Worst movie

[dukepsy1963]

What was the worst movie you ever saw?

For me, many come to mind.......but some of the worst were:

1. Titanic
2. Choo Choo and the Philly Flash
3. Smokey and the Bandit II (or III, I forget)

and many, many others.

[DukeDude]

Natural Born Killers. It was like I paid for a headache.

[Clipsfan]

Python 2 is up there. The most recent movie I walked out of was Lions for Lambs.

[aimo]

The two movies that I came closest to getting up and leaving were Roadhouse (didn't want to see it, but a friend really wanted to) and Romeo and Juliet, the one with Claire Danes and Leo Dicaprio.

I know I'll catch a lot of flak for R&J from its ardent fans, but seriously, that whole opening scene was pure torture to me. I thought I was going to have to run out of the theater screaming.

[pamtar]

Anything Nic Cage.

[pamtar]

Oh yeah, and the Royal Tannenbaums.

[dukegirlinsc]

Hollowman and Mr. Woodcock.

[91devil]

I thought Howard the Duck (dating myself) was unwatchable.

Of recent vintage, Nacho Libre and Spiderman 3 were, uh, 'bad'.

[blublood]

1. Tron - yes, that was a fine idea, let's make a movie about being trapped in a giant computer.

2. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - *loathe* that movie!! The rowers rowing used to scare me as did Viola Whatshername getting sucked into the giant pipe. And they used to make us watch it over and over again at my sorry excuse for a school during "library" time.

3. Punch Drunk Love - I know it was supposed to be all wonderful and sardonic and whatnot on Adam Sandler's part, but it was a terrible, terrible movie. It's one of the few movies I've ever actually walked out of for reasons that were not related to offensive content. I just wanted my afternoon back!

I liked The Royal Tannenbaums though! (of course, I didn't pony up $10 to see it on the big screen)

[hc5duke]

Closer. The only movie that actually maked me want to walk out of the theater. I was on a date so I didn't; but it turned out she didn't like it either...

Kickin It Old Skool and Delta Farce were also pretty bad, but with these two, you know it's bad before you watch the movie...

I'll also add, any Hollywood movie with Jet Li.

[DukeDevil]

1. Tron - yes, that was a fine idea, let's make a movie about being trapped in a giant computer.

Have you heard of the Matrix?


My vote for worst movie ever, so bad it's good, is Shark Attack 3, the Megalodon (or something like that).

To help the voting (and to show you a few scenes from this movie)

Have you heard of the Matrix?

My entire freshman English class was based around those two movies, Tron and The Matrix. Our assignments were all about whether or not we can define what is real in the cyber-world.


I'll throw in a vote for Meet Joe Black. Also, party of one for "Hero"

[DukeDevil]

Really? I loved Hero...I guess that's why you said party of one.

I was excited about the forbidden kingdom until I noticed that it's going to be in english and not subtitled. I always feel like that weakens the movie.

edit: not that I think english is weak, but rather, than the actors should speak in their 1st language and that strengthens it.

Edit edit: To Genos and the philly cheese steak thread...English IS weak. (j/k)

When I think of the definition of worst movie ever, I think of movies that are so painful I would need to be physically forced to watch again. That I would rather do just about anything else in the world than watch. That I'd rather stare at blank TV screen then watch. That I'd rather watch replays of UNC winning the national championship than watch.

I've got a few that fit that description for me, so I'll nominate these for consideration:

Edward Scissorhands
Howard the Duck
Nothing but Trouble
LA Story
Joe vs the Volcano
Gattaca
The Island
Sin City
Transformers
Miami Vice
Anyhting Eddie Murphy since Nutty Professor
Anything Cuba Gooding since Jerry McGuire

Bad sequels almost deserve their own category, but these are the ones that stand out among that list:
Major League 2
Rocky 5
Be Cool
Karate Kid 3
Batman 2 and beyond

The above list is pretty brutal, but for all time worst I think I'll take Edward Scissorhands. Makes me angry just thinking about it.

Howard the Duck
Nothing but Trouble
LA Story
Joe vs the Volcano
Gattaca
The Island
Sin City

Miami Vice

Blasphemy...Joe vs. the Volcano is the greatest movie of all time

[DevilAlumna]

Blasphemy...Joe vs. the Volcano is the greatest movie of all time

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but I did think it was pretty darned good... the second time around.

Marshall: What kinda clothes do you got now?
Joe Banks: Well, I got the kind of clothes I'm wearing.
Marshall: So you got no clothes.

Blasphemy...Joe vs. the Volcano is the greatest movie of all time

I have no response to that.

One vote for The Neverending Story II - yes, there was a II. We went and saw it at the theater when my sister and I were kids because we just loved the first one, and it was gawd-awful. Thankfully, the projector broke about 10 minutes from the end, and we all got our money back.

[Lavabe]

Terms of Endearment
Legal Eagles
Clan of the Cave Bear
Dante's Peak
Volcano
The Money Pit
Troop Beverly Hills
Exit to Eden
Escape from New York

Except for the Godfather, most any picture with either a "II" or "III" after the main title.

There we go. Enjoy.
Cheers,
Lavabe

P.S. GOT to love Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death!

I was excited until I realized it was the same movie as the dumb one with the American kids traveling into another world. I want some Jet Li/Jackie Chan action!
