What's your worst movie?

mapuc · 03-15-12, 04:10 PM

We have all talked about our favorite movies, but there must be some movies, where you have thought my god let me out of here or have I really spent money on this.

My worst movie was Batman. The only thing that made that movie somehow watchable was Jack as Joker.

Just like it is impossible to name one favourite movie, it is equally impossible to name one hated movie.

I will throw out "The day the earth froze" 1959 and a candidate stinker.

Let's put it this way:
for every decent movie there is a hundred and for every really excellent movie there seems to be a thousand "worst-ever"-movies.

For TV formats (series, shows, stage entertainment etc), the ratios are probably even worse.

I hear Manos is...well...thankfully I've avoided it.

The worst...that's pretty hard to decide...Robin Hood (with Mr Crowe) was pretty damn terrible but it had its moments...not many mind...

I'm sure I'll think of more...I've not watched U-571 so I can't cite that.

Manos - The Hands of Fate? That movie was so bad it was painful to watch.

EDIT: I feel violated for having remembered it... *shudder*

Anything with van Damme or Seagull in*, Sly films comes pretty close too.

But without a doubt in my mind Eraserhead is probably the weirdest and worst film I've ever had the misfortune to (try to) watch.

Also up there are most US remakes of European or Japanese films, just because some people don't like reading subtitles and most dubbing is crap.

*Unless it has Erika Eleniak jumping out of a cake, obviously.

You should differentiate between B-movies (and worse) that never had a chance of being good, and major movies made by professionals that have no excuse. Also, you have to decide whether to include a movie's camp value or riffability in your consideration, or not.

Ignoring all the MST3K grade movies, and ignoring camp value, the top 5 for me would have to be

Armageddon
Transformers 2 + 3
Star Wars Episodes 1 + 2.
