I agree. Obviously someone with 0 sense of humor. Farley was great (RIP)...

ALR-bishop 02-26-2018 08:00 AM

Until you posted this Leon I thought "this man" was Chris Farley :)

I just remembered "Best Defense", an Eddie Murphy/Dudley Moore stinker from the 80's. No fridges being nuked, but absolutely terrible

Superman Returns was MUCH worse!

Neal 02-26-2018 07:38 PM

Showgirls was bad .... rented it back in the day and had to fast forward to see the Saved by the Bell girl topless (kind of letdown there too)

TheBig6 02-26-2018 10:23 PM

The Doors with Val Kilmer

npa589 03-02-2018 08:49 PM

Easy one for me
 
Copper Mountain.

I bought it at Walmart based upon a fake review on front saying "One of Jim Carrey's first hits!" and was submitting it in a family DVD White Elephant exchange.


I dare you to watch this.

Memorably horrible....
 
It has already been mentioned, but Ishtar was excruciatingly horrible (1987). The advertising leading up to its highly anticipated release built it up as the movie of the decade.....a can't miss. My buddy and I saw it on opening night and were sooooo disappointed. It was very tough not to walk out, but we thought it may get better as we watched.......wrong. The reviews that followed in the next few days were devastating...and very much deserved. Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty probably still recoil at its mention. A real $51 million clunker (box office $14.4).

Yes, but great fodder for Mystery Science 3000 episode.

The Tree of Life

It's really hard to say.

About 20 or so years ago, I used to go to the $1 theater with an ex. We would get really high and go watch a movie, and boy did we watch some duds.

The Spice Girls movie is right at the top of the list, but I'm sure there were worst movies I've seen.

bravos4evr 03-24-2018 03:47 PM

I tend to think that "worst movie" really needs to be a major Hollywood production. The type of movie that involved meetings, production notes, lots of money and lots of people approving things all along the way. I don't think it's fair to kick the indy filmmaker who made a low budget film with very little money or talent, but put their heart and soul into it.

so based on that:

Legends of the Fall (seriously, wtf? can a movie get more pretentious?)

The English Patient (oh wait, never mind, yes it can! don't care that it won an Oscar , it is the worst sort of awards bait twaddle)

Sucker Punch (Zack Snyder's self indulgent mess of a film that found a way to make science fiction samurais and scantily clad action heroine's boring . I don't know if I have cared less about a movie in my life)

Hard to say or define, but when I was a kid I remember being so exited when I heard they were doing a Howard the Duck movie. The comic books were insightful and funny, and it was really a franchise that was getting a lot of heat, but the movie was so terrible, it actually killed what was potentially a very lucrative franchise.

Recently, Suburbicon was as sorry of a movie you could hope to ask to see.

I don’t know if it’s the worst, but Shakespeare in Love has to be the most overrated. How that movie ever beat out Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture is beyond me.

+1

Saving Private Ryan was and is a great movie!

I propose a new rating scale called The Bad Factor. At some point, when you start thinking a movie is really bad, (A) guess how long you've been watching it, then (B) check how long it's been on. Divide A by B for your Bad Factor.

The converse would be true as well. Even good movies that are slowly paced don't seem long.

Not necessarily bad but very overrated:
The Hours
American Beauty

The Accidental Tourist

"Eyes Wide Shut". Most Tom Cruise movies suck, but that was the worst.

yanksfan09 04-02-2018 07:07 PM

There's so many awful movies out there, but one that's worthy of mention is the Charlie and the Chocolate factory with Johnny Depp.

I love the original Willy Wonka, but can't stand that remake! Tried to watch it once, couldn't finish it.

JustinD 04-03-2018 02:13 PM

Someone said it earlier and they were spot on - Blair Witch Project.

I was on a date with my first wife and still left for the lobby twice because I had to settle the motion sickness I had from the awful handheld camera work.

After coming back from the second time a man two rows in front stood up and exclaimed "what is this shit!" And angrily walked out. I turned to my lady and said "he's certainly got the right idea" and she replied "ok, you win let's go".

To this day that unknown man is my hero. :D

The Informant! with Matt Damon. My wife and I do not bother to pay for premium cable channels. Every few months or so we will get a free weekend, or once in a while a full month, of HBO, Cinemax or some other 'movie' channel. We will go through the schedule and record any movie that seems intriguing. Unfortunately I chose this one recently. This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It was so pointless and painful I wanted to reach into the t.v. and give Matt Damon a pounding. I barely made the first 30 minutes before deleting it.

TUM301 04-05-2018 05:17 AM

THE worst movie I ever saw, and of course should have known, Exorcist II. Richard Burton must have been paid a fortune to star in that absolute bomb !

ALR-bishop 04-05-2018 08:08 AM

Michael---given your feelings about Matt Damon in The Informant you might want to pass on him in Downsizing when it shows up on TV :)

Hxcmilkshake 04-05-2018 08:41 AM

Fifth Element. So stupid I walked out. Tbe chic was hot though. But still..awful.

I don't dislike him. I like 'Good Will Hunting', the Bourne movies and 'We Bought a Zoo'. I knew from the previews I would not like 'Downsizing' so there will never be a problem with that movie being recorded to view.
