SIS - Worst Movie Edition
by jch24 on Feb 25, 2010 9:01 AM EST
1000 comments
Inspired by muffins' comment in another thread, I ask you fine people - what is the worst movie you've ever seen and why?
For this cinematic aficionado (yeah, that's the ticket), I nominate Serpent & The Rainbow and Wendigo, as they're the only two movies I can remember completely bailing on. I can usually zone out and amuse myself somehow.
EXTRA CREDIT: If you had to suggest one newer movie for me to watch, what would it be and why?
Please note: My exposure to crappy movies is limited as I'm not a big movie watcher. I'm also aware that this has probably been covered on the site somewhere/sometime before, I don't care. We have a lot of new folks milling around and I'd like to hear their opinion.

Last movie I walked out on was Full Frontal
Way too much Hollywood navel-gazing for my taste. And talk about a misleading title!
Pretty much any movie on Sci-Fi (Syfy?) Saturday afternoon
Vampires: Los Muertos – staring Bon Jovi
Leviathan – best last line of a movie ever: “Say ‘ahh’ MOTHER FUCKER!”
Mansquito – best taunting of the antagonist: “Hey! Mansquito!”
C.H.U.D. 2: Bud the Chud – tremendous zombie work
Pterodactyl – starring Coolio
I could go on.
Calmer than you are.

I'd forgotten about 'Leviathan.'
It was bad. And IIRC it was one of those really dumb sci-fi/horror movies that never really resigned itself to being a really dumb sci-fi horror movie.

Yeah, it had no idea where it wanted to go.
But the guy from RoboCop kept trying to make it a respectable horror / drama movie.
Fail.

Reminds me of 'Outbreak.'
I remember thinking that it would have been a lot better movie (more original, anyway) if the A-list cast would have just gone completely campy with that script.

I had one on the other day while i surfed
It was a bunch of National Guard troops in a SW desert. They were being picked off by mutant looking guys living in old mines. There was a great scene where a guy is hanging off a cliff and one of the cave dudes lift one of his arms than hack it off. As his grip slips on the remaining arm, he waves bye-bye with the guys hacked off arm. How can anyone not like writing like that?
I've seen that movie!
It’s called “Cincinnati Reds at the Trade Deadline.”

Oh, the horror....
The aforementioned Soy Cuba and The Swan Princess would make my list in a heartbeat. I’m also still mad that I spent money to see Meet Joe Black and Can’t Hardly Wait in the same year.
But my friends and I watched a lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000 in early college, so I’ve seen some true doozies, albeit with snarky commentary included. The only specific title I remember was Manos: Hands of Fate, which a lot of people consider the ultimate worst movie ever. I also remember several movies featuring Joe Estevez, Martin Sheen’s less accomplished brother.
Aaand I also worked at summer day camps for 3 years, so I got the pleasure of seeing such quality children’s cinema as Spy Kids 2, Scooby Doo 2, and Ice Age 2. Awesome.

Damnit, I forgot Meet Joe Black
I became an instant villain to the females in attendance when I laughed loudly when Pitt got creamed by the bus.
3.5 hours later I was trying to figure out a way to hang myself with licorice to end the entire experience. The things I’ve sacrificed for women in my life, jeez. :)
I think most animated films are pretty well done, I like that they aren’t limited by physical trappings.

Yes!
Morbidly funny!
That moment in that movie was supposed to have shockingly KILLED Brad Pitt and every inclination that every woman might have that this is going to be a movie about how great it would be to date and fall in love with Brad Pitt.
But Pitt screwed it all up and still spent the rest of the movie asking every woman with a ticket to date him and fall in love with him.

I didn't watch The Simpson's until I was 20
I started watching them because my then girlfriend had them on DVD, so we would waste time watching The Simpsons.
Now I am kinda hooked. What is brilliant about The Simpsons is it has crude humor that will make a mouth breather like ’Than laugh, but it also has smart humor that intelligent people will only understand.
The best episode is about the Dental Plan.

i don't know where slenderized camed from
but in all honesty; they used a number of standardized tests when they tested me for A.D.D. I was diagnosed with A.D.D. because I would score really high on a test one week, and I would take a different version of the same test 3 weeks later and score really low on it.
My tests scores tend to be like Bronson Arroyo’s pitching.

HEY! 'Meet Joe Black' is not a bad movie!
I’ll beat this drum until they lock me away!
Seriously, watch it again and assume the old man to be the main protagonist. He’s dying. He knows it. He’s angry about it but he’s always been a graceful gentleman and he doesn’t want his family to see him be anything but.
Ignore all those awkward/stupid Brad Pitt-eats-peanut-butter-for-the first-time ‘scene stealing’ moments. Because Brad Pitt is so likeable he gets in the way of the metaphor that (IMO) Anthony Hopkins wants him to play.. “Death is a know-nothing sombitch who’s is stealing my time with my gorgeous daughter. Her new know-nothing boyfriend better be able to take good care of her.”
Death is not her new boyfriend. Death just comes along at the same time as her new know-nothing boyfriend.

The Estevez movie was called Soultaker

All time worst movie? Ramon Girl
New movie you should see? District 9 was awesome, Drag me to hell was super scary as well.
I've heard conflicting reports on district 9, and figured drag me would be silly, a la paranormal activity

There Will Be Blood – I don’t know, people thought this was good. I thought it was horrendous, including Daniel Day-Lewis’s performance. No plot, no character development. All it had going for it was some pretty scenery and that “milkshake” line, which isn’t even that good in the movie’s context.

youre the first person ive ever heard say didnt like TWBB
i thought it was pretty easily the best movie of 2008, and i thought daniel day lewis’ performance was one of the best id ever seen. im sure im not the first person to make that argument to you though
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
Actually, no one's really challenged me on that. I'd love to hear why it's so great.
Aside from the four people I went to see it with (2 liked it, 2 hated it— no one explained why) I don’t know anyone else who’s see it. I don’t mind a movie having very little plot, but then I need to have believable characters who either grow or reveal more about their motivations over the course of the movie. Daniel D-L’s character was revealed as a greedy, conniving bastard from the first few minutes of the movie. What was the point of those 2+ hours, then?
The parts with his kid were mildly interesting. The fact that the same actor played two characters was unnecessarily confusing.
by the finest muffins on Feb 25, 2010 1:52 PM EST up reply actions
paul dano is the worst part of the movie for me
i agree on that.
i pretty much loathe pseudo-intellectual movie analysis, but without overthinking it, i just found the whole thing really powerful. his character doesnt change at all, but i dont need that. i think you can throw it in a line of great-american-dream movies/books in which a character (SPOILER ALERT) becomes wildly rich and successful before alienating all of his friends and dying a lonely death (citizen kane, great gatsby). visually, its a beautiful movie. and i just like it
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
Fair enough.
It might have worked better for me if he didn’t start out as a jackass, or if we got some insight into his motivation besides “I’m a greedy jerk and always have been.” But we’re all entitled to our opinions.
by the finest muffins on Feb 25, 2010 2:39 PM EST up reply actions
i adore TWBB
its a character study of a sociopath. its criticism of the destructive power of greed. it depicts the subtle interplay of power between two people. there is a subtext of the hypocrisy of organizaed religion. i think its one of the greatest acting performances ever. visually i find it stunning. opening a movie with 20 minutes of no dialogue takes massive balls.
a lot of people dont like this movie, i can understand. it doesnt do much of anything on the surface.
i think its the best movie of the past decade.

DO NOT WATCH THE SIMPSONS ON HULU!
They only have the last five episodes, and I cannot stress enough how shitty the Simpsons has gotten. Watch anything from Seasons 3-10 (maybe 12), and it is absolute genius. Anything after that is worse than a catjacking.

It's ok, but the show hadn't really hit its stride
It’s trying a little too hard to be earnest or pass commentary, and the animation is pretty poor. With the next season or two, it all clicked for them, and the messages would slam home with much more force and it seemed like they weren’t even trying.

Mom and Dad Save the World – starring Lovitz, Teri Garr, Jeffrey Jones (the principal from Ferris Buehler and a child molester or something now), and Kathy Ireland’s first movie role…i think.
I love stupid movies as much as the next person but this was beyond awful…this movie dragged on for what seemed like forever without one single laugh. No amount of alcohol could’ve saved me.
Bonus for worst current movie: Paul Blart – I didn’t make it past the first 10 minutes
That was actually Kathy's 6th movie.
The only watchable thing she was in was the formulaic Necessary Roughness in 1991.

It's a Paul Verhoeven sci-fi movie, the guy who directed Robocop and Total Recall.
Which means that it includes:
1. Futuristic gadgets in everyday life.
2. Communal showers/locker rooms, with no one noticing. (Missing from TR)
3. The use of nudity and sudden, gory violence as a tool to shock and manipulate the audience.
4. A feeling of never taking itself completely seriously, though seldom transparently so. The man makes movies, not films.
5. Large, scary machines and/or creatures attacking over-matched humans, often winning.
He’s one of my favorites. :)

Well, Adventureland won me over like Zombieland because it starts off with a kickass tune
In this case, “Bastards of Young.” But it’s about this kid that just graduated from a liberal arts college in northeastern Ohio and is planning to travel Europe before starting his graduate work at Columbia. But there’s money troubles, and he has to move back to his parents’ house in Pittsburgh instead and get a summer job. Nowhere will hire him, except for the theme park, where he works the carnival games. And then he spends the summer with the weirdos and misbegotten geniuses at the theme park, the mouthbreathing Steelers fans that visit the park, and falling intensely in love with the chick from “Twilight.”
They drink, do some casual drugs, listen to good tunes, and kill a summer in America’s sweatstain. Maybe it’s just that it reminds me a lot of my experiences, post-graduation, but I really dug it. It’s funny, it’s sweet, and is a good look at the small risks and small rewards that come when you’re not aiming real high.

I think I worked with that director on a music video in 1997.

it means they don't want you linking their images
It steals their bandwidth, which they have to pay for.
So if you try to post a “hot link” to one of their files, it automatically re-directs it to a photo they hope will embarrass you into not trying it again.
This is fairly common, and sometimes the photos are much worse than that one. For this reason, I usually test image links before posting them.

I liked it more than most
because like Clooney’s character I’m a lawyer named Massey. I saw it with my finacee several months before we got hitched. I got a lot of mileage out of the “Massey prenup” lines. But the movie itself was pretty decent. Probably as good as a rom-com can get.
I kinda liked it too.
Liking George Clooney movies is my quirky thing. Maybe if he had been the Dude I would have liked Lebowski. I watched TBL drunk one night and woke up the next morning wondering how hammered I must have been to have not liked it. So I put the movie back in and watched it sober. Still hated it.

Battlefield Earth might be the worst movie made in the last 30 years.
I had to watch that monstrosity for work…it took me all friggin’ day, cuz I needed to repeatedly break away from THE SUCK. I work with clever advertising wordsmiths all day, and we were all speechless at its indescribable crapitude. It was genuinely difficult to convey.
I’ve only walked out a movie once, and it was The Two Jakes, the sequel to Chinatown. I left about 30 minutes in, after EVERYONE ELSE IN THE ENTIRE THEATER HAD ALREADY WALKED OUT. And I was only last one out because I was seeing it for free.
I didn’t make it more than a minute into Blood Diamond. Not only is Leonardo DiCaprio miscast as a bad-ass at 116 pounds, but the movie starts with the gory slaughter of women and children. I wasn’t looking for an uplifting, life-affirming flick, but don’t go all nuclear on me in the first minute.

Galaxy Quest
is the only movie I’ve ever walked out on. Probably not on many people’s worst-ever lists, which is probably because no one has ever seen it. It isn’t even bad enough to be funny, so it has absolutely no redeeming quality whatsoever – that’s the worst kind of movie.
That's interesting to hear.
I love Galaxy Quest, but I expected to hate it. It’s the best example I can think of where the promos did absolutely nothing to promote what the movie was about. I had no idea going in that it would be a parody, or even a comedy at all.

Movies you like that were filmed in black and white
The corniest and/or sappiest movie you like
Movie lines that made you laugh or stick in your head – the one I’ve been using as a generic response to the old ball and chain: blah, blah, frickin blah – Chev Cellios
I'll go
1) The Last Dragon
2) Independence Day, Shawshank Redemption, Caddyshack, Hudson Hawk, The Simpsons Movie and a slew of others
3) Clerks
4) Lilo & Stitch

3) too many to list
4) Zombieland
5) “Loud Noises”

Nice job Petey
and I must say that I am shocked at a Herve movie in there.
Now where’s the guy with all the chimp pictures.
Forbidden Zone is a tough movie to get through the first time.
The first twenty minutes are absurdly odd, with adults playing both parents and children, and a song in French. It’s riddled with politically incorrect humor, potty humor, topless ladies, animated segments, and tons of weirdness. It also features Danny Elfman’s very first film score, which includes him and the Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo doing a cameo song…with Danny playing the role of Satan. But unlike off-putting movies such as Eraserhead and Brazil, the plot DOES make sense…once you’re past the first twenty minutes.

3) I guess The Haunting counts. I also like Go For Broke!, a movie about 442nd Regimental Combat Team. A WWII regiment made up of Japanese-Americans that become most decorated military unit in US history.

Keanu Reeves is like Livan Hernandez
I mean, really, why do they keep running him out there? You KNOW he’s gonna suck.
The only movies he was good in were the Bill and Ted’s, because he played a guy who was so clueless, he was only vaguely aware of the action occuring right in front of his eyes. I tend to suspect it was typecasting based on his true persona.
He was also good in the first half of the Matrix, when he was a guy so clueless he was not even aware of what was real before his eyes. Until the part when he caught on. Then he was terrible.

Worst:
Dumb and Dumberer….was supposed to be a prequel to the original…..didn’t laugh a single time
Best recent movie is Taken
Some say a comet will fall from the sky. Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still. Followed by millions of dumbfounded dips**ts.

Dumb and Dumberer
was indeed truly awful. Which was disappointing (but not surprising) because the original is one of the best movies ever. With that said, one of the scenes that I’ve laughed the hardest at is in Dumberer.
The worst in recent years
“Beauty Shop” with Queen Latifah and Alicia Silverstone, and an assortment of people trying desperately to be funny/provocative/sincere inside a plot that doesn’t exist.
The worst of all time was allegedly “Plan 9 From Outer Space,” and I’d probably agree.
I just knew that I would now be having train sex with a very odd broad in no time. I didn’t expect the bitch to shoot me though. (Pops Daniels)
There was also that movie where Queen Latifah was dying
Totally unrealistic. Everyone knows black people don’t go skiing.

Reminds me of a joke I heard @ Brew Ha Ha in Hartford last year:
Comedian: So, I’ve found that I don’t like to read, but my wife wants me to read more so we have stuff to talk about, like I want to join a book club or something… but anyway, I found this bookstore the other day, and it had books which were only a couple pages long. One of the titles caught my eye in the travel section: “Black people I’ve met while yachting”.

Year One. my wife and i wanted to go to the movies, but she had already seen The Hangover so we saw Year One instead. we walked out 45 minutes into it and walked over to The Hangover. only movie ive ever walked out on at the theatre. Harold Ramis is dead to me. it felt like the script was 20 pages long with a rough story outline and directions for Jack Black and Michael Cera to just do what they do. and then they ate shit.
incidentally, it made The Hangover that much better for me. im still horned off that it didnt get an Oscar nom.

This is what one esteemed reviewer had to say about the film Up
I went to see the film Up. So here’s my review. The doggie was cute, Ed Anser was not. The movie was extremely well executed…but trite and hackneyed. A one star rating…warning do not take kids over the age of 11 to this film…they’ll spend the whole movie eating p-corn and farting and making fun of the boy scout.
Up is truly one of the l;amest movies I've been forced to sit through
For some reason known only to Satan the FMM thought it wasn’t terrible and wanted to stay.

Still though
The writers had complete creative control over the script and thus full capability to make the healthcare system look bad . . . and it all came down to Denzel filling out the wrong form when he was electing his medical coverages?

Another odd case of Hollywood casting a bunch of tiny boys as bad-asses.

I’ve been about par on getting assigned to shows that stick. Only 1 out of every 4 to 5 shows lasts more than a season. Since ’06 our studio has assigned me to Pushing Daisies, Big Shots, Eastwick, Traveler, Fringe, and Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles. I loved Daisies and grew to appreciate SCC & Fringe, but the other three were doomed by bad writing and/or acting.

The third season, or something like that. He was a scrawny little runt, and a martial arts master took pity on him and taught him how to beat up guys much bigger than he was.
They did seem to have it all planned out. (Unlike, say, Chris Carter and “The X-Files.”) When “Traveler” was canceled, the show creator posted what they had planned for the entire series, including Traveler’s true identity. Just to give closure to the fans. I thought that was really neat. He had moved on, all the actors had moved on, but they wanted to do right by the fans who were left hanging.

I don't watch movies that often
And when I do, they tend to be really cheesy horror flicks on Saturday mornings on the Sci-Fi Channel. There are probably a lot of movies I really hated, between friends and family dragging me to the theater, movies watched for classes, etc. But I don’t recall them very well (not least because I usually fall asleep before it’s over).
One movie that I remember as being really, really bad was “The Big Chill.” It’s supposed to be a good movie, and I know a lot of people found it hilarious, but I found it mind-numbingly dull. Just a bunch of boring people having boring conversations. Near as I can tell, nothing actually happened. “Infested,” a parody of the"The Big Chill" where killer insects show up to liven things up, was awful…but better than the original. (And it starred Robert Duncan McNeill, AKA Tom Paris of Voyager.)
Under the “so bad it’s good” category: a movie called “Python.” A snake the size of a 747 gets loose and begins terrorizing teenagers, as such monsters are wont to do. It starred Jenny McCarthy, Wil Wheaton, and Chris Owens (Agent Spender from “The X-Files”). Wil Wheaton quickly died an ignominious death – a moment Trek fans had long dreamed of. It really was a ludicrous movie. The heroine is attacked in shower, and the giant snake very helpfully allows her to get a towel and wrap it around herself before attacking. She spends the rest of the movie running about over hill and dale…dressed in nothing but a towel. It was obviously glued into place, because there was no way it would stay on otherwise. Another funny moment: a bunch of young people jump on their bikes to flee the speeding snake (which can outrun cars), and they stop to put on their helmets first. I’m as safety conscious as the next person, but common!
The “that’s racist” award: A movie called “Dr. Black and Mr. White.” A scientist invents a potion that turns black people white. Unfortunately, it also makes them homicidal maniacs. Lots of tedious scenes where a former LA Ram who’s been dipped in flour staggers around hospital corridors.
Foreign film award: I can’t remember the name of this movie, but it was a horror flick that involved penises that detached themselves from their sleeping owners and went around raping people.

Your foreign film mention (which sounds fantastically awful, by the way) reminded me of another “it’s acclaimed, but I hated it” movie— La Belle et la Bete, the 1940’s French “Beauty and the Beast.” It’s supposed to be this paragon of cinematic excellence, but I found it barely watchable. Which reminds me for some reason that I also hated Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I didn't like Close Encounters, either
Actually, with only a few exceptions, I’m not that wild about Spielberg in general.
And another strange foreign film I somehow ended up watching: a Japanese anime called “Boku no Sexual Harassment.” Which I gather means, “My Sexual Harassment.” About a pretty young man who sleeps his way to the top. His boss is mean to him, rapes him, and pimps him out to other men to secure business deals. (Let’s just say I’ll never look at an ear of corn the same again.) And yet, you’re supposed be happy at the end, when the boss proves he really cares about the guy he’s been harassing.

Hm, a few worth mentioning...
The absolute worst movie I’ve ever seen is Adam Sandler’s 8 Crazy Nights. I should’ve expected that going on, but it truly brings nothing to the table.
I also can’t stand any of the Lord of the Rings movies, though I don’t know that they’re really the “worst” movies, just dreadfully boring.
I just saw Legion a couple of weeks ago and it was an absolutely abysmal movie.
Other piles of shit I’ve seen recently include The Informant, The Goods, and Gamer.
Honestly, it’s hard for me to come up with a list of bad movies, since I tend to only see them once then generally expunge them from my mind.

I've always thought
Most people prefer any book over the movie, especially if they read the book first.
I figure it’s because each person sees the scenery and characters slightly differently in their mind and are inherently disappointed when the director’s vision doesn’t match their own.

I disagree.
Since the book is (almost) always better, I’d prefer my unspoiled, no-preconceived-notions experience to be with the book.
Best case scenario: read the book, then wait at least 6 months to see the movie. By that time you’ll only remember characters, themes, and the basic plot, which is what the movie’s most likely to keep anyway.

I confess, I don’t really care about the plot, acting, etc. I just like to watch the dinosaurs. So I guess better animation is better.
I never really liked the trailer over the cliff scene, though. It just seemed over the top. I liked the T-rex chasing the jeep in the first movie. And the way they know she’s arriving when the ground starts to shake, causing ripples in the puddle.

Funny anecdote:
Jay Mohr was talking to producer Joel Silver (Die Hard, Predator, Brewster’s Millions), and Silver asked why Jay hadn’t done more films. Jay countered that he had an upcoming independent film coming out.
Silver bellowed at him, “Who are you, Parker FUCKIN’ Posey?!? I make BIG movies!”

Actually, I’m a big early Tom Hanks fan…loved him in Bosom Buddies, Joe V. Volcano was good.
It all turned for me when Forrest Gump happened. Most overrated movie……ever. What a steaming pile of crap. Then he wins back-to-back Oscars with Philadelphia and gets all arrogant and full of himself. I went on a Tom Hanks boycott after that. I think “You’ve got Mail” is the only Hanks movie for which I’ve broken the boycott. Never seen Castaway, The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, etc.

Hmmph. "I have no response to that."
Except I do. Joe Versus the Volcano is underappreciated genius. The scene with Joe’s spiritual awakening is hauntingly beautiful, on top of which the movie is hilarious and quotable (“I’m not arguing that with you!”). And the luggage! How can you not love the luggage? I kept wanting that to show up in Castaway.

I don't know the names of any of them
but you can flip on the Lifetime Network and see the same movie with a different title that hurts my brain. The li’l woman doesn’t watch them, but she often has something like that on. I walk in the room and ask what’s going on in the show.
Her: talking
Me: about what?
Her: relationships

Upon further review I would like to nominate
The Lady in the Water. Utter shit. Painful. Also, Sex and the City made me want to kick a puppy.
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.
The SaTC movie
and 500 Days of Summer both made me want to kick main characters, hard.
I mean, Jesus. You didn’t get married, Carrie! Get the fuck over it! You don’t need to mourn for a year!
And that guy in 500 days…ugh. That movie certainly didn’t redeem itself by being one big setup for perhaps the worst final line of all time.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
500 Days of Summer was utter bullshit
its the only time i can remember the imdb viewer ratings has failed.

She enjoys playing cards, eating shrimp at Red Lobster and watching “The Price is Right” and “Wheel of Fortune,” but says, “If I had my way, I’d discard the TV and cell phones.”
TV, because “the commercials are terrible.” And cell phones, because people “don’t need to be riding in a car and listening to a telephone.”
