Worst Movies ever!

[Mickey'sMainMami]

I am stealing this idea from another thread that was titled worst movie endings. I loved that thread, it's true that you may be into a great movie, and then BAM, baaadddd ending! Totally ruins the whole movie. So I thought I would start a thread with movies that were terrible from begining to the end with nothing good in between. Here are a few of my non-favorites.

1. Vanilla Sky - I watched it and realized it was a waste of a good 2 hours of my life

2. Eyes Wide Shut - 1 word, Stupid.

3. HOuse on Haunted Hill - Why does it seem that every scary movie nowadays is dumb?? Why do they always have to over think everything?

4. Black Christmas - Good concept of the girls getting killed in the sorority house, but like I said they just over think everything.

5. Gigli - Need I say more?

6. Glitter - Mariah Carey should stick to singing

7. Showgirls - Elizabeth Berkley was terrible

8. Staying Alive - Poor John Travolta

9. The Blair Witch Project - Duh

10. Waterworld - What was Kevin Costner thinking???

Believe me there are a ton more I could name, but these are some that really stuck out in my mind. These were ones that I really wished, that I could get the time back that I spent watching them. I would love to hear your lists!

The worst movie I ever wasted a couple of dollars to rent was CLOSER. Horrible, I was watching it with my husband and I was turning red in the face. Didn't know that could happen after 18 years of marriage! Kept watching thinking it just had to get better. Finally had to turn it off I just couldn't make it through that movie.

The most recent horrible movie I watched was Crank. TERR.IBLE.

I walked out of the theater during Down to You with Julia Stiles and Freddie Prinze Jr. That's probably the only movie I've ever left during!

I'm sure I can think of more, but those are the first two that came to mind.

And for what it's worth, I really liked Blair Witch and Eyes Wide Shut!

The Worst Movie of All Time (and yes, I'm pretty sure it actually held this title for at least a while) is:

Manos: The Hands of Fate.

It was filmed on a $19,000 budget with a camera that only recorded 32 seconds at a time - with no sound. They went back over it in production and 2 men and 1 woman dubbed all of the voices. It is beyond atrocious, and if you ever watch it, make sure you watch the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version. At least with that one, you're less likely to run from the room screaming.

I hated--absolutely HATED!--the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I was dragged to see all 3 against my will. The third one was the worst. I was pregnant and the horribly long movie wouldn't end. I had to walk out of the theatre because I was so uncomfortable and the movie was wretched. DH got mad at me because he missed the ending. I told him he could have finished it because I just needed to get the heck out of dodge.

I just tried to watch the new Hairspray last night and I thought it was awful too. I loved the first one, so I should have guessed I wouldn't have liked this one. JT was really creepy and annoying.

Mystery Men has to be one of the WORST things I have ever seen.

 

[Jennasis]

Ah Yes...Manos: Hands of Fate, featuring Torgo and his "knee music"!

Worst movie ever?

The Thin Red Line. Half the audience left in the middle, one friend went out into the lobby and read a newspaper, my other slept, while the few remaining folks and I kept screaming for George Clooney to show up as we had heard that he was in the last 10 minutes of the film and we knew when he arrived that it was nearly over.

This first one that came to mind was the remade Yours, Mine, and Ours. I loved the original and thought it was a vey well made movie, one with an actual story and characters you could, in fact, care about. The new one tossed out everything that made the movie good and just kept the basic plot- two people with lloads of kids get married. That's all they had in common, except that the dad was military in both. Not that it mattered. The new one was so dull and uninteresting and lacking any sort of personality that I stopped paying attention fifteen minutes in and only half-watched the rest. But I could still tell how bad it was. :\

Yul. About 1981/82. Story of prisoners released on weekend pass from a Turkish prison. Half way through I realized that in a packed theater, only I and one other person were awake. Shortly thereafter that one other person stood up and yelled, 'This is the worst movie EVER MADE!'

The Weather Man with Nicholas Cage. The trailer was totally misleading in that it made the movie seem like a comedy, which it was NOT. Not only was it replete with the f-bomb every other word (which is a clear sign of lack of creativity), the characters were all sad sack losers, several of them were contemplating suicide, the sun never shone once, and the two children were both used for sexual titillation. The teen boy was shown being 'groomed' by his drug counselor/pedophile and the 12 year old girl's contribution to the film was a lengthy discourse on her camel toe complete with a widescreen close up of her camel toe. Although I am sure it was a body double's genitalia, it FELT like I was unwittingly watching child porn. I flinched and turn aside and I saw everyone else in the movie do the same. At the end of the movie, many people demanded their money back. The guy behind me said, "I don't know why the main character didn't commit suicide because after watching this movie about his life, I want to kill myself."

I started watching Down to You also, but I stopped and turned it off halfway thru too, it was just soooo boring to me.

As for Blair Witch, I liked the concept, and I liked more when they first started promoting it and they were saying that it was a true story and it was found footage from missing kids. I was just disappointed when I found out it wasn't true, and I think since it was a scary movie, they should have made it scarier. Anyway, these are the movies I didn't like, but of course everyone has their own taste. Eyes Wide Shut, I read alot about it before I even went to see it, and I guess I just didn't get it, that's probably why I didn't like it.

Vanilla Sky - I watched it and realized it was a waste of a good 2 hours of my life
Eyes Wide Shut - 1 word, Stupid.

Gigli - Need I say more?

Showgirls - Elizabeth Berkley was terrible

The Blair Witch Project - Duh

Waterworld - What was Kevin Costner thinking???

Have to agree with you on these. I didn't see the other ones on your list.

I also didn't like Fargo.

 

[GoldenAfternoon]

Eyes Wide Shut

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

I agree with The Weather Man. Ugh.

I can only think of one other movie that I really hated, but I can't remember the name of it.

 

[Golf4food]

I walked out of the Blair Witch Project. Only time I've ever done that.

Manos: The Hands of Fate - definitely the worst ever. Mystery Science Theater 3000 even barely makes it tolerable the movie is so bad. You have no idea. You must go rent the MST3K version of this movie - not the original, you might hang yourself! - and watch it... and then spend the rest of your live wondering, "Why? Just... why?"

Buffalo 66, what a waste of my life as well as Dt T and the women. I mean really the Dr gets swept into a hurricane from TX and is left in Mexico and it's no big deal?!.

 

[RVGal]

Howard the Duck - That scene where he gets "excited" and his feathers stuck straight up on his head... just the thought gives me the heebie geebies...

Krull - I was enticed by the cool video game, but the movie... ugh.

Cabin Boy - I like Chris Elliott and I tried... I really tried... but bleech.

 

[SandraVB79]

I liked The Blair Witch project and Thin Red Line.

However, I hated Knockoff (with Jean-Claude Van Damme) and the House of Wax (I should have known it, although Paris wasn't to blame).

A lot of people had warned me to not see Vanilla Sky, am glad I didn't.

I also once saw one with Catherine Zeta-Jones, and I think George Clooney, where they get divorced and married and divorced. It was so dumb...

Oh, and Ace Ventura! But I don't like Jim carrey (Except for the Truman show)

You guys obviously need my DH to go to the video store for you. I swear, they have a box there just for him where the worst movies made are stored and they only pull out this box for their "special" customers. These are movies you have never heard of, and for a good reason.

Two outstanding choices have been Apolocolypto Warriors and Posse. Check them out sometime, if you can find them. His last bad one was a Russian subtitled movie about vampires. I didn't watch it long enough to catch the title.

On a sidenote, DS31 works in the movie industry in editing. He has a credit on Vanilla Sky so we actually went to the theater and paid to see that piece of @*!p and had to sit through the entire thing and a bunch of the credits to see DS's name come up on screen. After that, I told him I didn't love him enough to sit and watch for his name anymore.

 

[RVGal]

Wait! I forgot Black Dog. I mean, I tried to forget Black Dog, but *poof* there it appeared from my memory banks again. Patrick Swayze, Meatloaf, Randy Travis, big trucks and lots of stuff blowing up. I think it was written for Kevin Sorbo, but they had to come up with a last minute replacement and Patrick Swayze was the only person who didn't laugh when they called.

Dr. T and the Women---AWFUL!!!
