Most Boring Movie?

Roma.

Acclaim? Troy? Avatar? Eat Pray Love?

The list is random. The selection doesn't even fit the criteria. Acclaimed by whom? Rex Reed?

I'm pretty much alone in this but I thought The Dark Knight was boring as hell. I was checking my watch the whole time

Titanic

The last movie i fell asleep during (at the theater) was The Nutcracker. Snooze fest.

Brad Pitt seems overrepresented here.

The English Patient was so funny in parts, when he carried her and the dress was billowing behind her. I just thought, "don't snag".

I didn’t see any in the OP’s list because they all looked boring to me.

Any Star Wars movie that wasn't part of the Original Trilogy or The Last Jedi.

Manchester by the Sea

R10 I liked Manchester by the Sea

Boyhood was really good for the first 30-45 minutes. I thought it was almost over. Nope, two hours left.

IIRC, My Blue Valentine was also a snooze-fest.

Marriage Story

I couldn’t get through more than 20 minutes of Power of the Dog.

I loved Boyhood.

Drive My Car literally put me to sleep.

Lawrence of Arabia

Yes, such a longggg movie, my father watched it when VHS came on the scene. I left the room.

Last Year at Marienbad wins hands down.

Power of the dog should be nominated (except for the nude lake scene with hottie BC which almost made it worth it)

I liked Manchester by the Sea, too. I hadn't been to a movie theatre since opening day of Brokeback Mountain, and the Casey Affleck movie got me back in the habit. I saw it twice, I liked it so much.

From your list, most of which I haven't seen, The English Patient wins. I fell asleep during it, waking up as Ralph Fiennes (and some woman?) walked out of a cave.

The Shining

😂 Damn OP you really picked some snoozers. I’m falling asleep just reading the titles in that poll.

I'm surprised English Patient is losing (winning?). At least it had some scenary and atmosphere during some scenes. Fucking Boyhood would just not end. The director is probably planning the sequel where we get to watch the next 30 boring years of the kid's life for 12 hours.

Papillon

The Lost Daughter

What was the point of that movie? It's definitely great if you want to be fast asleep within 10 minutes.

^^What r26 said.

All that movie taught me is that Dakota Johnson can look prettier with darker hair.

Moonlight. Only got through half of it. Same with Boyhood.

Motherless Brooklyn

You forgot the Bridges of Madison County.

I love Bridges of Madison County and, honestly, I don't know why. It's a heterofest and stars two people I'm not particularly fond of and from a really bad book but there's something about it. Maybe I just wanted to be a National Geographic photographer or something.

Saving Private Ryan

OP must not be a Star Wars fan, Attack of the Clones is by far the most boring episode of Star Wars!

NIGHTMARE ALLEY with Bradley Cooper OWNS this thread.

The Road.

We're going to have to go with Meet Joe Black.

Zodiac. Swear to God it put me to sleep twice before I could finally finish it (kept watching at night after work). Felt like the fucking movie was 6 hours long.

Tess was excruciatingly boring. We left at intermission. Did Roman Polanski really think anyone would stay for the second half of that snore fest?

Dune, because I hadn’t read the book and had no idea what was going on.

Tess and Zodiac are two of my favourite films of all time. Completely engrossing with great cinematography.

Borehood was a dull experiment. The only thing worth seeing is Patricia Arquette's Oscar-winning performance.

Zodiac I've seen at least 3 times. But I'm very interested in serial killer/true life crime. Plus it was a stellar cast. The guy who played the suspected killer was fucking creepy as hell and pulled it off quite convincingly.

R42 John Carroll Lynch. He was also Frances McDormand's husband in Fargo. Now I believe he is a Ryan Murphy regular.

Lincoln. It should have been amazing.

Hitchcock's Vertigo. I was on the phone throughout the whole movie and still didn't feel stimulated until I shut the movie off.

Love John Carroll Lynch

I haven't seen a single one on OP's list.

Considering all the Brad Pitt movies on OP’s list, I’m surprised “Tree of Life” wasn’t included. That is without a doubt one of the most fucking boring movies I’ve ever seen.

AI , Artificial Intelligence was the most excruciating movie I've ever sat through. The ending just went on forever. Of course, it was Spielberg finishing Stanley Kubrick's film, which comes as no surprise, since Kubrick was notorious for this. His "Shining" had a couple good scenes, but most of it was boring and excessive.

NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING can top “A Ghost Story”.

Some scenes were still for so long I thought I had accidentally paused the movie.

There are so many long shots that are ridiculous. 5 minutes of Rooney Mara dragging luggage into her house, there’s another 5 minutes of her and Casey Affleck falling asleep.

And her eating the fucking pie oh my god.

Speaking of Kubrick.....Eyes Wide Shut

Never even heard of A Ghost Story. Then again, not really a Rooney Mara fan, or Casey Affleck for that matter.

The best thing my friend could say about The Tree of Life r48 is that by the end of the movie, she wanted to hang herself from the Tree of Life

Ghost Story and Tree of Life are movies for grown-ups.

Inception.

I’m Thinking of Ending Things with ugly sour-smelling Jesse Plemons. Worst movie I have ever suffered through in my entire life.

R53 Yeah I definitely was not mature enough for “A Ghost Story”.

I guess what you were supposed to do is project yourself on to Casey Affleck’s character and make a story up in your own head of what’s going on because I don’t think there’s dialogue in the movie after the first 10 minutes.

I didn’t care about him so maybe that’s why I didn’t do it and was waiting for something to happen instead.

The Eternals.

I think this won't be a popular opinion, but I thought The Thin Red Line was a real snoozefest. I thought it had ended twice before it really did. And I like long movies. I think The English Patient was very good and doesn't deserve it's status as a punchline. We just got done watching Out Of Africa. Beautiful movie.

A Serbian Tale.

BOR-ing!

I fell asleep during The Usual Suspects, Apollo 13 and Glitter.

I had to sit through some boring movies in the theater with dates/boyfriends: Super 8, Atomic Blonde, Straw Dogs remake, Cabin in the Woods, The Omen remake.

Dances with Wolves! Horrid.

R49 It is grueling, couldn't stand the first or second acts, but the 10 minutes after Jude Law exits and the boy robot gets trapped under the collapsed Ferris wheel are beautiful, IMO. He doesn't realize his fate, just him pleading to the "Blue Fairy" (just a piece of concrete and plaster) for eternity, pleading to become a real boy, a lovable boy. Beautifully sad.

I've only seen A.I. once and I remember bawling my eyes out at the end. I mean, really ugly crying. I guess I just really related to being left behind by everyone. Never watched it since.

Any movie without Lady Gaga
