Worst films you've seen...

[rackrackrack]

"Pearl Harbour" is one of the worst things i've ever seen.

 

[elegant20]

This film is beyond awfulness...

Starring Hulk Hogan(of all people) Santa With Muscles. It's a film with how many bad actors can you pick out of the whole cast and that's not including Hogan himself. Definite MSTK fodder if you are drunk or on a drinking binge.

And another awful movie from the 80s with Raul Julia(he should have burned the copies of this himself): Drum roll, please!

Overdrawn at The Memory Bank

Hmm. Odd choices by alot of people. I thought we'd have more Waterworld kinda nominations.

The Twilight franchise (books, movies whatever) for existing. God I hate it. Oh, and the new trailer is racist.

Check out that gnarly racial stereotype and consider it's marketed to 12-17 (or middle aged) girls.

Think I'll give it a miss, the first one look like utter girly drivel too.

Caligula.

Fellini's SATYRICON was better.

"Pearl Harbour" is one of the worst things i've ever seen.

Michael Bay was sucking Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson cock ever since. I felt like I was watching a 50's TOP GUN.

 

[Principessa]

St. Elmo's Fire A movie about self-centered, pretentious, elitist, rich kids. I guess they weren't called the 'brat pack' for nuthin'.

OMG! I loved that movie I've seen it about 8 times. I totally related to Demi Moore's character at the time.

[jason_els]

Oddly, that's a little arousing... I think that's what's called 'vore' nowadays. A lot of Furs like stories involving vore.

Five minutes with this film will convince you there's nothing erotic about it. I guarantee it.

Vatos (2002)

I honestly don't think there's a worse movie out there.

I made it through tree minutes of that clip: it was D R E A D F U L !

Yo homes, I actually watched the entire thing, homes. It's so bad, it's comical, homes.

 

[whatireallywant]

I hated Terms of Endearment. My mom-mom had just died of cancer and I couldn't understand why she should get an Oscar for something I lived through. Also, I hate tacky maternity clothes.

The Lost Boys

Near Dark - It was so awful, I made my then bf leave.

The Hills Have Eyes

Yeah, I hated Terms of Endearment too. But then, I hate pretty much all movies where a major character gets a terminal illness and dies. So yes, that also means I hate Steel Magnolias, Brian's Song, Love Story, and the end of Forrest Gump (although the beginning and middle of Forrest Gump was actually good - I just hated the ending). Steel Magnolias is particularly bad for me because of the women's incessant talk about babies and pregnancy. Ugh.

But I liked The Lost Boys. I haven't seen Near Dark or The Hills Have Eyes.

You people are insane! If this is the best you can come up with then you have no idea what a bad movie is.

I have no choice but to inflict you with.............

The Terror of Tiny Town! (1938)

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the first all-little people western. This wouldn't be so bad if there was a plot of any kind or if little people weren't played for laughs.

This clip doesn't begin to describe the awfulness of.......

Pod People! (1983)

This ghastly attempt to ride the coattails of ET was made in Spain and there it should have stayed. Delightful little Trumpy has a nasty habit of going about killing people and eating cats.

The real reason the Soviets almost nuked us was that they found out The Creeping Terror! (1964) was in production.

There's something particularly horrifying about a wall-to-wall carpet which comes to life. Yes, a wall-to-wall carpet.... from outer space. As you can see, it really enjoys eating people with its vagina and it helps if the victims don't run away and actually assist the monster in eating them. In this scene we see The Creeping Terror! devour a high school prom filled with what appear to be GED students dancing to we're-experiencing-technical-difficulties-please-stand-by music.

There's no dialogue in this film. It's allllllll voice over!

If Monster A Go-Go (1965) doesn't kill you, then you'll have to live with the memory of it. Trust me, death is preferable.

Monster A Go-Go is, without MST3k, unwatchable. The plot consists of an alleged monster who goes about killing people. The monster is supposed to be an astronaut returned to earth horrifyingly mutated by a gamma ray burst. I hate to spoil it for you but in the end the narrator informs everyone that there was no monster and that we should all look out for the mysterious monster which murders with fear. Oh help help. I'm terrified. The immense problem with Monster A Go-Go is that there is no character development, no catharsis, no irony, no story, and endless, endless, ENDLESS quantities of nothing but expository dialogue which sadly, isn't terribly expository and, as with the above Creeping Terror, a narrator fills in when the budget doesn't permit anything other than stock footage. This is, without question, the dullest feature film ever created.


and then there's Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)

Manos: The Hands of Fate is widely considered the worst movie ever made for a number of reasons not the least of which is the dialogue. If you can call it that. And the acting, which makes anything Ed Wood has done look like Casablanca. Nothing really can prepare you for how bad this movie is, except perhaps the trailer.

The production of Manos: The Hands of Fate is a story unto itself. It was produced, written, starred, and directed by a Texas fertilizer salesman named Hal Wallace who thought that producing, writing, acting in, and directing a film would be easy. He's the pushy dad character, FYI. The debut in El Paso was the model for the debut of Plan 9 From Outer Space used in Tim Burton's Ed Wood. The film's reception was so bad that the character who played Torgo committed suicide.

Now that's a bad movie.

Haha... The Terror of Tiny Town! That one is so bad it's good though - kinda like how Plan 9 From Outer Space and Robot Monster are so bad they're good. :biggrin1: I'll have to keep this list because ALL the movies mentioned here seem to be of the "so bad it's good" variety!

Some movies are so terrible that they're fabulous. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is probably the best terrible movie I've ever seen. It's camp value is off the charts in a way that makes John Waters' films look so obvious.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is another in the "so bad it's good" category. And what's REALLY funny about it is that the script was written by Roger Ebert (yes, THAT Roger Ebert, the movie critic! :biggrin1: Think about that next time you see "Ebert and Roeper At the Movies" :biggrin1::biggrin1

And actually, I think the worst (not in a "So bad it's good" way but just a BAD way) movie I've seen that I can think of is "Carnal Knowledge". I like Art Garfunkel (but more as a singer than an actor) and Ann-Margret, and I'm sure that this movie was supposed to be seen as an examination of sexism and all, but it came across to me as being sexist rather than speaking out against sexism.

It's been a very long time since I've seen Carnal Knowledge, but the cast was really really great: Jack Nicholson, Rita Moreno, Ann-Margaret, Carol Kane, etc. I remember its reputation as such a dirty movie was completely unjustified, though it was very adult.

Misogyny was as much a factor when it was made (in the 70s) as the era it features (ten years previously). Much like the mixed messages of Boys in the Band, I'm not sure that era was capable of producing films of great honesty about those subjects yet.

there's this early 90s flick called "troll 2" but it's actually about golbins. it's sooo awesomely bad. anyone who's ever seen it knows that i'm talking about. the cinematography sucks, the acting is horrible, and the special effects blow... but somehow you can't stop watching and quoting the cheesy lines. "think of the cholesterol!"

 

[elegant20]

Anybody remembers this one......ah, Joan should have hung her head in shame since she provided her own wardrobe this time, but then again, she was reduced to B-movies because studios did not demand so highly of her. Joan could have called it quits and left on a happier note, but she tried every possibility to get on top and people just laughed at her attempts.
Trog 1970

"They're eating her... and then they're going to eat me... OH MY GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWD!"

I used to run a bad film club at university, so have seen a lot of these. 'Titanic: The Animated Musical' featuring a rapping dog was one of the more popular ones.

 

[D_Tintagel_Demondong]

I was stuck in a threatre with some friends watching The Ruins. It was absolute torture. I literally squirmed in agony from boredom and frustration. I'm always so nervous when we arrive at the theatre and haven't yet chosen a film to see. From now on, I need to know what we'll see beforehand.

The Beach.

Possibly the highest Promised / Delivered ratio in the history of mankind.

I never saw it, but as far as Promised/Delivered goes, I'd have to say that the Harry Potter movies were very disappointing. I only finished watching the first one... barely.

St. Elmo's Fire

A movie about self-centered, pretentious, elitist, rich kids.

I guess they weren't called the 'brat pack' for nuthin'.

Ever watch Entourage on HBO? I can't stand those shows. I blame Miami Vice on these shows that glamorize greed, drugs and vulgar displays of wealth. I'd just as soon watch Cribs on MTV.

Caligula.

Yes, you can make a movie for $1,000!

And a 16 mm Camera.

Reminds me of Leprechaun. They actually made a sequel!

In the "so bad it's good" category, I'd have to nominate all of the Puppet Master movies. There were at least 4 sequels.

 

[TragicWhiteKnight]

They made at least five sequels. How can you not love 'Leprechaun In Da Hood'?
