What's the Worst Movie You Ever Saw?
 

I've seen a lot I waiting on...to get better...sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't.

My all-timer, however, is 'The Dinner' staring Richard Gere and Laura Linney.

I've enjoyed the work of both of those actors before, but they did nothing to save this one.


Honorable Mention to "Kong: Scull Island" because Kong was so very obviously a man in a 'gorilla suit'.

The proper gorilla body type and movement was on full display in Pete's Jackson's masterful update of "King Kong". Sure there was a lot of CGI involved, but the results were much more like an actual gorilla.


Just as bad as 'The Dinner', in retrospect, was the second Jaws installment, in which the shark somehow tracks a woman from New England to the Bahamas.

...at least I didn't rent that one.

I love the first Slapshot movie but Slapshot 2 and 3 were among the worst movies ever made.

worst
 

"Gone With the Wind".

Battleship Earth

Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Jaws Sequels
 

Raymond-- the second Jaws movie was passable. It still had Rory Scheider and was still set in Amity. The 3d was set in some water park setting and had Dennis Quad.

The 4th movie was the one you mentioned, The Revenge. I think it was made because Lorraine Gary, who played the wife of Chief Brody in 1 & 2, was in real life the wife of the head of the studio that produced all 4 movies and he tried to resurrect his wife's career and the franchise with the movie.

Agree it was a stinker. 3 was pretty bad too. In that one when one guy gets eaten the camera goes inside the shark

Worst I ever saw was "no nukes". My friends dragged me to it in Highschool because it had Springsteen in it. I wasn't really sure who he was at the time, but they were all like "we gotta see THE BOSS and he's in this movie.

Being in Mass, where the films intent was popular, I didn't expect so see people standing up after maybe 5-10 minutes loudly declaring how much it sucked and demanding their money back as they left.

Once it got -Finally- to the Springsteen part, which was a huge disappointment. I told them off a bit and left.

Only movie I ever walked out of, and I've seen some really awful ones.

Either The Fountain by Aronofsky or The Black Dahlia. Black Dahlia was the only movie I've ever walked out of. I wanted to walk out of The Fountain but my friend inexplicably liked it.

Recently It Comes at Night rings a bell.


The title contained 3 lies

There was no It, it never came, and it was during the day.

Al- I forgive myself for not being more familiar with that trash...perhaps it was my memory defending my sanity, by just reminding me to hate all the jaws sequels.

If you want to rid your mind of such accurate recall of all that garbage, I would recommend heavy drinking, or if that doesn't work, a lobotomy.

Dating myself here, but without a doubt the original version of "Last House On The Left". I have a fairly decent tolerance for the gore/horror genre but this is the only movie I ever walked out on. Didn't make it to the part where the parents wreak havoc on the sub humans.

ding ding ding

for how hyped up this was, it was a big disappointment.

This! Possibly the worst movie that cost more than $8.47 ever made.
Let's put it this way: if Jar-Jar Binks had shown up half way through, it would have been better

The only movie I ever walked out of was The English Patient.

In the late 1970's my mom took me to the movies. She wanted to see Breaking Away. I convinced her that the far better film would be "The Villain" since it had Kirk Douglas, Ann-Margret, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Since the mid 1980's, my mom and I have watched Breaking Away many times. She never fails to remind me of how I picked the other movie, THE worst movie I have ever seen. No, I have never suffered through The Villain again.

Freddy Got Fingered with Tom Green. I'm a fan of his comedy, but this movie was probably the only one I ever rented and did not finish watching. It was that bad.

The only movie I ever walked out of is Rain Man. Have even tried watching it a couple times since and just can't.

Hey, Ben - at least that one had real Baseball Cards in it.

Saw 'The Pickup Artist' in a 99 cent theater and still felt completely and utterly ripped off. What a piece of (add your own expletives here).

Every Adam Sandler film ever made.

Well, actually I stopped watching Adam Sandler films a long time ago because they were so bad, but from what I hear he has been pretty consistent in making garbage throughout his career (though sometimes he appears in other people's movies and those aren't always bad).

2001's "Moulin Rouge!" would have to top my list.

Three movies come to mind in no particular order.they would be Caddyshack 2,Mark of the Devil and as mentioned before,Battleship Earth with John Travolta

Tron
Dick Tracy
Blair Witch Project

Lucky I missed practically all the movies mentioned here except for GWTW and Rain Man. I could not rate either of those two the worst - the competition for that category is too strong.
THEM and a couple similar to that one would be promising candidates.

Any movie with Chris Farley in it.

The Babe with John Goodman. Awful writing, terrible acting

Ishtar, Spy Hard... I only remember these because I remember how much time I wasted in my life.

Another movie that shows up on most worst movie lists, and certainly ranks as one of the biggest Box office flaps, is Heaven's Gate. But except for the length I found it tolerable.

anything with Dakota Johnson ,,the worst actress ever ,,all the fifty shades movies ,,horrible

You're crazy Ben; Rain Man was great!

Agree that Jaws 4 has to be on any list, I always cracked up seeing it as a kid. Even at the age of 5 I realized that sharks don't roar lol.

My vote for worst is Karate Kid 3. However, every one should watch it because Terry Silver is hilarious.

Caddyshack II

I have only walked out of one movie in my life and that was the 1998 Psycho remake w/ Vince Vaughn & Anne Heche.

I can usually sit through a bad movie but for some reason I couldn't with this one.

Crybaby with Johnny Depp. Couldn’t tell if it was trying to be a serious Grease type musical or a bad version of a Naked Gun type movie. Either way I left the theater scratching my head.

Drew

Seriously? How many movies have you seen?

im sorry, but i have you all beat. one night im sitting in my living riom with my teenage nephues who like to watch scarry movies. we went on netflix i believe and put on a movie called "Clown" it was by far the worst movie i have ever seen and maybe all time.

spoiler alert!!!






the story line of the movie below.





A loving father becomes a savage killer while wearing a cursed clown costume that won't come off.

Cmon. Water boy was funny?

I nominate Ishtar followed by Spyhard

Beat me to it. Was an exercise in earsplitting pointless noise.

Having worked in a Movie store (Mr. Movies) in the mid-1990's, I was privileged to see some truly awful movies come through at that time. Will have to collect my thoughts for a proper answer...

But I will say that the art of the so-bad-it's-good movie is really an artfully fine balancing act. It should be praised to the heavens whenever it is achieved.
In that category, the movie They Live comes to mind, and mostly due to the *awkwardly* long fight scene between Keith David and WWF's 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper.

Just wear the dang glasses, Keith!! :D

So bad its' good
 

Fantasy Mission Force.

This is one of those so-bad-its'-good movies, at the very pinnacle of the genre. It is worth a few hours of your time for exactly that reason. It starts out off the rails and actually finds a way to get weirder and worse progressively.

It is seriously life-changing cinema. I laughed until I cried.

OMG! I LOVE that movie! That is a chinese food and beer night feature!

And another...
 

Good stuff guys.

Also, I thought I knew Blaxploitation films until I saw Isaac Hayes as Truck Turner. Pimps, Bounty Hunters, and Uhura from Star Trek as the most foul-mouthed Madam of all time.

Hayes actually makes his girlfriend put down a KFC chicken wing so he can get romantic with her.

So super bad that it's beyond super good. :cool:

Huh? THEY LIVE is a classic
" I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum...and I'm all out of bubblegum"

And...

Where do they come from ?
They ain't from Cleveland

It looks like you dipped your face in cheese dip back in 1957

The golden rule is... he who has the gold, makes the rules

Just to clarify, 'They Live' and 'Truck Turner' both come with my highest rating, if only for the quotable lines alone. They don't take themselves seriously, which is exactly why they succeed...

But, the worst films I've ever sat through in the theater are absolutely:
--Dick Tracy (walked out),
--Waterworld (gills, really???), and
--The Island of Dr. Moreau (the Brando/Val Kilmer one)

Each so uniquely horrible in it's own way...:rolleyes:

+1. Dan Akryod's performance was beyond bad.

Birdman was a tough watch.

Agreed.

I was so looking forward to a good baseball movie and I don't think I lasted 20 minutes watching that piece of crap.

My if and I saw Samson yesterday. It is absolutely terrible. I'm sure I've seen worse, but this is fresh in my mind.

on another members advice, I'm planning to do the heavy drinking tonight to make it go away.

Eegah!

Jeez, based on 95% of the responses in this thread, you fella's objectively haven't seen very many bad movies with most of the "Worst Movie You Ever Saw" named.

"Battlefield Earth" is a veritable classic compared to at least 1/2 the movies ever put on film.

:D

Boo this man!!!

My vote goes to the Twilight. totally deserves it

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

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

Watched Man of Steel last night and that sucked...

Superman Returns was MUCH worse!

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)

The Doors with Val Kilmer

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).

Eegah
 

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.

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.

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.

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

What???????? Are you nuts? That movie is awesome!

At least the scenery was good! :D

agreed, its the only thing that kept me watching :)

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.

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 !

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 :)

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