise is that schlock Aerosmith song from that equally shitty bloat pile known as Armageddon. God there were some awful movies that had equally annoying theme songs and made all the girls swoon.
I actually love that song and love that movie because of that song.....bear with me on this explanation.
The number of times my buddy (who I lived with after college when this movie was released and they were both popular) laughed our asses off at this piece of shit movie and sang "I don't want to close my eyes....!" or some horrid line from that even bigger piece of shit song would likely baffle anyone. I am betting this was laughed at 500 times over a 5 year period. We found every opportunity to make fun of it. I could call this guy right now and make mention of the movie, the characters, the plot, the song, the band and I am 100% sure we would be joking and laughing about it right away.

I tried to watch Almost Famous. Maybe I did? I just recall the hype and how giddy some were about it.
@Dankind voting on Costner. I would have bet money on that being your vote, lol!
Titanic has an unforgivably shitty script and pretty bad acting, but I still think it's a masterpiece in almost every other way. I know every inch of that boat by the end, and that's quite a feat to accomplish!
My dorm crew actually destroyed my television set the night Forrest Gump beat Pulp Fiction. That piece of absolute shit film (albeit with a great soundtrack) is next!
The first 20 minutes or so of Saving Private Ryan (minus the inexcusable Spielberg touch sight gag of the soldier taking off his helmet only to have a bullet tear through his head) had the makings of a great film, then the dialogue happened. Also, fuck Schindler's List!
Out of this list, Unforgiven FTW!
Gump is one of those movies I have to stop and watch no matter where I am.
Fell asleep during my first watch of Pulp. Had to wait another year before I saw it again and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Who falls asleep during a movie with 90's Samuel in it!? Iconic.
The movie was not doing it for me. Had never seen Reservoir Dogs either so wasn't sure what was going on with the mixed up timeline when I finally woke up.
It shouldn't have won the Oscar, but I always liked Shakespeare. Yes, it was light-hearted and foolish at times, but it was a unique take on one of the most popular pieces of literature ever written.
I don't think I can vote against Braveheart. It's one of my all-time favorites. (My wife grew up not far from where they filmed all the battle scenes.) But if Pulp Fiction had won, I'd have a big dilemna.
Not a bad movie, but I will never forgive the academy for voting this the best picture over Goodfellas. I haven’t watched the Oscars since. True story.

Something is seriously wrong with you.
His hate for Spielberg is strong.
How can one hate Raiders of the Lost Ark?
There are four or five Spielberg movies that do it for me. Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of them.

My older sister took me to see Pulp Fiction knowing what a life-changing move it was. First time I was like "what the hell was that" and then 2nd time onwards I was just amazed. Quoted that movie with people in school the whole senior year. My high school years - best of times for movies and music. Too bad I was a complete dork. (was?)

Same. Second time I saw it, loved it. Lot's of good quotes from that movie.
Someone throw one more vote at The English Patient so it can join the other 2 and then next round won't be 25 votes for it and 3 for eliminating whatever else gets a vote.

I can’t do it yet.
That scene where the Sikh dude helps Juliette Binoche’s character rappel around with a flare to view the hidden cathedral art is one of my favorite moments in any film ever.
Thing is, I can’t remember much else about the film at all. But that scene will stick with me forever.

I remember thinking it would be the worst garbage I ever watched and I ended up liking it.
Same things with Shakespeare in Love. Could not really have much lower expectations and thought it was boring but a good movie.
Guessing I only watched both of these once, though. Just because I like a boring movie does not mean I ever want to see it again.
Also, I don't remember that scene, perhaps I will need to watch that one again, at least to see that part.
English Patient was great. A gut wrenching love story. I would recommend anyone to smoke a joint and watch that movie...it's a move where you have to pay attention to everything.

Tom Stoppard wrote Shakespeare in Love. If you can just imagine decent lead actors saying those lines, you'd have a movie I'd watch often.

I’ve never seen the English Patient. I think it was because Elaine Benes hated it so much.

If you smoked wouldn't you be worried about popcorn instead of the movie? Or maybe your next snack?

Unforgiven is a masterpiece as a Western. Yes, it is slow - as most Westerns are.
The last however many minutes of the movie when Clint has some drinks and heads back into town are among my favorite that I've seen put to film.
Absolutely amazing.
An utterly riveting 10 minutes or so, after a long tense buildup. Great movie. Probably my favorite on this list, since Pulp Fiction didn't, you know, win.
