Haaaaaaaaaaa,What In Your Personal Opinion Is The Worst Movie-Ever?

... for best movie ever!

 

I burned a re-edit that took the film down to 75 minutes, and it removes a lot of those scenes. If it weren't for Stuntman Mike's early scenes I could probably take it down to 50 minutes and lead with the first group of girls getting offed.

 

Freddy Got Fingered

 

Wa da tah!

 

Funny good bad Plan 9 from outer space

Bad bad dreadful bad Irreversible, simply the worst movie I've ever sat through and the only movie I've ever fully regretted ever seeing....

 

Old bad movies arent so bad to me..at least they seem original, modern bad movies feel worse to me, i snuck into ice age 2 or 3, felt like demanding my...time back?

 

I might have one, or two. Personally I think Be Cool and Get Shorty qualify as utter crap. Mr. & Mrs. Smith close runner-up... I'd rather have to sit through Moonraker for a second time than even five minutes of these three, at least the Derek Meddings models were brilliant.

 

Get Shorty was great.

 

Way too many to mention. But...

The Sgt Pepper movie comes to mind. There is nothing charming about it. Man, it’s a dog and a true embarrassment for all involved. It cannot be defended.

A Star Is Born, the Babs/Kris version. The cabaret disco stylings are wretched and the “love” scenes are maybe the least inspiring I’ve ever witnessed on screen. Like two chickens pecking for corn. It’s just so bad. Barbra’s numerous costume changes...OMG...the bath scene. If you haven’t seen this you should.

One oft mentioned that I quite enjoy is The Creeping Terror, the one featuring a monster that’s basically a shag carpet thrown on top of some guy, along with a narration because the majority of the soundtrack was lost or incorrectly captured.

 

I've never read the book and I followed Lynch's film just fine... but it could have used at least another 15 minutes to fully breathe more.

But you're right that some scripted scenes - not "huge chunks" - were not filmed; Lynch was taking too much time in shooting the movie, sometimes coming up with whole new scenes, and they were falling further behind schedule... so producer Raffaela DeLaurentiis ordered Lynch not to film certain scenes (mostly in the latter half of the film) which they knew would have been cut anyway - Lynch was under contractual mandate from day one to deliver a film no longer than 150 minutes at most - plus after principal photography was over, they viewed a rough cut assembly and still thought it too long and protracted... so the scene of Paul taking the Water of Life in the desert was shot to tighten up that subplot, whereas before it consisted of half a dozen scenes to get to the point.

If they'd filmed the 135-page shooting script in it's entirety and Lynch had final cut, Dune could have been a masterpiece, alas...

Star Wars (1977) - 121 minutes
The Matrix - 136 minutes
The Fellowship of the Ring - 178 mins

I hear this all the time and it's simply not practical... when Guillermo del Toro was directing The Hobbit, he thought the novel should and could be told in a single movie... but they soon discovered during the writing process that The Hobbit is a deceptively simple book; that when they were outlining the narrative structure, they realized that it's a much grander story in scope than they thought and two movies was absolutely necessary.

I like The Hobbit films a great deal; they're flawed yes, don't hold a candle to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the HFR digital cinematography is utterly ghastly to behold and nearly ruins the whole thing... but they're exceptionally well-made high fantasy films (whatever your opinion of how good an adaptation of the literary source they are!), and the world-building in them is just extraordinary.

Has anyone mentioned The Phantom Menace on this thread yet... I'll throw that one into the mix... with the exception of the Podrace sequence, it's like Ed Wood was given a hundred-million dollar budget!!!

Speaking of which, Plan 9 from Outer Space is certainly a howler that thoroughly deserves it's reputation... but at least we got Tim Burton's brilliant Ed Wood out of it!

"PULL THE STRING!!!"

 

Oh, I don't know. I found this one to be ghastly.

 

You really think this ranks among the very worst of all time? Not top Murray for me , but, an enjoyable historical/period film/remake that is elevated greatly because of Bill Murray.

 

Ignoring zero budget stuff, the worst film ever made that cost real money is Jack Reacher 2

 

Flesh Gordon: intended as a pornographic parody of Flash Gordon, but fails at being either sexy or funny.

 

Sooo...many!

But I happen to enjoy certain bad movies. At least once. Like the brain in a jar thing. Plan 9 From Outer Pace. Some of them are really fun: Girl's Town, with its all-star cast, judo girls, Mel Torme, and nuns wielding baseball bats.

However we did walk out, actually walk out, of two films even having paid for them and everything! Waterworld, and some Mel Brooks piece of ick.

PS: I thought Dune and Ishtar both hilarious...and I LOVE Teenagers From Outer Space. Hope some day to make a short with non-sync sound like that.

 

I'm having second thoughts.
I don't think those super low budget movies should count, with no budget it's pretty hard to make a good movie. There have been some but for the most part you know what you're getting before you pay your money

 

The first thing that came to my mind.

 

This..or "Give My Regards To Broadstreet"!

 

What is truly amusing is the number of people on this forum who try to impress us with their discriminant taste by listing good and popular things as bad.

 

"Good" & "popular" aren't always equal.

Take Game Night, which I mentioned in an earlier post. It's got an 85% positive rating on RT, both my wife & I were really looking forward to it, & within about 20 minutes we'd both had enough & left the theater. We found it nothing but loud, obnoxious & extremely unfunny. I understand that others liked it & that's cool, but we hated it.

 

That may be...but, is it 'the worst movie ever'?......

 

Any movie I walk out on within the 20 minute mark certainly falls within that category to me.

 

My usual answer to this: Blues Brothers 2000

There are others though.

 

I found Murray to be woefully inadequate for this role. It's cringeworthy. He falls back on his SNL schtick to try & communicate spiritual awakening. No depth.

 

That may well be the worst movie poster ever.
