Worst Movies Ever

[Lady_Foxfire]

Someone mentioned "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" a few pages back; that movie is freaking hilarious. Yes it's bad, but it's awesomely, hysterically bad. I especially liked the bit with the polar bear/guy in a bear costume. I came across this movie after my friend bought a box set of old bad movies (of the sort that MST3K is fond of), and we decided to watch that one first because I saw the title and said "well that's an interesting concept".

I joined Shitty Movie Night with one of the guys from my office. It's been awesome. We are currently watching a series of horror movies based on animals. So far I've seen one about a tiger, were-hyenas, and spiders. We basically just sit there and laugh at the movies. It's been a lot of fun.

Stepford Wives (the remake with Matthew Broderick and Nicole Kidman). Gah ... I saw the original (and read the book) that was creepy. The remake ... too campy AND it completely changed the ending of the book! I really hated that.

Mame, 1972 musical remake of the comedy/drama "Auntie Mame" (which starred Rosalind Russell). Mame was Lucille Ball's "swan song". The Broadway version had Angela Lansbury performing the title role. She was offered the role in the movie version, but turned it down and Lucille Ball, who was a singer/dancer in her early years as an actress, jumped at the chance of starring in it. I liked it originally and then I saw "Auntie Mame" and I have disliked "Mame" ever since.

There was TV remake of the movie Carrie I think someone mentioned it a few pages back. It was horrible. Definitely wouldn't watch it again if it was on TV.

Boondock Saints 2. Loved the first movie. I love love love Sean Patrick Flannery, and Billy Connolly, and Norman Reedus. But this one? Not as entertaining. Might have to re-watch it.

Can't think of any more right now. Will post if I can come up with others.

I really liked Boondock Saints 2. There was a hint at the end that led me to think there may even be a 3rd one. I really hope it doesn't take 10 years like it took for the second one.

For now, Sean Patrick Flanery is on Young and the Restless, and I saw Norman Reedus on "The Walking Dead".

They tried too hard with Boondock Saints 2. The first one is one of my favorite movies but the second one was just meh to me.

For me there are two schools of bad movies. There are movies with bad production values and sometimes bad acting but they have merit because they are funny:
Ator: The Fighting Eagle
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
Battle Beyond the Stars

And then there are just plain bad movies:
Battlefield Earth. I actually rented this because I thought it oculdn't be as bad as everyone says. Gah.

Mission to Mars. When Tim Robbins waved at the middle of the movie, I should have taken that as a clue.

To me, what's annoying about a movie is the Idiot Plot - especially when the plot is so full of holes that it's clear nobody really bothered to think this through. Personally, I find that insulting to the audience.

Signs
God, I hate that movie. Aliens that are vulnerable to water, come to a planet practically covered in it? They have mastered interstellar travel, but not the art of breaking down a door? The use crop circles to navigate, and not the existing abdundance of mountains, lakes and rivers? They come to loot our planet, and their only weapon is some kind of gas dispenser? Seriously?

Flight Plan
Another case of plot that makes no sense. At all. An overly complex scheme (by a US Air Marshal, a flight attendant, and German mortuary assistant) that hinges entirely on nobody noticing a kid boarding the plane. If just ONE PASSENGER had noticed the damn kid, it'd all have been for nothing.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3
Yeah, the first movie was cool. Yeah, they had to milk the franchise. But those movies just sucked, big time. No. 2 was practically just the first half of No. 3, and No. 3 made no sense. They spend half the damn movie trying to assemble all the pirates into one fleet, bringing my hopes up for a huge sea battle at the end... and then they just sit around doing nothing at all. Completely useless!

Legion (2009)
Another movie that had no point. Just an endless row of shambling angel-zombies and two-dimensional pseudo-characters blasting them with guns. Boring.

I could agree with that. Signs just made no sense the whole way through. As you said, aliens advanced enough to travel from planet to planet but too retarded to make up weapons or any kind of real navigation systems? And going to a world that is 2/3 covered with water, they have no suits to protect themselves from it? Shit, I'd just sit in my front yard with the hose and take shifts.

Pirates 2 & 3...the storyline just plain blew. Nothing interesting happened in either movie.

When I first saw their 2001 helmets, I knew I was in trouble.

Re: Mission to Mars. I was stuck on a plane flying to Japan when I watched it. Batteries in the CD player died and my other batteries were in checked luggage. I'd been reading for a while, so I didn't feel like reading. So I decided to watch it. Let's see....you have the Right Stuff cliches and the 2001 cliches. And when Tim Robbins waved on the way out...wow....

You gave me inspiration for a horror film: "There is no escape from...Shitty Movies on a Plane!"

Aeon Flux (with Charleze Therone sp?)
The Fountain - can't even remember what that was about other than sitting through it going WTF
Night at the Roxbury-I used to like that song too
Monsters-ho hum, whatta letdown
The Mechanic-I felt like watching an action movie, but I always feel letdown after watching Strathum
Ella Enchanted-I read the book and if I hadn't paid money to suffer in a movie theater AND if someone else wasn't my ride... Rarely have I utterly loathed a film.

Has anyone ever walked out of the cinema due to a movie being so bad?
My dad and a few of his army mates were gripping onto the arm rests throughout one appauling movie (I have no idea which) as if it were a white knuckle ride, where as most of the division (or UK term) had walked out.

I see it as "I've paid to see this, I'm getting my money's worth."
I also rewatched "blow out" a Travolta movie as I missed the last half of it as my TV was known to have bouts of, well it just drew big blobs on screen, what I had seen didn't impress me, but I had invested 40 or so minutes of my life in the movie and wanted to see how it ended, so a year or so later it was on again and even though my brother knew I thought little of it, he was unsure as to why I would watch it again, too see the ending quite frankly.

I've never walked out on a shite movie, a VHS or DVD I can eject and set aside for later, but a Cinema release, never have and never will.
I have walked out of the room during some VHS/DVD's or something on TV, those cringeworthy see it a mile away scenes, those are great times to go to the toilet or put the kettle on.

I walked out during "Judge Dredd". It's the only time I've ever left a theatre halfway through a movie.

I remember the NC review of that movie. Pretty hard to route for a hero who works FOR a facist government.
