OK, OK. You win. Some of these I disagree with ( GB2, Judge Dredd, Last Action Hero)
I'm not saying these weren't bad films, but Waterworld was worse.
I will admit defeat on Barb Wire and Spice World though.
Oh yes, and definitely Grease 2!

Ghostbusters 2 was good. Better than the first one IMO.

I think the worst is The Perfect Storm. Absolutely apalling.

I hated GB2, don't even see why there was a need for a sequal. Perfect Storm wasn't a classic but I managed to watch it all the way through without losing interest, which is more than can be said for the other films on my list.

....one of the worst has to be The Bodyguard......that was a right crock of s****

Hudson Hawk or Blues Brothers 2000.

My worst films:

eXistenZ
Blair Witch
Crash
A.I.

and I'd agree that Batman & Robin was pretty dire too...

clear and present danger
red dawn
true lies


officially I think the worlds worst publicly released film is "plan 9 from outer space" (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/plannine/)
http://www.badmovies.org/movies/plannine/plannine4.jpg

Almost any films based on the antics of pop stars and groups.
I'm old enough to remember Tommy Steele and Cliff Richard.
All of them feature a sequence with a double-decker bus or a roundabout in a park.
The Beatles films were equally awful.And so I hear were the Spice Girls.
Mind you I still love the Al Jolsen Story because that guy could really perform.There's a surreal bit in the film where Jolsen played
on-screen by Larry Parnes bumps into a bit-player who is actually Al Jolsen....maaaaammy!!

Lets be fair.... Spinal Tap is a top movie! Although not based on a real group.... it still may fall under that category!

This is true. I believe it's so bad, it has achieved cult status.

I think it's about some aliens who attempt to conquer the earth. They've failed on the first eight attempts, so they try yet again.

Pluto nash

Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (imdb) (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0185183/)


Totally unwatchable.

The worst ones i've seen:-
XXX- complete trash
Robocop 3- i still can't belive i watch all of it
Blair Witch Project- i real let down after all the hype about it

And i know a lot of people will disagree with me on this one,but i thought the first Lord Of The Rings film was garbage as well.I've never watched a film so full of characters i wanted to smack. "Mr frodo, mr frodo" grrrrrrrrr.

Ed Wood is probably the worst director of all-time, although several of his films have 'cult status' in NA.

'Plan 9' is very enjoyable (it's so bad that it's good), if you watch it with the 'right crowd', as well as his transvestite 'cult' movie: 'Glen or Glenda'.

My vote for the worst 'recent' movie is 'Terminator 3' - utter crap!

UHF (with weird al jancovich)
- although i ****** myself laughing the first time, round, i bought it 10 years later and cringed/got bored.

mm made me laugh, but it was a bit ham fisted in its gags on the catholic church, although at least it made some.

Alanis morisette doesn't appear until right at the end, and she only opens her mouth once, so that's ok.

And Ms Hayek's cameo was clearly crowbar-ed in so hard it hurt.

Good film making, in the sense that smith has copied the greats and innovated as well. Photgraphy was good too I thought.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, however, is certainly the pinnacle of Smith films, especially if you like bad language, coarse sexual references and never ending New Jersey Patois from Jason Mewes, plus lots of knowing cameos, the most implausible storyline ever and an orang-utan.

r.e dogma

i like the issues it covered about religion, race, kitsch, taste, (thumbs up jesus statue) etc, but it was so juvenile that the irony/jokes were lame. i know the main characters were teenage boys but bill and ted managed to be subversive and funny whilst appealing to people with different intellects andknowledge.

this was proper dumbed down humour. would have found it enlightening if i was about 12.

yes i agree the aesthetics were good - bar mr affleck and matt damon.

To be honest I hate most of the hollywood stuff nowadays.

The last one I saw was Planet of the Apes which I only went to to appease a friend who had organised the trip and noone wanted to go.

I sat through the whole thing which was completely dreadful.

I came home and started texting all my friends telling them to never ever see it cos it was so horrendous and I started getting texts back saying, "How can you talk about that at a time like this???"

I didn't have a clue what anyone was talking about and in the end one friend phoned and said, "Look, just turn the TV on".

Yup, it was September 11th 2001.

Other awful awful films were the ones my mum made us sit through as small children in an attempt to expose us to some kultcha, such as Gone with the Wind, and other dull and dreary epics.

i think hollywood has produced some fantastic films but then they do have the money and multi-platform backing to support their efforts.

Hiya

Not especially. I'm not a big fan of films in general for pretty much the same reasons I don't watch TV any more.

But yes sometimes I see films at the Showroom. I generally find them more interesting and less predictable, moralistic, heterosexist, showy etc. than Hollywood ones.

And I like seeing French films to keep up my other language.

But I rarely see films at all. I think the last one I saw was Planet of the Apes on Sept 11th 2001!!

Same here. I thought it was complete crap. Probably the only film Ive ever fallen asleep while watching in the cinema. 3 hours of garbage.

Dog Soldiers
Dumb and Dumberer
Final Destination 1 & 2
Blair Witch Project
Dogma

I know some have been mentioned before, yet are so bad I reckon they deserve a second mention:thumbsup:

My choices are....

Mario brothers with Bob Hoskins, enough said!
A walk to remember, got dragged out to that one with some plane tickets being held ransom for if I didn't go!!!:mad:
Mr nice guy, although I love Jackie Chan films this one was a nihgtmare.

I agree that the Lord Of The Rings trilogy was a load of overblown tosh.

I'd also like to add to the list of worst films:

Moulin Rouge (a film strictly for women and fans of Barbra Streisand)

plus:

almost everything by Nicolas Cage (Con Air especially) and Tom Green

It has to be and can only ever be "Plan 9 from Outer Space" directed by Ed Wood. Johnny Depp played him in Tim Burton's film "Ed Wood".
Plan 9' got voted the worst film ever made so it must be!!!, and yes i have seen it and it's laughable, anybody else seen it??

The film Ed Wood is fab and JD is fantastic in it.

Dreamcatcher...
Pretty damn good Stephen King book but absolutely shockingly crap film! It was soooooooo bad it was nearly good!
Even the lovely cast of Damien Lewis (MMmmmmmmmm) Jason Lee (MMMMmmmmmmmmmm) and the wonderful Morgan Freeman could not save it!

Spirit Stalion of the Simeron - I was forced to sit through the adventures of a cartoon horse by a friend who then balled her eys out at the end of it! (ps she is older than me! :loopy: )

Oh and Notting Hill!!!!!
Hugh Grant...... Yeuch (enough said) The only saving grace was Rhys Ifans!

Lord of the Rings 1.
Lord of the Rings 2.
Lord of the Rings 3.

Star Wars 1.
Star Wars 2.
Star Wars 4.
Star Wars 5.
Star Wars 6.

Oh, and "Cats and Dogs" ;)

Star Wars ROCKS!

I don't like LOTR either though, too "beardy"

I once saw Bo Derek's "Tarzan" at the ABC on Snig Hill. I didn't pay (long, dull story) - and I still felt ripped off! Horrendous film.

Nobody seems to have mentioned...

BOOGIE NIGHTS.... utter utter rubbish - I thought it would never end.

Also

Dogma,
oscar,
Charlies Angles,

gotta say i love grease 2 just for the pure comedy. kingpin is stupid its funny along with dumb and dumberer. yeh i have a weird sense of humour. i bet ud all love daft as a brush with jeff daniels...not!! me n my boyf thought it was hilarious, this might be due to bein under the influence tho i guess.

Boo :sad:
Everyone seems to be slating Dogma!
I liked it, in fact anything thats a bit controversial...or silly...or both gets my vote.
Chris Rock is excellent in is as is the ever lovely Alan Rickman and then theres Jay and Silent Bob... enuff said!

Thought of another film I absolutely loathe
ET

Gah horrible saccharine movie created just to make you weep like a baby...How many times did they feel the need to kill (or at least nearly kill) the ruddy thing...and it looked eerily like the Queen Mum (Gawd bless her)

My list (not in any order):

SimOne - Al Pacino should be ashamed!
xXx - Vin Diesel trying to be James Bond. I can't take him seriously.
Octane - No story. A film to 'get naughty on the back row' to.
The Perfect Storm - Bad script and way too corny.

Older films that my sister loved and I couldn't stand:

Hairspray *wince*
Earth Girls Are Easy *wince again*

If I think of any others I'll post more.

You know when they updated the film to make all the guns mobile phones, did they digitally edit out the bottle of jack daniels in Drew Barrymoore's hand too?

:D

Wilf

AI.

That Spielberg/Kubrick Monstrosity.
I was praying for a quick death all the way through. It dragged on sooooooooooooo much. I think the run time is about 3 weeks.

Hateful, hateful film. And that "I see dead people" kid really annoys me.

What are the worst film(s) you have ever seen?

Mine are:

1. The Royal Tennubuems (dont know how to spell it!)
2. Cabin Fever - watched on sat nite, worst ending ever!
3. Runaway Bride - awful and I looked forward to seeing it!

Cant think of anymore, but I will update my list I'm sure.

WM

The Birdcage with Robin Williams and Gene Hackman.

The entire cast just look as though they would rather be somewhere else all the way through.

The Doors by Oliver Stone (in fact anything by Oliver Stone)

Moulin Rouge (never trust a film with no dialogue)

Con Air with Nicolas Cage (In fact anything with Nicolas Cage)

Really Bad Things - which was a really bad thing and still the only movie I have ever walked out of!

Titanic - formulaic, nauseating hollywood tripe.

Daredevil - A thriller without thrills, excitement, character, plot or any of those other things it would be nice if films had.

Event Horizon - the only enjoyment I got from this hellraiser in space knock off was seeing hom many references to other films I could count in it.

Mission Impossible 2 - the first one was good - the follow up laughably awfull!

Bram Stokers Dracula - looked like the output of an over-ambitious and under-talented A-level film studies student.

Hanibal - gratuitous blood 'n guts horror with none of the tightness, suspense, characterisation, plot or well good film-ness of silence of the lambs!

Moulin Rouge - This is a film like I say I dont like but end up watching when I go to my sisters. I sit and watch it knowing Nicole Kidman is going to die, but still weep like a baby when she does! So does this mean I do like the film cos it obviously touches me. Or am I crying subconciously because my brain is telling me is a pile of crap? lol :loopy: :D

I LOVE Moulin Rouge (then again my taste is slightly suspect!) but that could be more to do with its general lushness and cinematography than the actual storyline which is maybe a a tad on the ermm weak side!

Originally posted by evildrneil

As my brother always says: "Moulin Rouge is a film for lasses and puffs"

He has a way with words.

well then i fit the description! lol

I forgot to add that he is a surly student, obsessed with Metallica and violent Play Station games, so his view may not be shared by all.

Dreamcatcher - So crap it was actually good, and it made me go out and the book which was much more superior. Film couldve handled the whole alien thing better than they did, it just came across as Dr Who silly rubber creatures and the ending didnt remotely follow the book at all!!!!

Only watched it for the lovely Damien Lewis and Jason Lee!
Now make a point of not watching films just because they have someone fit in them!

I inevitably still do tho :blush:

blade II

How can you fall in a vat of blood topless and come out with a full leather gear is beyond a joke.

AI !!!!?

That was a brilliant film ... ending was really sad (in a good way) though ...

I liked Dogma too - so much I have it on DVD somewhere! I also love Charlies Angels which has appeared in the hated lists here - just enough cheesy campness to work (i.e. too much!) - but then again I also love plan 9 so maybe you shouldnt take my opinions too seriously!

Like me, I've lost count the number of times I've seen Mask of Zorro, and I only watch it cos it features Catherine Zeta Jones in posh frocks, and in one seen half naked.

Yes, I fancy CZJ.... Have done since she was in Darling Buds of May.

My kids reckon some of the oldies are the worst - they find the old gangster and hard men films 'laughable' and the less said about the old Batman and Robin series the better - I'll just add,
thwaccckkkkkkk and powww as an example.

Threads merged.

The Bachelor, with Chris O'Donnell, was the biggest load of crap ive ever seen at the cinema, plenty of others im sure, but cant think of any right now...ill come back and add!! :)

1. Plunkett & McClean ( absolutely dire )
2. Dune ( fell asleep after 20 mins )
3. Dude, wheres my car. (i know i shouldn't really admit to watching this)
and what a disaster The Blair Witch Project was!!

Any Yank film where a car explodes in a front end impact, or a hand granade explodes in a ball of flame collapsing an entire house, or a car doing 30 or less in New York traffic skids for hundreds of feet sounding its horn then flips over on impact with a bin.

Basically any US action film.:loopy: :loopy: :loopy:

I think I saw it this afternoon.
I took my 7 year old daughter to see "Cat in the Hat". When it was over I asked her what she thought. She said "it was alright" in a offhand manner so I asked her what she really thought and she replied "it was rubbish". That was my opinion as well. Usual slushy, do-gooding, moralising twaddle put out by Hollywood.
Give me Roald Dahl any day :)

I saw the original version of ET when I was only 6, and cried at the bit where ET "dies", hey I was only a little 'un!

Worst film IMO was Star Wars Episode 1. well the film itself was OK but that kid who played Anakin was an annoying brat, and don't even get me started on how annoying Jar Jar Binks was :mad:

hmmmm the worst films i have ever seen have to be:
Dogma
Dude wheres my car
The Eye?! (Think thats what its called it was sooo bad ive forgotten, its like a big brother type film but everyone starts killing everyone off!)
Thats all i can think off right now xx

Independance Day. complete insult to anyone's intelligence, even those with very little.

I don't understand the slating of Dude, where's my car? Basically it does exactly what it says on the tin, its a couple of stoner dudes messing around and being generally confused by the world around them. Of course its not deep, its not incredibly witty, it is a silly film, yeah, but if you are in the right mood it is funny.

John Carpenter's Vampires
Escape from LA
Eyes Wide Shut
The Matrix

Battlefield Earth, need i say more?

Wilf

this is easy
BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE

AND THE SWARM

the blair witch project.
gave me a headache watching it!

Would have to agree Blair Witch was pants, but a special mention also to A.I.

What was that all about?

glitter

I saw that Spirit film, and was like WTF is this thing actually ABOUT?! I couldn't fathom the plot at all, other than that it had talking horses... :confused:

I quite enjoyed Spirit. I guess everyone's different.

P

Worst film i've EVER seen :

THE PLEDGE - jack nicholson

OH MY GOD its CRAP....

also a bit smelly :

MEMENTO - guy pearce
ONE NIGHT AT McCOOLS - matt dillon
VANILLA SKY - tom cruise

and so many more, i'd get bored mentioning them...

Having just seen its on Sci-Fi channel, worst film has to go to Invincible - truly awfull!

What about that heap of steaming bulls**t called 'Angel eyes' with J-Lo. It was on C4 last night and is possibly the biggest load of tripe ever.

Cruel Intentions

Moulin Rouge

Suspiria - and most films by Dario Argento

Daredevil

Pearl Harbor

Changing Lanes

Despite those last three i have nothing against affleck, and think he is quite a good actor. He does especially well in Kevin Smith films. I personally think Dogma is a very cleverly written film, with some good acting in it and even looks quite good (rare for a smith film)... what do people actually have against it?

I don't watch many films and not much telly for that matter, but having seen the advert for the new Thunderbirds film i can tell already that it as to be a contender, what a massive pile of money making dogsh*t.
How pathetic do they look in that lipstick, what a bunch of puppets, i mean muppets.

Recently watched (with my young son I hasten to add) The Haunted Mansion.. basically an extended advert for a ride at Disneyland I suspect. AWFUL.

About Schmitt - Jack Nicholson gets up, retires, talks a bit, goes to bed.. I completely missed the point with this film.

Dream Catcher / Wendigo / Moulin Rouge / Pitch Black... all films that Blockbuster owe me refunds on (trades description act)

Any film that includes Vin Diesel, Jean-Claude Van Damme or Steven Siegal.

Worst film I ever saw.. EVER.. had to be Pokermon the Movie LOL my son was engrossed but I thought I'd died and was witnessing purgatory.

Meet Joe Black - water torture
The Whole Nine Yards *shudder*
Titanic
Anything with Adam Sandler (except Punch-Drunk Love)
Anything with Jim Carrey (except 'Eternal Sunshine' and, at a push, 'The Truman Show')
Notting Hill
Love Actually
Apocalypse Now (ok, trying to be controversial now, but I found it dull)

and the biggie, the worst of the worst:

Big Jim McClain (1950s John Wayne gung-ho nonsense - see also 'The Green Berets')

Code of Silence starring Chuck Norris. If me dads mate hadn't given it me for nothing I'd be wanting my money back.

As one film critic infamously said (about another film mind), there is a difference between this movie and a bag of sh*te, unfortunately it's the bag.

During my 1st year at uni we sent one of my flat mates off to the video shop to choose a video for us all to watch that evening.

He returned sometime later with Mystery Men, a film that none of us had ever heard of so we gave it a go.

After 2 painfull hours I can safely say it is the worst film ever, it was torture trying to get through it to the end. We kept thinking "it must get better" but it never did.

:o Mystery Men was a FANTASTIC film!!!!! You obviously have no taste (or alternatively not the same taste as me - but no taste sounds better!)

I have to disagree with Daredevil being labelled as a bad film - I walked out of the cinema and immediately couldn't remember anything about it - it was as if I had been abducted by aliens and 2 hours stolen from my life - a film that grey and devoid of content doesnt even deserve to be called bad!

I watched Born Free couple of weeks ago. It's rubbish, yet strangely compelling. And I bubbled the whole way through it.

Anything with Charles Bronson in it. :cool:

Just coming off the back of what rudedude said about 'The English Patient'; I hate that movie with a passion.

I was staying with my folks over Easter last year with some friends and we all gathered round the telly to watch it. After initially being bored of it in the first 10 minutes, it then got really dull, and stayed that way for what seemed like forever.

Nobody was talking to me at the end of it all. It was awful!

Anybody else had similar bad movie experiences?

Dispite my Avatar it was 'Elmo in Grouchland'.........I'd have rather sat in a dentists' chair for 90 minutes than endure that movie again.....my kids weren't impressed either and I paid £15 of hard earned cash !! :help:

Problem is I forget the really rubbish ones but recently I remember being bored to tears by "The Machinist".

Too slow, too grey, too unchronological and quite frankly too dull. If you want to see a film about the terminal demise of a person (should you be inclined) see "21 Grams" instead.

On a positive note I've just preordered Sideways on DVD - that was a cracking film. Apparently George Clooney begged the Director to let him play Miles but he decided his public persona was too big for the part.

whats that one with eddie murphy as an estate agent? haunted house or something? pants

Daredevil was a turkey of the first order - it managed to be utterly unmemorable in every way without even the character to be bad!

Got to be a tie between The English Patient and Catwoman (my girlfriend made me take her to see the latter!) The third Matrix film also blew!

I cant remember what films i hated, that is because they are so bad I forget them immediatly!!!

My mate seems to remember a film about a gerkin that had been possessed by a demon! :loopy: :loopy: don't ask! I didn't!

I hated Catwoman too! It was appauling! All she did was come out with cheesy cat related one liners! Aaaarrrggghhhh!

I saw 'SAW' the other day and it scared the pants off me! It was a really good film but i couldn't watch it again, knowing what happens!

Was that gerkins name 'Scott Valentine'?

I realise I'm going to be in a tiny minority here, but...

Lord of the Rings.

I just don't get it. I've sat through the first two, somehow, and they are so, so utterly boooooring, long and humourless. "This happens then this happens then that happens". Yawn.

How can anyone care about characters who spout such stupid lines as "You are the master of Bag End now. And also, I fancy, you'll find a golden ring" without a smirk?

Still, Lord of the Rings is a masterpiece compared to Meet Joe Black (the Brad Pitt version).

That's funny my partner said exactly the same thing. Her interpretation of LOTR is that they all, "Walk around for a bit". BTW I don't hold the same opinion - I think they're great!

ps: She didn't understand Meet Joe Black either. Her kind of films (and the kind she subjects me to) are: 13 Going on 30, Maid in Manhattan, Sweet Home Alabama, Father of the Bride 1&2 etc etc etc... all much of a muchness really.

I was bored to tears by 'Man on the Moon' starring Jim Carrey. It is about Andy Kaufman and everyone I know raves about this film. I just did not get the appeal. It always sticks in my mind as a worst film contender.

In a moment of madness I dragged the missus to the cinema to watch "XXX - Triple X (or what ever the hell it is)" and I can honestly say that this wins the award of SV's worst damn film of all time. I would rather endure pile surgery than have to sit through that complete s***e again

Vin Diesel! You owe me £5.20 and two hours of my life!

Is it just me or is Vin diesel looking really camp lately? There's a new film with him starring where he looks like he belongs on the cover of a German gay porn film.

Seconded mate... Not a fan myself..

Now I will get shot down here as I appear to be the only one who finds Stars Wars boring and depressing :suspect:

Yep! Camp as a row of pink tents. I think he just knows who is fans are!

What particular German movie was that then?

Thank God I'm not alone on this. It wasn't any film in particular he just seems to be cultivating a look akin to many European "specialist" film actors.

What's really worrying is that when I was at the cinema the other week I walked past the poster for this film and instead of thinking "Oh God - Vin Diesel!" I actually thought "Holy S**t - German gay porn!"

Very concerning.

So... you are familiar with the genre? Mmmm, interesting.

I think he's just got that gay 'quality' about him, and he knows it!

Da league of extrodianary gentlemen its well rank

As a kid, I absolutely loved the Star Wars films. You should have seen the amount of figurines I owned!

But now I'm a grown-up, the whole Star Wars genre doesn't appeal quite as much. Empire Strikes Back is still a very, very good film but the rest... well, they're not much kop.

Having said that, I'm still looking forward to seeing how Annakin turns to the dark side in Episode III. It's an interesting reversal of the populist Hollywood norm of the happy-clappy, milk and cookies, neat-and-tidy ending.

I agree that the Star Wars franchise has lost a bit of it's appeal but I think that's more to do with the lackluster plot and characters in the first 2 movies.

The last one is meant to be riddled with 'I am your father' type revelations so it should make great viewing and may even make 1 + 2 seem better once we know what's going on!

Now if you want Space movies that are pants:

Armageddon
Chronicles of Riddick (Vin Deisel crops back up)
and
(non) Event Horizon

to name but a few...

'Love Actually'. What a pile of cobblers! Richard Curtis's 'Greatest Hists', seen it all before. Don't mind the genre usually - can appreciate Notting Hill etc for what they are - light, frothy entertainment, nothing wrong with that. But LA - just insulting!

Well said Greenback!........and I thought I was alone in being bored rigid with Lord of the Rings! Tedious beyond imagination. Loathed it all. I saw Part 1 twice (first with a friend, and then my partner insisted we saw it together), managed to skip seeing Part 2, but was whisked away to see Part 3. But oh lordy, it was worse then Part 1.

I watched a film about early pornography producers, it was paaaaaaaainfuly frustrating and i dont even know why! The rest of the group cudnt take thier eyes of the screen!(and no there was nothing nice there) I watched about 10 minutes of it and left feeling mad as hell :<

Chicken Run

Was just so poor in comparison to The Wrong Trousers et al. There was just none of the wit, and none of the dark humour, it was just totally saccharine and holywood-ised.

I would have walked out if I wasn't sat right in the middle of a row.

It's called 'The Pacifier' . . . .and yes, it's terrible. It's meant to be a comedy but it's about as funny as having a slice of bacon tied to your testicles and letting a hungry rottweiler loose on yourself.

The Passion of Christ. My Mum was horrified and I thought it was a comedy. We both went with different expectations!:o :D

Talking of crap movies - what about:

1. Plunkett & McClean
2. Supergirl
3. Escape from Las Vegas ( I think ) . . . it's the one with Kurt Russell.

Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut.. Lost the plot (not to mention the will to live) during both of them...

saw was pants. the acting was terrible

Without a shadow of a doubt, the worst film I have ever seen is a film called Dahmer. You would think it would be quite good given that it is based on a true story but I have never seen anything so godawful in my life.

I try and avoid bad movies if I possibly can, i've managed to steer clear of Daredevil and Catwoman etc so far, but I would have to say "Dude wheres my car" could be one of the worst i've seen.

And If I had to sit through "Pearl Harbour" again I think I would rather choke myself on popcorn!

Batman and Robin

I watched Vanilla Sky recently. It was soooo boring, but I thought I would sit it out to the end just incase it had a good finale. I bet watching paint dry would have been more exciting!

You must be joking - Me and my Fiancee left the cinema in tears after this film. It was very very moving and powerful (and I'm an Atheist)

A very good and unusual film. One of the best films of last year, in my opinion :)

The 2 worst I have seen recently were Open Water - soooo boring and Meet the Fockers - soooo predictable and unfunny :nono:

Mark me down as another non-fan of Star Wars! :help: I thought the original film was film-making by numbers, and the only reason worth watching it was for Han Solo! :D

But the worst-film candidates have to be among the efforts of Richard Curtis. This man is SO not funny. Watching "4 Weddings and a Funeral", I kept waiting for something interesting and/or funny to happen - but in vain.

The first 5-10 minutes of the film have to be among the most excruciatingly embarrassing (because they're so bad) moments in film - constant repetition of a naughty word for 10 (very long) minutes is a 'joke' that wears very thin very quickly.

The funeral speech was very moving and very well-done, but it wasn't enough to save the film.

Star Wars (any episode)

Blair witch 2, its the only film i have ever walked out of the cinema! :gag:

As usual Starsparkle, I find myself in total agreement with you. Curtis was also responsible for the abysmal 'Love Actually' - a formulaic, cliche ridden over-hyped piece of cynical commercial trash. Film making by numbers is also an excellent description of Star Wars, particularly the last episode which despite the hundreds of millions lavished on it, was dreadfully dul. l

I would have to say Leprechaun with Jennifer Aniston early in her 'acting' career. Good grief, tragic!
Event Horizon too, desperate for amusement between lectures one day at Uni.... eeeeek, bad news!

Event Horizon had a great first half and an appallingly poor second half, as seems to be the case with the vast majority of films in my opinion.

The exception being Sideways - it starts off very slowly and builds up momentum, turning into a great film. In the first part, I was thinking 'what a dull movie - by the end I was loving it.

The Time Machine (not the original!) was dire. It came recommended by a friend too:loopy:

I agree, it was an intriguing set-up spolied by a totally ludicrous ending.

Cube is similar. Really good premise, but it's as if the writers gave up trying to work out a suitably interesting conclusion, and instead handed over the reigns to the director of a daytime soap opera.

I thought event horizon was appalling - formulaic and uninspired hellraiser in space! At least I managed to sit (and snooze) through it - the only film I've ever actually walked out of in disgust was 'Very Bad Things'. Luckilly I was seeing it as a freebie - but I was still overcharged!

Was it not "showgirls"?

i love tom hank film's. but when i went to see castaway i just fell asleep half way threw it,this is got to be most boreing film ever.him suck on a beach on his own,ither not talking or him talking to just a ball, so i think this is got to be a top worst film for me,and also cable guy too.

The worst film i ever saw was probably Planet of the apes the ending was so stupid i had to watch the whole film and then it ended like that.

Cheers, your Lordship :thumbsup: As always, a man of class and taste.

A few weeks ago, I was at a very loose end one evening, I thought I'd give Curtis another chance. I made the mistake of trying to watch "Love, Actually". Oh dear.... a few minutes of the cringe-making, unfunny dialogue that that was almost physical in its embarrassment factor, and I had to change channels to save my sanity.

I find it incredible that Curtis was partly responsible for writing "Blackadder", one of the most brilliant and well-written comedy series ever. I can only conclude that Ben Elton was very busy :o :D

We must have seen a different film?! :confused:

"Event Horizon" is one of the most frightening films I have ever seen - it is truly terrifying, particularly the scene right at the end.

Psychological horror of the most exquisite subtlety.

City Of Angels (think that was the title) with Nicholas Cage. Realised then what a wooden actor he is.

Oh and Grease II - no comment needed really!

Please tell me you are talking about the Tim Burton remake.

The original was a classic with one of the best movie endings ever!!!

Reservoir Dogs & The Piano were both highly rated, but I thought they were highly dull.

By far the worst were Rocky Horror 2 & Exocist 2. It's what happens when you go to the cinema with a group of people who arn't interested in films and you vote democratically on what to see. This was years ago and I still feel the pain.

I too seem to have forgotten the titles of the really boring films - because they were sooooo boring. There was one with someone in a phone box all the way through that was pretty pointless. However, Donnie Darko has to be high on my list of "why did they bother" seen it twice - makes no sense at all!

I thought Saw was terrible, it was just a cheap version of Seven, and we had predicted the ending after just 10 minutes of film.

I also hate most things with Tom Hanks or Hugh Grant in.

I fell asleep before the end of both Spiderman movies.

I think the Matrix films are good for sepcial effects but acting/plot/meaning ? I don't think so.

StarSparkle, you have impeccible taste when it comes to loving the Manics (correct me if I'm wrong), but Event Horizon - noooo!

Mmost of my friends love it as well. Different strokes.

At the risk of sounding like a film student, if you want subtle psycholgical drama set in space then check out Tarkovsky's Solaris.

Interstate 84 had Kevin Spacey's name splashed all over the box, so I thought it would be OK. Wasted 2 hours for it to get going, but pretty much nothing happened. To make the whole non-event even worse, the things which weren't happening were really predictable... Some bloke stands on a bridge. Great.

Made the mistake of buying Gothika - pile of tosh.

I was so bored by Lost in Translation I switched it off. What was all the fuss about?

Greenback - if you are, as you appear to be, a fellow Manics enthusiast, then I congratulate you on your excellent musical taste! :thumbsup:

I confess to not having seen Tarkovsky's "Solaris", although I have watched the version starring George Clooney. I really wanted to like it but I'm sorry to say I found it very slow and my attention kept wandering. BUT I'm sure there IS a great film in there fighting to get out - I feel it would need at least 2 or 3 viewings to do it any sort of justice though.

I'm sure the original "Solaris" would be quite an experience, and I will be keeping a look-out for it.

Cheers,

StarSparkle :)
