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

Oh god, Sextet! Keith Moon's acting was the best in the film!

LOL @ The Pest. My brothers memorized the opening song to that.

the two worst movies i have ever seen are :

• Finishing the Game: The Search for a New Bruce Lee, which attempts to be a retro mockumentary and is so joyless and offensivley unfunny
• Internet Dating which is double-painful when you consider that Katt Williams wants to "do movies instead of stand-up"

Does anyone remember 51st state with Robert Carlyle and Samuel L Jackson? Because that.

Been meaning to see it for that reason alone. Despite his reputation as a flailing madman, Moon had an incredible sense of comic timing and, surprisingly, restraint.

Daisy Diamond, 2007 dannish film. Saw it at a festival and it will never forget how terrible it was. Film is avaible on youtube.

Me and You and Everyone We Know taught me to loathe that whole whimsical vaguey 'meaningful' indie genre

i hated that film.

worst film i ever saw was a rom-com so entirely featureless that I forgot everything about it almost the second I walked out of the cinema. It had a curiously unattached feeling, as if it had just 'picked up' at the beginning and 'left off' at the end, so that it felt like a midweek doldrums soap episode. I should say I used to go and see rom-coms a LOT, so was perfectly prepared for the probable absence of any likable 'rom' and definitely prepared for the absence of any 'com'.

I'm kind of excluding films like Ocean's 13 and IJ and the Crystal Skull from this for being so execrably mystifyingly bad that they feel like something else, other than film, other even than bad film - a genre where the pained incredulous horror with which you view them is entirely the point of going to see them.

Cocktail. Tom Cruise is the shiny-toothed anus of the universe, and seeing him shrieking "Addicted To Love" is a nightmare that has stayed with me for years.

ya, he is the best part of the movie

I may be alone in having actually preferred the Director's Cut of Donnie Darko. Perhaps it's just because I saw it first (but I also think INXS works much better for that opening scene than Echo and the Bunnymen!). I used to love this movie but I'm not sure what I'd think now. Thinking back on it, it does seem like there were some untied loose ends.

I enjoyed director's cut as well. But i probably saw both versions once and that's it. Cool movie, don't need to think too much about it!

Crystal Skull at least has the part where Indy is looking at a mushroom cloud, which sort of justifies the entire rest of the film.

Until I saw he directors cut, I'd always assumed the use of "the killing moon" was intended as a joke (bunny men, get it!?), though the directors cut revealed that a lot of what was good about DD was accidental. Kelley's next two movies only proved it.

heh i loved southland tales but hated donnie darko

Southland Tales has its fans, which I guess I can sorta understand without at all being able to sympathize. I doubt The Box has many.

Bad Boys 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Southland Tales

It has to be "Very Bad Things" -- just a horrible splooge of self-satisfied cynicism and misogyny. Also maybe "Duplicity" -- not a truly terrible movie, but smugness of the freaking scale. Also recently that second Sherlock movie was just such an aggressive and wilful misunderstanding of the source material -- unforgivable.

Oooh I have to see "Very Bad Things" again. I loved "Southland Tales". Apparently "The Box" does have its defenders but they are in Europe and saw the movie with subtitles, presumably with an entirely new script and/or plot

Just Ctrl-F'd "Huckabees" and came up blank. Just me then.

this guy liked it

I watched it just recently & was impressed at how he managed to take such a simple richard matheson story and turn it into the matrix reloaded

lock thread

i am friendly w/ someone who had a hand in making that but have never seen it.

what makes it so much worse than your typical lazy action film?

i don't see many action films because i don't like them so that one sticks out in my head whenever i'm asked about the worst movie ever. tbh i remember nothing about it except that it was bad.

if it had a less terrible title you'd probably have forgotten it

SPOILER ALERT its ranked #1 here:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/features/special/2007/wotw/

lmao this looks amazing

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1138687-testosterone/

Peter, the hero, aged 20, finds himself on a deserted Greek island with no other men in sight. The women of the island, regardless of age harass him sexually. What starts off as a typical male sexual fantasy turns out into a nightmare.

haha the second sherlock movie was one of the most ridiculous things i've ever seen

What the hell, someone upthread doesn't like "Airplane" !?!?!???!

i liked it though because one of the characters was named sherlock holmes and that is all i need

I watched this a lot as a kid, but I assume it is terrible:

worst "documentary" would be a good companion thread

Man did I hate this Barbara Kopple sell-out doc called "My Generation," about the links between the original Woodstock and the shit 1994 and 1999 festivals. I saw it premiered at the Toronto Film Fest, and I asked her how she could possibly make this movie and include no mention of the numerous rape accusations that followed the latter fest, and she sort of shrugged off the question, though it was clear before that that the movie was a puff-piece whose POV was connected to the participation of Woodstock's equally sell-out boomer corporate overseers.

9from Wiki) In 2011, Premise Media Holdings LP, the company that produced Expelled, declared bankruptcy

:D

those fucking Loose Change 'documentaries' have got to qualify here too

Oh god, have you seen it?

I tried to watch the first one online and made it through about 30 minutes before I was ready to end it all

DIRE does not describe

ugh sorry I thought that was just a straight clip but it's got those shitty title cards in it

It's hard to avoid those.

they should have warnings, lol

That documentary is indeed a giant orgy of fallacies.
