What about Highlander 4 & 5?

Any film made by the unified film organisation

SIBHCHEVIE

In defence of Titanic I will say that it actually wasnt a bad movie, I think the thing that puts people off is the love story/Jack and Rose thing and the fact that it was played to death as well as 'that' song. Started off ok, but got a little boring fast.

Apart from those fictional characters the rest of the movie was pretty decent, more or less historically correct and for Titanic buffs (such as myself, I was one before this movie came along :P) it was great to see the story played out with modern technology, CGI, etc etc.

The original "Assault on Precinct 13" was absolutely abysmal, I've not seen the remake but it can't be any worse. I watched the whole film solely because it was so bad, it was laughable.

Says more about u m8 and your taste (or lack of) in films the original Assault is a cult classic with great performances from a relatively unknown cast.

Should have addressed this post a few months back but just started reading it today :cool:

Worst film ever The English Patient what a bore fest

i have never come close to hating that movie

Blair Witch Project,gickfest of the highest order,most boring film ever seen,just because its shot for 5 bob doesnt make it good and original,nothing happens just a bunch of crap actors running around the woods,shouting and screaming,and the finale,which you hope will somehow redeem this crap film and give it some meaning,no,you see a man standing in the corner of a dark room,with the witch apparently holding the camera,SNNNOOOREEEE,brutal film

Demeyes

I think a lot of you people have been blessed withh your movie choices. A lot of these movies might not be great but I don't think they really touch the realm of bad.

Pretty Cool Too. Now this is a bad movie. Try and watch it. I can't remember how I found it but it is truly awful. Bad acting, terrible storyline. It's genuinely terrible. Much worse than most of the titles mentioned here.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0496373/

I watched it, I can't unwatch it.

The -Movie franchise, as in Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans etc. These are terrible too. I will admit that I found most of the Scary Movie films enjoyable. These are much worse. There is the odd funny part, however any funny gags are usually dragged through the dirt and overused. The sooner they stop these the better.

UltraViolet - Elektra. I like Sci-fi movies, I like women. In my mind the too should come together well. They totally missed with these 2 movies. Incoherent storylines. Retarded is about the best way I can describe these. Neither are any way decent. I would add Aeon Flux to the group here but I don't think it was as bad.

I'm sure there are many worse movies but they lurk in the darkness, waiting to get wathced by some unsuspecting victim.

Das Kitty

For a long time I had twin horrors as my worst films.

Inspector Gadget
8 Heads in a Dufflebag (I cry!)

Very recently another, some would say, more horrific joined their ranks. That piece of brain rotting filth is.

The Happening

(runs screaming from the thread)

Can i add "Lake Placid 2!" to the list

Which was shown on Sky Premier for a week not long ago.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0974583/

This has to be one of the worst films ever to make it on to a screen of any size.
The highlight of this film is the cgi plane which completely disappears in the middle of a scene :eek:. John Schineider plays the lead role and by god he make Keanu look like a method actor.
The story is much the same as the 1st except that there is 4 crocodiles now and the crazy old lady is the sister of the crazy old lady from the 1st film.
If any one got naked in the film they were eaten so you can work out who lives by that alone.
It's an absolutely awful film, not even a so bad it's funny film.

10 Worst Films of All Time (in no particular order)

Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)
Considering this stonker from the summer of ’59 cost a measly $57,000 to produce, it was no wonder that is hailed by many critics as simply the worst film of all time. The film is notorious for mistakes, much of which is down to the fact that most of the scenes were shot in one take. The special effects make Thunderbirds look like Transformers, with strings, hand-drawn backdrops and shadows from studio equipment showing up throughout the feature. Many modern sitcoms have made reference to the film comically, which has ironically been immortalised by its immeasurable amateurism.

Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)
Shame on you George Lucas. The Star Wars Holiday Special was a two-hour catastrophe that aired on CBS in November 1978. The story centres around a plot that sees Han Solo attempting to get Chewbacca home to Kashyyyk for Life Day. When fans saw that the likes of Ford, Hamill, Fisher and Mayhew included in the cast, they were thrilled at the prospect of a sequel to A New Hope, two years ahead of the scheduled Empire Strikes Back. To their horror, the production was so awful, that it almost ruined Lucas and the Star Wars saga. Unintentionally inane characters such as Lumpy and Itchy, Chewie’s family, are just the tip of the iceberg in a movie that is ridiculously, down right astonishingly bad. So jaw-droppingly horrific was his creation, that Lucas, in an attempt to save his beloved Galaxy far far away, set out on a quest to destroy all known copies of the film. Only a few bootlegs of the Holiday Special are still in existence today. His views on the production were summed up at an Australian Fan convention thus: "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it." We couldn’t have put it better ourselves George.

Monster in the Closet (1986)
Probably not the worst film that Paul Walker ever appeared in, but undoubtedly the greatest blip in the career of Black Eyed Peas front girl, Stacy Ferguson. This horror / comedy gave new meaning to the word “random”. It was almost as though director Bob Dahlin replied, “era, let’s just wing it,” when asked about the script. For those of you who haven’t seen the flick, be sure to watch for the random act of violence against a vase in the 73rd minute.

The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Probably the worst film that Paul Walker ever appeared in. There are few people can stand the sight of a 24-year-old adolescent “cruisin round” in their white Starlet Glanza. Just when we were getting used to seeing them amass in the Tesco car park, Universal Pictures came out and put them on our cinema screens as well. All it took to bring this Neal Moritz production to life was a half-dozen clown cars, a script of woeful one-liners and a rabble of actors who could master the intricacies of both the aforementioned.

Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
While Jaws itself will always live long in the hearts of all those who witnessed its unveiling in the summer of 1975, the goings-on in its final sequel were just that bit too Swiss-cheesy for even the most avid of fans. Directed by Joseph Sargent, the fourth instalment in the franchise sees a shark somehow wittingly plot the demise of the remaining members of the Brody family. Coupled with that was the infamous scene where the lead character is dragged from the sea perfectly dry, and let’s not forget that loud roar the dastardly shark lets out before he meets his end. No, it’s not possible for a shark to roar.

Batman & Robin (1997)
Joel Schumacher’s career should have ended with this film. Warner Bros. should never have allowed this script to hit production lines. It was a mistake. Simply a mistake. But this movie did, somehow, get made, and with it, we were subdued to rubber nipples, fight scenes on ice-skates, and Chris O’Donnell’s patented “plastic lips” that foiled Poisin Ivy’s kiss of death. Were it not for Christopher Nolan’s resurrection of the franchise with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Gotham’s finest may well have suffered a fatal blow with this one. As Governor Schwarzenegger himself put it during the flick: “If I must suffer, humanity will suffer with me.” Oh yes Arnold, how we did suffer.

Disaster Movie (2008)
Having grossed a total of $13,000,000 to date, and having cost $25,000,000 to produce, it has to be said that Disaster Movie was aptly named. Such a poor turnover would almost suggest to me that a few of the cast’s friends and families are even guilty of snubbing this one. Unless you find the thought of chipmunks being repeatedly crushed by cows as particularly hilarious, then this film was not funny. Even the appearance of Carmen Electra, and a half-dozen or so of our favourite comic book characters, failed to save this one. Writers Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer forgot a vital ingredient to any comedy – jokes. (Que the falling cow).

Superman Returns (2006)
So when the kid turns out to have the same powers as daddy, was I the only one who was thinking, “hmmm, legion of Superboys?” Probably, as everyone else was looking at a bald Kevin Spacey thinking, “You sure this isn’t Austin Powers 4?” Lois Lane must be the most moronic reporter alive. Both Clark Kent and Superman have been missing for five years, yet, no suspicion arises when they both arrive back in town at the exact same time. Of course, it was difficult to see past his cunning disguise from Specsavers. It think this one was summed up when Superman picks up a continent without breaking a sweat, having struggled desperately to get a Boeing 747 under control 40 minutes prior.

Alexander (2004)
Directly Oliver Stone’s career really felt this one. But you could hardly blame the critics for their onslaught when one of the greatest warlords that the world has ever seen was portrayed by Colin Farrell sporting some very dashing highlights. The Persians must surely have been very confused when they heard the King of Macedonia rallying his troops in the staunchest of Irish accents. But then again, they were probably taken by his lovely hair.

Step Up (2006)
In my book, this one by Anne Fletcher was nothing more than a 98-minute-reminder of everything I hated about Bring It On (which would have undoubtedly made the list were I compiling the top 11). What sets this title apart from the woeful cheerleading exposé is that producers Jennifer Gibgot, Adam Shankman and Patrick Wachsberger forgot to hire actors. When Step Up 2: The Streets was released earlier this year, it was clear that they hadn’t learned from their mistake.

The Departed,overrated bullsh*t,'the new godfather/goodfellas/casino etc'',my arse,overly complicated,hard to follow and inevitably unenvolving,the plot revolves around,he's a rat,no he's rat,he wasnt a rat but he's dead,he runs the rats,just a dire premise for a film,and theres no sense of connectivity with the characters towards the audience,there was something that you cant put your finger on,but just really dull unispiring movie that I forgot about,10 mins afer watching

I was shocked when I heard about the remake, which I did't watch. The 1976 version I had the misfortune of watching was was chock-full of bad dialog and bad acting. I was surprised really because Halloween was directed by the same fella, thats why I sat down to watch it.
