Worst movies ever

[nelsonmuntz]

We need some rules for this thread. For example, Twilight and it's offspring were truly terrible, but they were exactly what they were supposed to be.

Every Jaws after Jaws 2. Not that 2 was good either....

 

[TheDoggPound]

The Captive

This thread should be worst movies with a general release...plenty of worse ones than these...

My date made me walk out of Let It Be with the Beatles...only time that ever happened...although at Alien my girlfriend went to the candy stand for a half hour after I told her it was safe to open her eyes right before the little alien jumps out of John Hurt's stomach...

I did sit through an 5-hour Ingmar Bergman film once...Fanny and Alexander...that was a toughie...

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.

Hopefully that was the last date.

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.

Waterworld and The Postman were terrible. WTF Costner?

 

[ThetaZoo]

I vote "The Circle".

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!

 

[Waquoit]

Many of these nominees are slow-moving. To me, slow-moving doesn't automatically mean awful. Awful comes in all tempos.

You don't have to say you're sorry

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

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.

 

[intlzncster]

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.

 

[intlzncster]

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.

This. Is. Awesome!

The description makes it so good. Kim Jong-Il actually kidnapped the Director of the movie, and his wife, because he was a life long admirer. That's insane.

North Korea is the gift that keeps giving.
