Pearl Harbor blew. Moulin Rouge was a unique masterpiece, though certainly an acquired taste. Pearl Harbor used every film cliche and overused technique in the book. Moulin Rouge did things I'd never seen before.

Bird on a Wire. It's one thing to make a bad movie when the people involved have very little money or experience. It's quite another when you have a big budget and lots of professionals with years in the business. I don't like predictable movies. Especially when they have to resort to the "running through the airport" scene at the end. Plus (though I love Renee Zelwinger in "Bridget Jones") I absolutely loathe her doormat, pathetic character in "Jerry McGuire". "You had me at hello". Yuck! Mel Gibson loses all the points generated from "Year of Living Dangerously", "Mad Max", and "Gallipoli" in "Bird on a Wire". Truly horrible. Signals the descent of Mel into hammy, unwatchable performances.

I thought it was brilliant. Innovative, creative, original (including use of modern day music in a period setting), over the top humor and to top it all off, it was a feast for the eyes. A beautiful film.

The whole film reminded me of some jerk telling a totally inappropiate joke to a crowd of people and then when called on it just states "Ha Ha..I was just kidding...Ha Ha.
Yea sure pal...but next time wait until the right audience comes along and also find a better joke.

Just plain annoying.
Normally, I can sit through even the worst movies. And there were a few that I thought really weren't that bad ("Ishtar" comes to mind).
But the absolute worst one has to be "Blair Witch Project". I couldn't even finish watching it.
Nothing like watching someone's boring home movies. I guess that's the scary part.

Edited on Mon Nov-03-03 07:44 AM by nuxvomica
That is the worst movie ever and I think it was supposed to be a comedy. It had that guy who thinks he's a young Jack Nicholson in it. Whats his name? And Jeremy Piven, too. (Why is it that I can only remember Piven's name?)
edit: I shoulda posted to the original message. I was going to applaud the choice of "Unbreakable" if only for the endless, annoying bench press scene. (Coffee. Must....have.....coffee.)

Unbreakable was the classic Comic Book origin story. The problem with those, is they are generally slow-paced and require alot of exposition. Hence why the movie was done that way, at least in my opinion. I liked it :)

20. The Ten Commandments. |
|
And guess who played Moses, Mr. NRA himelf, Charlton Heston. Actually it's a lot of fun if you're with film students. Besides the corny dialogue and bad acting, there are all sorts of inconsistencies, bad special effects and the classic line from Yvonne DeCarlo, boobs bouncing, and breathlessly running and yelling, "There a man amongst the sheep."

Another great line. Also Neferteri's plaintive, "Moses, Oh Moooses," and Yul Brynner's "Let it be written. Let it be done." Way too entertaining and over the top to be on a worst movie list.

My buddy liked to get peoples' dander up by telling him that "the Ten Commandments" was his favorite science fiction movie, with effects like dividing the Red Sea. I think there was a staff that turned into a snake when you threw it to the floor (do I have the right movie?).

32. I gave up on Endless Love very early |
|
It started with a bedroom scene which seemed to make it "Endless Sex" instead. To my memory, there was no sex in the book "That was then, this is now", but they had to put a scene in the movie.
Still, my least favorite movie was "ET" and the more it is hyped, the more I hate it.

It's the "Citizen Kane" of Duck from Outer Space Movies. I think it's a very underrated movie -- it's based on a comic book, for corn's sake -- what were people expecting, Beckett?
And Tim Robbins is in it!

34. Eyes.... wide.... shut.... |

was... the... worst... movie... I... ever... have... seen... Every.... one... talks... like... this... through... out... the... entire... movie...
The worst movie that was good I suppose, but just hard to watch was Salo which has horrifying brutality and there's seen where people eat poo.
Next to that was Harry portrait of a serial killer. That is a great movie, but it traumatized me. The best thing was that there were these kids in the movie goofing it up, making a point of laughing at people getting killed, but there's one scene where they murder a family at random and I could hear the kids suddenly go silent mid laugh and the entire theatre was silent. It is a cold hard non-sensational look at a couple of serial killers. Utterly chilling.

52. Ferris Buehler's Day Off or True Lies |
|
To me, low budget films have to have expectations adjusted downward, so bad low budget films are more acceptable than horrible big budget films.
Both Ferris Buehler and True Lies used ever cinematic and literary cliche in the book and seemed to have been written by computer programs generated from focus groups. Every character is a stereotype, every punch line is slapstick, every emotional moment is taken straight out of a hundred other flicks of the same genres. Hated those films. True Lies had the added incentive of being completely racist and sexist (though, you know, I'm male, so I got a kick out of watching Jamie Lee and what's her name kicking each other in skirts in the back of the limo-- still bad filmmaking.)

61. There's a huge split on that one |
|
I've seen it on a lot of "Best" films, and a few "Worst" films lists. I know I'm on the losing side, but I really, really hated that film. And I agree that the actors were good. It was purely the script and the directing. I sat there the first time I watched it (watched it once more to be sure) and predicted the next line or scene a couple of dozen times. "I don't like isms." Kick the principle in the nuts. blablabla. It's hard to find it funny when it's a predictable as a Bush speech. I couldn't believe anyone liked it.
Then, I like Postman and Messenger, and Moulin Rouge, so I'm just friggin' cracked, I guess.

68. 3000 Miles to Graceland |
|
It is rare when a movie that you expect to be horrible exceeds your expectations. 3000 Miles to Graceland was rare in that it surpassed the "so bad it's good" catagory into the "so bad, it's beyond good-bad, and is just horribly awful" category. There's nothing worse than a movie with no substance plainly trying to evoke positive emotion for dearth of interest characters.
Just a horrible movie. (Yet, I watched the whole thing once)

or Ms., as it may be, you have hit the proverbial nail on its head. Boy, that just sucked.

or as my friends call me, felony.
The worst scene is this awful movie was when Costner and Russel were randomly killing about 50 innocent people and using them for "shields" all set to techno music or something. Then one of them gets shot, and they cut to slow mo with sad, concern sounding music. It was sickening.

92. "Girl", OK. "Chicago", Unwatchable |
|
And, i was on a transatlantic flight when i tried to watch Chicago. It was so beyond what i consider good, that i couldn't watch it despite the fact that i was a captive audience for 6+ hours.
Still, i think Titanic is one of the worst things i've ever seen, particularly given the hype and awards. How that thing won an Oscar is baffling.

I forgot about that awful mess. Prententious, melodramtic, manipulative, just downright silly. Horrendous. Bette Midler has no reason to exist anyway, and the film ruined my former fascination with Barbara Hershey.

Not so much that it was a bad movie... just after all the hype, it kind of left one feeling, well, unfullfilled...

This is the one about the small plane that crashes into the 747. Karen Black, as the stewardess, has to somehow land the stricken 747 (with help from Charleton Heston and George Kennedy) after the 747 crew are all killed.
This movie is so horrible. Gloria Swanson appears as herself (and people keep coming up to her and telling her how good she looks. She didn't look a day over 82), Linda Blair is a little girl who needs a kidney transplant (and who keeps this icky smile on her face the whole time) and Helen Reddy as a (singing) nun!! The movie "Airplane!" parodied "Airport '75"...but the original is unintentionally hilarious. But it is the worst movie I've ever seen.

80. Any John Hughes movie |
|
Okay, if you clip off the last ten minutes of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, that one is passable as a buddy comedy. But all the rest are useless.
The Sixth Sense has absolutely no replay value. You watch it once, you find out Bruce Willis has been dead since the five-minute mark, you throw it in the drop box at Blockbuster--even if you bought it.
I thought Howard the Duck was a cute movie...dumb, but cute. And Lea Thompson was lookin' good in that film!
Robocop 2 and Robocop 3 were both bad. (The original Robocop, OTOH, was great.) Only redeeming feature: the lady mad scientist who ran the Robocop program kept getting sexier and sexier as they went along. A Robocop 4, with Nancy Allen as the female Robocop, could have been entertaining.

82. Godzilla! (Worst Movie Ever) |
|
The Dean Devling/Roland Emmerich piece of shit, starring Matthew Broderick. The coup de grace of this god-awful flick was when Broderick, Maria Pitillo and Jean Reno were trapped in a skybox in Madison Square Garden. Faced with certain peril, Reno throws a chair (or something) through the glass and secures a rope so they can climb down. Pitillo turns to Broderick: "How'd he do that?" Broderick: "He's French." Like I said, Worst. Movie. Ever.
Close second: Destiny Turns on the Radio.

Wasn't it "raining" in every scene obscuring the tacky monster?

84. The Tree of Wooden Clogs |

I'm in a minority on this one; the film typically gets excellent reviews. I can't stand it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077138/Cinematography is top-notch but the film is WAY TOO LONG (186 minutes) and tedious. I almost died watching it.

Full of tired gay stereotypes and lame jokes--no, make that "jokes". This movie came out in the '90s and there was actually a fairly young gay male character swooning over Liza Minelli. The same character later dies and comes back as a ghosts dressed in a white "Cats" costume!!! I can take campiness as much as the next guy but I can only take so much of it and this movie was absolute overkill. To take a line from "Catcher in the Rye": "It was so putrid I couldn't take my eyes off of it."

87. prosperos books or blue velvet |
|
both are unwatchable. I watched blue velvet 3 times just to make sure I wasn't missing anything since every one I know loved that flic.I got most of the references, the dream etc. I still think it's crap, beautiful cinetography, but crap. prospertos books wasn't worth wasting more than 15 minutes on, even with all the naked bodies. for me it exemplifies all this is truly bad about english film making.

93. I almost walked out of "Notting Hill" |
|
...though I suppose it isn't the worst I've seen.
I still resent having spent the evening of my birthday watching "Ricochet." Denzel, what were you thinking?!
"Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" was just plain bad, not even campy fun bad.

100. Of films I HAVE seen: Vanilla Sky. |

Edited on Tue Nov-04-03 02:39 PM by Tyler Durden
Absolutely unwatchable. The wife fell asleep. I had to FF the disc to see how it ends from less than 1 hour into it. A complete WASTE.
Of films I have seen only the previews: Moulin Rouge, Glitter.
The guy in the video store refered to Glitter as "The ENRON of movies." As far as Moulin Rouge goes, I guess if period films with mediocre modern music (I have always LOATHED "Your Song" by Elton John)is an "aquired taste," then I don't care to aquire it. I saw the previews to both, and to be frank, I'd rather sit through a "HELLO KITTY" festival with Barney the Dinosaur.
