Absolutely one of the BEST movies ever.

The reaction is usually split down the middle. Either you love it or you hate it. I'm squarely in the hate it camp, but I realize that many people love Forrest Gump.

The thought of Forrest Gump winning the best movie Oscar over The Shawshank Redemption still makes me angry.

As always on the Internet, YMMV. Enjoy!   

These come to mind instantly:

All movies with Sylvester Stallone
All romantic comedies
The Matrix and all its dreadful follow ups

Making a good movie is very hard

I was about to agree with you, then I remembered one he made a few years back with Harvey Keitel - Copland; only saw it once, but I remember being quite shocked that he can actually act. Well worth a look.
    

Add "Little Man" to the list, saw it yesterday (with all knowledge of it being terrible, we were bored, so we decided to see the worst movie we could find) but we weren't expecting that bad...yeesh

I can't say what is bestever and what isn't. Forrest Gump bored me to death. I prefer "Millions".

Every remake, except for John Carpenter's "The Thing". And that's about what I can remember right now. I'm not into mainstream movies, those I quoted are the result of having friends with no love for major Art. Most of the times, I have to go alone in order to catch movies that do interest me. Fortunately enouhg, my girlfriend is sensitive and a book lover.

I quite liked The League of Extraordinary Gentleman.  Not amazing, true, but it wasn't awful either.  But then again, I've never read any of the comics.

Jim: how about "Escape To Victory" or whetever it's called... the one where Sly Stallone is in a "soccer" team with Pele and others... now that isn't a bad film at all.

¿Really? First of all; lets go to technicall stuff: ¿how about a huge submarine sailing by the water streets of Venecia?. Also; that invisible man that sometimes is a computer Render, and then is a guy with floor in the face that has to shave, but there was not enough money to buy the propoer device. Then, the Nautilus inside: it was the house of someone, I'm sure about that. Perhaps one of those "Bed and Breakfast" places. The story: all those caracters togheter , (I know, it is based on a Comic book; now I know I won't ever read it); the artistic touch of conceptual representation of a vynil image as an old movie; the great ending, with the hand of Sean Connery comming out from below the ground (¿WHY, WHY?); the villain that has to take over the something just because; never shown in the whole movie as bad guy, so there is no way to perceive him as a villain. As long as I remember; the whole movie is based into moving people from one place to the other. And don't even get me started on the photoelectric cells that were supposed to be Nautilus's source of power... I want half of one of those solar power cells; I won't pay for electricity for life with just half. Horrendous. All the money went straight to the renders; and for nothing. Just think about the transformation Jekyll/Hyde; the actor shaking from one make up stage to the other. Normally, I grant poetic license to people like Woody Allen (wonderfull ending in "Shadows and Fog", and with nothing but great imagination) or Fellini, since they know what are they doing and how they want to. In this case, I see right through the lack of budget. (They couldn't even pay for a good writter).

James, please, please, please tell me you're using irony here

I got a free copy of League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen from my employers... I sold it to Blockbusters the next day: appalling, absolutely appalling.

Similarly, I bought the movie of the TV series 'The League Of Gentlemen' (I'm a huge fan of the TV series - not to everyone's taste, I know, but...) and took it back the next day saying it was an unwanted present - terrible, utterly terrible.
