All new ILE movies poll: THE WORST FILM OF ALL TIME, EVER, WITHOUT ANY QUALIFICATION. Nominations thread.

THe one with Griffin Dunne (sp?). I can't remember the title. "Who's That Girl"?

in the nineties : Reality Bites - a middle-aged studio executive's vision of "Generation X". Winona Ryder says things like "I'm just trying to be myself, but i don't who that is anymore" and ends up in the arms of Ethan Hawk's repugnant, snobby, 24 hour-a-day taste fascist. Yuck.

otherwise, i'd say 'Croupier'. that dumb voice-over still haunts me.

"The prospect of having to sit through another Oliver Stone movie was too much.”
-- Pauline Kael, upon retiring

'Closer'
'Barbarian Invasions'
'Salo'
'The Good Girl' (unless it improved radically; I switched off early)
'La Peau Douce'

also:
The Sixth Sense
The Others
Underworld (w. Denis Leary)

"Con Air"

Sub-Michael Bay spaz editing and direction!
Ridiculous script!
Nicolas Cage as a lethal weapon with a mullet!
numerous jokes about rape, and women and children constantly put in needless jeopardy!

Cage, Buscemi, Cusack, Malcovich! Ving Rames! Dave Chapelle! All shit. All the time. It ends with a plane crash landing into a casino, which is as excessive as excess gets.

seconded, although i always feel a bit uncomfortable when buscemi is left with that little girl. was that really necessary, michael bay?

"Con Air' Is such a piece of shit, not least for the "will Buscemi molest the little girl?" tea party scene. Oh, the humor! Oh, the drama! Oh, the humanity!

That's so OTM I can't even believe it. It can also be someone restoring a house or learning to be good at some kind of sport to that power pop song.

Mind you, I've never seen the Matrix 3. Or Austin Powers.

What, are you MAD? Fight Club may be pretty over-rated but WORST MOVIE EVAH?!?!? And as for the other two, I suspect you're just trying to be controversial. How anybody could even THINK about nominating The Others while Quentin Tarrantino still has a career is beyond me.

HUMAN TRAFFIC!!!

The most condescending, embarassing excuse for film I've ever seen!

Worst.. True Lies. The Scarlet Letter. (I haven't seen that one, but I am guessing it at least deserves to be voted on here.)

Something by Lars Von Trier?

Pas de repos pour les braves (No Rest for the Brave) was one of the few I've actually walked out of, but it's probably too obscure to be worth the trouble..

Fight Club 1910 (A Masterpiece Theatre/Merchant and Ivory Production)

True Lies
This one should be in the finals, too.

Something by Lars Von Trier?
Yeah, I mentioned 'Dogville' upthread.

Fight Club
The Sixth Sense
The Others
What, are you MAD? Fight Club may be pretty over-rated but WORST MOVIE EVAH?!?!? And as for the other two, I suspect you're just trying to be controversial.

No, I really, really dislike that trend in movies that these three films represent: In the late 90ies / early 00's every godamn movie had to have this stupid-ass ending that turned the whole thing around in a really pathetic and aren't we surprised??? manner. And after 'The Sixth Sense, anyway, everybody had guessed that this was one of those movies (if it was) after 5 mins. 'The Life Of David Gale' firts into that category, too. Luckily, this seems to be largely over by now.

Anyway, as far as worst movie evah goes:
From Hell
Gigli
Envy
Armageddon
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (I saw this in the theater with my younger brother and we both walked out--he was around 8 at the time)

I'm personally a fan of "laughably bad" movies (Showgirls, Resident Evil, Blade Trinity was a LAUGH RIOT), but the above mentioned were just torture.
