Have you watched it recently? I don't honestly think it holds up that well. I re-watched it last year and liked it a lot less than I thought I did.

Batman 89 would be my personal favorite, and I felt Nickloson was the best joker.

I can only imagine how terrible batman forever and batman and robin are now.
But I did think Grandma's Boy was pretty terrible.
When I saw the thread title, I instantly thought of the LOTR trilogy. The only positive thing I'll say about the LOTR trilogy is that I think the art department deserved the oscar(s) they won. I also thought the casting was good, but the Hollywood'y-fied DRAMA-AT-EVERY-TURN, plus the "we must have a bigger female presence in order to draw couples in to the cinema so we'll come up with this horrible cliche plot of Elrond not wanting Aragorn to be with his daughter" was retch-worthy.
Others have already mentioned steaming dumps like Prometheus and DKR.
I watched Batman Forever again in the last few years, not long after watching the better films (Batman, Begins, Dark Knight). Batman Forever really is awful. B&R is in a league of its own of course. There's a bit in Forever I'll never forget: Bruce Wayne is visiting Dr Chase Meridian for some reason; she's in her office I think. The doors to her office are closed, and they're these very tall doors, quite solid and expensive-looking. Wayne hears some kind of scuffle inside (because she's working out in her office, as you do), and breaks through the doors. The doors actually come off their hinges like he's Superman in disguise.
Hmm, I just remembered another bit, absolutely freaking hilarious, was he hanging from the ceiling in wait?:

Stuff like batnipples are fun though: How many meetings or memos were there that exclusively focused on batnipples?Don't forget the nipples on the bat suit and all the neon colors, too many things in those movies to list... Just awful

My biggest one is probably Blade Runner.

As far as Elrond not wanting Arwen to marry Aragorn, that was definitely part of the stroy, though you get more of that in the appendices at the end of book 3. Elrond told Aragorn that he couldn't marry Arwen unless he won both kingdoms. The books also state that the final parting between Arwen and Elrond was grievous. So I don't have a huge problem in showing part of the love story between Aragorn and Arwen as it was a part of the story.
There were really only 3 things that bugged me about the LOTR movies:
- Aragorn's self-doubt and reluctance to be king. He had virtually none of that in the books. But I understand some artistic license in this regard.
- The portrayal of Faramir in Ithilean. In the books he was the most noble (human) character next to Aragorn.
- The standoff between Gandalf and the Witch King. There was no standoff due to the arrival or Rahan in the books, but the impression was that that standoff would have been epic as Gandalf was no man. His staff being broken was just for pure DRAMA.
I must have repressed that scene. The one just like it is that silly battle between Saruman and Gandalf. Dear screenplay writers, please read how the wizards used magic in the books (in short, they don't. The wizards are more like far wiser, learned, intelligent people than the rest of the general populace). The only time that they got it right was with Saruman's explosive concoction used in Helm's Deep, IMO, and the way the screenplay writers portrayed it was actually their own idea AFAIK. The time that pissed me off the most was the cringe-worthy exorcism scene in Rohan.
Blade Runner is boring and overrated, like almost anything film noir. But I don't hate it.
The movie I hate that seemingly everyone loves is National Treasure. It is basically The Davinci Code for ethnocentric morons. Drives me nuts.
My biggest one is probably Blade Runner. I have no idea where all the praise comes from. I saw it for the first time a few years ago and I didn't like a single thing about it.
