What's your worsterest movie ever?

[Tazz]

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.

[spoiler alert]

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 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 )

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 )

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.

Worst at theater, Tie between The Passion and Monster.

Worst at home, Osombie.

Not sure why, but when I read that it made me think of "Orgazmo" some weird porno about a couple of Mormon missionaries that end up making porn movies, complete with a golden labradour that had a giant wobbly dick strapped to its head.

[Madness]

golden labradour.

*Labrador.

You're welcome.

Without thinking about it much:

Deep Impact. The only highlight is when Tea Leonie's irksome character finally snuffs it. Go the fucking meteor!!!

No Country for Old Men. I want that 200 minutes back. I stayed with it for a pithy ending and got robbed worse than the lead characters.

The Cable Guy. Like a trip to the dentist. (I don't paint with the universal Carey hater brush though - The Truman Show is a fave.)

No Country for old men was excellent , deep and involving having taken a pinch of salt and a slug of .... burp

The Cable Guy was shit, agreed, Deep impact, haven't seen it but ...

Anything with Tom Cruise in it is shit, he has no credibility and he's a wanker to boot even before he did 'Jack Reacher ' ?

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 would be inclined to add Reefer Madness high on my list as well.

Seen that - but watching it in the university theatre with drunk/stoned uni students, and the nostalgia/historic value made it watchable. And somewhat entertaining.

[Winston001]

No Country For Old Men is outstanding. Very true to the book. I suspect you need to read Cormac McCarthy to really get the movie. Bleak.

The Horse Whisperer

Self indulgent twaddle.

MAGNOLIA. COLLATERAL. TROPIC THUNDER. MI3. Hell, JACK REACHER was OK.

[Grashopper]

... and 'What we do in the Shadows', the whole film was the same joke over and over and over...IMHO.

WHAT? I loved 'What we do in the shadows'. Very entertaining and made me laugh a lot.

'Buried' is definitely on my list of the 'worsterest movies", I did not like 'Gravity' either. 'Avatar' was great though. I really loved that world that they built.

Hm, Terminator 3 was total crap. I liked the other ones though.

[Brian d marge]

The Horse Whisperer

Self indulgent twaddle.

Any movie that shows me how to pick up chicks is fine by me

Summer of Suzanne, Star Virgin, Flesh Gordon...

'Flesh Gordon' ... uh huh ... uh huh! Just got mentioned the other day in a conversation with my brother in law. Might wander off to Pirate Bay and see if I can download it for old times sake.

EDIT: Woo hoo. Success!

[nerrrd]

No Country for Old Men. I want that 200 minutes back. I stayed with it for a pithy ending and got robbed worse than the lead characters.

There you go, one of my top movies, relentless and gripping. But I like that whole laconic 'western' thing, bit like Justified (screw you Soho-Sky!)

WHAT? I loved 'What we do in the shadows'. Very entertaining and made me laugh a lot.

Yeah some other people were laughing at every line, it was all just a bit too obvious for me after the set-up.

Haven't watched Gravity, find the Clooney Bullock combo distinctly unappealling. Wasn't he in 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes'? Possibly his finest hour.

Hmmmmm I love "crap" sci-fi B movies.....hated District 9..... the only film I never managed to watch to the end was Stone...Even the sex scenes with Milla Jovovich I just couldn't keep going to the end and had to withdraw early Talking of Milla, Resident Evil Afterlife is pretty dire.

I once watched a film recommended by Barry Norman a UK film critic...do not bother watching "Prostitute", she doesn't do it with alsations
