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

MrBobbyZ · 03-05-2014 9:40am

the Twilight movies, forget the names. Oh how i wish i could forget everything about them!
That said I'm not a teenage girl.

Les Misérables - Worst film ever
War Horse was pretty crap too

Grayditch · 03-05-2014 9:44am

I think some people are really picking movies they think are "overrated".

You'll definitely find worse movies than "Top Gun" if you watch a lot of films. Like films where they can't even gold the camera steady, bad.

The Hell Boy movies have to be up there with my worst of all time. And the recent superman which was just a long series of people being thrown at buildings which then fell down.

Slutmonkey57b · 03-05-2014 9:46am

I don't think so.

For example, Plan 9 from outer space could very well be worse than Raising Arizona, but I haven't seen it.* I viewed the whole "so bad it's good" hype with a cynical eye.

*Also, it couldn't be.

Without doubt the worst I've seen in a cinema was "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". Words cannot describe how bad that movie was. Van Helsing isn't far behind.

Thankfully, I haven't seen the Twilight movies. But I did get a good laugh watching "honest trailers" of them.

MrBobbyZ · 03-05-2014 9:50am

I had completely forgotten about Sky Captain. Aweful muck!

I actually felt Elijah Wood looked more imposing in Lord of the Rings. If they had cast Angela Lansbury in the role, I could have bought into it more.

I put the dvd back in the case and dropped it straight into the bin.

I can only assume Sean Connery really needed the money

Without a doubt the prize goes to director Uwe Boll with his classic starring Jason Statham
In the Name of the King co starring Ron Perlman, Ray Liotta, Claire Forlani, John Rhys-Davies and Burt Reynolds (lol) as the King.

Steaming pile of excrement is being generous to this. If you are feeling brave SyFy tend to show it every couple of months. It makes some of the other suggestions here look like Oscar winners in comparison.

Accelerator.

Starscream25 · 03-05-2014 9:58am

Alien versus predator 2 and pacific rim, just absolute garbage, going in hoping they'd be great didn't help.

In this case, the worst movie I ever saw was a documentary my classmates made in transition year about cleaning up a local river.

I qualified mine by limiting it to big budgets - films which could have been so much better.

I'll never understand why emphasis on beautiful cinematography and sound design are negatives for some people. "arty" is such a non-criticism to me.

Werewolf (1995)

About six years ago this was being shown twice a day for two weeks on one of the sky movies channels. It was/is so bad that I actually phoned sky up and cancelled the movie package in disgust.

Fescue · 03-05-2014 10:20am

Any Star Wars film you care to mention. Never understood the popularity of those films.

Thanks for narrowing down. I had the good sense to not watch that one.

Your opinion, and you are of course welcome to it, but you're wrong!

crockholm · 03-05-2014 10:37am

That I have seen in the Cinema- "Baron von Munchausen","Cloverfield" and "Inland Empire". Actually angry that I had wasted time watching that rubbish and enriching the producers and directors.

jack of all · 03-05-2014 10:39am

I hated "Dogville", but it could hardly be called the worst film I've ever seen. I couldn't see what the big deal was with "The Guard" either....

Shane-KornSpace · 03-05-2014 10:40am

Riding In Cars With Boys.
Scarface (I seriously don't see the obsession with this movie)
Twilight
Amazing Spiderman

Word's fail me at how bad this movie was.

Such an unpopular opinion, but I agree 100%. They are truly awful films. My fella loves them, but whenever he watches them, I have to leave the room, they make me that angry.

Honestly, those films contain some of the worst writing and acting I have ever seen on celluloid. They are adored though (the original ones anyway), for some reason I'll never fathom!

The ending of that movie was hilarious.

The Room.

Quite possibly the worst film ever made, it has a cult following now, they all need their head examined.

Without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen was Glitter, starring Mariah Carey. It's in the 'so bad it's good' category, as it's rather enjoyable if you just laugh your ass off at it the whole way through, like we did.

What makes it even funnier is that Mariah Carey once blamed its poor reception on its release date, which was the day of the 9/11 attacks, but nothing could have saved this movie from ridicule!

Favourite scene: When Mariah and her love interest have had an argument and part ways, but end up writing the same melody for a song independently of each other in different locations. Hilarious stuff!

I have heard similar points being made about Zoolander and 9/11.
