Worst movie ever?

[hertamaniac]

You can count me in the vast, vast minority, but my favroite is Lady in the Water. nobody likes that incredibly beautiful movie.

I get ridiculed when I tell folks it's a top 10 movie for me. Giamatti's performance was Oscar worthy and the soundtrack is spectacular.

Battlefield Earth - I couldn't even make it 1/2 way through.

The book is better if you can handle the length.

I agree with a lot of these.

Mine has to be Vanilla Sky

YES! been on my worst list for a long time,
also The Postman
Also agree w Dr t/Women being bad
More recently tht last Rambo movie. I mean the bar was pretty low, and I expected little, and it was even worse than that.

I wouldn't say it's the worst, but I don't like The Patriot. I know a lot of folks do, but it's too silly and a missed opportunity. Only a few good scenes

I know this movie won a ton of awards but I can't sit through Full Metal Jacket. My husband watches it whenever it's on cable and I have to leave the room.

Neverending Story...truly never ending

First half amazing, second half aside from torturing you like war would, is not good.

Dune

Such a great book/series - such a bad movie

I know Kubrick is legendary, I just don't like the majority of his movies. I understand why people like them though. I guess I prefer fluff.

Ice Pirates

A Christmas Story. Released before Thanksgiving 1983, it did so poorly it was pulled from all but 100 theaters BEFORE Christmas 1983.
In 1997 TNT was looking for a cheap film to run a marathon of over Christmas. They picked A Christmas Story. It went from box office bomb, to cult classic, much like The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In both cases I think abuse of alcohol or other mind altering substances may have played a role in that.

The English Patient
Pulp Fiction
Blair Witch Project
Legends of the Fall, A River Runs Through It ... well, most Brad Pitt movies

Never understood the appeal of A Christmas Story.

No "Shark Week"fans? I'd say Ghost Shark is something special.

Lots of awful SyFy movies. Have you seen Santa Jaws? You can stream on the SyFy ROKU app.

I thought this one got decent reviews for the acting at least? There have been a few horror movies with similar plots since - couple stuck on a chairlift at a ski resort overnight and one that includes a lady stuck in a pool under a cover (maybe that was just a plot device and not the whole premise).

Oddly, HBO is playing it as I type this! I haven't seen this since at the movies 17 years ago!

The Fear (1995 b rated horror about a wooden guy named Morty) not Fear w/Marc wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon

oh and Angel Eyes with Jennifer Lopez I literally walked out of the theater 30 min into it.. it’s the one and only time I have just left the movies and gone home super boring.

Napoleon Dynamite

OMG I loved that movie. I thought it was so funny! Yes, It was kind of dumb, but it made me laugh so much.

 

[Weedy]

The Piano
The only movie I ever walked out of.
When he cuts off his wife’s fingers off I was done.

Howard’s End. Sooooooo boooorrrriiinnnggg. The only suspense is when a bookcase falls down ... wow.

Four of us (family) all went and sat through it thinking the others liked it. Nope! We all suffered needlessly for hours. Now anytime one of us watches a bad movie we say, “is it worse than Howard’s End?” (For the record, no movie has surpassed it yet.)

 

[fly girl]

The English Patient is my winner here. Loser?

Are you Elaine? Hope you didn’t lose your friends and job over hating the movie. I suggest Sack Lunch instead!
