Worst Movie You’ve Seen (1 Viewer)

Under the Skin with Scarlet Johanson gets a nomination from me.

She even gets naked, yet it remains easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen.  Outside of the minute of nakedness, not one redeeming quality.  Not even a "so bad its good" quality at any point.

 
Eraserhead.

Big David Lynch fan but this entire movie made me uncomfortable and really pissed off.  It was the most agitating, aggravating movie I have ever seen in my life.

IN - before the moviephiles come in here to lecture me that the movie was supposed to make me feel that way.  

 
When I was in college, my best friend and I would catch a movie every weekend.  It didn't matter what was out.  We'd get there an hour early and play pinball until a movie we wanted to see started.  We compare every bad move to The Lawnmower Man.  That is our worst movie.  I know I have seen worse since then, many listed above, but we still use that one.

No idea how you guys are coming up with Matrix/Tropic Thunder/Tenenbaums as the worst movies.  I can watch a movie that doesn't suit my sense of humor and recognize that it has redeeming qualities that others will appreciate.

Is that the cartoon where they were on a rollercoaster or some D&D ride and they warped into D&D world?

Willie Aames, Donny Most, and Adam Rich were three of the voices I remember

Re: The Room
Not true.  The real reason is that it's now the in-thing to like this movie for being so bad, it's good.  And the truth is that, yep, it's bad.  So bad, it's entertaining.  I think I named it the last time this thread popped up.

But my pick for worst movie that hit the big screen is:  Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie.    Find something redeeming in that pile of filth.  I'd rather watch Howard the Duck on repeat for a week.

I used to watch the Nostalgia Critic, who reviews these movies, and he has stated that Garbage Pail Kids is so bad, he literally couldn't finish the film.

 
The two worst I have ever seen I unfortunately saw consecutively. The first Blair Witch movie was getting heavy hype, so I was expecting something exceptional. Wow, was I in for a surprise. Just brutally bad from start to finish. I was actually mad that I stayed to the end.

Followed that one up with a Midsummer Night's Dream. This is probably the worst of all time for me; truly made me want to scromit (a new word I learned this week).

Just checked out Birdemic. Wow, they spent about $10,000 on it? That was about $11,000 too much.

I don't think movies like this count.  There should be another thread for movies that are awesomely bad.  Like Basket Case.

That’s why I picked Avatar. Have to take in to account budget and expectations. There are certainly much worse movies than Avatar if judging just by quality but B-movies don’t have a budget the size of some countries GDP.

 
This is a tough topic.  Most bad movies I see I expect to be bad.  Like Blair Witch 2, I loved the first one but figured the sequel would suck.

And I don't think something like Independence Day should count either, it's a lowbrow alien/action flick.  Of course it's going to be "bad" from a critic standpoint, but it can still be enjoyed.

I'd have to say one movie that I found horrible that I wasn't expecting is Hoodlum.

 
The Homesman. My daughter and I were really excited to see this movie. Had a great cast (Tommie Lee Jones,  Hilary Swank,  Meryl Streep, John Lithgow etc). Also had a very interesting plot (Swank attempting to take three women who had gone insane in the old west to a home where they could be treated).

We were incredibly disappointed. It was so boring and all these great actors performances were very flat ( Except Jones, who was also the director).

Ranks right up there with "Phantom Menace" level disappointment

A horror movie called "Tusk".  It was the worst I've ever seen.  I only watched it because Kevin Smith did it, a mistake I will never make again.

So agree with this. Went in OK , Smith is involved, it will be OK. The whole process made me  :X

Guilty as Sin. Starring Don Johnson and Rebecca De Mornay as his attorney. 

:Spoiler:

Don is accused of murdering his wife. Which, as he cheerfully tells his attorney, he did. She doesn't believe him. Terrible movie ensues.

Oh man I almost forgot how bad ID2 was. That was a real stinker.

Yeah I agree, it's not a movie that should have been good but sucked like some of the others, but as far as overall filmmaking I had to at least bring it up

1. Nothing to do with the original 

2. It has goblins, not trolls

 
Hudson Hawk is a piece of garbage. I'll add another vote for The Royal Tannebaums too - that one is utterly painful to sit thru as well.

The scene when he's making a sandwich is hilariously awful.

81% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Now i must see it.

It's on Netflix

 
Blockbuster category: Godzilla  (Matthew Broderick version).

Toho killed him off in 1995 and greenlit TriStar to revive him in the first American version with a huge special effects budget that dwarfed what the Japanese spent on his movies.  TriStar was planning on a trilogy as they thought they had a property that would rake in billions.  The production was done in intense secrecy as was the promotional campaign: The reveal of what an American Godzilla would look like was going to be a surprise that would blow you away.  Billboards and banners were placed all over NYC with teasers of his size ("his tail is as long as this city block").

Then the movie released.

Then Toho and TriStar put the trilogy idea on hold.

Then Toho resumed making their own Godzilla movies a year later after killing him off just 4 years prior.  They desperately wanted to wash the stink off of their creation after what TriStar did to it.  Toho even made a film in 2004 in which Godzilla swiftly killed the American version.

Then Legendary got the rights and made an okay American version in 2014 and now they, not TriStar, are making the trilogy.

In a world where movie studios take a property and crank out one uninspired sequel after another (looking at you, Transformers), it takes a special effort to kill that model.  Yet TriStar did exactly that with 1998's Godzilla. That's its own category of awful.

The 2004 movie you're thinking of where Godzilla curbstomped Zilla (that's the name they gave him) is Godzilla: Final Wars. It's pretty good, I think.
