6. Moon terminally boring

This made me sad more then anything else.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

4. Heat lots of SHOUTING and not a lot else
There isn't much shouting in that one.  Just a handful pf instances that are terrible, but then again maybe that equals lots to you  :)
Ta  :)
Maybe a little bit of SHOUTING and not a lot else then
I see in it masterful cinematography and portrayals of Hawskian professionalism and group dynamics, love life being at the mercy of one's profession, personal codes, urge, loneliness, and crime in the context of class (specifically in the case of Dennis Haybert's character).
That told me  ;)  :D

1. The Original Star Wars Trilogy - A boring franchise with outdated FX, horrendous scripts and stories, terrible performances, and just all around boring.
2. The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy - Another boring trilogy that is overly long with plot holes you can easily spot that would completely discount most of the story from happening.
3. The Matrix - An overstuffed CGI fest that completely turned me off.
4. The Seven Samurai - A film that would be great had it been an hour shorter and more tamed, realistic performances.
5. The Sixth Sense - A drull, lifeless (pardon the pun) film that totally relies on its out of left field ending for the film, and the ending, for me, does not work.
6. Superbad - Just because you are crude does not mean you are funny.
7. Slumdog Millionaire - A cliche ridden story where its formula gets really annoying after 20 minutes, plus a completely stupid and unnecessary ending.
8. No Country For Old Men - Yawn.
9. Alien - See above comment.
10. Gladiator - Why are they British? And why are they yelling so much? And why do I care? Oh, I don't.

1. The Original Star Wars Trilogy - outdated FX

Does this really factor into it though? You like 2001 and Ghostbusters... their effects are just as outdated.

The effects in 2001 aren't thaaaat dated. They don't look like modern effects, but they still hold up really well. As do the majority of the effects in Star Wars. Ghostbusters is definitely hit or miss.

I completely disagree with that 2001 statement. As for Ghostbusters, I think the FX still work in the context of the film.
