Unwatchable movies

I could not stand "Fight Club". Had to turn it off after 15 minutes. My girlfriend tried to get me to watch "Little Women" with her and I fell asleep. There was a movie with Haley Joel Osmet and Jude Law called "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" that I thought was really weird and really long. There's not too many I turn off because I just order the one's I want to see from Netflix.
 
Kentucky Fried Movie. A friend of mine thinks it's the best movie ever, but it totally fails to hold my interest.
...

Oh, come on... you don't think "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" is hilarious?

Isn't Ed Wood supposed to be terrible?

Any Ed Wood movie, yes. The movie "Ed Wood," on the other hand, is very good IMO. Martin Landau's Bela Lugosi is outstanding.

As far as as an "unwatchable" movie... back in the 80s, my GF forced me to go see a movie called "Perfect" about a Rolling Stone reporter (John Travolta) tasked with writing an undercover expose intended to "blow the lid off of the cutthroat world of professional aerobics instruction." That 90 minutes was the worst week I ever spent in a movie theater.
 
I've never actually finished Scott Pilgrim. Other activities have ended that movie early every time. I'm beginning to think it's magic or something.

I left the theater during Paranormal Activity 2. It was terrible. Other than that, I can't think of anything that's gotten much worse than a "meh" from me. Most of the time, I just turn the channel or find something else to do if a movie isn't to my liking.
