If you haven't seen them how do you know they put you to sleep?
He said he hadn't seen the end of them, meaning he fell asleep in the middle of them.
Dances With Wolves
Weird. I read his post at least twice and could have sworn he didn't say "the end" part. My apologies. Must be vestigial turkey blindness.
All the Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars movies.
Also I just recently watched "Scrooged" (1988? Christmas Carol remake). How that movie got made, I don't know.

Most Hollywood action films.
Such flat characterization.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Tree of Life (Which I didn't finish because it was so boring)

Braveheart. I've tried on three separate occasions to watch this movie and each time, Zzzzz...within the first 15 minutes.
Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 Solaris. Solaris must be Russian for "like watching paint dry."
The low-budget 1951 Lost Continent (not to be confused with Hammer's 1968 The Lost Continent or George Pal's 1961 Atlantis, the Lost Continent). It should have been called Rock Climbing 101.
Alan Rudolph's 1976 snoozer Welcome to L.A. Rich, successful, attractive people living empty, meaningless lives in empty, meaningless Los Angeles, and jumping in and out of each other's beds. (I'm actually making the picture sound more exciting than it is.)

It didn't put me to sleep per se but I felt the same way about the Color Purple. Just when I thought the film was reaching a logical conclusion there was another jump ahead a few years and the film kept going.
At one point, I leaned over to my friend and said "at this rate, the movie's going to end with a present day Whoopi, sitting in a theater, watching her own life story."
I don't think contemplative movies that move slowly but with excellent cinematography and emotional precision like Solaris should be considered boring. They are not everyone's cup of tea but if you can focus in with a healthy attention span they can be extremely rewarding.
There are films like Transformers that move a lot more quickly but are a lot more tedious because there's no real emotional content and everything is just candy animation with things blowing up buildings falling down in the background.

Me too! I couldn't find the point of it tbh.
The Matrix. Started falling asleep within the first few minutes of it.
Memento... see the Matrix, somewhat. Ended up getting lost in the plot.
Stargate: The Arc of Truth. Bad acting by the main actors = me taking the dvd out of the player.
Little Miss Sunshine. I failed to see what made it so good. It just felt like another dysfunctional family movie.
Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. I don't mind Jim Carrey... just didn't really like these films all that well. Guess I'm not a fan of the type of humor in them.
