What is the worst film you have ever seen?

Tarzan(with Bo Derek)
Citizen Kane
Alien vs. Predator
Plan 9 from Outer Space
Ed Wood

 

Memento. Really????

Here is mine. The first time I fell asleep watching a movie in the theater.

Two of a Kind

 

That's my first thought, really dreadful and actually comical seeing good actors acting so dramatic during such ridiculous scenes.

 

A tie:

Myra Breckinridge (Raquel Welch)
C.C. & Co. (Joe Namath)

These movies were el stinko big time.

 

Films I really, really hated?

The 'Burbs
Joe Vs. The Volcano (probably my vote for worst ever)
The Never Ending Story


Employee Of The Month (Matt Dillon) is really irritating, but I like it in spots nevertheless
Hard Candy (Ellen Page) is a real squirmfest.
The Shape Of Things (Rachel Weisz) is pretty sick too.

 

It's funny that you group some well-documented "turkeys" along with what many consider to be the best film of all time. I don't subscribe to that opinion either - Citizen Kane is DULL, DULL, DULL!

 

Meet the Parents

I'd put Hot Rod above that, but I knew that was going to be dumb when I walked in there. I hadn't counted on it also being stupid, mean-spirited, and irritating as well when I finally walked out. Whereas everyone I talked to couldn't believe that I actually walked out on MTP.

 

Whenever there is a thread similar to this I always say...Gummo!

 

In recent years (in the theatre) "Closer". What a piece of crap!

"Natural Born Killers" was up there too.

 

Thanks for the reminder!
Punch Drunk Love

Agreed.

Being John Malkovich
Shakespeare in Love
Saving Private Ryan especially when Ted Danson showed up!!!

 

Must have been a strange twist of fate

I just watched this on Laserdisc about 2 weeks ago, First time in over 15 years. I can't remember what I liked about it other then the music. Still doesn't hold a candle to

The LADIES MAN or AVP2

 

HARD CANDY was a squirmfest, but everyone I know loved it and thought it was Amazing.

I'm surprised MEMENTO is getting as many mentions, I give it a 10 on every level.

 

The Phantom Menace. That one was it for me; I have never seen the two Star Wars films that followed, and I never will.

 

I've never seen this but the kids love it. It usually sells in about 4 days when our stores see a copy. We can't say that about too many other movies.

 

Vantage Point is the first one that comes to mind.

 

I must confess that all the Star Wars films leave me cold. Call me old-fashioned but I have always felt the target age to be under 10 and fail to see what an adult could get out of them (aside from Pricess whats-her-name of course).

 

She's The One
If Lucy Fell
Fall
Punch Drunk Love
Mallrats
Battlefield Earth
The Brothers McMullen
Lethal Weapon 4
Very Bad Things
Dogma
Zero Effect

 

Same. Saw the first one in the summer of '77 to see what the fuss was about, and that was plenty for me.

 

These are five films I walked out on:

Hardly Working
Jaws 3-D
Ernest Goes To Camp
Mr. Saturday Night
Rocky And Bullwinkle

 

Armageddon
Independence Day

 

Wow. There's a lot of films listed here that I'm desperately wishing I'll get a chance to re-buy yet again on Blu-Ray. Hopefully soon.


My vote goes to 'Myra Breckenridge', though.

 

Same here. I saw the first film a good two years after it was released to see why it had become the biggest grossing film of all time, and my reaction was a big "meh". I only saw the second, third and fourth films because some friends of mine kept dragging me to them. I do like the experience of watching a lightweight movie with people whose company I enjoy, but if it had been entirely up to me I probably would have stopped right after the first Star Wars.

 

has anyone mentioned Dune yet?

 

This is one film that I can completely understand someone hating. Although, I do like it.

 

I have to take issue with "Natural Born Killers" the way Stone mixed 8MM, 16MM, 35MM, & video was groundbreaking and fantastic I thought-the ending got to be a bit much and the violent satire is not everyone's cup of tea, but I thought it was great.

My dislikes-
Every other Coen Bros. movie (Hudsucker Proxy and O Brother, the latter I actually walked out of-I know, people love it for some weird reason).

Any Kevin Smith movie I have seen except "Dogma"

Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" (which was oddly fascinating because it was so misguided and bizarre).

"The Aviator"-Scorcese stinker with Leo DiCaprio looking like a "Bugsy Malone" reject

"Cape Fear" remake-De Niro chewing up the scenery-ridiculous.

"Psycho" remake-the all-time, hands down, worst movie I have ever seen in a theater-but I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, it was so terrible, miscast and misbegotten.
