55. Any David Lynch movie.

Sorry. I KNOW it's uncool of me to hate on David Lynch, but I never could stand Twin Peaks either. I know that leaves me out of the cool kids club, but there it is. (Aside from the storyline, the fact that people who love Twin Peaks seem to think the rest of us are idiots or very uncool is what makes me hate it even more.)

I think the only Lynch movie I finished was Mulholland Drive, which was borderline.
