There have also been a few that I haven't been able to finish...

Anastasia: It's an animated musical about the Russian Revolution, in which Rasputin is an immortal wizard brought back from the dead by his sidekick, a talking bat. I gave it 30 minutes and then stopped.
Elektra: Predictable, formulaic, melodramatic crap.
Eraser: It felt like a spoof by Charlie Brooker, but without being funny or entertaining.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding: For a comedy it's severly lacking in jokes. Or human characters.
Oliver!: It's just in appalling taste. I lasted 25 minutes.
Nine: Superficial and inconsequential with stagy numbers and dull music. I gave this one a full hour.
Pearl Harbour: Absurdly po-faced, laughably inane and just unbelievably terrible.
Public Enemies: Boring. I left after 50 minutes.

Say Anything...: A poor quality recording, but it's also unfunny, directionless, sub-Hughes noodling. 45 minutes.
