In no particular order as all are pretty much just as worse as the rest...

Braveheart
The Patriot
War of the Worlds
Passion of the Christ
Dungeons and Dragons

As you can see, Mel Gibson won't be on my Christmas Card list :) .

What are the worst films you guys have ever seen.

The absolute dogfest for me is Daredevil. George Lucas could've written a better script!

For me I never stayed to watch the entire film.

1) Madness of king George
2) U-571
3) Tomb Raider
4) Van Helsing
5) Eight legged freaks

1) Hamlet (modern version)

2) Romeo and Juliet (also modern version)

These two rate as my most hated movies of all time because, to me, you cannot try and modernize something that is meant to be set in the medieval era and R+J has Leonardo in it which really s**ts me.

3) Carrie

4) Resident Evil: Apocalypse (when your laugh the entire way through a serious horror movie, the script writers havent done their jobs)

5) Sahara (one of the greatest books I have ever read but the movie was one of the biggest let downs I have ever had to suffer)

Edit: How could I have forgotten "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"?! It takes the cake with no competition.

1) Freedom Deep: There's every chance that you haven't heard of this one. It seems to be an Australian indie movie which I bought cheaply because the blurb made it sound like it would at least be silly enough to be entertaining. This movie has no plot - literally, there isn't one unless you use the one on the blurb - you have to make up your own (it was fun in that way). There's pretty much no dialogue, clearly no budget, no rating (despite scenes of rape-at-knifepoint)...

Everything else pales in comparision to Freedom Deep ... though I haven't watched Plan 9 From Outer Space yet...

"Kevin & Perry" leaves all the other bad movies behind. I left the cinema after 20 minutes.

Others:
Pearl Harbor: Wow! Inable actors (Affleck, Beckingsale), a mess of a story, stupid dialogues and an action sequence that is too long. Bay's worst movie. And that means a lot.

Armageddon: Another Bay. Slightly better than Pearl Harbor, but suffering from the same errors. The actors are better, though.

The first D&D movie: Unintentional hilarious. ;D

Spaceballs: Two good jokes. That's all. The rest is dumb.

The Shaft Remake: I missed the charme of the original(s). Jacksons Shaft is just a thug.

Vercingetorix: I almost cried when I watched it. Two great actors (Max von Sydow and Klaus Maria Brandauer) in a movie with Christopher Lambert (sic) which apperantly took the inspiration for the props from Asterix comics.

Sin City: Great visuals. But that's all. The only story that's marginally interesting is the last one, but the others are terribly boring.

Lady in the Water: Exciting, thought provoking fantasy?! Haha, no way in hell. More like a random comedy with attempted horror filler.

Paparrazzi: Bleh, biggest waste of time ever. Not a good story, not good acting, and not a good story.

And kuemper, whats this about George Lucas not writing good scripts?!

The only movies listed that I agree needs to be on any 'worst' list is Attack of the Killer Tomatos and Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Clearly no one as seen any Ed Wood movies such as 'Glen or Glenda' or 'Plan 9 from Outer Space.' Once you seen anything by Ed Wood, even Gigli and Glitter are works of art.

Triactus
Sat, 29th Jul '06, 10:41pm
Although I haven't yet seen it, 'Plan 9 from outer space' is supposed to be the worst movie of all times. With some really bad films, you can watch them and really laugh your butt off, but my brother told me that you don't laugh with 'Plan 9', you're actually sad that somebody made that thing.

But I can think of a few...

1) Street fighter : I'm surprised nobody mentionned that horrible movie. It even stars J-C Van Dame, one of the worst action film actors.

2)Vampirella : This comic adaptation really, really blows. It's horrible in all senses of the word.

3) Krull : This sort of King Arthur / Star wars tale has lame acting, ugly special effects, the worst cyclops make up you will ever see, and a 'what the hell am I doing in this movie' Liam Neeson.

I could go on forever, but that's the one that stuck with me... :)

These two rate as my most hated movies of all time because, to me, you cannot try and modernize something that is meant to be set in the medieval era and R+J has Leonardo in it which really s**ts me.I reeeeeeeally don't agree. It is set in the medieval times because it was written around that period. I think it's a mistake to keep the stories in the time frame they were created. Romeo and Juliette, for exemple, is not about two clans figthing for power in england (and it's not really about love either), it's a bout hate, how powerful it is, its transendence, how it passes from generation to generation. I think the essense of Shakespear's plays are what's important, not the context.

And I'm so totally :yot: , but I wanted to say it.... :good:

Battlefield earth: Primitives learn to fly fighter jets in a week :bang: .

All the Rambo and the similar Chuck Norris' movies: These movies introduced new military tactics, a guy armed with a machine gun can wipe out and entire armies.

House of The Dead II.

Woman in horror movies are usually dumb, but the ones in that movie take the trophy of the dumbest ever.

Like the part when a guy is seasick and pukes on a woman's shirt (of course she wears NO bra), so she gets inside to clean it, and a guy passes behind her, SHE turns around, and calls him a pervert. :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: If you didn't wanted the guy to see your boobs, just don't turn around and keep cleaning your damn shirt, FFS!

Or the other part - a guy and a gal are in a tent in the forest, and they're about to get some action, but he needs to take a piss first. So, he goes outsite to take a piss, while the chick remains in the tent. Then, you can see like 25 zombie hands everywhere outside the tent, and the only thing the idiot finds to say is "H... honey, is that you? :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

And I liked Krull. Considering the time it was made, it's quite a good fantasy film.

Battlefield Earth was terrible...Great book, bad movie. Did John Travolta even read it...I mean the whole movie was awlful!!!

Wing Commander. Except for the stop motion 360 scene that every has ripped off, it is terrible!

Jersey Girl - The only Kevin Smith movie I don't like...BTW - I saw Clerks II today...AWESOME!

Oh God, I saw Wing Commander, and yes, it was indeed terrible! Even David Warner couldn't save it!

Having Wing Commander in there opened up the black pit of despair of awful movies I tried to forget. I really enjoyed the manga version of Fist of the north star. But I unfortunately watched the action version too! IT WAS TERRIBLE! Chris Penn and Malcolm McDowell couldn't even rescue it!

Wing Commander is not that bad. It does have few things in common with the games, but as a movie it is mediocre.

Though I missed Malcom McDowell as Tolwyn and the real Rapiers, the 'Das Boot' rip off scenes with Jurgen Prochnow were funny, and the CGI wasn't bad either.

US movies that deal with Irish politics (especially if they are starring Harrison Ford).

Titanic - why is this voted one of the greatest movies of all time? Probably because it was expensive...

Braveheart - Mad Mel needs to read up on his history.

Scream franchise (and similar) - worst horror's ever.

Battle Royale 2 - bland characters

Meat Market - one man, a few of his friends and a camcorder...

Wedding Crashers - tacky and unfunny

The Magpie
Tue, 1st Aug '06, 11:00am
In no particular order (because ranking crap is futile & depressing):

Ghost Dog - Way of the Samurai
Clearly, they were trying to make an artsy, Luc Besson style action flick translating the ancient Samurai code of honour to the modern day, for instant cool points. Forest Whitaker is so poor and the "action" sequences so unconvincing that it makes all those things desparately uncool.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Worst. Star Wars. Ever. Hayden Christensen somehow conveys less emotion than Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker managed strapped in metal suits, whilst all the time the atrocious, atrocious script makes you want to eat your own face to get away. Natalie Portman is lost amidst the tripe, being able to display only a burning desire to hang, draw and quarter her agent for locking her into 3 films without seeing the scripts. Unintentional comedy would have been nice, but Lucas's script can't manage even that. I love the other 5 movies (yes, even TPM) but this was so appallingly bad I couldn't not omit it here. This film also marks the zenith (nadir?) of Lucas's CGI fetish, with not opportunity for incongruous, castoony effects passed up. The final sequences on Geonosis are especially terrible, with the spectacle passing you by because all the computer wizardry utterly fails to get over you suspension of disbelief. The sole highlight is Jango Fett and his hard-ass kiwi accent.

Legally Blonde 2
A friend made me go see this. We don't talk anymore. Dumb, dumb, dumb, with vomit-inducing pink everywhere. Only saving grace is the unintentionally hilarious "Gay Dogs of America" parade.

Death Wish 2
Nasty, horrible, tactless and racist, this film features numerous murders and rapes and makes me glad that Michael Winner gave up directing and became a restaurant critic and insurance company whore.

Howard the Duck
Oh dear. Cigar chomping duck crashlands on planet Earth, to painfully unfunny effect! Disturbing duck-on-girl action and a thoroughly unlikeable lead creature. Executive Producer: George Lucas. Why George? WHY?

Let me see - I would vote Forrest Gump but I never managed to watch more than a couple minutes without leaving the room in disgust and proclaiming that the offending party who turned it on was insane.

Of the films where I have actually sat through the entire film my first choice would have to be House of the Dead. I have seen Plan 9 from Outer Space and many other truly pathetic pieces of film making and got quite a chuckle out of them. Not so with House of the Dead, it was just plain unenjoyable garbage.

Dubya. Just a throwaway comment relating to a picture I saw mocked-up ages ago of Tom Hanks as Forrest, but with George W's face. (If I find the link, I'll post it, but no-one hold their breath.) Yes, it's a cheap Bush-is-dumb crack, but I never said I had shame. Jeez. :rolleyes:

And there's no way it could be Clinton, who's about as far from the Gump character as you could reasonably get.

In any case (before this thread goes catastrophically off-topic and crash-lands in the AoLS), I'll just say that Forrest Gump is a perfectly reasonable film, if overly saccharine and not worth much of the hype and praise it initially received. Just like 90% of Hollywood's output, come to think of it. But that's not enough to make me hate it, just shrug and go "meh".

Fabius Maximus
Wed, 2nd Aug '06, 11:11am
Wow!

I don't know what Ghost Dog, Forrest Gump and The Truman Show have to do with bad movies.

Ghost Dog is a brilliant movie by Jim Jarmush, and has nothing to do with an action film at all. It's sad little film about moral values in modern society, and an epitath for the Mafia that only consists of a bunch of old men.

The Truman Show is a superb media satire and a late coming off age story.

I will not write anything about Forrest Gump. The movie stands for itself.

The worst movie I have ever seen by far is Manos: The Hands of Fate. It was made by a manure salesman in the 1960s because he claimed he could make a successful low-budget horror movie. He completely failed. Not only was it a terrible movie, the editing sucked and their camera didn't even have sound, so they had to go through afterwards and dub all the voices, and they did it terribly. Also, the actors in it were just friends of the director, they had absolutely no acting experience. Those who are into Mystery Science Theater 3000, have probably seen it with the hilarious commentary...I dare those to watch it without it as I have, lol. Oh yeah, after the movie was released, over half the people in the cast killed themselves.

@ Death Rabbit - by that same logic Van Helsing couldn't be that bad because Beckinsale is in it. :p

Edit: Actually it is kind of funny that Transporter 2 makes it onto your list. I have always kind of associated that film with you because of the Death by Rabbit tattoo that the female goon has.

Bad Taste Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcwjZI5id-E&mode=related&search=)
Bad Taste is the first 'major release' of Peter Jackson and was actually quite a success IIRC. It is old, yes.
The movie is so bad, that it is actually good, or at least a good laugh.
Too bad, they left the silliest parts of the movie out of the trailer.

Big disappoinment was an other oldie from 1968, called "2001: a Space Odyssey"
The movie was so slow. I have been looking for 20 minutes at a screen with changing colors which were solar systems etc. Or 3 minutes watching how an astronaut slowly floats in outerspace to his base. It took all too long.
I'm glad I saw that one, though. Still a classic.

The truely bad movies are those that made no impression to me at all, and neeless to say, I forgot them.

Edit:
I still want to go to "Nacht van de Wansmaak" (free translation: Night of the Distaste). It's a compilation of the worst moviescenes of the worst movies ever. Mostly horror, SF, KongFu.

Scarface...
It's... entertainment, yes. And pastime. I don't say it's a bad movie. But what is so good about it? The plot? The story? A surprising end?
Scarface didn't leave an impression on me. All I remember is that one bigmouth rises to be the biggest crook and dies. I felt neither love, hatred, compassion, anger or sympathy with any character while watching the movie.

Death Rabbit
Tue, 8th Aug '06, 9:44pm
@ JSBB

That's an excellent point. On that note, Van Helsing is getting bumped from the top 5. Despite how ridiculously overdone it was, I did enjoy it - and Kate Beckinsale did look unbelievable hot in that one. Sword-wielding chicks with push-up bras, and all that. :D

#4 on the list shall be Superman Returns. Actually it is kind of funny that Transporter 2 makes it onto your list. I have always kind of associated that film with you because of the Death by Rabbit tattoo that the female goon has.Heh - I don't remember that, I guess. I turned it off when he removed the bomb from under the car by doing the Evel Knevel flip jump to the crain - which was probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a movie. :rolleyes:

Really liked the first Transporter, though. Besides, I was Death Rabbit long before that turd of a sequel came out. It's funny you said that, because most people think I got the nick from the vampire rabbit in Monty Python & the Holy Grail. :lol:

JSBB
Tue, 8th Aug '06, 9:52pm
I know your knick came long before Transporter 2 - I remember being in the theatre watching Transporter 2 and thinking of you when I saw the tattoo. I guess that it is an indication of the quality of the film that a character having a tattoo similar to a SP nickname was one of the highlights of the film for me.

As far as Superman Returns goes - try watching the first Donner/Christopher Reeves Superman film. Compared to that piece of garbage Superman Returns looks Oscar worthy.

Death Rabbit
Tue, 8th Aug '06, 10:04pm
I've thought about that - but our eyes are biased by the film trends and special-effects standards of today. I agree with the sentiment, because a few days before I saw 'Returns' I watched both Superman I & II with my brother and said the same thing. He told me that they may seem cheesy now, but when it first came out, Superman I was da sh*t. I was too young to remember how it was received in theaters - I only say it on cable growing up.

Visually, Superman Returns was excellent - I'll gladly give it that. Story and acting-wise, it was an inconsistent, plot-hole-ridden piece of crap.

JSBB
Tue, 8th Aug '06, 10:12pm
When I watched Superman 1 recently I thought that the special effects were still reasonable looking but it was the horrible plot (and plot holes), terrible acting and even worse dialogue that made me cringe.

Lois Lane's poetic chant while Superman was flying her around just about made me want to vomit.

Luthor's deductions about Krypton and Kryptonite were such that he ought to be picking lottery numbers to make his money instead of pulling real estate swindles.

Oh and I would dearly love anyone to give me a good explaination of how exactly Superman's B/S fly around the world to reverse time managed to save Lois' life when he never actually did anything to change her fate.

Death Rabbit
Tue, 8th Aug '06, 10:46pm
All those are good points, JSBB, to which I agree completely - but to me, the logical sins of the first Superman are far more forgivable than those of Superman Returns. Back then the formula for blockbusters was "fantastic = good; who cares if it's plausible...it's a movie!" They didn't know any better (specifically when it comes to superhero movies).

Today's audience is far more sophisticated (or so I'd like to think), and so are the filmmakers. Brian Singer should know better.

Here's my list of a few of the suckiest movies I've ever seen:
- Star Trek V: The Final Frontier; Undoubtedly the worst Star Trek movie ever made. Don't get me wrong, I consider myself a trekkie, but even a fan like me has a hard time sitting out that movie. It was boring as hell. The only thing making that movie slightly memorable is Scotty bumping his head after claiming he knows the ship like the back of his hand.
- 40 Days and 40 Nights; I can usually take teen comedies for what they are and actually enjoy them (American Pie was funny, The New Guy had Eliza Dushku in bikini :yum: , Bring It On had Eliza Dushku in bikini :yum: ), but 40 Days and 40 Nights sucked pretty bad, and Shannyn Sossamon just isn't enough of a hottie to save the movie. I was actually hoping that the guy didn't get the girl, which is pretty bad in a movie.
- Mad Max; I may get a few people mad by putting this one on my list, but I recently saw this movie for the first time, and I was majorly disappointed in it. It was a movie about Max going mad, and that's it. If you didn't see his wife and child getting killed from ten miles away you must have been sleeping. The story wasn't there and it didn't explore the setting like the second Mad Max movie.
- Kingdom of Heaven; The worst 8 bucks I ever spend on a movie theater ticket. Trying to cash in with an epic movie just doesn't work when a movie sucks that bad.
- Anything by David Lynch; My brother and I sometimes watch movies together, and he sometimes brings these David Lynch DVDs. I haven't seen a single one with which I didn't wish I would fall asleep, just so I didn't have to watch the rest of the movie. I'm sure those DVDs will make excellent frisbees, as they aren't suitable for anything else.

There might be other bad movies I've seen, which were so bad I can't remember watching them.


And as if this post isn't long enough, I will present my 'Those movies are cool, you're opinion is wrong' list:
- Van Helsing; Two words: Kate Beckinsale.
- Pearl Harbor; Never saw the thing, but two words: Kate Beckinsale
- Sin City; It's a love it or hate it movie, and I think it's loveable.
- The Truman Show; Completely agree with Fabius on this one, it's brilliant.
- The Ring; The first movie to really scare me out since Snow White. I've never seen the Japanese version, but I've heard it's scarier :mommy:
- Batman Begins: Best. Batman. Movie. Ever.

I must admit there are a lot of movies on your lists that I haven't seen, but judging by what some of you call bad movies, they can't be that bad :p

:confused: I can't stand Police Academy now but i liked them when i watched them the first time. They were funny for me when i was a child. For today's standards, of course they are not.

Mesmero: Kate Beckingsale is one of the reasons that 'Pearl Harbor' is bad. She's awfully inapt and does not strip enough clothing to be eye candy enough to rescue the movie.

Also, David Lynchs works are difficult to watch. But his movies aren't bad per se.

Black cop/White cop comedies where they spend the entire movies movies going over 'differences in culture'. The Black cop always listens to rap, the White cop only listens to Country or Elvis. Eventually they get over the racial divide.

'Troubled' highschool dramas. A new teacher arrives in town, gets made fun of by his or her new pupils and then eventually turns gang-bangers into poetry reading wimps!

Daredevil (and pretty much everything Ben Affleck is in)
Van Helsing - lames thing I have ever seen.
Star Wars episode 1 - not even Darth Maul could save this one from Jar-Jar Stinks and the anakin kid.

Bloodrayne - picture Michelle Rodriguez trying to sound british, and only half-succeeding on every third word.

Pearl Harbour

Dungeons & Dragons 1-2

Crossroads

The new Pink Panther movie

Superman returns

War of the Worlds

Spawn

Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers

Anything by David Lynch I don't agree. Yes it's a complicated plot, but there's a lot of automatism in Lynch's writting process. Plus, the cinematography (colors, contrast, etc) is absolutly excellent.

Aliens vs. Predator I so forgot that one. lol. Boy that movie sucked. Even the action scenes are really really bad. :lol:

And I just thought about it. Have anybody seen Dante's Peak? Did someone actually like that movie?

Ok, time for a more extensive list for me.

Pear Harbor was an awesome movie in respects to cinematography...but Ben and Kate totally ruined it. Replace Ben Affleck with *anyone* and maybe toss in a 'good' sex scene...and maybe it could have been better.

xXx with Vin Dissel was horrible. The second one probably sucked just as much if not more...but I didn't see the 2nd one, so I wouldn't know. Pretty much any movie with Vin Dissel sucks. My favorite part in Saving Private Ryan is when Vin's character gets shot and dies. :bad:

The Village sucked horribly...but I have to admit, I didn't see the twist towards the end coming, and it left me thinking, "WTF?" The chick who plays Ivy shouldn't be in movies, she's truly a horrible actress. :nono:

Titanic is by far the worst movie of all time. The fact that they dragged it on for over 3 hours was bad enough, but having to see Kate Winslet nude just added insult to injury. <insert puking smiley here> (http://alcor12.alcorconwireless.net/drupal/misc/smileys/puke.gif) :bad:

The Rambo and Norris movies all sucked. Mullets and machine guns do not make a good movie. :nono:

Daredevil sucks almost as much as Titanic...just in a different way. Again, Ben Affleck ruins another movie.

That's all for now. I'll try and think of more later. :rolling:

I never understood that part, though. There a freakin' volcano erupting next to her house, and she refuses to leave? Textbook movie death sentence. She should have watched them more often... :shake:

If Kate Winslet walked into your bedroom nude, you would turn her down Kit? I would hope not... :D If you do, though, be sure to send Kate by my house. Then again, if you turn down any nude actresses, be sure to send them to my house... :p

I'd turn her down in a second, and then sue her for all she's worth for the emotional damage done by seeing her naked. :p I honestly can't stand Kate Winslet. He acting sucks, and it's not often you see an actress with an ugly fance *and* an ugly body. :skeptic: I'm not horny/stupid enough to just F*** any naked woman that walks in to my room... :bad:

You also need to remember, I'm getting married in about 3 weeks. ;) :rolling:

Don't be so stupid, Kate Winslet doesn't have an ugly body OR an ugly face. She might not be your type, but you can't call her ugly.

You'd shag her senseless if she offered it up and don't again try and pretend you wouldn't :p . You've got red blood, like the rest of us!

Back on Topic: I just remembered another movie which I think is very bad: Excalibur. The acting is crap, and to the end, the film looks like I would imagine a bad LSD trip. And there is now reason whatsoever that all the knights are wearing plate mail all the time. (Which wasn't even invented at the time the movie should play.)

Also, Arthurs alleged father, King Uther, existed. He lived in the very early middle age. So you have at least one real person living in a time where Plate Armor didn't exist.

It should be Welsh.
Yes, according to the earliest legends. But most of the legends, those involving the knights of the Round Table, were crafted later, during the High Middle Ages, particularly in France as part of the Court of Love. They would have worn a little plate, but mostly mail during that period. But the legends have never stopped evolving, even well into the previous century (TH White and Steinbeck). Nevertheless, I still don't believe that there is a particular right or wrong method for depicting a group of knights who never existed in the first place.

Last night was not good for me, I just saw what probably is the worst movie I've seen in my life. It has dialogues like:

Bad guy: I have 700 armed men here with me. What do you possibly think you can do to them?
Heroine: I can kill them.

Bad guy: What are you thinking. We are just as fast and as strong as you are.
Heroine: But you are not as pissed as I am.

Some guy: Are you mental?

The word "logic" simply does not exists in this movie at all.

The incredible action scenes actually leaves you with your jaws dropping. Jaws dropping not in awe of how great and fluidly it was done but rather dumbfounded and unable to scream despite the incredible urge to cry in disgust at the lack of any real intelligence.

The story and the plot. Watch it 10 times and I bet you still can't find either.

Acting... well, let me put it this way. After watching it, I just had to pop in another DVD in the hope that I will forget it. I happen to put in 16 Blocks. And after watching the awful movie, I bet you would want to nominate Bruce Willis as Best Actor for the Oscar, even Mos Def as Best Supporting Actor... heck! You might even consider 16 Blocks as the Best Picture. That is how bad that awful movie was.

The only good thing is that the heroine was incredibly beautiful and sexy. I'm even conviced that skin tight spandex and leather outfits were invented just for her.

The awful movie... ULTRAVIOLET.

For a D&D movie, they should do a Dragon Lance kinda thing. Take great RPG players and do a campaing. You then take the story that developped and make a movie out of it. It'd be 100 times better than any of the Dungeon movies...

There are a lot of horrible movies out there, but I don't think "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" should be included. Why? It's become a cult classic as an atrocious film and therefor good because of its awfulness. People watch it so that they can laugh at how bad it is.

The other movies listed are not watched because the viewer wants to see a bad movie.

Titanic .for a long time it was on my list of movies starting with T and ending with itanic i wouldn't see. but a gf forced me. 3hours waste of time.

First Knight. got to be the worst version of the king arthur myth ever, they all wore identically plate and swords, and does small crossbows, that works even when they are soaked, god that sucked.


on the other hand i cant undestand people criticising Kruhll, sin city and attack of the killer tomatoes or return of the killer tomatoes for that mather.
