Worst Movie You’ve Seen (1 Viewer)

These are all movies that I have seen.

Winner:

Michael - Rented this for a movie night with another couple.  The girls picked this movie.  They are no longer allowed to pick a movie again.  Just Horrific.  How the hell did this movie finish #1 at the box office it's opening week and #16 for all of 1996?
Didn't see it in the movies, but I actually enjoyed it.  I thought it was pretty hokey and loved Travolta as a fat slob.  Battle......

 
I think a lot of it has to do with the age you watched the movie perhaps...

"Out of Africa" comes to mind as the worst movie I've ever seen.. But I was 12 years old and my mom dropped us at the movies.. I imagine we were probably there to see "Back to the Future" or "Goonies".. I can't remember.. All I remember is whatever we were going to see was sold out.. "Out of Africa" was our only choice...

12 year old Playin4beer says, "Worst......Movie.....EVER!"

 
my older brother tried to sneak me and his girlfriend into "The Breakfast Club" when i was a freshman in high school. we bought tickets to a different movie but were caught as we tried to drift over to "The Breakfast Club". We got redirected and sent back into "Fast Forward" .

 
Of all the stupid "twists" M. Night has offered, The Happening garnered an audible and angry "the f*cking trees?!?" from me in the theater

Also, I'm a fan of campy/crappy horror, but Drag Me To Hell was horrendous...the crazy witch lady "violently" gumming the dude in the car, I left after that

 
Why do people pay attention to Rotten Tomatoes? Who gives a #### what the general population thinks about movies? Millions of people eat Slim Jims and drink Mountain Dew. What's Mountain Dew's Rotten Tomato score?

Huh.  I loved Drag Me to Hell, and thought it fit perfectly in the campy horror genre.

I agree, it was a pretty bad movie with an even worse twist (lol @ trees being the villain). But I thought many of the deaths in the movie were quite entertaining. Some were straight comical. 

 
m night shambala has really made some bad movies but also some good ones so who is to say these are the mysteries of life that no one can know take that to the bank brohans 

 
now i actually hope some of you brohans rent church ball and see if you can make it through it the one thing is that it has gary coleman on in and he gets thrown against a backboard so yeah lets see who is made of what up in here take that to the bank brohans 

 
she most certainly was  :wub:

the glorious offspring of 70s Cali porn stalwarts Carol Connors and Jack Birch ... shame she petered out  :(

ps- speaking of the "Happiness" "Ice Storm" ilk, i loathe "American Beauty", but Ms. Birch killed it as Janey - the heart of the movie pulsed in her dialogue. 

pps- and the should've been nominated for "Ghost World" :popcorn:
Ice Storm is one of my favorite movies of all time.  American Beauty also very good, though I recall your thoughts on not liking it.

You guys bashing critically acclaimed films like Boyhood or Ice Storm are going to need to show your work.  I get Ice Storm not being your cup of tea, but a film with 84% on Rotten Tomatoes shouldn't be in a thread about Worst Movie You've Seen.  IMHO.

You want a horrendous movie my ex-wife made me watch until I left the room?  The Sweetest Thing with Cameron Diaz, Selma Blair and Christina Applegate.  Gross, insipid, insulting and a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes.  That's one of the worst films I've ever seen in that it not only sucked, but it had 3 hot chicks in the their prime, a big budget and huge expectations.  Painfully bad.

 
Fair Game

Starring Cindy Crawford as a high-powered lawyer. Think about that.

5 naked Cindy Crawfords in the movie would not have made it watchable.
Good one.  I saw this in the theater with a hot freshman and even with Crawford (and my date) having great hogans, I fell asleep.  Horrendous pile of manure.

 
"Viva Knievel" should rank among the worst. It's totally worthy of MST3K riffing.

Evel + Lauren Hutton + Gene Kelly + Leslie Nielsen = Box Office Gold! 
THIS IS PURE GOLD!!!!! So bad it's good type of stuff. The music.....I have a #### eaten grin right now watching this trailer!!! Pure freaking gold.

Viva.....Viva Knievel!! LMAO!!

i certainly didn't bash it - matter of fact, i proclaimed it the greatest of the "Suburban Curtain Pull" genre, even more so than "Ordinary People", which i also loved.  chuck "Lyme Life" up in there for my trifecta (amazing turns by Alec Baldwin, Timothy Hutton, and a very coquettish/randy/ lovely Emma Roberts  :wub: )

 
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.
This is a great post.

 
I still find it hard to believe that with that much talent involved, something like Eyes Wide Shut is the worst movie people have seen.  
Because a lot of us went into that movie with tremendous expectations - Directed by can't miss Stanley Kubrick, starring peak performers Cruise & Kidman where the uptight prude, red-hot Kidman gets naked in addition to so much sex and other nudity that it was considered a controversial film at the time.  I couldn't wait to see this movie!  I didn't even wait for the reviews.

What I got was a long, meandering, pointless, painful plot that was all predicated on Tom Cruise having a bad reaction to a dream Nicole Kidman had about sex with another man.  What?  And the genesis of this marital disclosure and Tom's reaction to it was a little marijuana smoking?  Are you ####### kidding me?  99.9999999% of couples that smoke weed together just watch some TV, eat some junk food or engage in mediocre sex.  They do not lose their inhibitions so badly that they either disclose a sex dream or react in such a way to an involuntary mental activity that they stay out all night looking for a weird sex orgy.  The entire plot of utterly ridiculous and enduring it was not enjoyable at all.  Don't get me wrong, it was nice to look at, but by this point in our evolution, porn was on the internet if you needed gratuitous nudity with a much shorter (and better) plot line.

 
Eyes Wide Shut is a good movie. Probably Kubrick's most misunderstood work.
It's not misunderstood.  First, marijuana doesn't affect people the way it impacted the Cruises.  I'm sorry, but that's just asinine to suggest a little pot sent the Cruises into such a quarrel that Tom left the house and stayed out all night long risking his marriage and his career to find a sex orgy?  Secondly, would you get all upset at your wife for having a dream about sex with another man?  No, of course not.  Tell me what I'm misunderstanding here?  How about instead of a little weed, they snorted some meth and instead of stupid dream, he catches her alley####ing the garbage man.  Then I'll believe a DOCTOR goes out into the wee hours of the night on a quest to get even.

I get all that, but even in your post you admit it was good to look at.  All my point was is that even if you don't connect to or dislike the movie IMO there is still too much talent in the direction and cinematography to have it show up on a list of worst movies seen.

Britney Spears is nice to look at.  Her music is canine feces to the ear.  I didn't say this was the worst I've seen, but correcting somebody for saying it because it has stars or nice scenery isn't for you to decide.  The expectations for this movie were through the roof.  The results were jizz on a porn room floor.  Biggest disappointment of a movie for me and it's not close, but it's not my worst movie.  That said, I'm not about to fault another person who thinks it is the worst.

Somebody saying a movie like Boyhood with 97% on Rotten Tomatoes is their worst is a far more egregious take than saying Eyes Wide Shut is theirs.

Fair enough, I just put those statements in a similar tier and would argue more on the side if EWS.  

Also, aren't you doing the same for somebody who says Boyhood was their worst?  I assume their reasons are similar to yours with EWS.

Britney is a musician. Not a movie.

No, because as I've said already, Boyhood was critically acclaimed, nominated (and won) several awards and earned a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.  By all standards, that is a good movie.  Eyes Wide Shut didn't earn close to those accolades and had that been directed by anybody else in the industry, it would have been pooped on a whole lot more, but critics love Kubrick and you'll find fanbois saying "it's just misunderstood".  No, it's not.  It's drek directed by a man who lost his fastball.

I've also shown my work on EWS.  Waiting on the work to see why "Boyhood" was terrible.

I never said, "General Malaise doesn't understand Eyes Wide Shut." 

To address the marijuana point, I've heard people claim they smoked weed and hallucinated as a result. Having smoked plenty of weed, I can say without any doubt that is nonsense. So how do we explain the alleged hallucination? The user explains it. Cruise's character smoked some weed and went on a bender. That speaks to Cruise's character - not the effects of the weed.

So how is it misunderstood?
