What are the worst movies you have ever endured?
In the warped nature of my brain's funtioning, I was just reading about the small pox vaccine, and into my head popped the scene at the beginning of Cry Baby, when the entire school was getting vaccinated...
Cry Baby, Johnny Depp's hottness aside, is possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It definitely makes my list of top 10 movies that I'm not sure how I actually sat through the whole thing...
Off the top of my head, another movie that makes me want my 2 hours back is Gigli. This movie was utterly AWFUL, and I was sick in bed and 4 am, waiting for it to get better, because it just had to, but it never did.

EllieJay, I don't want to insult your intelligence....perhaps you already know...but just in case you don't know...John Waters' movies are all intentionally bad. He makes them as campy as can be, as obnoxious as can be, and as low budget as can be.
Me personally, I enjoy them because I have a juvenile sense of humor. But I certainly don't bestow the "genius" label on him that some of the "artsy" crowd does (methinks FPY probably has a John Waters shrine in her home). I just think he's a guy who likes to piss people off by making campy and sometimes foul movies. As a matter of fact, I'll willing to bet that John Waters even laughs at the people who think that he's some kind of twisted genuis...he probably thinks to himself, "These idiots treat me like the Jack Kerouac of film making, when really I'm just a guy with a fucked up sense of humor."

I think the idea of that movie is similar to the goal of John Waters movies.
My idea of a REALLY BAD MOVIE, is a movie that expects the viewer to take as a serious film-making effort. Having said that I don't necessarily think that B-Movies, purposely made as B-Movies qualify.
Historically, when people think of BAD movies, they think Ishtar, Best Defense, etc.
The most recent movie I've seen, that I would say is a BAD movie was The Black Dahlia with that Josh Hartnet kid. The movie was like watching paint dry, and it had so much promise.
Another REALLY REALLY bad movie was Failure To Launch - major promise, no follow through

Ohh YEAH!
I liked Pearl Harbor better the first time when it took place on a boat on a collision course with an iceberg.

Any Eddie Murphy movie in between post Beverly Hills Cop/48 Hours era....in other words, when he tried to become the black Cary Grant.

Lord of the Rings. I call it Bored of the Rings.
Old School was painfully unfunny. Hated it. I also did not like Pulp Fiction.

Loved Pulp Fiction when it came out in the theatres. Unfortunately it has been played out...to death. I have yet to see ANY of the Lord Of The Rings movies made by Peter Jackson...but I'd gladly watch the old animated series from the 70s made by animation/claymation Holiday Childrens Show specialists Rankin and Bass.  |

That's because you can't say "Johnny Depp's hottness aside..."
Johnny Depp's hottness is exactly jow you sat through the whole thing. Johnny makes anything watchable.  |

And "ditto" on Pearl Harbor. I didn't even like it "the first time when it took place on a boat on a collision course with an iceberg."

Tom, you have got to be kidding about Pulp Fiction. That movie was awesome. The whole scene with Samuel L when he's yelling at that guy. "What ain't no country I ever heard of".

Pulp Fiction was a damn good movie. What about that scene where Travolta is having a normal conversation and accidentally shoots that guy in the face? Hysterical.

I wasn't so into the Lord of the Rings movies either. I didn't really get how people loved the books and the movies. There were people that thought those movies were incredible, and they did get great reviews. I wasn't a big fan.
I think by the end of the third movie, I sort of got what they were shooting for, but I wasn't impressed.

I found the Lord of the Rings movies to have a wonderfully soporific quality. Nothing else has made me fall asleep so quickly or sleep so soundly!

My brother must be really mad, what with both you and me crapping all over the Lord of the Rings films.
I actually DO like that style of book, although I have never read the Lord of the Rings tomes. But I have read and enjoyed similar fantasy fare. But the movie did nothing for me at all, and I hate that stupid Bilbo Bopp character.

I've come across some really, really bad movies as a result of getting the wrong version/remake of a horror movie. Annoying as that may be, I usually find that in being really, really bad movies, they tend to unintentionally be really, really amusing movies. I have a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 mind.
I think one of the worst movies I've ever been forced to see in theatres was I <3 Huckabees. Its failure was even given a shout out (check it out, I'm gangsta) in the Poltergeist episode of Family Guy.

I kinda liked I <3 Huckabees.
I tell ya what - the BEST bad movie ever is Evil Dead 2...yes 2. The first movie, I think, tried to be a legit horror movie. With 2, they realized how bad it was, rolled with it, and increased to ridiculousness. While the 3rd installment, Army Of Darkness was OK, the joke had sorta run it's course.

I DVR'd Syriana and watched it with Dave this weekend, or rather watched about a third of it before my head started to ache and spin, and I simply had to close my eyes and take a nap.
One more white-text-on-white-robe-subtitle, and I think I would have lost my ability to fight the nausea. The rapid shifts between stories, characters and subplots was truly dizzying, made worse by intermittent and unexpected bursts of subtitles.
By the time I had figured out who most of the players were and what their purpose was, I was so pissed off by the sensory torture and anti-American undercurrent, that I just wanted this garbage off of my TV.
I am not so uncultured that I cannot handle subtitles, but in this case they were horribly done, and simply served as a serious distraction from an already overly complicated work.
Dave was actually able to follow it and he enjoyed the story, although he said he was left feeling very uncomfortable when it was over.

Fantastic Four is the worse movie I have ever seen. i like some really bad ones. Any fucking movie that has writing so bad Dr. doom is a pussy, and not even called Doctor should be burned. Come to think of it, any movie with Jessica Alba is horrible with the exception on Sin City.

So check it out...this one had been backed up on the DVR for a while now. Last night clock struck midnight, and I flipped it on.... JOLLY ROGER - MASSACRE AT CUTTERS COVE  You know, your typical pirate come back from the dead tale. Bottom line, he needs the 16 heads from the ancestors of his crew (who washed up and settled on Cutters Cove) to throw them in his dead mens chest to get his gold. Typical campy fare complete with terrible pirate outfit. One funny scene was after Jolly Roger wreaked havoc inside of a strip club, and the owner was describing him...."yeah, he was wearing some kind of pirate costume....it looked really gay." It got the biggest laugh from me when Roger busted into an office to kill this guy, and the guy mistook him as a costumed singing telegram guy. Roger blasted him with his pirate gun, and the guy drops to the floor, howling in horror, "what kind of singing telegram is THIS?  " Really bad movie, included some kids partying on the beach and everything. The scenes of the heads getting cut off were the only thing jolly in the movie, along with the "security camera" that was set up in the strip club that managed to film Rogers rampage from 7 different camera angles, for the cops to watch later. Find it! Watch it! |

I agree with James that FF wasn't that good. Obviously, the storyline has potential, but the problem is they strayed too much from what made it popular in the first place, and yeah, Dr. Doom being a pussy is a waste.
Hopefully FF2 will be better with the Silver Surfer storyline.
But I disagree that it was the worst movie ever. You should try finding the Fantastic Four movie from the early 1990s--so bad, it was never released. I've seen it.

Um, I know it was a while ago but what exactly did I do that brought on the wrath of Tom? This is worst movies ever seen thread right? Open discussion? Where the hell else should I have posted? Christ.
Anyway, I saw bits and peices of that shit back in he day, yeah it was bad, but I guess the hype last FF got made it an even bigger let down to me. That said, Silver Surfer looks pretty fucking cool, the effects alone will be awesome. As for the movie in general, if it's half as bad as he first one, it would still be a waste of money.

The 10 worst movies I've ever seen, in alphabetical order:
Basic Instinct 2
The Blair Witch Project
Domino
Dude, Where's My Car?
The Fifth Element
Morte a Venezia
La Pianiste
Single White Female
The Sixth Sense
Swordfish
This list is, as ch0 suggests, not including lousy B-movies, the worst of which I'd still take over these 10 wastes of time and money.

How could you put Dude, Where's My Car? on that list?
I'm shocked. Sure, it's not an Oscar level movie, but it had its moments. It was kind of funny in a stupid way.
I'm not saying it's a great movie, but it shouldn't be on any all time worst movie lists.
You want bad? Deuce Bigalow: European Giggalo.
I also disagree with Sixth Sense. The repeat watchability factor isn't there, but I thought the ending was pretty well written. Even if you pick up on it the first time, it was a solid film.
Nurse Betty sucked ass.
