Donnie Darko, film created for depressed high school rejects who think anything cryptic is deep. I despise this movie and its lack of anything resembling substance with all of my being.

Back when I was in high school (all of 3 months ago  ), lots of people loved that movie and praised it as a masterpiece. Now I think of those who said that and I see what you mean.

I'm certainly not a depressed high-school reject and I happen to like the film.

No, I finished University about 3 or more years ago and I saw the film about a year or so ago, so definitely not! Plus I was never a reject!

May I ask what you like? The terrible acting, the incoherent story line, the cliché ending?
My favorite line from the movie:
Donnie: "Why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit"
Whatever the bunny's name is: "Why are you wearing that stupid human suit"
Wow, thats deep and full of hidden meanings. Gnomic=philosophical right?

I shall tell you a movie I didn't like: Saw
Awful acting throughout. I've not seen the sequel, but apparently it's better.
I've only seen Donnie Darko the once, so I need to really see it again to enable me to analyze it better. I didn't say I loved the film, just enjoyed it.

I forgot to mention Saw. I thought the idea of a killer torturing victims to show them the value of life was one of the freshest ideas in a horror film, and I thought that concept would be explored thoroughly. But of course the movie's main focus was blood and bad acting. Really a shame because of the potential of that idea.

Yes, the idea had potential, but it was poorly executed and the acting was indeed rather terrible. It was a low budget movie though apparently and one of the actors was one of the writers, so he wasn't an actor. I thought it was rather appalling.

To bother to hate a movie, I've had to have some kind of expectations
for it to be good, so that leaves out Critters 3, Police Academy and
Ninja Turtles etc..Here's my top ten list of overrated stinkers:
1. Life is Beautiful
2. Rekviem For a Dream
3. Magnolia
4. The Double Life of Veronique
5. Blue (Kieslovski)
6. Cinema Paradiso
7. Breathless (Godard)
8. Narnia
9. Eyes Wide Shut
10.Everyone Says I Love You

Plan nine from Outerspace has been considered by movies critics to be flat out worst movie ever made in cinema history, while the late Ed Wood the director of it was awarded the worst movie director of all time. I'll tell you something its pretty abysmil.

Im not a movie buff, and i have trouble remembering the last time i entered a movie cinema (Alzheimers?????), however, some that really annoyed me were:
Queen of the Damned (I only saw the end cause I didnt mind the soundtrack)
Eyes wide shut
That medieval movie with Heath Ledger in it (y would i want 2 remember the name)
Charlies angels 2 (the first one is pretty shocking too)
The first Fast and Furious (havent seen the 2nd movie - I must be blessed)
Blade
The Howling
Geepers Creepers (I heard the 2nd one is worse)
To Rocktopus: Remind me not to go to a cinema show with u... Life is Beautiful and Requeum for a Dream are two of my fave movies.... Oh Well..

Yeah there are some funny parts like the UFOs flying around and the Chiropractor pretending to be the late Bela Lagusi, and then the film clips of old wars movies etc. Its so lousy how did Ed Wood convince himself he could pull it off, he never learned from his mistakes, but as some people have said so bad its good.
Have any of you guys seen the movie Ed Wood with Johnny Depp playing Wood?
