Worst Movies Ever

[Ragamuffin_artist]

This might already be a thread, but I can't be bothered to look for it.

For me, it's definitely Magnolia. Yeah, I realize it has a massive following, but for me, it will always be the never-ending movie that lacks a plot.

One that instantly comes to mind for me would have to be 'The Shining'.
In comparison to the book, which i read before watching the film and enjoyed it very much, the film is just awful. It was such a disappointment. I do realise that film adaptations of books are often slightly disappointing in comparison, and often have to miss out parts in order to fit it all in, but this one is just ridiculous. If I hadn't read the book first I would've had no idea what was going on. It is not accurate to the book at all. Im not going to go into detail, but to sum up, I think this is a terrible, terrible film.

I recently watched 'Dreamcatcher'. I expected it to be quite good considering it had Morgan Freeman and Damian Lewis in it and was adapted from a Stephen King book. It was TERRIBLE!!! It looked promising in the first maybe 10 minutes but when downhill quickly. The only reason l didn't turn off was my belief that at some point it had to get better.. it didn't happen. I cringed through most of it.

"Body of Evidence" was fairly bad. But the worst film I've seen relatively recently was "Killing Me Softly" with Joseph Fiennes and Heather Graham. Crikey, it stank.

Bill and Ted beat the Grim Reaper at Twister

Bill: "You played very well, Death, especially with your totally heavy Death robes."

Death: "Don't patronise me."

[Satine]

Intolerable Cruelty. I had heard such good things about it and was bitterly disappointed. The best part of the film was the trailer for Return of the King that they showed before it!

[Mehmsy]

Reservoir Dogs.

Yeah, I said it. Tarantino's worst moment.

Magnlia has to be one of the best movies ever made. It took me two viewings to realise this.

Kill Bill 1 and 2 and Jackie Brown are all worse than Dogs.

As for the worst film ever, its a toss up between Demolition University, In Dreams or Cube Zero.

the two worst movies i have ever seen- movies so bad that they didn't even have the redeeming feature of being so bad that they create a sort of horrified fascination- were the third matrix movie and the whole ten yards. Both are sequels.

These are movies that were so very boring that even though I paid only a dollar to see them and was doing something else while watching them (playing a game on the computer, etc), I felt so angry that the movie studios had stolen two hours of my life with that crap. I felt they should have paid me for watching it.

Oh, and these were both movies that I knew hadn't got the best reviews. So before watching the matrix movie, I read the most brutal, worse reviews on Rottentomatoes, figuring that if I lowered my expectations enough, it wouldn't annoy me, because I wouldn't be hoping for something great. Didn't work. if anything, I thought the reviewers had been too kind.

[Little Miss Giggles]

For me, it has to be 'Elizabethtown'. I spent the whole film wondering what the point of it was, and the storyline, only to discover as the credits rolled, that there was no point and no storyline. Truly awful.

[Altheia]

Nothing will ever beat "Freddy Got Fingered" for sheer badness. A friend of mine wanted to see it for her birthday (she's no longer my friend, incidentally) and dragged a bunch of us along to see it. I spent the entire movie wishing I had a grapefruit spoon with which to dig my eyes out so I wouldn't have to watch it. Damn you, Tom Green.

[Jen the Phantom Hobbit of]

Thunderbirds the Movie. It was so painful I couldn't even watch it all. Way to butcher a fantastic TV show ...

The voices in my head tell me I'm not insane ... but everyone else does.

[Malcolm]

The Pierce Brosnan version of The Thomas Crown Affair. Seriously, that's the only time in my life I've ever contemplated changing TV channel during a film.

Crap acting, terrible script, dreadfully predictable and lame clichés, predictable plot (you never ever had to seriously think about what happened next - they might as well subtitle it saying "And now Thomas Crown will jump out of the window and not get caught!" and it wouldn't have changed how obvious it was), formulaic (arrogant Brosnan playing an arrogant character who gets away with everything, as always), and just plain dull.

Just goes to show, if you throw money at a film, and go to all sorts of exotic locations, it doesn't always work.

I was actually angry after seeing it. Angry with the world for letting it exist.

It was horrible. Absolutely dire. I can't even describe why it was bad.

The slowness and bad effects caused pain throughout my body.

Have to agree with you tarantino is in fact overrated, kill bill 1 and two were basically brainless revenge films with predictability seeping from its celuloid pores, as for res dogss, that too is overrated, however jackie Brown is just fantastic from the soundtrack to the story , true romance and natural born killers too are fantastic and off course Pulp Fiction which is his best, although he co wrote with Roger Avery but Tarantino stole the spotlight

[Rufus]

Toss up between Dune and Shallow Hal.

[Kelly]

I'd have to say it's a toss up between Young Warlocks, which seemed to be an excuse for the director to film barechested teenage boys, and Shrunken Heads - I was expecting it to be bad but seriously...

[KateBush]

most films these days are terrible. Anything involving Steve Martin turns my stomach- he is just NOT FUNNY.
