Anything after Saw 1.
And...No Country For Old Men. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. It's boring, pretentious, and it shits over the near stellar careers of the Coen brothers.
It's averting the tendency of action movies to have explosions, soundtracks and love interests in bikinis. It's less visually appealing because of it, but it a bit more interesting and thought provoking. That said, it isn't perfect. If you want to reply, please give some more reasons you don't like it.
For me... One of those generic parody-porn films.
It's a frustrating movie, but that's the whole point. The focus was depicting a world where reason, order and notions of good and evil are completely extinct. Like Anton Chigur himself, all action and development seems to be down to the whims of chance. It's one of my favourite Coen Brothers films, next to Barton Fink. I love how every single line of dialogue exudes purpose.
For me, the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland. That movie makes me depressed. It didn't need to be made. We already had a dark, mature adaptation of Alice in the American McGee incarnation. Whose idea was it to attempt to apply plot and logic to Alice in Wonderland? It was just cannon fodder for the 3D fad. Also, Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. Why, Terry Gilliam? What the hell happened?
And people still call Scott Pilgrim vs The World hipster shit? I don't understand how a movie that takes the piss out of every hipster trend and uses it to comedic effect can be classified as hipster. It would be like calling Spaceballs a Star Wars rip-off. That was kinda' the point, guys. It's just a genuinely funny, well acted, well choreographed movie.
