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

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:

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.

southy starring donnie wahlberg.

looking italian starring matt leblanc.

jane austen's mafia (lloyd bridges last film).

@josh in chicago: actually you'll see two people have said airplane was one of the worst film they saw. I'm one of them and that movie really did not make me laugh a single time. It truly felt like a total waste of however much time the movie lasts.

The Box is a worthy contender for worst big budgeter actually

The Box is decent if you watch it with the sound muted.

I'm told it's not so bad with the TV off or, preferably, broken.

it's a little better then

Votes for Airplane and I <3 Huckabees make me sad.

i loved Huckabees when it came out, but i caught it on tv recently and it didn't hold up too well. mark wahlberg still pretty good in it though.

i loved huckabees when it came out and caught it on tv recently and loved it just as much

not sure if i'd have loved it if i hadn't seen it when it came out first though

yeah it may be a highly personal thing. somehow it felt pretty smug to me this time. didn't help that i had just seen silver linings playbook.
