Oddly enough I've only seen one of the movies listed here, Father's Day, and I never bothered seeing it a second time.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Not a big fan of Anime, but I got this DVD and still have it. Art on screen.

The 13th Warrior
Never even saw adds for theater. Thot it was direct to DVD. It wasn't so bad, but I still gave the DVD away.

The Postman
Saw it on DVD. Fast Forwarded a LOT. What a loooong waste of time.

Stealth
Saw it in theater. Hated it. Jamie Foxx bailed early (or he didn't bail) The ending was lame too.

Ishtar
Saw it in theater. Not so good.

The Avengers
Got the vid because it was so cheap. Gave it to the thrift store immediately.

Jonah Hex
Missed it in theater but got the DVD. Can see why it was not a seller

Timeline
I love this movie. My DVD is on my time travel shelf.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was just a terrible movie. Good plot but really poor execution.

Hudson Hawk was a silly movie and I'm sure I read that Bruce Willis delayed it's release because he wanted his thinning hair digitelly enhanced or something like that (before he embrassed his baldness) - but, I liked it. Same for The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
