What's the worst movie you've ever seen? (1 Viewer)

[Andy Dufresne]

Let's face it, no movie made before 1980 has stood the test of time.

link.

I don't actually believe that. There are some great old movies. One of my favorite movies of all time is 12 Angry Men. I will say that movies that rely on special effects can be hard to watch years after they were made. Only because special effects are always improving. So we expect a higher quality. The best example I can give is Terminator 2. I remember when that came out thinking how incredible those special effects were. It was mind bottling! But I caught this movie on cable a couple years ago and was blown away at how cheesy a lot of these special effects looked.

But I do still like older movies.

What the HELL are you talking about? x 12

Have you watched it lately? Don't get me wrong, I love this movie. It was on and I told my daughter, "Hey, check this movie out. The effects are incredible." We watched for a while and she goes, "Umm, these effects are kind of cheesy." And she was right. The part where he melds into the helicopter, or actually, any scene where he melds from one thing to another. All pretty bad by today's comparison.

At least once a year.

I suggest getting a new daughter.

Edit: No really. I don't see how you could say anything like that.

Good to have you back and posting wikkid.

and another thing- those stupid black and white movies... lame.

I watched a movie once where you couldn't hear the actor's voices. WTF was that?

The organ players union kept that alive way too long.

Maybe, but, being a union man, it was so sad to go into those 42nd st movie theaters in the 70s and see so many of them playing their organs by themselves with no one to listen.

WHO WILL THINK OF THE MASTERBATERS?!

 

[shadrap]

Good to see this has finally turned into "a recent movie that I didn't like"

Would actually like to see a "Best Picture Oscar winning films that suck" thread. Birdman might just vault to the top.

Ordinary People.

Mary Tyler Moore & Don Sutherland. Won best Picture of Year. Should have slit wrists before watching.

 

[Chaka]

with that list of oldenflicks likes, Andy, i must point you to The Best Years of Our Lives. STILL makes my heart sink and soar.

I think I'd like that one.

In a different vein, though the same era, I'd throw in Stalag 17 as a must watch too.

I had a Mad magazine that did a good Stalag 17 rif.

but if you watch that- then you'll have to watch Hogan's Heroes start to finish.

Thought I'd mentioned it before in the FFA, but Skyline deserves inclusion here. Whenever the subject of bad movies comes up, it's among the first that come to mind for me. Dreadfully boring, laughable acting, uneven special effects, only the barest thread of a plot and a ridiculous ending. So bad.

Objectively speaking, it's probably not as bad as the likes of Manos: The Hands of Fate, but it had more resources and was still terrible. I'm glad that few people even bring it up, 'cause it means that they probably didn't see it.

This thread got me thinking, would it be possible to intentionally create the worst movie of all time?

I surmise it would be as difficult as making a great movie. These kinds of things can't be planned, they just happen.

The challenge would be finding the low point before it boomerangs back up, like "Springtime for Hitler" or Sharknado.

I don't think so. For me, for a movie to be truly terrible, it has to aspire to be good. It's the failure that makes it so horrible.

after hearing people tell me how great the Exorcist was, I finally relented and watched it,YEARS after it came out.

I was like, 'you're joking right, that's scary? " her head spins around.horrible special effects and lousy makeup job done on her.

levitating.oh,whats next? is she going to puke or something.oh,got it.cool.

silliest movie I've ever seen.I mean, just.plain.silly.

same with Silence of the Lambs - I always thought it was when SF played LA Rams and always whooped them..nope.it's a movie apparently.saw it years after it came out.same thing. oooh...farva beans and liver.you're a bad man, Mr. Hopkins..Jodi Foster wasn't anything special in the movie. I just found it to be a dark comedy.only poorly acted and not funny, unlike Fargo..

( Fargo is one of my favorite movies..it's pure genius..Coen Bros)

Both are terrible. Agreed

I just watched Taxi Driver and Scarface today. Both crap.

Dark movies are really tough to pull off IMO. Even guys who are really good at dark comedies or violent films will whiff from time to time. Watching a bad director try to pull it off is almost always cringeworthy.

You really need to lighten up if you don't like Scarface. It's practically a comedy.

Tommy Wiseau needs a part in this movie for it to be a true masterpiece of ####.

Sure it is. Fantastic. Now imagine how quickly and easily it could have spun off the rails into ridiculousness at the hands of a lesser director. Or with a lesser actor than Nicholson. I'm just saying that executing those types of movies is really, really tough.

yeah, these threads bring out the crabby movie snob in me.

I know people watch movies for a variety of reasons, but just because somebody thought a movie was slow, boring, or not as funny/scary as advertised doesn't mean that it belongs in a thread talking about worst movies ever.

As I and others have stated the "artsy" directors that it is popular to list in here are just too talented to be mentioned. Like their movies or not, but the movies of guys like Kubrick, PTA, Malick, Wes Anderson, etc.. are just too well shot and beautiful to look at and don't belong anywhere around here. I guess I just don't know what to say if somebody can't see the difference between Eyes Wide Shut and a Transformers movie.

After Earth & The Last Airbender have to figure prominently into this discussion. They are both slick big budget films that clearly aspired to be multi-film franchises and they not only fell far short of expectations (particularly TLA because it has such beloved source material) but they were simply terrible films. Bad story telling, bad acting, bad everything. I would have no problem listing these two among the worst ever.

And as a bonus they were both directed by M. Night Shamalammadingdong. There is no way this guy gets another big budget film green lighted, it's a shock that he has managed to finagle two films at all considering these were his two previous films.

I did not hit her. I did not. Oh, hi Mark!

I am currently watching this after catching wind of the upcoming James Franco movie based on the book written about the making of this film. This is staggering. I think it may deserve its own thread. I've never seen anything this excruciating in my life. This movie is both dumbfounding and mesmerizing.

Magnolia

The Thin Red Line

Chicago

Couldn't make it through Vanilla Sky.  sorry Magnolia.  Thanks PIK95, I had it wrong.  Vanilla Sky wasn't too bad.

Sorry, I forgot it only nests one quote. It's "The Room" starring, written by, directed by, and produced by Tommy Wiseau. This is so bad it's unbelievable.
