The most consistently boring oeuvre of any director must be the films of that Russian guy (forgotten his name) who made Stalker and Solaries. Stalker is probably the most boring film ever made. Nothing happens for what seems like 133 hours.

Death in Venice is pretty boring too - I love the sketch in The Goodies when they are watching this and then start throwing things at the screen when nothing happens. That's the greatest piece of film criticism I've ever seen.

The most boring film I have seen of recent times was Charlies Angels: Full Throttle.

The great Andrei Tarkovsky. Solaris is a fine study of dreams, expectations, love and loss (remade excellently with George Clooney) while Stalker revisits those themes but adds an intriguing dose of melancholy to the mix. Tarkovsky's film are difficult but well worth the effort.

28 Days Later is not a film that I would willingly sit through again

I liked 28 Days. 28 Weeks Later on the other hand was an appalling insult to the intelligence. A travesty.

Not boring however...

The dvd of Last Year at Marienbad comes with a documentary about book supply at the Bibliotheque Nationale. It's much more entertaining than the main feature...

Nice one Mr. Bats, just trying to imagine that!
I suppose DRILLER KILLER must be the ultimate boring movie.

Never been a big fan of Zombie films but Diary of the Dead was deeply tedious and forgettable and clearly infuenced by the 28 days/weeks films.
