Charlies Angels. That movie was so horrible is was almost unbelievable. Even with the hot chicks, it flat out sucked.

2001 Space Oddessey. Good pick, that is supposed to be one of the all-time greats but I could never sit through the whole thing.

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

Breaking the Waves

Worst movie ever! It was nominated for an academy award, I believe for best foriegn film, but boy was that a horrible movie. Acting was fine, the movie was worse than pulling teeth. Rent it on a first date if you want it to end real fast.

Can't remember the full name of it but it was about a vampire motorcycle!!!

The brits on the board might know about it. The young guy from Boon and Men behaving badly starred in it.

Any sixties/seventies film which tries to capture the mood of the culture, rather than giving you a film!

Without a doubt, Traffic.

Boring, cliche, predictable, uninspired, and darn if it didn't feel like it was six hours long. And on top of that, perfectly wasted opportunities for violence and nudity that would have actually made sense to be in a movie for once instead of just thrown in for ratings.

If the opposite of pro is con, what is the opposite of productivity? Ground first.

Says Who ?

The Critics?
Those guys don´t know a good movie even if it was introduced to them!
95% of the movies the critics bash are actually pretty cool!
And most they say are good end up being crap!

So if they say "2001..." is one of the best , i say they are suckers!

Charlie´s Angels was not that bad! Could´ve been better1
But it wasn´t bad!

Why should you learn from your mistakes?

i have to disagree with traffic. it fits is with the legality of drugs post. i don't think the film was supposed to be an action film. traffic the movie was about the futility on the war on drugs. it was supposed to show all the reasons why the war on drugs is stupid. i think that it was one of the more brilliant films i ever have seen. the way it was shot documentary style made the social commentary being told all the more effective. if sex and violence were what you looking for, then i guess traffic would have been boring. Besides benicio del toro did a hell of a job in that movie.

Reply to 327goat

Yea! I just rented traffic and Benicio was extremely good in it.

The worst movie I had to sit through was Little Nikki, god dam it sucked. I swear I would of left if I could of. The latest starwars was hard to watch also, I guess I needed to be 12 to enjoy em.

But the worst movie I ever saw had to be “The doom generation” (I think that’s what it was called). It was on cable one night and was so bad I couldn’t turn it off! It’s basically about 2 guys and 1 girl going around and unbelievable things just keep happing to em. And every where they go the chick is recognized by some guy she dissed. There was one seen where the rebel dude was telling the girl how he had Jesus tattooed on his ,well u know, when she asks why he says so I can say “do u want Jesus inside U?” Needless to say she found Jesus. And it just gets worse! The end is especially bad when the 2 dudes are “experimenting” waiting for the chick to come back and are discovered buy some anti gay rednecks who decide to cut off their hmmmmmmmm well u know, lets just say “Jesus” won’t be inside anymore. I know it sounds like a porn movie but it’s not.

That movie damaged my brain I’m pretty sure. I hope someone else has seen it to make me feel better that I’m not the only one who suffered through it.


Thx & Cya

Funny review, man. You made it sound so bad that I have see it.

My nomination for the worst movie of all time would be any movie with "Steven Segal." Is there anything worse than a monotone actor in an "action" movie! Someone shoud start a thread for the worse actor of all time.

I wonder...what is the speed of gravity?

You guys don't seem to understand. The worst movie IS Breaking the Waves! There is no question about it. There was basically a riot in the movie theater when I saw it.

We are going to have to have a Forum homework assignment worth 5 pts. Everyonee has to watch that movie with their girlfriend/wife/cat... and report back as to your pain and misery.

I've seen a few bad movies. <b>Thin red line</b>, too artistic and too long. <b>Species 2</b>, Come on, It was nothing more than alien porn.

One of the recent ones and this is gonna piss off a lot of people....

<b>Pearl Harbour</b>. Now, before you start flaming me like anything, hear me out.

It was long. It had a completly predictable love triangle. Everytime they showed the americans, they were "being" all goody and innocent. Everytime they showed the Japanese, they were plotting a war. That wouldn't have been so bad as it is afterall an american movie. Its the corny script that added insult to injury. For example, when ben aflect's character goes to europe to help out the allied forces, in one scene the british commander says something like: "If there are more boys like you back in America, god help anyone who goes to war with you."

Come on! that just made me laugh out in the cinema. The explosions and stuff were good, but I thought a film like this should have more depth. <font color=blue>Saving private ryan</font color=blue>, for example, was a brilliant movie. I was expecting something like that, instead I faced something more along the lines of "<b>Starship troopers</b>" meets "<b>Armageddon</b>", both of which, by the way, were crappy movies.

I really liked it, but you're not american are you? I can totally understand where you are coming from. When I lived in Europe I saw Independence Day in the theater. It was so awesome for me and I was laughing and having a good time while enjoying the battles etc. The people around me thought I was an idiot though since they either didn't understand anything, or they just couldn't relate to being an american. When I laughed at the jokes I was the ONLY one in a theater with easily 1,100 seats. It was a bit wierd actually, but screw it...

Pearl Harbor wasn't Saving Private Ryan either. Different types of movies. Nonetheless, like I've said before Pearl Harbor made me more mad at the Japanese than I got towards the Germans in Saving Private Ryan. Kind of odd I think...

No, I'm not american. Yeah, saving private ryan was a brilliant movie. I didn't get mad at the Germans or the Japanese after seeing either movie. Pearl harbour didn't move me at all. What got me the most was how each party got potrayed. Even though it was a very American movie, I expected a little more objectivity. The war is finished, people no longer need a morality boost.

Saving private ryan, on the other hand, had me quiet for the whole duration. the only guy I was mad at, was the intelligence officer that went with the american team. He was just such a coward. Though I do understand such a situation could get the bravest people petrified.

One thing I did find funny is there were no other allied troops. Just the americans.

American movies suck like that. American's want to be the heroes so we make our movies just that way. It always kills me how we think WE won WWII. Oh well though, at least my kids will be raised to know better.

Killer Clowns from Outer Space by far has to have that title. Final Destination is a close second. Killer Clowns was on SciFi or some other broadcast network when I was home last. I caught bits and pieces of it, I couldnt stand to watch the whole thing. Final Destination just plain sucked, I was able to pick out everybody that was going to die in order throughout the whole damn movie. So much for a thiller, it was more like a game show. Whos the next contestant on you're dead next. The best part of that was it was an after hours showing at a small theather that on of my frat brothers was the manager of. Didnt have to pay for it and we could bitch as loud as we wanted about how much it sucked! The worst part was that there was a vote to decied what movie to watch, of which i was on the losing end. Movie democracy is not always good!

Screw liberty, give me broadband or give me death!

Almost all teen horrors have to be put under worst movies catagory. Whats that school one where the teachers are aliens.

I think the makers of this film got confused with aliens and vampires.

that was the faculty. an mtv production.

Reply to jmycal

Man are there a lot of posts to comment on here. I'll try to get them all in one reply. :)

Traffic: jmycal, I'm sorry, but it sucked. I know what it was supposed to be. I wasn't expecting action. I was at least expecting some interesting plot twist here or there and something original. There wasn't a shred of originality in that movie. It was like taking every single stereotypical cliche and making a movie about them where you can see every event happening a good half-hour away. It was highly uninspired. Anyone who was actually surprised by anything in that movie had to be monumentally nieve about drugs. Anyone who has ever spent any time with any side on drugs would have been bored to death with that movie. And the worst part is, there are plenty of things that could have been done to make it more interesting, but the script was so poorly researched (or written) that they just stuck to every cliche under the sun. Anyone involved with that movie should be ashamed to have been a part of it.

Lowlypawn, Star Wars Episode 1 was kind of boring because it was setting the stage for Episodes 2 and 3. Like any book or movie, the first part is going to be boring because all it really is is describing the setting, character introduction, and basic motivation for the plot. You can't look at any of the Star Wars movies singly, because they aren't so much sequels as they are chapters of a single story that without each other are virtually meaningless.

Episode 1: Introduction of Anakin Skywalker and the Sith.
Episode 2: The temptation of Anakin Skywalker by the Sith.
Episode 3: The fall of Anakin Skywalker into 'evil'.
Episode 4: The introduction of Anakin's son, Luke.
Episode 5: Luke's growth into a hero and the confrontation of son and father.
Episode 6: The redemption of Anakin by his son.
That is the basic fundamental storyline of Star Wars. As such, Episode 1 is going to be the most boring of them all, but is very important for laying the groundwork for Episodes 2 and 3.

The only exception to all of this is Episode 4: A New Hope because as the first of all of the Star Wars movies, it had to be more of a story in itself just to get people interested in the whole concept. It wouldn't have done any good to bore the audience. It had to be an attention grabber, and it was.

mastercat70, Swordfish was a letdown in many ways, but you have to admit that it was cool to see a well-played bad guy. Also, that explosion in the beginning was pretty cool. I wouldn't call Swordfish a bad movie, just perhaps disappointing if you happen to know anything about computers.

I hate movies about computers that are so grossly innacurate. Would it kill any movie writer to research computers or hire a computer specialist to help them with the script before making a crappy movie?

dhlucke, Evolution kicks butt. I loved it. I've heard so many people just call it a Ghostbusters knockoff. It makes me wonder if they ever even saw Ghostbusters. And then they complain about putting Duchovney in that role. Personally, I don't think they begin to understand the whole humor just from the irony of it. I agree with you and am glad that someone else found it funny. It was a great movie, and seemed pretty well researched at that. I couldn't find any reason to not like it. :)

In defense of The Faculty, it was a great commedy. Maybe it wasn't meant to be one, but you have to admit it was a pretty funny movie. I can't consider it a bad movie simply because of all of the laughs that it gave me. :)

That said, the following movies will never be considered bad by me:
Anything involving Godzilla, Mothra, or any of the other giants
CHUD and CHUD 2
The Stuff
The Blob
Kingdom of the Ants
The Food of the Gods (not sure if that was the exact title or not)
Kindgom of the Spiders (not sure about this title either)
And one I can't remember the title of, but it involved giant rats (or maybe they were shrews?) that were actually played by dogs.
I know that there are more, but my memory is going. It's already been a long Monday.

I think I saw that movie! It’s the one where the kid teams up with a janitor that everybody thinks is retarded. But he is really brilliant and just acts that way to study people. Then he invents this device to chase rats away using ultrasonic sound but it only works on the aliens. I think when the kids got rebellious they took them to a lab and performed some operation like a lobotomy or something (As I write this the movie is coming back to me LOL). I remember some stupid ending with a bridge and a PU truck and all the aliens followed the janitor off the bridge. Yea, that movie sucked but it don’t hold a candle to “The doom generation”.


As for Battle field earth, that movie got the worst reviews on rotten tomatoes ever with a 5% LOL.

Then Battlefield Earth...

That movie was horrible, but we had fun calling people man-animals after that for while. That movie should never have been made. I snuck in to see it and was so pissed that I started demanding a refund. I didn't get one though. I actually paid for Breaking the Waves though and they wouldn't give me a refund either.

Sorry Guys you are wrong, The WORST movie ever to have the misfortune of being committed to film was Blair Witch, that is the most crap junk sh!t movie ever made.
Traffic was a good movie, and I really liked Armageddon, but yes The latest Star Wars movie was a fizzer, there were 2 good bits, the pod racing and the fight scene at the end, the rest was crap, and If I was there I would have popped a cap in Jar Jar and put everyone one of thier misery, and when they were underwater in the sub thing and a fish grabbed them, I swear that it was Godzilla that came out and grabbed the fish, and was I the only graphic artist that noticed the dissapearing feet?

I saw Blair Witch alone in the theater on one of the first nights before I really knew anything about it. It scared the living crap out of me....

Saw it on DVD much later though and could understand how it would suck if you saw it after that.

No no no no no. Blair Witch was bad, but there was worse: BLAIR WITCH 2!

I don't think I've ever seen a worse movie. It was everything bad about BW1, but instead of a halfway understandable ending, you're left with nothing more than pure insanity that is stretched to the very limits of being psychologically explainable, if not considerably past those limits into just plain old bad script writing.
