WHAT IS THE WORST MOVIE YOU EVER SAW?

[Stuart G]

i WALKED OUT OF A MOVIE ......CALLED ..".PSYCHO,"..
i HATED THIS MOVIE FOREVER...!!!!
i DID NOT SEE THE END OF THE MOVIE FOR 28 YEARS... I WALKED OUT IN 1960 OR 1961...

AND I SAW THE END OF THE MOVIE IN 1988.

[msongs]

1. in what way was it worst? nt

[Stuart G]

3. i didn't like it and made me anxious and also depressed. It was awful.

[ificandream]

66. That's a shame because I thought Psycho was brilliant.

I remember seeing the ads saying don't come in late and all that. My parents wouldn't let me see it when I was young. I didn't see it until later. I loved it. Especially the end.

[Walleye]

2. I hated "Training Day". You would think any thing with Denzel Washington would be good but it wasn't

[LakeArenal]

4. Zuma Beach with Suzanne Sommers.

[Ilsa]

12. That looks HORRIBLE. I skipped through it over 5 minutes

and couldn't find anything worth watching. Must be one of the most boring films ever made. Lots of scenes with SS driving. 1978 flick with no minorities.

[Hstch05]

5. Give My Regards to Broad Street

was a movie staring Paul McCartney that came out in 1984. It was promoted as a wacky caper movie about missing master tapes. I was 14, and loved the theme song ("No More Lonely Nights&quot and was in the middle of a major Beatles phase. I went opening weekend with my friend Tim. We made it @ 35 minutes in before walking out. It was just awful .

[Freddie]

58. I adore McCartney

And I made my (then new) husband sit through it at the movies. Music: great. Acting and plot: truly awful. He must have taken the hint because that was his last acting role.

[ificandream]

59. My friend and I went to a preview screening of this movie.

We could tell early on this was an awful film and we were making comments to each other. Finally, a big burly guy in front of us turns around and says, "If you guys don't shut the fuck up, I'm gonna beat the crap out of you." We did. But yeah, it was dreadful. And I'm a longtime Beatles fan.

[ProfessorGAC]

90. Yeah, That's Pretty Bad

Sgt. Pepper with Frampton is pretty awful too.

[3catwoman3]

6. Forest Gump always comes to mind first, with...

...The Deer Hunter being a close second.

[Redleg]

38. I never did understand why The Deer Hunter was popular

I just don't get it.

[underpants]

45. I bought a VCR tape of it while I was in the Army

I tried to watch it several times but never got through it. It just seemed to go on forever.

[Redleg]

49. I watched it with some army buddies

I didn't care for it then or now. It could have been a better movie had it focused more on the difficulties that returning veterans faced in adjusting to their civilian lives. Instead, to me it was just weird and unsatisfying.

[efhmc]

7. Just curious. Did anyone here ever ask for your money back?

[Scrivener7]

8. Inception. Blech.

[oswaldactedalone]

9. Cable Guy

with Jim Carrey. Wretched movie.

[DBoon]

10. Blair Witch Project

[av8rdave]

19. I never understood what was supposed to be frightening about it.

Random scenes of people acting scared. Yawn.

[Demovictory9]

34. Running around in non-scary woods...houses were feet away

[rurallib]

64. Yup - so overhyped for a guy with a shaky VCR camera

[Delarage]

101. I loved it

Apparently you either loved it or hated it; I am firmly in the "Loved it" camp!

I was supposed to go camping a week or two after seeing it and almost decided not to. It was much more frightening to me than slasher movies. Those I hate.

[cloudbase]

11. Howard the Duck

The feature film on my Japan Air Lines flight.

[BOSSHOG]

13. Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958)

The props were quite a chuckle. It was a really bad movie, but its badness made it hilarious. Ergo I’ve failed to answer your question.

[ailsagirl]

81. I was just going to say it was hilarious!!

Ridiculous, but funny (funnier than most comedies I've seen).

[BOSSHOG]

94. On further contemplation

I’d highly recommend it for the short period of comic relief it provides. A person needs that on occasion. Not the worst I’ve seen.

[betsuni]

118. I've never seen it.

After I married my Japanese husband his Brit friend who'd kept in touch after returning to London sent him a movie poster from "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman." I couldn't decide whether it was hilarious or sort of offensive.

[BOSSHOG]

120. It's all things to all people

It’s hilarious, offensive (the poster) poorly produced. Just plain silly good.

[betsuni]

121. No, I don't mean the movie, I mean the friend making a joke by sending the poster

as a marriage gift that I was the 50 foot woman attacking my poor husband. Stereotype of Americans as big, loud, aggressive. Pretty funny.

[Earth-shine]

14. Zardoz comes to mind.

I imagine that for some, the appeal was Sean Connery running around like a mostly naked James Bond with long hair.

[electric_blue68]

15. 😄 I never saw it, and I thought he looked terrible!

[Earth-shine]

16. Every woman whom I ever heard voice an opinion about Mr. Connery thought he was f*cking gorgeous.

And I just have to remind them he believed it was okay to slap women when they get emotional.

https://people.com/movies/sean-connerys-romantic-past-his-troubled-first-marriage-and-comments-on-domestic-violence/

[electric_blue68]

17. Well, 😄 not This woman. Ugh, as far as the slapping thing goes. Eff that!

[Diamond_Dog]

28. Like John Wayne putting Maureen O'Hara over his knee and spanking her.

Eff that and eff John Wayne too.

[Redleg]

36. I noticed this for the first time just recently

That scene really bothered me and struck me as old-fashioned misogyny. It didn't have the same negatively visceral impact when I saw it as a kid.

[Diamond_Dog]

42. And you know what? Just about every man who sees that

will say she deserved it, because she antagonized him, etc. NO. Even when I was a child I hated that kind of scene I don’t care who it was and it always made me dislike the “Duke”. I’ll bet a lot of men fantasized about doing that to a woman. HELL NO.

[Redleg]

51. Lot's of misogyny seemed to receive little notice in those days

I guess I am more "woke" to it now than I was before.

[electric_blue68]

72. Sounds about right 👍

[whathehell]

111. He never did anything for me...

I could see that he was what might be called "conventionally handsome", but he left me cold...I much preferred Roger Moore's James Bond over his.

[SharonAnn]

18. You beat me to it.

[marble falls]

37. I loved it. If they'd spent less on the domes and a little more on the script it'd be a classic.

[Ohiya]

105. I liked it too.

Wouldn't mind seeing it again..

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. Dead Heat

[marble falls]

39. Anything with Joe Piscapo after SNL is crap.

[Mad_Dem_X]

21. A horrible "comedy" called Dream A Little Dream

Starring the two Coreys - Haim and Feldman. Just terrible all around.

[chouchou]

22. Blair Witch project. One of the most idiotic scripts ever.

The witches are coming tonight. We are sure of that. Let's take turns watching out for each other.
No, No, No..I have a brilliant idea...Let's all go to sleep!!

Dear God, I wanted to thrown my drink, candy bar, popcorn and even my date at the screen.

[DBoon]

65. I kept hoping the Heather character would get killed

so at least the movie would end

[skypilot]

23. Skinamarink

Last edited Tue Feb 20, 2024, 05:06 PM - Edit history (1)

It's about two children trapped in a house where all the doors and windows have disappeared and they are trying to find their parents. It is allegedly a horror movie. It was hands down the most boring and ridiculous thing I've ever attempted to sit through. One static shot after another of dark corners, doorways, ceilings, floors, and furniture. Every now and then the two children would appear (only their feet, actually) and whisper to each other about something strange going on. It's the rare kind of movie where you could start it and then go walk around the block a couple of times and you wouldn't have missed a thing when you got back. I tried watching it at home and late at night because I could tell that it was going to be kind of a slow-burning mood piece but I had no idea just how slow it would end up being. It took me three attempts to watch the thing and I dozed off every time. Skip!!!

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21307994/reference/

On edit: If you are ever having trouble falling asleep Skinamarink is streaming on HULU.

[Alpeduez21]

24. Tootsie

Walked out half way through. Just didn’t like it thought it was stupid and boring

[ailsagirl]

82. I thought it was pretty hilarious in parts

Last edited Fri Feb 23, 2024, 08:27 PM - Edit history (1)

[mucifer]

104. I thought it was pretty sexist. It took a man to solve women's problems.

[ailsagirl]

122. Good point

[choie]

117. I thought Tootsie was brilliant!

N:t

[Drum]

25. Battlefield Earth

[bucolic_frolic]

26. Attack! of the Killer Tomatoes

but it was parody so it was supposed to be bad

[Wicked Blue]

30. Same here -- and I loved it!

[bucolic_frolic]

41. I never knew there were 3 sequels, and the helicopter crash was real!

Return of the Killer Tomatoes! (1988)
Killer Tomatoes Strike Back! (1990)
Killer Tomatoes Eat France! (1991)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_of_the_Killer_Tomatoes

[Itchinjim]

27. "The Boondock Saints"

The silliest/stupidest movie I ever tried to watch. Made it about 30 minutes before I walked out.

[Permanut]

29. The Creeping Terror..

I'll put that up against any movie for worst ever, and that includes Plan 9 From Outer Space.

[Botany]

31. Pennies From Heaven with Steve Martin

I still wake up screaming at its memory.

https://mubi.com/en/us/films/pennies-from-heaven

[TlalocW]

115. Steve Martin expressed his feelings about the film not doing well

In typical Martin fashion.

I'm disappointed that it didn't open as a blockbuster and I don't know what's to blame, other than it's me and not a comedy. I must say that the people who get the movie, in general, have been wise and intelligent; the people who don't get it are ignorant scum.

[doc03]

33. That is hard question, so many choices. I watched one

I think was called Under the Skin. I never figured out what it was about. There was one with the wrestler
Roudy Roddie Piper, I don't think he spoke one word in the entire movie.

[marble falls]

44. They Live, maybe? One of the best low budget movies ever made. Piper was great, he was so clueless about movie acting ..

... he understated his part so well. I watched that one almost at gunpoint. I knew it was going to be bad. But then it was a pretty good movie.

[ProfessorGAC]

91. Agreed!

It was actually good, and they made it for a buck & a half.

[Ninga]

35. The Aristocrats - a movie featuring many famous

Comics telling the same dirty joke. A filthy disgusting joke. Walked out in less than 5 minutes

[barbaraann]

40. Maybe "The English Patient."

Is there something wrong with me?

[Blue Owl]

67. Nope, nothing wrong with you!

[barbaraann]

68. Thank you.

Sometimes I wonder about myself.

[ailsagirl]

83. Nothing wrong with you!! For me, it was one of the most boring...

[Lochloosa]

43. Boxing Helena

[marble falls]

46. Ray Milland and Rosie Greer in, "The Thing With No Head".

?si=J9POXfuwKcjb56B5

[Celerity]

89. I think you win, just wow!

[marble falls]

93. It was trainwreck into a lake of acid bad.

[underpants]

47. Probably Pearl Harbor

I joke that half way through it, I started rooting for the Japanese. I thought it was finally over when Alec Baldwin shows up as Doolittle and I let out a groan - I knew we had 30-45 minutes of movie left.

Packed house opening weekend. We went with another couple and the only seats we could find together were like 4 or 5 rows from the front. My wife hated it more because the couple in front of us smelled of BO AND patchouli.

[thucythucy]

48. The Green Berets.

John Wayne pretending to be a war hero and spouting right wing propaganda.

[brush]

69. Yep, anything with John Wayne. And Charleston Heston too.

I could go on but those two wingers are at the top of my "never watch a second of" their movies list.

[Dear_Prudence]

50. Superman ?

One of the Superman movies where you wore those 3-d glasses in the theater. The motion made me seasick so after a few minutes of "flying", I had to wait in the lobby while my family finished watching the movie. I am no Lois Lane.

[ET Awful]

52. Velocipastor

Yes, it really exists.

[lastlib]

53. ZARDOZ

WORST. MOVIE. EVER. End of discussion. An absolute WASTE of celluloid. Sean Connery should've been too embarrassed to ever work in movies again for that horrid POS. GAWD, it was awful. It was not only bad, it was cosmically stupid.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[beaglelover]

54. Melancholia

[CanonRay]

55. The Last House on the Left

I walked out.

[ailsagirl]

84. It was absolutely nauseating-- we walked out after 15 minutes or so

Really sick

[hunter]

56. 1984. I saw it in a big downtown theater soon after it was released.

There was only one other guy in the theater and he left about half way through.

Zardoz is a treasure compared to this.

[NCDem47]

57. I have only walked out of one movie in my life...

2003's Cold Creek Manor with Sharon Stone and Denis Quaid. I have sat through A LOT of Hollwood crap (I'm a sucker for sticking out anything), but this one takes the cake. Looked over to the person who went and saw it with me in the movie theater and I said, "Want to bail?" And we walked out.

I haven't seen a movie in a theater since Knives Out just before all hell broke loose with COVID. Just NO desire to be in a theater with people any more. Wait for everything to come out on demand at home.

[bedazzled]

60. Summer of sam

God, it was gross. Skulked out after five minutes, hoping no one would see me.

Didn't like wolf of wall street either.

[The Blue Flower]

61. Chorus Girls

"poison nipples?"

[Freethinker65]

62. Flash dance, Shakespeare in Love

Hated both.

[ificandream]

63. Great Balls of Fire with Randy Quaid

Except for the music, I hate, hate, hate this movie. I'm a big Jerry Lee Lewis fan and was looking forward to seeing it. It was awful. Randy Quaid portrayed Jerry Lee Lewis like he was playing Pat Brady on The Roy Rogers Show. A "duh, what's up" guy. It fictionalized Jerry Lee's story. I read that even though Jerry Lee did the music and appeared in a music video for it, he later disowned it. Can't say I blame him.

[WestMichRad]

70. Apocalypse Now

Utterly repulsive. I walked out with about an hour to go, and have no interest in ever seeing how it ends.

[av8rdave]

74. If you haven't yet, read Conrad's "Heart of Darkness"

Having read it makes the movie much better IMO.

[quaint]

71. Spy Smasher (1942)

?si=1Q6y69Fow-PMXVxK

If you make it through the trailer, no need to watch the movie.

[limbicnuminousity]

73. Devil's Rain

I was 7 and my mother was afraid to see it alone in the theater which made me a captive audience. Will really skew your view on Captain Kirk. There are worse films out there for sure, but imagine seeing this on the big screen at that age:

The Devil's Rain is a 1975 supernatural horror film directed by Robert Fuest. The ensemble cast includes William Shatner, Tom Skerritt, Ernest Borgnine, Eddie Albert, Ida Lupino and Keenan Wynn. John Travolta made his film debut in a minor role. During filming, Travolta converted to the Scientology religion after co-star Joan Prather gave him a copy of the book Dianetics written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.[3][4][5][6] Satanist Anton LaVey is credited as the film's technical advisor and appeared in the film playing a minor role. Although it takes place in an unspecified part of the American Southwest, the movie was shot in Durango, Mexico.[1]

A curse affects the Preston family, caused by their betrayal of the Satanic priest Jonathan Corbis in colonial New England. Corbis has harassed the Preston family for generations to obtain a book containing the signatures of the members of his cult which bind their souls to Satan. Corbis captures patriarch Steve Preston, who is allowed to escape to warn his wife Emma and son Mark. He tells them to give the book to Corbis, before melting into a waxy substance. Mark advises Emma to keep the book hidden and entrusts her to family friend John. However, moments after he leaves to meet Corbis, he hears Emma scream and returns to find the Satanists have abducted Emma, leaving John bound, hanging by his feet and terrified.

In a ghost town in the desert, Mark challenges Corbis to a battle of faith. Corbis leads Mark to his cult's church where he reveals that Emma has joined them, as reflected by her now eyeless face. When Mark refuses to do the same, he is surrounded and overwhelmed by Corbis's followers.

---and so on. The memories are bizarre.

[av8rdave]

75. Casablanca

Just can’t seem to stay awake through that one. Wooden characters, predictable story. I know Bogart was a great actor, but IMO this movie wasn’t one of his better performances.

[marmar]

76. Joe vs the Volcano

[TrunKated]

77. ET is the worst popular movie I ever saw...

What parents abandon their kid on a dangerous alien planet without a communicator or a tracking device. Then you find out the ugly piece of wrinkled plastic can fly. Why should we have worried for it at all. BLECH

[Beartracks]

123. My thought was ET was one of a group of explorers accidentally left behind...

... when their team had to quickly evac to avoid discovery by humans.
I never had the impression he was a kid left behind like Kevin in Home Alone.

=======

[Beatlelvr]

78. A toss up

Between No Country for Old Mean, and Glen Gary Glenross

[ificandream]

99. Did you see "Give My Regards to Broad Street"?

Given your monicker, just wondering ...

[keithbvadu2]

79. Don't remember the movie but do remember the price. 35 cents on base 1969. Walked out.

[Jamesm9164]

80. Independence Day (nt)

[LudwigPastorius]

85. Agreed.

I got suckered in by the trailer, only to find that it was essentially the equivalent of a shitty made-for-TV movie with expensive special effects.

Even Brent Spiner and Jeff Goldblum couldn't make me sit all the way through it to the end.

[JoseBalow]

86. So many great movies in this thread

I can't even...

[pansypoo53219]

87. i was gonna say braveheart, but i remembered mad max.

but too many.

[Celerity]

88. Most Woody Allen films. Most overrated director ever IMHO, and a POS human being on top of that.

[betsuni]

119. One of my favorite movies is "Midnight in Paris."

Also love "Annie Hall," "Manhattan," "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Interiors," "Crimes and Misdemeanors," "Another Woman," "Whatever Works."

[Upthevibe]

132. betsuni.....

"Midnight in Paris" is one of my very favorites as well....

Hannah and Her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanors," Radio Days, Bullets Over Broadway, and others are some of my favorites too.

[ProfessorGAC]

92. My Wife & I Walked Out Of Titanic

We were laughing out loud at the overacting, and the forced dialog.
We were making others around us annoyed with our constant criticism, so we left.
When it came on HBO, we gave it a 2nd shot. 20 minutes in we knew we were right in the first place.

[VGNonly]

95. Night of the Lepus

Mutant giant rabbits terrorize a small town. Unbelievably bad!

[Emile]

96. Chariots of Fire

Boring as hell.

?si=SL78aiyYsttb3wFX

[debm55]

97. The Matrix.

[mucifer]

106. Liquid Sky

[ificandream]

98. Another one ... "The Three Stooges," the Fennelly Brothers disaster.

There were so many things wrong with this. It was not the tribute to the Stooges they claimed it was. As a Stooges fan, I was heartbroken at some of the gags in it. I was amazed that the Stooges licensed their names and likenesses to this. We felt like walking out ten minutes after it started.

100. oy. i forgot jurasic park. encounters of a 3rd kind?

[RandySF]

102. Mission to Mars

[PJMcK]

103. Inception

Weird story with a stupid ending:

“And then I woke up…”

[Ohiya]

107. Eraser Head

I wouldn't watch it again if you paid me a hundred dollars!

[macwriter]

108. remember the movie Beyond the Valley of the Dolls?

that was a real stinker.

I also hated The Aviator. Storing the bottles of urine was really weird.

Surprised DiCaprio agreed to do it

[chowder66]

109. Splice. Saw it at the drive in.

Convinced my friend to come up with our own dialogue to get through it while we waited for the feature movie.

[if..fish..had..wings]

110. Zsazsa Zaturnnah Ze Moveeh

Oh, it's a musical

[waldnorm]

112. Rabbit Test

From the late 70s. Horrible movie on the first pregnant man. Close runner up is Chu Chu and the Philly Flash (Alan Arkin and Carol Burnett could not save the horrendous script).

[yourout]

113. Ad astra, The happening.

[TlalocW]

114. Rooster: Spurs of Death

I went to college in southeast Kansas - Pittsburg State University - in the early 90s. That's when Mystery Science Theater 3000 got its start on Comedy Central making fun of bad movies, and I was a fan. When I graduated, my friends got me the worst movie they could find, and it's connected to the area. It was filmed in the 4 states area and was produced by and "starred" Gene Bicknell, a local rich big shot who was known for bailing out members of the football team when they got arrested for public drunkenness, etc. It's superficially about cock-fighting with many different subplots swirling around a scheme to make it big in that world.

I still have the VHS tape.

[Beartracks]

124. Loved MST3K!

[LonePirate]

116. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie

It was based on the tv show but I had never seen the show before watching the movie. It was supposed to be a comedy. I never laughed once or understood what was going on for the entire movie.

[yellowdogintexas]

125. Pocket Money, which should have been good: Paul Newman, Lee Marvin & Strother Martin

It was horrible.

Last Tango in Paris

Fellini's Satyricon

Zabriski Point

[wolfie001]

126. 2,000 Fools

[Freddie]

127. The Passion of the Christ

Nothing but bloody violence, I don’t remember the story (although I know it well!) Not surprising that the actor who played Jesus turned out to be a flaming RWNJ.

[lynintenn]

128. That was my choice also. I think if you were beaten that badly you would lose consciousness.

[ItsjustMe]

129. Calamity Jane (2024)

Calamity Jane (2024)

I have to confess, I did not watch the full movie. I quit 15 minutes into it. The writing and the actors were so bad, I wanted to throw a brick Into my screen.

[sakabatou]

130. The Last Airbender

[BBbats]

131. Santa & the Ice Cream Bunny.

Marketed as a Children's film.
Not even entertaining in it's badness. Think it came out in 1974 & made on as low a budget as possible. There's actually two versions with a different movie within a movie taken from a defunct Florida amusement park.
Don't bother. Just don't!

[maxrandb]

133. I think I just watched it

Drizzly, cold, dreary day predicted, so I was at the library and picked out a movie called Poisoned Rose.

It had John Travolta and Morgan Freeman in at, so I thought, why not?

It was like a Mickey Spillane book made into a movie by a Junior High After School Film Club.

You know it's bad when even stars like Travolta and Freeman can't save it.

[Tom Kitten]

134. Manos: Hands Of Fate

Translated from Spanish its title would be Hands: Hands Of Fate.
I admit to enjoying a bunch of "so bad they're good" flicks (several mentioned here as well as some classics which make me wonder but not going there) but this one is so slow and so bad and so inept the MST3K version is actually an improvement. Ed Wood is Howard Hawks compared to whoever made this. Books have been written about how bad this movie is.

[GenThePerservering]

135. Bridget Jones Diary
