For me, "This is Spinal Tap."

Saw it when I was a teenager and was one of the most genious pieces of comedy I'd ever witnessed.

Showed it to my wife (was my girlfriend at the time) and she couldn't stand it. To this day I bring it up and it's still the worst film she's ever seen.

What about y'all?

If it is dark, as in The Empire Strikes Back, then my wife typically does not enjoy the movie as much as I did. She did enjoy Empire, but she would never rank it as the best movie as I do. She had much the same reaction to Infinity War.

She absolutely hates anything with hobbits, elves, and wizards in it. Cannot stand Gollum. So of course I introduced our daughter to that character, and now, on occasion, when my daughter wants to elicit a response from her mom, all she has to do is say in a gravelly voice, "My precious!"

She also hates movies about old-style warfare, like Gladiator or Braveheart.

My wife hates both of these films so much, I don't know why, I make it a point to put them on if I see them while scrolling through the channels.

Anything with violence and most anything that doesn't necessarily have a happy ending.

I love an awesome story and it doesn't have to end happy. She wants a movie to take her away to a happy feeling at the end. If she's going to invest 2+ hours in something she wants to feel better at the end of it than at the beginning.

Seeing this in theaters was a defining moment in the relationship. I was laughing throughout...her not so much...we stopped watching dark satire together

EDIT: oh **** I read this as Starship Troopers... but this one kind of works too

My wife despises "O' Brother Where Art Thou" with a burning passion.

She hates stupidity basically and can't tolerate the representations, but also hates just like comedic satire. the racism also turns her off even though it's a parody basically.

She also hates "Napolean Dynamite" for the same reasons pretty much.

She is not a Farrelly Brothers fan either - particularly "Me Myself and I" or "Dumb and Dumber" or "Stuck on you" or "Kingpin".


However she loves "Ace Ventura" so go figure.

LOTR!

TNT used to (maybe they still do) play LOTR marathon Sundays starting with the fellowship at like 9am and ROTK would end at 10pm or something... Man she hated those days. Good times.
