Worst Movie Ever
 

I wasn't really intending to make this into a thread where everyone posts the worst movie they've ever seen (although I guess it's alright) but instead to discuss a movie I just wasted an hour of my time on.

Has anyone seen the 2003 movie Elephant? OMG what kind of sick @#$& director/producer/writer would even consider making such a thing!?!? This was about the worst story I have ever seen in a film production. Not to mention it had several camera shots over 30 seconds long and half of them were of the back of someone's head and a quarter of them were so blurry they'd make you nauseous to look at and the dialog and acting was pure amateur. But my main gripe is really the story, I never want to have to watch that again. I'd not an "all Disney all the time" type of movie watcher but I think this movie just takes it a little too far. I watch CSI three times a week, I've watched movies where whole cities are obliterated in an instant, and I don't mind it at all. But this Elephant movie really got to me. Treating human lives like a few pixels on the screen of a video game, just awful. I think movies that analyze the mind of a psycho person are interesting, but although I can't put my finger on it, something about this movie was just plain wrong and I didn't walk away from this movie with a good feeling at all.

After watching this, I'm sorry I own a TV and I'm sorry I pay extra for movie channels. That movie was really quite disturbing.

So, hopefully someone else has seen it and is with me on this one.

And for all of you who enjoy playing arcade games like Time Crisis and whatnot, I encourage you to watch this movie and maybe then you'll think again. I think PacMan eating little dots will do just fine for me.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I still want the 1:30 of my life back that I wasted watching Napoleon Dynamite.

Re: Worst Movie Ever

Is that the movie you were talking about? Elephant? It sounds familiar, what pay channel was it on? If it was on Showtime I may have seen part of it.
It looks like an independant film maker just trying to make a film about columbine and trying to cash in on the public's voyeuristic tendancy to know about tragedy..
(Titanic Anyone?? - I liked that movie, just an example lol)

But if you want a movie about that type of incident (school shootings, and bullying, and other kinds of teen angst and HS drama) that will make you think, seriously go watch the movie "Bang, Bang, You're Dead"
That movie was like... Whoa...
It also wasn't "Disneyesque" so it's not for everyone, but Middle schoolers, and HSers could benefit from watching it from a perspective of our reality which may and can take place in your school nowadays.


Anyways.. tragedy's aside (besides box offfice totals), I fell asleep in the movie theaters watching Battlefield Earth..
Horrible role for Travolta, and just a horrible movie overall.
I watched about a half hour, woke up to a planet blowing up, and was like.. what did I miss, and I look over and 2 other people I was with were asleep too..
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0185183/

Horrible, Horrible movie..

Oh, and for fear of getting all the red dots in the world for reputation, I thought Monty Python and The Holy Grail was borderline bad as well.
It had one funny part. The bunny rabbit. That's about it.
Fell asleep watching that too. Woke up, and the people I was with made me watch that rabbit scene. That made it worth my little time I spent awake watching it.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Howard the Duck was so terrible that I hid my face when I left the theater so nobody I know would know I had paid to see it.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

To Elgin:
Incidentally, The Marksman was awful. Wesley Snipes, straight to video. My parents paid money to rent it, and I actually watched it. To anybody who knows anything, it's bad; really bad. (Includes F-14s flown by Army pilots from a Navy carrier that bears a submarine's registry number. Air force flies F-4s in the present day. Said Army pilots shoot down Russians over Russian airspace without asking for permission; but they're there because the Russians asked for their help. Nobody uses night vision goggles; instead, they wave white flashlights around; miraculously don't get shot. Wesley Snipes places magic homing device on reactor so that smart bombs can find it; only problem—why do you need Wesley to plant a magic homing device if you already know exactly where the target is? Blowing up reactor will purportedly kill hundreds of thousands; terrorists/Russians try to set up Americans to destroy reactor. How? By threatening to blow up reactor first.*)

*I'm deliberately overlooking the one plot subtlety in the movie, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone....

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I second that, only I could only stand 15 minutes.

I'd also like to add "Gone Fishin" to the list.

<comic book guy style>
Worst. Movies. Ever.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Hm though I didn't see Gigli (did anyone???) I hear that was pretty bad.

My personal least favorite movie was Barber Shop. I honestly thought the screen could've been left blank and I would've been more amused. That aside, I think my favorite comedy would be The Notebook....

*ducks mob of angry women*

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

It seems like most people liked Elephant.

However, there were 100 other movies that made the bottom 100 list.

I'm a little surprised Starship Troopers 2 didn't make it up (down?) there. That movie should get bad ratings just for being bad. Then the ratings should be lowered for desecrating its awesome parent movie. I couldn't believe how bad it was. I didn't think that someone would put in so much energy to make such a bad movie. Didn't they realize how bad it was before they released it?

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Starship Troopers (the first) wasn't so fantastic either. ("Oh look, an asteroid is about to flatten the starship. Let's wait until the last possible second to actually try to dodge it, because we've got Denise Richards piloting the ship."...crash!)

And a bonus: Trail of the Pink Panther was a travesty. Old clips of Peter Sellers (who, by this point, was actually deceased) strung together without a plot. This is one that my parents rented in my youth, and I never forgave them for it. (Do you see a pattern emerging?)

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I seriously saw this movie like 4 times, unfortunately.

I fell asleep as soon as I got on one flight, and wokeup partway through the movie. I didn't have anything else to do, so I watched it.

Then at a later date, I was reading a magazine or something on another flight, and I figured I'd watch it just because I don't like seeing half a movie. Only problem was I started watching like 10 minutes before where I started the first time.

And then finally, on another flight, I saw the whole thing.

All in all, I thought it was lame. And then ending was lame too. Everyone I know cried when they saw it. I was like "cool, they died together, and she finally remembered".

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Agreed.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Not as bad as I want my 6h 55m and $30 back for Star Wars: Episodes 1-3...

Fool me once? Shame on you... Fool me thrice? I'm just a wishful thinker :(

As for a "worst movie ever" I can't really decide on just one, but DNA (rip-offs and terrible acting/special effects galore) or Freddy Got (blank) (Tom Green FTW! Or more accurately, "FTL!").

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

You don't know bad until you've seen Manos:the Hands of Fate, roughly meaning-

Hands: the Hands of fate.First off it was written and directed by a FERTILIZER

SALESMAN. It starts with a nine minute driving scene which, all in all, serves no

purpose in the movie. It was even a magazine article (Entertainment Weekly) as

the worst movie of all time. Sadly, the first time I watched it I did not see the MST3K

version and swore I would never see it again. Now after about 10 times watching it

(With the MST3K version) I still have yet to find a plot or find out what Torgo is

supposeds to be (a goat man of some sort I've heard?)

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Cory, I couldn't last 1 min 30 sec of Napoleon Dynamite.

Tristan, again we disagree (surprised?) Starship Troopers is the best B movie ever made.

Worst movie ever, and I bought it, Sandra Bullock (I'm in love) in Hangmen. I am really glad I bought it though because now I have a reference point for the ultimately worst movie. After I show it to people they change their minds on bad movies.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

This I can't believe...You didn't think the battle of the black knight was funny, or the three questions or the Grail Light House? You must have watched a different "Holy Grail".

I must agree with Napoleon Dynamite, my son conned me into watching it this weekend and it was a toss up which was going to drive me screaming mad first. Watching another minute of the movie or installing WINXP.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I think the worst 'sitting through' movie i ever saw was Walking Tall (the original, back in the 70s?)

The violence was all the more gutwrenching because the movie was based on a real story -and it was unusually long for movies back then

I remember sitting there thinking "Isnt this movie EVER going to end?"

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Napoleon Dynamite was horrible and the worst part is I have friends who wont stop talking about it! They loved it.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

IT has to be the thee stupidest movie I have ever seen. I thought it was going to be scary down to the core because i hate clowns...but it was like a fake horror movie. anyone can see it...believe me it wont scare you...i acutally laughed.

Re: Worst Movie Ever

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Snow Walker.
[SPOILER]



It's about this pilot who crashes in alaska who get's saved by an inuit girl he happens to pick up to take to a hospital. It ends kind of abruptly with his funeral (everyone think's he's dead) and occasionally showing him walking towards these inuits. And then it ends and the credits come. I watched the credits hoping that after the credits the movie would end. It did not.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Kung-Pow. HORRIBLE

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I'm sorry to say but i saw the movie spice world you know from that pop group which i do not dare repeat their name and glitter featuring Myrah carry or just about any pop singers movie as it has already been said Gilli

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Then I take it that none of you has ever actually sat through either "Star Slammer" or "Eegah." The former was characterized as "cheap and relentlessly stupid" - and that was from the director! The latter is one of the most infamous pieces of crap ever captured on celluloid - Richard Kiel's greatest embarrassment. These films cause actual physical pain when watched.

-dave

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I think I have to toss in a chip for "Wedding Crashers". It was unnecessarily lewd and remarkably uningenious considering the (usually) great cast of comedians that were involved in the project. Making people so uncomfortable that they are forced to blush and squeak out bawdy laughs just isn't the way that humor is supposed to operate.

"Titanic" also goes on my own "never to be seen again" list. I didn't want to see it when I was 10 and I sure don't want to see it now. Taking amazing footage and reconstruction of a ship and tossing a cheesy love story into it just doesn't cut it for me.

In all honesty, the less obscenity and the more sight humor, the better the film. Sorry to butt heads with you once again Cory, but I loved "Napoleon Dynamite" and "Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail" both very much. Yes, they start slowly, but the way I see it, it is the fine details that count.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Okay, first. I have to say that I like a lot of bad movies, movies such as "Toxic Avenger" and "Class of Nuke em' High", and "Death Race 2000"... they're fun to watch! But some movies just should not have been made, like "Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe", which had that wrestler, Jesse Ventura as the star. Worse acting ever. And then there's this horror movie from 1972 called "Pigs," which is about some pigs who got loose and ate a passed out drunk in a field and have craved human flesh ever since, a delicacy their owner decides to provide them with. The pigs were the best actors in that movie.

Heidi

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I guess we just can't agree :p

I thought this movie was hilarious. Then again, that's a portion of the humor I enjoy.

I think you just can't go wrong with anything that has Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in it :)

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I would have to agree that "manos the hands of fate" was the all time worst movie I have ever seen!

Although "Santa Claus conquers the martians" was pretty bad as well :yikes:

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

There were several movies that came out in the early 70's that apparently were designed to make the audience puke. They started a trend: when you got your tickets they handed you barf bags.

I cant remember any of the titles off hand. One was about the torture used in the middle ages, others were slasher films.

I never went to see any of them, but a few of my friends did. Ill bet if you saved those barf bags you could sell them now on ebay for a lot of $$$.

OK: Google is my friend today. one was called 'mark of the devil'

EDIT: I found a less,umm... objectional review of the movie:

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Gigli was absolutly horrible. Every 6 words was a swear and every third word was baywatch. It was so bad. I want my 7.50 and two hours back!

The only movie worse than that one was Spinal Tap. I had to watch that for a class this summer. So horrible. Nothing can replace the time & brain cells melted by watching that movie.

The new Jumangi movie looks pretty bad as well.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Spinal Tap? !!!!!!

that movie is a classic. Many people thought it was a documentary about a real band, and one band (I forget which one) thought the movie was about them, and threatened to sue Rob Reiner.

Spinal tap = pure genius (but you have to keep in mind, its a fine line between genius and stupidity).

on a scale of 1 to 10, Tap goes to 11 :^)

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

We watched it in our documentary class... the teacher thought it was real when it came out too. It is a really good format and filming but still really really bad.

Has anyone ever watched Godzilla fights the Giant Moth or Godzilla on Monster Island? Those two were pretty bad even for Godzilla movies.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

when we need that little extra something we turn it to 11,
why not make ten the highest,
because it goes to 11

i think that was how it was said in spinal tap that movie was awsome

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Spinal Tap asks the retorical question "how much more funny could a movie be?"

and the answer comes jumping out at you: "none!"

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I saw parts of Spinal Tap and liked it. It's a decent movie.

ALSO I'M SO MAD MORTAL KOMBAL: ANNIHILATON IS ON THAT LIST. And at the bottom nonetheless!!!! WHAT THE HECK. I loved that movie, and I love Mortal Kombat. Those movies ROCKED. /End.

But I'm with Heidi, I love lots of bad movies, From Justin to Kelly, Crossroads (OMG yes I liked the movie Britney Spears made. Kill me.), Napoleon Dynamite, and others I can't think of.

But really....MORTAL KOMBAT IS AWESOME.
/End

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

"This Is Spinal Tap" is an absolute classic! I saw it when it originally came out in theatres, and it was a riot. But then I saw it again when it came out on video, and I watched it at my mother's. She was one of those that was convinced that it was a real documentary about a real band. I haven't let her in on the joke yet (and that was 15 years ago). :)

Anyway, back to the topic of the thread. How about "Hercules in New York" for a real mood-killer. This was Arnold Schwarzenegger's first movie, and he is titled as "Arnold Strong." The director thought his accent was so thick that it would never be understood by American audiences, so they did a voice-over for all his lines. Now that we all know what he actually sounds like, this makes the whole thing hilarious - until you realize just how bad the film actually is, and then it is just sad.

-dave

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

they really should release that movie with Arnolds real voice put back in - wouldnt that be a riot?

a Greek god with an austrian accent?

"Aphroditie is calmning - shes calming here and shes going to kill us awl - we have to get owt, nhow!"

BTW, if you have the DVD you MUST watch Tap with the band commentary track turned on - almost rates as a sequel.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I cant believe you guys havnt posted House of 1000 Corpses
By far, the worst movie ever made. I wasted time watching that, and i tell everyone that its not worth seeing.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

2005's King Kong strikes me as one of the worst movies of all time. I was there with some friends and we all were about to go buy some candy to throw at the screen or ask the managers for our money back because by far that is one of the most horrible, boring, slowest 3 hour movies I have ever seen.

It's not even worth considering IMO.

If you thought Neapolitan Dynamite was bad, you should thank god you haven't seen King Kong yet!

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

For somebody who doesn't know or understand the music scene in the late 70s/early 80s, This Is Spinal Tap would be very slow, dull, and confusing. There are so many inside jokes.
As far as who it's lampooning, the Stonehenge/midget thing could be construed as poking fun at Jethro Tull or Aerosmith, but primarily Black Sabbath; there were numerous Led Zeppelin references (I am a golden god, the Red Snapper, bowing the guitar, etc); the Smell the Glove album cover was inspired by Whitesnake; Queen, Motley Crue, and Def Leppard are among the others blasted. Pure genius, but without context, pure drivel.

And the only things worse than Napoleon Dynamite are Titanic, The Whole Ten Yards, and Saving Silverman. Finally, while The Whole Nine Yards was fantastic, TWTY was horrible (with apologies to Kevin Pollack).

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I can't really think of any awful moves I've seen lately, but there are a few underrated movies that have come out that are awesome. Idiocracy is one of them - Mike Judge's movie, starring Luke Wilson and Mya Rudolph of SNL. Really quite good, about a guy who gets frozen and wakes up 500 years in the future where intelligence has dropped significantly and, even though he was considered average in his time, he is the smartest man alive in 2505.

Another one is Smokin' Aces. If you like a shoot em' up action movie, go see this ASAP.

Lastly, if you like corny cheesy B movies, rent a classic - Army of Darkness. Bruce Campbell is a god among actors.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Time Machine

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268695/


This was the worst movie ever created, ever, anywhere, period.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Yo this is TdorTheBnator (Danny) and the worst movie ever created was a movie called Bubba Ho-Tep. Never watch that movie. And I mean ever.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

The first (and only so far) time I saw the movie Rent I thought it sucked.

I bought a copy of it last week though.

Why? You may ask, would I buy a copy of a movie I thought sucked?
idk.

I'm always up for trying something twice, I was sitting in front of a speaker I couldn't hear a darn thing out of cause it was semi-blown at the time so I couldn't hear, thus could not understand half the dialogue, and if I really don't like it after seeing it a second time, I only paid 8 bucks for it, and know some people I can readily sell it to who loved it. lol

I'll have to report back when I watch it the second time.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Worst movie I've ever seen is To Kill a Mockingbird. The book was even worse (probably just because it took me longer to get through). When my mom found out I had to read it for school, she made me watch the move. Then I had to watch it agian in class.

A lot of the other movies my mom makes me watch aren't that great either. Most of them are musicals made 20-30 years before I was born.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I'm genuinely surprised.

To Kill a Mocking bird is considered not only a classic in literature but also in film. Both the book and the movie are some of the most significant works on race in America, and even on parenting. It is perhaps the greatest performance by Gregory Peck, and he had plenty of great roles. The movie resulted in several academy awards and golden globes, and many more nominations.

The film adaptation is good, but the book is much more nuanced. It is the quintessential American Novel (and Haper Lee the most noted literary 'one hit wonder). I've read it three times, and each time I notice another little detail- I don't think there is a wasted word in the book. I can understand how it might be arduous to read in school in small little bits over weeks, but I really hope you come back to it again later on. It really is one of the most important books you'll ever read.

-Andy A.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Most kids when forced to read a book in school will say it sucked. The question lies in does it suck because they had to read it, or does it genuinely suck? Their response to that tells you if they really understood it and can think about it.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

NAPOLEAN DYNOMYTE has to be the worst movie ver created..not only is it a waste of film, but i havnt watched the whole thing due to the fact that i watched 5 minutes of it and decided it was a waste of my time.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

The worst movie ever? The Super Mario Bros. movie.

I haven't seen it but I've heard it's pretty bad...my friend wants to see it, and I told him that he'll regret seeing it. Even Nintendo Power magazine hates it.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

i unno 70% of movies some of you talk about, but here are mine:
- End of Days: unintentionally hilarious
- Romeo & Juliet w/ DiCaprio: terrible way to modernize
- Phone Booth: wth ending
- A.I.: wth ending #2
- Titanic: so overrated

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Worst movie I've seen... Showgirls. I watched it a couple years ago on TV because I was bored. It was so bad it was hilarious. I can't point out exact parts... it was just... horrendous.

I'm surprised some of the movies people are saying that are bad, but we're all entitled to like "bad" movies and dislike "good" movies. The world would be boring if we all had the same opinions about everything, even if it was just about movies!

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I'd just like to point out that nobody has mentioned the undeniable, Official worst movie ever, directed, wrtten, and produced by the Officially Worst Filmmaker Ever, Ed Wood. It's called:

Plan 9 From Outer Space!!!!

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I think the worst movie I've ever seen (or not quite seen...I turned it off about 10 minutes in) was Johnny English. The one with Mr. Bean? I think I lost brain cells watching the only part I did...

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

hhaha, has laura seen this post elgin?

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I have seen the movie.

It is definitely skippable.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I think the worse movie I have ever seen would have to be An Epic Movie. I cant believe it cost 8 bucks. A close second would be Ghost Rider... I thought it was more comical than anything.... Nicholas Cage's body was way too built for his own good and the hair and eyes... over the top. Dont forget the lovely wardrobe that Eva Mendez wore....

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

No contest, it is CRANK. My friends had me watch it a awhile ago and I was so upset I wanted to bang my head against a wall. A close second is a tie between Airplane 2 and Caddyshack 2, completely unneeded and not even in the same league as the originals.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

definitely the worst movie i have ever seen was the Narnia movie

so much garbage in a couple of hours is not even right

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I would like to suggest a few rules for this game.
Just a few simple rules to keep it valid.

-Be sure to actually have watched the movie before declaring it, "The Worst Movie Ever." Basing your opinion entirely off of other's information is not a good way to go.
-Be sure to have watched the entire movie, missing 5-10 mins is okay. Yet, if you only saw the first/last 5-10 minutes of a movie, there is no way you can rate it as, "The Worst Movie Ever."
-Do not simply state it is the, "The Worst Movie Ever" and not provide valid reasons as to why you consider it to be so bad.
-A valid reason is not that you hate the actor, director, or the prequel/sequel, etc.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

i dunno guys its a close call between EPIC MOVIE and the STREET FIGHTER MOVIE and also of course NAPOLEON DYNOMITE.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Romeo and Juliet. Specifically the Leonardo DiCaprio version. You'd think they'd modernize the dialog since they modernized the setting. THEY DIDN'T. :eek: Having a gang war scene with guys talking like they're still in medieval times = ultimate fail. Never, ever watch this abomination of a movie.

Also, the DOA movie looks like it is made of suck. They used an American actor for Kasumi I believe which is total FAIL. Not that I would care anyway about it :P

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Mercury Rising, thank you for posting rules. I hope everyone abides by them.

Well hang on a second. I saw the movie once a long time ago before I read Romeo and Juliet and I thought it was comical, but still stupid. But then I watched it again a few years later, after I had read the book, and this time it was tolorable, and definitely not the WORST movie I've ever seen. There was a reason behind using the original script yet making the setting modern; it draws parrellelisms with the universality of the themes between the fueding families, and... I'm just going to stop there. There's no reason I should bring analysis that belongs in my IB English class into the Chief Delphi forums. But yeah, it wasnt exactly the best of movies, but perhaps the word "abomination" is too harsh. People are allowed to have different interpretations of Shakespeare, and Romeo + Juliet was just that.

To put my 2-cents in for the worst movie I've ever seen, it would have to be Event Horizon. I rented it looking for something interesting, and when I saw the title I figured it had something to do with the event horizon in astrophysics terms (you know, the point of no return when you're entering a black hole, theoretically). It turned into a psychological suspence mystery extreme horror film with waaaay too much blood and gore in the end, to the point where it was just incoherent. I have a friend who watched it with me and said it was the biggest waste of his time ever. I have another friend who is terrified of the movie; its the only one that gives him nightmares. I guess I'm somewhere inbetween. But anyways, it all depends on the person.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Not sure if this has been said before, though The Wicker Man was possibly the mosth horrible movie I've seen. Ever.

I saw this movie based on the preview, which portrayed the movie as being 'not so bad', in my view.

]]Spoilers[[

It turned out to be a no plot movie, with our good friend Mr. Cage running around screaming at people. It turns out he just dies at the end of the movie. I'd have to say the best part of that movie was the credits... But that's just me.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

A few recommendations:

Nacho Libre (as much as I didn't like Napoleon Dynamite, this one was so much worse, even though I love Jack Black)

The Transporter (at least Crank was supposed to be ridiculous!)

Anything by John Carpenter, unless it stars Kurt Russell. I felt so cheated after seeing Ghosts of Mars, and I never paid a cent for it!

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

oh almost forgot to say, idk if anybody else said it yet but i absolutely HATED Taledaga Nights. (i really dont like any will farrell movies)

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

This is ironic. I just watched this movie about an hour ago for the first time. I second... it was pretty bad.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

I agree with Napolian Dynomite, but have any of you seen either the toxic avenger or death race 2000? Those were real winners too.....

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Haven't even finished it yet, but my worst would DEFINITELY be the MTV version of Wuthering Heights- my English class is taught by a 23-year-old, so she's really fun like that. She found it on Netflix, got it, found it was hilariously bad, and so we're watching it. It's so terribly over-modernized, and none of my class thinks anyone will understand it if they haven't read the book.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Napoleon Dynamite? TERRIBLE FILM!!! I was having trouble identifying which parts were supposed to be funny!

Mommie Dearest: horrible! Faye Dunaway's performance (which I enjoyed, but won her a Razzie) actually almost makes it worthwhile.

But, The Hitcher (2007 version) takes the cake. Bad writing, directing, acting. It was just... :( :( :ahh: :eek: :o You know what I mean?

Hmm... best movie ever: Little Miss Sunshine. (Ok, ok, so I've never seen any of the classics. Citizen Kane isn't exactly always on, all right?) I loved Little Miss Sunshine, though. Go see it.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

Well.. I think the Best (only because of the Bikes/Cars) And two worst movies (awful acting/plot lines) are:

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Torque

Both amazing movies for the stunt driving, and Torque rocks only because of so.. many.. bikes.. :D

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

My friends convinced me to go see Premonition with Sandra Bullock, they are no longer my friends.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

The Lord of the Flies movie was horrible. I liked the book but the movie was just abysmal. Half the time it seemed like there wasn't any good acting at all. My English class watched it and found it really cheesy and b-grade, not to mention rather funny (at parts that were supposed to be tragic, ironically)

Also, the documentary Jesus Camp was terrible, not because of the acting/work done on it but because of the way the sect of Christianity shown in the film works (kids are practically being forced to be Christians). I'm not an atheist but that movie was definitely scary in more than one way.

Re: Worst Movie Ever
 

The Bad:
Babel (blah blah blah...2+ hours of wasted culture shocks)
A Scanner Darkly (I liked it, but to the average watcher it was hard to follow)
Hollywoodland (wow, Adrian Brodie good...movie sucked)
Miami Vice (T..E..R..R..I..B..L..E)
Nacho Libre (nothing beats JB dancing in tights...oh wait, yes there is)
Rocky Balboa (cmon, seriously...Stalone almost needed a walker and geritol to get in the ring)
The Matador (Peirce Brosnan is a slimebag, perfect role for this movie...but just too simple)
Harry Potter(s) (I think anything with the name "hogwarts" should be condemned)
Grease (I just never liked it at all)
Flags of our Fathers (good movie but the scenes were too "jumpy" I had a hard time following along)
Go (I have this dvd, and wish it stayed on the shelf)
Island of Dr. Moreau (this piece of garbage scared the crap out of me for a long time)
Wizard of Oz (never liked it, the monkeys scared me)
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (both new & old)
Anything with Hugh Grant (because he's in the SAME role in every movie)
Likewise with Richard Gere (two words, "pretty woman")
And also Russel Crowe (except in a beautiful mind)

The Good:
300 (get up right now and go see it, A-mazing)
The Number 23 (so it got bad reviews, I thought it was a very good look into psychosis of the 23 enigma)
Little Miss Sunshine (I think this movie will be remembered for a while)
Tenacious-D: The Pick Of Destiny (this is a cult CLASSIC-to-be)
The Departed (A++)
The Guardian (good flick)
The Marine (ok, it was cheap and cheesy, but it's a total DUDE movie)
Stranger than Fiction (FINALLY, a role Will Ferrell pulls off without making it stupid)
The Pursuit of Happyness (Saw this opening night, great movie...truley inspiring)
Beerfest (great great great! *however I don't encourage drinking*)
Clerks 2 (great sequel to the first)
Crank (I LOVE JASON STATHAM!)
Click (FINALLY, Adam Sandler is doing serious movies *see Reign over me*)
Gridiron Gang (fantastic movie, I was suprised)
The longest Yard (hysterical)
Lucky Number Slevin (good "who-dun-it" movie)

I know a lot of you are young and to be forgiven for not yet testing the true depths of movie badness. A really bad movie has to be bad in all areas: acting, script, lighting, editing, story line, art direction, costumes and sound. It helps if it features bad acting from otherwise decent actors. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Nightfall, a film adaptation (and I only use the term because I can't think of one that actually applies) of the classic eponymous science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov. Link on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095738/.

It features ravens pecking out the eyes of living people. It features weird editing jumps that make no sense. The script is tedious, the acting wooden, the lighting muddy, and the soundtrack indescribably bad. Really, really awful. I wrote this review in IMDB in 1999:

"I actually paid money to see this in its mercifully brief theatrical release in 1988. The (tiny) audience had fun ad libbing dialogue that was much better than that provided the hapless actors. The film is bad in so many ways that it is difficult to pick out the worst element. Was it the art direction? The acting? The dialogue? The cinematography? The costumes? The plot? The editing? The music? In the end I think the worst thing is that it will probably insure that no decent film will ever be made of Asimov's Nightfall.

"The good doctor wrote that he had never seen the movie, and that he had nothing to do with it. This probably added a couple of years to Asimov's life.

"I can only say that the other reviewers here at IMDb have been far too generous. This film is worse than you can imagine."

WaterWorld?

I actually didn't mind this movie, but it appears that many people did.

I've always had a secret yearning to see that. I asked my mom to put it on her NetFlix queue and she laughed. Loudly.

My choice for worst movie ever is a toss-up. The Comebacks and Saw 4 are both garbage. I have so many horrible things to say about them that I won't even get started.

The worst performance in the history of film is probably Cary Elwes in Saw. He's British, and he forgets halfway through the film that his character is supposed to be American. What ensues is the shakiest accent hybrid of all time. It's hilarious.
