OT: Most hated/worst movies you`ve ever seen

[Gurleyman]

Started off with such promise and quickly went to crap. I'm pissed they screwed up what should have been one of the funniest movies ever.

Ted gets five stars from me, one for each minute that Norah Jones was in it.

My Blueberry Nights gets 95 stars.

The were a number of issues with Trouble with the Curve. The ending was just one of them. Still, I'm a sucker for Amy Adams.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Get Carter also deserves some love for worst movie

The Stallone version, I assume, not the Michael Caine one.

 

[BoatShow]

Dark Shadows
Grandma's Boy

Actually Michael Caine was in both Get Carter's (1971 and 2000). The Stallone one was awful I never saw the old one

 

[UCONNfan1]

Any epic type movie with Kevin Costner (possibly the worst actor on the planet except for...the next guy in my list)
Any movie not named The Matrix 1 with Keanu Reaves
Any movie Gwynnith Paltrow tries to do a British accent

Howard the Duck. Yeah, I have always loved Sci Fi, but it was horrible in every way imaginable. Not sure if that was worse than Gigli tho, a movie my girlfriend at the time made me sit through. I dumped her because of it. Just awful. And she thought it was great.

I actually thought the "Ted" was hilarious but maybe since I had such low expectations going in to watching it. Maybe not a great movie but definitely entertaining enough to sit through it with all the stupid humor.

Battleship Earth, Howard the Duck, but for the worst I'll go with Congo. I don't know what was worst, Tim Curry as the villain with the terrible Romanian accent (reminded me of a bad Dracula impersonation) or the talking gorilla, Amy, who seaks with a voice box and is annoying as hell. The movie was just do unbelievable to take. It's the 2nd time I ever left the movie theater. The other was a comedy called 'Short Time' starring Dabney Coleman about a cop who finds out during a physical that he's dying (that's a great basis for a comedy to start....). He goes about recklessly trying to get killed on the job for some reason but fails. All I kept thinking was, if a routine physical said you were going to die, wouldn't you get a second opinion before trying to off yourself??

Human Centipede....

 

[Rico444]

Nick of Time with Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken. Also, 88 Minutes with Al Pacino. Plot was not quite as bad as Nick of Time, but Pacino put out one of the most awful acting performances you'll ever see. Watching The Godfather a thousand times won't be enough to block out how bad he was.

Human Centipede....

Heard about the basic concept - decided I would never ever watch it.

I have never watched it either. I honestly just wanted to see if anyone actually did. Haha.

Booty Call

Booty Call

Nothing with the word 'booty' in it can be bad.

I saw it. I had an ex who was big into horror movies, so I got to see every crappy piece of torture that came out in the second half of the 00's. The Saw series (first one was actually pretty good - the ending was awesome), Hostel, Hostel II, Hills Have Eyes, House of Wax, Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, etc. And it was her fault I saw Wicker Man, which was probably why it ended. Human Centipede was just same old formula - crazy dude tortures people - just with a new form of torture. Best part of the movie was the guy in the theater who shouted "let's connect on LinkedIn". Guess you had to be there.

The one time I got to pick a movie, we went to Madagascar. Still one of my favorite movies ever, because other than a cartoon lion biting a cartoon zebra in the ass, nobody tortured anyone. It was Citizen Kane of Shawshank in comparison to the movies I saw around it.

Unfortunately, I thought so too and that's how I ended up seeing it.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Thanks for the laugh. I was beginning high school when most of those movies which you listed came out. So I ended up seeing some of them because it was a good excuse to get a girl to cuddle up next to me...I didn't have any game...still don't.

I saw House of Wax, Hills Have Eyes, and Texas Chainsaw. I saw bits and pieces of Saw also. The people who write those movies must be extremely disturbed. I laughed in most of them. I tend to laugh at the ridiculous gore in horror films. It's the only reaction that makes sense to me other than not watching it.

I knew I would have to answer about Groundhog Day in which Bill Murray's genius was able to overcome the McDowell factor. But if anyone has seen Laura Linney in "Bug", the single biggest piece of crap disguised as a movie of all time, they too would question her taste and intelligence for even accepting that awful role! I am the first to admit I have missed many of the movies these three were in simply because I refused to go see them because they were in them! BTW my wife loves Sandra Bullock and Andi McDowell and their movies but somewhat shares my distaste for Laura Linney. Thank heavens I have a daughter I can send chick-flicking with her!!!

Even though it was a bit part, McDowell was also in St Elmo's Fire which, to me, is a classic.

 

[jbdphi]

Haven't seen it mentioned yet but the only movie I ever walked out of was War of the Roses. As soon as she served the dog for dinner, I said that was enough for me and I caught the last part of Born on the 4th of July.

 

[scrappy2.0]

Worst movie all time

Ishtar
there are others obviously but this took the cake imho.

Best film of all time hmmmm very speculative

Wizard of OZ
Some of the older Star War movies
Godfather 1 or 2
I also liked the original Wall Street movie
many solid runner ups best comedy??? Almost any film with Bill MUrray in it I also really loved Trading Places--I probably saw that 50 times

 

[Migs]

Lord of the rings
Pleasantville
Freddy got Fingered (Tom Green as the main character says it all, dumbest movie ever)
Grown ups
the third Harold and Kumar
The Dictator

Thank god someone mentioned Freddy got Fingered. Every insult noted in every other post about plots, acting, directing and so on applies. I can see Tom Green thought it would be his Ace Ventura, turned out to be his Varsity Blues.

I'll add First Knight with Richard Gere. Don't remember much about it because I'm out cold in the back of the theatre and I'm asked to leave because of snoring. It's like sitting in a hotel room at night during a power outage with a woman on her period. Leaves you bored and frustrated.

Dark Shadows
Grandma's Boy

Those movies are both hilarious. One intentionally so; the other, not so much.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I hated, hated, hated Babel -- ridiculously over-dramatic and heavy-handedly political.

War of the Worlds was nonsensical and I didn't care about anyone. The Time Machine is in a similar category.

I was reading these waiting to come across Congo. It still the only movie where I've walked out of the theatre

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Napoleon Dynamite. Saw it on TV, still not sure how anyone ever thought that movie was watchable, much less good.
