the worst..........

Tom Green

it kills me that he got to marry drew, as well, she is such a cutie, and seems so cool.

there is truly no justice.

what a wanker that guy is, even though he does make me laugh sometimes.

After seeing "Jurassic Park 3" and "A.I." this past summer, I'd rather watch "Plan 9" and "Pink Flamingos" 10 times in a row. Each! If I hear the terms "Summer Blockbuster", "Non-Stop Thrill Ride", or "Ultimate Popcorn Movie" one more time, I'm gonna puke!

ps: I agree, MST3000 is awesome.

I'd have to say "The Toxic Avenger." I have never seen a film where bad writing, bad acting, bad directing, and bad editing all combined to such a repulsive effect.

"Batman and Robin" is also a travesty, partly because it completely ruined Mister Freeze, my favorite character in the Bat-Mythos, partly because Joel Schumachers main interest in making the film was to get as many close-ups of Clooney & O'Donnell' latex codpieces as he could get away with, and partly for lines like "Never leave the Batcave without it" that actually caused me to cry out in pain. Mostly, it's because Schumacher also directed "8mm", which showed us in its Nick Cage vs. The Machine fight at the end what the Batman vs. Bane scene could and should have looked like. (A grim detective in black, obsessed with avenging the innocent, brawls with a silent powerhouse wearing a bondage mask in a dark crime-ridden city... Think about it...)

I also disliked "Tales From the Crypt: Bordello of Blood" even though I really like Dennis Miller, mainly for the scene where he hoses the vampire prostitutes down with holy water. Dozens of women running around screaming in pain and fear while they're bursting into flames and being gunned down is not funny, and should not be portrayed as such.

 

[Slappy McGee]

well, maybe there is some justice in the world.... I just heard that tom green and drew barrymore are getting divorced.

The Rocketeer

That has by far got to be the worst movie that I have ever seen

 

[MadKalnod]

I liked The Rocketeer...

 

[MN Tikl]

Belly of an Architect...

is the movie I hated most. (1987, Peter Greenway Dir., Brian Dennehy lead).

I had a visceral reaction to this film, and actually left the theater in anger, thinking, "what a colossal waste of time!!!" To make matters worse, 1 of the 2 people who joined us on a double date really liked it! So I couldn't say anything too terrible about the movie until I got home. So I continued my slow burn... Warning -- I hated this movie so much that I have a hard time *not* hating anybody that liked it!!!

Showgirls was a close second. I HATED that movie. It practically caused me to lose my sex drive (for a few days) as it was such a perversion of all things sexual...

As for some of the movies listed here, I'm amused to say that I really liked some of those that y'all hated. Toxic avengers is pure camp -- and in that vein I thought it was very funny. Troma pictures specializes in this niche, and they have quite the following. And I thought "Meet the Parents" was absolutely hilarious! Although, I admit, much of the humor comes from very uncomfortable moments. I guess you have to be able to simultaneously blanch and laugh to really *get* the humor in that movie. I'd guess that if you hate "Meet the Parents," you probably also hate the tv show "Everybody Loves Raymond." Both shows deal with very unlikeable people and derive humor from uncomfortable moments.

ROBOT MONSTER was supposedly one of those so-bad-its-good movies... nope. It is truely bad, and not in any funny way. The monster tears off a woman's shirt exposing her breasts ( this is in a 50's KIDS sci-fi movie!!!) but it is o.k., because a big black censor box appears at the right moment. Was this an accident they left in???? A kid and his family is having a picnic and they all take naps at the beginning of the film (The movie is a dream, I guess). At the end, a stranger happens upon the boy and say, "That was quite a knock to the head you took!" Huh? He was eating lunch and then took a nap! What 'knock'? Was it a dream or halucination due to injury? The rocket flying by with it's tail on fire, and the HUMAN OUTLINE being made on the star background as the person holds the burning rocket by a stick and the light angle changes.... oy yoy yoy.

But another bad on was the 80s version of JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. A film that was supposed to star my fave comdeian, Emo Phillips, and launch the acting career of model Kathy Ireland. Well, it ran out of money and sat on a shelf. Early 90's I see it sitting on a shelf in video form... well, you can actually SEE where they ran out of $$$$. The underground sets are huge and beautiful and white and crystaline ( hey- there'e Emo in the background! I saw him..)... but they last for a few seconds - they were put in as dream sequences when the rest of the movie was shot. What they did was went back and sho the underground world on small, dark, dirty soundstages to look like tunnels, and any conflict or romance between the "stars" (unknowns) is, again, show as dreams, while the movie rolls on with some indeciferable plot. People yell at characters offscreen because they couldn't actually afford to put one more actor on camera... we are told about the big army rescue rather than see it because there was no $$ for a big army scene...no Kathy Ireland except for a still cameo on a t.v. monitor at the end..... so cheap... so bad.... It's a movie that you actually can't understand, which is rare.

The worst movie I ever saw was easily "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" ........truly awful

 

[Strelnikov]

I liked "The Rocketeer" too, but I'm a sucker for those old Republic serials (cliff hangers) from the 1940's that ran on Saturday afternoon TV in the 1950's. It helps, too, to have an appreciation for 1930's aviation, and some knowledge of 1930's Hollywood.

5150 is right about "Untouchables". But Connery's character was central to the action, not an obvious afterthought like those other movies I mentioned.

HATED "Meet The Parents". So did my wife. Fortunately, we didn't spend $15.00 to see it, all we wasted was the rental fee and the time.

Just realized that I saw both ROBOT MONSTER and JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH on video, not actually on film. So what movie did I dislike in the theater? DUNE sticks out; I don't worship THE PRINCESS BRIDE the way everyone else on the dang planet does...... SOAPDISH was a rough one..... Don't know; Oh, HOWLING 2 and HOUSE 2 were both bad... I try to forget the bad ones....

I know, I know....I am gonna get slammed for this one.

Honestly though, the worst movie I have EVER seen was Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Maybe it was because I just finally saw it for the first time a couple of months ago, and I have been pampered by sepcial effects and somewhat believable acting....but I think even if I had seen it in my glory gore days (I am a huge horror buff), I still would have been demanding a refund.

Others that come to mind are:

Killer Clowns From Outer Space (I think that is the tital of it)
Spit On Your Grave
Make Them Die Slowly
Wax Works 2

Another is Ed Gein. New release, just came to video recently. If you see this in the video rental place, avoid any temptation to rent it. I know it may SEEM appealing since Ed Gein was the inspiration for Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and for Psycho, but TRUST me on this one, it's pathetic! I live 20 miles from Plainfield, WI....which is where Ed Gein lived all his life, and commited his horrendous crimes. That is why I wanted to see it. But if you really wanna know about Ed Gein, go to the library and check out a book on him. There are tons available!

Speaking of books, I am STRONGLY with Ovda on reading the book "Valentine" over seeing the movie. The movie was far off the topic of the book, and can not hold a candle to the plot and thrills found in the book. A second one to mention is "I Know What You Did Last Summer". That movie was SICKENING, and the book is just killer. Again the movie swayed so far from the original topic and storyline in the book, and simply can not compete.

Okay, off my soap box 🙂

Strelnikov, thank you for showing me that myself and my family hadn't just gone nuts, and were the only people that thought "Meet the Parents" was a complete "I'd Rather Eat a Gun than Watch That Again" movie.

 

[JoBelle]

Anyone remember a special little flick called Hell Comes to Frogtown? Hmmm, how I try to forget. It was good compared to this next one. It is What Planet are You From? Starring the ever-irritating Garry Shandling. It's one of those movies where you think to yourself, "It can't possibly get any worse." So you watch another 15 minutes....and it miraculously DOES get worse...so you think, "Ok, so now it can't get any MORE worse than that. It has to get better." And WOW!!! it DOES!! it REALLY DOES GET WORSE!!! OH MY!! What talent it takes to make a movie this bad!!!" So, you watch another half hour...as it's like a tainwreck, you cant pull your gaze away. You know at this point that it's getting less pleasant as the moments pass, but yet you still hope. YOU STILL HOPE!!! And, guess what? It gets worse. Then it's over....and you sit there thinking...DAMN!!! What a F&*#ing BAD movie! why didn't someone stop me?

So, I thank you for this thread....it's more than a forum of opinion. It's a public service!!
Jo....who is going to finaly see KPAX,....is it any good?
