Worst movie EVER

[burythehatchet]

You know, the one that made you angry that you rented it, or god forbid, paid 9 bucks at a theater.

The question is promted by the fact that Gigli is on. J Lo's ass keeps it from being the worst ever, but it made me wonder.

[Katherine Brengle]

1. The Ice Harvest--

I rented it last night and I regretted it after the first three minutes. I watched the entire thing and I can't believe I managed to NOT kill myself.

It was horrible in every possible way.

Also, today I watched Elizabethtown, and it was also extremely disappointing--very cliche wanna-be pseudo-indy flick.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

266. I agree on Elizabethtown.

Perfect description.
The Ice Harvest I kind of liked. :shrug:

[Iniquitous Bunny]

267. delete

posted in the wrong spot :blush:

[last_texas_dem]

286. That was bad

(Ice Harvest that is). It was one of those movies I saw because I was with someone who wanted to see it; I didn't really know anything about it going into it. (Which is why I try to stay away from that situation most of the time!) I think it really didn't work because it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a truly graphic and shocking movie or a parody of those sorts of movies and just ended up somewhere in between; just ended up an unremarkably bad (in terms of content and quality) movie.

Elizabethtown was a little of a let-down considering what Cameron Crowe has done in the past, but I still thought it was a better-than-average film. The worst I could say is that it dragged a bit in places, but parts of it still managed to effect me emotionally, in a good, say sort of way.

[Kerrytravelers]

296. I haven't seen Elizabethtown yet. Here is the reason I want to see it:

I really wanted the 2006 Orlando Bloom calendar. I didn't get it. :cry:


Mr. kt says I am the most boy-crazy married woman he has ever known.

[blondeatlast]

2. "Old School" and "Wild, Wild West,." Equally wretched. nt

[burythehatchet]

6. Oh god yes, Wild Wild West was truly

a wonder. Now Old School, that was funny. :)

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

97. I love Old School!

:D

"C'mon, we're goin' steaking.

[JohnKleeb]

164. Its such a great movie

Blue you my boy.
You know the guy who played Blue died over the holiday season, its a shame.

[TheBaldyMan]

3. Shallow Hal

not THE worst movie ever, a movie I did rent but regretted the most afterwards.

[Ravenseye]

4. Cool World (1992) - Worst Movie EVER

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104009/



I didn't get up and leave the theater during this film, but I should have. To this day I can't leave a film till the end, unless I am positive it is worse than Cool World.

I haven't left a film since.

[burythehatchet]

8. but the box says "Great movie"

that's funny you use it as a barometer for other bad movies. :D

[Ravenseye]

12. It's part of my rating scale

5 stars - Great movie that everyone must see and enjoy or I'll destroy them.
4 stars - Great movie that either isn't for everyone, or has a couple flaws.
3 stars - Good movie. Maybe topical, or flawed. Worth at least a rental.
2 stars - Some might enjoy it. Probably heavily flawed.
1 star - Bad movie. Avoid it if you can.
Cool World - Hunt down the makers of this film and kill them

[burythehatchet]

14. you're killin me here

:rofl::rofl:

[Yavin4]

264. I Walked Out on Cool World

That's the only movie that I have ever walked out on. Horribly, horribly bad. I know a lot of people who did the same.

[begin_within]

5. That one with Richard Gere playing a gynecologist. Dr. "something"

[blondeatlast]

56. I can't think of the name either, but that was wretched.

I started watching it one night when I couldn't sleep and the damn thing was playing in my half-awake state.

That one sucked lizard eggs.

:scared:

[begin_within]

86. "Dr. T and the Women." It was supposed to be a comedy, believe it or not.

[lakemonster11]

248. I had great fun seeing Dr. T and the Women.

This friend of mine who was a total movie snob had been taking me to see elitist "films" of all sorts for about a year, while ridiculing the movies that I had the audacity to mention looked good to me (like "Shanghai Noon," an awesome movie, it turns out). Some of them were quite good; others were very boring but he thought they were good. Then he insisted that we go see Dr. T and the Women. My other friend and I, resigned at this point to the fact that we couldn't argue with him, agreed to go.

As soon as the movie started, I knew it was terrible. As it got worse and worse, I could feel my friend seething next to me. Ah, sweet schadenfreude! I settled down to watch as the ridiculousness unfolded. When we walked out of the theater, his face was actually red with anger. He asked me what I thought of the movie, and I said, tongue in cheek, "It was pretty entertaining." He was absolutely livid. :evilgrin:

[begin_within]

256. We started laughing halfway through it, but we were laughing AT the movie.

[no name no slogan]

7. "Waterworld", "Robin Hood: Men In Tights", "Battlefield Earth"

"RH:MiT" was a HUGE disappointment, considering it was by Mel Brooks. It is the one movie I actually walked out of early, it was sooooo bad.

The other two are just plain terrible.

[Strong Atheist]

52. Battlefield earth was based on a REALLY sh**y book, SO

GIGO.

[AngryAmish]

9. Devil in the House of Exorcism

[Skittles]

233. um............AA???

LOL exactly WHAT were you expecting from that movie? :D

[Benfea]

10. I beg to differ. There is worse, believe it or not.

I know people who for reasons I cannot fathom are genuine aficionados of bad movies. They own large collections of really bad movies and will get into lengthy debates with one another about which one was more exquisitely horrible than which other one.

The general consensus among such people is that the two worst movies are "Manos": The Hands of Fate and Night Train to Mundo Fine (also known as "Red Zone Cuba"). They will argue about which one is worse, but most of them agree those are the top two. "Gigli" simply receives more attention because it's newer, involves a star, and thus more people know about it.

[Gemini Cat]

36. After slamming my head repeatedly against the wall

I started to like "Mano's."
"Red Zone Cuba" on the other hand...even Mike and the Bots couldn't make THAT pain go away.

[Benfea]

202. I have not seen either movie.

I am content to take the experts at their word. ;)

[last_texas_dem]

287. I think "Manos"

is one of those so-bad-it's-good movies. Another much different movie that, to me at least, worked on the same level was Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. Manos is low-budget, low-quality, but almost fun to watch because of this. Harold and Kumar is just so stupid and off-the-wall that it's fun.

And it could just be that I have crappy taste in movies...

[burythehatchet]

11. Oh I got one, The Cat in the Hat

I took my then 6 year old, and it was the only time I was annoyed at a movie with him. "What's the matter Daddy". "Justin, that movie was really awful".

[bigwillq]

13. Hostel (nt)

[deadparrot]

15. The worst I've seen in recent memory

is "The Perfect Man."

http://imdb.com/title/tt0380623/

My mother thought it looked "cute" and dragged me to it. Oh god, it was painful.

[MissB]

16. Waterworld or one of Clooney's movies (three kings?)

[ghostsofgiants]

17. Three Kings was great.

[MissB]

19. Bleeccchhhh

Maybe it grows on your or something. :shrug:

I like Clooney's movies. Except that one.

[LynneSin]

72. Three Kings ROCKED

and had a great message about just how fucked up that first gulf war was too

[ghostsofgiants]

18. The Doom Generation was fucking awful.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112887/

[blondeatlast]

54. "Sex. Vioence. Whatever." How utterly original!

:sarcasm:

[SofaKingLiberal]

20. Brokeback Mountain

:popcorn:

[Art_from_Ark]

21. Any movie based on a 60s TV show or cartoon

And then there's "Satan's Cheerleaders". I made the mistake once of going to a drive-in theater and actually watching the movie :banghead:

[MissB]

22. Oooh, I remember one that sucked light.

Only, I can't recall the title. It was "the" movie to see that season. Something about pets or a petshow and the pet owner.

[TheBaldyMan]

25. Best In Show ?

[burythehatchet]

26. Aw HELL no

Not Best iN show. I can watch that movie every day.

[MissB]

28. Really?

:cry:

[UCLA02]

40. I used to be able to name every nut that there was.

And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut." That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!" And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go "rrrawr rrawr" and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut.
--Harlan Pepper

Laughing my ass off now as I post this.

[Orsino]

62. It's kind of painful in places...

...for any dog-lover, I imagine, but I liked that movie a lot.

[mac56]

76. I'm a dog lover

and it's one of my all time favorite movies.

[Orsino]

116. You weren't cringing at Parker Posey?

That couple abused that poor dog.

[mac56]

117. It's odd. I thought the yuppie couple abused each other.

The dog rose above it all.

[Orsino]

121. Good lord, no.

The dog was nearly forgotten among all the hissing and yelling. Poor thing.

[mac56]

124. I admit I may be splitting hairs here

but to me "nearly forgotten" doesn't equal "abused".

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

[Orsino]

162. Maybe...

...but I was cringing at all the yelling, rather than at the semi-neglect. I think dogs are very sensitive to tone of voice, so that's borderline abuse. The worst was the end, when we learn that the couple simply got rid of the dog, blaming it for all their problems. That's definitely abuse, in my book.

[Arugula Latte]

155. self-delete

posted in wrong place. d'oh!

[Arugula Latte]

154. And I'm totally a cat person and it's still one of my all-time favorites!

[LostinVA]

127. That movie is soooo funny!

[MissB]

27. Yes.

Now you're going to tell me you loved it, right?

[grace0418]

39. Definitely in my top 20 all time favorite movies.

I've seen it at least 10 times.

[Frank Cannon]

48. Is that the one with Parker Posey in braces?

I thought that movie was hilarious!

[begin_within]

23. "Young Cycle Girls" aka "Cycle Vixens" (1978). Awful in every way.

[UCLA02]

24. Troy

Just dreadful.
The acting sucked.
The plot sucked (as a twisted adaptation from Homer)
The accents sucked.
The movie sucked.

[iamjoy]

135. Hate Troy? You Must Be Male

Brad Pitt running around nearly naked for 2+ hours...plus Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana. If nothing else it had some nice eye candy. I was disappointed in just how much of a wuss Bloom played.

[TimeChaser]

138. Actually, I was glad

Paris is a wuss, a wimp, a lover not a fighter. Aphrodite whisks him out of battle and into Helen's bed in the original Iliad. If they had made Paris anything but a wimp, I would have been seriously pissed. I was already a little mad that they made Patrocles somehow Achilles' cousin :shrug:

[Kerrytravelers]

146. Mmmm..... the men of Troy..... mmmmmmmm

In a word: Yummm....
In a smilie:






Pitt and Bloom are heavily involved in the ONE Campaign.
www.one.org
http://www.one.org/dia/organizationsONE/one/content.jsp?content_KEY=9

And Bana... just yummy!





And all three together! Yipeee!

[UCLA02]

160. Bana was the WORST of the 3!

His expression didn't change for 2.5 hours!

Watch it again. Same expression when fighting, chatting w/Pop, angry at Paris, etc...

Yaeh, yeah, yeah...I get the whole hot, sweaty sexy actor thing, but they were especially lame in this one.

Dreadful. Fucking. Movie.

[Kerrytravelers]

167. There was a movie? I didn't notice. I was just staring at the screen...

...and smiling. Yum....

[UCLA02]

169. You're right, there wasn't a movie...

Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate Brad's acting when he's actually doing it (to wit, Seven, 12 Monkeys, Fight Club, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) but this was just dreck.

But I can appreciate your position. I think Natalie Portman can be an abysmal actor (Star Wars 1-3) but, ohh, certainly worth the $10 plus popcorn.

Different sides of the same coin, I suppose. ;-)

[Kerrytravelers]

183. Mr kt agrees. Long hair, short, bald... Nat is still a hottie!

And hey, I'd consider joining the other team for her. She's quite a looker! :evilgrin:







I mean, really. Look at how lovely she is. (And a Democrat!)



Plus, she is a Harvard grad, so brains to boot!

[UCLA02]

184. Ohhhh...my.

My day only goes downhill from here...

Thanks...I think.

;-)

[Hand]

136. If you hated "Troy", you'd REALLY hate "Alexander"!

Same basic thing--except it's (supposedly) the life of Alexander the Great. Sript sucked, acting sucked, movie sucked. It's one of thsoe movies that you can tell is going to suck hugely about ten minutes in... :puke:

[lakemonster11]

258. It depends on why you hated Troy.

I have a degree in ancient history, so Troy drove me crazy with its obvious historical and mythological inaccuracies. The Greeks didn't have coins back then, so how in the hell could they be part of an important death ritual? Sparta is very land-locked; there is no "Port of Sparta." They demolished half of Greek mythology and literature when they killed Ajax, Agamemnon, etc., all of whom survive the war. Patrokles isn't Achilles "cousin," and he was older than Achilles, not younger. (This change really bothered me, because it smacked of homophobia. It was also lazy---if you make Patrokles Achilles' cousin, you don't have to set up their relationship in order to explain Achilles' strong reaction when Patrokles dies. Instead of it being about a close personal relationship, it was about avenging the death of a family member.) I don't mind when screenwriters change some things when they make books, plays, or, in this case, epic poems, into movies---they have to adapt them for the medium---but there should be a reason for the changes they make. They should make the story stronger, not stupider. It would also be nice if they checked their script against obvious historical inaccuracies.

Alexander, on the other hand, while a much less entertaining movie, is much more accurate. It wasn't "good" by any stretch, but it wasn't full of distracting inaccuracies and silliness. I actually enjoyed it, because I had just finished a set of historical fiction novels about Alexander, so it was interesting to see the same events unfold on-screen.

[Dave Sund]

29. Hmm...

Alexander was three hours worth of crap, that I unfortunately saw at the theater.

Paycheck was really bad too. Pretty much anything Affleck's starred in, actually.

But most of the bad movies I've seen have been on HBO.

Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey is at or near the top.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

30. "Mary Shelley's Frankenstien".........

with Brannagh, DeNiro and Bonham-Carter. I want those two hours of my life back, and then some. They owe it to me, it was so bad.

[Nevernose]

34. What the hell happened to DeNiro?

When was the last time he made a good movie? And Brannagh and HBC aren't exactly slouches, and I can't forgive them for "Sheeley's Frankenstein," but they don't have a chain of shitty movies with good resumes quite like DeNiro does. When Sting ("The Bride") shows up DeNiro, something's seriously wrong with the world.

[htuttle]

161. Frankenstein Unleashed

You don't know bad movies, until you've seen 'Frankenstein Unleashed'.

John Hurt, Raoul Julia, Bridgette Fonda, Michael Hutchence and another sentient time-travelling DeLorean in a trans-social commentary by Famed Director Roger Corman.

"Deliciously Bad!", says Leonard Pinth Garnelle.

[Faygo Kid]

252. Great choice. Horrible movie.

Ken did not make a good Frankenstein. He would never have ripped Barbie's heart from her chest.

[fishwax]

31. The Bachelor

with chris o'donnel and rene zellweger. :puke: i was pissed that I spent money on that rental ...

[seemunkee]

32. The Lonely Lady w/ Pia Zadora

Oh my GOD!!! Did that suck. There were 4 other people in the theater besides my wife and I. Two of them left after less than 30 minutes and the other couple(whom we didn't know and were sitting on the other side of the theater and us made snide comments about the movie to each other until we finally left.

[Nevernose]

33. "Battlefield Earth" is Kurasawa compared to "Cutthroat Island"

Really a toss up. The worst thing is, I'm obsessed w/ pirates. Have a dozen books on the subject, a few DVDs (plan on getting more of both, and have even looked into going to Jamaica for vacation) and enjoy virtually anything with pirates in it, even "Pirates of the Plain," a straight-to-video, for-kids stinker. I even like Geena Davis and Matthew Modine. But still...

Worst. Movie. Ever.

[DBoon]

316. Have you seen "Crossbones"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420565/

Quote from review:

"I can usually find something good in most low budget horror movies. This is one that I can't. It is so bad on so many levels."

Fortunately, we only paid $5 for the DVD

[speedoo]

35. Glitter. I think that was the title of the Mariah Carey thing.

Absolutely horrible. And if I recall correctly she did not even show a lot of skin in it.

[mitchum]

37. Tie between "The Lonely Lady" and "Laserblast"

only two movies where I ever asked for my money back. I usually set my expectations pretty low when I go to see obvious dreck, but these sank even lower.

[Frank Cannon]

47. I'll second you on Laserblast

That was one of the first R-rated movies I ever saw. The thrill of seeing a "grown-up" film in no way made up for the fact that it was a steaming pile of shit.

I heard there's a Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment of Laserblast. I've got to get my hands on that one.

Close rival to Laserblast: "Mandingo", starring boxing great Kenny Norton as a slave.

[mitchum]

85. But "Mandingo" is my favorite bad movie of all time!

It is absolutely appalling. I watch it every other year or so and every time I am still amazed at both its treatment of the subject matter and the execution.
Several thoughts always run through my head:
Did James Mason base his vocal characterization on Strom Thurmond?
Why did they spend $20 million dollars on this?
Did Ken Norton think this would launch an acting career?
Did this derail Perry King's promising career?
How in the hell did they get Muddy Waters and Taj Mahal involved with this???!!!

Mandingo = High Trash

[Frank Cannon]

92. I'm not sure what James Mason based his accent on

I don't believe that speech pattern ever existed on Earth.

"CARM YOHAH HAYAH!!! CARM YOHAH HAYAH!!" (Translation: Comb your hair!)

[Ron Mexico]

80. Is Laser Blast the one with Brandon Lee and Ernest Borgnine?

If so, it's news to me that someone besides me wasted enough time to see it. You have my deepest condolences.

[Frank Cannon]

91. No, that was Laser Mission

But I envy you. If you haven't seen Laserblast, you're in for a real treat. It's available on Netflix. Just make sure you invite all your friends over and get seriously hammered before you watch it.

[DBoon]

38. Crossbones

My wife paid $5 for the DVD



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420565/

Quote from review:

"I have to say, this is one of the worst low-budget horror flicks I've seen in a while"

[slybacon9]

41. the Fifth Element

[DJ MEW]

213. I can't believe you hate that movie

it is just a fun space movie that is not to be taken seriously.

[Zookeeper]

259. I really liked the Fifth Element...

However, I realize I am in the minority.

[Initech]

42. Shrek 2

Completely lost everything that made the original Shrek great.

[Bryan]

43. Moulin Rouge!

A deliberately weightless story designed to focus attention on the visual and auditory aesthetic-but when the aesthetic approach is so disgustingly tacky as to induce vomiting, one wonders why they bothered. This isn't a movie, it's an IRA hobnail bomb-get as far away from it as you can, or pieces of it will be permanently stuck inside you.

[Mad_Dem_X]

78. Hated that movie!

After I saw it, I was baffled by all the hype it got.

[swag]

83. Lordy, what a stinker.

Unbearable even before Ewan McGregor's seventh key change on "Your Song."

An appalling piece of shit.

Good choice.

[Blue Belle]

219. OMG... I thought that movie sucked.

Thank you for saying something.

[Zookeeper]

260. It has a certain "camp" value. n/t

[Common Sense Party]

44. Caddyshack 2.

Oh, the horror. The HORROR!!!

[underpants]

65. That one really did suck

as a sequel or not

[Major Hogwash]

45. Pocket Money with Paul Newman and Lee Marvin.

I was so bored after watching for 30 minutes, I started wondering what the hell I was doing wasting my time watching that piece of crap, so I got up and walked out of the theater.

I was a HUGE Lee Marvin fan at the time, too.

Took me a long time to get over it and watch any more of his movies.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

46. As far as major feature films are concerned, I would say Out Of Africa

Of course there are a lot of low budget exploitation films and slasher movies that are absolute crap, some that are so bad they go directly to video or DVD. But as far as mainstream films, Out Of Africa really bored me and I actually fell asleep for a few minutes when I saw it in the theater in the mid 1980s. I had to go see it but I was really sorry I did. I just didn't get any kind of feeling out of the love relationship that was central to the storyline although the cinematography and the music was allright. I couldn't wait for the credits to roll.

[Bridget Burke]

87. I just couldn't see Robert Redford as The Love of Her Life....

I found her husband much more chaming. So--have gave her syphilis. Nobody's perfect!

[allalone]

278. oh yeah

I kept falling asleep

[BlueIris]

49. The Hearse. Ever heard of it?

So BAD. Worst film I've ever seen and I've seen some pretty. bad. film. I Spit on Your Grave. B.A.P.S. The Killer Eye. Sweet November. The Hearse is literally the most terrible waste of celluloid in the history of time.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

50. Forrest Gump.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Stevendsmith]

186. Yes, thank you. (n/t)

[nuxvomica]

199. I can leave now. This thread is complete.

Every worst movie thread must include FG and there should be innumerable posters agreeing with it. My part is done here. Thank you, Starbucks Anarchist.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

203. You're welcome.

:hi:

I've seen plenty of bad movies, but FG takes the cake because it sucked massively despite featuring a normally talented cast and crew. The fact that it swept the Oscars is mind-blowing, too.

[Skittles]

235. hated, HATED Forest Gump

what insipid SCHLOCK

[Starbucks Anarchist]

238. It reminds me of Bush.

A severely mentally challenged man coasts through life while everyone else around him dies.

[mikeytherat]

51. Dude. Where's my car?

Dude. Where's the 90 minutes of my life back?

mikey_the_rat

[Strong Atheist]

53. Time bandits, Eraserhead.

The whole theater left and demanded their money back as soon as the projector broke in Time Bandits (did not wait to see if it would be fixed... that says something).

I left Eraserhead after the first half hour, could not watch more...

[hunter]

93. My girlfriend at the time thought Eraserhead would be a good date movie.

I've probably never fully recovered from that.

[Strong Atheist]

94. You watched

THE WHOLE THING?!?!?!???!?!?

[sendero]

181. Eraserhead..

... is one of a handful, out of thousands, of movies that I couldn't/wouldn't finish watching.

After 30 minutes I had to turn it off.

And I'm generally a big David Lynch fan. It's not that it is a bad movie, it's that it was making its point way too well and I couldn't deal with it.

[Zookeeper]

261. Eraserhead is one of my five favorite movies.

I've seen roughly ten times. Mr. Z. gave me the remastered DVD version for Valentine's Day.

Boy, I really AM weird.

[jmm]

55. Leprechaun in the Hood

Starring Ice T as a leprechaun. About the only memorable part of it was the following song

Jesus loves me. This I know.
If he don't, I'll find a ho.
His mama's name was Mary Jo.
And his disciples was some bad mo-fo.

[Cannikin]

57. Ishtar.........lest we forget

[barb162]

101. Yeah, Ishtar

[burythehatchet]

106. I'll never forget the Far Side cartoon

where it depicted the video rental store in hell. All the movies on the racks were Ichtar. :rofl:

[Blue Belle]

241. "VIdeo Rentals in Hell"

:rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

58. Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.

The joke is, I'm not kidding. That movie fucking sucked and I wanted to leave 30 minutes into it. It was almost as bad as watching Hole in concert.

[burythehatchet]

107. Which one the original or the remake

The Bill Murray one was pretty good, especially wasted.

[file83]

304. Wow. Just curious, have you ever done drugs? Do you hate Johnny Depp?

Do you not like Terry Gilliam movies in general?

I'm just trying to get a feel for why you hated it. (I don't know who Hole is).

[Vidar]

59. The English Patient

[burythehatchet]

63. I was a little reluctant to mention that one

because I might appear uncultured. But I rented that movie and could not get past the first 15 minutes. The worst part was I kept delaying the return to blockbuster and paid like 12 bucks in late fees.

[myrna minx]

77. The Avengers.

I saw it in the theater and not only did I want my money back, but I wanted the 90 minutes of my life back. They did not capture ANYTHING of the spirit of the cult classic TV show. Ugh. Unwatchable.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

153. I paid to see Uma's ass.......

....and got Ralph Finnes' rear instead.

[alarcojon]

142. Nah, it just sucked

you don't have to be uncultured to see that. Orientalist piece of crap.

[Faygo Kid]

251. I will appear uncultured without hesitation. I hated The English Patient

Culture had nothing to do with. What a load of self-important crap. I was no Seinfeld fan, but Elaine got this one right.

[Kerrytravelers]

147. Know what happen when Elaine declared her hatred of The English Patient?

She lost her boyfriend and got a demotion at work (if I recall correctly.)

[Feron]

216. Agreed.

Talk about long and boring. Good grief I actually cheered when the guy finally died.

[Atmashine]

60. The Village

[last_texas_dem]

288. I actually liked that one

and was surprised when all the critics piled on to Shymalan (sp?) about it. (Well, I understood the ones who were angry because they believed he had plagiarized a young adult novel to get the storyline, but I didn't agree with the ones bashing the movie's quality.) I felt like a lot of it was critics who had loved his previous movies and thought this one was slightly worse and instead called it out as being a total piece of shit. I actually preferred it quite a bit over the draggy, unremarkable IMHO Signs, but I know I'm quite out of step with the general consensus on that.

[Orsino]

61. Brothers Grimm

No, it's certianly not the worst movie ever, but it was probably my biggest recent disappointment. I'm primed to love Terry Gilliam's work, and bought the DVD as soon as a cheap used copy became available, but this flick is just a mess. A little bit of good spookiness, and wonderful visuals, but the acting? Yeesh. Peter Stormarre and Jonathan Pryce are unfunny caricatures, and though the leads are nice enough, the plot is too confused for them to shine. Monica Bellucci is wasted, too.

Bleah.

[oldcoot]

249. I was also disappointed

I was excited to see this movie because I wanted to see the fairy tales. However, Peter Stormarre and Jonathan Pryce ruined the movie for me.

[Radio_Guy]

64. Grunt the wrestling movie

I was working a second job at a movie theater and actually got paid to see it and make sure the reels were put together properly. But I wasn't paid nearly enough to watch that crap.

[AllegroRondo]

66. Batman and Robin

the only movie that made me walk out of the theater.

[ThomCat]

88. I agree

It was HORRIBLE. I can't believe they let Schumacher ruin Batman and Robin that way, and Poison Ivy, and Bane, and Batgirl, etc.

It's years later and I'm still disgusted by it. What the hell was he thinking?

[underpants]

67. "Reality Bites"

okay maybe not the worst ever but by far the most irritating.

[NaturalHigh]

68. Look Who's Talking.

I saw it in the theater, which means I wasted twelve bucks (tickets for two, many years ago) and two hours that I will never get back.

[RebelOne]

84. That was a fairly funny movie.

Look Who's Talking, Too was the lousy one.

[NewWaveChick1981]

69. Waiting for Guffman

Thank goodness I waited until this hit cable before watching it. I think most of the other movies from that group (Christopher Guest, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, etc.) are either pretty good or not bad, but Waiting for Guffman blew chunks. Big ones. :puke: My husband thinks it's mildly funny, but I think it sucks ass.

[bmbmd]

100. I live in Small Town, America.

I laughed til I cried at "Guffman"-seems like I know all of those characters. (and may, in fact, be some of them from time to time)

[file83]

305. That was funny! It is a unique kind of humor though....

[DanCa]

70. Captain America - or Superman 3.

I forgot the actor who played Captain America, but it was the one with German red skull. Second runner up Superman three. And I say that as someone whose personal hero is Christopher Reeve.

[mac56]

125. Superman Three actually was better than Superman Four.

nm

[terrya]

71. "Armageddon"

EASILY the worst of the recent disaster movies (ala "Independence Day" "Deep Impact" "The Core"). "Armageddon" is a 2 hour piece of shite directed by Michael "I'm a talentless hack, but they keep giving me $100 million+ to turn out more stupid, insipid drivel anyway" Bay.

There isn't one, not one, redeeming feature of this crapfest. One dimensional, cardboard characters you don't give a damn about, some of the worst dialogue ever in a motion picture and a storyline that's just hackneyed. Actually, all of the disaster movies I mentioned earlier are crap..."Deep Impact" seemed to be the least crappiest.

But "Armageddon" is the absolute nadir. Because when you hand a multi-million dollar film budget to a "director" who should be relegated to doing Diet Pepsi commercials, shite will certainly ensue.

[windlight]

75. I agree with most

Of what you say in this 'film'... I would like to add that i thought the movie so dumb that i all but predicted the next line in the 'film' and the next scene and the whole 'plot' after about 5 mins into the film... if it wasn't for my friend that bought the tickets i would have walked out with great fan fair 45min into the movie (prob even less)

[Jade Fox]

139. Oh yea!! Walked out on that one....

when watching it began to feel like some sort of torture.

[ghostsofgiants]

157. Michael Bay = awful

Michael Bay + Jerry Bruckheimer = Crime against humanity

[CoffeeCat]

210. Yes! "Armageddon", for sure. That's the first move I thought of...

...when I saw the "Worst Movie Ever" thread.

I can't say enough about how awful "Armageddon" was. I truly felt as if it WAS the end of the world, as I sat through
every agonizing minute.

There are probably movies that are worse. However, so much wasted money was sunk into this stinker. I could have
made a better movie with my camera phone. To throw that much money at such a horrible movie---well, it's a crime.

I have only walked out of one movie--this one. After Ben Afleck got out his animal crackers and began making goo-goo
talk with them on his girlfriend's stomach, I said, "I'm frickin outta here!" Anyone else remember that scene?

The fact that the animal cracker scene was even THOUGHT OF--is hilarious. I can't believe it wasn't cut out of the script or
that it survived editing!

I agree with everyone else...Michael and Jerry are the nimrods of Hollywood. Their movies are million-dollar trash.

Sorry to be so biting about this...but I'm still miffed that I paid $7 to see it! :)

[LiviaOlivia]

245. I walked out on "Deep Impact"

Terrible shit. Glad I didn't pay out to watch "Armageddon"

[InvisibleTouch]

270. I loved it. But...

...that's a matter of personal taste.

I can perhaps find you one redeeming feature, in a roundabout way. Look for a song called "Remember Me" by Journey. It was written to be the end-theme to Armageddon, and the real crime is that it was never used. Instead they used some stupid other theme ("I don't want to miss a thing," or some-such) throughout the movie, and it sucked. "Remember Me" summed up the ending beautifully, and I actually came to like the movie more after having heard the song.

[Dukkha]

302. This movie made me envy the blind & deaf!

so craptactular it defies logic how it could've been made. Even the laziest Hollywood hack couldn't abide by this travesty! I actually felt myself getting dumber as I watched it.

[DanCa]

73. Passion of the Christ.

Cmon the previews were enough to make me hurl. Wait - we said movie didn't we - and not a Mel Gibson wet dream.

[cssmall]

232. I can agree with that.

One thing I just don't understand about Christianity is the obession with watching Christ being tried, convicted, beaten to an inch of his life, forced to drag his cross and then nailed to it. I understand the representation and what it all means and all, but damn man, most put more stock in the tweleve stations of Christ than in the message.

[gollygee]

74. Hot to Trot starring Bobcat Goldthwait

oh god was that bad

[Ron Mexico]

79. Life Stinks (Mel Brooks)

Not a bad idea behind it, but my God, did that movie fucking suck.

[BigMcLargehuge]

81. I got a whole list of em, but of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

made me want to burn down the multiplex. Here is the opening of my review -

The English language does not contain enough negative adjectives to describe this movie.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen will forever live at the top of several important film lists, and I don’t mean the AFI best films of the decade either. No. Steven Norrington’s abomination is notable not only for adding to the list of current films based on popular comic books,but for topping the the list of terrible film adaptations of comic books, the list of bad Sean Connery movies, the list of great cinematic mistakes, the list of films that show a staggering geographic, historical, and literary ignorance, the list of films that openly hate their audience, and finally, the list of films so bad everyone involved in the production should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen isn’t a film, it’s an ordeal.

http://www.horrorview.com/League%20of%20Extraordinary%20shame.htm

Here is the full list. "Evil Remains" is new, posted just this week.

http://www.horrorview.com/hall%20of%20shame.htm

[hippiechick]

132. I fell asleep at that one ...

:rofl: So it really had to suck rocks.

[Zookeeper]

262. You beat me to it!

I was taking the Zoo kids to the movies and we were arrived too late to see our first choice. I remembered reading a review of LEG that said, "It's good old-fashioned family fun!" So, we decided to give it a try. BIG mistake. When we walked out, even my (at the time) nine-year old said, "Wow, that was really bad."

It's also a great example of how useless movie ratings can be. We saw "Whale Rider" around the same time, which was rated PG-13 because the protaganist's slacker uncle has a hash pipe in one scene (which he quickly hid when she walked into the room). LEG was also rated PG-13 for any number of obvious reasons, like bloody vampire lust scenes.

[sakabatou]

82. MANOS: The Hands of Fate

[elshiva]

283. I second Manos: Hands of Fate.

[eeyore]

89. Gladiator!

That movie was 3+ hours of sheer torture. Hire a fucking editor, and a decent scriptwriter while you're at it.

I want my time back!

:bounce:

[Lautremont]

90. Forrest Gump

was the worst movie I have ever seen in the theatre, and I've seen an awful lot of them. I reviewed movies professionally for six or seven years and have written two books on the subject, but have never encountered a worse movie than "Forrest Gump."

[blindpig]

95. Red Dawn, Mission to Mars.

I'm sure there are worse but I seldom watch movies.

[UCLA02]

171. Respectfully disagree re Red Dawn.

It is quite dated now as cinema, granted, but it was quite prescient 20 yrs ago as to events today.

I used the uber-patriotic Red Dawn model to argue against the Iraq war to my fundie father in law. Asked him who in the film the good guys were, who the bad guys were, (setting him up, of course), then proceded to make the analogy to those "evil insurgents" who are hiding in the hills, so to speak, fighting against us trying to liberate/occupy them. He stammered to make a distinction, but none was forthcoming.

I recommend that line of reasoning toward any my-country-right-or-wrong myopics.

[blindpig]

185. Ah, but the specifics

were a shit train of RW wet dreams. Cubans invading from Mexico, Soviet paratroopers going first for a gun sellers records, I can't remember what else(it's been 20+years!). I remember lame acting, cardboard characters and a virtually dualistic pov. Gods, that movie was a joke. And all of that not long after the disaster of Reagan's win. Boy, was I pissed.

But I see your point, and stripped of the specifics the case can surely be made. However, someone arguing the RW pov might throw some of those specifics back at you:"but, but we didn't confiscate their guns." Or, "but we're not the Russians! We're bringing them freedom!"

Generally speaking I agree with you, one man's terrorists/insurgent is another man's freedom fighter, depending upon who's getting invaded.

[file83]

306. Red Dawn?? That's a CLASSIC!!! It's got young American girls

conducting terrorist activities (bombing buildings) - That's HOT!

[SteppingRazor]

96. House of 1,000 Corpses...

Your music kicks ass, Rob, but for God's sake, get out of the movie business

[Ryano42]

98. Only thing in the movie I really liked...

Fried Chicken and Gasoline!

[Maddy McCall]

201. We love it and the sequel, The Devil's Rejects!

Definitely future "cult classics."

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

208. House of 1,000 Corpses was decent, but The Devels Rejects was great.

[seaglass]

99. Birth. With Nicole Kidman. She had a cute haircut and that

was the best part of the movie.

[Kerrytravelers]

148. Istarted watching it on cable right before she jumped in the bathtub

with the kid who was the reincarnation of her dead husband. That totally creeped me out.

[seaglass]

163. Yeah it was disgusting and a stupid movie to boot. What was

Kidman thinking?

[Kerrytravelers]

168. I didn't see the whole movie- just caught some on HBO.

The dialog may have read well off the page. The concept is interesting. But the bathtub? That would have caused me to say "no" right there. Ick. And I love Nicole Kidman.

Was Birth a stage play first? Sometimes things that work on a stage don't translate well to screen, such as Faithful http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116269/ with Cher, Chazz Palminteri and Ryan O'Neal. Decent stage play that just didn't translate well onto screen- even with the original writer, Chazz Palminteri writing and starring.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

102. Me and You and Everyone We Know

The last film that made me that angry was Batman & Robin.

[distantearlywarning]

103. Dungeons and Dragons.

OMG, was that a bad, bad, stupid movie. A total waste of $7.50.

And I just saw a sequel to it in the video store the other day. WTF?? I'm pretty geeky and a gamer myself and I wouldn't even rent the sequel. I just have to ask, who are their target audience members????

[hholli11]

104. Moulin Rouge...and I have a Music Degree!!!

My GAWD I thought it was awful.

just awful.

[alarcojon]

143. I agree, it blew

[bleedingheart]

105. I can't remember the title...but it was a foreign film

and it had to do with these conquistadors who come over from Spain to someplace in S America...and there were these midget native indians...and it was so bizarre...I can't remember the title for the life of me...

My husband and I rented it and we watched it to the painful ending...and it was so abysmal that we were in shock from watching it....we had no idea what the hell the point of that movie was...

[Lautremont]

229. You're not talking about Aguirre: The Wrath of God, are you?

[bleedingheart]

243. no not that movie...

this one looked to be staged more in a desert location...

It was really bizarre...

[Earth_First]

108. Gummo (1997)

[eyepaddle]

110. Wow, did that movie suck.

Just because something is unpleasant, doesn't make it art. Do you hear me Mr Korine?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

149. Ouch. AWFUL movie, but actually.....

....."Julian Donkey Boy" by the same director may in fact be worse.

[file83]

307. That movie tried SO hard to be like Richard Linklater's "Slacker"

but it lacked any interesting dialogue.

[eyepaddle]

109. Ooooh, there's a lot of competition for this, I humbly submit

Greaser's Palace.



Here's an example of the dialogue:

"I bring you a message. Exactly six miles north of Skagg Mountain in the Valley of Pain, there lives an evil devil-monster. His name is Bingo Gas Station Motel Cheeseburger With A Side Of Aircraft Noise And You'll Be Gary Indiana. And he loves to hurt people. The last time I saw Bingo Gas Station Motel Cheeseburger With A Side Of Aircraft Noise And You'll Be Gary Indiana, he told me what he wants to do. He wants to come down here and kill each and every one of you. But I said to him: 'Bingo, wait a minute!'. And the reason I said that is because I believe in you people. I believe you can do the job. I believe you can help each other. I believe you can make this world a better place to live in. That's it".

[allalone]

280. no are you joking?

is this really some of the dialogue?

[Nikia]

111. Very Bad Things

It was a very bad thing. My husband and I watched it in a movie theater. We both wanted to leave but thought that the other was enjoying it at the time.

[The2ndWheel]

112. Tango and Cash

In the theater. Granted, I was 12ish when that movie came out, but still. That was allowance money I'm never getting back!

[Rob H.]

dupe deleted

Hated it so much I listed it twice. ;)

[Rob H.]

113. "Boxing Helena"

Thirteen years later, I still give a hard time to the friend who dragged me to see that godawful piece of shit.

[MountainMama]

114. I got one

No, two.

You must get drunk and watch "The Conqueror" sometime. It has John Wayne and Susan Hayward. John Wayne IS Genghis Khan and Hayward is, I believe, an Egyptian princess. Very, very bad.

The other is "Surf Nazis Must Die!" Anyone know that flick?

[eyepaddle]

120. Surf Nazis Must Die?!?

Wow, that sounds so bad I must say I am intrigued.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[LostinVA]

128. "The Conqueror" literally killed many of the actors in that film

Or rather, the US Government did. They didn't tell the studio that there was huge atomic fallout in that area from tests, and a very large number died from cancers: Wayne, Hayward, and Agnes Moorhead, most notedly. The latter very publicly talked about this. Just an FYI.

And yeah, it's a horrible movie...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

130. That's the one I was thinking of!

I remember reading about the atomic fallout some time ago, but couldn't remember the name of the movie or the people in it.

Thanks! :hi:

[LostinVA]

134. You're welcome!

[MountainMama]

224. Thanks for the welcome!

And also for the comments about the tragedy that ended up coming from that movie. I couldn't remember the whole story behind that. I imagine the location did hasten or help cause the deaths of those cast members.

Anyway, it's very bad.

If you're interested in Surf Nazis Must Die!, here's a link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094077/

[Sequoia]

115. Risky Business

couldn't even finish it. Creepy.

[file83]

309. That movie represented the "Republican Dream" to the letter.

[SethInUpstateNY]

118. I usually like most of Bill Murray's movies,

but "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" had to be one of the most pointless and boring movies I've ever rented. I turned it off after about 45 minutes because I couldn't take watching it anymore.

[tjwash]

122. I felt the same way about "Adaptation"

[alarcojon]

144. I'm gonna have to throw "Lost in Translation" in there

either I didn't "get it," or it just plain sucked.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

152. If you watched it after all the praise it got or saw it on DVD or VHS...

....that explains it. You have to kind of bump into that type of movie, not be told beforehand how good it is.

[smitty]

214. There's so many candidates;

but I'll go with "Ishtar" followed by "Godfather III" (all the more disappointing because I and II were so good). "Waterworld" and "The Postman" were utter crap too. Then there was that cartoon version of "Lord of the Rings" made in 1978 by Ralph Bakshi, a whole new level of awfulness.

[fujiyama]

317. Godfather III

may not have been as bad, were it not for Sophia Coppala's terrible acting. Originally they had intended to cast Winona Ryder.

That and the disgusting incest sub plot. That was pretty fucked up.

[file83]

310. You either LOVE Wes Anderson movies, or you don't. I bet you $50

you didn't like "The Royal Tenenbaums", did you?

[tjwash]

119. A french subtiltled film called "The Piano Teacher"

It was one of those films that you rent and wonder what the hell you were thinking by renting it.

[RumpusCat]

123. Eyes Wide Shut

I can't believe no one has mentioned this one! What a HORRIBLE freaking movie--Cruise and Kidman just made my skin crawl the whole time. I wanted to find the guy playing the tinkly piano theme and crush his fingers. :thumbsdown:

The funniest terrible movie I've ever seen is Troll 2. It's so bad it goes from 'lol this is bad' to 'actually, it's just bad, what's going on here' to 'suckiness-induced fuge state where it's funny again.' You need at least three snarky friends and a case of beer to make it thru this one.

[Babette]

166. Was that the one where the kid pees on the dinner table?

In order to save his family!?

That was hilarious!

I got the feeling from it and the original Troll that they had a sense of humor about it. Not quite in the same league as Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (but not all the sequels) but still slightly intentionally funny.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

211. Oooh, I forgot about that until you mentioned it.

And I actually bought the DVD 'cause it was on sale and I hadn't seen it yet...

So I can say I OWNED that one.

[DJ MEW]

215. I couldn't agree with you more

although for a porno it had a supprisingly complicated plot with A list stars.

[barb162]

320. that was a bad movie

[Alleycat]

126. Constantine sucked pretty bad.

Don't know if it was the worst of all time but I just could not watch it. I had to turn it off.

[cynatnite]

297. I liked it until the last 20 minutes..

then it left me frustrated because I felt shortchanged with the ending. I only paid a few bucks for a used DVD, but it'll go in the rotating DVD collection before long.

[LostinVA]

129. Exit to Eden

Even a decent cast couldn't save this...

[long_green]

194. Oh, God are you right...

I can take bad, but bad and pleased with itself (which should be the title of Anne Rice's biography) is unbearable.

[LostinVA]

198. I know! And, Dana Delany can rescue almost anything... but this???

[hippiechick]

131. Vanilla Sky

I. just. don't. get. it. :shrug:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

150. And can someone tell me what the hell Penelope Cruz........

....was saying half the time?

Aside from Cameron Diaz as an awesome psycho bitch, that movie had nothing going for it.

[Gold Metal Flake]

133. Howard The Duck.

Fuckers took me for two tickets.

[cheezus]

137. crazy|beautiful

I wanted to leave, but I was there with my wife and her friends. I played palmpilot games for the last half of the movie.

[bedazzled]

140. summer of sam - i didn't last 5 minutes before i left the theater

i slunk out, averting my eyes. i was ashamed to have paid money to see that movie. my personal low - i was literally embarrassed to be seen walking out.

i thought cool world stunk, too. i rarely walk out of movies, but that was another one...

[lpbk2713]

141. The Postman - Kevin Costner

In a class all by itself.

Why is it that Costner is in so many duds?

[file83]

311. I liked the premise of that movie - but the execution fell way short.

But by no means would I consider it in the "worst" category.

[Kerrytravelers]

145. Do You Wanna know A Secret?

Saw this last Sunday morning at 7 am on Cinemax. Thankfully, I didn't pay a rental price for it. I know I'd never pay a theater price (and it most likely didn't play one showing in a theater!)


Summary from http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=2771554&from1=QUIV#customer_reviews
Hank (Joseph "Joey" Lawrence) and his girlfriend Beth (Dorie Barton) are among six college coeds who venture to Florida for Spring Break. Beth's tortured past catches up with her when the friends are systematically murdered by a killer adorned in a robe and mask, much in the same way a previous boyfriend was slain. The macho Hank and two Floridian policemen (Jeff Conaway and Jack McGee) are out to stop the killer, but only the revelation of a hidden secret will end his murderous rampage.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267440/


"As a night out on the town turns into a nightmare, six young college students must fight for their lives as a killer hunts them down."


From the film's Message Board:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267440/board/nest/14853461
This film was so much of a cliche with terrible characters, plot, script and special effects it was quite funny really. unfortunately the ending was so drawn out and boring I cant say any of those points were advantages. I cant understand how can someone make a film like this...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

151. "Night at the Roxbury"

Thirty seconds after it started, I began to ask myself why I paid $5.50 to see it.

[Zookeeper]

265. I tried to watch it for free on t.v.....

it was one of the most un-funny ten minutes of my life.

[fujiyama]

318. I remember renting that one

with a bunch of friends (and I doubt they had great taste in films) but even they decided that ten minutes was too much.

[Arugula Latte]

156. Patch Adams.

God that was painful to watch. x(

[Skittles]

234. OMG I WATCHED THAT WHILE DONATING PLATELETS

or I should say TRIED TO WATCH IT.....I tell you if a doctor ever behaved that way around me I would physically harm him

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

246. Agreed. took my mom for mothers day: she loved it

Worst thing I've ever seen.

[flamingyouth]

158. Eegah!

Yes, we rented it.

Also, we rented "Hard Rock Zombies" for some unknown reason.

[Fenris]

187. Eeagah?

We didn't watch that.

[flamingyouth]

190. I did, in a previous life

Let me sum it up for you, so you don't have to watch it:

"Modern" kids from the '60s get into an accident an almost hit a caveman. Sucky movie ensues. The end.

[Fenris]

191. Ah.

I see.

[flamingyouth]

192. Imagine a less interesting Hard Rock Zombies

But with a caveman.

[Fenris]

193. Hard to imagine anything less interesting that "HRZ"

[Lautremont]

231. Shave DOWN!

159. "Titanic" anyone?

Hackneyed, predictable plot and stereotyped, one- dimensional characters. Thought it was very boring.

My husband's dad saw it and during Roses' attempted suicide scene, he kept saying, "Jump! JUMP"!

[Kerrytravelers]

172. Thank you!

I hated that movie so damn much! The best part was when the damn boat sank because it meant the movie was almost over. It was a bad rendition of Romeo and Juliet on water. It stunk, stunk, stunk. And all these little 14 year old girls kept going back to the theater to see Leo.

And Billy Zane's lines? Oh, dear God. They were so flat. I started cracking up when he went after them with the gun.

The actual story of the Titanic sinking is so interesting. Why make a formula love story out of it? There are so any stories to tell, but this was nothing more than the typical "wrong side of the tracks" story. AGGGG!!!

And I absolutely love Kate Winslet and like Leonardo DiCaprio. It was hard to watch them in this. She looked like a woman and he looked like some teen boy she was seducing. They were an odd match up.

And then, to win best picture? I do believe money had something to do with the win. I don't think they paid off anybody. What I mean is, this was one of the rare times that multiple studios got together and dropped such a huge amount of cash ito a project together. If this wins best pic, then in the future, producers (who are the ones that work on getting financing for films, among other things) can say "Look, dropping huge amounts of cash pays off. See Titanic?" The following years, some very expensive films were made using the same logic... and they turned into some major flops.

This year, as we all saw, quality films made it to the oscars that didn't necessarily cost so much to make.

Hey, I live in Los Angeles. We're surrounded by this stuff.

[begin_within]

182. They should edit out the cast, and make a good 2-hr documentary out of it.

165. Date Movie

It didn't help that I had to see it twice, and it sucked the first time!

[SaveElmer]

170. Gone with the Wind...

Overdramatic crap...and oh yeah I feel real sorry for a bunch of rich white southern slaveholders!!!

Yeah "Tomorrow is another day"...and its gonna suck as bad as this one!!!

[Kerrytravelers]

173. I thought I was the only one.

One of my roommates in college LOVED GWTW. She had the movie, the collector books, the freakin' Franklin Mint dolls... oh dear God, I hate that movie.

[SaveElmer]

175. I had a girlfriend in college the same exact way...

She was from West Virginia...brought all of this GWTW memorabilia to her dorm room, the dolls, posters...everything...

Ugh...I pretended to like it though...you know!

I'm so sad to admit that I too saw the movie. Horrible. Worst. Movie. Ever.

[Hissyspit]

209. "Grease" without ...

any fun.
any nostalgia.
good music.
interesting characters.
creativity.
imagination.

Other than that...

[Feron]

217. This is the only movie...

that I couldn't finish. An absolute waste of film.

[Rabrrrrrr]

176. Star Trek: Nemesis; Star Trek: First Contact; Ultraviolet; Top Gun

[AmyDeLune]

197. Hope for a director's cut of Ultraviolet

The studio took the finished film (with an R rating) and chopped somewhere between 30-40 minutes worth of footage out (including most of that pesky "plot" thing) to get a PG-13 rating. *sigh*:cry:

[Nikia]

207. I liked all the Star Trek Next Generation movies

Even if they weren't excellent, they were still decent because the characters and actors were good. Movies I tend to think suck usually have lousy characters, with whom I cannot identify. I am not sure if the movies would stand well on their own if I was not familiar with all the Next Generation characters already. I have have some of the movies, including First Contact. I'll have to watch it soon and try to look at it that way.

[begin_within]

177. Forget "Leonard Part 6"

[begin_within]

178. Forget "Shanghai Surprise"

[begin_within]

179. Forget "Spice World"

[begin_within]

180. Forget "Anus Magillicutty"

[Stevendsmith]

189. Brazil

[Redneck Socialist]

227. Whaaaaa?!

I love that movie!

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

244. I can only hope he saw the bastardized "Love Conquers All" edit

Such a good film.

[file83]

312. Brazil was a MASTERPIECE! What are you thinkin?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

195. I allowed a friend to drag me to the second "Jurassic Park" movie.

When he's on his deathbed and the doctor says he's got two hours to live, I'm gonna cut his throat. To get even.

[Kerrytravelers]

271. So, not a big fan of Jurassic Park, huh?

:spray: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[long_green]

196. Great White

a "Jaws" ripoff that was so shameless that Spielberg sued it out of the theater. I actually saw it before it was pulled. Wow. It stars Vic Morrow and James Fransiscus. Vic Morrow plays "Quint" and looks like he's been on a six-month bender.
I got to talking about it with a friend of mine who also saw it in the theater (he grew up in a different state) and my roommate, who was online and listening to us at the same time, got on eBay and found a pirated copy of it with an Italian title (l'Ultimo Squallo, or The Last Shark)and Japanese subtitles. The good news, after all this time, is that the movie was much worse than I remember.

[Ron Mexico]

200. I asked my wife this question today.

Her answer changes from time to time, but today's entry is "Master of Disguise," a wretched Dana Carvey movie.

[Kerrytravelers]

272. Mr. kt's never changes. Darkman. And we love Liam Neeson.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099365/

I think he'd rather be stuck in a room with the BFEE than forced to watch Darkman again- that's how much he resents the loss of two hours he can never gt back.

[BlueManDude]

204. Godfather III

Sophia Coppola belongs behind the camera.

[LeftyMom]

205. Nemesis.

Even Patrick Stewart could not save this movie. It's fucking awful.

[DJ MEW]

212. Collateral

With Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. I went to the theater and watched that movie and wow did it suck. That scene where the cyote crosses the road, which felt like it took 10 minutes, still has me confused to this day. This movie replaces Stargate as my worst movie pick.

[Blue Belle]

218. Tie: "Congo" and "Island of Dr. Murrow"

OMG... If I could only get those hours of my life back. I didn't realize that the movies could be so painful.

[Redneck Socialist]

226. Thank you, thank you, thank you

Island...sucked so bad it bent light. Never saw congo.

[Blue Belle]

239. Congo was pretty bad...

It was supposed to be about a Gorilla... and it literally looked like a guy in a Gorilla suit that you would see at a kid's birthday party. Terrible acting. Terrible script. TERRIBLE special effects.

[allalone]

281. guess what

Congo the book was just as dreadful.

[Blue Belle]

220. If not being able to stay 15 minutes in the theater to watch it...

are criteria, then I must say "Marrying Man". It harkens back to the days when Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin could actually stand to be in the same room.

[Art_from_Ark]

221. What? No one has mentioned "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"?

They don't get much worse than that!

Of course, there's "Night of the Lepus" about giant killer rabbits (which were just cute bunnies hopping slow motion through an obvious miniature set) was pretty bad, too!

[MountainMama]

223. Night of the Lepus!

I have told people about that movie and they've looked at me like I was high. I've seen parts of it; it's hysterical!!

I mean, they weren't serious, were they?

[begin_within]

255. George Clooney now says he regrets doing "Return of the Killer Tomatoes."

[allalone]

282. yeah, but that's good bad

[SaintLouisBlues]

222. Pay It Forward

I wanted to walk out---even though I was watching it on an airplane.

[Skittles]

236. I agree, pretty f***ing bad all the way around

very bad

[oldcoot]

253. I felt the same way about "A Cinderella Story"

When I fly long distances, I like to watch movies to pass the time. I was able to watch "A Cinderella Story" for free. I swear that Hilary Duff is one of the worse actresses I have ever seen.

I also got to see Mel Gibson's "The Patriot" for free on an airplane. I also thought I paid too much for that movie.

[Kerrytravelers]

273. Wow. It must be bad to drive you to suicidal thoughts.

[Odin2005]

225. 1. Waterworld

2. Mario Brothers: The Movie. :puke:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

228. I don't know about ever, but the remake of Godzilla was bad.

:popcorn:

[Vektor]

230. American Beauty

Absolute fucking contrived drivel.

[file83]

313. Yeah, but, that's only because SO MANY movies copied that style

afterwards. When it came out, it was totally original. Watching it again, now, I can see how it would appear to be contrived. Think about how many movies AFTER American Beauty came out with "America" in their titles.

[Vektor]

319. It wasn't just that, though.

I saw it in the theater and thought it was the worst thing I'd ever seen, even back then. Just foul. it wasn't a matter of the word "America" in the title by any means, it was just a really lame movie, I thought.

[fleabert]

237. Sin City, History of Violence, and the Springer movie.

flame away on the first two Loungers! I've lived thru it before...;-)

[pitohui]

250. here's another vote for sin city

christ there is a movie w. no redeeming qualities whatsoever

you know what, i just don't care how arty it is when the dog eats the dude's face or the whore's heads get cut off, i don't need to see that

the stripper is too holy to take off her clothes but they show us dogs eating a guy's face

sin city -- yeah, i'll go along with that for worst movie ever

[Kerrytravelers]

274. I was very bothered by the violence in Sin City.

We walked out. We went on opening night because we're fans of Benicio Del Toro and Elijah Wood (come on, who doesn't love a Hobbit?)

The violence bothered me so much, I actually had trouble sleeping. I kept reliving what I saw over and over again.

I appreciate the cinematography and what they were attempting to do. I just had no idea it would be so gruesome. Violence for sake os story I can deal with, but this was showing acts of torture for entertainment.

Anyway, it really bothered me. And now that it's on cable, I have to be very mindful not to flip channels without scanning the on screen guide first. I have caught bits flipping and it brings it all back in my head.

I also can not see Saw or Saw II. I've caught some on cable while flipping and it sticks in my head.

Mr. kt calls me his little fawn because I get so timid around such films, but he'd rather I be a fawn than someone who isn't bothered at all by violence (you know, like rabid * supporters who think Abu Graib is just fine and dandy!)

[fleabert]

285. Exactly why I left the theater as well. by myself.

left two friends and the dh to see the rest. the role of women in the film was horrendous. I can't get the images out of my mind either, and I am not usually squeamish.

[Blue Belle]

240. The Pall Bearer.

WOW. What a crappy flick.

[bettyellen]

294. my friend michael played the corpse in that

[Ohio Joe]

242. Freejack

This is the only movie i've ever walked out on.

[Catfight]

247. The Whale Rider. I thought it was degrading, immoral and treated

little girls horribly. The grandfather's contempt for a little girl's spirit was a horrible movie for any little girl to see.

[Faygo Kid]

254. "Gods and Generals;" "Bewitched"

Plenty more bad ones, many cited here, but I could not let such a list go by without two movies I looked forward to that were beyond crap and should not have been.

[Blue Belle]

257. Dirty Dancing

Flame away all you want... but that movie sucked.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

263. I hated the music in that movie

And I don't often have feelings of hatred towards movie sound tracks. "I've had the time of my life" makes my skin crawl, every time I hear it. And the other big hit from that movie, "She's like the wind" becomes "She cuts the wind" in my mind every time I hear it.

Another creepy dance movie that I didn't care for was Saturday Night Fever, although I am probably one of the few people who liked the soundtrack and the BeeGees' "Stayin' Alive". Even though I grew up playing rock and roll guitar and became a jazz guitar player, I look back fondly on disco music for its R&B qualities, even though it was more packaged and clean that real soul music. Still, it had its roots in soul, unlike much of today's pop music vomit.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

268. Intersection

Anyone ever see this? It was this wretched Richard Gere movie that came out about 10-12 years ago. Dumbest thing ever. :puke:

[Kerrytravelers]

275. Seen it. Well, bits and pieces several times.

Every time it's on cable and I turn it on- I fall asleep. Not a ringing endorsement, if you ask me!

[Zookeeper]

269. Yellowbeard.

(1983) With Graham Chapman, Peter Boyle, Cheech and Chong, Peter Cook, Marty Feldman, Eric Idle, Madeline Kahn, James Mason, John Cleese, and Susannah York, how could it miss? It did, big time, and the fact that it had such a great cast made it all the more disturbing.

I seldom walk out on a movie I've paid to see, but I did with this one. It was agonizing.

[vixengrl]

276. I know this is waaayyyy down on a long list,

but I hated the hell out of "Van Helsing." And I usually like schlocky monster flicks, but this movie was just...confused. I recently saw "Big Momma's House II"--I think the only thing good coming out of that movie is someone's bookie got paid. Am I the only one who noticed boom mikes hovering down at the tops of some of the scenes? And then there was the lack of continuity. The ugly transition scenes. The way everything was contrived to milk a sight gag. And I still don't really know why I sat through "The Pianist." I think it was peer pressure--my boyfriend at the time took me to "important" movies. 1993 goes down as the year I saw too much of Harvey Keitel's schmeckle. But for movies I just plain got up and walked out on, there was "The Cook, the The Theif, his Wife and Her Lover". I can "usually" tell the difference between "dark humor" and "gratuituous crapulence."

[allalone]

277. lost in translation

[last_texas_dem]

289. Glad I'm not the only one

Maybe not the absolute worst but definitely the most overhyped, overrated film of all time IMHO.

[file83]

314. I lived in Japan - and I LOVED lost in translation. It's a Japan thing.

[lovelaureng]

279. This is so easy,

Jerry Maguire, without question.
:puke:

[mconvente]

284. bubble boy - hands down

fucking most retarded movie ever... donnie darko sucks too!

[Kerrytravelers]

290. But I do love me that Jake Gyllenhaal. Yummy...

And he's a huge supporter of the ACLU! Here he is with the fam at a ACLU benefit! http://www.jakegyllenhaal.com/index2.html

[La Lioness Priyanka]

291. titanic

[Kerrytravelers]

293. Yep. You have agreement on Titanic.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4899438#4905597

I was so damn happy when that stupid boat sank. The movie was almost over.

[Kerrytravelers]

292. The Razzies highlight the worst of the worst as well! Here is 2005's list!

Quite a well deserved list, too, I might add!

[nguoihue]

295. Predictably boring, boring, boring

Any or all of the Mr. Bean movies.

[cynatnite]

298. The Hulk

Big ICK! :puke:

[Pryderi]

299. Heaven's Gate

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

301. Wow

I respect your opinon and am not trying to be a contrarian just for the sake of it, but I liked Heaven's Gate. I thought it was a very radical leftie movie in its depiction of how immigrants and the lower classes were treated by the landholding upper class. I agree with those who argue that the movie was too long and sometimes snail-paced, but I thought it was a masterpiece, although a flawed one. The roller-skating scene alone was worth the price of admission to me.

[Pryderi]

303. I thought the movie "Tess" was pretty bad too.

[file83]

315. I agree - Heaven's Gate was EPIC!!

[RPM]

300. Vision Quest

stinking pile of dung

[PassingFair]

308. DRUIDS

Although I MUST admit that "The Village" stunk up the screen, as did

"Flight Plan" TOTALLY laughable and, of course,

my recent WORST PICK:
"The Forgotten"
