I was listening to the morning show on plr this morning and they were talking about bad movies. So what is everyone\'s vote for worst movie ever? I\'d have to say one of the following:
Speed
The Cable Guy
The Wedding Date
That Aquamarine movie about the mermaid chick that is coming out Friday looks like a contender, too, but I\'m not planning on watching it to find out!
-
Hostel (Eli Roth, 2005): Atrocious follow-up to the equally as terrible Cabin Fever.
Look Back in Anger (Tony Richardson, 1958): The director of one of my favorite British films, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, forsakes me in a film I had to watch for my Modern British Cinema class.
The Doom Generation (Gregg Araki, 1995): It would have been first on the list if not for Rose McGowan\'s boobs (which BARELY makes up for it).
Just a few. I\'ll mention more as they creep out of the "repressed memories" section of my brain.
-
hmmmmm. i have seen a lot of bad movies
Maniquinn pretty much anything with Kim Catrel except Porkys.
Ernst goes to (fill in blank)
I cant think of anymore at the moment but theyll come to me
-
Turbulence - ray liota/halle berry=worst movie i\'ve ever seen
-
1. No Glove No Love video
2. Patch Adams
-
1. No Glove No Love video
Ha!!!
Drew good call on The Doom Generation.
Though how could you forget Manos: The Hands of Fate?
The Sadist starring Arch Hall Jr.
Sky Divers starring Coleman Francis, also another of his powerhouses Red Zone Cuba
Marky Mark and the Monkey Bunch, a.k.a. the remake of The Planet of the Apes
The Time Machine with Guy Pierce.
Slackers with Donna from That 70\'s show and the older Pete from Pete and Pete was pretty bad too.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
Okay that\'s enough, I\'m starting to convulse from thinking of all these scarring memories. Give me more time and more will come, though.
-
Sky Divers starring Coleman Francis, also another of his powerhouses Red Zone Cuba
Good thing they had all that jumping practice...
Oh, and you forgot Mitchell starring the irrepressible Joe Don Baker.
-
Slackers with Donna from That 70\'s show and the older Pete from Pete and Pete was pretty bad too.
are you ser??? Jason Schwartzman as \'Cool Ethan\'=one of the best characters ever in a movie!
"You are so awesome, your room is so awesome, your phone is kick-ass, and you know what? I love you."
-
The Cable Guy
calls the shenanigan police... 911!

-
i actually love the cable guy..it might not be an academy award winning movie, but i think it\'s funny as hell.
the blair witch project - LAME!!
the wedding planner (featuring j.lo) - i have no idea how i got sucked into seeing this movie, but it is nothing more than shit on a stick.
wild wild west - will smith movie, nuff said.
cool as ice - vanilla ice movie, nuff said.
-
breakfast at tiffany\'s was pretty horrible ;)
Well I guess I\'ll be the first to say my favorite bad movie was PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE
Earth girls are easy with Jim Carey was pretty bad/funny also.
-
breakfast at tiffany\'s was pretty horrible ;)
Shut up Paul! That is the best movie ever.
-
Anything with Jim Carey except that weird one with the chick with blue hair....
Anything with Will Smith, no exceptions.
Most disturbing movie I have seen recently: Maria Full of Grace.... holy hell that movie gave me nightmares.
-
Anything with Jim Carey except that weird one with the chick with blue hair....
Finally, someone else who hates Jim Carrey! Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was awesome, but I\'ve never liked any of his other movies, espeically The Mask, and I know I\'m gonna catch hell for this one because for some reason people love this movie, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Totally pointless and a waste of time.
-

I cant think of anymore at the moment but theyll come to me
not to be a gaf, but i love ernest movies. i hate (but secretly love) The Breaks, but all of the Blade movies are terrible. Pink Flamingoes is pretty awful, but deep down i think i love that one too
-
can\'t think of the name, but it\'s nicholas cage riding in a ambulence for 2 hours....bringing out the dead maybe??
-
not to be a gaf, but i love ernest movies.
same..i think those movies are classics, esp ernest scared stupid and ernest goes to jail.
-
Ernest Goes to Camp proudly graces my DVD collection.
-
come on, Cable Guy, Ace Ventura 1, the one where hes a vampire, dumb & dumber...????
as for the list, ill add Clash of the Titans, Biker Boyz (i think thats the name of it with Ice Cube), Fast & Furious, XXX 1 & 2...
-
I liked the Cable guy and I even sae Clash of the Titans in the theatre.... One of the worst movies I know is Anchorman w/ Will Ferrel... He has never been the same after this movie. Another case of jumping the shark....
Bean
-
Whats the movie where the electronics, cars, and trucks come to life and hair dryers kill people. That one was so bad it was funny, or ummm Convoy.
-
anything with hugh grant.
mr. & mrs. smith sucked too, although i slept through most of the middle of the movie.
-
All Nicholas Cage movies get my vote.
-
Adaptation. is prolly one of the best films ever made!
Man on the Moon w/Jim Carrey is also great
worst movies = Star Wars Episode 1,2,3
mr and mrs. smith is hot! you dont dig hitchcock?
-
i\'m talkin the angelina jolie/brad pitt version.
baby geniuses sucked.
-
Whats the movie where the electronics, cars, and trucks come to life and hair dryers kill people. That one was so bad it was funny, or ummm Convoy.
Maximum Overdrive is the one i think yer talking about. Heres some that i know suck but i still like, mostly to make fun of.
Sleepaway Camp
Jeepers Creepers(1 only)
Ninth Gate
Tremors(the whole series, yeh even 4)
-
Adaptation was weak. I can\'t stand most of those stupid psychological thriller movies, so predictable, and pretty much all are the same.
-
^^^ they made a Tremors 4?
i can\'t think of any bad movies, i try to block them out
-
Man on the Moon w/Jim Carrey is also great
I have heard good things about that one but haven\'t seen it yet. He\'s certainly a better actor when he does a serious role, I just hate him in comedies! I remember someone told me once they thought Jim Carrey was a better comedic actor than Adam Sandler. No way!!!
-
11. 2 Days in the Valley: a pauper\'s Pulp Fiction.
10. Remember the Titans: any movie with an \'ain\'t no mountain high enough\' sing-along is pure garbage.
9. A Knight\'s Tale: medieval drivel, and two excruciating hours to boot.
8. Friday the 13th Part VIII: even by horror movie standards, this movie sucks. The worst part is that only a half-hour takes place in New York and virtually none of it was filmed in the Big Apple.
7. Return of the Jedi: as Kevin Smith wrote in Clerks: "all Jedi had was a bunch of muppets." Could have used the swedish chef to inject a little life into this Romper Room romp.
6. Jersey Girl: speaking of Kevin Smith. This movie features Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler battling for the worst actor of eternity award. They both win. I\'m sure Gigli would be on this list if I ever saw it.
5. Magical Mystery Tour: over-the-top pretentious pyschedelic crap. An era that was clearly on its death bed. Bring on the White Album.
4. Old School: I\'d laugh harder if I had bricks thrown at my face than I would while watching Will Ferrell do ANYTHING (well, maybe expect seeing bricks thrown at his face).
3. Hide & Seek: un-scary, incoherent, easy-days-work cash-in thriller for Bob DeNiro. While watching, I was accurately predicting who would die and when they would on the minute.
2. There\'s Something About Mary: yeah, it\'s real challenging to get laughs by mocking retarded people. Should have started with the writers of this overrated piece of shit.
1. Independence Day: If aliens visited Earth and saw this movie, they\'d feel too sorry for our stupidity to attack us. I still cannot get through Bill Pullman\'s presidential speech without laughing.
-
Heres some that i know suck but i still like, mostly to make fun of.
Sleepaway Camp
OMG, that\'s a good one. I haven\'t seen it since like 9th grade when me and my friends were on a bad horror film kick, but it was seriously creepy at the end. Which reminds me of another bad one, Slumber Party Massacre.
The movies I mentioned in my other posts were ones that I thought were seriously bad, like a waste of time, but as far as a movie that is so bad it\'s good, I\'d have to say Napoleon Dynamite. It is totally ridiculous and has no real plot, but it is hysterical, especially the dance scene.
-

are you ser?!!!
-
10. Remember the Titans: any movie with an \'ain\'t no mountain high enough\' sing-along is pure garbage.
9. A Knight\'s Tale: medieval drivel, and two excruciating hours to boot.
Note to Chris Pitch: Don\'t EVER watch the movie Stepmom, I believe it has not one, but two \'ain\'t no mountain high enough\' sing alongs! Seriously.
Isn\'t it my fault you had to sit though A Knight\'s Tale? My friend Lori made me watch it, claiming it was the best movie ever, and I\'m pretty sure you were there. And yeah, Lori is crazy, it sucked big time.
-
Yes, you are somewhat responsible for me having to endure "A Knight\'s Tale." But I made you read my poems so I guess we\'re even. Hardy har.
And yes, Mamalaka, I am in fact SER.
-
knights tales gets 2 points for putting the real live chauser (sp?) into a movie.
However, it looses 8 googleplexs\' cubed points for making me sit through a sing a long medival version of we will rock you.
-
All Nicholas Cage movies get my vote.
pfffft
Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Raising Arizona are great movies, The Cotton Club was decent as was Moonstruck and Wild At Heart is just to bizarre to be missed.
as for worst movie ever Showgirls is pretty high up there.
-
oh i just remembered... under the tuscan sun blew my crotch
-
3 ninjas kickback. beat that
-
Probably going to wind up a lot of people with this, but here\'s some of the movies I was glad I didn\'t pay good money to see in the cinema:
The Breakfast Club - yeah, I know any film with Breakfast in the title should be good, but this one sucked big time!!
And speaking of other way over-rated movies from the same era - Stand By Me.
And here\'s some which many don\'t like, but I really enjoy:
Starship Troopers - proved Verhoeven could make better films than Showgirls!
Tremors I-IV (yes, even the last Western prequel)
Joe\'s Apartment - complete with singing cockroaches
Men In Black - just for Tommy Lee Jones being the straight guy
A Knight\'s Tale - you simply cannot fail to recognise the genius of Paul Bettany in the role of Chaucer
And by the same token, Notting Hill for the film-stealing part of Spike played by Rhys Ifans
-

You mean THIS!

Pitchie, it means a lot to me that u didnt include Super Troopers in your list
TURKEY!!
-

wow, if you think there is one film like adaptation i\'d like to know that it is....
also "psychologial thirller" nearly made me shit my pants! are you SER guy?
"I\'d have to say Napoleon Dynamite. It is totally ridiculous and has no real plot"
good films dont have to have plots, not saying ND is good, but look at Harmonie Korine\'s films, he fucking invented a new genre!
wild at heart and rasing arizona are bothe fucking 4 stars!

What the hell is going on in this post man. Everybody\'s entitled to their own opinion but, next time I\'m in Wales remind me not to peruse your DVD collection...:wah: :banghead:
Hey at least you were prepared...:D
-
Adaptation, A Beautiful Mind, Secret Window, Vanilla Sky, all them fucking movies annoy the living shit out of me. After watching anything of that ilk, all I can think is what a waste of 2 hours.
-
The Ringer starring J. Knoxsville
-
adaptation is nothing like A beautiful mind (which sucked hardcore) or secret window (who the fuck would even see that?)
i dont understand how a person could put those 3 films in the category
adaptation is the best screenplay ever written....hands down!
-
i wouldnt quite go that far but its definitly a good movie. some people just dont like good movies.
-
maybe it was my hatred for nicholas cage that wouldn\'t let me accept it as a movie, i\'ll watch it again to confer, its been a while, but i don\'t recall loving it the first go around.
-
just pretend its not nicholas cage, it really is a well written film IMHO
-
It seems to me that a lot of us are willing to sit thru most anything trying to get laid
:biggrin:
-
I reserve any opinion on the matter until I see this movie:
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/snakes_on_a_plane/
"we got muthaf*ckin snakes on plane!"
-
take a few bong rips and let it blow your mind... i think it\'s nic cage\'s best performance, and i agree, i\'m not usually a fan of his....but i fucking love him in that as Donald! Charlie is ok too, haha
-
thats why i grouped it in w/ the other films i mentioned. All of which have fictional characters that are figments of the main character\'s imagination. thats what I presumed his twin brother to be as well. Is that wrong? Does that make sense?
-
no he\'s not a figment of his imagination, not in the context of the film anyway
he is not a real person in real life, though he was nomiated for an Academy Award....
it\'s not like ABM or fight club, in the context of that film donald kaufman is just as real a character as charlie

:) No problem. I think all who know me here have realised I have somewhat strange tastes in things on-Breakfast related.
Now, if we were talking some of my favourite films, rather than just those I enjoy when they are on, I\'d be talking Easy Rider, One Flew Over The Cuckoo\'s Nest, American Beauty etc
Oh yes, and not forgetting the first Star Wars film I queued round the block for when it came out in 1977!!!
-
easy rider is amazing, you gotta fucking worship lazlo kovacs! he\'s the reason that film is so beautiful
-
Ah okay, that\'s much better. One Flew Over the Cuckoo\'s Nest is great, but it hardly compares with the book. Then again when does any movie? I think Lord of the Rings does a really good job, but that even leaves a lot of good stuff out while taking a few liberties with the story.
BTW, queued!!! Not that we need any proof you\'re from England, but that does it right there. How\'s the weather over there these days? It\'s awful parky over here in the States. I really have to get to England, I want to have a real ale. Though I don\'t want to go to England only to get rat-arsed. I hear that black pudding is the dog\'s bollocks and I would be barmy not to have some if I was there. I\'m sure a lot of people go to England on the piss but going down to the local all the time can cost a lot of quid. You don\'t get owt for nowt, as they say. Though I will gen up on all the pubs in the area and I\'m sure I\'ll be chuffed to bits with what I find. Sorry for all the British slang, I didn\'t want to appear like an ignorant septic tank. Hope I didn\'t drop a clanger. :D

I was gonna go w/ the shocked banana... but this works too.

Don\'t insult Boombox like that... He\'s from Whales, not england. Not Cotswolds or the west country, heart of england or south central, but Wales. That\'s almost as bad as calling a scott a brit.
-
If this thread\'s title was "worst movie endings ever" I\'d definitely mention 40-year-old virgin. I just saw this the other night... loved the movie, but it had the gayest ending in the world!
Otherwise, here are my top 3:
"Being John Malkovic" (sp?)
"Sideways"
"Scary Movie(s)"

i was pissed after watching stephen king\'s IT. i wanted those four hours of my life back.

boombox = a bloody wanker. I\'m sure they know what that is in both Whales, England, and the UK. :lol:
-
Is IT the one with the clown? If so, yeah, that was really terrible, and I never returned it and thus can\'t go back to that video store. All over some movie that sucks.
-
yep it\'s the one with the clown. the clown actually turns into a rottweiler at one point in the movie. i cant beleive i sat through that whole movie.
-

[MAD]Bring back the Whale!!![/MAD]
I remember a couple more horrible movies. Well these are actually so bad that they are funny, but still that doesn\'t mean they aren\'t bad.
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
-Martians, upset that their children have become obsessed with TV shows from Earth which extoll the virtues of Santa Claus, start an expedition to Earth to kidnap the one and only Santa.
Reefer Madness
-Told by high school principal Dr. Carroll to parents at a PTA meeting, of the scourge of marihuana. The tale revolves around Mae and Jack, accomplices in the distribution of marihuana, who manage to entice the local high school kids to stop by Mae\'s apartment to smoke reefer. The lives of all who are involved with this menace are inevitably shattered. One youngster becomes so addicted to the killer **** that a judge orders him to be committed for life to a mental hospital! Dr. Carroll advises us to not incur the same tragedy.
-Women Cry For It - Men Die For It!
-The Sweet "Pill" That Makes Life BITTER!
-It\'s Public Enemy, Number One!
-
i\'ll have to rent that santa martian one.
-
How about It\'s Pat the Movie or Stewart Saves his Family.
-
Hey Chris, did you work at a video store or something?
-
i was pissed after watching stephen king\'s IT. i wanted those four hours of my life back.
Yeah, what is it about movies made from Stephen King books being so freakin\' awful? It, The Stand, Hearts in Atlantis, Secret Window, they all sucked and the books are way better.
-
:point: "Hey Chris, did you work at a video store or something?"
[EVIL]Who me? [/EVIL]
Oh I just thought of the all-time worst movie ever.
Twin Sitters starring the Barbarian Brothers. They drove a monster truck everywhere!!!

:that:
also add
lawnmower man
maximum overdrive
Salems\' Lot
pet cemetary
[...]
only good SK book turned movies:
The Shinning
Carrie
Shawshank Redemption
Now, if you got the guy who did the lord of the rings series to tackle dark tower you may have something, but stephen has it that that can never be made into a movie, at least while he\'s alive. Some books just don\'t translate to film.
-

kinda felt the same way after a Thin Red Line

Peter Jackson could do it!!! He can do anything, who would have thought that the Lord of the Rings would be so good. I would love to see who they would get to play all the parts.
I think the real problem with Stephen King movies is that most people are looking at the book thinking, well it\'s Stephen King so it has to make money right? They dumb the whole thing down thinking that a movie-going audience can\'t handle a long movie with a developing plot. The result is usually jerky and contrived. Then people will go see the movie anyway because it is based on a Stephen King book. Less and less people like to read these days, so they watch the movie instead thinking that they got the important parts. Then the producers slash the budget because they know that they already have an audience based on the fact it\'s a SK book.
If somebody approaches his books trying to interpret them as best they can and lovingly nurture the screenplay until it blossoms into a well thought out movie, then you\'d have something. Like the few good ones you mentioned.
That\'s why I think Peter Jackson could do The Dark Tower, because it seems like he approaches every great work the correct way. I can see why SK would want to wait until he\'s dead, then he won\'t have to see the possible tragedy that Hollywood may make. Just my opinion though...
