well duckman, gotta disagree with you there. Those movies may be dumb but they make me laugh.
More absolutely horrible movies that I would never see again:
Magnolia
Spider-Man (letdown of the year)
AI (awful, really awful)
Eyes Wide Shut
Just isn't a movie:
Austin Powers 1-3 (because they don't flow like a movie. Seem to be a bunch of seperate SNL sketches. I could still watch these though.)
more to come.
The absolute worst I have ever seen involved SNL people. I was forced to watch it by the people around me Since they were the newer cast members, I'm not sure who they were, but the movie involved two guys bouncing their heads to music. Best as I could tell, there was nothing else to the movie. :help:
And there wasn't even any bare Mel bum in The Patriot, was there?
I just don't see too many movies.
If I remember aright, there was a night Mike & I went out to a movie. We were younger and poorer & it was an even bigger rare treat back then than it is now. We hadn't had much time together, we were determined we'd have a date night and some actual face-to-face time if it killed us.
Was in Fast Times At Ridgemont High we saw? I think so. It stank a hugely gigantic stink. It writhed with stinkiness. That was one we should have walked out of.
It almost ruined the date. :sarcasim:
There was some ancient black & white film, used to see it on the Sunday morning horror classics a New Orleans station ran whe I was a child. It was about graverobbers. Some guy was browbeaten by his shrew of a wife into digging up Grandpa 'cause they accidentally buried him with the winning lottery ticket.
He turned into a (gasp - cue spooky organ music...) ghoul. His face was all beasti-fied. Made a big impression on me.
As for A Clockwork Orange, I saw it when I was too young to "get" all of it. Now, as an adult with children, I'd cheerfully murder most of the characters, just remembering the little I do about it.
Talulah, I have to disagree with you.
I know a few things for a fact:
1. Gotta pay taxes.
2. Gonna die someday.
3. Magnolia, worst movie ever.

I know a guy who worked on the shoot for this film. He was part of the crew that set-up the special lighting in Texas Stadium. He said, "The lighting was genius. It wrapped around the players like nothing I've ever seen."
The problem was, he went on to say, it was the most dangerous contraption he'd ever been around in his life. They were lucky nobody got seriously injured because there were several mishaps.
He also said Stone's a total headcase. I think I already knew that after watching NIXON. [/i]

12 Monkeys is one of my second-tier favorites. I've watched it many times. Dark. Demented. Hopeless. What's not to like?
Also liked JFK, even if it was total fiction (but then again, who knows?). I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I enjoy a good conspiracy theory. Now, Nixon was a bad, disappointing, movie.
I knew nothing of the thumbs... I saw it as a small child, badly cut for commercial TV, on the Sunday Morning Monster Movie, interrupted by my aunts' attempts to get me ready for Mass.
Milo & Otis. I will be back with more later.
Here they are in order of my loathing...
1. Titanic--needed 45 minutes worth of editting
2. Varsity Blues--didn't live up to its billing and needed more realism. Richard Linklatter owns the option rights to "Friday Night Lights" and can't get anybody put up the money so he can make it, but MTV put up money for this? It's a cruel world.
3. Pearl Harbor--Kate's character shouldn't have gotten pg. by Hartnet's character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't mess with Ben! I mean, I knew he wasn't dead... my date knew he wasn't dead... EVERYBODY [/i]knew he wasn't dead, and I think she should have, too! Plus, I think I've only liked one Bruckheimer film.
4. Rocky III-V--Too much, too much, too much.
5. Summer Catch--couldn't make up their mind if they wanted it to be "Bull Durham" or "Major League", the result was "Little League."
I'm sure I dashed some folks favorites here, but I'm sorry. I took a date to Titanic and she fell asleep for 45 minutes and I nudged her awake for the sinking part. As we were leaving, she said, "That was the greatest movie ever," and I said, "yeah, that's because you slept through 45 minutes of it" :0 True story.

Speaking of actors's work, I no longer can watch many movies with Tom Hanks. It seems that after Forrest Gump, that some of the character stuck in other movies. Such as in Forrest is a Death Row guard(The Green Mile), and Forrest gets stranded (Castaway).
I usually try not to watch anything with Nicholas Cage.

Why do people like this "JerryBrooke" waste their time watching these heathen movies. There are plenty of decent christian films like Left Behind ect. Why waste your time watching such filth, filling your mind with such filth. I gaurantee if you keep watching movies like these you will lose sight of the holy land like Jerry Brooke.

Janine,
The black & white movie with the grave robber who turned into a ghoul was "Sardonicus" In the original theatrical release you were given a card with a thumb drawn on it with ink that glowed in the dark. At the end everyone in the theater was invited to vote (thumb up or thumb down) for Sardoncius to live or die. It was very creepy for me when I was around nine years old!!!
I should probably stay away from this one, since I would begin by referring to a sacred cow movie concerning the Civil War, a plantation, a plucky heroine and a dashing man with a moustache. :lookaround:
The Master of Disguise... :frowning:
Manos: The Hands of Fate
excuse me .. I found a site with a review that says the actual title of the movie is: "Manos" The Hands of Fate
"Manos" The Hands of Fate
Manos: The Hands of Fate
Manos, The Hands of Fate
or if you translate it:
"Hands" The Hands of Fate (and so on...)
Anyway you type it, it is awful.

I've been trying to figure out what "AI" is, not having seen the movie or any previews. My first thought was Artificial Insemination and I wondered why anyone would want to see it. :0
Finally figured it out though - Artificial Intelligence.
Ok, so I'm slow . . .
I suppose if I nominate The Patriot someone will get mad, but I have to do it anyway. Talk about overkill! I was just waiting for them to start showing the British shooting kittens. :cry:

Rochelle,
I defense of my friend Jerry I want to say a few of things.
First, the only reason Left Behind[/i] did not make my top-10 list of worst all-time movies is because I think it is an insult to the art of film-making to even call that "thing" a movie. If I did consider it a "film", it would have made my list. Bad acting, bad story telling, shoddy-effects, etc., etc., etc. I have neither the time nor the desire to rehash all that I want to say, but it wasn't even good enough to be a CBS movie of the week. I guess your meaning of "decent" differs significantly from mine.
Second, for you it is a complete waste of time to watch these movies and I would support your choice as a Christian minister and as your brother in Christ. I wouldn't want anybody to do something the troubles their conscience.
Third, for you, watching certain movies would probably make you lose sight of God, but you cannot and should not try to impose your conscience on others. Please read I Cor 10:29 and the surrounding text.
With Love,
SoaPMan

Highlander II: The Quickening- Absolutely terrible. And I liked the first one.
Bicentennial Man - Robin Williams is a robot trying to be human. In the end he dies and you're supposed to be crushed, and all I'm thinking is "Who cares? It was just a robot?"
Any movie involving jail and innocent women which is shown on USA at 2:00 in the morning.
The following are movie storylines that should not be made because they have already been done right once and done wrong hundreds of times.
Mob kills cop's family
Nerd in love with cheerleader
Young geek getting karate lessons from the janitor
Ugly Duckling becoming sexy goddess overnight
Unstoppable robotic killer
Any current movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme, on the grounds that it'll just go directly to video anyway and Vin Diesel could have done it better.
I don't know, but I think that Ace Ventura movies would be real close to the top of that list.

For the most part, anything the has a Roman Numeral higher than I next to it, and in some cases those with the I (there are some exceptions to this rule, but very few).

3. David Spade
4. Adam Sandler (except for The Wedding Singer, and possibly Mr. Deeds)
5. Chris Farely
Anything about stupid teenagers running from crazed killers while showing excessive (can't spell gratuitous) amounts of flesh - this also includes any spoofs of said films.

I'm not sure who they were, but the movie involved two guys bouncing their heads to music. [/quote]
I remember the one you are talking about. I didn't see the movie (in fact, I haven't seen any of the recent SNL movies). But I did see the previews and that was enough. :doh:
Add this one:
ENOUGH starring Jennifer Lopez and Billy Campbell.
OK. I went to see this at the theatre, being a Billy Campbell fan. I've liked him since The Rocketeer. I liked him on Once & Again (except the writers could've made the character less wimpy) ... but anyway, he was the reason I wanted to see the movie. I even thought it might be fun to see him play a bad guy for a change. I'd already read that most critics thought it stunk. It didn't sound like all that good a movie to me either, but with me, usually if I like an actor, I can sit through a movie they're in at least once.
If I ever walked out of a movie within the first 15 or 20 minutes and asked for a refund, before that day, I can't remember when that was. But I could not stand to watch one more minute, not even for Billy. Some "fan" I am!
BTW, it wasn't just the subject matter of the movie that drove me out of the theater that day. It was just generally a lousy script IMO ... what I saw, I think the actors were doing the best they could with the material they had to work with.
Some things are too sacred to be criticized directly.
I must add a hearty amen to JerryBrooke's nomination of "AI." That was truly nasty. It started out as though it might be interesting, but went straight downhill. I think it was the point where the little robot boy was sitting at the bottom of the ocean, frozen, staring at the blue fairy whom he had been seeking all his life (she is also frozen), and then was rescued and unfrozen by aliens, that was the real low point. The sad thing was that it got such great reviews.
Recently, one of the movies I've really disliked was Punch-Drunk Love. I thought it was really bad, but I know a lot of people (again, including reviewers) really liked it. I don't know. I thought it was really bizarre.
I didn't see it but my husband has always said Me, Myself and Irene was a horrid one also.
Absolute worst movies I've seen....
Hmmmmm....
Let me see....
The Bare Witch Project :thumbup:
Deep Throat :thumbup:
Fritz The Cat :thumbup:
Oh stop! I'm just kidding. Don't be so sensitive. :doh: :lookaround: (p.s. I never saw any of them!)
JerryBrooke.....totally agree on Eyes Wide Shut...very bad. As for Clockwork Orange it was great from a cinematic viewpoint, but I couldn't take the "violence for fun" characters. I was glad I saw it once, but never wanted to see it again. The same was true for "Platoon" and "Saving Private Ryan". both too real to actually want to see a second time, while both being very well done films.
As for bad movies....have never seen a teen horror flick that was any good, IMHO.
Add "Leaving Las Vegas" to the list.
I liked "Fried Green Tomatoes"....towanda!!!
Fried Green Tomatoes and Magnolia.....Those were great movies. What is wrong with you people? ???
Here is my list:
Wayne's World
I know what you did last Summer and ALL movies like them. I am a little kitten when it comes to scarey movies
Austin Powers it make me laugh, but generally disgust me too.
A Civil Action (boring...etc)
The General's Daughter (it should be illegal to show such realistic sexual violence)
Ace Ventura
American Pie....does society really need movies like this? :angry:
imho, Fried Green Tomatoes was all right. Any southern movie involving cannibalism automatically earns at least three stars. Magnolia, I have mixed feelings about. A few good performances. The rain of frogs was interesting, but confusing. Couldn't stand Tom Cruise, but I felt the same way watching Days of Thunder and Top Gun. At least in this movie it was intended. Overall, a mixed bag.
As to the others mentioned, well, The General's Daugher was possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. I had previously purged it from my consciousness. I liked "A Civil Action", though.
On my thirtieth birthday, my co-workers decided to have one of those 'morning zoo'-type radio stations make a prank call to me.
Of course I came off like a complete and total moron. You know how they like to repeat the really embarassing calls? They replayed mine every half hour all morning.
And as my consolation 'prize' I got tickets to ... Stone Cold.
Complete humiliation on the half hour across Green Country and for what-- Brian Bosworth.
I liked the story the same way I like a lot of sci-fi/fantasy pieces.

Hmmmm,
Most later movies with Al Pacino, with the exception of "Heat" because i really like De Niro and the director, Michael Mann. Is it just me or did he take the character in Scent of a Woman and make it the mold for every other character. "Hoo-aah, I am just getting warmed up."
Speaking of later Al Pacino movies, did anyone see "Any Given Sunday". Oh my, this is a bad one. Oliver Stone is getting quite megalomaniacal. Al Pacino *see above*. My absolutely worst scene involved an eye that was dislodged from its owner during a football game.
"Cutthroat Island" - Geena Davis, Matthew Modine, Pirates, bad.
I can't remeber the name, but a movie with Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman set in a police department in the Carribean, "Interrogation" might be the title. Thought it would be a winner, but no thank you.
I also heartily agree with the AI sentiment here, terrible.

Sometimes the message transcends the messenger.
Kari - they might at least have humiliated you for a good movie/actor...
Just because I disagree with some theological bent doesn't mean I can't work up a little "suspension of disbelief" & enjoy the story.
I don't like every word in the Joshua books, and I'm sure I'll be irritated over changes they made in the movie. (If I ever manage to see the thing!) But ya gotta suspend the disbelief! Ya gotta stop grumbling in the back of your mind "Oh yeah?!?! Well what about Romans 8, hunh?!?!"
I have to "suspend my disbelief" every time I watch a story written from a worldly point of view, don't I?
