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

someone upthread listed 500 days of summer

as bad as any

Liquid Sky is great just for the opening scene in the club. and the sdtk

Djp, true to form, you have used ilx to remind me of something I had done a damn good job of forgetting. Thanks for the Futterwacken, I guess.

So Long, And Thanks For All The Futterwacken

how could anyone say a film with this scene in it is "worst ever" come on now

Saw this when it came out, I was probably 14. My whole family walked out. Horrible, horrible 3D film with no plot to speak of.

also Liquid Sky rules and the OST LP is great.

Love Actually

As "inept" films go, I Accidentally Domed Your Son was tougher to sit through than any piece of shit I've ever seen.

LOL didn't even notice it was mentioned upthread

Americas sweethearts and face off are great

The avengers is incredibly bad, good shout

I've seen a lot of mediocrities, but as for truly wretchedly horrible films, I stop watching as soon as I can see that is the case, usually within 15-20 minutes.

The film that came to mind when I let my mind scan back was something called The Story of Us, I think. I endured this film because my wife's friend thought it would somehow help us get through a bad patch in our marriage. We got through it, but this film cannot claim a shred of credit for that.

I kinda want to watch I Accidentally Domed Your Son now hmmmmmm

I would read the beginning of this thread first: John Justen and Fluffy Bear will watch it.

Bad Boys 2 was hot, loud garbage. Almost walked out on that one.

haha I loved that one too

Oh yeah bad boys 2, appalling
Hot tub time machine

How about Life is Beautiful?

I Accidentally Sonned Your Dome, Wite Kid

Battlefield Earth

The avengers is incredibly bad, good shout

i'd vote the Avengers for "worst movie that got almost universally good reviews"

Or maybe Crystal Skull. No, wait, Battlefield Earth was definitely worse.

oh shit, i think i still stick with vulgar, but i did forget about terry gilliams tideland.

i accidentally domed your son is one of my favorite movie watching experiences but we were all so so incredibly drunk

vulgar is def. up there.

i went to see the "car 54, where are you?" movie (1994, starring buster poindexter and john c. mcginley) with my dad and sister and we were the only ones there and my dad and sister walked out about half an hour in but i stayed and watched the whole thing.

other actors who star in car 54 where are you, apparently:
fran drescher
rosie o'donnell
al lewis
nipsey russell

Daniel Baldwin as Don Motti
Jeremy Piven as Herbert Hortz
Tone Loc as Handsome cab driver
The Ramones as themselves

100 Girls, probably

Star Trek V is pretty dire. My friend's Dad fell asleep and we all agreed he had the best time at the theater.

Wish I could say nolan s batman but joke s on me because I saw all three of them. fuck that guy.

Amateur and silly is cool so I go for black hawk down: gross, barbaric and so deafeningly loud.

Lol at placing eyes wide shut in company of the hours and magnolia

yeah i can't say TDKR is the worst ever cause it was just oppressively boring but nolan is my least favorite director

Honestly if The Dark Knight or Magnolia or The Avengers or The Player or any of those is anything even close to honestly "the worst film you ever saw," even going by H'wood studio standards, you have led a charmed fuckin' life.

you're right, the worst film i ever saw was some high schooler's camcorder noir where everyone wore fedoras, let's talk about that

Context is important, as covered. Except for the avengers.

Matrix three, obv.

Second half of prometheus

The Maltese Brony. Xp

Like in a year where the studios released shitty horror movie after shitty horror movie, plus an attempt to make Tyler Perry of all people into an action hero, plus another shitty Gerard Butler romcom, and a shitty version of The Lorax. . . You're gonna go with the Batman movie? GTFO.

Prometheus was not by a long shot the worst movie I ever saw, but it may have been the biggest letdown.

It's pretty easy. The Lorax and the rest are easy targets. A far worse aesthetic failure is an ambitious movie made with intelligence and craft in which everything goes wrong.

like The Dark Knight

friends of mine when i was a kid said this was the worst movie they ever saw:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bear_%281988_film%29

haven't seen it though, guess it was well received!

Anthony Newley's 1969 Fellini-pastiche musical, "Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?", is actually even more excruciating to watch than the title would suggest--against my better judgment, I saw it several years ago with a Media Studies friend who was a little too open to camp esoterica. Harlan Veidt's 1940 anti-Semitic melodrama, "Jud Süß," which I saw in the context of a course on German film history, is competently constructed from a formal point of view, but completely sickening ethically and politically.

why beat up maimed children when bludgeoning malevolent adults is more satisfying?

fwiw I said "The Dark Knight Rises", I thought "The Dark Knight" was OK

Second half of it, come on!

The actual worst movie i've ever seen was called kingdom of the spiders starring w shatner i didnt know who w shatner was but i was aware it was a terrible movie even at age nine, it ends with shatner sorry

SPOILER

it ends with shatner looking at more spiders than he had counted on and he says MY GOD in what i now know to be a v shatneresque way

xxxpost sounds like it would make a fine double bill with The Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go

The actual worst movie i've ever seen was called kingdom of the spiders starring w shatner i didnt know who w shatner was but i was aware it was a terrible movie even at age nine, it ends with shatner sorry

is this the one where in the last scene the camera captures the small town....ENSHROUDED IN A GIANT WEB

friends of mine when i was a kid said this was the worst movie they ever saw:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bear_%281988_film%29

haven't seen it though, guess it was well received!

wtf, the Bear is great!

V likely alfred, v likely

star trek V did have one of shatner's finest moments:

sukiyaki western django

star trek v and baby secret of the lol legend cannot be on this thread because they both spawned awesome Jerry Goldsmith soundtracks.

the Bear is Jean-Jacques Annaud so I can easily believe it is either a) amazing or b) the worst fucking garbage
