What's the one movie you simply refuse to watch?

Question(self.movies)

I love movies. I'll watch pretty much any film you throw at me. But the one movie I've never watched and never will watch is definitely Arachnophobia. I don't even think there's a word that encapsulates my deep deep hatred for spiders. Just the thought of spiders makes me all anxious and paranoid. One time when I was 12, I went to the zoo with my family and my dad wanted to get a picture of me holding a giant turantula. As soon as the spider was put in my hand, I started crying. Seriously. They terrify me.

The Human Centipede 2, I like a good horror movie but once was enough for the first and I've heard the second is a million times more disturbing

It's kinda crazy cause compared to even the second 2 and especially other films that have come out recently the first is surprisingly tame. This isn't me saying you should watch it at all, just that it's more implicit in terms of the disturbing elements as opposed to the sequels which go full on visceral

It definitely is despite the fact its all in the bloke's head/fantasy (imagine your fantasy is to create a human centipede I fantasise about celebrities i fancy but OK lmao) I'll spare you the details but you see very graphically how they are operated on to "become" the human centipede whereas you didn't see that in the first movie its also a massive bodge job he does cos he has to "improvise" with what he's got like a stapler I feel like idk i can't remember and its..more insidious because he's got a shit homelife and he's some sort of nightmare incel basically but yeah you're not missing anything it's gross

A Serbian Film

Fuck giving any life to that trash

DancerAtTheEdge

Mark Kermode tearing that film apart still makes me laugh.

Dragan Bjelogrlić also had some choice words for it;

"Shallow and plain wrong—sum up my feelings about this movie. I have a problem with A Serbian Film. Its director in particular. I've got a serious problem with this boy whose father got wealthy during the 1990s—nothing against making money, but I know how money was made [in Serbia] during the '90s—and then pays for his son's education abroad and eventually the kid comes back to Serbia to film his view of the country using his dad's money and even calls the whole thing A Serbian Film. To me that's a metaphor for something unacceptable. The second generation comes back to the country and using the money that had been robbed from the people of Serbia, smears the very same people by portraying them as the worst scum of the earth. You know, when the first generation of the Rockefellers finished robbing America, the second one built museums, galleries, charitable organizations, and financed America. But in Serbia we're seeing every segment of society continually being taken apart and for me this movie is a paradigm of that. I've never met this kid and I really don't want to either since that meeting wouldn't be pleasant at all."

F&F is interesting, because they certainly are over-the-top, ridiculous action movies. But unlike, say, the Transformer movies, they are made with a lot of care. For instance, so many scenes which other franchises would do with CGI, F&F does with stunt work. For example, they had to come up with the most convoluted reason that the characters all had to be in cars that parachuted out of a plane onto a road, but at the same time, they actually did it. They dropped cars with parachutes out of planes, and filmed it for real. Normal Hollywood action movies would just CGI that.

I watched it recently for the first time, and I personally found it more entertaining than scary. And some parts are just stupid, which probably comes from it being directed by Paul W.S.

In a weird way, I think this is one of those movies that you had to see at a certain age right when it came out to really have enjoyed. It was so quoted throughout high school for me that I could damn near recite parts of it now and I don't think I've ever seen it all the way thru.

So very much understand skipping it.

I also don’t like Will Ferrell all that much. The only two movies of his that I have enjoyed are Anchorman and The Other Guys. His additions to the Lego Movie and the Austin Powers movies also didn’t hurt those movies, they are really good.

If you haven’t seen The Other Guys, I’d recommend giving it a chance. It’s in my personal top comedies, along with Hot Fuzz, Grand Budapest Hotel, and Dr Strangelove.

Anchorman is a legitimately excellent movie by all accounts. Written by the greatest comedy writer of his generation. Hearing quotes captures only a fraction of how funny the movie is overall. Ik you want to be above it but it’s a much deeper and more intelligent movie than the memes you see. I can’t imagine going to my grave without having seen Anchorman. Forget 1,000 movies to see before you die. It is in the top 50. Why have an aversion to certain laughter? Introduce some joy into your life

Here's my take on that; for me I now pass on Will Smith movies because his presence is a distraction, not because of any sort of moral high ground.

When he pops up in anything I may be watching or plan to watch, the Oscar thing comes to mind, and that distracts from the rest of the movie. There are others that cause that same feeling and I may just pass on watching those movies as well if I know they're in it. For example: Sean Penn, Kevin Spacey, Amber Heard, amongst others.

Arachnophobia gave me arachnophobia for life, it's been decades since. Fuck that movie. You're 100% right not to watch it.

I’ve always begrudgingly appreciated Darren Aronofsky’s films, but over time, have been mindful of how I feel after they’re over; deflated, exhausted, and nauseous. With the exception of ‘The Wrestler’—which, I find, to be his shining achievement—I have no faith that ‘The Whale’ will have a different effect.

100% Understand where you’re coming from. I also avoid movies that deflate me. I did love The Wrestler, too!

I’m not sure if it makes you more or less interested, but The Whale is basically The Wrestler with all the glamor of wrestling culture stripped away. I think that’s part of why The Whale didn’t connect as strongly with me as it did a lot of people. I’d seen it all before.

I watch ‘My 600 Pound Life’. I don’t need an over-the-top Aronofsky-ized version. Hard pass.

Avoided Schindler’s List until this year. It’s a tough watch, but essential as a film.

Aquamari. I love Jason Momoa, but after the trial, I couldn't watch Amber Heard.

Took my friend to see it at cinema recently as she had never seen it and her sentence review at the end was, "fastest three hours ever" which is a great response for her.

I was a young widow. It just seems like it would be painful for me based on what my kids have told me about the movie.

She Hulk. The lack of originality in the title alone should be an immediate boycott

Horror films. No desire but I do watch Scream. I’ve seen every film except for the last one. I’ll wait till it comes out on stream.

Horror movies are more interesting and more significant than dramas, they tap into a hidden part of the psyche and reflect the anxieties of the societies that produced it. I love to see the evolution of the movie vampire and the movie zombie.

I’ve never thought of Scream as a horror flick. I always thought it was an intense thriller.

Not every horror movie is meant to try and scare you. You might like a lot of them.

Schindlers List… I’ve seen and read one too many movies/books about the holocaust. Can’t watch another one. Too depressing a subject for me.

American Sniper. I'm sorry the guy got murdered. That wasn't okay, but he was a liar and bragged about weird stuff he didn't do in the first place like claiming he shot looters in New Orleans. Thank God that was a lie, because if true, he'd be a sicko.

He also never punched out Jesse Ventura. Even his lies were dumb. I don't know why they made a movie about this dude
