Worst Movie Ever

[sanddrag]

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.

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

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..

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.

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.

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?"

[angelc24]

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

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.

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.

Kung-Pow. HORRIBLE

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

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.

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.

I guess we just can't agree

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

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
