What movies have you seen that made you wish you had those 2 hours of your life back? [View all]

Here's mine: "Old Gringo". OMG. It will remain on my list of worst movies ever for all time.

I love Gregory Peck, I like Jane Fonda - and will root for her whenever the opportunity arises - but this movie truly made me want to barf. Just a horrible mish-mash of a bodice ripper trying to be politically relevant (I think), and a total waste of talented actors.

I went to see it when it was first released, thinking, "Cool! Mexican revolution! Jane Fonda! Gregory Peck!". Ugh. What a turkey!

I've never seen a Quentin Tarantino movie - mostly because they just aren't the kind of movies scarletwoman Jan 2014 #12
