What's the worst movie you've ever seen? (2 Viewers)

Like Andy said, I think people who think Fight Club is violence porn missed the point of the movie. 

 

[BowieMercs]

Yeah, I addressed that too, and my post still stands for this thread.  Unless you have only a handful of movies, something like Thin Red Line shouldn't be mentioned.  

My opinion is stuff that doesn't meet the criteria posted isn't a terrible movie in the first place, so shouldn't be in the discussion.  Obviously you disagree with my theory.  

I guarantee if I started a new thread the responses would be the same.  

There were no such guidelines at the top of this thread and declaring rules 25 pages in is sorta  stupid . If the average FBG can't follow simple instructions, we all may have overrated the average FBG.

I thought I took this too seriously.  I didn't declare anything, just gave my opinikon

I will direct you to the "women I find oddly attractive" thread for proof the FFA doesn't understand rules.

Maybe i misread these as rules/guidelines... if so, mea culpa

What I had at the top of my head:

1.  It has to to have all of:  bad direction, dialogue, plot, and acting. 

You know, basically no redeeming quality.  IMO that takes out a lot of movies that are listed.  As much as I hate Wes Anderson movies, they don't belong because they are fantastically shot and have sharp dialogue.  Something like Thin Red Line belongs nowhere near the lists b/c again, it is a beautifully shot movie.  I think an easy way to look at this is probably....

2.  It can't have won or been nominated for any major awards besides a Raspberry. 

I guess we can maybe bring up examples but I can't think of any truly terrible movie that would qualify. 

3.  It can't have an average to above average rating.

Sorry, but if 50% of people like it, it's probably not a movie that should talked about as worst ever.  So I can't claim that Fury Road is the worst movie ever. 

4.  It can't be trying to be bad. 

This takes out stuff like Sharknado and the like.

It's another terrorist training film, like very for vendetta  but at least it had redeeming qualities, unlike v for vendetta

Now I have to find a pic of Marilyn Munster to post over there. The poor girl was the least attractive member of the household.  

Pat Priest... the 2nd Marilyn Munster  . Posted here so as not to cause a war in the ugly but hot thread

And more recently the Famous People you've had a Beer with thread .

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Actually paid money to see this in a theater.  Crawford shows her hogans.  Even that couldn't save this movie from being a horrendous pile of turd.

fyp

It's true.  I came here to post the same thing and burst your bubble.  It broke my heart when I found out.  I now own a DVD of this movie for no reason at all.

 

[BowieMercs]

Nearly everyone has had some brush with fame, but who have you sat down with and had beer (or other beverage)?

Is there a business analyst in the house? Hey @Foosball God, Can you splain to the FBG Nation how to communicate instructions/requirements?

Anything not explicitly declared and agreed upon is left to the discretion of the implementer.

Just watched Fifty Shades Darker with my wife.

It's pretty bad.

 

[RandyDB]

I just watched Barbarella awhile back, and man was that a bad movie. But I would watch it again.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Just watched Fifty Shades Darker with my wife.

Oh wow.  That 1st one was god awful.  Sorry you had to endure that. 

(btw, was it worth it?? )

 

[MikeIke]

Just watched Fifty Shades Darker with my wife.

It's pretty bad.

I was just discussing the first one with my wife.  I told her that I'd  never seen a move with so much sex and nudity that completely failed to turn me on.  She agreed. What a waste. 

 

[MikeIke]

Yeah it's pretty darn bad,  but in a fun way.  Kind of like Flash Gordon. 

 

[mr. furley]

Not the worst ever, but going from great expectations to horrible reality was The Thin Red Line. I had such high hopes, but was never more pissed off at the end of a movie than I was after that piece of dogsh#t. 

ooh, good one. i too wound up being pissed at the end.

Looks like you did a fine job.  If you didn't spell it out in the requirements then don't come #####ing to me when it isn't implemented how you want it.

 

[lakerstan]

I found the first one incredibly tame and not sure what all the fuss was about, but then I remembered I have 2+ decades of internet pron that I am comparing it to...

 

[Snoopy]

Not that i saw listed:  Reefer Madness

 

[flapgreen]

You are a very strange fellow.

I am

 

[General Malaise]

Like Andy said, I think people who think Fight Club is violence porn missed the point of the movie. 

Nope.  It's not that difficult to understand.  Just difficult to watch.  Really not that provacative.

 

[mr fancypants]

The latest Jack Reacher movie. I cringed through that whole mess.

 

[mr fancypants]

Yeah it's pretty darn bad,  but in a fun way.  Kind of like Flesh Gordon. 

FYP

That movie did have its moments.

Oh, cum on!

Forest Gump. 

Nowhere near the hype it was producing...Ergo, worst movie I've ever seen.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

Forest Gump.

Soundtrack alone makes this post terrible...

 

[shadyridr]

Fight Club is my #1 favorite movie

Obviously not worst ever, but it's not a good movie. 

 

[peaces]

Eraserhead

 

[KarmaPolice]

Eraserhead. 

You guys are doing this wrong  

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

A couple other legitimately terrible movies:

Heartbeeps

Americathon

These may not quite be on the level of Plan 9 from Outer Space or the Room, but they are truly awful, awful movies.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

This remains one of my favorite quotes of all time in FFA history.  So good.

My work here is finally done then.  I can finally set down my burden and just start walking the earth like a bitter, underemployed Kane. 

(And Eyes Wide Shut is still, undeniably, an utter piece of excrement.)

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I just watched Barbarella awhile back, and man was that a bad movie. But I would watch it again.

It has visual elements that make it a good bad movie. Also for better or worse, it gave us Duran Duran.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Eraserhead

I turned it off after about 30 minutes. I could tell I was going to hate it

 

[El Floppo]

Saving Private Ryan had some boring parts, plus Ed Burns can't act. Ergo, worst movie ever.

 

[Soulfly3]

Eraserhead

you got your good thing, I got mine

 

[El Floppo]

Life is Beautiful had way too much Italian schmaltz, ergo worst movie ever.

I mean, couldn't they just speak American??!!

 

[Anarchy99]

Just watched Fifty Shades Darker with my wife.

It's pretty bad.

The second one makes the first one look Oscar worthy for Best Picture by comparison.  I'm trying to think of a redeeming quality. And I can't come up with one. 

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Just watched Fifty Shades Darker with my wife.

It's pretty bad.

Jesus, dude.  

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Speaking of Thin Red Line...Tree of Life is garbage.   Malick sucks.

 

[El Floppo]

Saving Private Ryan had some boring parts, plus Ed Burns can't act. Ergo, worst movie ever.

Speaking of Spielberg, 1941 and Hook are horrible, plus I didn't really buy the story of Schindler's List. Worst director out there.

 

[Plainfield John]

Oh wow.  That 1st one was god awful.  Sorry you had to endure that. 

(btw, was it worth it?? )

I attempted to watch the first one with my wife last night. What a disaster. I thought it was boring as hell and started dozing off 20 minutes in. Once I snapped out of it, I was questioned every couple of minutes whether I was still awake, which was even more irritating than having to pretend I had any interest in the movie.  

Then we had to pause it about an hour and 5 minutes in because our 2 year old woke up and started crying. My wife went up there to try and calm her down while I googled info on how to deal with a toddler that suddenly has trouble sleeping (we had had a lot of trouble even getting her to bed in the first place last night). My wife couldn't get her to stop crying and gave up and came back downstairs. I told her what I had been looking up thinking it would get me some points since I wasn't looking up sports stuff, which is what I would normally be doing. Instead, I got a condescending comment about how doing that was worthless. I responded "OK, guess it was stupid of me to try to do something to help our daughter".  

My wife then told me that I was being an ####### all night (apparently I wasn't enthusiastic enough about this piece of crap movie) and that she was going to bed.  So instead of getting me laid, this movie prevented it. Huge disappointment after investing an hour and 5 minutes of my time in it during my alma mater's basketball game against their biggest rival.

The best part is that after all that, I went to my daughter's room and got her to sleep within 10-15 minutes (which is pretty good considering how bad she was fighting going to bed), then returned to my room to find my wife fast asleep. For all the crap I got while we were watching the movie about being awake, I thought it was pretty funny how fast she fell asleep.
