On Golden Pond (1981)

Sinks like a stone

At the time I saw this, it was the worst film I have ever seen which won an Oscar. Some of the scenes seem to consist of some kind of message from Jane Fonda to her father, or something.

Henry Fonda wanders around getting annoyed about minor things, Katherine Hepburn wanders around making ecstatic faces about the beauties of nature, Jane Fonda wanders around making "meaningful" speeches.

At the end of the film you're no wiser, and none of it is at all entertaining.
