I was at a training course at work, where the ice breaker was to name your favorite movie ever, round the table. Opting not to pick this moment to defend the honor of Tinto Brass or Jodorowsky, I chose Touch of Evil (a well-liked thriller, with Charlton Heston in). I spoke briefly, but with feeling. The guy running the course, who had introduced himself as "a bit of a movie buff", then rounded off the exercise by talking contemptuously about people "who had had a bit of time to think even coming up with with black and white films", before going on to enthuse about The Shawshank Redemption.
I rose and snapped his neck like a twig, the cheers of my colleagues ringing in my ears.

We saw a pirated version of Babel without any subtitles, which made it vaguely interesting.

I also found House of 1000 Corpses to be pretty head-clutchingly bad.
Same here.

The first thing I think of when I think of horrible movies is 8mm but I feel a bit shamed by some of the awesome challoping on here and I think I need to raise my game.

Maybe go for "anything with fucking superheroes in it that's repped for by adults" or something.

How could I forget - Lady in the Water!
― I ♠ my display name (sarahel), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:03 (fourteen years ago) link
hating Lady in the Water is less "challop" and more "obvop"

Obvious but needs stating. Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Per Southpark: George Lucas & Steven Spielberg raped Indy!

i was going to go for "all live-action movies suck"

I forgot Jeepers Creepers which is actually dece for 15 minutes but that just sets the audience up to be more devastated by the incredible ham-fisted cackathon that it turns into.

sorry sarahel, that read like it was in response to Noodle's "must challop HARDER" gauntlet-throwing

I think both Velvet Goldmine and 5th Element fall into the strong minority following category - which is the nearest you're going to get to cult movie in the download era. I'm more interested in hearing about generally popular movies that you really hate.
― Soukesian, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:08 (fourteen years ago) link
xp max: - you only like cartoons?
― I ♠ my display name (sarahel), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:09 (fourteen years ago) link
only non-disney cartoons

made in the 90s
tbh anything that isn't an Eastern European animation from the early 60s is despicable.

many xposts - so we're talking like, 'Casablanca' hating challops then?

this movie is actually about a sheeple, er, a sheeperson

OMG yes, this! I caught the first 15 minutes one night before I had to go somewhere, and was kinda bummed I had to leave a pretty awesome set-up for a great horror movie. Boy was I pissed when I rented it a couple weeks later.

Would hating Lord of the Rings qualify?

Not really, half of the Tolkein fanbase has major probs with it.
― Oppositional Soup (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:17 (fourteen years ago) link
Plus why should 10 hour film about goblins hitting each other over the head with axes be mainstream?

My problem was that they were boring; though I did have a nice nap during at least one of them.

I was raised on LOTR and Tolkien, and even so, found the final sequences of the last movie are amongst the most toe-curlingly awful things I've ever witnessed in a cinema.

I thought Wizard of Oz was ass from the moment it switched to technicolor/Apollo 13 is for babies and I hated it/Star Wars is the worst thing to ever happen to modern movie making/Wall*E was a pussy/Monty Python's Holy Grail is revisionist limey claptrap

Now I get what's wrong with Velvet Goldmine, not enough axe-wielding goblins.
― Oppositional Soup (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:24 (fourteen years ago) link
The "Lord of Chaos" black metal movie will deliver Velvet Goblin with axe-wielding goblins.
― Soukesian, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Sorry Velvet Goldmine with axe-wielding goblins. Not a half-bad title, though.
― Soukesian, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:28 (fourteen years ago) link
With hobbit porn?

The Fifth Element's script was so clearly written by dude at age 15
its like an ideal version of what a 15 yr old would come up with
― ogmor, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Velvet Goldmine was cute actor eyecandy with a solid soundtrack
― I ♠ my display name (sarahel), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Velvet Goblin needs to be a band, probably. I keep forgetting Lords of Chaos is coming. Hope there's a 3D verzh.

Upon re-seeing it, I liked it better.

Velvet Goldmine promised cute actor eyecandy, which was then uglified even by glam standards (impressive) and put in a shameful, pointless series of gaudy tableaux on par with Bogus in the wtf department.
― existential eggs (Abbott), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Bogus is my most hated film fwiw.
the gaudy tableaux were kinda the point of the movie though.

― Great Scott! It's Molecular Man. (Ste), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:35 (fourteen years ago) link
It did have a good soundtrack I'll admit but it's fucking Roxy Music, can't really go wrong there even if it was Wing singing it.
― existential eggs (Abbott), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Didn't think Velvet Goldmine was a very good movie, but I'm kind of glad it exists -- same with I'm Not There. I like that Haynes is trying to make interesting, serious movies about rock stardom, but he hasn't quite nailed it yet. It's a tough topic to do well.
