Movies you will never see

You have to be kidding right? What Disney films did you see that put you off them so much that you wouldn’t want to see these ones? I\'ve got to say that there is no film out there that I won\'t consider watching. I think that flat out refusing to watch certain films is a sure fire way of missing out on potentially brilliant, but not initially appealing films and also seriously narrows your movie going experience and knowledge. Sure you may see a few stinkers along the way, but you get those nice shocks too where something you were dreading seeing turns out to be great.
If the question was \'what films have you seen that you would rather crawl along naked on broken glass than see again?\' I\'d have a good long list of course, but I’d be happy in the knowledge that at least I got to rip it out of something that I am suitably informed about!

Raindrops on roses and whisker on kittens...
I think I\'ll consider seeing most movies.. I like positive surprises as well. Those are often the best.
@Ritual: Battlefield earth.. hm.. I\'ve seen it 3 times, even own the flick. You know.. you have to realise when a movie goes beyond a certain point.. it actually starts getting enjoyable again. More in the point and laugh kind of way.. but still! Especially considering it was based on a novel by Ron L. Hubbard.. somehow fooled (it got to have been some kind of misundertanding somewhere) into production by Travolta.. it\'s the stuff of legends!!
Brokeback mountain. lol I was so disappointed.. I thought I would be at least moderatly shocked by anything in the film from the fuzz.. but no. It was just a great but sad love movie imo.. might see it again later. But the best part of the film is all the old cowboy quotes that it has cast a shadow of doubt upon.
I have three movies from the top of my head that I won\'t see again:
1. Stealth Fighter - leading actor Ice-T.. hm. well basically it sucks so bad it\'s not funny.
2. Knights - I\'ve seen many other really really really.. really bad movies from this director, but somehow.. they are so bad that they are kind of enjoyable, like the Nemesis series for example. But the difference is... well first of all they had an ending which this one didn\'t. Hmm.. But.. when I think of it I might want to see it again just to see if it\'s as bad as I remember it
3. Police Academy: Mission Moscow I really like the series I saw them all several times when I was a kid.. I remember I was kind of looking forward to this movie but when I saw it.. it wasn\'t the same. It was like it wasn\'t a part of the same series. I was so disappointed.. I\'ve seen it once more since then.. and I refuse to see it again. It\'s a disgrace..
@lono I agree about Disney. Aladdin is even one of my favourite animated mocies. And finding Nemo was good as well..
Do tell us which movies you won\'t see again

I think there\'s a special dispensation for any movie your kids love. I have seven and five year old girls, and Barbie movies are like chocolate crack to them. I have watched each one of them with my girls at one point or another just as part of being \"Daddy.\"
When they get to be teenagers they can enjoy their teen-angst filled dramas without me., but for now.....

PFFT!!! I like the cgi disney flicks!
Madagascar? Monkeys obssesed with throwing crap and conspiracy type penguins???? Finding Nemo? The clean freak prawn and the aussie crabs???
OH GOD! Give me more...?
I was woken from my slumber and thrown into a car with a hessian sack on my head. When it ws removed I was in a cinema with the film cirtificate for \"Titanic\" on screen...
I think this is where my distrust of women originated...But hey! Hooray for boobies huh??!

Well Ok, a few ones that are somewhat controversial are called for here I suppose rather than just putting down The Sound of Music, and I would watch that again actually. I think I must have passed the age where musicals bring me out in instant revulsion.
Forest Gump - I actually had a feeling of sickness in my stomach the whole time I was watching it. It is so blatant, so obvious, so painfully over the top feel-good. There is no skill in hammering the \'This man has overcome adversity\' nail into someone\'s head for a few hours.
The Sixth Sense (and other assorted Shamlyn efforts) – The problem here is that these films are all about the twist and unlike The Usual Suspects or Fight Club have nothing else going for them. Once you know it (and you are most likely going to work it out because you know it is coming) there is nothing else there. Sure Haley Joel Osmend showed he can act a bit, but other than that the entire movie is just hollow build up to the rather obvious big reveal.
Silent Hill – The most recent utterly disappointing film I can recall. Laughably bad acting and dialogue and a clear case of sticking waaay to close to the source material and forgetting that you are supposed to be making a film. So much potential too. Pyramid head could have been terrifying if they had built up to him but instead they shoot the ‘scare’ load prematurely by revealing him completely almost straight away.
And yeah, I know I’m a miserable old critic.

Damn Bratz the movie................any other toy spin off...
The terminal..I had it bought for me when it first came out and it\'s still in the wrapper.
Castaway...............Philladelphia......mmmmdetect a Tom Hanks theme here......
Any film that spends more on it\'s advertising campaign than it\'s acting budget....
and anything further than 3 in a series.....

Ok I have seen Titanic and Brokeback mountain and enjoyed both movies. Also they both had nice titty scenes (Anne Hathaway and Kate Winslet...MMMMM).
I loved the Sound of Music and most Disney movies where fun.
As for movies I will not see...even if you pay me, blow me or save my soul.
Fast and the Furious (all 3)
Jackass (1&2)
Passion of the Crist (sorry I already know how my Savior died for my sins...I thank him for it but I feel I don\'t need to see it).
8 Mile or any movie with a Rapper in it

NEVER, NEVER!!!
Any movies released in the future starring Tom Cruise. I really think he sux! I still regret seeing The War Of The Worlds. Utter Shite!!
I\'ve got to agree with not EVER bothering to see Passion Of Christ. My brother said it was poxy.
Apart from avoiding Ben Affleck and Tom Cruise films like the plague I\'ll be pretty cool with watching any old flick.
Cheers!

That\'s not very funny..
They were sick murderers, and Karla Homolka is home-free now. She drugged her own sister so her husband could rape her and kill her.

Passion of the Crist (sorry I already know how my Savior died for my sins...I thank him for it but I feel I don\'t need to see it). I wish I could put this on my list, but unfortunately I have already seen it. How many times do we need to see Christ fall in slow motion under the weight of the cross?
8 Mile or any movie with a Rapper in it I agree to an extent... When the rapper has a prominent role I tend to avoid it, but now and then a rapper appears in small roles in otherwise great films and I don\'t let that keep me from seeing them. Example: P Diddy (or whatever he\'s called nowadays) has a small role in Monsters Ball and I can\'t say his acting blew me away, but the film is great nonetheless and I would have missed out on something if I had refused to see it because Puffy was in it.
