Bad Moments in Cinematic History

I always wanted to have Bert as my friend. I though he would be so much fun!!

okay

Mary Poppins is my favorite Disney movie. I just love the whole thing!!

Worst for me was a scene from "Dog Day Afternoon" with Pacino and John Cazale. They're in the bank and Pacino is SCREEEAMING at the cops about his demands and suddenly from the top of the shot the "G.D." boom mike drops into the scene for probably 30-45 seconds. Ruined the entire movie for me!!!
Not that it was that great in the 1st place. But it did have one of the classic lines.

Pacino: "When we get outta this you can go to any country in the world, Sal.
What country to you want to go to?"

Cazale: "Montana".

The Outsiders.......one of my favorite movies ever!!!!

Was it any good? I read that it didn't make much money.

GF has a lot of cringe-o-meter moments.

The worst moments in the GF movies usually involve the female characters. I think it's partly because the men in the movies keep their families separate from their "Families." So the women have no involvement in the business, the really interesting stuff. Plus, Diane Keaton and Talia Shire are just too shrill.

Sweet baby Jesus. You've never seen The Outsiders?

I once got the same reaction when I said I had never seen "The Breakfast Club."

OMG!!! You have not lived I tell you! My favorite line in that movie is
"The chicks, they can't hold ther' smoke, das what it is." Anthony Michael Hall while getting high. TFF.

That's because it sucked. Imagine a Tom Cruise movie, where he thinks he's all cool and every vapid line he utters is quote-worthy (read: all Tom Cruise movies). That was ALL of the characters in The Outsiders. So intense and self-important it would make you gnaw off your arm to get away.

And the way they pieced it together was just terrible. These weird cutaways and dopey lighting, strange camera angles.

At least a 9 on the cringe-o-meter. Only saved from a 10 by having so many future stars in it. Sorry Camily.

That's ok, I was in middle school (maybe 5th grade) when it came out and I didn't care about that stuff. I just thought they were all so cute. I wanted to be Cherry Valence. Plus, Nothing Gold Can Stay is still my favorite Robert Frost poem.

ANY scene with William Shatner in it..

Little known fact...

...THAT is why Pacino rubbed him out in GFII.

The ending of the series of It.

"It" turns out to be a giant spider. What a gyp.

yeah, I will give it that.. wtf was that about.

It was the infamous Steven King ending. His works are generally good until the end.

I guess.. I just think that outta all of them that pennywise should have been something else...

I must admit that the book is way better than the movie, as is usually the case.
Did you read te sequel "That Was Then, This Is Now"?

Of course! My babysitter used to pass all her books down to me, and she was a big S.E. Hinton fan.

Did you know that S.E. Hinton was Dallas' nurse when he was in the hospital after the fire? It was a very small part but she wanted to be in the movie.

See, here's the problem with The Outsiders movie:

I was 20, a wife and mother, when that movie came out. So I wasn't into salivating over the Brat Pack. Other than seeing how Leif Garrett was holding up, the only time I really paid attention was when Buck Merrill (Tom Waits) made his brief appearance.
