I think you guys are just cut n pasting Armond White's top ten list here.

Garden State

― JD from CDepot, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually, it probably is Volcano.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:29 (nineteen years ago) link

I think you're forgetting that Volcano had a volcano and therefore it had fire. There are several other films listed here that did not.

i'd say "kate and leopold" but i never saw it, and neither did you.

Conspiracy Theory and possibly irrationally, School of Rock

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:42 (nineteen years ago) link

"i'd say "kate and leopold" but i never saw it, and neither did you"

I saw it! It wasn't as bad as Pay It Forward.

Reality Bites.

― mike a, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:44 (nineteen years ago) link

i liked Signs. i thought it was a great piece of hokey X-filesishness, i thought the fake looking lizard men were GREAT!

i liked the atmosphere of the film...cornfields and things that jump!

Conspiracy Theory seconded...I HATE TAHT FUCKIN MOVIE BECAUSE IT COULD'VE BEEN GOOD IF THERE WERE NO STARS AND RICHARD DONNER ATTACHED.

Papparazi was pretty dire...though quite hilarious!

― latebloomer: HE WHOM DUELS THE DRAFGON IN ENDLESS DANCE (latebloomer), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:48 (nineteen years ago) link

oh shit, Reality Bites! How could I forget?

Defend the Indefensible: "Reality Bites"

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Come on, Cookie's Fortune was waaaaaaay worse than Reality Bites, and Cookie's Fortune was nowhere near as bad as Pay It Forward.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:52 (nineteen years ago) link

team america. i can't believe i got talked into seeing this atrocity.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Godzilla

― latebloomer: HE WHOM DUELS THE DRAFGON IN ENDLESS DANCE (latebloomer), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:54 (nineteen years ago) link

that Neil LaBute one with Rachel Weisz, what the fuck was that called? God, was that excruciatingly horrible. 10 times worse than Volcano!!! I'd watch Volcano any day of the week.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:54 (nineteen years ago) link

The Shape of Things! Neil Labute is a fucker, too.

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Bulletproof, the one with Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans as buddy cops.

― a banana (alanbanana), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 04:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Birth of A Nation. I think that Griffith's agenda was to make a film so overlong and horrible that audiences would find themselves rooting for the Kl4n so that the film would end sooner.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 04:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Singles. The Core. 21 grams. gone in 60 seconds.

― Star Cauliflower (Star Cauliflower), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 04:29 (nineteen years ago) link

21 Grams would definitely make a strong showing.

The Shape of Things was good! (Gretchen Mol+Rachel Weisz=yaaaaay)

Slacker (the one with Jason Schwartzman, not the pluralized Linklater film)
Jurassic Park 3

― mike h. (mike h.), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 04:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Spun (the one with Jason Schwartzmann that was so bad I nearly walked out the cinema for the first time in my life)

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 04:46 (nineteen years ago) link

"gone in 60 seconds."

OTFM

"Slacker (the one with Jason Schwartzman, not the pluralized Linklater film)"

OTFM

"Jurassic Park 3"

i liked it better than the second JP movie! it was simple and stupid rather than just plain stupid like The Lost World.

Bram Stoker's Dracula

― Bumfluff, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 06:25 (nineteen years ago) link

No, that had style. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, though -- that was shit of the bull.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 06:31 (nineteen years ago) link

ooh, Bram Stoker's Dracula is a good one.

John Carpenter's 'Vampires': GRRRRRRR!!!!! On the bright side, it instilled in me a life-long hatred of James Woods, so there's that.

'Saw': To date, the biggest damn waste of my time despite being led to believe otherwise. PE speaketh the truth: Don't Believe The Hype. Or as my husband says: sheeple are stupid.

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 06:49 (nineteen years ago) link

reclamation project: School of Rock is tops! and I kind of liked Cookie's Fortune

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 07:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Seconded: School Of Rock is great!

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 07:18 (nineteen years ago) link

School of Rock is among a few movies mentioned in this thread that I like quite a bit.

Grease WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!

― Bryan Moore (Bryan Moore), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 10:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't remember which one the worst Madonna film was, but that would be my vote.

Yeah, Batman & Robin was a date movie for my 16 year old self (nothing else on in my shitty town). Didn't see her again...

American Beauty

Oceans 11 (the remake)

Traffic

― Spicy Club Sauce, Wednesday, 16 February 2005 20:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Basic. A film with John Travolta AND Samuel L Jackson has no right to be this shit.

Battle Royale 2 kind of sucked as well.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 20:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Not even the worst of these movies is as bad as the ILX 1990s poll
these movies are all better than those you voted for in the ILE "best of" poll
I think there are more good films in this thread than the ILE Best of the '90s.

Dumb point taken!

― Pete Scholtes, Wednesday, 16 February 2005 22:51 (nineteen years ago) link

anything directed by Schumaker

--Tigerland?

or Zemeckis

--Back to the Future? Cast Away?

or Kevin Smith

--Clerks?

Any Oliver Stone film

--Salvador? Born on the Fourth of July? Talk Radio?

I only said it once, for the record, but I'm glad I'm not alone... except for romantically.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 17 February 2005 01:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Funny Farm -- This is a terrible, unfunny comedy starring Chevy Chase and worse yet directed by George Roy Hill, who made quite a few really good movies at one point. It is the worse movie I ever actually paid to see.

― Earl Nash (earlnash), Thursday, 17 February 2005 02:52 (nineteen years ago) link

All of those Fear/The Babysitter/Poison Ivy 2 movies from the early 90s are pretty atrocious.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 17 February 2005 21:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Total Eclipse (feat. Leonardo DiCaprio & David Thewlis)

Scanners,
or
Naked Lunch.

Cronenbourg is a genius? Only if genius means rubbish.

No-one mentioned "Sliver" yet? In that case, I will.

― Si Carter (Si Carter), Friday, 18 February 2005 00:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah, sorry i spelt his name wrong, but Cronenbourg or Cronenberg, he's still made the same dire films.

― dmun, Friday, 18 February 2005 14:50 (nineteen years ago) link

How the heck did I forget Star Wars Episode i? That might be worse than anything else on this thread.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 18 February 2005 16:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Does The Star Wars Holiday Special count as a movie? If so, it's a dead cert.

― Huey (Huey), Friday, 18 February 2005 16:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Battleship Potemkin yo, the storming of the Winter Palace had every cliche in the book.
-- Gordy Stevenson (sonofsteve...), February 15th, 2005.

HAHAHA. Brilliant!

Aw, c'mon - they weren't cliches in fucking 1924!

But that's my only comment regarding the dozen-or-so above films that I like. My choice for worst:

"Crash" (wurst movie I ever paid money to see!) may have turned me off Cronenberg (& R. Arquette for that matter) forever - and I liked everything previous. Never woulda believed that any film could be repellent, unbelievable and deadly dull all at once - a near-impossible combination! - so at least I'll give him credit for that.
2nd würst $ layout: "Howard The Duck", and in fact EVERYTHING w/George Lucas's name on it after, oh, 1981 is a contenda. And every movie in which Michael Douglas plays an executive. And the aforementioned "Con Air" - Has there ever been a worse film w/as many usually dependable actors? (No.)

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Friday, 18 February 2005 17:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Search party required for Myonga Von Bontee's sense of humour!
