How about a quick game of "bad director". The rules are simple.

[Taxloss]

Pick a famous film. Then choose the worst possible director for it. Pick a leading man or woman as well, if you want.

So, a few examples:

James Cameron's "A Room With A View". Starring Val Kilmer.

Ingmar Bergman's "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective".

Woody Allen's "Schindler's List". Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[Arkana]

1. Steven Spielberg's "SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie,"

starring Vin Diesel as the voice of SpongeBob.

[Taxloss]

3. Arf!

I'd see that.

[maveric]

2. Kevin Smith, "The Quiet Man", Pauly Shore.

[xultar]

4. Sylvester Stallone presents Little Women starring Susan Powder.

[Strawman]

5. Sylvester Stallone's "Reversal of Fortune" starring Burt Young

[AmyDeLune]

6. Quentin Tarantino, Man of La Mancha, Sylvester Stallone

*prays that Hollywood never reads this thread*

[Taxloss]

7. Casting directors are taking notes furiously as we speak.

"Bruce Willis playing a nun? That could work."

[AmyDeLune]

12. Scarily, you're probably right!

I think hell is freezing over...

[edbermac]

8. The Sound Of Music directed by David Lynch...

And starring Whoopi Goldberg as Maria Von Trapp...

[Taxloss]

10. Now THAT I would definitely go and see.

The mind boggles.

[Rabrrrrrr]

59. I'd sure as hell pay to see it!

[Midnight Rambler]

9. Kevin Costner's "Das Boot," starring Kevin Costner

[Taxloss]

13. Naaaaargh!

If you dive, dive, dive it, they will come?

[Magrittes Pipe]

11. Nora Ephron's "It Happened One Night"

Starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. :o

[jmm]

14. Stanley Kubrick "West Side Story" starring Christopher Walken

J Lo can be Maria.

[Strawman]

15. John Hughes "The Seventh Seal" starring Anthony Michael Hall

[punpirate]

16. Busby Berkeley's...

... "Casablanca," starring Ronald Reagan as Rick.

[kid a]

17. wes cravin's kramer vs kramer starring the olsen twins

[Taxloss]

19. Yipes, that's astonishing.

That would mean the onset of the apocalypse.

[AmyDeLune]

20. This is getting weird...

First I post with Stallone, now Wes Craven...bizarre minds think alike?

[AmyDeLune]

18. Wes Craven, The Secret Garden, starring Paris Hilton

I think I burst a blood vessel :P

[punpirate]

23. Let's finish you off, then...

... David Cronenberg's "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," starring Irene Dunne.

[Strawman]

39. delete

wrong spot

[Spider Jerusalem]

21. The Wachowski brothers; "Lawrence of Arabia"; Kevin Costner.

I'm sure you could make that one worse, but I can't think how.

[Rabrrrrrr]

60. To make it worse, you'd have Ron Howard direct it

[DS1]

22. Leni Riefenstahl - The Rugrats Movie

:D

All voices played by Christopher Lee and James Earl Jones

[Taxloss]

26. Again, I'd see that. "The Triumph of the Lil", perhaps.

[hyphenate]

24. Quentin Tarantino

directing Citizen Kane with Mel Gibson

Francis Ford Coppolla directing Oklahoma, the musical, with Keanu Reeves

Billy Wilder directing Alien vs. Predator with Michael Caine

Martin Scorsese directing Singing in the Rain with Joe Pesci

Stephen Spielberg directing How the West was Won with Michael J. Fox

[Taxloss]

30. A uniquely painful selection.

I particularly like "Billy Wilder directing Alien vs. Predator with Michael Caine" - sound like the sort of film that would end up being endlessly repeated at Christmas on British TV.

[DS1]

35. HAHAH

Michael Caine - what a tool - in a remake of the Original Predator

"Oi! We've got a right tosser in the woods 'ere, and we're gonna get the bleedin bastard and skin the wanker alive!"

[Parrcrow]

25. Terry Gilliam ---Revenge of the Sith --- John Cleese

[Spider Jerusalem]

28. Actually, I think I might prefer a Terry Gilliam Star Wars film....

to what Lucas did with the series in Episodes I & II.

[Parrcrow]

33. with Michael Palin as Obi-Wan it couldn't miss.

[solinvictus]

36. I agree...

Lucas screwed the first two prequels into the ground.

[ashmanonar]

44. nah, we're looking for BAD directors.

:D

i'd love to see a monty python star wars movie.

[solinvictus]

27. Joel Schumaker's "Citizen Kane" starring Ben Afleck n/t

[DS1]

29. Stanley Kubrick's - South Park - Bigger, Longer, Uncut

[DS1]

31. Terry Gilliam - What Dreams May Come

Starring Vin Deisel

[Taxloss]

37. Minus Vin Diesel, that might work. Gilliam does a good line in dream

sequences.

[DS1]

43. Yes, but I want Deisel to fuck it all up

maybe put his Pitch Black character in there, and have him lift up his glasses to speak ad nauseam

[Taxloss]

46. He is the most unique character vacuum.

you get more acting from a paving slab.

[kid a]

32. ron howards striptease starring rupaul

[maddiejoan]

34. Joel Schumacher

The Magnificent Seven

49. Ethan Coen --- Hamlet--- Samuel L Jackson

[Rabrrrrrr]

50. Ron Howard's "A Touch of Evil" with Fran Drescher and Bobcat Goldthwait

[Magrittes Pipe]

[Rabrrrrrr]

I think I could watch that, too.

[Magrittes Pipe]
