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

I'd probably have hated Requiem for a Dream less if others (and the film itself) had insisted a bit less strenuously on its greatness. It's not like I was all that hopeful, but the bullshit INTENSITY of it all eventually drove me to fury.

basically how I feel about all Gaspar Noe films

I thought Grand Budapest Hotel was about as amusing as hanging out with the Brodie sock on ilx who yearned to be a bellboy. I notice a lot of ilxors enjoyed that, even if they were only mildly amused at the premise. It passed the time.

Time passed, that's for sure.

I would like to choose Ted too, but as I couldn't make even ten minutes into the torture I feel it wouldn't be a valid choice.

Instead I'll say "Joysticks"

Contenderizer- some say Argento fell out of love with film and is just doing it for the money now.

Don't really know what happened to Peter Jackson.

the first 10 minutes of Ted was the GOOD part

its amazing that the final third of the movie about the pot-smoking teddy bear does not seem to attempt a single joke, it's insane

Lady in the water, no contest

haha.
My vote this year goes to Love Actually. I hated it before everyone else.

it's a bad one, for sure

it might have been hampered by the bad sound in a cheap college town theater, but one of my worst moviegoing experiences is "Enigma":
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0157583/?ref_=nv_sr_1

it was completely devoid of charisma despite a decent cast and I thought I was going to die of boredom

"The Scarlet Letter" (the one with Demi Moore and Gary Oldman) is the worst movie I saw in a cinema

Blast from the Past is perfectly fine. What an odd choice

Yeah people talking rubbish here

Ok.

The worst movie I've ever seen in its entirety regardless of expectations or budget or message or whatever.....hmm

Oh yeah blade 2

Blade 2 is really really bad but just in case, it's got one boondock saint and one bros that's the kind of ill-fated sickness in the genes that you don't overcome by having a highwaymen mumble in the corner so it's not

Wait tho

Queen of the damned? Was there a queen of the damned?

Blade 2 is fine

yeah, i don't see how it's any worse than a million other crap horror sequels. hell, it's better than most. at least it has great monsters and some comedy would-be-coolness (mostly down to ws).

i always liked track 29. depp wonka is an abomination a la hook. profoundly unfunny and uncool. which brings me to the cat in the hat.

I see I already ragged on Animal House ITT. An alternative, which is a bit shady because it's in the form of an MST3K episode, is Beast of Yucca Flats, which I found remarkable for its almost complete lack of film-like features. Obviously the edit for MST3K would skew it but nothing else I've ever watched failed to resemble a film so utterly.

Probably "Howard The Duck"

On the other hand, I'd probably gladly watch that again, or even the un-MSTed version, whereas you couldn't pay me to sit through Animal House or Airplane again

self-xp

I think maybe U-Turn was the worst movie I've ever seen. I'm only counting movies I sat all the way through, so there are many terrible films that are possibly worse than that, of which I only watched maybe 20-30 minutes (including Lady In The Water).

A few months ago I finally watched Clerks II. Whew, that was really terrible! So that's the worst movie I've seen recently.

As for Gaspar Noe, I watched all of Irreversible once and I really wish I hadn't.

queen of the damned is great

xps silby, I was just thinking about the Coleman Francis trilogy and how they're such all-around misanthropic failures to the point of being anti-films that it makes them strangely compelling.

Clerks two, right, is better than clerks

U-Turn's a good pick--only a couple of films away from Nixon and JFK, so I still went to an Oliver Stone film with anticipation. It was so egregiously ugly.

which brings me to the cat in the hat.

oof, the heavy artillery

Reviewer: Scott Oakes (see more about me) from Brooklyn, NY United States
Of the 3 films in the MVP trilogy, I think MXP might be the best. I watched this one with a few friends before
going out on a Saturday night. The comic hijinks of Jack and the other monkeys, as wells as the complete
aloofness of every adult in the movie who fails to see Jack climbing trees, eating food, and sneaking onto
airplanes dressed in a sombrero and pancho is incredible. This film sells itself. 1 monkey + 1 snowboard =
awesome. Is MXS (Most Extreme Surfer) next? I hope so.

i liked u-turn! maybe i was drunk. it had j-lo in it, right? say no more.

U-Turn is profoundly ugly and nasty but I remember it being pretty good, but it was a long time ago I saw it.

on a board with above-average levels of "the pictures are not on trial" i think we may have hit peak "the pictures are not on trial"

I genuinely did not like Drive. Two character-free blonds staring at each other over stylised 80s music for two hours and I just don't get why that's supposed to be good?

Felt the same way about it pretty much but no way is it the worst movie. Vacuous but entertaining at least. Opening scene and music throughout was great.

at the time I felt like that whole aesthetic had been well and truly ploughed through in other areas of pop culture and Drive was playing catch-up. It was just a really uninteresting film and I was surprised at how impressed people were with it. Maybe not the worst film, but definitely the most perplexing and disappointing.

the only film I've walked out of was Pineapple Express, and I had quite enjoyed some of Apatow's comedies up until then. It's hard to get stoner movies that bad but he pulled it off

Clerks two, right, is better than clerks

oh god, no

this movie Lazer Team that was a Youtube film or something that made it to the big screen in select theatres.

idk wtf it was going for but it missed wildly

Oh, you know what was fucking terrible? Track 29.

I always used to say this was the worst film I'd ever seen but that was years and years ago and I'm sure I've seen many worse since, I still think Gary Oldman is absolutely fucking dreadful and indefensible though. I think the last film I hated with a vengeance was "Grand Budapest Hotel" but it's not even close to being the worst film I've ever seen tbf.

oh, Thinner as well

i liked u-turn! maybe i was drunk. it had j-lo in it, right? say no more.

I watched it on mushrooms and liked it afaicr. Other mushroom movies were "Elf" (wtf, why?!?!??), "Guns of San Sebastian" (a faux Spaghetti Western, which we found hilarious), that Before Sunrise or Beyond Sunset or whatever thing w/ Julie Delpy, a film called "Once a Thief" with Alain Delon as some sort of Croatian and Van Heflin playing his brother (?!?!?) or was it Jack Palance? Anyway Ann-Margret was in it too.... er... what are we talking about again?

I watched thinner last night

The purge deserves mention

Death in Sarajevo won the Jury Grand Prix at Berlin, and has been said to be Altman-like, but it's pure crap. A lot of different stories, but none of them interesting, and then when they begin to fit together it's completely pointless. That's perhaps the worst film I've seen since The Congress, which I've already mentioned several times in this thread...

Of course, that's not true. I watched Suicide Squad. But you all know how crap that is.

Mad Dog Time (aka Trigger Happy) is pretty bad considering the cast: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116953/

^ One of my favorite bad movies, seen it a dozen times. Probably less entertaining when you're sober tbh.

Had to watch because Diane Lane.

boondock saints

Burt Reynolds ...
'Wacky' Jacky Jackson

oh, Thinner as well

Ah ha ha. Emulating that lead actor's weird mugging throughout the movie is one of my imitations that's guaranteed to get a laugh out of my sister (alongside Judge Reinhold's expressions of childlike whimsical wonder in Vice Versa, the weird kid who played Omri in Indian in the Cupboard, and the doubly weird kid who played the younger brother in Teen Witch).
