The worst movie with the best cast?

[Orrex]

Sphere.

Dustin Hoffman
Sharon Stone
Samuel Jackson
Liev Schreiber
Queen Latifah

and it still stunk like a big gold ball full of dead fish.


Your nominees?

[CreekDog]

1. Full Frontal was pretty damned bad

it was a high priced cast, if not necessarily a good one. :eyes:

the movie was total crap though, in any case.

[kwassa]

9. oh, Mimi Rogers in the buff was quite a sight ...

and the movie was not nearly stupid as Showgirls or Eyes Wide Shut

[CreekDog]

10. which is not saying much

:rofl:

[kwassa]

13. well, my standards are very low.

I ask for little from movies. I once believed film was an art form, but I've long since abandoned that concept. Most are a theft of my time.

[DarkTirade]

19. ... yeah, but that first sentance alone makes me want to watch it.

:P

[madinmaryland]

2. Death to Smoochie really sucked, but all I can remember is Robin Williams.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

4. Ed Norton, Danny Devito, Catherine Keener, Jon Stewart......

....there were a lot in that one too.

[Orrex]

7. That's a great answer

Dreadful movie.


Dreadful.

[fizzgig]

11. my sister loves that movie and keeps telling me to watch it

i normally don't trust her judgment on movies, but i'm especially leery of this one because almost everyone i've talked to said it sucked.

i do love me some edward norton, tho

[jobycom]

23. I love that movie. nt

[driver8]

28. I love "Death to Smoochy"!

Me and five other people...

It is very, very dark -- and I like it!

[Tyrone Slothrop]

32. I really, really liked that movie

I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable dark comedy.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

3. Short Cuts

Everyone know to man was in that film, and it was unwatchable.

Then again, that describes almost all of Altman's later flicks.

[Orrex]

6. I really liked it, in fact

But then, I'm a big Carver fan, so it was nice just to see his works brought to the screen.

And you can't beat Tom Waits and Lily Tomlin.

[Xipe Totec]

5. You set too high a bar

I can't beat Sphere.

I got bupkiss

[yellowdogintexas]

8. 'Pocket Money' should have been great! Lee Marvin, Paul Newman, Strother Martin

out in the wild west.

It was awful.

[kwassa]

12. A Prarie Home Companion

and I love the radio show.

Marylouise Burke ... Lunch Lady

Woody Harrelson ... Dusty
L.Q. Jones ... Chuck Akers

Tommy Lee Jones ... The Axeman
Garrison Keillor ... GK

Kevin Kline ... Guy Noir

Lindsay Lohan ... Lola Johnson

Virginia Madsen ... Dangerous Woman

John C. Reilly ... Lefty

Maya Rudolph ... Molly

Tim Russell ... Stage Manager

Sue Scott ... Makeup Lady

Meryl Streep ... Yolanda Johnson

Lily Tomlin ... Rhonda Johnson

[PaddyBlueEyes]

16. Hey

Im a huge Garrison Keillor fan... :hi:

[CreekDog]

18. That wasn't a bad movie

It wasn't that great, to be sure.

That said, any fan of the show had to enjoy what was basically a documentary of one of those shows.

[lizziegrace]

31. I agree with you CreekDog

I've listened to the radio show for years and even got to see a live performance. Garrison Keillor is a national treasure. But the movie? I couldn't get through it. Turned it off after 1/2 hour. I'll stick to the radio show. :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. I loved the movie because it was 50% the radio show and 50% a Robert Altman movie.

If it was just any director doing it, it would have been an uninspired retelling of the radio show, but Altman managed to maintain the spirit of the show while putting his own touch on it as well.

[Iggo]

43. That movie made baby jeezus cry.

An me, too.

Godawful dreck, it was.

[Brother Buzz]

14. Casino Royale (1967)

Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven, Orson Welles, Woody Allen, William Holden, John Huston, George Raft.....

[Iggo]

44. Great movie.

Okay, I was younger than 10 when I saw it for the first time. But that's the way it goes sometimes.

[pokerfan]

15. Mars Attacks just didn't work for me

But it had a tremendous cast: Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Martin Short, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michael J. Fox...

It was supposed to be another Dr. Strangelove and failed.

:hide:

[Orrex]

25. A fine nomination--I really hate that movie

From start to finish it's wholly unenjoyable in any way.

[Richardo]

36. I agree with this one

I've never been able to watch more than 3 minutes of that movie.

[Yukari Yakumo]

40. Plus it derailed Tim Burton's career for a little bit. {nt}

[Richardo]

46. Not long enough to prevent him from making Planet of the Apes

x(

[Drunken Girlfriend]

17. Earth girls are easy=Really bad movie.

This is a real tough question to answer,but the first movie that
comes to mind is the 80's flick 'Earth girls are easy'.

The film stars Jim Carrey,Geena Davis,Jeff Goldblum,and
Damon Wayans.

[Orrex]

24. Yeah, that was a stinker

It was clearly meant to be a "bad" movie, but it was also a very bad movie.

[Danger Mouse]

20. Fern Gully.

Lot of cool singers and actors contributing to what amounted to a pile of shit.

[Nevernose]

21. I loved Fern Gully, but I also used to smoke a lot of pot.

Maybe I should try it again without the chemical influences?

[Aristus]

22. "Everybody Wins." An awful little piece of crap starring Nick Nolte, Debra Winger

Will Patton, and written by Arthur Miller!

And it sucked. Really bad...

[Doc_Technical]

26. Viva Knievel! (1977)

Gene Kelly
Lauren Hutton
Red Buttons
Leslie Nielson
Cameron Mitchell
and a host of cameos by people portraying themselves.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076890/

[driver8]

29. Ha Ha -- we did some work on this movie a couple of years ago.

I work at Warner Bros. and this movie came through a few years ago; I think it was for HDNet.

What a piece of shit!

[Forkboy]

27. This is a gimme. Hurly Burly.

Sean Penn, Chaz Palminteri, Kevin Spacey, Anna Paquin, Meg Ryan, Garry Shandling...a ton of great actors all in search of a point.

[Deep13]

30. I liked it.

It was all underwatery and stuff.

[no name no slogan]

34. Can't believe nobody's mentioned "Ishtar"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishtar_(film)

Possibly the worst big-budget flop ever made.

[pokerfan]

37. Because it takes more than one great actor to make a great cast?

:hide::hide::hide::hide::hide::hide::hide::hide::hide:

[no name no slogan]

42. Go out to IMDB and have a look at the cast, not to mention the music director

I rest my case.

[Shell Beau]

35. I am one of the few who HATED this movie but...

Glengary Glenn Ross. It had an awesome cast.

Al Pacino
Jack Lemmon
Alec Baldwin
Alan Arkin
Ed Harris
Kevin Spacey

[Bake]

38. I couldn't get through the whole thing, it sucked so bad.

Bake

[Shell Beau]

41. I posted about it one time on here and everyone seemed to love it.

:shrug:

I bought the dvd assuming it would be great with all those actors in it. x(

[Mad_Dem_X]

47. I agree.

Terrific cast, but the film itself nearly put me to sleep.

[Bake]

39. Righteous Kill - Pacino and DeNiro

Didn't suck out loud, but I expected a lot better.

Bake

[monmouth]

45. Dick Tracy w/Pacino was forgettable also...n/t

[Bake]

48. It was bad. Really bad.

With some big names, too: Beatty, Madonna, Pacino, etc.

Bake

[dawgmom]

49. Forrest Gump

Oh, how I despise that movie.

[wickerwoman]

50. Bram Stoker's Dracula

which wasted the talents of:

Gary Oldman
Winona Ryder
Anthony Hopkins
Richard E Grant
Cary Elwes
Bill Campbell
Tom Waits
and
Francis Ford Coppola

oh yeah, and Keanu Reeves was in it too.

[dawgmom]

51. Oh, criminy....yes!

Keanu-can't-act-his-way-out-of-a-wet-paper-box-Reeves, doing an utterly atrocious English accent --and Winona Ryder doing an equally bad one. That movie was laugh-out-loud bad.

I'm a Coppola fan, but he blew it, big time.

[XemaSab]

52. Good call

I liked it at the time, but I saw it last year and was just like WTF.

I think I was 14 when it came out. :D

[XemaSab]

53. Love Actually

:hide:
