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

[Leroy Hoard]

I think there is a built in (and maybe warrented) bias against big budget films that suck. It's like nobody talks about the 6th round picks that get cut but everyone remembers the 1st round busts.

The ending of A.I. was interesting. It wasn't what I had hoped for, and it was totally unrealistic, but it was an interesting idea, I guess. The problem was the beginning and middle were so unbelievably bad. Every moment that Jude Law was in that movie sucked - I don't mind him as an actor but his character, and every bit of the plot involving him, was complete tripe. I'd rather watch the last 15 minutes twelve times than watch three hours of ridiculous nonsense that took a sharp left turn into a completely different ending that didn't fit what he was doing in any way whatsoever.

What? That ending was horse#### that a pig ate and then #### out again.Not saying the rest of the film was much better but that ending was turd custard (made from twice #### horse slop) and by far the worst part of that film.

The ending was mildly interesting. This is a story about an artificial boy who just wanted to be with his family. The family was long gone but he had a chance to see his mother one more time. He could only spend one day with her, would he like to do it now or wait? Would he spend it doing mundane things or try to make it meaningful in some way? There were some potentially interesting bits in there. The weird sparkly alien thing was odd, and it was all tell, no show, so I totally agree that it sucked, but if they could remake any part of that movie, I would rather they turn the end into a less sucky two hours than sit through some weird and totally meaningless journey with jude law through a flaming circus deathmatch and into an ocean. The whole movie was just so pointless.

The ending was a turrible attempt to give the audience a saccharine overwrought happy ending.ETA: Making a film about the overarching concepts from the ending may, in fact, be something interesting. However the execution of this concept in A.I. was garbage.

It was garbage in a sea of trash, but it was the only thing worth salvaging. The movie was a collossal ####up.

Without question, the worst movie I ever saw in a theater and stayed for the entire show was, "Spaced Invaders". It simply cannot be typed for the worst movie ever.

The only movie I ever walked out of was Any Given Sunday. That flick was a huge piece of cra@!

I went to see Monuments Men last weekend, and find it to be very disappointing. Not even close to the worst movie ever, but it had so much potential and failed on every point. War movie...comedy...Oceans Eleven type ensemble cast shenanigans...love story...drama...itfailed on all of these counts. Bill Murray and John Goodman; how was our not at least a bit funny?

Considering the cast & that Clooney wrote & directed it, when it got pushed back from an "Oscars season" release date to February the writing was on the wall for me. Im sure I'll still watch it at some point though.

 

[KarmaPolice]

oof. forgot about the video game movies. Super Mario Brothers and Double Dragon were horrible.

 

[flapgreen]

Mulholland Drive

How many times did you see it? If one time, then see it again.When I watched it the first time, my reaction was something like, "WTF did I just watch?" I gave it a second chance and it is now one of my favorite films.

Nope. I don't re-watch terrible movies in hopes ofliking them. Who the hell does that?

Umm, I did. I thought I made that clear. I did it that one time only because it was clear to me that I didn't "get" the film the first time I saw it.

I was in the same boat- saw it in the theaters and liked it ok, but was pretty stumped. 2nd viewing... still pretty stumped, but liked it more.

Garbage Pail Kids. Gut punch bad, even at 9 years old I knew it was awful.

Only The Strong - 1993 film about capoeira AKA Brazillian Dance Fighting

Is Gymkata so bad it's good or does it come full circle to so bad it's bad again?

This is how I felt about "Masters of the Universe" when I was a kid. WTF was that troll thing??? And a ####### travel/time machine?? Really!?

Gwildor sucked so bad

The Stuff

This was some crazy B-Movie stuff. Confession - used to be a fan of cheesy B-movies, so I tend to be more forgiving than most. This one is campy, and while it is not so over-the-top fun-level cheesy a la Night of the Creeps, it's still not a Worst of All Time candidate.

After all, what do you expect from a movie where...

Spoiler

... someone discovers yogurt coming out of the ground. He first eats some, then soon after that same yogurt is being sold across the nation. Of course, those who eat the yogurt become possessed or otherwise have their brains taken over.

 

[hagmania]

I liked V for Vendetta... and then I read Alan Moore's work. My god, what a travesty of film adaptation.

Mario Brothers. Still a campy good time. DD yea not so much.

 

[Osaurus]

Circle of Iron also comes to mind as well as A Boy and His Dog

 

[Bob Magaw]

Battlefield Earth with Travolta was pretty heinous and a steaming pile of celluloid.

 

[AAABatteries]

Anything with Julia Roberts

 

[sn0mm1s]

I made it through the first 15 minutes or so of Columbiana - not sure where that falls in the "seen it" spectrum.

The Usual Suspects

How can someone with such an amazing avatar be so far off?

Mars Attacks

This is th only movie that I have ever walked out of.

I loved Mars Attacks!

Caddyshack 2

/thread

When put relative that the first is probably the greatest comedy of all-time, hard to argue here.

That said, my wife rented "This Means War" (Chris Pine, Tom Hardy, Reese Witherspoon) last night. About two minutes in I thought of this thread. By the end I was convinced the the producers, director, and actors got together and devised a plan to buy a fancy box and collectively all take ####s into it and then sit back and make some money on it.

 

[Spike]

Rhinestone - Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone.

And Stallone sings in it! (Shudder...)

 

[Spike]

Bridesmaids. (after hearing how funny it was, well I found it terribly unfunny)

Stargate. (being high as a kite may have had something to do with it, not sure)

Watchmen (probably because it wasn't anything close to what I expected)

What? Bridesmaids was hilarious.

Maybe I wasn't having a good day, but I didn't even smile half way through and shut it off. Was mad I spent a $1 at redbox for it.

Watched all of it, all the while thinking, "When is this supposed to get funny?"

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I just did a search on cabin boy and came up snake eyes.

For shame.

You have to like Chris Elliot to like that movie - it's kind of supposed to be "bad".

I was, for the most part, unimpressed as well. I think expectations were really because so many people were telling me how funny it was. I might try it again as there were definitely some chuckles.

Worst movie I made it all the way through: Fair Game.

Cindy Crawford plays........a lawyer. It's not the "so bad you want to see the rest because it's a hoot" type of bad. It's "so bad it hurts waiting for the next horrible line" bad.

Worst (and only) movie I couldn't make it through and walked out on: Hair

Knew my wife wanted to see it so I took her on a date. And left the theater after 10-15 minutes. She says it's the rudest thing I've ever done but she's wrong; I've done plenty worse. I just will not watch #### like that, especially #### like that set to music.

Going out on a limb and saying you're under 40.

I'm 52 and think that movie was very cool...liked the music a lot also.

No, not under 40. The music is fine, as music. Mouthed by onscreen characters it's awful to me. I realize tastes vary. I hate musicals and that was the worst.

Some of the Troma Team productions were abominations.

Toxic avenger was good bad, movies like Nuke 'em High bad bad.

Hey! That movie kicks ###.

Poolhall Junkies is up there

 

[rockaction]

Sleeping With The Enemy. Probably irredeemable on all levels.

 

[rockaction]

Fried Green Tomatoes.

Also awful. Awful, awful, awful.

Kathy Bates, and just the worst portrayal of men ever to hit the screen.

Troma should have quit after releasing this classic:
