Noticed the favourite film thread, so thought I would start this one. Apologies if its been done already.

Harlem Nights - I'd paid my money so I was staying - worst film ever.

That was of course until I saw:

Churchill: The Hollywood Years - bloody awful, the outtakes at the end were the best part.

Work in a Cinema now, so didn't pay for the last one.

There have been other films that have been bad, but I'm talking really crap films.

The film that got most people walking out in the last year was 'The Fox and the Child'. We had it for 2 days and then pulled it.

Wow... Well, I tend to repress the worst ones, but one I remember being particularly bad was Catwoman, what was (oscar winner!!) Halle Berry thinking when she took on this one!
I'm sure there are some I've seen that were far worse though.

Pretty much everything but specifics-

Juno
Napoleon Dynamite
(the new) War of the Worlds
Any teen comedy or teen horror. They're either horrifically unfunny or so obvious and cliché that it becomes an unintentional comedy.

All I can think of now. But still most films.

Barb Wire: friend is a Pam Anderson nut- so he dragged me along for this turd. Absolutely Awful.

Ultraviolet: watched about 10 minutes of this on tv before *click!*.

Howard the Duck: The only redeeming thing about this film was Lea Thompson in a miniskirt, back when she was cute.

Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever: hand me a barf bag.

ANY of those "Movie" movies: Horrible "comedy". About as fun as having your toenails chewed off by diseased rodents.

Napoleon Dynamite

I'm shocked! Although it's made me think I might enjoy Juno if you didn't enjoy that either. ;)

The worst I've seen was AI (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212720/). I worked in a cinema at the time, and in spite of seeing it free, during company time, with popcorn and illicit beer, and all my splendid co-workers, it was still two hours I resent the time I spent watching it. Absolutely dire.

Worst I have seen?

1. Saw (I just don't get this genre of gratuitous torture flicks…)
2. Matrix "Reloaded"…
3. Jaws "The Revenge" (A growling great white follows Brody mum all the way to the Bahamas to exact revenge? :rolleyes:)

Special Award:
But, my all time favourite worst movie has to be Faye Dunaway chewing carpet in Mommy Dearest.
A movie so bad you have got to love it.

RPM (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118441/) is by far the worst film in the world. It is actually so bad I have recommended it to people as they need to see how bad things can get.


Octane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_(film)) - was on the TV very late night. It went downhill went there was a rave in the back of an oil tanker :confused:

My dad has the curious knack of being able to pick some of the worst movies we've seen. (To his credit, once in a blue moon he's picked good ones)

The one that takes the cake is "The Wizard of Speed and Time (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081766/)" a REALLY grade-z film if there ever was one.

Then, he picked this one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102800/). I know we've seen other, probably equally horrid, movies but those two seem to have scarred my mind the most.

Signs, The Happening & The Village - Worst endings ever...

All the "insert genre here" Movie films (Scary Movie, Date Movie, Superhero Movie etc etc) - How any of the "writers" have any dignity left is beyond me...

Lindsey Lohan films - I once had to sit through Freaky Friday with an ex girlfriend, I lost a lot of brain cells that day...

Recent Adam Sandler films - He's sold out, and then some...

Get Smart - I wanted to like it for Carrell, but sadly it was just too crap...

Hancock - The trailer made it awesome, the film made it boring...

That's all that I can think of for now.

Melrose
Aug 29, 2008, 09:36 AM
^^ I thought The Village ended pretty good. I like endings that are dramatic like that.

And I agree with you wholeheartedly about Sandler movies. I really don't see why he's so popular..

Well I watched a lot of "B" movies in my day, so a bad film to me is only really bad when it's trying to be good.

In recent memory (last couple of years) I'd have to say my list would be:
Smokin' Aces (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475394/)
Kull the Conqueror (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119484/) -oh dear god why did my 'friend' rent that POS?
The Bank Job (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200465/)

The top award for me has to go to Fargo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116282/), I went to see it in the dollar theatre at Uni, I almost demanded my dollar back.

The one movie that didn't make my list, but I won't be surprised to see it here is Shoot 'Em Up (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465602/), it's a movie that you can't take seriously for a second, but they made it fun to watch. In my mind that puts it in the rare "B" movie with "A" budget category. Also it earns points for being shot (almost entirely) in a 5km radius around my condo.

"James B0nd"
Casino Royale Spoof (1967)

After that I usually check for reviews first.



The Bank Job (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200465/)

The top award for me has to go to Fargo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116282/), I went to see it in the dollar theatre at Uni, I almost demanded my dollar back.

I liked Fargo. Critics liked it too
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fargo/

Same with The Bank Job
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1189844-the_bank_job/

Both have some violent parts, so it seems like you just don't like physically violent films.


Signs was pretty shocking.

Signs was good in the movie theater. I would say half the suspense factor are in the sound, the other parts are dark theater, and big screen.

This (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419677/) Dead Man's Shoes? I thought it was excellent. Not easy to watch by any stretch of the imagination but really brilliant for such a disturbingly dark low-budget film.

Aug 29, 2008, 10:50 AM
I haven't seen many films that I would consider to be really really bad but here are some of the disappointments I've had...



The Blair Witch Project - over-hyped and frankly just not very good

The Matrix - incomprehensible rubbish

Iron Man - I endured this piece of nonsense for the sake of The Boy (10) who to be fair loved it. I think he is the target audience.

I didn't like Fargo because I didn't like the story and the accent was way over done; as for the bank job I don't like movies about incompetent criminals.

erickkoch
Aug 29, 2008, 12:10 PM
Gee, there have been so many.

A few come to mind:

Bloodrayne: I just kept looking at my watch waiting for it to end. In fact, any movie made by Uwe Boll.

The Devils Rejects: Pointless sadism.

Reservoir Dogs: This is one of those Quentin Tarantino "masterpieces" that I just didn't get. It's now out in a "15th Anniverary" edition. Go figure.

I could include a few direct to DVD movies but the list might be too long.

Flight Plan. I remember I went to it on opening night and the theatre was packed. halfway through the movie half the people left and my buddies were sleeping. It sucked so bad. The whole plot is hilarious when it is supposed to be suspenseful. Jodie Foster is a friggin horrible actress in it too.

The whole plot is Jodie Foster has a kid and going to go somewhere on a plane. She loses her kid on the plane and can't find her and goes insane. She finds her kid and goes home safely.

The whole theatre laughed during some of the parts that weren't supposed to be funny.

Oh dear got that movie sucked!

The Tony Blair Witch Project (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0252060/) (21/100 on the imdb bottom 100). It's kind of a joke of a film. The director put it up on BitTorrent for anyone to download, so I couldn't resist. :D Truly the biggest waste of two hours I think I've ever experienced.

Star Wars Episode I

I fell asleep in the theatre while watching this. Literally.

I really hated "Event Horizon", but it was one of those "I hate this, ugh, but I'm going to keep watching" things. I feel like I've been scarred for life. I imagine it would be much the same if I ever tried watching other similar horror flicks. They're just not my thing.

When I was a kid I really hated "The Princess Bride" (largely because of the torture scenes), but now that I'm older, it's one of my favourite movies.

Hero was a movie I hated. I was only 9 or 10 or so when I watched it so I couldn't keep up with the subtitles and the flashbacks confused me.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford was the first movie I walked out on. Maybe our (me + friend) expectations were wrong, we though it was going to be an action film but nooooo :p

I don't know the title of the worst film I've ever seen but it was on Channel 5 (for the UK people here) and it was about a guy who was bitten but instead of turning into "Spider Man" he just turned into a spider instead and started treating humans as flies :rolleyes:

I can't believe Borat was a pick and personally thought it comic genius. Maybe it was better for me because I know a few real life people who Borat could easily have been modeled after. Oh well, to each their own.

Worst I have seen?

1. Saw (I just don't get this genre of gratuitous torture flicks…)


Yeah Saw was just so pathetic you had to laugh your way through it. But I think Jason vs. Freddy has got to be the worst attempt at a horror film ever.

Pretty much everything but specifics-

Juno
Napoleon Dynamite
(the new) War of the Worlds
Any teen comedy or teen horror. They're either horrifically unfunny or so obvious and cliché that it becomes an unintentional comedy.


I agree with you on War of the Worlds and any teen comedy or horror film, however I can't disagree with you more about Napoleon Dynamite or Juno. Both of those were truly original and interesting movies.

Be Kind Rewind (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0799934/). dumb as hell, didn't even watch it all the way through.


That was one of the funniest Jack Black movies ever made. You have to watch it all the way through to approve of the "sweded" method and the message at the end that history is what you record it to be.

With all that said, Amelie is still one of the best foreign films ever made and my nominee for worst film ever would have to be the Banger Sisters or some crap like that -- I've seen so many bad ones they all kind of blend together now.

EDIT:

@NCMacGuy - yeah Borat was great except for when he wrestled naked with his producer. That almost made me heave.

I'd have to say:
1) Eragon... total garbage adaptation of a book. I know that film adaptations are always worse but this was too bad.
2) Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080391/)... but it was good for a laugh.

Other than those, nothing else comes to mind at the moment.

I agree with you on War of the Worlds and any teen comedy or horror film, however I can't disagree with you more about Napoleon Dynamite or Juno. Both of those were truly original and interesting movies.

For me an interesting film is one that I can't predict the ending so early on. Juno. It was painfully obvious that the older couple weren't going to stay together and that there was going to be a conflict on whether Juno was going to keep the baby in the end. Terribly flawed and predictable.
Also the way they tried to highlight trinket items and themes (that phone, that music, the furniture and styling) was so obvious.

Napoleon Dynamite? Just mindless, aimless, plotless drivel that played out more like a Day in the Life style TV documentary.

Chicago... and most stuff with Cathrine Zeta-Jones in it. She simply can't act, whenever I saw her in a movie I didn't see a character, I saw a person trying to be that character. I chose Chicago because I have never watched the Oscars again after she won one.

That Marie Antoinette film by Sophia Coppola was pretty bad too, a big disappointment after Lost in Translation.

I can't believe the few of you that said 300, Saw, and Ocean's 12.

300 was a excellent movie. I'm thinking about going out and renting it now.

The first saw was the only good one. The rest were just to get some money. The film was made on a budget of what? 16k i think? I thought it was a very good suspense story. The ending made my mouth drop.

Ocean's 12 is my favorite of the Ocean's series. Ocean's 13 was horrible. The only part i liked was when they go down to mexico. Those parts get me every time.


For me the worst film i have ever seen was "The Happening". About half way thru the movie i really was convinced we were on hidden camera tv show.

I am no film critic but mother of God! To me it seems like the actors were trying to do their worst.

The best part of the movie was when that US Army MP guy shows up and sombody says "It's the Army! We're saved!". About half the audience started laughing.....We were at a movie theater not 1 mile away from Ft. Wood :p, guess it was a bunch of Marines.

We think alike. I think she's the reason The Terminal flopped: Tom Hanks already proved in Castaway that he's more than capable of carrying a film solely on his own, and with a backup actor like Stanley Tucci, the fake/silly/hip-woman/'Gee Ain't I Wonderful' attitude that Zeta-Jones brought to the movie was awful. I think she killed it.

Other favourites on my least-favourite list: Meet the Parents, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and Where the Heart Is. I refuse to watch Zoolander; the snippets that I've seen were plenty. I'm also very grateful that I no longer have a girlfriend who wants me to see Top Gun.

Normally I'm down for watching any movie even remotely associated with Steven Segal, so when they had an all day marathon of his movies you better believe I parked myself in front of a tv for 10 straight hours. It was all going great until "Out for a Kill" started playing... that is, without a doubt, the worst movie I've ever seen. Actually, it's in a 3-way tie with "Date Movie" and "Serving Sara". Of all the God-awful things humans have done to one another over the past 30,000 years, the production of these 3 movies holds a solid spot in the top 10.

You guys can't be serious. Outside of Cool as Ice and the Hottie and the Nottie, nothing can come close to Battlefield Earth. It had cavemen become ace fighter pilots in 1,000 year old harrier jump jets after an hour or so of flight simulator training! It was so bad, the scientologists had roaming van loads of scientologists attend screenings to make it look more successful. It still bankrupted the production company. John Travolta described it as "like Star Wars, only better." Jon Stewart described it as "a cross between Star Wars and the smell of ass." It was released in 2000 and the NY Times wrote, "It may be a bit early to make such judgments, but Battlefield Earth may well turn out to be the worst movie of this century." It swept the Razzies that year winning 7 of them.

If some of you guys think the Matrix or Star Wars, or LOTR are the worst movies you've ever seen, then you're in for a rude awakening.

Alien 3: Are you kidding me?

Bourne Ultimatum. Whomever decided that using hand-held cameras for two F**King hours needs to be put in prison, then shot, then put back in prison. Almost threw up in the aisle. Twice.
It's the reason I refused to go to Cloverfield. But that's fine, heard it was trash anyway.

But of all time?
While movies like Plan 9 and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes are campy and kind of fun to watch, the all-time worst movie has to be "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians".

anything with Will Ferrel in it. i just can't find that guy amusing or funny, i mean if you take away the millions, and the movie deals he's just another pathetic grown ass man who can't seem to let go of his highschool/college years.

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, donnie darko, asassination of jesse james, the proposition,...or any stream-of-conscious type of movies that really have no point to them except to be confusing. wtf :confused: then the people who pretend to like by spouting how it was paying homage to blah blah blah, the foreshadowing, the hidden social angst. it's like this genre is the baskin robins of crap, 31 flavors of suckage for you to try.

pirates 2 & 3 - if it wasn't for Depp i'd have walked out
