- Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain (2001)~This is one of those movies where you either love it or hate it. I choose the second option (although after a second viewing I guess it's not that bad, but still not as great as everyone says)
- The Godfather Part II (1974)~I found it to start dragging and the plot wasn't nearly as interesting as the first one. This could be because I'm a Sonny Corleone fan but I found the characters in this film to be rather boring. It was a good attempt but didn't suceed in making me like it.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)~I liked the other movies in the trilogy but this one seemed rather boring. Kindof like a never-ending prologue. I don't know, the other ones just seemed to be more interesting and extravagent, which is lacking in this first film.
- Saving Private Ryan (1998)~My least favorite film on the planet. Everyone says such good things about this movie but after seeing it I found it to be so boring and pointless. I found all the characters unlikeable and basically just stereotypes and didn't feel attached enough to them to care what happened. And any scene with Private Ryan made me want to just hurl a rock at that selfish kid.
I couldn't sit through the first LOTR movie. I LOVED the book though. Go figure.
