I know a WORSE movie. It's... Resident Evil: Apocalypse Just saw this ... ... no way you can compare "Titanic" or "Pearl Harbor" or many of those mentioned in this thread to this one ... I mean, it sucks ... badly. Example: features a sexily clad cop named "Valentine"! It's all downhill from there!
Rich, My son loved that movie. I have never seen it, but since I have watched some of the movies that my son likes, I am more inclined to believe that you are right and the movie totally sucks. I think that my son has the worst taste in movies, but then again he thinks the same thing about my movies.
Love, Kay |

I've been away for a while, but I had to jump in on this topic - one of my favorites. I can think of a lot of bad movies, but my all-time "I can't believe I watched the whole thing" experience was an Oscar nominee, with a respected cast, a director who had done some other fine movies, and a great cinematographer. It's called THE TURNING POINT. It's about a prima ballerina and her "best friend," a former ballerina, and their relationship. Actually, it's about watching two unlikable women (Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft) act catty with one another for two hours, then kiss and make up. Oh yeah, there's also some dancing. The soft-focus photography was so hard on my eyes I literally had a headache after it was over. And the thing got 11 Oscar nominations, but not a single win.

My vote for worst movie would have to go to "Eraserhead" by David Lynch.
I saw it in college at dollar-movie night. I should have taken the hint as audience members, one by one, walked out. I stayed in the hope that a plot, or something, would eventually emerge. Nothing did.
This is for die-hard David Lynch fans, or for people who enjoy bleak surrealism.
As Doc M said, life is too short. I wasted a dollar and 2 hours of my time.

That movie drove me nuts. Fortunately someone else rented it. The crying baby drove me completely out of my melon, had me crawling up the wall. |

I'm with you, Doc M, when it comes to Ben Affleck. Maybe there should be a new poll....what's your "favorite" Ben Affleck movie?!! Yikes. |

Ok so I am the oddball of the entire board. I love Julia Roberts and I can honestly say Leo does not bother me. And Speed 2 was awesome just because it had Sandra Bullock in it. That is one talented actress. I loved Pearl Harbour, Titanic, House of 1000 Corpses, and yes Pretty Woman. The movie I absolutely could not stand watching was THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS....hee hee hee just kidding. Ok so my dislikes.
Pulp Fiction: Why would anyone want to see so much stupid drug use and rape? Beats me. Although the dancing was pretty cool.
Freddy Got Fingered: Yeah I watched maybe five minutes of that and dumped my at the time boyfriend because he thought it was so great. I detest Tom Greene. I mean cmon...what a waste of human life!
The Grudge: Can we say "a replica of the Ring only pathetic" I did not see a real story line to this movie and was disgusted with paying $7 for this thing the Japanese thought was good enough to be called a movie.
Jumanji: Oh lord I can't even begin to say how boring that movie was. Robin Williams must've been desperate for work or something.
I am sure I could come up with a lot more movies to complain about but it would be a waste of brain cells to try and remember. All that matters is The Last of the Mohicans is the ultimate movie! |

Chasis, opinions are NEVER oddball...they're simply your opinion! I agree with you on Freddy Got Fingered and...eeesssshhh..."Jumanji." I did love "Pulp Fiction" and "The Grudge," but as I said, we're all different. "Jumanji" truly was one of the biggest wastes of film I've seen, followed closely by the one Gadget Girl mentioned earlier, "The Hulk," which sucked so royally you could almost hear that Ross-Perot-coined "giant sucking sound" from out in the parking lot. It was right up there with "Batman and Robin" for horrible comic book movies. I hope the next "Batman" is better, and God help us all, I sure hope the next "Star Wars" is better than the last two...anybody hate those? |

I really disliked "Phantom Menace". Despite the ham-handed attempt at a love story in "Attack of the Clones" I found it a much improved effort, still not an all around good film - Hayden Christensen is reeeeeallllly painful to watch and they wasted the talents of Portman, McGregor, and Jackson. Natalie Portman was excellent in "Leon: The Professional", McGregor was great in "Trainspotting", and Sam Jackson is one bad mother-*****(shut yo' mouth). It's as if Lucas said, forget all of your training -go for emotionless and hackneyed. Imagine if Lucas had gotten off his horse and included other people in the creative process. Imagine using actual directors- Ron Howard, Francis Ford-Coppola, Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, David Lynch, MICHAEL FREAKIN' MANN-someone, anyone....GGGRRRRRRaaaaaaaggggggghhhh........... |

I understand that Hayden Christiansen had an acting double in those Star Wars flicks: Manakin Skywalker.
I actually saw none of the listed movies, except for the first 20 minutes of "Alexander." That's all I could take of that dog. |

Had to suffer through all 3 "Star Wars" movies years ago when I first met my husband to be and pretend that I kind of liked them. Honestly, the things we will do to impress someone in the name of love. Now he would never ask me to watch them as he knows better.
Recently saw "Birth" and thought that was a dumb movie. |

'Glitter' ... OMG @ Mariah Carey ... WHAT WAS SHE THINKING??
I liked 'Titanic' too ... but I agree with Steph, the Celine Dion song was the unsinkable part of that film!
Oh ... and I hated 'Groundhog Day'. I am sooo not a Bill Murray fan. |

Oh, and 'Speed 2' was appalling! It just wasnt the same without Keanus wooden 'acting abilities'. The man really only has one facial expression. *But he is cute* |

Tonight seems to be a night for afterthoughts for me. I'd have to add the Monkees' "Head" to the worst movies list. I will admit to having taped it once when it ran on TV on some obscure channel at some late night/early morning timespot. Trot it out every once in a long while just to get a Peter Tork fix. So embarrassing for them. And yeah, I know, that really dates this old budgie. |

Hmmm...
I don't know if this is the worst movie ever but I just saw it so I guess it's foremost in my mind: "Friends with Money." OMG! Two hours of nothing but dysfunctional relationships and friends backstabbing and bad-mouthing each other. There's no character development or even anything that happens in the movie except one awkward conversation after another. It ends in the same place where it started and you're left going "That was it?"
Other movies that top my shiznit list: "Sahara" (though Matthew McConaughey is excellent eye candy ) and "The Cave" (REALLY bad sci-fi flick with cheap special effects). |
