Inspired by the Best Films thread, I'd like to throw out the five worst, most overrated or disappointing films I've seen.

1. The Godfather Part III

2. Caligula

3. I Spit On Your Grave

4. 2001: A Space Odyessy

5. The Missouri Breaks

I was going to add The Matrix Reloaded but the reviews so far seem to indicate The Matrix Revolutions is even worse.

Which ones did you "take one for the team?"

Oh man... I love a lot of movies considered awful by most, so my list is bound to be a little off. Here goes nothing:
1. Satan's Children: Not a good choice of film for the gay horror fan. I literally felt sick after watching this.
2. American Beauty: I know people who's opinion I respect who just loved this movie, but it felt like self-satisfied yuppie psychobabble to me.
3. Burn Hollywood Burn: an Alan Smithee Film: utter crap. Lame, incredibly misogynist inside joke.
4. Anything with the words Star Wars in the title.
5. xXx: There are just so many reasons to hate this one.

Highlander II Awful! Especially after the great Highlander I. III did go a little towards redeeming the series, though.

Dead Poet's Society Too obvious an attempt to try to win some heartstrings.

Dr. T and the Women A comedy with the unique approach of not being very funny at all.

1. Reign of Fire
2. 28 days later
3. Once upon a time in Mexico
4. Batman and Robin
5. The Pod People

Folks, I could talk about this all day. I wasted much of my childhood watching the sort of films that show up on your local Monster Horror Chiller Theater, and I am a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000, so I have seen a lot of truly awful science fiction and horror films on television. (By the way, Plan Nine From Outer Space is not the worst film ever made. There are many, many films that are a lot worse than it.) In order to limit myself to five choices, I will have to list only those films that I paid money to see in a movie theater. (This means that I will have to leave out such stunning works of art as Robot Monster, Monster A Go Go, The Creeping Terror, and "Manos" The Hands of Fate. I could list many, many more.)

In no particular order:

The Shape of Things to Come -- not only was this a truly inept rip-off of Star Wars, they had the nerve to use the title of a H. G. Wells classic which has nothing to do with it. Talk about adding insult to injury.

Humanoids From the Deep -- monsters in cheap rubber suits combined with rape sequences create one of the most offensive films of all time.

Last Rites -- by far the worst vampire film I've ever seen, and I've seen a bunch. Looks like a home movie, with the worst fake fangs I've ever seen.

The Incredible Melting Man -- dull and sleazy.

Laserblast -- a few minutes of interesting aliens, then an hour and a half of total boredom.

Amen! Richard Gere should be ahsamed for doing such "fluff" to begin with!

Here's 5 more bad movies to beware of:

Fight Club (sorry Ultimate Joe, but I cannot take Brad Pitt to begin with, and
when he throws in that bumbly, retarded accent I'm outa there.

Charlies Angels 2 (loved the first one, Demi ruined the second one, IMO)

The Perfect Storm (by the end I was hoping the ocean would just
kill 'em already, so I could go home)

Angela's Ashes (it was a good book, but the movie sucked)

Secrets and Lies (I don't even remember what it was about, I just
remember walking out of the theater 20 minutes into it)

That's a shame I loved both, they weren't perfect but the reviewers exaggerate. Most of the discomfort is caused by confusion which itself is an important part of the series. Competing philosophies and a good mystery or twenty.

Reminds me of Asimov a bit... I love a good concept.

On to my picks:
1. "The Real Cancun"- ick, "reality" movie. So pointless, not entertaining... (I usually dislike teen-targeted movies in general, can't shake the feeling I'm being insulted)

2. "Dungeons & Dragons"- My goodness that was bad...
Could we have at least a remotely compelling storyline?! guess not
Marlon wayans is still funny however.

3. Sorry to say this (Shild is of a decidedly different opinion) but "SpaceBalls". A spoof can be taken too far.

4. "Peter Pan 2"- Will someone please tell Disney to leave the classics alone, I watched this with my little sister and it was physically painful.

5. A fifth will come to me I'm sure (this is off the top of my head.)

Brad Pitt had an accent in Fight Club?

I've seen too many movies to count, but there is one that stands out at the top of the list. The immortal Battlefield Earth combined poor writing, acting and special effects on a previously unattainable level. All science fiction requires suspension of disbelief; and I willingly grant it. However, this movie was so bad that my disbelief roared to the forefront of my consciousness when Barry Pepper took lessons in a 1000 year old USAF Flight Simulator that had no power.

2. Wing Commander, for many of the same reasons. I had so much respect for Tcheky Karyo and Jurgen Prochner... then I saw this film.

3. Major League 2. When Bob Euker announced "well at least they're not Canadian" I left the theatre.

4. Titanic. For the love of god can SOMEONE, ANYONE explain to me how this movie can actually be enjoyed. It combines the worst writing I've seen in any major hollywood movie with wooden performers and more sap than the entire country of Canada.

5. Freddy Got Fingered. Ripping a baby from a uterus and then swinging it around by the umbilical cord is not funny.

The only movie that I paid to see, and walked out of while it was still showing, was An American Werewolf in London.

The Deer Hunter I watched to the end, but found nothing entertaining about it.

In High School, I was assigned to both read, and watch the movie, The Lord of the Flies. I recall remarking that it was sad that the book had been written in color, while the film was in Black and White.

First off I have to agree with Corvus, Dr. T and the Women was awful, so I'll put that at #1.

2) Weekend At Bernie's -- the only time in my life I actually left the theatre in the middle of the film.

3) Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me -- the series was fun, the film was horrible.

4) Showgirls

5) The Stupids -- I know, it should have been obvious from the title.

Aha! A number five. Thanks for reminding me. One decent part in that movie.

What's her name (the female star): I'll never let go!

DiCaprio: {gurgle}

I don't know about you, but I laughed.

I loved 2001 - A Space Odyssey!

But here's my list:
1.) 8 Mile
2.) House of 1,000 Corpses
3.) Cold Creak Manor
4.) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the newer one)
5.) Halloween 3

I just have to say I'm amazed at how many of people's top 5 worst movies are among my favorites. I guess there's no explaining taste...

Fight Club: a classic. Awesome writing. Twisted humor. Cool camera work. Dynamite twist that nobody saw coming.

8 Mile: okay, not great, but enjoyable if you like the music and the rap style.

Titanic: unbelievable special effects for the time. Great ambiance with the underwater cam and the haunting music. And Kate Winslett was very watchable.

Deerhunter: I don't know if I've ever been as emotionally involved in a movie as I was with this one, with the possible exception of Platoon the first time I saw it. It was a little slow, but the POW scenes were gripping, IMO. Must have just been in the right mood at the right time.

Peter Pan 2: We saw this twice in the theaters and bought it instantly on DVD. My daughter loved this more than any other Disney movie for the longest time. (Now Nemo is tops). Many of Disney's clones are just plain awful, but I thought PP2 maintained the quality of animation, did justice to the characters, had terrific songs, and integrated a sweet nostalgia to the original.

I know, I'm supposed to be talking about movies I didn't like, but I felt like I had to defend these...

Hmm. I've never heard it called that before. She was very something-able, but I'm not sure "watch" is the verb I had in my mind when I saw it.

My five worst movies:
1. Pearl Harbour Evidence that special effects and flag-waving cannot hide dreadful writing and acting.
2. Barb Wire This was my "so bad it's the only movie I ever walked out of" moment. My excuse was that I'd just started a new job in a new town and, when asked to go with some of the guys at work, I thought it would be a good chance to bond. In other words, it seemed like a good idea at the time, a phrase that everyone involved in making this dreadful Casablanca rip-off must have engraved on their hearts.
3. Body Double "Brian de Palma!" I thought. "Menalnie Griffith! A taut murder suspense thriller! What can go wrong?". Er, a rotten script, and a leading man so wooden that you could sand him and use him as a shelf, for starters.
4. Rancid Aluminium The name alone has to win a place in the all time worst movie lists. Evidence that the much-hyped (domestically, anyway) British film industry can still produce dreck unworthy of even a video release.
5. Get Carter The Stallone remake, not the 1970s Michael Caine version, which is a gold-trimmed classic. One word - WHY?

1_I've never actually walked out of a movie, but I came awfully close to doing just that when I saw Dracula, dead and loving it. At the time I thought Mel Brookes was a comedian, and I knew Leslie Nielsen from the 'Naked Gun' films, so I assumed that these two went about as well together as I imagine GW Bush and Yoko Ono would.

To say that this film was not funny is an understatement... sometimes films are so unfunny that their very unfunniness becomes funny... you can laugh at their ridiculousness.
But not so with 'Dracula, dead and loving it'.

I've never been able to convince myself that Mel Brookes is funny ever since.


2_Armeggedon. I can stomach an awful lot when it comes to flag waving, or 'macho acting' or even just plain old fashioned stupidity. But this film took the biscuit. Not only did it take the biscuit... in fact, it took every thing, including the oscars for worst screen play, most gratuitous use of the Stars and Stripes, most unrealistic use of physics, and the much coveted oscar for worst acting. Not until 'Pearl Harbour' would Afleck manage to sink so low again.


3_ I can remember thinking, as I watched Jurassic park, just how cool it would was going to be when some one got around to making a really good CGI dragon film... and then I saw Dragon heart.
To describe me as being disapointed, would be to discribe Arnold Shartzenegger as 'small', or Albert Einstein as 'quite smart'.

'Dragon heart', is so bad, with its flying cow of a dragon, and Dennis Quaid's amazingly poor description of a medieval knight (so utterly fantastically poor that it deserves recognition on an international level), that it ought to be including in the manual for CGI film makers, as a prime example of how not to make a film.

The horrid after effects of this film are such that I can no longer enjoy Sean Connery... in fact every time I see Sean Connery now, I scowl and reach for the remote.


4_ Anything by Lars Von Trier.... Please God, make him stop!!!


5_ The Pianist. Not the Roman Polanski film, but a French film of the same name which is about a female piano teacher who becomes the object of affection for a young man. Unfortunatly for him, she is a masochist. Unfortunatly for the viewers, this is not interesting.
This film is so mind numbingly boring, that even the sexual content failed to cause a reaction in my ever drooping eye lids. The film's only redeeming feature is the wonderfully abrupt ending, which is like water to man who has just crawled across the sahara... carrying a bag of cats.


Those are the one's which spring to mind... a dishonourable mention goes to 'Schindlers List' by Steven Spielberg, 'Betty Blue' by Jean-Jacques Beineix and 'GI Jane' By Ridley Scott.

I have little problem with films that have no artistic pretensions and suck accordingly. I start to have "issues" with those that are gigantically ambitious and/or seek to convey a MEANINGFUL MESSAGE, and still suck. As such:

1. The Pianist. What the hell is a "self-imposed mute"?

2. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover, the Guy Down the Street, The Obstetrician, The Elderly Woman Who Walks Funny, etc. WHAT WAS THAT???

3. Wings of Desire. Criminally pretentious.

4. Zentropa. Indictably pretentious.

5. King of Hearts: 60's pretentious.

I'm going more with overrated than outright awful (there are plenty of films which, technically at least, are somewhat worse than some of the pet hates listed below):

1. Every Star Wars movie ever made
2. Titanic
3. Se7en
4. The Piano
5. Ghost

With dishonorable mention to The Deer Hunter, Dances with Wolves, Dead Poets Society, Unforgiven, and Forrest Gump. There are many more, but those'll probably get me in enough trouble as it is...

Damn, I like Se7en and Unforgiven.

[1] Anything by Quentin Tarantino (except Kill Bill, which wasnt quite so blatantly racist).
[2] Anything involving The Matrix... all the aspects of a good story... and they still failed with it.
[3] Pearl Harbor - Flagwaving, historically innaccurate propaganda, and crappy special effects don't make a good flick.
[4] The two new Star Wars films.
[5] The Sixth Sense

You folks just don't know horrible...lol

1. Brazil...can anyone tell me what the #### this movie was about?

2. Leonard Part 6...God even the star Bill Cosby told people not to see this disaster

3. Dead Men Don't wear Plaid....Steve Martin should be ashamed. The only movie I ever fell asleep watching.

4. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.....talk about WAY overhyped.

5. Taxi Driver....ok...its not in the top 5 worst movies, but I was VERY dissappointed in it when I finally saw it. I guess I had higher expectations...MUCH higher.

Bypass attempt of profanity filter removed - Jaime

I feel inclined to defend Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - if only because it was the first flick I ever saw. Before I was fluent in English, before I moved to the United States.

No accounting for taste. Brazil made my top five list, and I would also defend Taxi Driver as a great (if very depressing) work of art.

What is Brazil "about"? Gosh, you could write entire books about it. In a nutshell, I believe that it uses surrealism and satire to create an unreal universe that reflects the most troubling aspects of our own. It's 1984 on LSD.

I really like The Matrix, in much the way I like Jack Chalker and Isaac Asimov - the execution may be a bit clunky, but the concept is excellent. I thought The Matrix: Reloaded had some amazing stunts, and in some ways opened up the concept to possibly move to a whole other level. That said, I just saw The Matrix:Revolutions, and I was very disappointed. I could have taken Reeves' stilted acting, I could have taken the plot holes, if they had taken the concept to the level that Reloaded sort of hinted at. But they didn't. I'm not going to give anything away, but I felt the ending was a big let down. I felt like they could have really opened up this idea that there are onion-like layers to the idea of "the matrix," that philosophically reflects layered paradigms of thought and knowledge systems, but of course, they just didn't go there. I also felt it was a bit boring to watch Neo fighting Agent Smith again - they were both so powerful, they were just bashing each other endlessly without really getting hurt. Even the battle to save Zion was boring - because one complete side of the battle consisted of thousands of "Sentinels." It takes a lot away from a large scale battle scene when one whole side is robots unable to emote at all.

The one movie I have ever walked out of was Runaway Bride. Simply awful tripe.

I haven't seen it since being an adult, but I fell asleep when my parents took me to see Chariots of Fire in the theater long ago.

I'll agree with putting Armageddon on the list. Yech!

I feel compelled to defend Star Wars. There are a million things wrong with it, but for many people in my generation, it was the ultimate Joseph Campbell "myth of the hero" for our childhood. Of course, I believe the series' high point was The Empire Strikes Back, and it all went way downhill from there.

Generally, I'm pretty easy to please with movies. I'd say a movie has to be really bad for me to be unable to stomach it. Even Armageddon, which I included on this list, I was able to watch all the way through and I wasn't totally put off, though I can't stand Ben Affleck's acting.

Actually, this weekend I rented Legally Blonde 2 and Anger Management. I stopped Blonde 15 minutes into it, it was unwatchable. Anger Management was, on the other hand, very enjoyable. I'm not the biggest Adam Sandler fan, but both he and Jack Nicholson were hilarious in this film.

Don't get me started on Se7en - in fact, I think I already started in the Popular Movies that I HATED thread. Unforgiven is a bit more arguable - I just thought it was way overrated for standard (and extremely pedestrian) Western fare. People treated it as though it somehow revolutionized the genre and I didn't see that at all. In fact, compared to some of John Ford's best work, I thought it was pretty sub-standard.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::


First, circumventing the profanity filter is against the rules here. You should check them out before posting again.

Second, like Victoria, Brazil would definitely be in my top ten list - and occasionally finds itself in the number one slot. I'd agree that it is difficult to describe what it is "about" in twenty-five words or less. To me, it is one of the best political (and bureaucratic) satires ever made - not only a parody of 1984's dystopia, but an extension and update of it. In addition, its whole take on terrorism - and the fact that, in opposing terror, the state actually creates it - has only become more pertinent in the past few years. If nothing else, it's also a pretty hilarious comedy - as well as a decent action/suspense movie and a wry, neurotic romance. I've probably seen this movie twenty times - and get more out of it with each viewing. In fact, now you mention it, I think I'll pop the DVD in again tonight - make that twenty-one!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::


I thought that was Willow? I think all "thousand faces" made it into that flick.

Five worst? Hmmm.....tough.

5. Anything with Jerry Bruckheimer's name on it. Same old crap again and again.

4. All the Robocops. Way too cheesy.

3. House of 1000 Corpses. Rob Zombie needs to be stopped very soon.

2. Godfather Part 3. Utterly unwatchable.

1. The newer Star Wars movies. I think George Lucas was drunk when he filmed them.

Barbwire

1. Battlefield Earth More like battlefield script........ talk about something that needed a plot

2. Every Roger Moore Bond movie

3. The Candidate

4. Any three stooges movie

5. Pearl Harbor

This will have to go in the so-bad-it's-good category. Back in the 60s I went with some friends to a drivein movie which featured Rome Adventure with Susanne Pleshette and Troy Donahue. I think it was a put-on. These two people are running all over Rome doing God knows what. But the thing we discovered about half way through the movie was that the script was virtually all cliches. So for fun we began doping out each stock situation and then calling the lines. Like "that was a close call!" etc etc.

My favorite, which I imagine a lot of people thought was a dumb kids movie, was Treasure Island. I loved the character of Long John Silver.

Yeah, the Robocop flics are kind of cheesy, but I just love a scene from Robo-3.

Closeup on a guy as he comes into an all night donut shop, pulls a gun, and tells the clerk to open the register. There are about a hundred "click sounds" around the guy, and he looks around to see just about every cop in the precinct, sitting at all the tables, guns drawn, and pointed at him.

The clerk looks up at the crook, smiles and says, "moron".

Great cliche, played perfectly.

The best robo-cop scene of all: A little league team has gone into an electronics store with their baseball bats and are looting the place out. The coach sees a cop car coming, pulls out a pistol, and shoots the tire. Then he gets blasted, and robo-cop simply scolds the kids.

Ishtar
Gigli

Power to the people who punish bad cinema! - Cecil B. Demented...from John Waters' film of the same title...

I have to admit that I love bad movies, and John Waters made quite a few great bad films.

So, it won't even scratch the surface, but here are five of my favourite bad films.

1. Dead Alive
2. Welcome to Woop Woop
3. Return of the Living Dead
4. Cemetery Man
5. Cecil B. Demented

Nah, the best bit for cheesy quotability is a few minutes later when he shoots up the guy on the street corner then says "Thank you for not smoking".

Truth is the first Robocop is the only one that stands up as a decent story. The sequels were just weakly-written cash-ins. Even though I thought it was kind of cool that the character arc for Murphy was "capitalist tool turns into socialist enemy of the very capitalism that created him", but then I'm just an old Euroleftie. Much like Paul Verhoeven.

Other bad films:

Bad Boys - Subjectively so for me. I just couldn't get my head around it.)
U571 - The film itself was a good piece of action adventure, but the subject matter seemed calculated to annoy. Worse, when Brits objected to the Amerixanisation of their history, the response was "if you don't like it, make your own films".

I just saw Bad Santa and everyone involved should be publicly beaten.

That was the worst piece of filth I've ever seen or ever expect to see again.

I take it, then, that you haven't seen The Cat in the Hat.

Thanks for the warning. I won't take the kids to that one. Actually, that cat looks VERY creepy to me. Dr Seuss isn't meant for the real world.

For worst movies, Off the top of my head, I would say
1. Caligula- you know it had to be bad since I was 17 when I saw it, and fell asleep after a half hour
2. Rhinestone- Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone were born to play these characters, need I say more?
3. Communion -This one had me laughing hysterically and uncontrollably. I had to leave the theatre because I couldn't stop. It's supposed to be a drama.
4. Matrix 2- I have never, never-ever been to a movie with a 'to be continued' at the end. That should be outlawed.
5. Highlander 2- Terrible, though I really liked the first one.

I think the worst movies are ones that sound so bad that no intelligent individual would go see it. "From Justin to Kelly" comes to mind.

The worst movie I have seen recently was House of the Dead. I got dragged into it by a friend. That's the last time I let her pick the movie we see.

My old anti-faves would be Highlander 2 which I actually bought on DVD because it was like 9 bucks and I hadn't seen it. I figured it would be worth 9 bucks at least, right? Wrong.

Proof of Life was another horrible movie I saw in a theater. Let me give a synopsis...oooh Meg Ryan, wow she looks pretty good...yawn...yawn...oh Russell Crowe wants her, too bad she's married and he's got to save her husband...(checks watch)...yawn...oooh guns!...oh they're not doing anything with them...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...Holy crap! Russell Crowe just stabbed someone in the neck! Yes! Maximus is back!...oh wait the movie's over...(throws popcorn at screen)

You forget about the Back to the Future movies! Though, they were meant to be cheesy.

Gigli
Tora Tora Tora
Cat in the Hat (the 2003 version...such sacrilage it was. Dr. Seuss is rolling in his grave)

Titanic
Titanic
Titanic
Titanic
And, oh yeh, Titanic

In no particular order

Punch Drunk Love, even though most Adam Sandler movies are bad this one even failed to have a plot.
The Blair Witch Project, the only movie that almost made me have a seizure.
The Devils Advocate, the only movie that I have ever walked out of, but I preoccupied by my girl. Even when I saw it again it just made no sense.
Last two Matrix movies, I just can't figure it out, well I have theories but nothing I can prove.
Attack of the Clones I was waiting for Anikin to use "the force" on the princess the whole movie.
Frida Ended up being too much of an Xrated flick.
I have a few more but my list is already too long.

Show Girls
Femme Fatal
ANY Van Damnit movie
Coyote Ugly
He-Man, Masters of the Universe (the live action film from the mid '90's)
Red Sonya

I loved The Devils Advocate!

I read a review - only one, unfortunately (I've since learned my lesson) - and the author said the movie was so funny, he laughed so hard his sides hurt. On a whim, my mom and I decided to see it yesterday and it wasn't anywhere near hysterically funny, mildly amusing at some parts at best. I was pretty disappointed. I like to laugh.
In world lit, one guy in my class was urging everyone to go see it. He said it was "the funniest movie ever." Different strokes for different folks I guess
I thought A Midnight's Summer Dream or whatever the name is was pretty bad. I saw it during a friend's 14th birthday party, and I fell asleep.

For anyone who enjoys seeing bad movies get RIPPED APART by a reviewer go to Mr Cranky

This site is great. Some of the funniest reviews on there are:

1. Battlefield Earth
2. Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life
3. Blair Witch II.
4. Speed 2.
5. The Bachelor.

But all the ones with the two worst ratings are hilarious.

Like quarkhead, it takes quite a bit to make me really dislike a movie to the point of hating it - maybe it's because I don't watch movies that I think I'll hate, maybe I am just easily entertained (methinks it's the former, but...).

Anyway, here's the first movies that popped into my head when thinking of "the worst of the worst":

Proximity (Rob Lowe) - So incredibly horrible. The movie itself might not have been so terrible had I not read the entire plot beforehand on the back of the DVD (I kid you not - EVERY bit of important plot was right there on the back). It sounded like there would be lots of additional twists and turns in the movie but, no...it was totally ruined (well, aside from the fact that it starred Rob Lowe )! My husband did not mind it nearly as much as I did - he didn't read the synopsis - wanna know what the movie was about...read the back of the DVD and put it back on the shelf...it's more interesting than sitting through the 90-or-os minute "movie".

Freddy Got Fingered - No, I did not intend to ever watch this movie (inc ase you were wondering)...my husband's cousins had rented it and we happened to be there while they were watching it. OUCH! Not good. Made me want to throw things at the TV (but being that it was not my TV, I restrained myself )...and made me want to throw things at that idiotic Tom Green (what a dolt!). Really, really, really NOT funny. There was only ONE remotely funny part in the entire movie...something about backwards man (he was wearing a suit backward and looking at himself in the mirror...I did actually crack a smile at this point but the rest of the movie was utterly HORRIBLE).

The Thin Red Line Call me crazy, but this was one of the most incredibly boring movies I've ever seen. I think there was maybe 20 minutes' worth of dialogue (that's probably being generous) in a 170 minute movie...BAD, BAD, BAD. There were WAY too many characters to keep straight and to become emotionally attached to - I found myself replaying a lot of scenes (which sucked since this movie is long enough already without having to rewind) to make sure I knew who was who. I saw the cast and thought this would be a fantastic movie. Yow, I was wrong. Could have been very, very good and maybe I'm being unrealistic yearning for at least 40 minutes worth of dialogue in a 170 minute movie ( ), but I was not impressed in the least. Maybe I need to watch it again, but I don't know anyone who owns it anymore and I don't think I'd be able to find the time to sit down for 5 hours (enough time to go back and replay the scenes that make me wonder "who are the talking about" or "what is this guy's name again?". I do remember liking James Caviezel and Tim Blake Nelson in the movie though. That's about all I took away from the movie (that and a headache from trying to place names with faces and story-lines with faces and names with story-lines and...see...you have a headache now, too - there were some absolutely stunning visuals, but if I wanted to see a bunch of visuals with some story thrown in here and there, I'd have gone to a really nice slide show.


Man...drawing a blank right now! I will have to add another two later (I just found out I'm babysitting at 4:30 a.m. tomorrow *gasp* - I must retire for the night!).


eta: I LOVED Frida! I can't think of a more visually pleasing movie I've ever seen...cinematography was absolutely beautiful (all IMO, of course ). Rev, you hold the honor of being the only person I know who didn't love Frida - no accounting for different tastes

Usually I'd agree with you about all of Van Damnit senseless violence, but I just saw a decent movie with him this weekend called "In Hell"

From now on after these I'll only pay matinee prices.

1. Battlefield Earth--John Travolta should have know better.
2. Willard- I said more than "Rats" as I was walking out 10.00 bucks lighter.
3. Gigli--everyone makes mistakes
4. Time Machine- the original is the best
5. Attack of Clones --too many of everything and too extravagant settings
to be believable. And that Yoda jumping around like a true jedi then going back to
using his cane.

I listed only three films when I first saw this topic, but when I saw this topic again; I realized I had forgotten to include on my list one of the films often cited by experts as the worst film ever made: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

Altough I agree that Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is poorly made movie it is not the Worst ever. THat title belongs to Gili. As Conan O'Brian would say.
