Worst movies ever

I am willing to give bad movies that made no pretensions about being good a pass. The ones that I hate are the ones that take themselves seriously and still suck. The Master is one of those.

Maybe an "Overrated" category.

Grown Ups. I guess this wasn't horrible and it had some funny scenes, but it just seemed forced. Take a collection of funny guys and throw them together in a movie and it has to work, right?

Transformers movies. I tried to enjoy and they are entertaining to an extent. I usually just end up getting annoyed with the animation overload, watching cartoon robots endlessly battling each other as if one actually deserves to win a battle.

Grown Ups was Fellini compared to Grown Ups 2.

Love Story with Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw. MacGraw can't act but she's beautiful so I watched.

I've watched many the questionable movie or television show just for the eye candy. Sad!
 
Many of these nominees are slow-moving. To me, slow-moving doesn't automatically mean awful. Awful comes in all tempos.

You can pretty much include any Adam Sandler or Michael Bay movies in this thread.

Waterworld and The Postman were terrible. WTF Costner?

Maybe its the nostalgia of the memory of theater hopping the day I saw it, but I'll always have a soft spot for Waterworld. Not a great movie by any means, but I've never considered it awful and certainly watchable to this day.

I agree. While certainly not as bad as advertised,Waterworld is certainly watchable. It's main problem is that it is a movie with a split personality, deadly serious while trying to be kooky at the same time, a mix that confused a lot of people. It wanted to be a Mad Max movie, but missed. It also didn't help that the Costner character wasn't likable.

Batman and Robin, 1997, was terrible.

Battlefield Earth. I'd say Howard the Duck, but I like Lea Thompson too much.

Battlefield Earth was decent satire actually.

The original Blair Witch is no masterpiece by any stretch but as a period piece at the advent of the internet in the context of time of release it was an incredible event. I found the movie pretty frightening back in the day. Times and contexts change I guess.

What Blair Witch was, was the first real viral, guerrilla marketing film event. The movie itself was alright I guess, but it was really everything that led up to it which was the 'genius'.

People were freaked out walking IN to that movie.

I liked it. Mainly for the idea and the filming of that. And I was a big Mad Max fan as a yoot.

I liked it really. It needed better editing and was too long, but the concept was interesting and Coster was fine.

Agreed. The movie was a letdown. The idea that people thought it was real, and that they were able to sell that notion for many weeks, that was brilliant.

The remake of the John Ford classic "The Hurricane". The remake stared Timothy Bottoms and Mia Farrow, it gets my vote as number 1. Shot on location in the South Pacific, great director, and a great cast so you would think, right? Wrong!!! One of the truly great motion picture disasters of all time.
 
Have none of you, children??

I had to take my two boys to see a Pokemon movie (not sure which one - yea it was that bad). However a year or so later I ended up taking my daughter to see one of the Rugrat movies (again, no idea which one) and it was even worse.

I would have rather watched the eclipse without special glasses. My eyes would have probably felt better.

I look at movies like that as prime nap time - a little air conditioned slumber.

I actually did fall asleep with my daughter. Wouldn't dare do that with the boys...they'd be gone. :rolleyes:
 
Haven't read through the thread, but I am confident that I have the winner:

I saw a Rugrats movie with my son. It was physically painful.

Then again I remember my dad taking me to see "Bullwhip Griffin" so I figure it was payback.
