Worst movies of all times

<p>I liked Grey Gardens…sad, but still a good movie. ;)</p>

<p>OK…these are old but here are two movies I walked out on (back when I went to movies a lot…now I mostly do the DVD thing). </p>

<p>Tron</p>

<p>Brother From Another Planet</p>

<p>I know many people think ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ was a mean-spirited movie. I didn’t take it that way. I think there are lots of lonely misfits out there who connected with that strange soul. The film has an “indie” feel and I prefer that over the mainstream “dreck” out there with Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler.</p>

<p>I also hate the Something About Mary type movies and the requisite toilet humor. Or the Eddie Murphy “fat people” movies. There are plenty of movies I purposely don’t see that would likely make this worst movie list. Thank God.</p>

<p>I LOVED Tron. But then I was a geek. Went to see it with two other software engineers.</p>

<p>Have you heard/seen RiffTrax? The guys from Mystery Science Theater now make downloadable audio commentaries that sync up with current movies. HYSTERICAL!!!</p>

<p>Just watched Twilight with my sons. OMG. Hysterical.</p>

<p>Agree about American Beauty – depressing and weird with no real redeeming value.</p>

<p>Ooo, I had blocked out “Johnny Mnemonic.” Just awful.</p>

<p>I liked Napoleon Dynamite. I think it’s probably the prime example of “love it or hate it.”</p>

<p>A play (not movie, thankfully) we saw that was unbearable was “Buried Child,” you would have thought we would have had a clue it was bad from the title. It was horribly depressing.</p>

<p>Have seen other depressing and odd movies, at the International Film Festival, but can’t even remember the titles or plots (went to humor my mom). Several of them no one could figure out the plot.</p>

<p>The problem with movies on the airplane is that they’re hard to escape as they are on so many screens everywhere. Even without sound, they can be painful.</p>

<p>

Gawd, how I hated that movie. Just plain insulting. I got stuck watching it as the best-of-a-bad-lot choice on a transatlantic flight (where all Worst Movie Evers go to die). Still, for me there’s one even worse… ::Bronx cheer, please::</p>

<p>“A.I.”</p>

<p>I’m voting with cleveland and fendrock. The awfulness of that movie is in a class by itself. Where to start? How 'bout at the nonsensical “collaboration” of Spielberg and Kubrick whose artistic visions could not be more incompatible? Spielberg has sheepishly tried to weasel out of any responsibility for it by claiming that he filmed Kubrick’s story as Kubrick envisioned it. Sorry, Steven. We saw what we saw, and we got whiplash: “Yep, that’s Kubrick”; “Oh, there’s Spielberg again.” Treacle (you) does not mix well with apocalyptic cynicism (him). “A.I.” should have stayed on the storyboards or in the vault.</p>

<p>

Go figure. To me that’s Spielberg’s best, hands down.</p>

<p>Yes, “A.I.” was awful. I kept watching it though - hoping against hope that it would get better. It should have been good.</p>

<p>I’ve heard the Star Wars Holiday Special is awful, but I’ve never actually seen it. </p>

<p>The worst movie I, personally, have seen? Hm. Hmmmmm. That’s a tough one, but I think I’d have to go with “Soldier.” I saw it years ago and some big action hero starred in it, grunting and staring his way through the “plot.”</p>

<p>ALSO, the Aristocats. Or as I like to call it, “Hey, lost dogs were a hit in 101 Dalmatians, how about lost CATS? Only without any of the sense of drama or interesting characters that 101 Dalmatians had.”</p>

<p>Here is another film critic who thinks that A. I. is an awful, afwul movie!</p>

<p>^^^^ Well…it’s official. My H is NOT allowed to EVER visit CC. If he found out that I’m the only one that doesn’t like Duel (thanks Mudder’sMudder :wink: ) I’d never hear the end of it. And he’d make me watch it AGAIN.</p>

<p>Shout out for Borat… ugh. That was a poor excuse for humor, in my book.</p>

<p>Just remembered a truly awful movie, Prince of Darkness with Alice Cooper…anyone else see that? Late 80’s…and I agree with those that disliked A.I.</p>

<p>To some extent, criticizing an action movie for not being artistic enough is like criticizing a dog because it’s not a cat. I personally liked Soldier. Kurt Russell played his role well enough- a character raised to fight since birth isn’t going to be wordy. It wasn’t like you were supposed to expect Kramer vs. Kramer. And it has one of my favorite action movie lines of all time: “What are you going to do?”</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>“I’m going to kill them all. Sir.”</p>

<p>But then again, I’m a Kurt Russell fan.</p>

<p>Another thumbs down vote for A.I… Something we can all agree on!</p>

<p>Don’t think I could stomach Borat…won’t try. </p>

<p>JustaMom…lol on Duel. I can see how some folks wouldn’t like it though…low production values and Dennis Weaver is a bit creepy (and over-plays the part too!) </p>

<p>In my house, my H tries to get me to watch Ben Hur. Not a bad movie really…but it gets bad after the 6th viewing IMO!</p>

<p>Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby :frowning: sorry, but Will Farrell annoys me</p>

<p>Any “comedy” that employs fart or toilet humor. It always strikes me as juvenile and unfunny.</p>

<p>JustaMom, maybe you could tell hubby that you’ll happily watch “Duel” yet again if he’ll agree to watch “The Princess Diaries” first? ;)</p>

<p>The truck was the star of Duel - it should have won an Academy award. I doubt if many saw Joy Ride, but that stole from Duel – Candy Cane??</p>

<p>^^ Speaking of the Academy Awards… 1952, a year that will live in Oscar infamy. Worst Best Picture ever: “The Greatest Show on Earth” aka “Moses Goes to the Circus”.</p>
