What Are the Worst Movies You Have Seen?

[chem123]

Forrest Gump successfully served its purpose

Is this to say you enjoyed it? No problem if you do, I am just curious. Its just that I too would say it served its purpose which is why I find it to be one of the more destestful movies in recent history. By purpose I mean it was able to spin ever so subtly and ever so effectively so many things which I have a hard time agreeing with.
Plus, if you go by what the academy awards have to say (which is always a slippery slope), Forrest Gump is apparently better than Pulp Fiction.

After reading this post, maybe this would better go under the title 'most harmful movies' because I can certainly see how Forrest Gump can be easily enjoyed if watched for only the sake of enjoyment.

Bunny Lake is Missing

I fell asleep. I went back to see it again ... because well I hadn't actually seen it the first time, and proceeded to fall asleep again.

So actually I've never seen the whole movie, but I can't imagine that it would be good.

Man I've never heard of this Uwe Boll guy but how hte hell does one go about making so many horrendously reviewed movies and... not only refrain from shooting himself, but actually continue to make movies!

actually i didnt enjoy it, but it was an arrogant, sarcastic movie about the world going crazy around a man who didnt understand what was going on just as it was supposed to be, so based on success in terms of directing and critical review it isn't necessarily a "worst movie". but that is only if your basing the decision on the the terms i set and is definitely a "worst" movie based on yours. This is clearly an opinion oriented thread and i definitely don't like Forest Gump or the political viewpoint in which the setting was produced.

 

[chem123]

so based on success in terms of directing and critical review it isn't necessarily a "worst movie"

Yes. Absolutely correct. I just see 'worst movie' and sometimes my most 'hated' somehow has to qualify. In reality they shouldn't qualify as such. I hate Forrest Gump but it can easily be seen as something outside of what one might call 'the worst' especially based on what criteria you've given.

That said, I have to agree with the comments on 'the core' back there. Wow, that was one horrendous piece of film making.

 

[mbisCool]

Cloverfield is pretty terrible. Although there is an endless list of movies with terrible writing, acting, directing, etc.

 

[Saladsamurai]

Recently: Knowing and Indiana Jones 4 were the worst 2 movies I have ever seen.

 

[Huckleberry]

I'll probably get slammed for this, but I thought 'Crash' was a terrible movie.

I'm sorry, but that should be in the "Things I've done and am too embarrassed to admit it" thread.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Most sci-fi made for TV is terrible. A few that I've watched are:
Atomic Twister
10.5: Apocalypse
Tidal Wave: No Escape

All dreadful!

Indiana Jones 4

Damn I had nearly erased the memory of that...

 

[colonelcrayon]

The Day After Tomorrow was appalling too. Wolves, I ask you?

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Last night I watched a movie called The List. Its a rather bad secret society movie revolving around the decendents of Confederates that stole money from the treasury and hid it away just before the fall of the south. Part of the plot is the list(!) of the members which apparently possesses some magical properties embued it by their blood! This little bit here is never even really explored much other than it apparently gives the members who possesses the list(!) the ability to kill the other members at a whim.

 

[Saladsamurai]

Damn I had nearly erased the memory of that...

Yeah... so had I until I went to see Knowing. Striking similarity between the absurdity of both the endings.

Indiana Jones 4

I was rather unimpressed aswell. The part where he rode out a nuke blast in a refrigerator was just jaw gapingly rediculous and it went down hill from there.

My friend saw it before I did and he was upset that I couldn't keep myself from laughing as he tried to explain it to me.

I know. And that was near the beginning wasn't it?! Aliens! Really?! F'''ing aliens?

That's such a cheap way to explain everything.

The Twisted Brain (also released as Horror High)

From http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072331/

A nerdy high school super whiz experiments with a chemical which will transform his guinea pig "Mr. Mumps" from a gentle pet into a ravenous monster. In a fit of rage against his tormentors at the high school, Vernon Potts (Pat Cardi) goes on a killing spree, eliminating all of those who ever picked on him - the Gym Coach, the School Jock, The Creepy Janitor (Mr. Griggs) & his hated teacher, Ms. Grindstaff. In the end he gets the jock's girlfriend for himself but his happiness is short-lived as the potion turns him into a monster hunted by the towns lame police Lieutenant - Bosman.​

From http://www.answers.com/topic/twisted-brain

This vintage late-night TV favorite also traveled under the goofier, more appropriate title Horror High and features a wiry fuzz guitar score and William Girdler regular Austin Stoker as the detective who senses evil beneath Vernon Potts' Poindexter exterior. Leading man Pat Cardi isn't credited with any further films after Twisted Brain, but his performance caps off a career as a child actor that includes appearances in William Castle's Let's Kill Uncle, Battle for the Planet of the Apes, and the 1965 educational film We Learn About the Telephone.​

"Plan 9 From Outer Space" without a doubt:

Nothing else even comes close.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Dare I bring up "Pink Flamingos"?

 

[Huckleberry]

I know. And that was near the beginning wasn't it?! Aliens! Really?! F'''ing aliens?

That was pretty much my reaction also. Even Temple of Doom was so much better than this Crystal Skull business.

I was also very displeased with the remake of 'War of the Worlds'. Five minutes into the movie they start running for their lives and don't stop until the end. What's the point? Total special effects sell out, much like the latest Transformers movie.

Though I don't consider it a bad movie, 'On the Beach' was probably the most dismally depressing work I have ever seen.

 

[Borek]

Alien 4 anyone?

 

[Huckleberry]

Alien 4 anyone?

I thought that one was ok. Alien 3, however, was a bomb.

German tax write-offs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwe_boll#Financing

I don't understand him. He's got a Ph.D. in literature (so he should be able to tell a good story, or at least recognize one) yet produces movies based off of video games. He apparently loves what he does (movie making), and yet produces, well, what he ends up producing.

Maybe he's actually a misunderstood genius ahead of his time?

That's pretty much staying true to the book. Both the movie and the book are classics, but, yes, they are very depressing - but so is the aftermath of nuclear war.

On the "depressing" scale, neither come close to Polish or Russian stories of World War II. In fact, "Johnny Got His Gun", a story about a guy that lost all of his arms and legs and his face in the war, can't come close to Polish or Russian stories about World War II.

[Tibarn]

Highlander 2, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and Superman IV are pretty bad. Caligula is a bit...excessive.

I haven't seen it, but Battlefield Earth has a reputation as being simply horrendous.

 

[AUMathTutor]

Vertical Limit... I think was the title.

A.I. with Haley Joel Osmond, was it?

2001: A Space Odyssey (I think Robot Chicken said it best... stuff floating through space set to classical music?)

Night at the Museum (1st and I suspect 2nd but haven't seen it)

Any movie like Crank, or more specifically, any movie with that f*(@ing actor in it.

 

[AUMathTutor]

Battlefield Earth is so bad it's good. And it was written by L. Ron Hubbard.

These are some of my favorite movies. The actor in 'Crank' is Jason Statham, and I like almost all of his action movies, especially 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'. For a nonstop action shoot-em up movie 'Crank' is pretty hard to beat.

Battlefield Earth is so bad it's good. And it was written by L. Ron Hubbard.

The author's reputation could be responsible for the public opinion of this movie. It's not great by any means, but I didn't see it as strikingly bad either.

 

[jostpuur]

Space Odyssey is among the best movies every made!

Battlefield Earth is so bad it's good. And it was written by L. Ron Hubbard.

I've heard some people saying "it's so bad that it's actually funny" out of some things. So I came up with a description "not even funny" to describe Uwe Boll's movies.
