is it a normal thing if i haven't seen any of these 100 movies?

i'm gonna put some serious thought into "worst movie" and report back. good question.

i think at least half of these movies are fascinating:

THE TREE OF LIFE

^^ playing this thread correctly

all those movies on the RT list are boring choices

movies that are so inept that they're pointless are just that, they bounce off your brain and fly away forever in their weightlessness. they're fun to hate. i'm only going to invest my searing hatred into movies borne from the minds of individual self-obsessed shitheads that inexplicably manage to convince audiences of their great importance

also guessing ~20% of those movies are secret masterpieces

i'm not remotely trolling or hyperbolising, i've seen plenty of badly-acted, amateur or just plain shoddy films and the tree of life is easily worse than all of them

oooh shit, have we all seen the Fred Durst directed 'The Education of Charlie Banks'? that has to be down/up there with the worst films ever.

Good shout on Law Abiding Citizen. I'd wiped that two hours of my life from my mind entirely.

Good one. You almost got me there.

Feel like the only place this thread can go from here is a full-blown ballot poll a la the recent genre ones

Also I didn't hate due date as much as I'd planned to, considering zach g is the most unpleasant man in film and "PT&A with the heart cut out" is such an offensive premise to me

I've seen hundreds of movies - hundreds! - and "Tree of Life" is easily the worst. I have never seen a movie worse than "Tree of Life," and can't imagine a worse movie released this year, let alone probably, oh, this week. It just does absolutely nothing right and is not even pretty to look at.

That dog has the right idea. "Tree of Life" is really that terrible, and deserves to be at the top of any worst movies ever list. Seriously. I've seen it. It is really that bad. And it's over two hours long!

Wait, I may be confusing "Tree of Life" with something else. Is that the one where Rob Schneider is trying not to get raped in prison?

Man, I love 'supposed worst film ever of its time' Myra Breckenridge, and think if Gore and Rex has been like "it's a cool film gfy" it'd never have gained its bad reputation

If there was ever a film that should have been directed by Russ Meyer instead, Myra Breckenridge is it.

that wiki list is pure bullshit because troll 2 is one of the most amazing viewing experiences of all time.

Armegeddon

the only time in my life I saw a film for free and wanted my money back

try it when you're drunk - it's a much more enjoyable experience :)

actually that's a poll -- which of these terrible movies would NOT be any better watched while drunk

tiptoes is fucking awesome

I've gotta go w/ The Shipping News, just b/c: (01) it sucks, (02) plodding fucking boring, (03) urgh Kevin Spacey, (04) having the nerve to go and piss all over a perfectly good Annie Proulx novel, (05) such smug fucking Oscar bait

Lex hardly the first person to list a movie here tbf

let me restate mulholland drive

xpost yeah I loved the book so much and the trailers looked godawful I decided to stay well away from it

OMG, speaking of Kevin Spacey: "David Gale!"

seriously, i think it's one of the funniest movies i've ever seen. i was dragged to see it in the theater. real talk it's the only time a movie has been immediately 'so bad it's good' w/o a layer of distance or audience knowingness; everything is just so badly done. iirc we were suppressing laughter thru the whole thing: dead cate blanchett with lolling tongue, spacey saying indignantly "i will not have pirate treasure in this house!!"

(spoilers)

oh wait has no one mentioned "Bless the Child" with Kim Basinger yet because wow

I just opened this thread and have idea what movie yr talking abt but this is how I felt about OC and Stiggs

I really hated OC and Stiggs. Lots of buddies stanning for this at the time. This is an Altman miss and plus FUCK NATIONAL LAMPOON

I saw K-Pax in a theater when it came out. It was extremely weak.

It felt like the kind of movie that gets played when your teacher is sick and there is a sub and you just sleep for an hour while it's on in the background.

Oh shiiiit bless the child is legit hilarious

i now remember that i was also dragged to "bubba ho-tep" and it was really bad.

crazy talk!

Actually... I see some terrible stuff for work, and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too takes some beating.

Avatar, no challops intended. It's just a really, really bad script.

Avatar is one of the dumbest movies ever made but, aside from the 3D headache it gave me, I loved the shit out of it.

(not enough to paint myself blue and go live in a tree, mind you)

What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? is the first that comes to mind. just infuriating like few others

that may not count but damn

I have a new contender. In fact, not even a contender, a clear and obvious winner so far ahead of the field that the other bad films I've ever seen have given up and gone back to the barn.

Like, if I told you this film features an indie-rocker in actual blackface and that still wasn't even the most o_0 part of the film, would that give you some idea? I'm half convinced this isn't even supposed to be a real film, and just a parody entry for "Germany's most disturbing home videos."

can't remember if I nominated Amadeus up thread but amadeus
