I've never seen Forrest Gump, guessing it's bad because it's reactionary bollox?
Voted for Awakenings, cos the source material wld make a good movie, just not one starring Robin Williams and directed by Penny Marshall.

American beauty
Gump, shawshank, braveheart are all good-to-ok movies to leave on while channelsurfing

its gotta be godfather 3 for me. it made me bored and angry.

"bored and angry" common reactions to these, as opposed to eighties winners, which were merely "boring."

Angry indicates some level of engagement, unless it's anger I'm so bored.

As for the best of this lot, I'd say Pulp Fiction or Fargo, cause I'm boring.

Prince of Tides I saw at the time but only remember that it was like an abuse survivor narrative for 2/3 of the running time before inexplicably turning into a Streisand romcom.

I will never not vote for 'american beauty' in a 'worst film of X' poll

I would add The Crying Game to that pair for my own top three.

mind is blown rediscovering that the Fugitive was nominated but I easily picked The Godfather Part III. There are plenty of movies I enjoyed less on the list and many I haven't seen because of how bad they look. But holy fucking cow Godfather Part III is just...such a lol.
― da croupier, Thursday, 31 January 2013 14:10 (eleven years ago) link
it's possible i would have voted for something else if worst wasn't in all caps in the thread title
― da croupier, Thursday, 31 January 2013 14:14 (eleven years ago) link
Wait what's wrong with the Fugitive? I watched that a couple weeks ago and it's good!
Is American Beauty really that bad? I haven't seen it since it came out and don't really remember much about it. Now I'm tempted to rewatch just to see why it's so awful.

It's with little doubt the smuggest movie of all 50 of these.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Thursday, 31 January 2013 14:20 (eleven years ago) link
sorry, i don't actually have a problem with The Fugitive, I'm just shocked to learn a decent action/adventure based on a TV franchise got a best picture nom. I knew Tommy Lee Jones won but I didn't think the academy affection went beyond that.

Cider House Rules being underrated (overlooked?) itt, truly dire film
― berner herzog (fadanuf4erybody), Thursday, 31 January 2013 14:40 (eleven years ago) link
yeah you'd have to pay me to watch that. this is definitely the kind of list where trying to figure out the worst worst would lead to such a soul-crushing vortex of despair that i just stuck with the best worst.

Why don't we drop this subject? It's one thing to engage in badinage with these youngsters, but this sort of thing could be so easily misunderstood.

It's been ages since I've seen most of these films. Voted for the worst one I could remember seeing, which was Schindler's List.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 31 January 2013 14:59 (eleven years ago) link
haha what. There's certainly rong in the film, but no way is it worse than the abortion politics of The Cider House Rules or Kevin Spacey working out.

Um, I even have doubts about ... this picture ... boss.

Saw Schindler's List with my church youth group. Some of them nearly got us all kicked out after they started laughing when the elderly prisoners were forced to run naked in the camps.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Thursday, 31 January 2013 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
Schindler's List is in no way worse than Life Is Beautiful. My friend dragged me to that movie and I am still somewhat angry and resentful that I had to watch the whole thing.
― Ulna (Nicole), Thursday, 31 January 2013 15:19 (eleven years ago) link
A very tight competition, but I'm going with Life is Beautiful.

The Godfather Part III is not a bad film, merely a comedown.

Schindler's List is tortureporn with the point that everyone should just hope for rescue from rich white men. Life is Beautiful is funny.
Also, I haven't seen Life is Beautiful in ten years. It might be worse than I recall.
