The ones where serious men, and women in catsuits keep fighting until there's a shootout, car chase, or intergalactic apocalypse.

Anything written by John Irving - especially The World According To Garp and Hotel New Hampshire. Pointless nonsense.

Anything with superheros or transport that transforms into robots.
Also anything that's overly patriotic.

Great opinion about QT. IMO, he's really overrated.

Most of the what was called teen movies that were the rage during the 1980s were misogynistic by today’s standards. “Weird Science” was relatively mild in that regard.

I thought it was misogynistic back in the eighties. It takes a long time for minds and opinions to change. They still haven't for many people, and they are not all old people either. :( It's not a social switch.

I would say I hate it, but I cannot watch it. I find the ending painfully horrendous. My older brother saw it when I was about eight and loved it.

Bonnie and Clyde

I am not at all a fan of shoot'em till their dead scenes, and then shoot them some more.
Casino (overall, I like the movie, the violence causes me to have emotional pain)
The Godfather and The Godfather II
there is a film where Peter Boyle's character is shot in the head. very disturbing.
The St. Valentine's Day Massacre

For whatever reason, Sam Peckinpah's films don't bother me.

Compared to the plethora of slasher films that were all the rage, "Porkys" , "Revenge of the Nerds" etc, it was pretty mild.

A lot of people today put the John Hughes films in that category but the teens of that era generally thought his films unlike most other films marketed to teens then did not talk down to them.

People were complaining about MTV videos back then.

2001 a space odyssey.
I appreciated the attempt at science accuracy, but I hated it's abstract interpretations.

Any movie depicting spacecraft manoeuvring like an aeroplane.

Any movie with a gun battle where there is more than 2 Kg of high velocity lead in the air and the hero can cross the room without a scratch.
