I know a lot of movies are just atrociously made / acted / whatever, but those don't bother me as much as movies that a lot of people actually seem to like, even though they have nothing to offer. Thirteen was god-awful. Forrest Gump is retarded (pun intended). My "friends" dragged me to see The Last Kiss a few months ago, and that was terrible, as expected. But pretty much anything that involves that one guy is always going to be terrible. Those same friends of mine also speak very highly of Donnie Darko and Amelie, and I'm not exactly fond of either movie. Neither movie is badly made. Amelie is actually well-made, but I didn't feel any differently during or after the movie, I just really wanted it to be over, and when it was, I was left wondering what all the fuss was about. It's a very, I don't know, cute sort of movie, and I don't work well with cute unless it's in the form of Milo & Otis. I know it's probably not right to lump any of these movies in with Manos: Hands of Fate, but overrated movies bother me much more than any other sort of movie.

But the worst movie I've ever seen has probably been The United States of Leland. Some girl in my art class recommended it, and it was just stupid. Painfully so. I really can't get over how stupid it was.
