Dullest Film Ever

okay not going to go through eight pages but has anyone mentioned warhol's 'sleep' & 'kitchen'?

Plus in terms of visual stimulus then surely derek jarman's 'blue' takes the biscuit?
 
Lord of the Rings (the first one) or Charlie and the chocolate factory or Looney Toons Back in Action!

<Waits for opposition!>

Looks like a candidate for the shortest-lived Urban poster ever...

What was that one came out a couple of years back Beau Travail, I think it was called. Some kind of modern day "take" on Beau Geste (obviously). French art-house stuff, fucking rave reviews in Time Out and the broadsheets - harped on about the "homoerotic" cinematography at some length. To the extent that, when me and the missus went to see it at the Rio, the demographics of the audience were quite considerably affected.

Twenty minutes in, me and missus were pissing ourselves at the pretence - and the fact that every one else could sit there straight faced. Never seen so much denim in a fluster in one place. :D

Angel Heart - I've tried to watch it at least four times and fallen asleep every single time. Gave up trying in about 1990 mind.

What are you on about? Angel Heart's one of the greatest films about the devil ever.
 
Has anyone mentioned that Bunuel film about Simon Stylites

not much happens when you spend your life on a pillar
 
I think I would have found 2001 A Space Odyssey incredibly boring too, if I hadn't just done an enormous bottle beforehand and been off my head.

I stopped watching Nine Songs about a quarter of the way through and read my book instead. Boring sex, boring characters, boring music. What a waste of time and energy for all concerned.
 
Worst films

Come on people, why hasn't tommy, the he man films, flash gordon, vin diesel (in anything), day after tomorrow, some of roger moore's bond films etc made it into this list.
The only way you can say you don't like a film is if you avoid it like the plague. The phantom menace will grow on naysayers as will the matrix sequels, which are more in keeping with great endings but not what was expected.

Innit? If you want to see people fucking and want to listen to music, put some proper porn on mute and listen to the stereo...

We're talking about the most boring films not the worst. Roger Moore's Bond films may be, in your opinion, cack, but they're certainly not boring.
And Flash Gordon is ace (and never boring)

fo' sho' :cool:

nothing with that dum-dum-dum-dum-dum theme music could ever be boring!

'Flash! I love you, but we have only 14 hours to save the earth!'
'Gordon's alive!'
'Oh well, do want to live forever? Hawkmen! Dive!'
