Worst movie you've ever seen?

[galaxy21]

Alone in the dark directed by Uwe Boll. Tara Reid as a genius archeologist? Horrible special effects and laughable dialogue ('this is a dead end...I'd better check it out.')

catwoman: oh, Halle...

Batman and robin: The governator is crap here, and it just feels like one big advert for toys.

anymore?

[Shell Beau]

1. Glenngarry Glenn Ross

Had an all-star cast. But I thought it was pointless. Now, my actor friend thought it was wonderful, so I am sure I am missing something. But it was BORING! And had no point.

[pitohui]

10. i thought it was a fun movie but i knew someone in that business

i'm guessing to many people it was just one long pointless in joke

[Shell Beau]

16. I knew nothing about the movie before I bought it. I bought it

because it was an all-star cast and it was only $6.99. It just wasn't my kinda movie.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

14. My favorite story about that movie...

As you know the language in the movie was a little raw, shall we say?

Alec Baldwin was being interviewed by somebody (Actor's Studio, maybe?) and he said that the cast had given the film their own unofficial title: Death Of A Fucking Salesman.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

18. Blair Witch Project

After forty-five minutes, I was rooting for the witch...

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

19. Oops. Thought I was replying to the OP

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. I liked TBWP.

It is probably the first and only movie that serindidiously turned out better due to its low budget than had it had a large budget.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

28. I thought the dialogue was terrible...

"You're an asshole."
"No, you're the asshole."

Then I read somewhere that much of the dialogue was improvised.

And that, my children, is why God created screenwriters....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. True, but if you were in the woods being stalked by a freakin witch....

....I highly doubt you'd be spewing Shakespeare.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

85. I don't think it's possible to "spew" Shakespeare...

And I noticed that Hitchcock managed to have something akin to dialogue in his films.

[jobycom]

47. That was deliberate, and part of the technique.

They were trying to make it feel like you were really behind the camera. No stylized sets or dialogue, no lighting effects. Just a home movie you were taking part in. Yes, it was weak dialogue, and no acting, and a mess as far as plot goes (just follow the damned stream!). But they weren't going for all that, they were trying to engage the viewer by making everything commonplace.

Weird thing happened to me. I watched the film, thought it was a little creepy but not as scary as some saw it. That night about three in the morning I woke up having a nightmare about an old woman under my bed. I was trembling and sweating so bad I almost screamed. Worse, I couldn't shake it. I kept imagining a witch in the room, manipulating the world around me so that I had no chance to escape, maybe making it dark in the room when it could be light outside. I couldn't open my eyes, and when I did, I was afraid to turn on the lamp next to the bed, because the witch under the bed would grab my arm. I knew all this was silly, of course, but it was like some switch had flipped in me, and I was in terror no matter how stupid I knew that was. I rarely scare, either, so this was unusual for me.

Lasted a couple of weeks, then went away. I literally slept with the light on for over a week, no matter how much I told myself that was stupid. I'm not a kid, either, I was in my 30s then.

So the movie did something to me, even though I wasn't scared while watching it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

129. If you ever went camping in the woods after seeing it, I think it was pretty scary.

Psychologically scary.

As I said, it is the best example of a movie being serendipidiously good. No money for special effects, big name actors, or elaborate costuming actually made the movie a lot better than your typical horror movie.

[bigwillq]

62. Hee Hee

:rofl: That's funny. (rooting for the witch).

I thought it was ok but not as good as the hype.

[av8rdave]

121. Blair Witch bored me to tears

And the things those people would get freaked out about - geez. They were camping, for God's sake!

[Shell Beau]

20. I have to say hearing Jack Lemmon say some of the things in that

movie did kind of shock me!

[MrCoffee]

17. Glengarry is a fantastic movie.

I've seen it about a dozen times. Wonderful performances from everyone involved, including Mr. Alec Baldwin.

[Shell Beau]

24. The performances were fine. The story was boring.

:shrug:

I see that apparently a lot of people did seem to like it.

[jobycom]

33. One of the best scripts I've ever seen.

Amazing film. But not for anyone not in the mood for it, that's for sure.

[Shell Beau]

35. Well I know the play won a Pulitzer prize and a Tony.

So like I said, I must be missing something.

[jobycom]

43. It was a writer's script.

It's all about character development and dialogue, and the plot is revealed almost incidentally through the character development. The central mystery is almost an afterthought, and even seems minor compared to the daily struggle of the characters. That, and the characters are despicable, barely likable, but still too human to turn away from. It's about the darkness in everyone, i guess, or how normal people can become parasitically evil when pitted against each other in desperate circumstances. It's like an old film noir plot, or dark western, only instead of Clint Eastwood clodly murdering the sheriff for killing his friend, the characters are only after money and one more deal, one more sale. I think Pacino even calls himself a cowboy at one point, seeing himself as a grandiose hero while actually being a low-life con. Like James Cagney without the guns.

Did you notice the sexual tension between Jonathon Pryce and Al Pacino, as Pacino sells to him in the bar? It looked more like a pick-up scene than a sale, and all through it you half expected Pryce to kiss him or do something physical. It was not only sexual, in an uncomfortable way, but pure manipulative domination. Intense acting.

Anyway, I loved it, but it's one I rarely recommend, because it's such a hard film to really get into. Just my observations.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

53. WHAT?!?!?!?!?

:mad:

[Shell Beau]

152. Sorry! I must not be very artsy!

[OmahaBlueDog]

104. The thing is that the scene everyone loves is, in fact, not in the original play

"Blake" is the name of the scene David Mamet wrote for Alec Baldwin. If you've ever worked in commission sales, you'll appreciate that scene.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-AXTx4PcKI

[ghostsofgiants]

2. I Know Who Killed Me

[mainegreen]

3. Land before Time XVIII: Alladin and Simba stop by for tea.

Or some stupid Disney straight to DVD milking a franchise crap fest like that.

[Beaverhausen]

4. Pulp Fiction

:hide:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

15. yup.

I don't understand those violent Tarantino movies. They are just pointless to me.

[MissMillie]

140. I'm w/ you!

:hi:

[mikeytherat]

5. Dude! Where's My Car?

A black hole of suckiness from which no humor can escape.

mikey_the_rat

[galaxy21]

34. That movie has the best title ever

therefore its not THAT bad.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

169. My kid made me watch that.

Because Ashton Kutcher is "hot". :shrug:

[Rambis]

6. Tie...Pulp Fiction or Jurasick Park

:puke:

[jmowreader]

145. Oh come on...

Flounder getting eaten by compys has to count for something.

[MAGICBULLET]

7. Ever?

There are a number of them tied for this and I could never include Pulp Fiction (with the exception of the scene where Tarantino tries to be an actor) and Glengary Glen Ross in that category. Wow.

Evan Almighty was horrible
Dying Young was worse
Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo was just putrid
Anything with Steven Seagal is repugnant

I could think of so many more

[MrCoffee]

8. Steven Segal in Out of Prepositions was really good.

[Shell Beau]

11. So you liked Glengarry Glenn Ross?

I was told it was an actors movie. I felt like I wasted a couple of hours of my life. But like I said I am sure I am missing the point (whatever it may be). I also understand it was a play first.

[MAGICBULLET]

21. don't get me wrong

while it isn't the masterpiece I've heard some people call it I actually did think Baldwin's monologue was great. Yes! it works as a play. But was the worst ever? not sure. Have you seen DaVinci Code? Now THAT is a waste of 2 hours. It's all subjectve :)

[Shell Beau]

27. No, I opted out of the DaVinci Code. I read the book. That was enough for me.

Maybe worst ever isn't what I meant. But I was extremely disappointed. My expectations were too high I suppose.

[bif]

9. "Love Liza"

And "Popeye" and "1942" and...

[bif]

29. Also "Monster's Ball"

[MrCoffee]

37. Love Liza was brilliant. Phillip Seymour Hoffman's finest work

along with Owning Mahoney.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. "Down to You" starring Freddie Prinz, Jr. was pretty bad.

There have been a couple of laughably bad movies that are enjoyable for their horribleness, but Down to You is the first annoyingly bad movie that comes to mind.

[Love Bug]

13. "Shining Through" with Melanie Griffin as a spy in WWII

Awful, awful, crap.

[pokerfan]

22. Caddyshack 2

[Haole Girl]

23. The Accidental Tourist:, with William Hurt

The critics loved it. And that was the last time I ever read a movie review!

[DS1]

30. doh

I was thinking of "The Glass Menagerie"

:puke: :boring: :puke:

[pitohui]

25. "tron"

just shoot me now, admittedly i don't see many movies, but that is one that has remained vivid in memory all these years for just how excruciatingly dull it was

[MAGICBULLET]

32. and what was the point

of remaking "Psycho" again? I never got that. Why Gus? Why?

[jobycom]

36. Films that others thought were good? LOTR, and Ferris Buehler. Films that were truly bad?

No contest for me, "Yor: The Hunter of the Future." But no one has seen it, and no one wouold really say it was good, so it's not cool to say it sucked, so I'll stick with LOTR and Ferris Buehler. Not an ounce of originality between them. The Thomas Kincade paintings of the film world.

[Shell Beau]

38. Now I do agree with you on LOTR! I thought it was waaaay to

drawn out. And I thought I was the only one who didn't care for it.

[jobycom]

41. I thought the second one got a little better, but the final one was awful.

Way too drawn out, and the scenes chosen seemed to be random, rather than working together to tell the story. Jackson picked scenes from the book because they were cool, even when he sometimes left out the whole storyline for why those scenes were in the books.

But what I hated even more was the overly formulaic way he directed. If I saw one more camera zoom in over Orlando Bloom's shoulder just as he turned with an intensely serious expression to peer over that very shoulder at something supposedly other than the camera, I was going to take up the nearest bastard sword and attack the damned projector. Or one more orc boot stomping on a log in the forest to symbolize that there were orcs in the woods. Or one more corny Gandalf line, or one more sober, sad expression at a naive but brave decision by an innocent Frodo...

Same reason I hated Ferris Buehler. One cliche after another. It looked like it was written to sell breakfast cereal to five year olds than to actually tell some interesting story.

There's a scene at the end of The Return of the King, where Frodo is rescued from the lava by an eagle, and the screen fades to black. I remember feeling a physical sense of relief that the overly long melodrama was finally over. Then it faded back in, to show a closeup of Frodo dangling from the eagle's talons, looking relieved and whatever else Jackson thought he was supposed to look. I actually said "Oh for god's sake, come on," (with an F bomb in there somewhere), and several people around me laughed. So I don't think we were the only ones.

[libnnc]

39. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

Bad. REALLY bad spoof of Jacqueline Susann original.

Freaky bad. :scared:

it should be watched with friends and copious amounts of alcohol.

[Lautremont]

54. That makes it a great movie, though!

Anyway, any movie with the line "This is my happening, and it freaks me out!" cannot be classified as bad.

[last_texas_dem]

99. I kinda enjoyed that movie for its weirdness

I may actually like it more than the first one; weird as that may seem. Although at the moment, the main things I can remember about it are the Strawberry Alarm Clock and this really bizarre beheading scene!

[edbermac]

40. Plan 9 From Outer Space

So bad it's good.

[Deep13]

50. Yeah, bad, but not offensive.

i could never understand the purpose of making zombies. And if the solarimite is so goddamn dangerous and the mission so urgent, why did Bunny Beckenridge divert two of what's-his-name's squadron to something else?

[terrya]

42. "Armageddon"

Movies like "Plan Nine from Outer Space" or "Eegah!" or anything on "MST2K" have some thing in them that you can enjoy. Unintentionally or otherwise. There wasn't one single minute, not one single second of "Armageddon" that I liked. I wanted to fucking shoot Michael Bay for creating that disgusting piece of shit.

[Lautremont]

55. Total agreement here.

[Jade Fox]

59. You beat me to it.

Walked out about 1/3 of the way through Armageddon.

[fishwax]

88. best suggestion so far n/t

[Richardo]

94. ...and what stopped you?

Follow through, my boy, follow through! :D

[terrya]

116. I should have, Richardo.

God knows I would have done a service to fans of good films everywhere.

The next piece of crap from him...and the next movie WILL be a piece of crap, Michael Bay isn't exactly Martin Scorcese, you know?....he's gone. :-)

[FloridaJudy]

44. "The Chipmunks' Great Adventure"

Forget all about the pain of childbirth: force would-be parents to sit through that without strong drugs, and I guarantee more people would be using reliable contraception.

Close seconds would be "Benji the Hunted" and "The Garbage Pail Kids".

[Deep13]

45. No, no, no, no! These are all wrong.

The worst of all time is either of these two:

Manos, the Hands of Fate
or
Blood Shack.

It depends which is worse: repulsive ickiness or soul-crushing boredom.

The former is well known to Mystery Science Theater fans and was financed by and stars a Texas fertilizer salesman, Hal Warren. This was the first in a series of one movie for him and his cast. In addition to being barely comprehensible and just plain dreariness, it drips with an ickiness that can only come from child-abduction and an oily goat-man.

Blood Shack is an opus of Ray Dennis Steckler. You may remember him from the film Eegah! as the guy Richard Kiel throws into a pool. Anyway, Blood Shack stars Steckler's wife, children and a bunch of other people you never heard of. Here's a summary. There's a shitty house out in the desert where nothing happens. Occassionally, a guy in a hood stabs someone. Oh and there is a rodeo and a guy with no shirt harvesting rocks. That's it. It's not as icky as Manos, but it is even more boring, if that is possible.

The third worst movie of all time has to be Santa Claus Conquers the Martians starring an 8-year old Pia Zadora.

[stuntcat]

78. I LOVE Manos

only because of MST of course

[Deep13]

160. Ah, the haunting Torgo theme. nt

[XemaSab]

46. End of Days

A total shit-fest.

[Arkham House]

48. Monsignor

...Yeah, I love Chris Reeve too...but Geez, does this movie suck...

[BlueIris]

49. "The Hearse," "Darkness Falls," and "21 grams" are my three worst ever.

And no, I couldn't choose between those three insultingly bad movies. Awful. I wouldn't watch any of them again if someone paid me.

[CBHagman]

51. Well, I have a list of things I resent having seen.

I'm not sure I see enough bad movies to have a rock-bottom worst, and I'm sick of the IMDB message board creatures who will try to carpet bomb some perfectly decent or even wonderful movie by posting a thread urging IMDB visitors not to see a particular movie, or declaring it the worst ever.

Anyway, I am sorry I bothered with the following:

Ricochet
Notting Hill

I walked out of The Bedford Incident but that was a freebie at the student union and doesn't really count. I just couldn't stand waiting for something to actually happen.

And one of my dearest friends insisted on watching the last part of The Witches of Eastwick. That too I resent.

[Brigid]

52. Epic Movie.

God, what a waste of celluloid. x(

[Release The Hounds]

56. Vanilla Sky

[Skittles]

71. ooh, friggin' awful

yes INDEED

[MrCoffee]

155. Ohhh....watch the original Abre los Ojos

The original movie is orders of magnitude better than the remake.

[AlCzervik]

57. Eyes wide shut and The English Patient.

i also hated Moulin Rouge.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

127. I skipped The English Patient to go see Sack Lunch...

The question is, were they just really small, or was it a giant sack? I'm not giving out any spoilers!

[suninvited]

138. I had to see English Patient

because Sack Lunch was sold out.

Please tell me if they were small or the sack was giant !

[Tommy_Carcetti]

150. All I can say is that Dabney Coleman is EXCELLENT in it! nt

[WritingIsMyReligion]

58. Star Wars, the prequels. Specifically Episodes I and II.

Could the "love" "dialogue" in Episode II get any fucking worse???? I don't think so. Episode I is a childish romp, reminding me of my favorite poorly written fantasy novels marketed to 8-year-olds, but Episode II is outrageously poorly dialogued, and Anakin is unbearably, ridiculously stupid.

:puke:

[last_texas_dem]

101. "Don't look at me that way. It makes me uncomfortable."

A couple of my friends and I have been making fun of that line from "Queen Amidala" in the second one since back when we first saw it. You have to say it in the most emotionless voice that you can muster, with the straightest face possible in order to fully capture the awkwardness of the dialogue!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

126. I feel bad for Natalie Portman.

She's a good actress who was stuck with really crappy lines.

Hayden Christiansen, on the other hand....

[Raster]

154. Hayden Christiansen was a pretty face. No great thespian, just a pretty face.

His best scene evah, is the third prequel, breaking the restraints and doing the Frankenstein off of the table. <Cue the Darth Vader dirge>

[WritingIsMyReligion]

162. Amidala in the first two movies has the most stone-faced deliveries I've ever seen.

Absolutely no emotion whatsoever. :scared:

[ileus]

60. Blair Witch....hands down disappointment.

[texanwitch]

100. I agree.

So did many of the people in the theater.

To think I waited in line for that movie.

[BlueJazz]

119. Another vote for Blair Which Idiots. :)

[cloudbase]

61. Howard the Duck

I don't know who I pissed off to have it shown on two consecutive flights.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

131. BLASPHEMER!!!

"Howard the Duck" is the "Citizen Kane" of the Duck-From-Outer-Space genre.

[driver8]

132. And it's got Lea Thompson in it!!

Man, is she cute in that movie!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

136. Not to mention Tim Robbins in his strangest role...

nt

[Manifestor_of_Light]

170. They stole their tag line from James T. Farrell, too.

"Trapped in a world he never made" is originally by James T. Farrell, from the "Studs Lonigan" books.

"Studs Lonigan" was made into a TV movie starring Harry Hamlin when he was young.

[bigwillq]

63. Hostel

:puke: I hated it.

[AlCzervik]

66. that's free on demand, i kept thinking i should watch it, after reading your post

i think i'll take a pass.

[bigwillq]

72. I usually enjoy horror movies

Hostel was by far the grossest movie I've ever seen but not until the last third of the movie. It's just a story about three dudes on vacation, drinking, doing drugs, getting laid and then BAM! GROSS OUT!

:puke:

[AlCzervik]

74. i love horror movies but prefer monsters to actual human killers. Did you see

"Wolf Creek"? I really wished i never watched that, for real.

[devilgrrl]

105. Wolf Creek: I read all the spoilers on wikipedia

I'm not going to waist my time with that one.

[last_texas_dem]

106. "Wolf Creek", I think, disturbed me more than any other movie I've ever seen

There was just something very nasty and brutal about almost everything about it... I still like to see horror movies, but seeing that one caused me to stay away from watching them for quite a while afterward. I wasn't expecting just how much it would disturb me. Oddly, most of the people in the theater with me were either totally unphased by it or were even laughing at some of the grossest parts, which may have disturbed me even more than the movie itself. As a general rule, I stay away from "slasher"-type horror movies (especially the "torture porn" ones, as I've heard them called) as I prefer supernatural or suspenseful ones, but it can be difficult at times to discern just what you're going to be getting into simply based on the previews.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

125. What's the deal with the torture porn?

Between the "Saw" movies and "Hostel", there are some people who love seeing others get tortured.

After knowing what has gone on in Abu Gahrib, Guantanamo and other places in my country's name, I'll pass, thank you very much.

[bigwillq]

171. I didn't mind Saw

I actually enjoyed them but Hostel was a different story.

[driver8]

133. Hostel is a piece of shit.

"Saw" is right behind it...

[raouldukelives]

64. Xanadu

That was a prety awful flick. Some others are Quintet, Red Sonja and House of the Dead.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

65. What Dreams May Come

Death to Smoochy
The 'Burbs

[Richardo]

67. 'Eraserhead' actually pissed me off

x(

[Canuckistanian]

69. Why, exactly?

It's on my list of movies to see.

What's your beef with it?

[Richardo]

91. Well I saw it about 25 years ago...but it's like Lynch was being gratuitously weird

I felt like he was putting me on - seeing if I was stupid enough to just accept whatever crap he threw up on the screen.

He tried my patience - and won. Maybe I took it a tad personally, but: there it is.

[last_texas_dem]

108. I just saw that movie for the first time about a week ago, and

pretty much share your feelings. I mean, I guess the movie succeeds on the level of bringing out a variety of unpleasant sensations and emotions for the viewer, but in the end it left me with one of the biggest "so what?" feelings I've ever felt at the end of a movie.

[Richardo]

139. That's it exactly: a 'so-what?' feeling.

:thumbsup:

[MrCoffee]

156. That is the perfect description of David Lynch's work...gratuitously weird

:applause:

[Canuckistanian]

68. "A Walk in The Clouds" with Keanu Reeves

My wife and I damned near walked out of the theater.

A shame that Anthony Quinn's agent recommended this dog to him.

[bmbmd]

157. Hmmm-I liked it.

Beautiful scenery. Interesting story. Good cast.

[Oeditpus Rex]

70. 'The Fan'

with DeNiro as a psychotic baseball fan and Wesley Snipes as the Giants player he idolizes.

I cannot begin to list all the things wrong with this cinematic abortion.

[TrogL]

73. Nell

Incomprehensible

Two women making a lot of facial gestures at each other for two hours.

[Zavulon]

75. Does one have to watch the whole movie to name one?

If not, Master of Disguise (Dana Carvey). I shut it off after about 45 minutes, practically screaming at how bad it was.

If so, I'll go with Laser Mission (Brandon Lee).

[fishwax]

90. Master of Disguise was so bad it gives bad movies a bad name

I'll clue you in to the end of the movie, since you didn't sit all the way through. It's one of those movies that, after it's over, shows "outtakes" while the credits start rolling--in this case outtakes of Dana Carvey doing more "disguises." Now, Roger Ebert has a rule (and I think he's generally right about this) that running outtakes over the credits (Jackie Chan movies excepted) is a sign of a very bad movie. But most of the time, I at least get a laugh or two out of one of the outtakes. The outtakes in MoD are horrible. Just horrible.

That movie sucked.

[Zavulon]

93. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

Much appreciated. I never could have made it to the credits. Ever.

[fishwax]

95. it was a sacrifice, I tell ya

I still don't know how I made it ... or why :scared:

[annonymous]

118. I stopped watching Master of Disguise after 30 minutes

That's part of my life I will never get back. The worst movies I saw all the way through were Ishtar and Drop Dead Fred.

[Fox Mulder]

76. No one said Glitter yet?

Seriously?

[Twitch14]

172. Nobody saw it n/t

[amerikat]

77. Jaws 5?

Forget the number actually but the shark terroized an aquarium.

WTF!

[Forkboy]

79. That was Jaws3D.

And yes, it sucked, but the suckitude was actually topped by the even worse Jaws 4 (hard to believe, but true).

[Shakespeare]

80. Probably not the worst, but I HATED "The Last Kiss."

It's one of the rare occasions where I actively discouraged friends from seeing it.

[stuntcat]

81. Kill Bill 2

We were with a friend at a weird dinner theater, the kind with cheesy fries and watery drinks, so I couldn't get up and leave.. and I had to stay awake.

I have hate for Something About Mary too. I've had to watch it twice (again, keeping company with relatives) and I do not like any of the people in it, it's just 4 hours I can't get back.

[graywarrior]

82. Coneheads.

[Broken_Hero]

83. Meet Joe Black, or the Crying Game...

I think Meet Joe Black was crap, so it wins...worst movie I ever seen.

[fishwax]

92. I didn't like Meet Joe Black either

saw about half of it before I was interrupted by a phone call. Never had any interest in finishing it. :boring:

Hey petersond! :hi:

[Broken_Hero]

161. Hey fishwax,

:hi: The only part of the movie that was slightly funny/good, was when Brad Pitt bought the farm in the middle of the road....

BTW, OU still sucks.

[NewJeffCT]

120. Meet Joe Black was instant snooze for me

I literally fell asleep 5 minutes into the movie and woke up with 5 minutes to go... much to the chagrin of my now ex-wife.

However, I can't say the film was the worst ever, since I missed 90% of it.

[LeftyMom]

Star Trek Nemisis

Incomprehensible, unwatchable crap. x(

[momophile]

84. Ishtar. nt

[OmahaBlueDog]

97. When I was in college, there was an Ishtar party game

Everybody got in a room and they put the Ishtar video in. Prizes were given to anyone who could remain through the whole movie.

[MilesColtrane]

86. Leonard Part 6

[bluesbassman]

87. Andy Warhol's Frankenstein

Only movie I ever walked out on. Dollar Tuesday night in Salinas, so I sure as hell didn't have anything better to do!

[AbbeyRoad]

89. The Doom Generation n/t

[devilgrrl]

107. Good call.

Total shite!

[MrCoffee]

163. This might be the thread-winner

:thumbsup:

[Adsos Letter]

96. "Gods and Generals"

...hands down...

[Hardrada]

110. That one actually made me clinically depressed!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

124. There's one good part in "Gods and Generals"....

....at Chancellorsville, when Jackson's men sneak up on the northern flank. I like the musical accompaniment where it starts off slow and foreboding, and just slowly rides to a creshendo until you get a full-out Wagnerian type furor. Probably the best use of music in a scene I can recall.

But the rest of the movie is pretty dull and drawn out for a war movie. It's a shame, because I throughoughly enjoyed "Gettysburg".

[driver8]

135. I work at Warner Bros. and we did a lot of work on that movie.

Needless to say, I had to sit through it three or four times.

I used to look ahead at my schedule, and when I saw "Gods and Generals" was coming up I would BEG the woman who did our scheduling to give it to someone else!!

98. "Horror Planet" (aka "Inseminoid")

Really bas early 80's horror flick.

"Wizards" the animated flick by Ralph Bakshi was awful

"The Remains of the Day" which should be worth watching just for it's cast, is in fact a huge snoozefest

Someone beat me to "Eyes Wide Shut"; "Ishtar" was also mentioned.

[devilgrrl]

102. Titanic

Worst script ever.

[av8rdave]

122. It's hard to make a good movie when everyone KNOWS what will happen in the end!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

137. ((SPOILER ALERT!!))

Geez, a little warning, OK?

[av8rdave]

142. Hey, I'm just sayin...

They should have at least had an alternate ending in which the boat didn't sink.

[SeattleGirl]

103. The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I tried two different times to watch it, and both times, I fell asleep. I have never fallen asleep while watching a movie before or since.

[Hardrada]

111. I thought it was amusing but then I like Halloween.

Was not amused when someone gave me a second copy as a gift though (accidentally) since I had been hinting at another flick.

[SeattleGirl]

114. I love Halloween

But did not love that movie. :)

[Hardrada]

166. You know there were some other Halloween movies.

I've never seen them though.

[sakabatou]

176. But I liked that movie :(

[badgerpup]

109. "Great White"

I'm in two minds about this one, though.:dilemma:

It's a low-budget, spaghetti Jaws rip-off with James Franciscus and some really cheezy, unbelievable "special" effects.

The shark is truly one badass denizen of the deep here, even though from some angles he looks like a blimp (and his fins, instead of being stable and immobile, flap like a penguin's wings).

He is so smart that he knows that if he pushes rocks, he can trap divers in a cave. :yoiks:
He manages to pull a freakin' HELICOPTER out of the air. :hide:
Just to show you how badass he is, and to get everybody into the right frame of mind (shityerdrawers terrified), he jumps out of the water...and ROARS. :rofl:

I saw this phrase on FARK:
"...it goes so far through the FAIL spectrum that it wraps clear around and goes straight into WIN.
Describes this movie quite well.
Too bad MST3K never got this one...they'd have had a field day!

[Hardrada]

112. I walked out on The Greatest Story Ever Told

because it had lines like one of the disciples saying to Mary, "So Jesus isn't at home right now? Maybe you could INTERCEDE for us?"

[Lil Missy]

113. "Little Miss Sunshine"

And another childish movie like "Are we there yet" or something.

I totally hated this propensity of my ex to gravitate toward childish and children's movies.

[Frank Cannon]

115. Glengarry's one of my favorite movies of all time

I think you have more of an appreciation for it if you've ever worked in high-pressure sales.

[old mark]

117. About 30 years ago, someone made a movie

of a James Joyce book. It was the most awful movie I ever sat through.

mark

[Hardrada]

178. It was more like 42 years ago. I saw it too and thought I'd had

more fun reading the book while drifting in and out of a stupor. This movie was one of the most wooden productions ever.

[av8rdave]

123. Message in a Bottle

[LucyParsons]

128. The Prophecy with Christopher Walken

on a date, in high school

:rofl:

[MrCoffee]

159. I love love LOVE The Prophecy

I can watch that movie over and over again...it's fantastic. It's not a great movie by any stretch, but it's soooo good.

[Iggo]

164. Great story.

Bad acting. Viggo was disturbing, though.

[Left Is Write]

130. Waterworld comes to mind immediately, but I'm sure there are others I'll be reminded of.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

134. I liked Waterworld.

Actually I liked any movie that came out in the summer of 1995.

Actually I just liked the summer of 1995 period. Best summer of my life.

[LanternWaste]

141. The Matrix

The Matrix. I could give numerous reasons (acting and script at the very top), but that would no doubt inflame the passions of the fanboys even more.

There are plenty of bad movies I am entertained by and enjoy just for being horrible movies (DefCon 3, the last three Star Wars movies, etc), but The Matrix is simply not enjoyable on any level...

[bif]

143. Napolean Dynamite

[jmowreader]

144. War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise

Oh My God what a shitty movie that was. It wasn't even FUN bad--you know, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes bad or anything like that. It was just a rotten movie.

[rashotte]

146. worst movie

i HATE all the mike myers films..feels like my brains are oozing out of my skull....

[rashotte]

147. worst film

im a newbie here by the way! howdy

[NewJeffCT]

148. welcome to DU

I disagree on Mike Myters. While I don't really love any of his movies, I can think of many that I enjoyed far less.

[vanderBeth]

149. AHHHHH

:puke:

[EstimatedProphet]

151. Toss-up between Mulholland Drive and The Black Hole

[Catshrink]

153. The Serpent's Egg

Bergman 1977.

[Rob H.]

158. Boxing Helena

Laugh-out-loud-stupid dialog, a ridiculous premise, a weak, sniveling protagonist, and a contrived "Gotcha!" ending that negated most of what happened in the lead-up to it--Boxing Helena has it all! :woohoo: :sarcasm:

[NNadir]

165. Titanic.

I guess they never heard of the heat capacity of water.

The ironic thing is that the movie was declamed as being "realistic."

Huh?

[Kingofalldems]

167. Can't Stop The Music

[DFW]

168. Last Year at Marienbad

I was nominated for an OBE, la Croix de Guerre, the Congressional Medal of Honor and
the Order of Lenin for being one of the few people to sit though the whole film and
walk out both alive and (some would debate this) sane.

[Twitch14]

173. Highlander 2: The sickening

Caught it opening night (on someone else's dime, luckily). Theater was packed with Highlander geeks; at the first mention of the planet Zeiss, 500 voices said, in unison, "What the FUCK?!"

And that was the high point of the movie...

[begin_within]

174. "The Big Lebowski" is the biggest disappointment I've had when renting films based on

other people's recommendations. It even has an average rating of 8.2 on imDb. But it turned out to be nothing more than a contrived cartoon with stupid characters and a script in which every third word is "fuck" or some variation of "fuck." It was as if the Coen brothers were trying to make a John Waters-style bizarro-caper movie, but it had none of the charm of John Waters' films and the endless parade of throwaway bit characters had none of the humanity of those that people John Waters' films. And Jeff Bridges doing an impersonation of Tommy Chong for 2 hours grew tired very quickly. Our neighbors show movies outdoors every other Saturday in the summer, and last summer when I saw it on their list I warned them about the language. We didn't go to that one, but at the next one I heard someone saying that of more than 30 people who showed up for it, only 4 stayed until the end - and 2 of those 4 were the couple that live there.

[Blue-Jay]

175. I don't know about "ever", but *recently* - Cloverfield.

It takes a special kind of suckiness for me to shut off a monster movie, but I did.

[Bennyboy]

177. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.........

God awful. Great book, worst movie ever.

[InkAddict]

179. Barbarella, hands down. n/t
