1. Has to be "Armageddon"
HAS ro be.

Not even the films of Ed Wood, Jr was as bad as that horrible, bloated piece of shit. Directed by supremely untalented schlock director Michael Bay

Michael Bay needs to be placed alongside Ed Wood as one of the worst directors in American cinema.

ago, everyone stood up at the end of the movie and said THAT SUCKED! The first time I had ever experienced a movie so bad.

121. Blair Witch was unique because it was the first
time the Internet played a significant role in marketing a movie.

Blair Witch 2 BLEW CHUNKS! I went with a friend at her insistence. After Blair Witch 2 was done she made me promise her not to give in should she ask to go see anything with the words Blair Witch in the title.

Why can't Hollywood be satisfied that Blair Witch was unique and leave the unique films alone?

156. I suppose it was only good if you were privy to the original marketing
I only saw it after it had become a big success. It was the first "horror" movie I had ever seen and I thought it was terrible.

155. I hope you guys have read the original Stephen King story, because it's
GREAT.

I'm kind of peeved that so many of his great stories have been made into crap movies, and I include "The Shining" in that list.

Of course, King himself is complicit in the mangling of many of these stories into their crappy movies.

13. Robot Monster - so bad it was good
This horror feature film from the 1950s has occasionally played on the Late Late Show. I think it was made for under $1000. The producer used what he had available to create the alien: an ape suit and a diving helmet on which he attached a TV antenna. The alien communicates with his leaders in outer space through what looks like an old mahogany TV-Stereo console from the Salvation Army. And there's bizarre almost Shakespearean dialogue that comes out of the monster's mouth like: "Yes! To be like the Hu-Man! To laugh, to feel, to want".

What's even more bizarre about the movie is the disconnect between the low budget cinematography and acting and the music, which is fantastically good. The score of the film was composed by a young Elmer Bernstein, who went on to do the music for such films as The Ten Commandments, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Great Escape, and The Magnificent Seven. The dialogue of the film is so bad, virtually throughout, that it's hilariously funny, although I don't suppose that's what the producer had in mind. This film makes Plan Nine From Outer Space look like Orson Welles. It was even advertised to be "In Exciting 2-D".

19. Hot Dog - The Movie (1984)
Here is an exerpt of one of the glowing reviews -

This movie is about skin and skiing. People who like the latter and aren't offended by too much of the former (or vice versa) will find Hot Dog mildly amusing.

The story line is completely predictable and the characters are almost like cartoons. Trying to find a single sports movie cliche that Hot Dog doesn't use would probably make watching it more interesting.

The swinging side of skiing is given equal weight here with the sport. There is an incredible amount of female flesh displayed throughout, all of it very nimble and attractive. But the result is far from erotic. There's nothing kinky, sadistic or even really obscene about the nudity. But we just see too much of people we don't care enough about. It gets boring.

It's doubtful that the good skiing footage alone would make this movie worth seeing for skiing enthusiasts. As for the devotees of (very) softcore porn, they may find Hot Dog worthwhile. But I suspect a half hour of "Aerobicise" would probably do as much for them. However, if you like both skiing and skin, and don't care if a mindless plot occasionally intrudes, Hot Dog could be your movie.

It was at a premiere party for some films that we did some work on in Seattle. I had her quoting lines from the film and everything. She's a lesbian, and I couldn't bring her back over to the other side. Not even for a short while. :)

at the Seattle International Film Festival they have a program where three directors each make a short film in less than a week. She directed one and I worked on one of the other two.

So, at the premiere party I was sitting around BSing a few of the people that I worked with and she walked up to the bar right next to me to get a drink. So, I just turned around introduced myself and had a good conversation with her, for, maybe an hour or so. Hard to remember I was pretty tanked. Free alcohol can be an evil thing. :)

Even Stanley Kubrick could do failure.

With the exception of "Rain Man" where he was more or less a bystander, I can't think of a single Tom Cruise movie that was worth much.

34. Waterworld- and I had to pay to see it, not by choice though
My friend M and myself picked up our friend J for his birthday and told him we'd do whatever he wanted our treat. He wanted to see Waterworld, he had a big crush on Kevin Costner. So not only did I pay to see it but I paid for myself and part of my friend. I can't believe I gave that much money to that travesty of a movie. The movie was a ripoff(Mad Max), the acting was horrific(Costner) and it was waaaaaaaaay to freakin' long.

106. I feel the same way
I'm trying to remember what was the last top ten blockbuster movie I saw. I honestly can't remember. There hasn't even been one that I've wanted to see for a few years now.

Wait, I think I saw Minority Report. That was the last one.

I have an aversion to any movie that

1) Consists mostly of car chases and explosions and/or other special effects on steroids

2) Consists of a series of gross-out jokes and masturbatory fantasies that seem to have been written by a bunch of 12-15 year old boys who got into daddy's liquor cabinet or dope stash

3) Consists mostly of foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, dead-end lowlifes planning some stupid caper

4) Contains sappy animation

There go 90% of all Hollywood movies made in recent years. :-(

37. Pearl Harbor
I almost thought they were playing it for laughs, the dialogue was so hackneyed, and they used every WWII movie cliche' in the book. Ben was giving his usual wooden performance, and whichever Kate that was was trying WAY too hard to be June Allyson or Rita Hayworth. You know, that breathy hollywood diva voice.

Luckily, about 30 minutes in, the lights went out in the whole cineplex, so we got to leave. We had a voucher but never went back. It was really awful. Of course, I didn't see the actual attack scene, which looked from the trailers like it was going to be good.

Anyway, there are worse movies I'm sure, but with the budget, bigtime director, actors, etc. it's got NO excuse to be this bad.

46. I think people go wrong
when they compare and expect G-III to live up to the first two. On it's own, despite Sofia Coppola, its a good movie. Having the baggage of being a sequel to two of the best films ever made hurt this film more than anything in the film.

The helicopter massacre and Al Pacino's death scene were so bad that I laughed at them.

but I personally don't have a problem with the helicopter massacre.

What do you think of the first two Godfather films?

76. Godfather Movies
Godfather I was one of the greatest movies ever. The first part of Godfather II was as good as I. The second part of II wasn't quite as good as the rest, but it was strong.

41. "Signs"
Super-natch-er-al bullshit happening in a cornfield without the tug at the heartstrings like "Field of Dreams" had.

Gibson was starting to feel his "Inner Pope" with this one, too.

43. From 1970: "Myra Breckenridge"

The fact that I can dredge it up from that far back in time ought to tell you how bad it was.

How bad? Well, let me put it this way: it's the only movie I've ever been to where the people coming out of the earlier showing begged and pleaded with those of us about to go in and watch it, that we turn back, get our money refunded, and do something else with our time. Wish I'd taken their advice. Horrible, an embarrassment to all involved.....

44. 'Unforgiven' & 'Tess'
Edited on Sat Jul-23-05 09:39 AM by I Have A Dream
I found both of these movies so boring that I fell asleep in them. I was absolutely flabbergasted by the great reviews of 'Unforgiven', and the fact that it won the Academy Award for best picture blew me away. This is when I stopped believing in reviews (except for a few special reviewers that I trust). :boring:

Throughout 'Tess', I just kept thinking 'Will this never end?'. (That was between naps.) I was with other people, so I couldn't leave. I felt bad for sleeping, but I just couldn't keep awake.

Blech to both. :puke:

me also didn't like it at all either. However, what you're saying makes sense. I wish that I had been pulled into the movie more.

Thanks for your feedback and take on it. Maybe I should watch it again; maybe I'd "get" it on the second watch.

Oh, man... I saw that in the theatre with my mom, when I was about 12. I think there were three other people in the room.


And "If Lucy Fell"?! I never sawe it, but I have a tape of Simpsons reruns recorded around the time "Lucy" was being advertised. The trailer is remarkably terrible. I seem to remember being elated that it was a flop.

I heard a lot of good things about it, but when I tried to watch it, I just couldn't get into it. I gave up after about 30 minutes. (Maybe the later part was the best part.)

The young ladies just seemed so mean -- it was toxic to me.

Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 08:00 AM by Seabiscuit
She liked Lambert and she liked the title. Even she was more than a little disappointed. :)

The "druids" were all killed off in the beginning of the film.

The plot, if there was one, was so confused as to be completely undecipherable.

The war scenes were amateur repetitions of the same sequences, and made no sense whatsoever.

Lambert spent 95% of his appearance time staring off in a stupified trance.

And those WIGS!!!

It's pretty hard to believe someone else actually saw that movie all the way through.

88. Contact
It isn't a good sign when pretty much an entire movie theater (50-60 people) leaves doubled over laughing and the movie wasn't meant to be a comedy.

There was an episode of South Park where the teacher (Mr. Garrison) ends up in the hospital and the doctors try to induce vomiting for some reason with no success. They finally give up and say, "Forget it. You wanna go see a movie?" "Yeah, let's go see Contact". Mr. Garrison immediately starts throwing up. I almost did too from laughing so hard. (forgive me if I got the dialogue a little wrong, that episode was four or five years ago).

119. Monster A-Go Go
It makes " Manos The Hands of Fate " look like a masterpiece.

Most of the movie is incomprehensible, with some of the worst editing ever.

122. I hated the English Patient
Just like Elaine.

It wasn't the worst movie ever made, but it was SO boring. And when you consider all the acclaim it got, it has to make the list.

125. Charlie
Some London gangster flick, where London was awfully bright and sunny without resembling London. Lots of bad acting. It didn't even warrant fast forwarding. Who cares about the end. Being on holiday the past week, I gave myself a couple extra movie nights. I should have skipped one.

152. it's the greatest un-movie ever
Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 02:13 AM by Kire


The critics warn us that David Lynch’s new cinematic event, Mulholland Drive, is a film to be experienced. It’s brilliant, they say. Really.

Just give yourself to it. Don’t expect logic, just go for the experience.

So experience it. Accept its premises. And walk out wondering why so many people spent so much time, money, and talent to bring it to you.

What is it in your unconscious that keeps nagging you? Strange moments, discarded memories. Oh. My. . . . You shudder as you remember that painful descent into cultural limbo, the years you spent in graduate school . . .

And then you recognize that Lynch is indeed a genius. He’s pulled back the curtain to reveal places like Harvard as the gratuitous institutions they’ve become ever since graduating the Unabomber (and other like-minded lunatics) who can justify terrorism all too easily with the moral indifference of postmodernism. In attempting to push the envelope of cinema, Lynch discovered that he had to push an entire syllabus. And he’s pulled it off. He’s given us a narrative experience of graduate seminar LIT 300, "Introduction to Theory of Literature."

Edited on Sat Jul-23-05 09:27 PM by Rob H.
It stunk out loud, just god-awful. If anyone ever recommends it to you, save yourself the agony and hit your thumb with a hammer instead--it'd be less painful than actually watching the movie and the pain would be over sooner.


Edited to add that it threw in one of the most-often-used (abused?) movie clichés at the very end, too.

150. Exorcist 4. 80 min or so of your life you'll DEFINITELY want back.
The version they released in theaters anyway. I heard there was an initial version (?Paul Schrader?), that got canned by the studio after completion, then they totally remade the horrible version released, and I heard the DVD release has the original, canned, version available as an act of remorse I guess from the studio or distributor...

176. Grey Lady Down
an old submarine in distress movie in the late 70's.

I had a date in the theatre and (I served on subs) I kept seeing things go on that could never happen on a real sub, so I shouted out (when I could no longer stand it) "Bull Sh*t that can't happen"

Needless to say my date never went out with em again.

:silly:

Pia Zadora and Craig Sheffer starred. There is a really good music video at the very beginning of the movie with Pia Zadora and Jermaine Jackson singing a song called "When The Rain Begins To Fall". After that, the movie is the worst EVER made!

186. REALITY BITES!!!
Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 09:09 AM by youspeakmylanguage
The movie was so incredibly horrible and the characters were so pathetic and vapid that I was enraged leaving the theater. I vented to my friends for about a half-hour, annoying the hell out of all of them. If I remember correctly, the movie pissed me off so much that they didn't want me to even approach the theater manager to ask for a refund because I was yelling too much. I was 16 at the time.

This movie was anti-art - a pretentious black hole that sucked the life and happiness right out of me. It was also useful in that it demonstrated exactly the kind of young adult behavior that I did not want to emulate.

My roommate rented it one evening cause she was watching "Friends" and it was quoted as the "Sexiest movie ever" and she thought it would be funny if we all watched it. Well let me say this I want back those 2 hours so bad and it differently was not the sexiest movie ever.

I hate that movie with every fiber of my being. It is the only film I have ever said this about: It should be banned, burned, and forgotten. Everyone involved with it, even the make up people and such, should be exiled for life.

I even dislike the person who wanted me to watch it BECAUSE of this film. What utter vile, useless trash.

Got that? :)
