OPO, so what was the worst film you ever saw?

loooool @ SM

xp Ha. That's kind of what I suspected. So I present to you The Boondock Saints - fundamental incompetence AND sickness of existence.

Leaving Las Vegas

or Crash

I remember being seriously weirded out by Howard the Duck on telly. I must have been around 9 or 10 and it was too much for my tiny mind. Really want to revisit it now.

i guess you haven't seen Boondock Saints 2

It's in my Netflix queue, obvs

I have a beautiful new username thanks to this thread.

I loved Howard the Duck as a kid.

The part in Howard the Duck where the dude starts morphing into an alien in the car and everyone is just losing their shit is hilarious and insane and actually pretty terrifying.

Hudson Hawke probably

Actually I probably hated "Howard" more than necessary because I was basically forced to see it instead of "Back To School", as I hinted upthread.

"Titanic" I still enjoy as a disaster-movie (if only Maureen McGovern sang the Celine song)

Avatar was awesome, I don't want to argue through it again but just fyi there is an ilxor (me) who holds this opinion, kthxbye

Beware the Blob is really quite unbelievable

america's sweethearts
sorority boys
mister lonely
bruno
revenge of the nerds

I would think the worst film would have to be really amateur

Oh heavens no! People who don't know what they're doing or who have nothing to lose often make some fascinating stuff. It's the people with money/comfort/connections/reputations who often half-ass their way through a creative endeavor that has no reason to exist.

Lost in Space

xpost you mean Beware! The Blob

Honestly guys most movies mentioned on this thread are at worst just really mediocre. Try harder.

As I said amateurs basically get an E, for effort.

I don't agree with the rest of your statement. Nothing cultural needs a 'reason to exist'.

'howard' is extra-reprehensible because i can totally imagine a great film being made from the original comic book and now it'll never happen.

Spawn

If remake-happy Hollywood had some truly daring minds, they'd do remakes of BAD films and try to improve them

Hmmm i might have to change my vote to If Lucy Fell.

I feel like I need to adhere to some sort of formula to figure out my actual worst movie. Like "inept - amateurish - (unintentionally) entertaining + insulting + rage inducing". Crash is definitely the winner there. The prestige is just gravy. Utterly baffling gravy.

I liked Hudson Hawke just for Sandra Bernhard singing "I've got the power" while surrounded by her young board of directors

If remake-happy Hollywood had some truly daring minds, they'd do remakes of BAD films and try to improve them

Doesn't this just seem like the biggest no-brainer ever? I think the same thing every time I hear a cover song that pales in comparison to the vastly superior original. Why bother?

I'd say shitty J-Lo thriller Enough ...

This is my go-to answer for this question.

Hudson Hawk is awesome

In high school i got in that phase of "Let's watch a terrible movie! So bad it's GOOD lmfao" that most onion a/v club commenters apparantly never grew out of

Anyway, I watched 'Bio-Dome' and it was just UNCOMFORTABLE with the things it thought were "jokes." It was just depressing,

For me it has to be a made-for-a-tv-movie. I remember a friend buying a bundle of 20 or so DVDs for £10 I think. I love the idea that he thought that was a bargain. The Shark Attack trilogy was included but I only saw the first two films.

Mutant/Forbidden Planet is mind-bogglingly bad but I also really enjoyed it

bio-dome is awesome

some of my worsts:

Crash ('05)
The Dark Knight
Forrest Gump
Mrs Doubtfire

dave kehr made a case for 'gump' being sadder and more complex than its reputation, but i've never really felt like revisiting it.

Stephen King's Thinner is a perfect storm of grotesque racism, horrifying misogyny and sheer, unbridled incompetence.

it's sad alright

'fatal attraction' is right down there with the worst for me -- misogynistic shit.

oh god, remember Disclosure?

In high school i got in that phase of "Let's watch a terrible movie! So bad it's GOOD lmfao" that most onion a/v club commenters apparantly never grew out of

the only mainstream comedy that this really works for is Zoolander

lol Disclosure

I actually saw Disclosure in a dollar theater with my friend. I don't remember any of it.

there was definitely a weird trend for a while of movies about glum, well-meaning guys getting their lives ruined by evil sex-crazy harpies.

most of which starred Michael Douglas.

Most of the ops on display aren't chall enough imo

was hoping The Dark Knight would be

entirely too many things for me to list, but the most recent film I paid money to see in a theater that I should have walked out on was Cosmopolis

The Help was grotesque.

okay lol
