Apparently, the movies my husband most hates to see are any of them that star
Johnny Depp. Whether he is a dashing and ill-fated
pirate, a mysterious candymaker, the cartoon groom of a corpse bride, a
gun-toting gangster or a colorful mad-hatter (obviously the list goes on),
there's no way to hide that voice and charm, which makes me "swoon" regardless
the character or story line. So there are my personal guy/girl movies that drive
us crazy. From Ryan Mainhardt:
Two words: Hugh Grant
He's whiny, neurotic (and not in the funny Woody Allen way), he always gets the girl, and he's
British (okay, that's not a negative, I'm just saying ...). I can understand a
little why women are drawn to his sensitive, underdog character, but come on, he
is the same p---y in every movie! "Notting Hill" is the stinker that immediately comes to
mind, but also "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (a film I actually liked when his
trademark persona was fresh), "Nine Months," "Sense and Sensibility" and "Two Weeks Notice," a film which also stars Sandra Bullock in one of her numerous craptastic
roles. He's at his best when he's a total d--k ("About a Boy," "Bridget Jones's Diary"), which is not often enough. And who
cheats on Elizabeth Hurley anyway? What's the deal with that?
I'm still mad about that, even though it was like 10 years ago. From Pam Lawson:

From Naomi Sena:
The Three
Stooges. Need I say more?
ANYTHING
with Steven Seagal. He runs like a girl. ;) "Pulp Fiction" and related movies where violence is supposed to
be exceedingly funny – not a girl thing. We are laughing tonight at a dramatic
early moment in our (now-married, with two lovely children, 10-plus-years)
relationship when this film caused such a spark that the aforementioned babies
might never have been made ...
Normally, I
love the Coen brothers, but "The Big Lebowski"? Seriously? The Dude is strictly for the
dudes. "Dirty Dancing"! Haven't met a woman yet that doesn't love this
movie, across all racial and socio-economic lines. I'm totally baffled on this
one. As a
female, for me anything starring Will Ferrell (exception being "Elf") is out. There was no worse movie made than "Talladega Nights" (oh wait! "Land of the Lost" could top that), yet my husband and sons
laugh hysterically at the mention of "Baby Jesus." His particular brand of
comedy is at best trite, juvenile and predictable, which is why, I suppose, most
males find it so laughable.
I really
like your list, and I agree with pretty much every point on it, but I feel there
is one GIANT omission from the women's obsessions that men don't get.
"Transformers." I don't get it. I would rather play with the toy
Transformers than watch this movie. I'd like to
mention one of the first big gender-dividers: "The Bridges of Madison County." The demographic with the deepest
appreciation will be women married more than 10 years. We dragged our guys to
this. And it still to this day will cause sad, sidelong glances and misty eyes
from all my girlfriends. We all get this movie. Guys hate it. Any movie
with Jennifer Aniston or Meg Ryan!!! The one guy
movie that always baffles me, though, is "Caddyshack." That is the dumbest movie ever! "Caddyshack." Every man I know can quote at least 10 "classic" lines
from this supposedly comic movie. Some don't even bother quoting and will recite
the entire movie and giggle at the "funny" parts. At best, this movie is mildly
amusing, and I don't think it deserves the homage that men give it.

From Steve Carroll:
Easy:
Thomas Magnum going back into the Navy.
It was not
really a finale, but more of a cliffhanger the network did not bite on.
