Worst Movies of all time

Bon Voyage · Sun Feb 09, 2003 - 08:36:43

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.

Bon Voyage · Thu Feb 20, 2003 - 15:33:14

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.

That one was bad.

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.

janine · Fri Mar 28, 2003 - 19:24:27

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.

Son of a Preacher Man · Sat Feb 08, 2003 - 23:39:10

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.

PS--as you can see, I haven't much better to do with my free time. :lookaround:

So you didn't see Billy Madison as a modern-day adaptation of Henry IV? :alien:

dgdodd · Sun Feb 09, 2003 - 18:39:37

Most movies made by Saturday Night Live cast members. For example:

Wayne's World (Mike Myers and Dana Carvey)
It's Pat (Julia Sweeney)
Austin Powers
Deuce Bigalow - American Gigilo (Rob Schneider)
Black Sheep (Chris Farley)
The Coneheads
Superstar (Molly Shannon)

Now there are a few execptions. The first, being The Blues Brothers . Other exceptions would be some of Chevy Chase's movies. :thumbup:

I am a major critic of Disney movies when they sabotage classic stories for children.

Beauty and the Beast and Pinnochio come to mind at the moment.

Actually, 2 different movies being referred to. :0

Clockwork Orange is one Kubrick movie I've never been able to sit through. The others that I've seen (which do not include the Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman one I can't think of the name of) tend to be on my best ever lists.

janine · Thu Feb 20, 2003 - 14:50:53

If only you & I could do a "Siskel & Ebert" review of all movies. You can be either Siskel or Ebert, whichever you like. (Yes, I know Mr. Siskel is dead. :( I just can't recall the new partner's name.)

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.

aw! i love it. it's hard to top a skeleton crawling along, brandishing a knife, and saying 'i'll cut out yer gizzard, heh,heh,heh'!
or when the rotted warriors rise from the ground, grab a honey, and proclaim 'we've got plans...for YOU...'
try it again, it's meant to be funny, not serious.
check out the march of the dead army, skeletons playing bagpipes, skull drums, ridiculous uniforms...
think i'll watch it again today.

I'm REALLY, REALLY[/i] not a fan of the story. I was trying to be kind by sticking to the "film" because I realize so many people are a fan of that "story". But--that's a whole 'nother thread in a whole different category, isn't it? :D

SisterBus is my doofus brother. He was being funny, at least he thinks.

I liked Left Behind 1 & 2.

Thu Mar 06, 2003 - 09:45:40

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!!!

marc · Sat Feb 08, 2003 - 21:53:49

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:

James Rondon · Sat Feb 08, 2003 - 23:55:29

The Master of Disguise... :frowning:

Barb1957 · Sun Feb 09, 2003 - 14:40:28

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.
Lee, we need a barf (or puke) smiley!

Bobby Valentine · Sun Feb 09, 2003 - 21:55:22

I hated:

Clockwork Orange
Ya Ya Sisterhood
Pulp Fiction (terrible movie -- I asked for my money back)
Batman movies -- I was so let down
The Sinbad movies
Fried Green Tomatoes
Tomb Raider
Scorpion King
Land Before Time 300 :frowning:
The Noah's Ark Mini-Series on NBC -- now that was plain stupid

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 . . .

marc · Tue Feb 11, 2003 - 01:38:20

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:

I know, I know - let me guess. Were you referring to "Gone With the Wind" and "The Patriot?"

Bon Voyage · Wed Feb 12, 2003 - 09:43:26

Marc. It was called Eyes Wide Shut. Absolutely horrible.

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

4. JFK

5. Love Story

6. And the Band Kept Playing

Thats about all I can think of now.
