View Full Version : What's your worsterest movie ever?

1st September 2014, 23:21
Well, I must say I did a search for "worst movies" and the nearest thread I could find was an old one of Boob's from 2008 so I figured it was time to start a new one.

What prompted this, I hear you avidly asking? (Ok, so not avidly, more like with a sense of dread...)

So here it is. I just spent approximately 2 hours of my life I'll never get back watching "Noah". Now I should have already known that Russell Crowe is pretty much the kiss of death to lots of "artistic" things, but maybe, just maybe, there was hope. Uh, no.

In the end it was so bad I just had to keep watching to see if it could get any worse. And ya know what? It sure did! But I just couldn't resist the train wreck - why am I such a masochist?

Ah well, I probably got what I deserved for thinking that the wonderfully magical Hermione Grainger was able to whip out her wand and salvage something of this epic, well quite frankly I'm not sure what to call it. And I far preferred Jennifer Connelly in "Labyrinth" when she was the teen transformed rather than the scarecrow figure in skinnies (I wonder if they really did have pants like that back in Noah's day) that looked like they were about to fall off her stick figure at any moment.

That's my rant. Who wants to go next?

Actually this doesn't really fit your criteria PB but I'll rant anyway.

"Buried" is a horrible awful piece of creepy thriller and I never ever ever want to see it again. I'm claustrophobic and never mind nightmares - I had daymares after watching it. Kept flashing on scenes when I was at work.

Sod that. No movie has ever had that effect before.



But ok, it is a very good movie if it can instill such horror.

Twilight. The only reason this is not comfortably the worst movie I have ever seen is because I have also seen 2 of the sequels. That is what my wife wanted for Mother's Day this year. For me to watch the last 2 in the series with her.

I limited my watching criteria a loooooooooong time ago. If a movie is shite, I turn it off or leave the cinema as I see no point in falling asleep then waking up with a stiff neck and covered in drool and popcorn (hopefully mine). So I don't really have a worst movie... but will most certainly add you guyses choices to my list of avoids.

When I first started watching it, I thought for sure it was some sort of piss take, but then much to my surprise, I figured out it was a serious attempt at a movie! :facepalm:
Worst acting, worst effects, hell just worst everything! 75 mins long and that includes 15 mins of "credits/hall of shame".

There is a Golden Raspberry Awards .. for the worst films ... go here

Mine would have to be two - Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Plan Nine from Outer Space (sometimes known as Grave Robbers from Outer Space).

Both received Razzies ...

You had to see them when they were new and relevant - some movies don't age that well.

I sort of saw 2001 - it was in 16mm in a back yard in Mt Eden (a mate had a sound projector and he'd hire the film), and we'd all dropped a tab before we "watched" it..............buggered if I know what it was all about, but, we all had a good time anyway......

Hmmm, saw 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' and 'Robot Monster' as a double feature at Charley Gray's back in the day...saw Robot Monster first and thought it was hilariously bad, then Plan 9 but that was just baaaad (might have been bad movie fatigue by that stage).

Another observation: Jim Carrey is actually quite a good actor when he's not trying to be funny, shame about the rest of his stuff.

Also: thought 'Event Horizon' was pretty bad, way to take an interesting idea and turn it into a slasher film; and 'What we do in the Shadows', the whole film was the same joke over and over and over...IMHO.

Roger Ebert gave the film a negative review giving the film 2 stars out of 4 stating "The script creates a sense of foreboding and afterboding, but no actual boding"

Sums it up nicely :lol:

Hobo with a shotgun

..........was great?

because it was great.

You saw a film called "HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN": What did you expect? War and Peace? Anna Karenina? because with HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN you got exactly what it said on the tin you would get. Rutger Hauer as a hobo, with a shotgun and blowing people the fuck away.

Seriously, a lot of you people don't seem to understand the concept of the genre film. A genre film only fails if it does not live up to expectation: so, MAD MAX 3: THUNDERDOME fails. So does HUDSON HAWK, or any number of comic book adaptations. I would also argue MACHETE fails by that account, Rodriguez and Trejo notwithstanding So, lack of budget or dire special effects or crap acting or a bad script do not necessarily render a film "bad"... though those items don't generally help. For example, PLAN 9 and ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES both succeed in their genre despite their grave (yes, pun intended - sorry) failings, which ar myriad.

Another great little genre movie SWAMP THING. also has Adrienne Barbeau boobs.... and its the 70's: you know its all her.

the films that I have hated have usually been big budget, over hyped piles of shit that do not live up to their own expectations, let alone that of their intended audience.

I would include AVATAR in that list. Also the MATRIX sequels which were godawful and did not make sense by even their own internal "logic"

a recent example: SNOWPIERCER.



It looked great, but you walk out of the theatre going, wait, whut?

because [spoiler alert]


























if you think about the ending for even one second you realise that the ending has condemned every last human on the planet to death.

I have to agree, but a bit less so with Gravity.
Avatar is 3hrs of blue, but the underlying theme of greed over good is impressive. Sorry if my inner greenie is coming out. I'll make sure I wipe correctly.

Gravity is scientifically correct and has the backing of a lot of astronauts and geeks. The fact that the "scenery" is splendid, certainly helps.

Think it is supposed to show that life will happily carry on without us regardless. That's what I took from it anyway.
I didn't realize it had such a big budget, and it has a good ranking on both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes :confused: Certainly not the worst movie, but it's one I pretty much immediately forgot I had watched (I had to double check what the ending was :lol:)

Maybe it's the 'open to interpretation' side of those movies you don't like? I didn't have a problem understanding the 2 and 3 Matrix, but the end of the 3rd is very much a 'draw your own conclusion' (which could be viewed as a bit of a cop out). Not a movie, but they still did better than the giant hole that the LOST writers buried themselves in. Annoys me I spent so much time watching it years ago only to end up with that shit for an ending.

Agree on Avatar was rubbish, a lot to do with the hype though that it failed to deliver on (like someone mentioned with Titanic. Most entertaining bit in that is when the guy jumps off the stern and hits the propeller :lol:)

Battlefield Earth and Movie 43 probably earn a mention in here too. And the Butterfly effect sequel.


Yup - Desperado was great.....Once Upon a Time in Mexico...........I don't think we finished watching it....

Machete was supposed to be Desperado. Well, he used so much from the Machete idea for Desperado that it was shelved for good until the pisstake trailer from the Grindhouse Planet Terror and Death Proof release was so popular.

When I lived in Chchch, one of my fellow employees (an ex-librarian, and fashionista - that should have been a hint) recommended we go and see "Pret-a-Porter", because "It was absolutely wonderful!".
What a vacuous, boring, steaming pile of poop! It's the only movie I've ever walked out of (after about 20 minutes of hoping it would miraculously turn into a real movie). Even my wife (who is of the female persuasion, y'know, and who likes fashionable garments) was horrified at how CRAP it was.
Even today I resent the money and time wasted. It's not even a good story to retell here, on this here forum here.
Second worst: "Hollywood Suite". Packed full of (very unfunny) comedians, it was only redeemed by a brilliant piece of acting (at least, I think he was acting) by Walter Mathau, who is woken up in his hotel room, still really drunk, by his wife calling from the airport to say she's on her way. And he discovers a comatose drunk and naked young woman in his bed, who he then tries to dress. Being really pissed, her pantyhose are somewhat of a mission to try to put back on. In the end, he gives up, just before his wife turns up, and puts her on a baggage trolley outside his room, still naked, covered up with a bedspread. And that's all I can remember... Maybe I lapsed into a coma myself.

I thought it was terrible. Jane Fonda's tiny titties notwithstanding.

Awful dialogue and laboured "plot" such as it was, pointless resolution and half an hour too long. Some cool set and costume design but definitely NOT the SF classic it is sometimes touted as.

I love science fiction from that era: one of my favourite films of all time is SILENT RUNNING which is a bona fide classic. Early Doug Trumbull VFX which got him the gig with STAR WARS.

People rave about DARK STAR but honestly I didnt think it was that crash-hot. It is touted as the progenitor for ALIEN (due to the writing team) but it is a bit lame.

If you enjoyed WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS then get your sorry arse to see HOUSEBOUND which opens tonight. I saw it at the NZIFF.

WWDITS pales into comparison. I thought the script was very little more than a series of skits, that Cory Gonzales dude is a shit comedian and a terrible actor. There were some very funny parts in it don't get me wrong (some of the sight gags were excellent).

HOUSEBOUND is way way better. Horror comedy, tight tight script, well acted, fantastic sets and locations and just really well done.

T3 (and 4 and 5 and I think they are shooting 6) were basically money driven. I didnt mind the one with Christian Bale (was that 3) but my favourite is T2. I did enjoy T1 though and because they had no money its a much tighter and more character driven thing. Plus, you know, splosions.

In terms of good B movies, I am a fan of John Carpenter (ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, ESCAPE FROM LA, THE THING, ASSAULTO NPRECINCT 13). I was horrified to read recently of the remake of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. Though the remake of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 didnt entirely suck donkey balls.

Oh I think is surpasses Tremors (haven't seen Evolution)

"Showgirls" is still the movie that most comes to mind as a serious attempt at a movie, that just turned out bad.

(People will have differing opinions; I like "Starship Troopers" and many people hate it. Fine. But does anyone (other than pervs with one criteria for a movie) think "Showgirls" was a good movie?)

Showgirls was ok, I liked the pool scene . Gave a different meaning to the stage expression "Break a leg"...and I learned how to pronounce a certain fashion brand properly.

well most recently, The Amazing Spider-Man 2

The movie contains fewer than 15seconds of comic book action, and the whole story was total crap. When they restarted the movie franchise after the previous flops I thought it'd be done properly. Seriously can't work out why they thought that particular 142minutes of nuisance 14yr old dribble was worth releasing :crazy:

Another one I regret watching is Cloverfield, way to make a monster movie without a fu*kin monster :wacko: :ar15:

Up there as one of my worst too. I hated the fact that the camera was shaking all the time, as if to simulate someone running away from the thing while still filming it, not a good effect when watching it on the big screen, kinda made me feel sick.

This film was total crap!!!

I have Pacific Rim on my big budget crap movie list. Soooo bad. That's something from me I usually ignore massive plot holes etc and enjoy the ride but that movie was so fucking flawed I struggled to the bitter, utterly predictable ending.

Today I have hired:

Taken 2 - I enjoyed the first one
Sublime - looks interesting for a horror .......... we will see.
Old Boy - planned for viewing tonight - anticipation level of goodness and mayhem is high. I hope not to be disappointed.


Silent Running - on my favorites list - probably camp now but it left a lasting impression on my teenage mind. Book was good too.

Logan Run - there is a blast from the same period I had mentally mixed that up 10 mins ago when I blinged Silent Running - but to be fare I'm pulling out memories from decades back.

Happened to my friend during 'The Blair Witch Project'. He gagged at one point and had to leave before the end :lol:

I haven't bothered but I've heard the new Godzilla is big on the monster you can't see BS too.

The original looks like it may have subtitles....... I don't do subtitles.

Of interest the one genre of movie that does not have a issue with language is porn. Regardless of the race and language of the actors you can always see the ultimate ending coming ..........



It's the remake .......... how bad can it be???????? It must be better - in the remake he was captured for 20 years - only 15 in the original. He'll be more pissed off after 20 years.

Mmmm, Showgirls was pretty dire - they enjoyed eating their dog food though! And as for Starship Troopers, my fav scene was the bug sucking out the guys brain.

No, it really is pronounced Ver-sayse

My feelings about "Total Recall" Give me the original hokey Arnie version any day over the Colin Farrell one. Rachel Ticotin and Sharon Stone were super awesome in the original. The two totally forgettable chicks in the later version can't act to save themselves!!!!!

The third boob looked much better in the remake though :woohoo:

I agree - lead actors were hollow in the remake no chemistry between them. Had some good special effects but left no lasting memory at all. Original Arnie one did.

For the gun to work the trigger requires pulling. Is he pulling it with his dick? It's like Pacific Rim all over again .... you'd need to fold ya dick around the trigger, so it would have to be flaccid. Being flaccid you'd have no ability to 'pull' the trigger. Unless the thrusting action is so violent the flaccid penis pulls the trigger.

Obviously someone is going to have to try this out. I may write to myth busters.

Since you can't see his dick and can see the trigger he is clearly firing the gun by thrusting his pelvis so fast that the wind pressure on the trigger is enough to fire it.

You're overthinking. You should also rent VOLCANO HIGH from Alice in Videoland.

Midnight Express was another bore, it was an R18 at the time of release and we (myself and friend) were not 18 years but got in (yea baby right on!) but left part way through the flick (yes they were known as the Flicks back then) and went to smoke some weed somewhere, on the side of a hill iirc.

I've see a couple of shit movies with Dann whats his name from Machete. Real C grade crap. He's signing up to anything for the coin I guess and fair enough at 70 something!


Evil Dead. Excellent stuff.

I watched the remake a couple weeks back. OK. If I'd not been brought up on the original I'd give it a higher rating. Ash rules. Period.

Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.

'' Due to the film's poor acting and semi-comedic script, most Kiss fans disliked the film. The members of Kiss themselves despised the film for making them appear buffoonish. For years after its airing, no one who worked for the group was permitted to mention the film in their presence.''
