What is the absolute worst movie you've ever seen?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

Batman and Robin. Seeing the Dark Knight makes me so sure of that. "What killed the Dinosaurs? The ICE age" and the part where Mr. Freeze is trying to get his gang of hardened criminals to sing "I'm Mr. White Christmas" from "A Year Without a Santa Claus" clinch it.

[bicentennial_baby]

1. In a theater? The Planet of the Apes remake...

The Ex and I walked out 1/3rd of the way through. Boooo!

[sniffa]

10. You're crazy

The only movie I've ever walked out on is, "Nightmare Before Christmas."

[Orrex]

49. Wow--you're cooler than I thought

Everyone I know thinks that Nightmare Before Christmas is the absolute most bestest thing in the whole world ever. I, in contrast, think that it's yet another unremarkable turd on the steaming heap that is Tim Burton's career.

[WCGreen]

188. Both were better wait until TV movies...

Tim Burton is either really good, Batman, or really bad, Planet of The Apes...

[DarkTirade]

52. ... you actually paid money for that?

I watched it on TV and laughed at everyone who paid money to see it. :P

[bicentennial_baby]

67. Shut up!

x(

[DarkTirade]

71. Actually, come to think of it, I never actually watched it all in one sitting.

I just caught enough bits and pieces of it to see the whole thing. :P

[kick-ass-bob]

161. MOPI

My Own Private Idaho.

I paid a dollar to see it in a theater, and grossly overpaid for it.

That's the only one I've ever walked out of.

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. Either Carousel or Frankenstein meets the Spacemonster.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

4. Well, there are a lot of bad movies that I have seen made watchable by MST3K.

[Fire Walk With Me]

6. I didn't include any of the ones they've tempered through humor

and I'd love for them to forever alter my experience with the two that I've listed. FMTSM was amusing to a degree for various reasons, but overall leaves one shaking.

Santa Claus versus the Martians is another, which although I've seen the MST3K version and laughed my ass off, still hurts (saw it as a young child and was pained even at the time!)

[CreekDog]

33. including Independence Day

:rofl:

http://rifftrax.com/rifftrax/independence-day

[kat_kringle]

3. probably 'teenage cavemen'

it's this about these closeted, basically 'cave men' primitive teenagers, that find this couple that know about drugs, and sex, and eternal life, which is an alright idea, as it becomes a very traditional: 'do we try these new and exciting ways of living, even if they'll kill us? or do we go back to the old way of life and be bored? '

anyways, what made it really bad, was the filming, the acting, and well, pretty much everything else.

i think that was the worst movie i ever saw.

that and it's a wonderful life

well. anything with jimmy stewart that's probably not a hitchcock film, i have issues with.

[mcctatas]

5. Anything with Jim Carey in it...

for some reason just the sight of him inspires violent fantasies in my evil mind!

[jobycom]

24. He would have made Lord of the Rings watchable, even by your criteria.

:)

[ghostsofgiants]

87. I disagree.

His films range from great (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) to worst evar (The Number 23). I loved Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, also.

[sakabatou]

133. Another good one was

"The Truman Show"

[Seedersandleechers]

7. Crash

Not the one that got best picture, but the other one from 1996 with James Spader.

[jobycom]

25. Heh. I watched a couple of minutes of it, and was impressed.

But they were probably the right couple of minutes.

[Monk06]

31. You should watch more Chronenberg. Crash was genius. The Special

Jury Prize at Cannes was created especially to
give recognition to daring and innovative films.

Crash certainly falls into that category.

[yellowdogintexas]

46. Crash was an amazing movie, one I did not think I would like ...one of our ministers

led a two week discussion of it in our SS class so we all rented it and watched it. I watched it twice, to get all the nuances. We had a very lively two weeks of discussion over that

edited to add OOOPS realize now not talking about the good Crash, I haven't seent the Bad Crash, so

as Emily Latella would say: "never mind"

[ghostsofgiants]

88. Yeah, a lot of people conflate a difficult film with a bad film.

Cronenberg is awesome.

[nuxvomica]

44. I think the movie was brilliant

No one does creepy quite like Cronenberg does or with such obvious enthusiasm.

[Mad_Dem_X]

76. Heh - I was gonna say

I flat-out refuse to watch the more recent Crash, simply because it got the Oscar over Brokeback Mountain. Now, the *other* Crash looks...interesting. I love James Spader.

[LibraLiz1973]

95. That was a terrible movie

Right on

[OmahaBlueDog]

143. delete -- wront part of the thread

[Throd]

167. "Hollow Man" with Kevin Bacon

The guy gets the ability to become invisible and what does he do with it? Turns into a rapey pervert.

[sniffa]

8. "The Hulk," "Lost Highway," and now, "Room 6"

Fuck you SciFi Channel!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

23. LOL, the Hulk...remember when he rode that jet into outer space?

[ghostsofgiants]

89. Dude, Lost Highway rules

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. 'The Fan'

Wesley Snipes as a ballplayer who wasn't (cough) supposed to be Barry Bonds and DeNiro as his psychotic devotee.



I forget the director's name, which is just as well, since I prefer to be unacquainted with the people I slaughter.

[bluesbassman]

11. Hands down, Andy Warhol's Frankenstein.

Only movie I ever walked out on. Absolute garbage.

[Lautremont]

116. That's a great movie!

It was made in 3-D and probably needs to be seen that way. Even in 2-D, dialogue like "To know life, Otto, you must fuck death in the gall bladder!" makes it a must-see.

[bluesbassman]

122. I did see it in 3D and I'm into offbeat dialog.

I just didn't find this movie engaging. The acting was so wooden that it wasn't even "campy". I suppose I just don't "get" Warhol. No worries though, I'm glad you like it!:hi:

[Lautremont]

124. No worries indeed!

I certainly respect your opinion - it is a really campy movie, and perilously close to awful a lot of the time. Absolutely not for every taste!

Apparently Warhol had little or nothing to do with it, despite his possessive credit. Not even the credited director, Paul Morrissey, did. Apparently it was made by Italians and kind of co-opted by the Factory crew. Why? Who knows!

But there's some unasked-for trivia on a movie you hated!

[bluesbassman]

128. Thanks for the update!

I feel better now that I know Wahhol didn't have much to do with it. Leaves me hope that someday I'll still be able to "get" Warhol, as that film put such a bad taste in my mouth, I kind of wrote him off.

[China_cat]

138. The 3d one?

I took a friend to see that...the day before she started nursing school.

[China_cat]

139. Highlander II

[Common Sense Party]

150. We need a separate thread for worst sequel

"Sequel that most defecated on the coolness of the original movie" would be a good category.

[FloridaJudy]

12. "The Chipmunk's Great Adventure"

I guarantee that any adult forced to sit through that monstrosity will be very careful about using contraception from then on. Your ears will be bleeding from hearing Alvin and his henchmen massacre "Wooly Bully" - and that's the hight point of the movie.

[fizzgig]

18. i loved that movie when i was a kid!

part of me wants to watch it again, but i don't really want to ruin the memory because i know it's a terrible movie

[SemiCharmedQuark]

21. I couldn't help myself. I bought it on DVD.

:crazy:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

19. LOL, I loved that movie when I was a kid...

[Inspired]

109. Oh man! I loved watching that movie with my kids.

[FloridaJudy]

113. Maybe I'm prejudiced

But the migraine that listening to those screechy characters induced took days to fade. Unfortunately, my son was way too young to drop off at the theater and pick up later, but he seemed to like it.

Speaking of dropping off kids, my son - now in his twenties - saw "Pan's Labyrinth" in a movie theater, where several parents had dropped off their offspring. He told me he felt really sorry for those kids: he was an adult and liked the movie, but it was not suitable for small children! It even gave him nightmares, and he's a horror movie fan.

[SeattleGirl]

13. The Nightmare Before Christmas

Put me to sleep both times I tried to watch it.

A close second would be "Scream".

I didn't fall asleep to that one; instead, I walked out of the theater.

[CreekDog]

34. i dislike Tim Burton movies

just can't see what the big deal is.

[Orrex]

50. Thanks to you, sniffa, and SeattleGirl, this is my all time favorite thread

It's so lonely being a Burton-despiser. How validating at long last to find others of the same opinion!

[Danger Mouse]

54. BLASPHEMER.

[CreekDog]

102. yes, just like Galileo

:rofl:

[Zhade]

152. Except HE was right.

NT!

[LibraLiz1973]

96. Me too. I never get the appeal of them

[Writer]

14. Strange Days...

Very Bad Things being a close second.

[jobycom]

26. Eeek. Strong contenders, especially Very Bad Things. nt

[CreekDog]

35. oh Very Bad Things was a disaster

holy cow.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

65. Strange Days?!

I liked that movie. x(

But Very Bad Things did blow incredible chunks. :puke:

[puerco-bellies]

15. Sing along with me.. "Attack of The Killer To-Ma-Toes"

Wow, just wow.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080391/

[Lil Missy]

16. The one with the laughing and giggling clown that killed people.

Was it called "Mr Giggles"? I'm not sure.

But it was the dumbest god-damned movie I have ever seen in my life.

A runner up is "The Hills Have Eyes", or something like that. Fine if you want nothing but blood and gore and stupidity. But, there is no movie in there.

[XemaSab]

28. The Hills Have Eyes remake is a strong contender for me

The Egyptian vulture clinched it. :o

[XemaSab]

17. End of Days

is a STRONG contender. :P

[Lautremont]

117. I'm with you!

[jobycom]

20. Worst good film, or worst bad film?

The worst film I ever saw was "Yor, the Hunter of the Future." The opening scene panned out over a prehistoric landscape, complete with telephone poles. It got worse from there.

The worst film I saw that everyone seemed to like was "The Return of the King." Longest, most ridiculously pretentious nonsense I've ever seen. Reminded me of what some high school comic book geel would make if you give him a billion dollars and no film training.

Ferris Buehler comes in a close second. Might come in first if I ever watch it again. Same reasons, essentially.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

22. Good point. There's a difference.

The worst movie I ever saw that everyone loved was Spiderman.

[MrScorpio]

27. The new Wicker Man

Why, God, Why?

[SeattleGirl]

30. I've never seen the new one.

The original was a great film.

I think I'm glad I've not seen the new one, even though I adore Nick Cage.

[fishwax]

59. yeah, that movie sucked

[LibraLiz1973]

97. Ha ha, I posted the same thing down thread before I read yours

It was AWFUL wasn't it?
Painful to watch

[MonkeyFunk]

29. The 13th Warrior

God, it was awful. I just went for Antonio Banderas - didn't realize it was a movie he had made years earlier and sucked so bad it wasn't released. Then, he got "big" and they released it.

[CreekDog]

32. Full Frontal

Man that sucked and considering who was involved with it, it should have been at least watchable. :eyes: :rant: :wtf:

[terrya]

36. "Armageddon"

I'm not going to say something like "Plan 9 from Outer Space" , which is considered to be the worst movie ever made...because that's so easy. "Plan 9" had a tiny budget and I think Ed Wood, Jr. had his heart in the right place.

On the other hand, there is no excuse for a piece of shit like "Armageddon". They had a huge fucking budget, a big name cast...and it still turned out to be a horrible piece of shit that I resented wasting 2+ hours of my life on. I place a lot of blame for "Armageddon" on the director. Michael Bay has no business directing movies, because he's a hack director. If you're given $100 million, #200 million to direct a movie, you don't turn out dreck. Which Michael Bay regularly turns out. "Armageddon" is especially bad.

[sammythecat]

163. I agree. It was an insulting waste of time.

I thought the same of Independence Day. I love a good Sci-Fi movie but both of these were just terrible. I forget if they came out the same summer or not, but I always lump these two awful movies together.

[Rhiannon12866]

37. Probably "Forrest Gump."

But the Academy didn't agree with me...:shrug:

[nuxvomica]

45. Dollar for dollar, the worst movie ever made

A CGI moneyhole, the gimmick of which was done better years earlier as Woody Allen's masterpiece "Zelig".

[Rhiannon12866]

192. I sure agree with you.

The person I saw "Forrest Gump" with was a movie editor and critic, well versed in movies. I suffered through the whole thing and when it was over, he asked me what I thought. I hated it, but didn't want to give my opinion first, so I asked him what he thought, and he said that he thought it was a terrible movie, and I agreed. I just assumed that everyone felt the same way, but then it won the Oscar. And I fell asleep during "Zelig." ;)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

60. Agreed.

I've seen plenty of movies with worse acting, direction, etc., but Forrest Gump had so much hype surrounding it, and the fact that it was considered "profound" really sealed the deal for me.

:puke:

[Rhiannon12866]

194. Some of the special effects were okay, like when he met the president,

but I cringed at other parts, like the smiley faces. It was just way overdone. Tom Hanks has done some great work, most of which I admire, but this was not one of them. I'm grateful that I'm not alone in feeling this way. I also hated "Terms of Endearment," found it totally depressing, but that one won, too...:shrug:

[Lautremont]

120. I agree with you.

[Rhiannon12866]

193. Thank you.

I was totally astounded when I finally got it through my head that other people liked this, and when it won the Oscar, I was astounded. Tom Hanks has done some great work, but this was not one of them. :-(

[Number23]

38. "The Cable Guy" and "The Polar Express"

The creepy cyborg children in that movie gave me the heebiest of jeebies.



((shuddering)) :scared:

[mopinko]

84. i hated the book polar express.

worst christmas kid's book ever. should have called it the greedy express.

[Sheets of Easter]

197. That movie gave me the major creeps,

especially the Nuremburg-style rally the elves had for Santa Claus.

[Orsino]

39. I dunno. Maybe Spaceballs. n/t

[AwakeAtLast]

56. That's my choice.

I walked out when they "combed" the desert.

[Common Sense Party]

148. That one was pretty sucky as well.

I think the squandered potential is the worst thing about that movie. It should have been MUCH better.

[eShirl]

40. SPAWN

We stopped going to the movie theater after that, haven't been back even ONCE ever since.

[DarkTirade]

53. That was kinda sad. It was a series that had a LOT of potential

and the cartoon turned out pretty cool... but they royally fucked up the live action movie.

[wickerwoman]

41. The Doors

I actually like Oliver Stone, but this was the worst of the two movies I've ever walked out of the theater on. The other was The Frighteners (and I really like Peter Jackson too... go figure...)

[nadine_mn]

42. The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover

Absolutely hated that movie... went with a bunch of friends in law school (there was this great independent movie theater - cheap tickets, one screen, old theater - saw the Madness of King George there - awesome) we all wanted to walk out, but we each thought the others liked it.


I still shudder at it. Its not a bad movie like stuff with Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey etc - those you have a certain expectation. This was just the worst for me.

[FloridaJudy]

107. I walked out on that one half way through

When the gangster started brutalizing the kitchen boy. That movie was downright sadistic - I had no problem with the sex, but the way the camera dwelt lovingly on every act of cruelty turned my stomach. I understand it got much, much worse before the end, so I'm glad I didn't stick around.

[kedrys]

43. Clash of the Titans

I saw it at a dollar theater, walked out halfway through it and demanded my $ back. :scared:

[Jade Fox]

90. One of my favorite movies!!

The last of the great cheesy special affects films.....

[FloridaJudy]

111. They used to play that one

On the TV at the Plasma Center, when I was so broke I had to sell my blood. It made me glad I'd thought to bring a book. Sometimes they varied it with "Over the Hedge", which I actually enjoyed.

[yellowdogintexas]

47. some weird 3D thing from the mid 1980's it had the actor who played Bull on Night Court

as some sort of cyclops creature and he was the only good thing in the movie.

We walked out by the way.

My other worst movie is "Ned Kelly" with Mick Jagger.

[Orrex]

48. That would be "Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn"

IMDB Link here

[Lautremont]

118. It's important to note (spoiler alert, ha!) that Jared-Syn is not destroyed.

So even the title is a cheat.

[YankeyMCC]

51. Thomas the Tank Engine Movie

I'm not sure if this was the absolute worst but it's the first one that comes to mind. As a parent of a now 12 year old and uncle of 4 and 5 year old nephews I've gone to many movies for kids over the last decade and actually for the most part I've enjoyed the movies at least in part but that Thomas movie was physically painful to sit through.

[AwakeAtLast]

58. WMUette loved that movie on DVD

It's good for 3-4 year olds because their attention spans can't comprehend how bad it is. Doesn't help the parents, though, eh?

The Thomas parts were better than the live action parts (if you can call Peter Fonda "live" :eyes: ).

[Danger Mouse]

55. The movie adaptation of 'A Separate Peace' was absolutely horrid.

But 'Manos: The Hands of Fate' has to be the overall winner. Even MST3K can't make that steaming pile of shit even remotely watchable.

[OmahaBlueDog]

146. We had to watch "Separate Peace" in HS

Oh, it's horrid

[hobbit709]

57. It's Alive

My wife watches all those bad horror/blood and gore movies and even she says it's the worst.

[Starry Messenger]

61. Mr. Freeze becomes your Governor

Brr.

Worst movie I've ever seen is Prospero's Books, which is a shame because I really wanted to like it. I like the concept, I love Tom Phillips the artist who designed the books. John Gielgud, plenty to love there. But totally unwatchable.

And then there is Caligula.

MPK

[begin_within]

62. "Young Cycle Girls" a.k.a. "Cycle Vixens" (1978)

It's still hard to believe someone actually paid for the production of it.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079018/

[Submariner]

63. "Battlefield Earth" with Travolta

I wasted about an hour of my life I will never get back watching that piece of crap.

[undeterred]

64. I second that.

We actually walked out after less than an hour it was so bad. Surprised Travolta would make something like that.

[DarkTirade]

72. Hmm... I dunno... Batman and Robin vs. Battlefield Earth.

There's a WHOLE LOT of suck coming from both directions there.

[ChickMagic]

200. That's the one for me

Our friends went with us to a dollar theatre. How bad could it be for a dollar? Damned bad. We all kind of got into trouble because every time the camera tilted left or right, we'd ride with it yelling "Whoa". But the movie was sooo bad the manager let it slide.

[NewEnglandGirl]

66. So many but

for some reason I could stand "The Runaway Bride." Didn't make any sense to me.

[Godhumor]

68. Johnny Mnemonic (spoilers ahead)

It is the only move I've seen in the theater where I had to apologize to my friends for suggesting it (I didn't even have to do that for Showgirls, as it was so bad it became amusing.).

I knew we were entering new levels of suckitude when the hacker dolphin helped Keanu Reeves "hack his own mind". I just have up altogether at that point.

[DarkTirade]

73. It's a movie where Dolph Lundgreen was playing a minor villain. That right there suggests

how bad it's gonna be. :P

[HamdenRice]

69. Gigli -- so, so bad, but not even funny bad

There are horrible pictures that are so bad they are funny -- Plan 9 from Outer Space, Glitter, etc.

But Gigli was horrible but too horrible, stupid and cringe inducing to even be funny.

[Hippo_Tron]

155. One of my teachers had a great line when that movie came out

"HL Mencken once said that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. Of course, he didn't anticipate Gigli."

[MorningGlow]

70. Titanic

Yeah, I said it! TITANIC! :P Followed closely by Moulin Rouge and Independence Day.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Symarip]

142. You're my favorite DU'er of the day

I despise all three of those films and always find myself defending my position on all of them to my moronic friends and family.

[MorningGlow]

156. Hee hee

:*

It's tough saying the emperor has no clothes, huh? :hi:

[billyoc]

182. Thank you. The mere MENTION of Titanic and I'm wondering if my state has the Death Penalty.

[Zavulon]

74. Dazed and Confused.

Great soundtrack, but one fucking SHITTY movie.

If you count movies I couldn't finish because they sucked so bad, then throw in Dana Carvey's Master of Disguise.

[CreekDog]

100. And Slacker

people kept telling me, "this is just like our generation". then i saw it. :wtf: :eyes:

[Danger Mouse]

105. Isn't that the one with the penis puppet?

:puke:

[Zhade]

153. YES! So fucking BORING.

I enjoyed Waking Life, but then I'm huge into lucid dreaming AND was really, really, really stoned.

A Scanner Darkly SUCKED.

[CreekDog]

101. If Dana Carvey is in a movie and it's *not* Wayne's World

It's unwatchable. Period.

Words to live by. :rofl:

[fishwax]

168. Master of Disguise is definitely among the worst I've seen

[ghostsofgiants]

75. I Know Who Killed Me

So fucking awful. Close second, The Number 23.

[LibraLiz1973]

98. The Number 23 was terrible

I haven't watched I know who killed Me

[ghostsofgiants]

99. Don't.

Seriously, don't.

Though it serves as a cautionary tale as to what one SHOULDN'T do when making a film.

[Paladin]

77. I'd Have To Go All The Way Back To "Myra Brackenridge"

I saw it when I was a kid with some friends of mine. It's the only movie I've ever gone to where the people coming out of the theatre begged and pleaded with us to turn around, cash in our tickets, and find something better to do with our time. Wish I'd taken their advice; what a piece-of-shit flick; what a mockery of Gore Vidal's fine novel; and what an unspeakable misuse of the aged Mae West. The only mildly amusing part was Rex Reed getting his dick cut off.....

[Chan790]

78. 54

No redeeming qualities.

[mikeargo]

79. Red Dawn

Reagan-era masturbation fantasy

[sniffa]

184. Oh no you didn't!

:grr:

My Red Dawn reenactment group and I are greatly offended.

[PassingFair]

80. DRUIDS

Un.
Watchable.

[SoxFan]

81. "Dangerously Close"

A mid-80s piece of schlock. Incoherent plot, bad acting, and utterly boring.

The soundtrack, however, was excellent, with tracks from the Smithereens, Fine Young Cannibals, TSOL, Black Uhuru, Green On Red, and Lone Justice.

[Lautremont]

119. Albert Pyun strikes again.

Check it out: http://www.themanitoban.com/1998-1999/1007/f2.html

[Faygo Kid]

82. "English Patient," "Bewitched," "Gods and Generals." "Star Trek: Nemesis."

Hach-tooey. Special mention for the musical version of "Lost Horizon," single worst musical ever made.

Big Trek fan here, and strangely enough, "Gettysburg" is one of my all time favorite movies, with the same director as "Gods and Generals."

But there is no salvation to any of these pieces of sh*t and wasted hours I can never get back.

[Awsi Dooger]

83. Pulp Fiction

I'm still annoyed at the so-called friends who dragged me to that disgraceful and predictable waste of film.

It demonstrates how genuinely stupid people can be, that a waste like Pulp Fiction can be considered on the same level as a true clever classic in the same year, Forrest Gump.

The original Batman (1989?) is another contender. I was squirming in my seat, wanting to leave a jammed North Lake Tahoe theater, in the first 2 minutes.

Oh yeah, how can I forget Juno? That one I did walk out of, but 20+ minutes too late. Easily the most ridiculously forced dialog of any movie I've ever seen.

[LibraLiz1973]

93. Ha ha, that is one of my all time favs

To each his/her own!

[MissMillie]

160. Well, I got through 10 minutes of Pulp Fiction and that was it

and while I enjoyed Forrest Gump, I don't know that I would consider it a work of genius.

[WCGreen]

190. I was very disappointed in Juno...

The forced dialog was way to cute and the whole thing was predictable...

[mopinko]

85. star wars- attack of the clones

indecipherable. and probably the worst case of gratuitous skin exposure in the big coliseum battle. my head exploded.

[Broken_Hero]

159. Ditto, this was the worst movie I've ever seen in the theater

I almost asked for my $ back....

[DS1]

86. The Love Guru

thank god I didn't pay for that

[bicentennial_baby]

125. I can't believe that you watched it for free!

:o

[DS1]

127. I was doing it for you guys!

Blogging.


Well. I tried. I had to stop. I started back up the next day, but it was just as horrendous.

[Runcible Spoon]

91. I don't buy it people! You can't POSSIBLY think movies like Pulp Fiction, Strange Days etc are...

the worst, when there is drivel like White Girls and Not Another Date Movie out there! And DON'T tell me you don't watch tripe like that. As if you've never been on a long flight or had to endure movie night at your in-laws :evilgrin:

This thread smells like DUers being overly precious and snobby about their film watching, so that they can slaughter sacred cows of otherwise decent movies so that they can appear extremely cultured and selective :eyes:

Kinda like that film critic who gave Dark Knight a bad review just so, well, there would be a bad review out there!

[billyoc]

183. Well, there are some movies I just won't watch.

White Girls, oy! :rofl:

[Nevernose]

187. Many people are apparently confusing "overrated" with "worst."

And a few others are just plain pretentious, because some people believe that not liking something trendy but cool -- like Pulp Fiction -- makes them even cooler. This second, smaller subset is the same crowd who switched over to chai tea when the rest of the trend-followers finally discovered that coffee was cool.

In a world in which Glitter, Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, From Justin to Kelly, and Soul Plane simply exist -- not to mention the entire lineup of everything ever aired on the Lifetime Movie Network -- people, deep in their hearts, think Titanic is worse? Titanic is honestly worse than anything starring 50 Cent, Shaquille O'Neal, Brittney Spears, or Paris Hilton?

92. The Animal with Rob Schneider

I had forgotten about this one, but it was run recently by one of the basic cable outlets. Even my dad hates this one, and he normally likes stupid goofball humor.

[LibraLiz1973]

94. The ONLY movie I've ever walked out of was THE WICKER MAN

with Nicholas Cage.

Fucking AWFUL

[NNN0LHI]

103. It was a 3D soft porn movie from the 1970's

I can't remember the name but boy did it really suck.

Don

[Danger Mouse]

104. Pr0n?

[timtom]

106. This is the best thread ever.

While I like several of Tim Burton's flicks, I'm not married to them. But mainly, I agreed with 99% of the bashed films here (and was glad not to have seen the ones I hadn't).

[crim son]

108. I watched "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" last night, and it was a serious contender.

I didn't care for "The Hours" either; very disappointing and somehow managed to make all the actors in it look amateur.

[Inspired]

110. Eyes Wide Shut

It was horrible and I felt so silly dragging my hubby to it on opening night.

[OmahaBlueDog]

145. Not on my worst list, but I'd give it honorable mention

[meegbear]

199. I LOVE Kubrick and didn't see it on the theatre, but got the DVD ...

I wish he did his "Napoleon" project instead.

And AI sucked too - you can feel the schmaltz of Speilberg permeating through it.

[harmonicon]

112. Star Wars episode 1 - hands down

[Zhade]

154. AGREED. Lucas is a fucking hack.

Someone once said, "the best Star Wars movies are the ones he never touches."

Truer words were never spoken.

[Connonym]

114. Wild Orchid

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100934/ I actually stayed until the end because I kept thinking maybe it would make sense if I saw the whole thing. It didn't

[YellowRubberDuckie]

115. Time Bandits

Tons of little people and HUGE stars....But the movie is AWFUL!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081633/

[The_Casual_Observer]

121. "Young Guns"

[Initech]

123. Tie between Anger Management and Batman & Robin.

[Ava]

126. "bratz" - it traumatized me for life

for serious :scared:

[sakabatou]

135. How?

Was it the dolls that look like aliens?

[Ava]

173. a friend convinced me to go see it "for shits and giggles"

it was scary :scared:

seriously, i've never done drugs.. but i imagine a bad acid trip feels like watching that movie.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

136. Bratitude!!

I loved that the entire story was shown in the preview.

[Ava]

174. what story?

there was one? :rofl: ;)

[flvegan]

129. Fahrenheit 911

Not for production values, plot, cast nor anything like that, but for the true story it documented.

[OmahaBlueDog]

149. Which was the better documentary from that year

"Farenheit 911" or "Enron: The Smartest Guys In the Room"?

[flvegan]

151. You aren't allowed to ask that question.

The masses can watch F911, but Enron sails over heads.

Moore has a very good anchor point in that folks will watch his movies even if they're too stupid to get it/them.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

130. 1973's "Love Me Deadly" with Lyle Waggoner from The Carol Burnett Show.

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTM0NjgxODIxNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzY1NjI3MQ@@._V1._SX280_SY400_.jpg

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0136376/

A coven of devil-worshipping necrophiliacs moves to Los Angeles and sets up their base of operations out of a funeral home.

[Yavin4]

131. Cool World

The only movie that I've ever walked out on.

[TrogL]

132. Journey to the Centre of the Earth (2008)

[kentauros]

134. In a theater, Liquid Sky.

On TV, even with MST:3K to tear it apart? "Manos, Hands of Fate"

Oh, that just so-o bad! :o

[opiate69]

137. "Coffee and Cigarettes".

The most boring, insipid load of Indie-Hipster shit ever commited to celluloid.

[Critters2]

140. The Demi Moore version of The Scarlet Letter. Only movie I've ever walked out on.

Yeah, right. Like Demi Moore could improve on Hawthorne's plot. :eyes:

[begin_within]

141. Another: "Goddess of Love" starring Vanna White

A disasterpiece which is actually entertainingly bad, if that's your kind of thing. Everything about it is stupid and amateurish. Poor Vanna must be so embarrassed about it now.

[OmahaBlueDog]

144. "Horror Planet" "Wizards" "Heavy Metal"

[Common Sense Party]

147. Caddyshack 2. Only movie I've ever walked out of the theater.

A travesty of monumental proportions.

[Evoman]

157. Lots...Pluto Nash, Cocktail, The Avengers, Dungeons and Dragons. The absolute worst??? That would

have to be Cabin Fever. I know that there are, objectively, worse movies...but god, I fucking hated Cabin Fever.

For a taste of this fine movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq_2GOoFaXE

[OmahaBlueDog]

177. One that's just about as bad as Cabin Fever is Club Paradise w/ Robbin Williams

[azmouse]

158. The Fountain.

Words cannot describe how bad that movie was.

[LanternWaste]

162. Matrix (any of 'em), DefCon 3

Matrix (any of 'em-- the dialogue's worse than Star Wars w/o having any of the redeeming qualities of Star Wars), DefCon 3 (an old 80's B movie), Men in Black, any/all of the Harry Potter flicks, sheesh-- my list goes on and on (and on and on and...).

I'm very respectful of people's sacred cows... unless the cow is a movie, then it's fair game :evilgrin:


edited: spelling

[bif]

164. "Nacho Libre"

What a piece of shit. I could only make it about 10 minutes into it before I said "Uncle!"

[bif]

165. "The Gods Must Be Crazy" is another one.

I didn't even smile watching that painful piece of crap.

[OmahaBlueDog]

176. Oh, good -- it's not just me

Everyone I knew loved that one. I, on the other hand, didn't like it and didn't appreciate its racial overtones.

[MrCoffee]

166. The Doom Generation is the worst movie ever made.

[skypilot]

202. Ugh!!!

Almost everything by Gregg Araki is the worst movie ever made. That guy really needs to grow the fuck up. The only movie he has made that I found even remotely watchable was "Mysterious Skin".

[mochajava666]

169. Jabberwocky

I'm a big Monty Python fan, but this one sucked. I looked at my watch every 5-10 minutes.

Honorable mention:

Caddyshack II

Alien III

The English Patient

The Postman

The first 2 for being such horrible sequels (worse than Godfather III)

The last 2 for being way too long to be that boring.

As Steve Martin said, "And by the way, you know, when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea - have a POINT. It makes it SO much more interesting for the listener ..."

[OmahaBlueDog]

175. Oh! I'd forgotten that one.

Jabberwocky is horrid.

[DS1]

196. Yes, mostly miserable Terry Gilliam cynicism

People just being nasty to each other for no reason at all, and a stupid movie, to boot.

[SacredCow]

170. I wanted to walk out of Titanic....

... but my then-wife insisted that I stay. So I had to make do with laughing inappropriately.

I did walk out of that abomination of Romeo and Juliet also starring DiCaprio... That was just hideous and stupid beyond description.

On edit: And the Movie version of Apt Pupil by Stephen King. Stand by Me was fantastic, Shawshank Redemption was excellent. Apt Pupil was the best of the 4 stories and could have made a kick-ass movie, but the execution was just pathetic.

[Kutjara]

171. Anything made by M. Night Shyamalan, with the exception of...

..."The Sixth Sense" (which was cute).

Out of his odious oeuvre, I'd have to single out "Unbreakable" for special derision. "Super hero comics are real", indeed. Is Shyamalan 11 years old? Because that idea is certainly the kind of thing every 11 year old thinks up. And then grows out of.

[PBS Poll-435]

172. The Break-Up

What CRAP.

[Arugula Latte]

178. "Patch Adams"

Good gawd, that stunk like a skunk.

[LiberalEsto]

179. Freebie and the Bean

1974 film with more crappy gratuitous violence than I'd ever seen before in my life.

:puke:

[Rabrrrrrr]

180. Top Gun, Nemesis, Titanic, Forrest Gump, and I agree about Batman and Robin - awful.

Just awful.

I think Clooney could have been an awesome new Batman if he would have had a script that wasn't shit.

[Brigid]

181. Any of the "Jaws" movies except the first.

They were horrid. They show up on AMC every now and then, and I can't flip past them fast enough.

[tismyself]

185. The English Patient

but the 3 Stooges movies on before that were really funny.

:bounce:

[Doc_Technical]

186. "The Creeping Terror"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057970/

[QueenOfCalifornia]

189. Apparently you have not seen

THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION.

[quakerboy]

191. Bubba Ho-Tep was up there

top 2 worst. Cant remember the name of the other.

[annonymous]

195. Drop Dead Fred was the worst I've seen in a theatre.

I wanted to walk out on it but I was with friends so had to stay for the entire movie. The worst movie I saw on video/DVD in its entirety was Ishtar. Master of Disguise and My Stepmother Is an Alien were so bad I stopped watching after 30 minutes. The worst kid video I saw was The Pebble and the Penguin. My daughter hated it as much as I did.

[WildEyedLiberal]

198. Godsend

Why, Robert De Niro, why?

Close runner up: Closer. Pretentious claptrap filled with odious, loathsome characters, not a single one with any redeeming qualities.

[Parche]

201. BORAT

The worst.........:grr: :grr: :hi:

[Z_I_Peevey]

203. The Thing with Two Heads.

Anger Management.

And, although I love Ellen, I am saddened to add Mr. Wrong.
