<p>Inspired by the threads about good movies, I decided to start a thread where we can vote for some really bad ones. My vote goes to *Snakes on a Plane *- I was unfortunate to be stuck in the living room when DD tuned the TV to the channel showing it. My only positive thing about this movie was seeing the credits at the end - I could finally say, “phew, no more of this garbage!”</p>
<p>What movie(s), in your opinion, get(s) the honors of being the worst film(s) of all times?</p>
<p>Oh, there are so many! </p>
<p>I think *Love Story *is the worst movie to have been nominated for Best Picture. </p>
<p>I really really really really hate the *Home Alone *movies because of their cartonish treatment of extreme violence that would, in reality, kill or permanetly maim a real person…and we’re supposed to LAUGH!!!</p>
<p>Lost in America was pretty bad.</p>
<p>I also was not a big fan of Something about Mary.</p>
<p>OMG…Lost in America is one of my favorites…lol</p>
<p>Rollerbabies…a late seventies move :eek: (the evian commercial “rollerbabies” is funny though…check it out on youtube).</p>
<p>Obviously you had no childhood misspie… the reason they depict the violence like that is because the movie is GEARED FOR CHILDREN. Don’t knock childhood classics because they aren’t realistic enough for you as an older person…</p>
<p>You know what movie I really hated? “The English Patient”.</p>
<p>Anything with Adam Sandler…yuck.</p>
<p>Hated “Ghost” (except for Whoopi Goldberg)
Hated “An Officer & A Gentleman”
Hated “Love Story”</p>
<p>I must not be very romantic, huh?</p>
<p>Worst box-office hit: Titanic. (But I loved The English Patient.)</p>
<p>“Polyester” starring Divine. Does anyone remember that you got a scratch and sniff to go along with the movie?</p>
<p>I hated “Blow Out.” Worst ending ever.</p>
<p>I’m going to get a tongue-lashing for this one: “Gladiator” struck me as being the most contrived, self-congratulating, and self-important attempt at epic film making in the modern history of motion pictures.</p>
<p><em>ducks to avoid flying objects</em></p>
<p>I laughed pretty hard at Something About Mary…</p>
<p>Hated “Blue Velvet”. The only movie I can recall paying for, then walking out of.</p>
<p>But really, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has to be the worst on my list. Even though I saw it a bunch of times as a teen. :)</p>
<p>Titanic was all the rage when my husband and I tried to go see it…it was sold out , mostly because of all the the swooning teenage girls that were all about Leonardo DiCaprio…anyway it was a rare night out for us and we ended up going to see " Wag the Dog " so boring that I fell asleep.</p>
<p>Robocop and all the sequels. And I think my husband has seen it 50 times.</p>
<p>Natural Born Killers, Inglorious Basturds</p>
<p>““Gladiator” struck me as being the most contrived, self-congratulating, and self-important attempt at epic film making in the modern history of motion pictures.”</p>
<p>Don’t remember much about this film…but do remember Russel Crowe’s pecs…</p>
<p>Now…I know it won awards and tons of people liked it…but I HATED “Pulp Fiction”. </p>
<p>And we rented “Don’t Look Now” based on a CC rec. H and I ended up turning it off! :eek:</p>
<p>Really bad movies don’t stay with me all that long…thank God.</p>
<p>But, recently my D convinced me to take her to see the new Twighlght movie, something “moon” (I’m losing it already)</p>
<p>That heartthrob vampire guy just cannot act and there are these scenes in the woods where the emotion is conveyed by talk. ing. ver…y slow…ly…as the music rises into this massive crescendo behind them. D and I actually started laughing really hard and could not stop on and off for the rest of the movie.</p>
<p>I hated Pulp fiction too, although to be fair I didn’t see much of itt–tried twice but couldn’t stay awake.</p>
<p>I have never made it through My Dinner With Andre awake. I have never made it halfway through My Dinner With Andre awake. I have tried four times, because people like that movie, and I like “talkies”. But not that one.</p>
<p>Another movie people love, and I really don’t, is Wings Of Desire. That was especially annoying because, if it had been just a tad worse, I could have just walked away and stopped watching. But at roughly 15-20 minute intervals, the movie would throw up something stunningly beautiful or perfectly calibrated, so I would have to stick around to see whether it would definitively get better, or maybe make sense. No.</p>
<p>Japanese arty snuff film In The Realm Of The Senses. Unmitigated crap. I tried to get my future wife to see it with me; she stood me up. Good thing.</p>
<p>As a precocious teenager, I read Pauline Kael’s swooning review of Last Tango In Paris, and made my parents take me to see it. It was awful, except for one great (thankfully, silent) shot in the middle. Everything about it is bloated and pretentious and awful, from Marlon Brando and his improvised ruminations to Maria Schneider’s much-displayed bosom. I’ve gone back to it twice to see whether, older and wiser, I got what Kael saw. I didn’t. (The Conformist and The Last Emperor, by the same director, are two of my favorite movies ever.)</p>
<p>Other unredeemable movies by great directors: Peckinpaugh’s Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia, and Altman’s Three Women. I only had to watch them once, however; it was completely clear they had nothing to offer. (The Wild Bunch, Nashville, and The Player are more of my favorite movies ever.)</p>
<p>But . . . my real candidate for the Worst Movie Ever is The Princess Diaries. Ooooh how I despised that movie! I saw it without my then-12-year-old daughter, who was at camp, and immediately wrote her a five-page (typed, single-spaced) screed about how much I hated it. She got it the afternoon after she and her bunkmates had seen The Princess Diaries, and she read it to all of them out loud. They still quote it back to me, but they all thought it was stupid, too (without my level of anger). (I love Julie Andrews, by the way; I didn’t think it was possible to dislike, much less hate, a movie with her in it. That’s how bad the movie was. And it was completely clear that Anne Hathaway had the goods to be a star, and that Mandy Moore did too. It was such a bad movie that NONE of that made it OK.)</p>
