Dances with Wolves and Analyze This were two of the movies that made me doubt the taste of my fellow countrymen.
I thought Dances with Wolves was interminable and unbearably dull. I kept wondering how the heck Kevin Costner got the job (same as in his Wyatt Earp and Water World). Why in God's green earth people keep allowing him to make epic snoozers is beyond me.

Analyze This ought to have been funny, but DeNiro and Crystal just didn't work together for me. My poor husband sat through the whole thing muttering, "No, we won't shut it off yet- there must be SOMETHING funny in this movie. It's getting great box office receipts and everyone we know loved this. We're not shutting it off now." I walked away 30 minutes into it, grabbed a book, and shut myself in another room so that I could be done with Lisa Kudrow's whiny ablutions and the painful attempts at humour by De Niro (who CAN be funny) and Crystal (oh the agony- I love that guy- but this film bit.)

P.S. Anything with Adam Sandler annoys the heck out of me. I can't stand a comedian who laughs all the way through his own jokes. It's like a laugh track. It's only there 'cause otherwise you wouldn't laugh with him.
