Platoon and Gladiator are the main two that come to mind. For someone who dislikes a lot of films (at least according to other people), I'm drawing a blank.

I'm actually finding I have more in common with some here than I thought. :)  

I don't like these ones either:

2. Elephant

Others might include . .  The Searchers

Working from the top of the Filmspotters Pantheon 100 list, movies I don't like very much:

5. Magnolia

The Searchers

pixote

Inglourious Basterds


Others I dislike very much that many others seem to love:

Mystic River
Reservoir Dogs
Almost Famous
Goodfellas
Shutter Island
Kill Bill Vol. 2
25th Hour



(For the record, Mystic River (and maybe 25th Hour) is the only one of those I truly hate. All the others I can understand, I think, why people like/love.

You people can just all remind me of the stuff you love that I hate. I can't be bothered.  :P

I got too many movies to love on right now.
