<p>A movie that I don’t hate but was kind of bored by: The Big Lebowski
I only mention this because it is such a cult hit. My H loves it. Is it a gender thing?</p>
<p>Napoleon Dynamite. I just COULD NOT watch that film.</p>
<p>anything with Sylvester Stallone in it.</p>
<p>I forgot two movies I actually walked out of because of violence- The Lair of the White Worm ( horror movie with Hugh Grant) and Interview with the Vampire, as soon as they chomped on that rat I was outta there.</p>
<p>I love the Big Lebowski * that rug really tied the room together, man*!, but I would agree it is probably a gender thing, but I like anything starring Jeff Bridges.( however I have not seen Heaven’s Gate 
)</p>
<p>I will mention that I did mention any Star Wars movie with the Jar-Jar binks character as being bad & I also said I didn’t like Mystic River, but that was because of the dialogue not the accent. </p>
<p>Oh yeah I couldn’t watch Napoleon Dynamite either, we rented it, but all agreed it was too dumb to live.</p>
<p>Leprechaun in tha hood! Havent seen it but it sounds like the worst movie ever!!!</p>
<p>Made for TV disney movies. They all suck!</p>
<p>Actually, what we are mostly listing as worst movies here are really the worst among name-brand movies - major productions that failed for one reason or had famous actors that stunk the place up. It’s sort of a Worst of the Best category.</p>
<p>Most of us never see the truly dreadful movies, the Worst of the Worst. Cheap, tacky, poorly-dubbed Kung Fu movies for example. Or failed art student movies. Or somethng stream-of-consiousness or otherwise absurdly avant gard.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How could I forget this one?! My daughters and I went to this one because we loved Jack Black in School of Rock. We knew going in that the movie could be bust–we had read a review that has a line in it that we still quote–“nacho best movie, Jack Black.”</p>
<p>As we feared, all of the funny bits were in the trailer…</p>
<p>I loathed Napoleon Dynamite - I only watched because I know it’s the movie Netflix has the hardest time predicting whether you’ll like it or not. </p>
<p>Phantom Menace was bad and JarJar made it almost unbearable. Thank heavens his role got reduced to almost nothing in subsequent movies.</p>
<p>uh oh…more movies listed as “worst” that I really like. </p>
<p>Big Lebowski (I’m with you EK…anything with Jeff is good in my book)</p>
<p>King of Comedy…I thought old Jerry was amazing in the movie. Yeah…weird for sure…but I liked it. </p>
<p>Forest Gump - long but a classic IMO. Just love Tom Hanks too. </p>
<p>Napoleon Dynamite…not the best but I thought it was pretty funny. </p>
<p>Hmmm…I thought I was pretty picky. </p>
<p>Anyway, I’ll throw in a couple:</p>
<p>Fargo (yeah, yeah, folks love this one but I can’t deal with humor around killing a cop…walked out of the room)</p>
<p>Anchor Man - IMO, Will Ferrell is one of the most overpaid actors/comedians around</p>
<p>toneranger, not just your opinion. </p>

<p>Johnny Mnemonic and The Cable Guy.</p>
<p>Eh, I’m with you, toneranger, about Forrest Gump. It will become a classic, especially for the visual effects. I liked it, my kids loved it. It did win a lot of Oscars and Golden Globe awards.</p>
<p>Per Entertainment Weekly:
</p>
<p>It, along with Napoleon Dynamite, Mean Girls, Home Alone, Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean and some others I can’t think of just now are iconic to our kids’ generation, particularly regarding their pop references. </p>
<p>It’s just like Saturday Night Fever, Star Wars, Jaws, Flashdance, Fame, The Breakfast Club, ET, Back To The Future, Dirty Dancing and The Rocky Horror Picture Show are for us. (What was up with those dance movies?)</p>
<p>Now, I grant you that most of these movies are pretty bad. But they define a generation.</p>
<p>David Bowie’s “The Man Who Fell To Earth”. Wha…???</p>
<p>Napoleon Dynamite - not funny, it was depressing!</p>
<p>Any of the Bring It On movies or their copycats.</p>
<p>American Beauty. I didn’t get it. What was with the plastic garbage bag blowing around?</p>
<p>One movie that everyone seemed to love but me was “Milk”. I slept.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I think the director or writer or somebody had earlier randomly filmed this odd phenomenon of the bag blowing around and around for a long time and was so fascinated by it that they had to incorporate it into a movie somehow.</p>
<p>Lafalum–totally agree on American Beauty. Really felt scummy by the time it was over.</p>
<p>I agree with american beauty-
movies are often disappointing- the best writing and character development is on the small screen these days I think.</p>
<p>What about Barbarella? That has to be up there … or down there …</p>
<p>Grey Gardens with Drew Barrymore was one of the worst and most depressing movies I’ve ever seen (it was shown after a movie I had enjoyed, “UP!” on the airplane). It was the sad story of two women whose lives had passed them by, sort of like Blanche DeBois, but infintely sadder.</p>
<p>Funny you should mention Grey Gardens. I just saw the original documentary from the 70’s about the real life mother/daughter (Jackie O’s relatives) living in a decrepit mansion. One of the most bizarre docs I’ve ever seen. Really unwatchable, but like a train wreck.</p>
