What's the worst film you've ever seen?

Citizen Kane is the Citizen Kane of bad movies.

See also 2001:A Space Odyssey, The Godfather and first sequel, Apocolypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Schindler's List.

I could go on...but wont.

The Exorcist 2 was horrendous.

Indeed, poor old Richard Burton was in it. Man, for such a talented actor he didn't half star in some really ****e movies. Those two divorces from Liz Taylor must have really made him strapped for cash.

Freddy Got Fingered is mentioned quite a bit. Tom Green sexually interfering with a horse and an elephant, not to mention swinging a newborn baby over his head using the umbilical cord :eek: Thank God I haven't seen Tom Green in anything else since.

Year One with Jack Black and Michael Cera was a truly awful film , I'm pissed off with myself that I didn't ask for a refund afterwards. The most drab, unimaginative and boring comedy I have ever seen. It had nothing to recommend it.

AHA!

American Psycho 2

The worst film ever made.

There.

I find the Marvel films pretty bad as well. Not bad enough for this thread, but they're the most insipid series of forgettable blockbusters I've ever witnessed.

Agree with Chicago and Driving Miss Daisy. Chicago is awful and Driving Miss Daisy is just really mediocre. I quite enjoyed Slumdog and Crash (although Brokeback Mountain was robbed the year Crash won).

I'd also add The Greatest Show on Earth and Shakespeare in Love to the list of undeserving Best Pictures.

Yours is post 666, so clearly these must be the most wretched pieces of crap ever, as ordained by Satan himself. Hail Satan.

K-Pax with Kevin Spacey...up there with the rest of the muck

Synyster Shadow

Drive with Ryan Gosling

smilerf

Flash Gordon was pure muck

Ray Palmer

people obviously haven't watched enough movies to see what is truly bad

"Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things"
So cheap they didn't bother giving the characters names and used the actor's names instead

"Invisible Zombies"
Great idea for a cheap movie, virtually no special effects required because the zombies were invisible. The VHS cover it was a drawing and on the back where there was normally a still from the movie was a picture which was a badly cropped part of the front cover.

I remember watching a film with Brandon Lee. The whole thing was filmed on a sound stage. They used lights and shadows on a blank screen to represent where the people were. At one point they were meant to be in a mansion and to represent this there was a shadow of a window frame projected onto the screen behind them. It was like something from Playschool. It was really confusing to watch as they script would had them talking about the beautiful interiors of the room. This included non existing paintings on the walls (no walls nor painting). It wasn't some artsy movie either it was a fung fu one

Philo Beddoe

Closer, the one with Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Owen and Natalie Portman

I don't really like silence of the lambs. I could never buy into Anthony Hopkins performance as Hannibal Lector. Brian Cox in Manhunter played him a whole lot better!!

The guy playing Lector in the tv series Hannibal makes Hopkins look like a cartoon character.

I did like them, but I can see the market being oversaturated at this point an their will be an implosion of sorts. They're power fantasies for kids and teens deep down in my mind. They'ree very much a guilty thing.

If this were the 1980's people would put them on par with the dumb action movie Rambo shoot em up American sorts out the world's problem movies, that came out in the decade.

I suspect 20-30 years from now and we'll think of them think like that(in a so bad it's good), hell I'm already thinking it!

Even the amazing Nolan movies, which I watched recently again, look a bit naff already, for all the pretensions of grounding the world, it sort made worse than if they said "look a man in a batsuit, let's go mental"

What happens if we're all living in a utopia 30 years (unlikely from now will seen indulgently brooding, just as we look at the Reeve Superman in the opposite way now as naive and optimistic

this thead is just one big "________________" is worst movie i have ever seen.

the fact that se7en, star wars, requiem for a dream and memento were mentioned as "worst ever movie" shows that some people here have no taste whatsoever.

Whispered

Just watched "the punisher". Up there for one of the worst films I've seen.

billy the squid

two that come to mind are INLAND EMPIRE and Donny Darko

retro:electro

Worst movie I've ever seen is 'Knowing' with Nicholas Cage. Literally couldn't believe what I was watching. Utter sh1te

allibastor

Nothing left to fear.

And generally any film where the complete lack of common sense makes me turn off the tellybox.

The Big Lebowski

Nothing in it. Hate the Dude.

Anyone who does not like requiem for a dream needs a long hard look at themselves!!

While I'm here...some advice please

I've just finished watching the Godfather 1&2 for the first time....I no, I no, what have I been doing with my life etc.

I personally preferred Godfather 1, mostly due to Brando but everyone has their favorite.

Should I bother watching the 3rd film or is it a pure waste of time, I've heard good and bad news so not sure If I want to throw 3 hours of my life away. The fact that it was released 15 odd years after the 2nd is really putting me off!!

dark crystal

Watch it, it's not nearly as bad as people like to make out. I think because the first two are generally regarded as modern masterpieces, the third one pales somewhat in comparison. That doesn't make it a bad film in itself, though.

Some casting and pacing issues aside, I very much enjoyed it.

maxwell smart

Got to be the Horse Whisperer. I wasted 2+hours of my life for that crap and nothing happened in it!

Chicago. I think It was given to that film because it was post 9/11 and the most cheerful of the bunch against the likes of The Pianist and LOTR:TT
I thought while Chicago as stage musical works, that film was tripe. Nice,
but never Oscar best picture standards
over Peter Jackson or even Martin Scorsesies Gangs of New York

Haha I literally can't understand the premise of that movie:

"Hey guys remember that guy that we fūcked with last year who we absolutely should not have fùcked with and ended up killing most of us?"

"Yeah..."

"Let's fûck with him again!"

The Invention of Lying is the only film I've actually walked out of in the cinema ... if something is really bad I usually just go for a snooze but that was so annoyingly terrible (and such a wasted, potentially great storyline) we just upped and left!

Godfather 3 is really underrated, well worth a watch.


Aside from some of the special effects, 2012 is the worst film that I have ever seen, along with the last two Transformer films, the first one was bearable.

And the last Indian Jones film was a shocking pile of crap, I just wanted to punch Shia LeBeouf right in the face.

Any film on tv3 to be honest.

Without a doubt 47 Ronin was sheer affrontery to my delicate sensibilities. Just pure muck that somehow managed to have the most overwrought overlong ending of any movie.

That was excellent and a true story. Off beat so jars with some but not what I would call a bad movie.

I think Sofia Coppola bars alot of the negative association a bit unfairly too, I mean fair enough she's not a great actress, but I think you could probably have stuck anyone in there and their impact wouldn't have been much more. It's still a poor movie compared to the other 2 that went before and I think alot of people just felt let down by it obviously.
