So, I'm sitting here watching the terrible remake of King Kong. I've been watching it for about 3 or 4 hours thus far (or so it seems) and I've yet to meet the monster.

This is not the worst movie I've ever seen-- but it's certainly in the same zip code.

What's the worst movie you have ever seen, and why? And is it worth seeing, just so you can say "I saw the worst movie ever made?"

Meet the Spartans.

Watch it and you will see. Supposed to be one of those comedic spoof movies. Lamest attempt at comedy ever. I was embarrassed for the writers and wondered how someone would think it was worth putting in theaters. Was even embarrassed for the actors. Only good thing is all the Spartans had nice bodies.

The obvious answer is "Plan 9 from Outer Space" but that really has too enjoyable a train-wreck quality to be really bad.

The opposite of good isn't bad, really, it's dull.

Two movies immediately come to mind. Both gaythemed.

The Last Year - NOT the Indian film, but the film about boys in a Bible College. The acting was perhaps the most horrible I've ever seen. The plot was absolute nonsense, and there was WAY too much crying going on.



Raspberry Reich - So bad it's actually a cult hit. LOL. Imagine german people speaking in badly accented english rambling on and on and on and on about a revolution. Quoting people like Marx here and there in a way that makes no sense to the story, cheesy overlays, repetition/echo effects of certain lines, artsy effects, and raw VERY explicit depiction of masturbation (one involving a guy with a gun), heterosexual sex, gay sex (both fellatio and anal sex are shown explicitly), and public sex. The most explicit I've encountered thus far in mainstream movies. I actually enjoyed it... for the porn. Haha. Overall it was so fucking awful it was awesome.

GLITTER

Oh and a 1992 short movie with a deliberately inflammatory title:

Gayniggers From Outer Space - (And yes, that really is the title ). Again the kind of deliberate bad that actually makes it hilarious.

Twilight: Nauseatingly soul sucking exercise in teen angst and shitty acting. Even the violence was muted and anti-climactic.

Skinwalkers: Worst werewolf film in the history of the horror genre.

I know there are worse ones, but I can't remember then right now.

I've seen plenty of bad movies. But this was so bad, I fell asleep.

Surf Nazis Must Die

I'm probably going to start a war with this one, but "Pearl Harbour" really bit the dust for me... terrible film. High production value, but I walked away from that one without a care in the world for any of its characters, and that's always been an indication of a bad movie for me.

The Country Preacher

What Dreams May Come

Event Horizon

Gran Torino- 2008 Clint Eastwood movie.
- Boring story plot
- Bad Script
- Worse Acting

A story about a racist prick who's every other word is a racial slur.

Steven Spielberg's "A.I."

'Heavenly Bodies', a Flashdance meets Rocky rip-off from 1984 pitting rival dancer-cize studios aganst each other in an hours long aerobics-off.
Simply dreadful, even by the standards of C-grade exploitation cinema. It makes Made-for-SciFi movies look like Citizen Kane in comparison.

'All Over The Guy', a gay-themed romantic comedy from 2001. Almost none of the characters act in any way resembling human behaviour. We've all seen terible romantic comedies where things happen because the script says they have to, but this takes it to a whole new level.

Both of these movies illustrate exactly how not to make movies.

Are you crazy!? Harvey Kietel shoving a pineapple up Hitler's ass backwards while he wears a tutu is fucking genius!

Umm, Dreamcatcher was pretty terrible and laughable.

So was the movie "The Exorcism of Emily Rose"

oh, and i can't forget...

The Black Dahlia... awful beyond belief, in every way imaginable

That ranks up there, but for me the worst is The Titanic.

Ok, the ship is sinking, and you're going to huddle with your friends one more time on a sinking ship, to play your instrument, one more time, rather than climb over people's backs to get off that boat as soon as possible? Please!

MeOhMy saidUmm, Dreamcatcher was pretty terrible and laughable.

Hands down my choice for worst movie I've ever seen. Morgan Freeman makes some horrible choices sometimes.

Not Without My Daughter
Body Of Evidence
Sliver

The Bikini Shop

Stop or my Mom will shoot- was on a flight- so bad I couldn't get past the first 20 mins!!

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS.

SpiderMan #3

Soul Survivor (hands down the worst. Low rate straight to video)

Any SciFi Original

Two come to mind:

"Marvin's Room" with Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep... more than a decade later we in the family keep reminding my sister for this choice at the movie theater. It was boring, slow and the interactions between the characters were so painful to watch. Ugh.

"W." with Josh Brolin.. Watching the news would have been more entertaining and illustrative, really... very little about his life previous to the 2000 election, nothing about the election itself, just meetings and praying.. the only saving grace of the movie was Richard Dreyfuss' majestically but subtlety evil Dick Cheney and Thandie Newton's sycophantic Condoleezza Rice.

For whast is worth, a couple of my favorite movies have been already mentioned here.

How can somebody not like Alvin and his Brothers? They were soooooo cute!

No for real, I agree with you on Spiderman 3 but there are far worse movies.

The one I will never forgett was "The Village". The trailer was about the best thing of the movie. I left the Movie with wishes to strangle the writers or ask my money back. (Both things never happend, but a man can dream)

All the movies previously mentioned are cinema verite, compared to "The Legend of Boggy Creek." It's about a monster in Fouke, Ark., and many of those in the film were locals.

anything with Sharon Stone


Passengers

Rolling Vengence

Rotor

Contact

Army of Darkness

Plenty of B movies to pan, but A movies:

Twister (you had to make Jamie Gertz a ditz-bag? Is that Phillip Seymour Hoffman performing fellatio on Bill Paxton?)
Armageddon (from the obnoxious Russian to the unnecessary deaths--that I cheered for--what a dreck of a movie)
Virtually every Sylvester Stallone movie
Sequels to The Highlander (1986)
Jurassic Park (yes, I said it) and its sequels. Cool dinosaurs, but...oh, never mind.

[quote][cite]for me the worst is The Titanic.

Umm, if you would know the history behind the Titanic, that actually happened in real life. The sad thing is would you really want to get into 15 degree water?

I agree about W. and the Black Dahlia.

Zodiac was pretty pointless, too.

Borat... However, I am going to see Bruno.

remake of When a Stranger Calls

Queen of the Damned

Gingerbread Man - think Child's Play but the killer is Gary Busey and he possesses a Gingerbread Man cookie and goes around killing people. It was awful, but somewhat tragically funny.

Signs.

The remake of Godzilla was pretty bad, too.

Street Fighter: Chung Li [horrible!]
W.: [bore]
Transformers: [too hollywood]

Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever. what a piece of shit this movie was. I love Lucy Liu (who I would happily switch teams for) deserves better role. Thank God she did Kill Bill to erase this stinker from the public's mind. It was ranked by Rotten Tomatoes as the Worst of the Worst.

the Black Mask with Jet Li. Holy crap did this shit suck!

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.

are we there yet ..the one with ice t----
seed of chucky

i heart huckabees

don't even get me started

King King... All of them... Big gorilla and innuendos to kinky monkey luuuuuuuuuv... Ew.

Ok I agree with Street Fighter but I thought the acress who played Chun Li really did the look well. But they should have wrote the character better than they did.

Batman Forever
Batman and Robin
Phone booth
Doom (w/the Rock)
Ghosts of Mars
Trainspotting
Mortal Kombat Annihilation
The Marine

I thought each one of these movies sucked SO BAD I'd love to learn self-hypnosis so I could forget I've watched them at all.

Lorenzo's Oil - ok, it's a true story, but UGH.

Are you serious?? That is a great movie.. are you bitter because you closely relate to a gay with " nothing to live for but a martini and a blow job"

Worst movie in recent memory:

Meet the Spartans ( and the abs were clearly spray-on )

I agree with Guilty Gear, Any SciFi Original movie

"Pulp Fiction." Supposedly a 90s classic. I stopped watching at the point where Uma Thurman starts vomiting. I hated all the characters and couldn't care less what happened to them.

mickeytopogigio saidPlenty of B movies to pan, but A movies:
[...]
Armageddon (from the obnoxious Russian to the unnecessary deaths--that I cheered for--what a dreck of a movie)
[...]

I put Armageddon and Dante's Peak (and maybe The Day After Tomorrow, too) on the same craptacular pedestal because they're each exercises in Murphy's Law run amok. It's like everything that can go wrong... does go wrong. I mean sure, granted, if you blast off to drill into a doomsday comet or you find yourself on a ticking timebomb of a volcano, you're bound to run into a complication or two. Something will probably not go your way (though something surely ought to go right, too). But I just felt like the odds of every possible catastrophe befalling the cast was a) statistically ridiculous; and b) anthropomorphized (and portrayed as actively malicious) a natural disaster. It was like the comet/volcano was "out to get them," throwing everything it could in a deliberate effort to kill them, and I refuse to believe that comets and volcanoes have vindictive agency like that. I mean the comet fuckin' growled at them for god's sake. Though I'll concede that if everything was going to go wrong, the characters of Armageddon did seemed each and every one stupid enough to find every conceivable sub-disaster in sight and position themselves smack in its maw. Ugh. Every copy should just be destroyed... and anyone involved in the film 'disappeared'... and the men in black should neuralize away the memories of everyone who watched it to see if those massacred braincells can be salvaged and re-purposed.

Also, I agree with the recurring condemnation of Meet the Spartans, and I volunteer along with it all the other stupid-ass movies made by those talentless, idea-less douchebags who rehash the same crap-alchemy formula (spoof the last year/decade of a given genre of movies a la Scary Movie, Disaster Movie, Superhero Movie, Dance Flick, etc) ad nauseum. If it's the only way to stop them, then they should be killed. There, I said it, they should be killed.

I gotta disagree with a couple of people though; Contact is in my top 3 favourite movies (for being the only movie to ever give me hope that religious believers and atheist/humanistic science-types might actually be able to co-exist peacefully in the end), and I really liked Deep Impact and believed it did right everything that Armageddon did wrong.

Hardball - yuck.

Never watch this movie "fear dot com." It is stupid and worst movie I've ever seen so far. It's psycho and make me feel sick at the end. Very very very gross.

TexDef07 said"Pulp Fiction." Supposedly a 90s classic. I stopped watching at the point where Uma Thurman starts vomiting. I hated all the characters and couldn't care less what happened to them.

I actually love that movie, but I remember people walking out of it in the theatre.

I hated Robocop II because it was a lot of automatic fire broken up by one or two lines of dialogue every 5 minutes. It was just nonstop stupid.

There was also a movie in 1993 or 1994 that I thought was so boring and horrible, that I forget the name of it. It just dragged on and on and on without really having a point. An aimless script sucks!

coolarmydude said There was also a movie in 1993 or 1994 that I thought was so boring and horrible, that I forget the name of it. It just dragged on and on and on without really having a point.

You forget the name of it because that was practically everything in 1993 or 1994.

Reality Bites. Forrest Gump. I don't think so.

Punch, Drunk, Love

I nearly walked out after 10 minutes. But the guilt of spending $10 made me sit in the seat next to my friend who loved it.

It was physically torturous for me. Hated every second. Not funny. Unrelateable. A total waste of celluloid.

Any Ed Wood movie, but as noted above, that's too easy (The movie bio about Ed Wood starring Johnny Depp, however, is great).

I'll nominate The Ten Commandments. Yes, the 1950s Cecil B. DeMille epic starring Charleton Heston as Moses. Tremendous but pompous & campy spectacle marred by high-school acting from major stars. Any movie in which even Edward G. Robinson looks like an amateur has got serious problems.

DeMille could command hundreds of movie technicians, but his direction of actors never advanced past his silent movie days. Viewed on a B&W TV with the sound turned off, you realize this thing could have been shot in the mid-1920s.

Watchmen was the worst for me. The only thing going for it was the nude muscle man.

Valkyrie - Tom Cruise is in it. Need I say more ?
November Son - Trouble sleeping ? Watch this film !
Street Kings - Keanu + Training Day = CRAP !
Righteous Kill - Two legends that need to retire and stop
torturing us with crap like this !
Quarantine - Speechless.

Raspberry Reich is fucking awesome! How can you not love a movie with slogans like "Heterosexuality is the opiate of the masses" or "There is no revolution without sexual revolution. There is no sexual revolution without homosexual revolution. The revolution is my boyfriend!"? Pure camp.

Hands down...."Shark Attack 3: Megalodon"

Youtube it...you'll see why

I know! But you have to admit. The acting was abysmal. It has that 'trainwreck fascination' quality about it. LOL

Without a doubt it has to be "My Super Ex Girlfriend"

Worst recently was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Terrible movie. I would avoid it at all costs—especially if you're a fan of Transformers. Way to shit on a franchise Michael Bay.

The worst movie I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot of horrid ones) is The Room. Two weeks after seeing it I still couldn't help talk like a man with severe developmental disabilities.

Here are some snippets.

Vanilla Sky & Hostel

Both the worst things i have ever had to witness.

National Treasure
Wolverine
Planet of the Apes [Remake]
Terminator: Salvation
Transformers
Mission Impossible [1,2 & 3]
Crank
the Transporter [1 & 2] OK, I watch these for the eye candy. Mr. Statham is hot.
Kill Bill [1 & 2]
Titanic
Battlefield Earth
the Graduate. [Totally overrated.]

I could go on but I think this is enough.

Let's see.....Jason Statham movies pretty much suck, they're all the same film!

The "Scary Movie" Franchise

Prom Night remake was godawful

The Hills Have Eyes part 2

SAW V

The Fog remake

My Bloody Valentine remake

Road House

Fast Food Nation

Bad Boys II

CuriousJockAZ saidWithout a doubt it has to be "My Super Ex Girlfriend"

Oh crap...I have that in my DVR right now!

Worst "A-list" that I've sat through (in a theater) would be Spiderman 3.

It took me two nights to get through The Dark Knight...was that movie just way too long?

ScottPensacola saidMeet the Spartans.

Watch it and you will see. Supposed to be one of those comedic spoof movies. Lamest attempt at comedy ever. I was embarrassed for the writers and wondered how someone would think it was worth putting in theaters. Was even embarrassed for the actors. Only good thing is all the Spartans had nice bodies.

I will go one farther than "Meet teh Spartens". At least it had enough gay humor in it to make it barable. But by the same people who did that......"Epic Movie" Another comedic spoof movie that was no where near funny. "Date Movie" is a close runner up to that.

Borat. I hate that damn movie. I've tried to watch it twice, but can't get past the first 15 minutes. And so far, not impressed with Bruno's movie trailers.

Munching Zombies, The Room is so bad it's good. That's another category altogether. I agree with H_is_lush that Vanilla Sky was awful.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend was pretty bad. I just watched it on TV the other night.

So many to choose from. How about "What Dreams May Come"? Stupid movie!

Titanic - I could only take 10 mins of it

Brokeback mountain - I lasted 15mins

Elegy starring Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz. Both acted very well but the writing, directing and plot were painfully bad. The movie was only about 1.5 hours long but when I left the theater I could have sworn it was 3 or 4...

Swept Away and/or Mirrors.

Oh and the 3rd Poltergeist movie.

Also, Basic Instinct.

For me any teen or dumb college movie pretty much

DrobUA saidGran Torino- 2008 Clint Eastwood movie.

I think you missed the point of the movie

A while back me and a few friends would get together every Sunday, smoke tons of weed, and watch Steven Seagal movies.

Hilarious, and available at garage sales and bargain bins everywhere

Undoubtedly, he did! I frankly thought it was one of the best movies I've seen in quite a while.

And I think DrobUA meant to say "whose every other word" . . .

terrafirma, you hit the nail on the head with "Punch Drunk Love". To this day, that is the only film I have ever walked out on in my life. I asked for and received a refund from the theatre manager. What a festering pus-filled boil of a work that was. Adam Sandler should have been drawn and quartered for that one!

RuggerATX saidRoad House

Whoa! Whoa! Fuckin Whoa!

Patrick Swayze has never looked better. The movie is loaded with testosterone. ONE OF THE BEST BAR BRAWLS EVER FILMED in the first 15 minutes. All of the girls were blond and hot. Kick ass fighting scenes, Swayze totally sold tha brooding kung fu hero former poet angle. Brad Wesley's henchmen were hilarious and the little one with the denim everything on was soooo cute. Not to forget: you get to see a monster truck destroy a car lot up close and personal. A guy get's his throat ripped out, ouch. A barn explodes, a hard ware store explodes, and a car explodes. Add tons of trash talk like, "I used to fuck guys like you in prison," and don't forget your blood squibs; Brad Wesley dies ugly at the end, LOL. A B-Movie yes, but a dern good'un, boy.

I almost forgot Napoleon Dynamite.... Ugh that was unbearable. I couldn't make it through.

And kudos to whoever mentioned Fast Food Nation above. The only good thing was Bobby Cannavale. Yum, give me some of his fast food.

dannyboy1101 saidI almost forgot Napoleon Dynamite.... Ugh that was unbearable. I couldn't make it through.

AGREED! Although I would also add Mommy Dearest to that. I was once forced to watch it in it's entirety. Now, I've been through waterboarding, fingernail pulling, cattle prodding.....but that was the ultimate in torture. I'm not ashamed to admit, I cracked!

Artifical Intelligence immediately springs to mind

Simone

Harry Potter

My Bloody Valentine

Apocalipto

Moulin Rouge

One Missed Call (american version, the japanese one was soooo good)

Knocked Up (I know I'm in the minority here)

Anything with Adam Sandler

The worst movie ever made might be "Hollywood Homicide."

The worst movie I've ever paid my own money to see was Armageddon. A lot of people on here have bagged in Ed Wood's films. Michael Bay is Ed Wood with a $200 million budget.

The worst I have seen are Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle. I wanted to shoot myself after that movie. It was just so stupid. The second on is The Weatherman with Nicolas Cage. I had to stop the movie and come back to it. I don't know why people would want to watch a movie about someones issues in life.

there are so many, but if I do not enjoy a film, I put it and its title out of my mind.

one that immediately comes to mind is:

Old School

I despise that movie.

Edit: I also cannot stand Harrison Ford.

I've walked out of only 2 movies in my life:
Body of Evidence
The big Lebowski

On my shit list:
Finding Neverland (I'm still in diabetic shock from the cloying sweetness)
Highlander 2 (never watched 3)

A lot of really crappy movies have already been listed:
Sliver, Punch Drunk Love, Little Nicky, Swept Away, Wolverine, Vanilla Sky,

Some listed movies that I really liked:
Titanic,
Basic Instinct (the Jerry Goldsmith music alone is worth the price of admission)
The Black Dahlia
Pulp Fiction (but I have friends who had to walk out)

I really liked Gran Torino and I like Contact and Trainspotting and Pulp Fiction and Titanic and King Kong - on some of you guys lists.

Glad to see though that Twister made some lists. I think that for me ranks as one of the very worst movies. I also despise most Bruckheimer flicks. Boondock Saints was one of the worst for me as well.

TRANSFORMERS 2

Twilight! Its over acted BS for fat women who cant get any!

The Love Guru- hands down. Closest I ever came to leaving a theater mid movie

Blackguy4you saidBrokeback mountain - I lasted 15mins

Really?! I thought it was an amazing film. Yeah the pacing was slow at times but overall it was fantastic.

The Unborn

Über-violent and so-called "comedy" movies like:

* Watchmen
* Apocalypse Now
* Kill Bill
* Animal House (Beavis & Butthead Do America exponentially surpasses that garbage!)
* Family & Friends (awful, AWFUL movie about gay mobsters)
* The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green (unbearably bad gay-themed movie; did I need to hear Meredith Baxter Birney, playing the mother of a loud, obnoxious gay son, cuss?)
* Trick (TIRED of watered-down gay movies where the leading gay characters don't kiss, hold hands, and mean any word of sincere sentimentality until the third act! Horrible and a waste of time!)
* Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss (another BAD gay-themed movie)

Gigli - starring Ben and Jen

Apocalypto...no question

In the Bedroom
Birthday Girl
Napoleon Dynamite (I know I'll get shit for this, but my ex and I turned it off after 15 minutes)

The first thing that comes to mind is Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. One of my friends in college rented it and it was so bad--poorly written, poorly acted, distractingly digitized--that most of us couldn't help but heckle it. The friend who rented it actually got pretty upset and left right when it ended, but seriously, what the hell was he thinking?

That was terrible—good choice.

The Room is excellent. You just have to have the right sense of humor. It's in the "so bad it's good" category. Much like John Waters movies. At the top of the list of movies that aren't bad enough to be good, for me, is The Matrix. One of the few movies I couldn't finish. CGI has never bedazzled me. Neither have small shiney objects.

Oh, and I agree with those that said Pulp Fiction. The only two redeeming qualities of that movie were: 1. The soundtrack and 2. When I saw it in my hometown in Texas and someone cheered during the anal rape scene it helped me decide I really needed to move out of that town.

Paul Blart : Mall Cop..... made it for about 20 minutes then had to turn it off

MePark saidGigli - starring Ben and Jen

So you're the one that saw that!

Very Bad Things with Christian Slater. Stopped watching after the hooker got hooked on the bathroom towel holder. Ridiculously awful.

I walked out of Observe and Report. That movie did not know what it wanted to be... it was like watching someone try to make a serious video of an 80's song... no matter what you do it's got to be funny or it's just awkward.

I remember long time ago I saw a movie of some killer tomatoes Love it!

I can usually sit through any kind of movie but 'Nacho Libre' hands down has to be the worst movie ever.

oh lord...ive seen a LOT of movies, but the worst ones ive seen, in no order:

Quarantine (the movie poster is the last scene of the movie...i mean really???)
Mirrors (Kiefer Sutharland sp? should stick to 24...)
Prom Night (the new one)

What about Volcano?

#1 WORST MOVIE .......DRAGONBALL. (the creator should be offended) upsetting that i went to see that.

Team America:World Police
DRAG ME TO HELL
CLIFFHANGER
MULLIGANS (gay independant film, or if it isnt a indep. film it should be)
MINORITY REPORT
17 AGAIN

Most Will Ferrel Movies excluding Step brother and Night at the Roxberry

THE CORE, I LOVE TROUBLE, HOLLOW MAN (Or pretty much all Kevin bacon movies), Proof, In good company, SCHOOL TIES, T3, High Fidelity

And anything that ends with MOVIE: Scary movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie and so on

Anything with Will Farrell.

Also, anything with Will Farrell.

And movies with Will Farrell.

Some other stinkers:

Evan Almighty.

Movies with "Ernest" in the title

Movies with Eddie Murphy

Howard the Duck

1941

The Trouble with Charlie (re-make of Charade)

Victory

Joe Versus the Volcano

Pret a Porter

Event Horizon

The Money Pit

Quantum of Solace (a HUGE disappointment)

The Age of Innocence

Catwoman.

It's just a completely train wreck.

"the lords of flatbush" starring sly stalone.

it was SO bad i hunted down the theatre manager and demanded my money back.



(i did get a coupon for free admission, no refund)

I have nothing to add to this listing since with very few exceptions, most have put the movie(s) that they hated most without being really bad cinema. Quite a number of them are exceptional movies. Some are mediocre and others are just dull.

I hated the movie Rocky because of technical failings of the movie as well as the contrived, predictable and manipulative story. I hated Chariots of Fire because I quickly tired to the point of annoyance at all the slow motion shots.Neither of these would come close to 'worst movie' though.

On a side note, a really bad film can be entertaining. I saw the remake of Great Expectations (with DeNiro, Bancroft, Hawke et al.) and thought it was such a failure that I was just waiting for it to end 15 minutes into it. I was with my sister who had studied latin. There's a scene where they come upon 'Miss Haversham's house' a sort of Grey Gardens in Florida. Over the entrance is written "In Paradiso Perpetuo". My latin is minimal but I had an idea of what it meant. I leaned over to my sister and said "What exactly does that mean?" She quietly leaned over to me and said "Something about chicken." Fortunately the theater was virtually empty except for an elderly couple so the remainder of the film turned into an impromtu "Mystery Science Theater" session for us.

Somebody mentioned one of my favorite movies, Moulin Rouge. I've watched it enough to know it isn't a great movie, but I love the anachronisms and the songs. Roxanne is the best of them all.

Lady in the Water. Hands down...TERRIBLE.

"Don't Mess With the Zohan" is the worst movie ever made... no really, it's the worst. Do I really have to explain why?

The worst I've seen recently is Another Gay Sequel - too bad because Another Gay Teen Movie was actually cute and funny.

Maybe not the absolute worst but probably one of the most miserable moviegoing experiences was the Oprah Winfrey movie Beloved from about 10 or 15 years ago. There is just something so sad about a movie that aims high - good cast, top notch director, based on a best selling acclaimed novel, etc. - but completely falls apart by the end. I remember I just kept waiting for it to end and being pissed I'd wasted my time going to see it.

Bojangles89 said
Prom Night (the new one)

I know, sad. I had high hopes for a remake. I had hoped it would be a throwback to the 80's, but atleast we got the real thing and that's nothing to sneeze at, check out the best part!

That last clip was a little slice of Heaven. Trying to remake that was a sacrilege. Saw the remake in a drive-in with someone who also loved the original and about 20 minutes into the movie we just got drunk, turned up the car radio and started dancing. Luckily there were very few people there or we would've got thrown out.

Zohan was pretty frickin' bad.. I also just realized that the Power Rangers movie wasn't as hot as I thought it was back in the day

I walked out of "Blood Diamond"

"Blindness" with Julianne Moore (who I love) will make you want to go fetal!!

I'm watching One Eyed Monster. The basic plot is that during a porn shoot at a remote mountain cabin, an alien entity posses porn legend Ron Jeremy's cock. It detaches itself and then hunts everyone down and fucks them to death.

"We're gonna need a bigger tampon."



"Ron's dead, but his dick is still out there and it's a mass murderer"

I thought the Devil's Rejects was the worse movie of my life. It was nothing but three hours of my life that I want back!

The Dark Knight: The movie had a poorly written, uninteresting script whose plotlines resembled a Picasso and were as hard to follow as a Christopher Rice book. The acting was dry, shallow and nothing spectacular, and Heath Ledger's constant reference back to Brokeback Mountain ("You complete me!") was more than a little annoying and distracting. The lack of any real action was evident, and the butt-raping of Harvey Dent/Two-Face's character was atrocious in that they allowed him to be on-screen for no more than five minutes after he became evil and then killing him off. The writers of these films are blatantly ignoring the history of Batman and are bringing nothing new to the series.

I also attend a yearly ceremony of the Smithee Awards honoring really bad movies which compete in categories like Most Ludicrous Plot and Stupidest Looking Monster. I'm not counting movies I've seen because the clips at the ceremony made them look so amusingly awful as to be worth watching and laughing.

But I am surprised by some of the entries from others. I loved Contact.

HAIRSPRAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Here On Earth

I'll give you a dialogue sample:

"So you have cancer?"
"Yeah."
"So can you die from that?"

StudlyScrewRite said"Dead and Loving it" a Mel Brooks comedy (?) about vampires with Leslie Nielsen.
ONLY movie I ever fell asleep during and walked out of. I got a refund. It sucked and not in a Dracula nor a sexual way!

OMG!

That's the only movie I've ever walked out of. Twenty minutes in to it, I walked back to the box office, and there were police everywhere. The manager asked me what I needed, and I explained that I wanted a refund. She told me that they had just been robbed and they didn't have any money left, but she could go to her office and write me a free movie voucher if I really wanted one. I figured she had her hands full, so I just left.

I can't believe this came up today, because yesterday 24HOCKEYNUT and I walked past the theatre that this happened at and I told him the story.

OMGBrad saidHAIRSPRAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Which one?

...that would be anything with Tom Cruise in it.

DRIVEN with Sylvester Stallone (2001)

Soooo incredibly bad, no plot whatsoever, is there acting in this movie?....I still don't have a clue what it was about and I swear this movie has the exact same scene played twice in it. After an hour I walked out of the theater. I've never done that before or since.




and more recently....THE HAPPENING....wow.....just not good. Why, M. Night Shyamalan, why? I know you are talented....but why this film?

captproton saidAnything with Will Farrell.

Also, anything with Will Farrell.

Add to my prievious listing, "Punch Drunk Love", anything with Jack Black in it.

garyinla saidSteven Spielberg's "A.I."

Well, the first seven or eight hours weren't bad, but.......

The Fifth Element

For worst remake ever....

The Day The Earth Stood Still.

The acting stunk, the plot made no sense, and the screenplay was awful....the movie just ended as if the director had no concept of how to resolve plotlines.

Incidentally, the original 1950s version of this (though, you have to remember the context...communist menace, nuclear weapons, science as all powerful) had superb acting, the plot hung together, and the movie resolved (also, the music was wonderful).

jpopenb saidThe Fifth Element

I love that movie! I enjoy anything about the future...

I detest "The Omen" remake from 6/06/06...completely campy movie and terrible acting...I laughed for a hot ass minute when Julia Stiles fell and landed on the floor...and when Mia Farrow was run over. ha

My votes:

"The Black Dahlia" - DePalma flick where you're asked to believe the following: that a man would want Hillary Swank over Scarlett Johannsen(!) and that (Mr.) Hillary Swank is a vamp(!). OMG, so awful!!!

"The Happening" - I genuinely believe they thought they were making something profound. "Run, it's THE WIND!" Priceless camp.

(Re: The Omen (remake), haha, Mia Farrow with an axe was quite unintentionally funny....I don't know how in the hell they got her for that tripe, but whew! I don't know if Julia Stiles is bad in everything but my gawd, she was a mess in that!)

Wow... so many to choose from.

- Titanic

- Crash (yes - the one that's supposed to be about racism, but is ACTUALLY about shallow hateful jerks in LA)

- Nearly any romantic comedy involving women.

- Sunshine (worst poor excuse for a serious sci-fi film ever - vomitously stupid)

- ANY MAJOR HOLLYWOOD REMAKE OF A CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD FILM.

Recently? District 9. I hated it. It started off with a good premise but quickly degenerated into the familiar scenario of violence, battles, good and bad guys (and aliens) etc.

And so what for special affects? There are millions of other good movies with great special affects.

Since this thread has been resurrected, I'll repeat what I wrote & expand:

Naturally anything from Ed Wood. His films were so incredibly awful that an entire movie was itself made about him and their dreadfulness. A fun movie in its own right, BTW, at least for me, and which won Martin Landau an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor as the dying Bela Lugosi.

Second would be almost anything from Cecil B. DeMille. Although considered one of the greatest film makers in his time, today we can see that while he was a master of cinematography and spectacle, he hadn't a clue how to direct actors.

He was still stuck in the silent movie era, and his talking pictures reflect that. His actors can hardly deliver a line, ruining what could have otherwise been lasting masterpieces. Only a few of his actors had the ability to direct themselves sufficiently to deliver lines with a believable realism that passes the test of time.

Anne Baxter saying "Moses, Moses, Moses!" is one of the high camp moments in all of filmdom. And when a legendary film actor like Edgar G. Robinson sounds like an amateur, you blame the director.

KissingPro saidRecently? District 9. I hated it. It started off with a good premise but quickly degenerated into the familiar scenario of violence, battles, good and bad guys (and aliens) etc.

agreed, but I'm going to choose The Spirit for this competition. That movie was terrible.

Watch it and you will see. Supposed to be one of those comedic spoof movies. Lamest attempt at comedy ever. I was embarrassed for the writers and wondered how someone would think it was worth putting in theaters. Was even embarrassed for the actors. Only good thing is all the Spartans had nice bodies.

That ranks up there, but for me the worst is The Titanic.

Ok, the ship is sinking, and you're going to huddle with your friends one more time on a sinking ship, to play your instrument, one more time, rather than climb over people's backs to get off that boat as soon as possible? Please!

Thank you! I hated that movie! Let's see, woman dumps millionaire for random dude in steerage (because we all know how often THAT happens).

Fast forward to the end, where Leo stays in the cold water and says, "Promise me you'll go on," before dying. Bitch please! The script shoulda read, "Bitch you betta move your ass over on that board, this water is f*****g cold!"

Oh, IC, OK. Well, I was kinda dismissive of the ending myself. I was in a theatre with mostly gay guys, and my BF at the time and a gay couple, friends of ours. They all started crying at the scene with the shirt at the end. I had never seen my BF cry like that before, and the theatre sounded like a funeral parlor.

And I was like, it's just a shirt! Plus I'm not easily moved by purely fictional stories. Show me something historical & tragic and I may cry like a baby, but a completely imaginary thing leaves me unmoved. I know too much about film craft to be manipulated so easily.

But still, I ask you again, the WORST film? I would think you could have a better candidate. Brokeback as a lesser film, perhaps, but not the worst, surely.

But it's so deliriously, insanely entertaining. It's like a high budget Ed Wood movie. It's way too much fun to be on a worst list. At least that's the way I feel about it. In fact, it's one of my favorite movies. Not because I think it's truly good. But it's so over the top, it's so ridiculous, the whole Nerfertiri plot is so . . . absurd, it's all so full of sex and piety and melodrama, but it does have a flair about it. It's just fun, three and a half hours of total, pure kitsch. Sex and piety, piety and sex. Old Cecil knew what would bring in the people.

It's hard to choose a worst movie, but I think I might pick Nine Months.

So bad I was actually angry at the end of the movie:

Armageddon

Words cannot express how much I hated this movie. The W.O.R.S.T. writing ever.
"Ma'am, permission to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I have ever known."

He did indeed, and how to promote himself as the Great Director. He even had a radio show in the 1940s. And he got to play himself as a director on film, rather well, actually, in Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" despite Wilder not liking DeMille personally, because of his right-wing politics. Plus DeMille loved to narrate his own films, as he does in Ten Commandments.

You know your films rather well, if I may say. There are parts of Ten Commandments I like to watch myself, mostly the big spectacle scenes, where DeMille is at his best. The rest is too campy for me, combined with the pain of watching great actors being misused and poorly directed. Only Charleton Heston comes off half-well, in my view, since his forte was playing larger-than-life hero types.

Another movie for which he's famous, Ben Hur, is another of my Ten Worst. Once again, spectacle combined with dramatic excess. Jack Hawkins, as the Roman Consul, ordering slave Heston to "Get back to your oar, number forty-one!" always sends me to the floor in laughter. And I don't care if the film won 11 Oscars, I still think the dialogue is dreadful.

Worst movie: the remake of Rollerball

Some "favorites" from over the years:

Mansquito (speaking of Sci-Fi Originals )
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0430334/

Galaxis
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113140/

Steet Fighter: The Movie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111301/

ANY of the new Star Wars movies!

Fun to heckle with friends while drunk on white russians... not much good for anything else.

Ok, so there's a lot of bad movies made on a low budget, and they can be quite enjoyable to watch just because they're hilariously bad. then there's the ever corny action films with Arnie, Jean-Claude, Sly, Seagal and of course Chuck Norris. Quite funny at times too, so not the worst.

The worst is when big budget movies (like Pearl Harbour) that are extensively advertised, with a well known cast, turn out to be utter crap. My personal worst was an other one though. Plot and story could easily have been written by an 8 year old and it went on for what felt like forever.
I'm talking about the HULK.... you could actually hear people sighing loudly and moaning in disappointment in the theatre (including myself) that's how bad it was. can't believe I'm the first to mention that one.

I take a great deal of guilty pleasure laughing out loud at bad movies. For that reason, "The Day After Tomorrow" stands out in my mind because I was actually asked to stop laughing when I saw it in the theater. That's never happened before.

I also love "Color of Night" with Bruce Willis because the shocking twist that the entire plot hinges upon is obvious in the first few scenes of the movie. It's so incredibly wretched!

My favorite bad movies, however, are in that genre where kids band together to save something (ie: a roller rink) from someone (ie: evil land developers). "Roller Boogie," "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" and "Rappin'" come to mind.

The worst movie I've ever seen that provided me no guilty pleasure whatsoever was "Contact." I'd seen the same plot dealt with in a more compelling fashion on a hundred episodes of various "Star Trek" incarnations. Jodi Foster gave the most scattered, uneven performance of her career and Matthew McConaughey's hair will live in infamy as the worst hairstyle in the history of cinema. The flip in front reminded me of Pat Nixon. At least that part made me laugh.

"What Women Want" starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt

Never see this movie.

Any movie starring David Spade. "Joe Dirt" would rank among the worst of the lot. Other than that, "Catwoman" with Halle Berry was pretty abysmal

Cheerleader Ninjas.

There were hooters, and they were bad hooters.

I'm sorry I don't see Mystery Science Theatre anymore, when the human and his droid companions would mock bad movies they were forced to watch. They showed some real dogs that would make the list here.

There also used to be a TV program, about 20 years ago, where live comedians had to improvise their own dialogue for old movies they were watching, some bad, some good. Sort of like a "Whose Line Is It?" only played against a movie screen. In fact, I think Whose Line has done that as a brief segment a few times. But I forget the name; anyone recall it?

Woddy Allen's "Interiors"
(HANDS-DOWN WORST EVER; followed closely, by :

"King Solomon's Mines"

"Sex, Lies, & Videotape"

...the terrible remake of "King Kong"

If I'd seen it in a theater, I'd have, vociferously, demanded a refund for:

"No country for old men" !!! (having that one make best-picture says a lot about hollywierd & their ilk)


...BTW, "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" was rad (...but I never got a second date w/ that particular chick . . .)

Weird as it may sound - I really can't think of any. I'm very selective about what I watch. So I watch only what I know I would enjoy.


******* Edit Post*******

I just remembered two

Van Helsing
Steel Magnolias

Cloverfield = Big piece of crap!

lots to choose from, any mel gibson movie, talk about your psychopaths, tarantino movies, attitude and bad taste are not substitutes for story and character development, the drive-in trilogy was awful.
any movie that wasted its budget and topic, pearl harbor is an example of that.
any movie that doesn't make use of its actors/actresses, tons to choose from here, but the one that comes to mind is hellbent, but then i'm secretly in love with andrew levitas...

come to think of it, they need to make more horror movies with beautiful people in them.

anyone care to start a new thread that discusses movies projected to be made that have a potential for awfulness?

zac efron as johnny quest comes to mind...
the cartoons had some thought put into them, am betting the movie only delivers zac with a new hair style...

Anyone who has seen a Bay movie knows exactly what they're going to get whenever they find themselves going to one: A lackluster plot with holes big enough to drive a tank through, shoddy dialogue, and lots (and I do mean LOTS) of explosions.

Have to call you out on Dances With Wolves. I have studied, and been indoctrinated, by various Lakota tribespeople (I am part-Cherokee, but Lakota is my basic "religion") and Dances With Wolves is nothing short of epic, brilliant, and captivating. And as one experienced in Lakota traditions and having some knowledge of Plains Indian history and society, the film was certainly better than ANY big studio films dealing with Indians ever released, with the exception of the Billy Jack films, Powwow Highway, and a very few others.

Same with Field Of Dreams, except it's ghosts and baseball, not Indians...

Both are Costner films.

Now, WATERWORLD on the other hand... oy vay!

Oh, I was a cineaste in my mother's womb.

Actually, my knowledge is somewhat limited. I know certain periods and certain directors fairly well, but there are big gaps (including most everything that's been released in the last 25 years or so). Growing up in New York back when there was a bunch of rep houses here, though, was a help. Not everyone had that early access to the great movies of the past (though now young people can see so much on cable and via Netflix so it probably evens out).

In terms of good, connected acting, I think the person who comes off best in The Ten Commandments is Yvonne DeCarlo, who takes her fruity Biblical dialogue, says it as if it's for real and somehow keeps her dignity. Heston always had a tendency to play attitude rather than action (as an acting teacher would put it). I do think that of the great movie stars prior to, say, 1970, he was probably the worst actor (though I never really got the appeal of James Dean as either an actor or an icon).

Of course, there's also Lauren Bacall. OK, Heston was the worst male actor. And though Betty couldn't act, directors somehow knew how to make it seem like she could. Sometimes.

Btw, Ben Hur was directed by William Wyler. He who drove actors crazy but made some great movies.

I must say, I enjoy THE TEN COMMANDMENTS mostly for the scope and spectacle. BUT, Yvonne DeCarlo rivets me every time. She was at her loveliest in that film, just a simply elegant, gorgeous woman. I mostly watch it for her.
It always cracks me up, though, hearing Edward G. Robinson (who was a WONDERFUL human being, BTW) among the Israelites, talking like a Chicago gangster from the Capone Era: "Who's the Messiah NOW?"

"My Super Ex-Girlfriend". Uma Thurman's stock had to plummet after that ridiculous movie

And to think that she was cast to be the foil to Anne Baxter, the sexy, glamorous, physically perfect princess. The scene the two share together demonstrates for all to see that DeCarlo was by far the more beautiful woman. Yvonne's best line in the film comes in that scene:

You lost him went he went looking for his God. I lost him when he found Him...

The expression of love mixed with resignation on her face was Oscar-worthy by itself...

Oh...! The UNDERWORLD series (lame lame l-a-m-e ass dialogue only a highschool heartbroken GOTH girl could create!.....& bad use of some CGI)


VAN HELSING (again, shitty CGI, & quite the shitty turnout for the 'looks' of the monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, etc)


the PROM NIGHT "remake" - Ohhhh, I think most of the "jump" scares were characters running into inanimate objects 'off camera' such as a.....WOW....LAMPSHADE!

the 1ST RESIDENT EVIL flick ..... had absolutely no feel to it like the 'game'. & hardly any zombies!


......more to come!

KyleAD saidAny movie put out by Here! films... really, any gay formula film... and any film with Nicholas Cage... if i could kill the man for how bad his acting was, i would...

I'd put Kevin Costner in that same group of really bad actors

theatrengym saidBtw, Ben Hur was directed by William Wyler. He who drove actors crazy but made some great movies.

Yeah, Wyler is one of my favorite directors. In fact, I seem to have a fondness for German-speaking immigrants who become Hollywood directors, including Billy Wilder, Fred Zinnemann, Ernst Lubitsch to name a few.

Of all Wyler's many great films, my personal favorite is "The Best Years of Our Lives," 1946. No spectacle or cinematic dazzle, the very unobtrusiveness of his directing style sets the perfect stage for performances of emotional depth that are memorable even today, the principal actors doing some of their best work ever.

To this day the scene where the returning Navy veteran shows his fiancee for the first time how he dresses with his artificial arms, played by non-actor and real-life war amputee Harold Russell, still brings tears to my eyes, no matter how many times I've seen this film. I mentioned in a post how the final shirt scene in Brokeback Mountain failed to move me, while all my gay friends were crying around me, because to me it was just a fictional scene. That scene with Russell was real, for him, and for thousands of other disabled veterans of WWII.

One of Wyler's finest achievements, that satisfies me much more than his Ben Hur.

TWILIGHT. Tween crap.

How could you? This movie is a classic! That Shania Twain story that was re-visited throughout was priceless.

JockChefJim said

I will go one farther than "Meet teh Spartens". At least it had enough gay humor in it to make it barable. But by the same people who did that......"Epic Movie" Another comedic spoof movie that was no where near funny. "Date Movie" is a close runner up to that.

The comedy genius that is Jennifer Coolidge saved Epic Movie. The White Bitch, so good.



I can't slim down my list, so I'll just go with the worst of last year, which was....The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Brad Pitt is an emotionless bore in the entire film. So dull, and so disgustingly long. Cate and Tilda were not enough to save this film. The should have made a movie about the guy who kept getting struck by lightening, that at least was entertaining.

imlistedhere saidTWILIGHT. Tween crap.

Bah ha ha ha ha!

Species II. I cannot believe the great James Cromwell agreed to be in this piece of slop. Furthermore, the dialogue for the lead back character was so racist I cannot believe he took the role ("I'm bout to go Africa on your ass!").

GuerrillaSodomite saidI'm watching One Eyed Monster. The basic plot is that during a porn shoot at a remote mountain cabin, an alien entity posses porn legend Ron Jeremy's cock. It detaches itself and then hunts everyone down and fucks them to death.

"We're gonna need a bigger tampon."



"Ron's dead, but his dick is still out there and it's a mass murderer"

Ok, now you must mean the remakes of the Halloween movies or the sequels. Because if I remember the "original scary michael myers movie" is Halloween....

I know because I am stuck watching it now. Adventure Land. Holy shit. My sister picked it out... for movie night for our family. Whew. Probably the worst I've seen to be honest. Not even a funny romantic comedy. Not even romantic. Fuck.

Zohan. It was *the worse* movie ever. It played off the most simple-minded Palestinian and Israeli/Jewish stereotypes. It was a "comedy" with no comedy.

The expression of love mixed with resignation on her face was Oscar-worthy by itself...

Now I've pulled out my old VHS of Ten Commandments -- I really should get this on DVD -- just so that I could hear this exchange between Ann Baxter and Heston:

"But I believe anything you tell me when I am in your arms. Why must you deny me -- and yourself?"

"Because I am bound to a god, and to a people, and to a shepherd girl."

"A shepherd girl? What can she be to you? Unless the desert sun has dulled your senses. Does she grate garlic on her skin? Is it soft as mine? Are her lips chafed and dry as the desert sand? Or at they moist . . . and red . . . like a pomegranate? Is it the fragrance of myrrh that scents her hair or is it the odor of sheep?"

"There is a beauty beyond the senses, Nerfertiri. Beauty like the quiet of green valleys and still water. Beauty of the spirit that you cannot understand."

You keep thinking he's gotta laugh in her face. Or at least end by saying, "And, yeah, I thought you looked pretty good till I saw her. Trust me, honey, you're OK, but she's gorgeous! Beautiful face and built like a brick pyramid!"

Truth is that without Anne Baxter, the movie might get a little dull. But there's just enough of her and she kicks it into high gear every time she's there. I don't think any other actress would have so fully embraced the absurdity of the role.

And are we really supposed to believe that Yvonne is plain Jane of the desert? That Moses is one lucky guy.

DeCarlo is terrific in that scene you mention. And it almost does seem like DeMille really knew what he was doing there in the contrasts between the two actresses in every way. It's one of the few scenes in the movie that kind of works dramatically and not just as kitsch or camp.

Yeah, I love Wilder and Lubitsch. I'm less wild about Zinneman, but there's a lot of his work I haven't seen. Didn't realize till I looked him up on imdb that he'd directed so much in the '30s and '40s. Most of those movies are kind of forgotten. But I do especially like The Sundowners and (granting that he had a lot to start from in this case) The Member of the Wedding, and I think he did a great job on Oklahoma! And, of course, The Nun's Story.

For some reason, maybe because it has such a great reputation, I've never really loved The Best Years of Our Lives, though I can see why others do. There's a bunch of Wyler films I like more: Dodsworth, Dead End, The Heiress, Carrie (not the one based on Stephen King! although that's a good movie too), even Counsellor at Law. I sometimes forget how many of his great films were based on plays.

The Ten Commandments was funny, the scene where the Israelites were leaving Egypt was more like a bunch of Americans packing for vacation!!! LMAO

Spielberg's remake of The War Of The Worlds had one of the most insulting endings in movie history. Absolutely stupid piece of shit.

I forgot one. All the homoerotic action in the world couldn't save Querelle.

Nope, you can't! Watch Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007) and remake or not, this may be the worst movie ever. At the end of the first scene with Michael's family, you feel the need to bathe..in church.

And Disaster Movie was aptly titled.

The second Matrix flick. The only reason I didn't walk out of the theater was because I paid $10 for the privilege to be let inside.

The remake of The Fog defnitely sucked with teeth. It was as if the whole movie said "LOOK AT ME!! HERE COME THE SPECIAL EFFECTS!!"

The ending to 10,000 BC made me want to hurt innocent children. It was awful.

What Dreams May Come is one of my favorite movies but I'm an artist so maybe that's why.

glitter with mariah carey. don't even know why i watched it in the first place

This one goes way back, maybe the early 70's. Stared Shirley from Laverne and Shirley

"The First Nudie Musical" it was about a porn producer who wanted to produce a muscial set to a porn theme.

It was so stupid, had a chorus line of women in dildo costumes, you get the idea...I think this is on the list of all time worst movies

Another scene had them doing a porn shot and they needed a guy with a huge weiner so they hired a "stunk cock", it was so bad

went to the moovie theartre
wanted to see a horror
missed the one we were going to see so had a look at the time table
oh heres one "closer" sounds like a horror title, starts now, lets go
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
im the kiind of person that if i paid for it i cant walk out
so began the most awful few hours of my life that i will never get back
had to drink wine through american pie 3 to keep entertained
each to their own i guess because in saying that, i can watch some pretty awful moovies and enjoy them hahahaah

The Happening

The Piano -- So wanted the main character to die just to find some joy in that movie.

where the wild things are.


ive never taken drugs, but i felt like i should of had a date rape soda and a bag of magic mushroom popcorn to accompany me through the movie.

if i ever decide to take acid youre all welcome to come over and watch it with me

Did anyone mention that Will Smith / Kevin Kline stinker:

Wild Wild West

awesome 60s TV show and remade into crap

oh, and The Avengers with Sean Connery, Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman.

dear god make them stop remakes

This is probably going to seem weird, but the only movie I ever walked out on was "Rainman". It's difficult for me to watch Tom Cruise in anything (If he were a game show host, maybe that would be ok)
Dustin Hoffman reminded me of High School productions of "A Miracle
Worker". I normally really like him, but when he's bad he's really bad.

For something campier I would go with "Valley of the Dolls" - another one that's so bad it's good

Mine is a tie between "The Informant" and "Happiness".

I couldn't finish the latter and "The Informant" I wish I could have left but my friend bitched that he spent the money so he was watching the movie no matter how bad it was.

Jumanji.

No doubt on this one "Dogville" of Lars Von Trier with Nicole Kidman it was very long and slow i thought it would never end...

"Vegas In Space", the drag outer space musical

Movie called "The Ten" with Paul Rudd. Was THE worst movie I have ever seen. There was maybe 2 parts in the entire thing that made me smile, that's about it, and it isn't hard to make me laugh. Me and my friend eventually walked out of the theatre. To make it worse, there were 5 girls in front of us laughing at everything. Made me want to slapahoe(or 5).

The Blair Witch Project - grade A garbage

The worst movie of all times is Dracula 3000. There's no plot and you sit through the movie trying to figure out what it's about and then it just ends! It's fucking retarded. Makes you want to throw something at it and smash your tv. Never watch it, you'll want your time back.

I'm sorry but Scary Move 2 was way funny

My father was a movie theater manager and I grew up on a steady diet of films, good, bad, cheesy, awesome, schmalzy... I enjoy them all.

I've only ever walked out of two.

"Popeye" left me gagging for fresh air

"Dungeons & Dragons" took my favorite game and made a mockery of it... and not on purpose. I ignored friends entreaties not to watch it and threw my money away anyway. Couldn't get to the end. A half-hour of walking home was more precious and meaningful to me than seeing how it all turned out.

Tea with Mussolini was pretty bad... however, what's bad depends o a current point of view...
I didnt like Harry Potter and the Curse of the Half blood Prince, however, Im not the intended audience, either.

i tend to criticize big budget films that do not have interesting character dynamics: I need to care about the characters or it's a snore

Hated "Rainman" also, and to think Hoffman won an Oscar for that performance. "Valley of the Dolls" is in a categorty almost by itself. You have to think that the director was intentionally going over the top into high camp. No one would set out to make that film without tongue planted firmly in cheek.

I categorize truly bad movies as films that were intended to be thoughtful, serious art that hilariously missed the mark. Like "Yentl". Teen sex comedies, slash horror and direct to DVD science fiction don't really qualify since they are by nature exploitative and awful (the lone exception being most of John Hughes' work)...

worst bad movie: Pirates of the Caribean 3. Not even Jonny Depp could save this film from it´s incoherent plot.

Worst good film: Hable con ella. Almodóvar has some really great films, but this is not in the list. I was so bored I wanted to die.

State and Main--It was so bad, it made me angry that a studio would actually release such dreck.

The Sound of Music--I walked out. The sound of Julie Andrews voice makes me want to kill.
The doctor who botched her throat surgery should have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Reds--I walked out. Boring, boring, boring...

A Passage to India-- Nothing happened. Boring, boring, boring...

Lawrence of Arabia-- Nothing happened. Boring, boring, boring...

Give me something that will make me care about the characters.

I think I will have to say "I Know Who Killed Me" starring Lindsay Lohan

IHG84 saidI feel like I've been violated or something

Any time, babe

I think a lot of the criticism here is generational.

I mean, David Lean made some of the best epic films in the history of moving images, "Doctor Zhivago" and "Lawrence of Arabia" among them. Would they be as successful today? Probably not. No question the whole movie-going experience has changed. But back in the 60's, these are the movies people went to the theater to see. The pace was slower and more deliberate. And Lean took his time with individual shots. Consider the approach of Omar Sharif on a camel in "Lawrence." The single shot of him takes up whole minutes. That would never be attempted in a contemporary film. Today's moviegoers simply don't have the attention span.

Another example cited above: "2001: A Space Odyssey." It's easy for someone to dismiss it because it is not a conventional movie. I saw it at the premiere in Boston with my parents in 1968. It left everyone scratching their heads. But it was a mind-blowing movie nevertheless. Remember, Kubrick had little to work with, save Clarke's original story.

The stuff he created onscreen such as the Pan Am spaceship approaching the rotating space station had never been attempted before. To make the spacecraft in the film look credible required inventing technology that was ground-breaking for the era.

Keep in mind "2001" pre-dated "Star Wars," and that movie also required the creation of computer-aided cameras. Kubrick never made movies for the public--only himself. MGM was brave to release it at all. The finished movie might seem slow-moving and dated now, but I can assure you younger guys that it deserves its place among cinema classics for its inventive approach to the banality of space travel. That was the whole point. A chat on a space phone? Directions for a space toilet? Kubrick was looking ahead 34 years and trying to envision a society where space travel was mundane. Hell, we hadn't even landed on the moon yet when the movie opened.

And while Jason Statham's movies all seem to be the same, I don't care. I think the chase scene that opens the first film is amazing. And so are Statham's pecs. That's why I watch. To hell with the story. lol

The worst movie I have ever seen, or will ever see, is Kentucky Fried Movie!
Someone I volunteer with at an animal shelter was just going on and on about how funny it was. So this dolt invited some of us to his dank hovel to view this waste of time!! I just had to leave.

Dude, stay away from anything by Merchant and Ivory.

Also,
Gotta agree with both Spiderman 3 and POTC 3. I actual was embarrassed for Tobey and Johnny.

I'll add
JAWS 2, 3, and 4. JAWS 4 was by far the worst. Michael Caine must be still kicking himself for this one, he missed accepting his Oscar for this movie. Can anyone explain how stupid you have to be to moved to another island to get away from the memories of a shark? I'd have chosen, say Kansas City?

The blair witch project.

The only thing that was good about this was the marketing concept. But really, it was like opening a present to find nothing inside the wrapping.

The Night Listener -- I think I am the only 3 people saw this terrible misadvertised movie!

All of Michael Bay movies -- I LOVE popcorn action movies but his movies just BLOWS chunks!! Give me a few more years when my senility hits me then I will enjoy his potholed filled plot lines!

Jason Stratham -- need to get a new talent agent and make some good movies. He is a waste of talent and quite a looker too ..... CRANK series... WTF!

Gone With The Wind -- frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!!!

Any slasher porn genre -- i.e. HOSTEL, SAW, House of 10000 Corpse ... WHY? Can no one write and make a good well-crafted horror genre today??

Any remake of horror classics .... the frakker who remaked When A Stranger Calls should be frakking shot! Just ruined a classic.

300 and Watchmen -- yes, I have said it! Visually stunning. Homoerotic. But, over-rated! 300 -- calm the frak down, start acting and stop yelling. Watchmen -- ov vey, how much exposition can one take?

And my list is endless .....

Did someone hold a gun to your head or what made you watch it?

I think, you have to be on some mind-altering substances to enjoy snooze-fest "2001 - a space odyssey". I heard that many in the audience were, when the movie first came out.

As for the David Lean's, it's not for nothing that they are called epics. I love most of them.
