The Room is definetly not boring it is a brilliant film. Now 300 and its spoof version Meet the Spartans is boring.

I have never seen The Room, but judging from the Nostalgia Critic's review it looks terrible but the review was funny.
One film I find slightly boring is Star Trek The Motion Picture. It starts off good at first but probably got a little hard to watch around the time Spock returned to the Enterprise. But at some point in the film to which I can't really remember it got interesting again. I didn't really like that Decker guy and the bald lady, though they were the inspiration for Riker and Troi. Also why was Spock so obsessed with V'Ger. I think this film is still better than Star Trek V The Final Frontier, though that film wasn't boring.

2001: A Space Odyssey

Yes, it's a classic, but it's simply people slowly walking
through space with creepy music in the background. BORING!

Cloverfield

Hipsters with a camera run through NYC as a monster tears the city apart. BORING!

Marie-Antionette

Couldn't get past the first 5-10 minutes. Don't get me wrong, "Lost in Translation" was awesome,
but this costume drama was BORING!

Lady in the Water

Shymalan makes boring pieces of s**t look easy.

The Happening

Need I say more?

The Room is a terrible movie, but boring it is not.

Beast of Yucca Flats has worse filming probably. Before I fell asleep I had the impression they were pointing the camera away from the place where they should have pointed it.

Seconded.

I also found Casablanca to be boring, mainly because I was sort of lost throughout the movie.

Solaris from a few years ago with George Clooney. Worst wasted hours of my life - most of the time I had no idea what was happening except that there didn't seem to be much happening.

Presented for your edification: the easy viewing guide to 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Fast forward through the monkeys jumping around to the point where they meet the monolith. Then fast forward to the monkeys fighting and throwing that bone into the notorious 3 million year jump cut. Fast forward through the space plane sequence, then stop and watch the golf ball moon lander sequence. Fast forward to the astronauts standing by the moon monolith and then watch the entire HAL sequence. Skip through the ending as you see fit.

There, the most exciting bits.

It's only "slow" today because of Lucas' space operas. It's intended to show the beauty of space flight, along with the realities. Stanley meant it as a breakthrough in story telling as there is very little dialogue, which has increased in movies as of recent.

I so hate to say this, as I am a huge David Lynch fan, but I honestly had to fight to stay awake when I rented Inland Empire. To be sure, the movie had memorable moments such as the rabbits with their premonitions of doom, and was genuinely creepy to be sure. But it was that very slow, deliberate build up for that creepy mood, with all the prolonged walks through dark corridors, that made me just about nod off.

That reminds me...Mullohland Drive...even a lesbian scene with two beautiful women couldn't rescue the movie.

"The Violent Years" starring Jean Moorehead in the mid fifties.
I found the DVD in the bargain bin.

Its easy to create boredom out of eight hours of footage of a guy sleeping ala Andy Warhol.

But if your subject is an all girl gang of juvenile deliquents taking to crime, sex, and debauchery, - turning THAT into a yawner is a real acheivement!

This ernest morality play about the Fifies rise in juvenile deliquency supposidly based on "actual cases" has two minutes of entertaining drama in the middle when the gang of highschool girls gone wrong are conducting an armed robbery of a hapless young man on a secluded road.

One of girls starts eyeing the young man in a certain way- and murmers "he looks goooood!".and then-the girls drag the guy off into the woods for an implied gang rape!

The scene comes off as side splittingly funny!

Unfortunetly it wasnt MEANT to be funny!
It was meant to be disturbing.

The movie returns to plodding boringness after that.

I feel bad saying it, but "The Godfather". Yes, it's technically a good movie. Yes, it's widely acclaimed. But I almost fell asleep multiple times while watching it. :(

Funny, because I kinda felt the same about part II. I'm really into the type of movies that have silly but awesome stuff happening, such as animated films or superheroes or sci fi.

Ed Wood re-did that scene for "Fugitive Girls" made in 1974. Wood wrote "The Violent Years" and "Fugitive Girls".
