Dullest Film Ever
- Thread starter Orang Utan
- Start date
Onegin. Based on a poem by Pushkin, starring Ralph Fiennes, who my ex-wife had a thing for. Martin Donovan gets a couple of lines towards the very end, and there's a nice scene of ice-skating in St Petersburg, but making St Petersburg look pretty in a film is a bit like writing your name correctly at the top of an exam paper.
(My girlfriend, over my shoulder, is busy chiming in with Sunshine and Time Regained, both of which also star Ralph Fiennes, and both of which are also listworthy. And the English Patient, and I'm with her on that -- tis tosh. She's also just admitted to watching part of Sex Lives of the Potato Men so I think I'll end this post here.)

Anything by Oliver Stone gets my vote as dullest film. Today.Orang Utan said:

My mum dragged me to see that cos she likes japanese related stuff and I sat there texting people and looking in the dark. Its like 'Oh look, Tom Cruise nearly dies for the 45th time but miraculously, surrounded by 500 dead bodies, he's alive. He must be amazing(!)'
Fuck off America with your stupid 'movies' (its films in the country thank you very much) and your rehashed romantic comedies and action hero shite

Whats so good about "Grosse Point Blank" then? I found it an extremely average and difficult film to watch. We hired it out expecting it to be a great film, but it was dull, soppy and extremely patronising. I found Minnie Driver's character annoying and Dan Ackroyd was hardly in it*.
*But judging by your patronising nature, you would'nt understand that, would you?

Richard White should avoid films with great dialogue if he didn't like GPB

I have a habit of falling asleep in fronty of most films ( I've even fallen asleep watchhing The Cannonball Run ) so I don't think a dull film is one that sends you to sleep .
But from all the films I've ver watched the most mind numbingly boring one has to be ...
... Kill Bill volume 2
Big pile of steming shite that was

They are both steaming piles of shit , the difference is volume 1 actually has stuff happening that is vaguely exciting ( blood spurting about etc. )

And can I also mention Bladerunner? How many times have I fallen asleep during that borefest? Why anyone thinks it's good, I have no idea.

I agree with Gladiator - tried three times, never made it through the first fight scene.
Tarkovsky's MASTERPIECE Solaris isnt boring....just hypnotic!
(Havn't seen the clooney one though - that would be blasphemy!)

Oh and there is the one with just filming of the world and the challenger disaster all set to music by minimalist new york composer Phillip Glass.

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
warhol's 'chelsea girls' was boring as fuck (6 hours split over two screens, running concurrently), but the whole experience of watching it was leavened by liberal amounts of absinth and a comfy sofa on the stage in front of one of the screens. vive le cube 
only film i've fallen asleep out of boredom at the cinema was 'independence day'. but i did get some coochie coo action and snogs as well, so swings and roundabouts.

Supposedly Warhol said (I'll paraphrase) that he thought cinemas were too quiet and people should interact more. So he made a series of the dullest "films" in the world in order to provoke people to have conversations in the cinema! Like "Sleep" - a film of someone sleeping. BW/Silent/5 Hrs 21 Mins! (cut from 8hrs)

(pedants note: Most of the Warhol movies are actually directed by a guy called Paul Morrissey, Warhols right hand man. Morrissey's films have slightly more going on in them!)

I saw it at home, and fell asleep to that film. Ended up watching the 2nd half (which was a waste of time) the following day. Overhyped, because of its sFX.red rose said:
