Forrest Gump has been on TV lately (and i saw it mentioned elsewhere online today). i loathe that film, and it won an Academy Award for Best Picture. i decided to see what other best picture winners (that i've seen) are hours of my life that i will never get back.

Forrest Gump
Titanic
You Can't Take It With You

i'm aware that lots of people disagree with me on these. (certainly the academy did.) the full list is here. anyone else have a best picture or a few that they can't stand?

Forrest Gump has been on my most hated list for years. I hated it.

I wasn't wildly fond of Gladiator, and thought that there was about an hour and half two much Braveheart. Broadway Melody hasn't aged well. I haven't seen Titanic, Kramer vs. Kramer, or Gone With the Wind out of a certainty that I'll dislike them. I also think Ben Hur and Olivier's Hamlet are painfully overrated. This may be them aging poorly also, I couldn't say.

i remember an entire college theatre class bursting into gales of laughter at the "to be DUN DUN DUN or not to be" - we had been comparing various productions and as an isolated clip lined up against several other productions it was particularly bad.
