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

[joober jones]

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

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

I saw it. I had an ex who was big into horror movies, so I got to see every crappy piece of torture smut 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.

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.

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.

 

[uconndennis]

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??

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.

 

[Husky25]

The Postman is a movie that I will watch just to be entertained by its awfulness.

But the awfulness is not entertaining. It's supposed to be a post war drama, but all the characters over act or can't act (Tom Petty) and are melodramatic. There is also painfully little unintentional comedy, which is what a movie like that should be all about.

Best terrible movies that are saved by unintentional comedy? Almost anything with Keanu Reeves (except the terrible Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, but including the Paula Abdul video for Rush, Rush), Patrick Swayze (R.I.P, Dalton), and Nicolas Cage (though I liked Justin Bartha's character in National Treasure) are partially redeemable dumpster fires.

"Freddy Got Fingered" gets my vote for worst movie title ever. It just put all kinds of horrible images in my mind that I'd rather not be there.

 

[UCweCONN]

Good point.. minus office space

And Horrible Bosses. She was good in that as was everyone else. I love that movie and watch it whenvever it's on. I'm looking forward to the sequel but it will be hard to top the first one.

 

[RS9999X]

Most Marvel flicks. Electra, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, both Hulks, Wolverine I, Captain Ameria.

The actors are just horrible. Garner, Alba, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Affleck. The only thing worse is DC movies like The Green Lantern with Reynodls and Blake Lively.

Any flick from a Saturday Night Live alumni. OK. A couple are oK and Bill Murrays made a few decent ones. 90% are just plain bad. So bad Id rather watch soap operas.

Can't agree on the SNL claim - even for the more recent offerings - for every MacGruder, there is a Bridesmaids. Even weeding out the offerings of older SNL casts, from Murray to Chevy Chase, Belucci, Ackroyd to Eddie Murphy,who are in another category - they are movie stars who just happen to have broken in through SNL, there are more hits than misses.

 

[Onions]

Get Carter also deserves some love for worst movie

Only the remake. the original, which Michael Cain made in 1971, was great.

 

[Onions]

The worst major Hollywood movie of all time is an incredible piece of dreck called "Moment by Moment", made in 1978, starring John Travolta, right after he made Saturday Nite Fever and Lilly Tomlin, at the height of her popularity. It was directed by Tomlin's lover and partner, Jane Wagner, and totally ended her career, ended any possibility of Tomlin ever getting another romantic leading role, and helped shove Travolta into the obscurity that was only ended by Pulp Fiction. To experience that movie in a theater, as I did, is to know a type of psychic pain unrivaled by any other in a lifetime that started when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn. As a rental it loses it's impact, as you just get up and go to the kitchen or bathroom when the nausea gets too bad. It has to be not seen to be believed.

 

[pepband99]

I have to disagree on "eyes wide shut"

Weird movie? Yes
Slow developing? Sure

...but Nicole Kidman nekkid gets enough brownie points for me.

 

[high-post]

Good thread. I definitely immediately thought of Congo when I saw the thread subject. Good call for those who already mentioned it. A real turd, but definitely good for a laugh or two.

Other really bad movies that I could barely finish or didn't finish or just LMAO the whole time:
The Polar Express
Bicentennial Man...just so goshdarn bad. And weird.
Patch Adams
Inside Man
Tim (starring Mel Gibson, just IMDB it).
Wanted
