LOL this list is funny... I actually love Wild Wild West & The Mummy Returns....

My vote would without a doubt have to go to Baby Geniuses... horrible... can't believe I actually went to see it in the theatre, and what's more, I can't believe they actually made a freakin' sequal!

Matchstick Men...someone should have taken a match to this script

I know it was actually quite popular, but I did not like Kill Bill. Too violent for me. (However, I didn't have such a strong reaction to Pulp Fiction.)

I don't know if I'd give it the Oscar for "worst movie ever", but I certainly felt nauseated by it.

Boxing Helena for obscure movies

Oh, I remember THAT movie! I totally agree with you! A friend and I watched in in HS, thinking it was going to have some sexy scenes in it (like the Cable Guide ratings promised!), but was TOTALLY LAME!

Satisfaction--with Justine Bateman...it was just bad...it had several plot lines that went no where.

Oh no! Keep in mind, I didn't really have a problem with Pulp Fiction, but it wasn't necessarily my favorite.

Let me guess Freckles, do you hate Woody Allen's Annie Hall? Because I love that movie! (Just checking to see if we really have opposite taste!)

artist

07-08-2005, 11:16 AM

Also, I wasn't really a fan of Jurassic Park. Maybe because by the time I saw it, EVERYONE was raving about it, so I just thought, yeah, so? Dinosaurs, okay.

Also, I was totally NOT scared by Signs even though all these people said it was scary.

I actually quite like Woody Allen films, and especially Annie Hall, so there's hope for us yet! :p My husband likes to say that I just love films in general, because I can enjoy a total popcorn film as well as a total art-house film. I'm all over the map. It takes A LOT for me *not* to like a movie. Although sometimes I am disappointed in the big hype films like Forrest Gump or Legally Blonde----movies that everyone I know adores, and I just think are okay. Does that make sense?

And just to be bratty----Add to my list of movies I like:

Underworld
Cable Guy
Jurassic Park
Vanilla Sky

Yes, there is certainly hope for us! We'll just have to rent a Woody Allen movie together. (Though would you agree his newer films are not as good as his old ones?)

Oh, and by the way, so that all know, I like his FILMS, but find the man utterly creepy!

I absolutely LOVED Tin Cup!! I think it is absolutely hilarious. The scenes with Kevin Costner & Cheech Marin are side-splitting. (And, yes, I do enjoy golf... and we live on a golf course... no, I don't play.)

The worst movies I have seen:

Pi & Cube - My husband made me watch these. He is obviously more cerebral than I, because I thought they were incredibly tedious and boring.

Once Around - You'd think after Always that another pairing of Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfus would be great... NOPE

Funny Farm - extremely UNfunny - I fell asleep in the theatre

Did people actually SEE Gigli?? I have a morbid curiosity that I might have to use one of my free coupons and rent it.

Guess I'm glad that I haven't seen a lot of these movies. Of course, I don't care for horror flicks and the Charlie's Angels movies didn't hold any appeal.

I totally agree with Sposa06 about Closer. I was completely unprepared for what the movie was. I wish I had read more about it before going to see it. There wasn't a single likeable character in it. The acting had to be first-rate, because I love all the actors, and hated them in this film!!

A girl I knew in HS was in the movie 'Super Troopers' and even though I was suspicious of it's merit, I begged a girlfriend of mine to go see it with me. Halfway through the movie, I turned to my friend and said 'These are minutes of our lives that we can never get back." :p

Another total stinker that I can think of is a Steven Segal movie that I was dragged to by a friend from college. I think it's called 'The Fire Down Below.' So totally bad and unbelievable (things blow up left and right, but SS is completely unscathed.) that it's actually laughable!

I had two guy friends who SWORE this was THE BEST movie ever!! I had my 3 wisdom teeth taken out. I had to have an ice pack on it for 1/2 and hour, and then off for 1/2 an hour. During the 1/2 hour I had to have my ice pack on, I watched this movie. And I kept thinking, "It's GOTTA get better! It's GOTTA get better!" But, it never did. The worst thing about my wisdom teeth being removed was being trapped, watching this movie for 1/2 hour increments. :mad:

A few more on my 'hated it, never watch again' list:

"I Heart Huckabees" - Just too damned weird for me, although DH really, really liked it!

"Jacobs Ladder" - I'm sorry, another one too weird for me

"Battlefield Earth" - What in the hell was John Travolta thinking??

And my final one I was forced to watch this weekend by DH, who insisted it was a pretty good movie. It was so awful that I seriously began to question DH's taste in movies:

"Whiteboys"

I asked DH's friend/co-worker this question over the weekend.

His answer:

Barney movies! (Okay, but he is a dad.)

So, before someone starts nominating Barney, we should make a rule that the movie you nominate for "worst movie ever" can't be rated G, and likewise, it can't be rated X.

Rosebud

07-11-2005, 06:21 PM

There are so many movies I've hated-- and yet been forced to watch. The mention of "Boxing Helena" made me laugh... yes, that was terrible. So terrible that I'd completely blocked it out, actually.

Movies that I hated more than I can possibly explain:

Volcano (remember this piece of crap, anyone?)
Dogma (Kevin Smith sucks)
Waterworld (WHO thought this was a good movie idea?!)
Seven Years in Tibet (Or, as I like to call it, Seven Years in the Theatre)
The Rules of Attraction (I have no words for how shockingly awful this was)

Bad Movies by Directors I usually like:

AI
Vanilla Sky

Movies I was fortunate enough to miss but my friends are STILL complaining about:

From Justin to Kelly
Rollerball

By the way I'm STUNNED that Groundhog Day is on a list or two! We actually had to study that in film school as an example of a perfectly structured comedy and it's widely loved among my peers here in Hollywood. Just goes to show that there's no one movie everyone will like!

Rosebud

07-11-2005, 08:52 PM

katmg- I don't know if you've studied story structure at all, but we did quite a bit of that in our screenplay classes in college, using all sorts of different films as examples of when things work and when they don't, structurally. It's pretty dry stuff, but if you're interested, I recommend "Story" by Robert McKee. As I recall, Groundhog Day was used as an example of successful story arc (with the protagonist arcing from bitter and self-involved to hopeful and selfless. Personally, I think it's a very clear execution of a high concept idea-- there are no strings left dangling in the plot. However, whether or not the film is critically good doesn't mean everyone will like it. Lord knows I've disliked a lot of films that were well regarded, critically. So, I was just saying that I was surprised to see it on a "hate" list -- but not that those people who didn't like it aren't totally entitled to their opinion.

Was that a wordy enough answer for you? Ha ha! :p

I have to agree. While it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, it certainly was quite a let down after Meet the Parents. :(

I love Groundhog Day. I think Bill Murray is a genius as a comedic actor. :)

Somehow I ended up seeing Resident Evil (went to the dollar cinema and it was the only movie playing I hadn't already seen) and really really hated it. I wanted to leave but managed to fall asleep instead. (DH was somewhat intrigued and I didn't want to make him go.)

Also really disliked Roadtrip. I normally can get into stupid humor, fart jokes, etc. (I liked America Pie alright and laughed like crazy at Old School) but this one just was too much for me. I think it was the scene with the mouse that just ruined it.

Yeah, I'll probably get flamed for this, but Gladiator is probably one of the worst movies I've seen. Add to the list: Rudy (can it get any more sappier?), Chicago (love musicals but not this one!), and I second whoever said Lost in Translation. We turned it off because it was so dull.

I liked the storyline of Moulin Rouge and the absolute hilarity of some of the musical numbers. However, the cinematography made me literally sick to my stomach in some places. I can't handle the fast moving zoom shots or the "virtual reality ride-like" shots. I had to close my eyes during parts of the movie.

Ok I watched the first one for the heck of it but after reading that I don't think I will be adding Meet the Fockers to my netflix queue. ;)

PG-rated

07-13-2005, 11:07 AM

I hated Vanilla Sky and The Mummy Returns (mainly because I paid full price to see it), and was seriously disappointed in Eyes Wide Shut. I'm also probably the only person on Earth who didn't like Million Dollar Baby. I actually loved the first 2/3 of it, but hated the ending, and the fact that I was liking it up till then made the letdown even worse.

But my least favorite movie of all time has to be Your Friends and Neighbors. DH made me watch it when we were first dating, and I always tell him he's really lucky I didn't dump him right then. :)

Movies I like that other people have put on their least favorite list here:
Groundhog Day
Moulin Rouge
Pulp Fiction
Napoleon Dynamite
AI
Lost in Translation
Team America
Punch Drunk Love
Blair Witch Project
Crybaby
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
The Matrix (only the first one - the other two were disappointing)
Kill Bill (Part 2 - I skipped part 1 because it was too violent for me, and I don't think I missed much)

PG-rated

07-13-2005, 11:12 AM

Oh! Just thought of another: Blair Witch Project 2. We rented it to see if it was really as bad as everyone said. It was.

BUT if you watch it with the director's commentary on, it's pretty funny, because it totally explains why the movie was so awful (in a nutshell, he's a sucky director, and doesn't have any clue how to structure a movie).

I loved "Love Actually" and I don't know why.

Movies that I wasted my money and time on:

Changing Lanes (Ben Affleck & Samuel L. Jackson)
Lift Your Voice ?? (Hillary Duff flick - DD made me see it)
The Ring (not.scary.at.all)

In Blade Runner's defense... unfortunately, the only version you can find now is the director's cut, not the original release which was actually MUCH better. My husband can detail what is different in them (I know that the voice overs are much better in the original) and we all agree that the director's cut sucks!

I have to agree with hockeybrat. We were on our honeymoon when we saw two movies ~ The Ring and Red Dragon. We saw Red Dragon first and it was icky, but not too scary. It was rated R. I figured how bad could The Ring possibly be since it was only PG-13?? Scared the crap out of me.

Oh, this was also during the same time period of the sniper shootings in VA/MD along 95... which is where we drove to get anywhere on our honeymoon. I was on edge for a few days!!

The Ring not only scared me to death, it also scared my DH!! He actually refused to go upstairs to our bedroom by himself the night that we watched it. :D Too, too funny! Honestly, that movie was the first and only one I have watched with DH that actually scared him.

I hated Closer because it was foul, vulgar for no reason other than to be vulgar, depressing and disappointing. Jude Law, Clive Owen, Natalie Portman and Julia Roberts can all act like nobody's business ... but nobody had any business actually making this movie! IT was just wretched.

Lost in Translation was awful. I was bored through about half an hour of it, then just gave up and turned the dang thing off. I *never* do that!

I love Groundhog's Day, Gladiator and Moulin Rouge. The highlight of Meet the Fockers was the little baby saying "ass-HOOOOOLE."

Another movie I just saw, expecting to like: Hitch. Wasn't a fan. Eva Mendes is beautiful but a terrible actress, and the plot was just not there. All the best parts were shown during the previews. It's the only Will Smith movie I've seen and not liked!

"I hated Closer because it was foul, vulgar for no reason other than to be vulgar, depressing and disappointing. Jude Law, Clive Owen, Natalie Portman and Julia Roberts can all act like nobody's business ... but nobody had any business actually making this movie! IT was just wretched."

Well, see...I would argue that the filmmaker wasn't going for a happy moment. And that because he elicited such a strong emotion from you, that he succeeded. I would also argue that he was attempting to show the intense emotions involved in sexual relationships and how those emotions can lead to actions that hurt people so deeply. But, how those people can ultimately redeem themselves in different ways. I think the camera work, scoring, acting, script, and soundtrack was brilliant.

I'm really not invested heavily either way though...just wanted to add a little discussion. I think people like what they like. :) It's all so subjective.

Sposa06 Thanks for clarifying why you dislike Closer, as many of us CC girls seem to according to this thread. I still want to see it.

I know it's not the worst movie I've seen, but in terms of being the most DISAPPOINTED in a movie, it has to be Episode II. George Lucas should NEVER write dialogue--it was almost painful to watch.

Note: I am HUGE Star Wars fan and have been since I was a child.

Some of the worst movies I have ever watched:

Howard the Duck

Eyes Wide Shut
The Naked Gun movies with Leslie Nielsen
The Whole Ten Yards ( the first movie was ok..this one really was just awful)
Death to Smoochy
Johny Neumonic
AI
Solaris
Red Sonja
Conan the Barbarian

Oh and Day After Tomorrow or as I like to call it, Armageddon meets Titanic meets Twister.

I suppose that's true - it wasn't a poorly made or poorly acted movie ... I just thought the story was offensive drivel! Now, same cast and same director with a different story to work with? That could be good!

I just remembered another movie - One Hour Photo. Creepy ... weird ... illogical. Hated it!

Okay, you may not like Team America because (let me guess, it offended you?), but you are voting it as "worst movie EVER made"? Because offensive or not, I was pretty impressed with the amount of work and artistry put into the film. Did you watch the special features part of the DVD? I did, and as an artist, I was very impressed with how the movie was made. But yes, I can understand being offended by the film.

OK, you have a point on the marionette work. What I thought made it one of the worse movies was the story line. I couldn't really get past the storyline to appreciate the actual puppetwork. The "love" scene was a little more than I expected :eek: but I wasn't really offended I was more shocked than anything.

Closer
Rules of Attraction was amazing
Eyes Wide Shut

The version of Great Expectations with Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke. I even wrote a review of it in college for the student newspaper. I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it. it is such a freaking horrible movie. I think I could probably write a book on all the things I hate about that movie. And honestly, I usually *try* to like movies. I prefer to like them. I go to them wanting to like them. So this experience was very strange. And my roommate had the same reaction. ;)

Oh yes indeed. Alas I have never seen it, but the night I wanted to, my friends refused (they had seen it a million times already) and they forced me to watch Monty Python's Holy Grail...really hated them at the time for it (I was a huge fan of cheesy pseudo-horror movies) but I've never regretted Holy Grail. :D

10-05-2005, 10:11 AM

OK in 14 pages no one has mentioned The. Absolute. Worst. Movie. Ever?

This is one that fans and non-fans (though there weren't many non-fans of the genre who saw it) alike despised, and it was made all the worse by the 20+ year wait and building anticipation.

Do you know?

That's right, Dungeons and Dragons.

I saw hard-core gamers (like my then-boyfriend/now-DH's friends) *crying* during and after the movie. There was silence as we exited the theater (not just us, but everyone), then as we all made our way to the parking structure (theater in a place where there's little street parking) you could hear people start to deconstruct it, to try unsuccessfully to find *anything* redeeming about the movie.

Poorly made, poorly cast (poor Jeremy Irons must have had some huge college bills or balloon payment coming up to allow himself to be in it), bad makeup, bad...just everything. And, as I mentioned, the fact that gamers had been waiting decades to have *someone* bring it to life just made it so much worse, that this story, this screenplay, and this director was the one to do it...I'm NOT a gamer (but have always been surrounded by them) so it didn't directly affect me (except for the movie running time and hours since then discussing it I'll never get back), but it was really so sad to see would-be mega-fans soooooo disappointed in such an awful movie.

Hands down, it's:

http://www.bubbahotep.com/images/store/largemini.jpg

Based on the Bram Stoker Award nominee short story by acclaimed author Joe R. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-tep tells the “true” story of what really did become of Elvis.

We find the King (Bruce Campbell) as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home, who switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his “death”, then missed his chance to switch back. Elvis teams up with Jack (Ossie Davis), a fellow nursing home resident who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy, and the two valiant old codgers sally forth to battle an evil Egyptian entity who has chosen their long-term care facility as his happy hunting grounds…

I still curse DH for making me watch this movie with him. And he thought it was great...

I have to agree with:
Eyes Wide Shut
The Avengers
Lost in Translation

Moulin Rouge also made me sick to my stomach, but I liked it. Just can't watch it with a headache ;)

One no one has mentioned:
Anger Management -- horrible movie!
About Schmidt
Ray
Heavenly Creatures

I liked ok, but was disappointed by:
Laws of Attraction
The Wedding Date
The Pacifier (I know, stupid to have had any expectations in the first place. Sigh)

I know there are more, but my brain won't allow me to remember them. Trauma prevention, you know.

Wedding Crashers – appalling, an idea that was good for 5mins of screen time, no more. I wanted to slap that Owen Wilson, hard

Don't worry -- the list is actually the best of the worst movies, the movies that you watch in spite of yourself. My favorite on their list is #12: Summer School. :p

I just wonder why my all-time favorite good bad-movie Road House (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098206/), isn't on this list. They are definitely missing some of the classics!

Both movies are equally cheesy (although, nobody better tell me that Top Gun's a lame movie....it might be my absolute favorite movie ever) with rockin' soundtracks: Top Gun had Kenny Loggins, but Iron Eagle has Queen, and a Queen song that references fried chicken at that! ;)

I am also another HUGE fan of The Beastmaster. I used to have an audio recording of the movie, so I literally know every line and sound in that movie. I used to listen to it at night going to bed. And, hello, Marc Singer was absolutely beautiful in that movie!! Tanya Roberts was pretty darn hot, too!! Heck, so was John Amos!! That movie showed off some good assets! My son wanted to name our two cats after the ferrets in the movie - Koto & Podo.

I also really love Tango & Cash! Worth Winning is my Mark Harmon "guilty pleasure" movie... it's so stupid, you know that a man wrote it! Never been a big fan of Summer School. My all-time favorite Mark Harmon movie, though, is Stealing Home!

Not sure if it's been mentioned, by my vote for Worst Move Ever goes to <drumroll>... Eyes Wide Shut, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and director Stanley Kubrick's last film. I would've died, too, rather than see my name associated with that piece of drivel.

It was touted as daring and scandalous...maybe it would've been, if had been released in 1969, rather than 1999.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but hands down the worst movie is The Fifth Element (http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/thefifthelement/title-navigation-2.html) with Bruce Willis. From a screeching lead female to every stereotypical character in the book, this movie STUNK.

I LOVE that movie!! :eek:

Me too! Although Chris Tucker was a bit annoying... Still one of my favorites.

Worst.Movie.Ever?

Alone in the Dark (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369226/)

No question. I think it was #2 on Rotten Tomatoes bottom 100 list. It's REALLY REALLY bad. I can't even begin to describe how bad. I love bad horror movies, but this was unwatchable. Ed Wood just lost his place as the worst director of all time. No, seriously.

It stars Tara Reid as an archaeologist. Complete with "nerdy" glasses and a lab coat. In one scene, the characters are wandering around, calling out their lost comrade's name. His name is Marco. Yeah, imagine the reaction in the theater. :rolleyes:

My vote goes to "The Royal Tennenbaums". Rented it, hated it, didn't finish it. We had high expectations for it since it had so many big name stars.

I also vote for "Lost in Translation" such a strange flick.

Vanilla Sky is just as awful and weird. what do those 2 movies have in common? Tom Cruise! hmm...

Hated Vanilla Sky! What an awful awful movie.

Another "worst movie" would have to be The Pledge with Jack Nicholson. Just terrible.

Probably because you were smart enough no to see it in the first place. :o

Ok...I have to say this.

Little Miss Sunshine has to be the worst movie ever! My and my boo, just finished watching this last night, and we were scratching our heads about what the big hype about this movie was. It was just bizarre.:confused:

p.s I love the last dragon....Who's the master? Shogun! ha ha.

I agree that it wasn't the greatest, but knowing that it was based on a true story and seeing what happened at the end, i couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks. They were extremly bad actors though.

I think so. Although, I pretty much can't stand any Kevin Kostner movie (except for Untouchables).

I just watched "Catch and Release," and if it's not the worst movie ever, it certainly should get a nomination.

Yes, but "based on a true story" is a little ridiculous when the only facts we know for sure is that two divers got stranded and then one of their snorkels turned up in a shark's belly. So, that's the first ten minutes of the movie and the last five. Everything else is conjecture... and bad acting. Bad, bad acting.

New World

I've pretty much given up on an Terrence Malick films post-Dirty Harry. They are visually stunning but the philosophically-saturated plots to his films are worse than medieval torture.

The Thin Red Line is awful, so I could imagine that New World is just as bad.

I totally agree with you, i just get weepy at just about anything.

Alpha Dog. I can't believe Justin Timberlake was even a part of this movie. It was so bad on so many levels!

Am I the ONLY person who couldn't get into The Lord of the Rings?

I am just NOT a fan of fantasy, sci-fi, etc.

ETA:
A few people awhile back thought they were the only ones who didn't care for Forest Gump. My sister (who was a theater major in college) did not like that! So, you are not alone!

I have to agree about Royal Tenenbaums.

The only other movie we couldn't stand finishing was The Aviator.

I think that those who did not like Little Miss Sunshine and New World probably would not like most festival films. LMS won a lot of festival awards. NW was the runner up for Best Film at Venice last year. Most festival films are sort of the same genre - really serious, make you think about it for days, etc.

No, I like plenty of fesitival films. I just don't like Terrence Malick films - I don't care for his style.

Dude! The Last Dragon is one of my favorite movies! I even have it on DVD(hangs head in shame):)

I want the dvd! I have to get it - maybe I can find it online.

I thought of this thread when I found the Last Dragon on sale at Best Buy for $5.99. And what's worse? I was so giddy and excited about it, that I bought it. :D What's my name?......

Chris Rock is lucky to be walking around after that. I remember the critics asking if there was any script at all involved because everyone seemed to be making up their own dialogue. I believe it was Ebert who said something like, "Is this movie finished?" hahahaha! The worst.

Gawd in heaven....that movie was horrific! I don't think I watched more than 30 minutes.

I found a clip of the Last Dragon on You Tube last week. Men, I was doing cartwheels.

Ugh-totally agree! However we had dinner with friends and the guy of the couple loves that movie and actually subjected us to watching some of his favorite parts.
