Spare us please!!!! What is the worst movie you ever saw...or even your worst 3?

The Thief, The Cook, His Wife, and Her Lover

[cherrypie7788]

The Time Machine (the new one)
Master and Commander (I went to see it with my parents, I slept through half of the damn thing)

[WildIrish]

The Thief, The Cook, His Wife, and Her Lover (definately a bad movie!)
Johnny Mnemonic


and probably the worst movie I've ever seen.....

Being John Malkovich :bang:

[wyndhy]

i liked being jon malcovitch...huh...just goes to show...

worst 3, kinda recent: bubble boy, sky captain and the world of blahblahblah, and son of the mask (okay...it isn't out yet but c'mon this movie is gonna suck. :D )

[Aqua]

I got your back wyndhy... I really liked Being John Malkovich and I am betting Son of the Mask is gonna suck pondwater.

Anywho... what movies did I hate?

Blair Witch Project (Can't believe I paid to see it in a theater)
Short Cuts
Johnny Mnemonic (I'm with ya on this one WI... but I knew it was bad before I watched it)

[WildIrish]

I'm sorry, but I just could not get in to Being John Malkovich. I tried...right up to the closing credits I tried. Not every movie I watch is superficial, so I know I'm capable of enjoying one with content. ha ha

[BIBI]

A Polish Vampire in Burbank ...yes it is a real movie

Eraserhead
...a David Lynch movie that STO said he understood but would never explain it to me (so he said and I do have my doubts LOL)

Howard the Duck

[WildIrish]

OMG....Punch Drunk Love!

Did anybody get that movie?

[Sugarsprinkles]

Creature From the Haunted Sea
Schlock

and one of the funniest, but also worst porn movies ever made....................Chatterbox. About a woman with a talking pussy. Hysterically funny, but still just an awful movie.

[Cassiopeia]

More recent films I'd have to go with: Stepford Wives, Mystic River, and Gothika.

[FallenAngel5]

OMG... recently my friends and I rented The Core as per a recommendation... worst movie EVER. Though probably because we're such nerds and couldn't get past the scientific inaccuracies... :)

[osuche]

The Thief, The Cook, His Wife, and Her Lover


MAN...that was BAD. I'll vote for that one too

2. Wag the Dog
3. The MTV Punk'd thing...don't remember the title....

[wyndhy]

got another...pat-that SNL skit turned movie...oooo that one stunk.

[Pita]

We just saw Hero and that sucked
I also don't like any of the above mentioned movies either.

[MilkToast]

Malkovich malkovich malkovich... I liked that one. I also like Master and Commander. Oh well.


A recent ones that I was on the fence about was Sky Captain... (etc). I did not like the story line at all really, but I sat through the thing (twice! as I got dragged along again) and could not get over the awesome backdrop work that they did. They really got the art decco (?) buildings and stuff done very very well in CGI. That alone redemed it in my book.

As for ones I did not like at all, I agree with Stepford Wives and for the life of me could not get into I, Robot (might have something to do with the fact that I have read it before and was influenced by that?).

So many rotten movies so litle time. I can open my window and smell HOLLYWOOD cranking out their dreck.A couple of the worst movies I had seen recently was: Bertilucci's The Dreamers and a real gem called: The Swimming Pool.A close runner up was so bad,I even forgot the name.It was about a guy that kept flashing back to an incedent in his childhood.I'll agree on how bad The Thief,Cook,Wife and Lover was bu there was a silver lining in it.Helen Miren.I know,she is an older lady but my God,@(&^$#%@*^^......If you wan to see her at her best,she played the lead roll in Calendar Girls.

[Lilith]

I loved Calendar Girls.

[Aqua]

OMG....Punch Drunk Love!

Did anybody get that movie?
I recently watched that and spent almost the whole length of the movie saying WTF?

The acting was really good, imo, and the story was mostly cohesive... just maybe not altogether present. lol

[osuche]

Paid $$ last night to see Oceans 12....seemed mostly pointless to me. :spin:

Not worth for even the eye candy?

[LixyChick]

Lil...you know me pretty well, right? I barely EVER get to see a movie in the theatre. So, what I do get to see is probably better to me than to some of the more critiquie (word?...is now!) type of people who have seen as many movies as Siskel and Ebert (yeah...I know Siskel is dead...but I prolly ain't seen a movie since he had a chance to critique it...lmfao!).

Anyway...my point? I get to see movies when they come to "On Demand, Pay Per View" or on regular TV. I love Stephan King and I've never liked any of his books that they've made into TV movies!

I was a "Tommy Knocker" addict! That book (as do most of SK's books) had me paralyzed till I could finish it. I had to take it everywhere I went. I ignored people I love just to read one more paragraph. I snapped at Mr. Lixy when he rushed me out of his mother's house and I left the book behind...and, I made him drive me back so I could get it!

When they announced that they were going to make it into a movie for TV...I was all over that like white on rice.

IT SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry...but any story they do of SK's...just doesn't translate when they do the screenplay!

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE DO JUSTICE TO A STEPHEN KING BOOK!

Yes, Lixy, they certainly do horrid things to some of SK's novels... The Lawnmower Man was pretty bad(and nothing like the book), Salem's Lot (1977) UGH!, some of the made for TV movies have been pretty bad too. Never saw The Tommyknockers, but I think I mentioned before, that book did not hold my interest at all. Dare I say I hated it? Mayhaps... :p

But there are some GREAT King films... The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, and Misery were top notch in my opinion. I enjoyed Secret Window and Dreamcatcher too, though some people didn't care for them so much.

And keep an eye out for The Mist... it's from the book Skeleton Crew and is slated to be directed by Frnak Darabont, director of Green Mile and Shawshank. It will probably be at least a year, but it should be very good!

[Oldfart]

I agree on the Cook, but Helen Mirren has always been sexy.

I loved the special effects in "I robot", but Susan Calvin was never a spunk, and the cyborg

Will Smith just was never.

Plan 9 was the worst of all.

[Mae]

Pet Sematary. It was so bad that as soon as Fred Gwynne (known to us older folk as "Herman Munster") said "the ground's sour", everyone in the theatre started laughing. And, it got worse and worse.
