Worst. Movies. Ever.

By wiredog (Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 10:59:22 AM EST) (all tags)

Which movies are so bad you would warn people away from them? So bad that, after having paid good money to see them, you walk out of the theater? So bad that, after having left the theater, you consider arson?

Which are the worst ever?

Update [2008-6-5 14:37:27 by wiredog]: As a counterpoint: gzt's Movies I've seen recently that were pretty all right, all things considered

Now the problem with trying to come up with a list of bad movies is that truly bad movies are campy, and thus entertaining, if only in the MST3K sense. So a certain mediocrity is needed.

Any list of this sort almost inevitably devolves into choosing "overrated and I didn't like it becasue of X" movies rather than the ones that will truly make you feel like two hours of your life were utterly and completely wasted.

All sequels should obviously be exempted from this list, since they are almost all terrible and thus are too easy. With the exception noted below.

To be really awful a movie has to be something you expected to be decent, because of the director, the actors, or maybe a book it was based on. Or maybe because it's a sequel to a really good movie.

If it's a sequel it has to have been so bad it ruined the original. Think "Matrix Reloaded" rather than "Superman III".

Worst movies... by ObviousTroll (4.00 / 1) #1 Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 11:04:35 AM EST

"The Conversation" with Gene Hackman. Won all sorts of awards, apparently, but I couldn't watch more than the first 15 minutes or so before I gave it up and turned it off.

We were bored, wound up at the theater, and we had seen everything else interesting. It was so horrible I don't even want to write about all the things wrong with the movie.

Why did Val Kilmer need a dublin accent to play a greek? What was with the purple bits in the elephant fight scene? Angelina Jolie cannot be Colin Farrell's ma, surely? Why did it go on for so long? Why did I not care about any of the characters enough to like or dislike them?

I agree SO HARD. See my comment in reply to clock below, this is another film my roommate rented. I think I even watched most of it because after about an hour I thought, "Well, this is pretty crappy, but it has to be ending soon, right?" But it just kept going. And going. After that I resolved to just walk away when things turn south because I never know when it really still has 1.5 hours left...
I cared enough about the characters that I wanted them all to be executed for being in such a wretched film.

Titanic. My ex-boyfriend forced me to watch it. While he sobbed uncontrollably, I wandered off into the kitchen to find a knife to utterly and completely destroy the videocassette. Ugh. Just thinking about that movie makes me feel a little violent.

I finally saw it by ni (4.00 / 3) #27 Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 01:03:10 PM EST

when it was shown in my Junior High class, by the school. This horror was only compensated for by the incredible ineptness of the school officials: When the time came for the infamous breast scene, they let it play through unaltered, and then (presumably fearing the dreadful impact a breast could have on young) rewound it so that they could fast forward over that scene.

The moment says more than anything I could about the sorts of people who end up being school administrators.

That happened in my "non-denominational Christian" private school when I was in the 9th grade, only with the bare ass of Romeo in the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet. My teacher wasn't paying attention, and let the scene play through, then freaked when people in the class started snickering, rewound and fast-forwarded through the scene, plus part of the next.

It got decent reviews by jayhawk88 (4.00 / 1) #8 Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 11:23:48 AM EST

But I thought The Thin Red Line sucked. Just seemed way to confused as to whether it wanted to be a gritty war drama or The Shawshank Redemption. None of the characters really stood out in any meaningful way; it's a telling sign when the one memory of the movie you have is Woody Harrelson getting shot in the ass.

Aliens v. Predators was horrible, but is almost in the "so bad it's good" area. I think I might have written a diary about that in fact way back when. A movie so predictable you felt like you had written the script yourself.

Highlander II The Quickening

I think this movie was SO fricking bad that it actually ruined the original. It made me puke into my mouth a little.

Battlefield Earth

Say what you want about the crazy that is L. Ron Hubbard, but the book was excellent. A great read. 800 page paperback. It was almost inevitable that the movie version would suck total balls, regardless of the participation of John "Crazy Scientologist" Travolta.

From the "How to Wreck Asimov's Legacy in 120 Minutes" Category we have I, Robot. This movie had almost NOTHING to do with the original "The Caves of Steel" or any other R. Daneel Olivaw story. Thousand of people who never read Asimov will now NEVER read Asimov due to this turd. Stupid anti-robot paranoia movie.

This historically inaccurate and fluffed up piece of crap infected movie theaters for untold months like a stubborn case of gonnrea. I know it made untold millions of dollars, but what a fucking joke. If you want a sad love story, watch "Ghost" or "City of Angles." Or anything but this bloated warthog of a movie. Boat sinks indeed.

That's all I got for now, I imagine that there are TONS more.

God abandoned Highlander 2... by atreides (4.00 / 1) #25 Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 12:16:06 PM EST

I wouldn't even refer to it directly until the "renegade director's cut" came out, making them all from Atlantis instead of the place that shall not be named. Then it was merely abysmal but could be referenced directly.

I remember the night it opened in the theater. My friends and I all went. It ended in tears. And when Lambert kissed Madsen, I announced that I wanted my money back and half the audience started applauding.

My friends and I watch bad movies by miker2 (2.00 / 0) #22 Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 12:03:56 PM EST

FOR FUN.

Our top flicks:

Gigli
The Animal
House of Wax

We still have to watch Crossroads, Cool as Ice, and Shazam.

My vote for worst ever is Gigli. It was a truly horrible movie whose only redeeming value is an unintentionally funny retard.

I don't know about "worst ever", by yicky yacky (4.00 / 1) #23 Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 12:08:26 PM EST

but I thought 'The Fifth Element' was pretty bloody awful; such an uninspired hodge-podge of off-the-shelf ideas that even Mila's face couldn't save it. "Director Luc Besson had come up with the story for The Fifth Element when he was 16". Makes sense. It was made worse for me by the fact that quite a few friends of mine adored it, and I just couldn't see what they were taking from it.

TF's also right about 'Titanic', although there was a certain amount of psychological compensation for watching that, which I'll go into another time.

'Open Water' was pretty shockingly poor, too, but I've mentioned that before.

The concept was interesting, but the execution was horrible!

The cuts between the three story lines had no context that I could find. The Spanish storyline needed to be fleshed out more, and needed a little more exposition. I felt like the whole thing needed like one more sequence to tie things together. Just my thoughts.

He rents movies through blockbuster and he picks them based on what blockbuster recommends and whether he's seen it before. Recipe for disaster. So he ends up picking up crap like "Spider-Man 3" and "Mothman Prophecies". I watched some of "Spider-Man 3" when he rented it over the weekend and found it mildly amusing at points because I only saw five-minute snippets which I don't think are so life-threatening out of context, but it was pretty craptacular and I couldn't imagine sitting through the entire thing even out of curiosity.

Really, we should have an intervention for him. "Here's how to pick movies that don't blow...".

Do people ever watch movies for fun? by nightflameblue (4.00 / 1) #42 Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 04:11:14 PM EST

It's pretty rare to see praise for any movie. A daily occurrence to see someone, somewhere, call for a "worst movies evar" list. And most entries on most people's "worst evar" lists are movies that I either like or love.

But I'm with clock on Brokeback if I must mention a horrible movie. And this is not just overratedness talking. We sat through the entire thing in one of those, "there must be some redeeming scene at the end or something" and found nothing, nothing, rape, nothing, another rape, nothing, nothing, nothing, self loathing, nothing nothing and nothing.

I know nobody was supposed to ever say anything bad about it because it was about a gay couple at a troubling time, but, you know, as a story, it sucked. Doesn't matter if it had been gay, straight, alien-on-cow or whatever, it sucked.

You do have a point by gzt (2.00 / 0) #46 Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 04:24:44 PM EST

It's just so easy to be a critic, you just have to whine about something, but admitting to liking something opens you up to criticism. Perhaps next week, when we're done discussing the movies that made us physically ill because they were so crappy (like Alexander, in my case), we should have a diary where we comment on movies we have seen lately that are, all things considered, pretty all right.

The third was the best of the bunch. by nightflameblue (2.00 / 0) #60 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 07:41:57 AM EST

But then again, I'm not one of those people who A) assume IV-VI are the bestest films of all time just because I was young enough to get wrapped up in what was good about them or B) assume that I-III was horrible just because I was older and more cynical. I guess I'm pretty good at going into a movie with low enough expectations to not be hurt when I don't leave the theater feeling like I've had the most awesome sexual experience ever. They struck me as almost as good as the originals, though I must admit two drags a touch.

That's not a great recommendation... by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #61 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 09:37:58 AM EST

The third was the best. Well, maybe (I never saw "Send In The Clones"), but it could hardly have been worse than Phantom Menace.

That said, if you've seen the "Phantom Edit" where JarJar is redubbed in a non-racist voice, the character actually works.

How a fictional race is a racists stereotype is one of those arguments that just cements in my brain I'm talking to somebody so lost in fanboisms they wouldn't be able to enjoy it anyway.

But, since we're supposed to be talking about the worst movies ever, I don't think the Star Wars prequels qualify. They weren't the greatest of all time, but they hardly hit Superbad levels of suck.
