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

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

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

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

The Bear! Holy shit, that film has stayed with me since I was really really little, solely for this MIND-BLOWING scene:

Couldn't even begin to figure out the true right answer. But when I thought about the question in terms of the worst movie I ever saw where I went in hoping for something good, Gangs of New York came to mind before anything else. I truly hated that, and the bits and parts I'll come across on TV haven't aged any better.

_The avengers is incredibly bad, good shout_

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

I am about 99% certain that no one gave this movie a good review

Yeah i think ppl are confusing it with avengers assemble which is awes

The fact that Late Night Shopping hasn't been mentioned yet makes me think that no-one here has seen Late Night Shopping

that one clip from the bear is amazing!

with the avengers it was more that i *like* uma and rafe and connery and tongue-in-cheeky spy stuff but ugh

the worst film i have ever seen is ted

You know what, I forgot The Smurfs. So horrible in every way.

i think a movie has to have some regard and canonization / be a reflection of a big lie for me to really hate it. in that spirit it's gotta be the searchers. like inhaling mold spores.

i keep seeing this trailer for a movie about a white british family on holiday in [unspecified brown country] when the tsunami hits. that looks pretty terrible.

The last film I saw where I had to keep pausing it and willing myself to go on and finish was Woody Allen's Scoop, which must win the all-time prize for the most tragic fall from greatness. I mean you don't expect much from Jess Franco, but this was from the Annie Hall guy? 30 years is a long time I guess, but I just can't imagine how it even got made. I think of Woody and the editor trying not to meet each other's eyes in the editing suite, occasionally doing so and looking away in an embarrassed manner.

I forgot tim burton, so wonka, apes, todd all get him a special mention

LITTLE MAN

the non-cronenberg crash is definitely up there though

I've never seen Patch Adams, but I hear rotten things about it.

A conflicted answer: a date invited me over to her place to watch a film she had been assigned to view: Julien Donkey-Boy. Prior to putting it on, however, we had struggled to find something to chat about; afterward, we immediately bonded over how much we disliked it and subsequently made out. So I have a secret affection for it solely for that reason.

Scoop was fluff but I thought it was pleasant and amusing fluff. (Admittedly, I saw it on a plane and didn't have to pay for it.) Seriously, have you seen Enough?

pay it forward is the worst film i have ever seen on a plane. and i saw k-pax and that deniro coba gooding diving suit thing on planes, so theres some competition there

cobra gooding jr

i didnt want to hurt his feelings if he was googling himself

good man

tbh i much preferred 'scoop' to 'match point' which i thought was pretty boring. the worst allen i've seen is easily 'hollywood ending,' the one where his character goes blind while directing a movie.

I saw Scoop on a plane too, I think it was distributed mainly to that market.

i am tired of these motherfucking http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTI1MjU3MTI2MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDgxNTE4MQ@@._V1._SY314_CR0,0,214,314_.jpg

that deniro coba gooding diving suit thing

i have an inexplicable affection for this movie and i don't know if i've even seen all of it

we have talked about this! u r crazy fyi

i still possess deep hatred for '3000 miles to graceland' but it's probably not the worst i've seen.

The only thing I remember about Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend (aside from dinosaur) was obligatory '80s nudeboob in a PG movie that couldn't have possibly been intended for anyone but children.

Battlefield Earth, probably.It's ugly to look at, badly acted, based on Scientology, etc.

Cuba Gooding has done some bad 'uns. Like "Boat Trip."

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/71/Boat_Trip_movie.jpg/220px-Boat_Trip_movie.jpg

didn't know al leong was in boat trip

Scoop ain't that bad.

Liquid Sky is a blast.

Worst movie I've ever seen is Date Movie, which I still cannot even believe that I've seen. America's Sweethearts would be close though; I cannot remember the last big studio film that I've seen that was that poorly made.

Cuba Gooding has done some bad 'uns.

Has he done a good 'un since he won his Oscar (will out myself as somewhat of a fan of As Good As It Gets)?
