I'd have to vote for 'milennium mambo', something korean or something calling itself, I don't know, alternative. It has been one of the biggest tortures sitting through that movie, and I only did because my companionne was sleeping and I didn't want to wake her up in the middle of the movie. She has only distinct memories of the puking in that movie. It appears that every time she opened her eyes, however shortly, somebody was puking in there.
(i do have a vague recollection of being quite young, a child probably, and thinking 'body double' or so being the worst and most stupid and so on movie ever made).
Now, on the other hand, claiming titanic is the worst movie ever, that has more to do with everything surrounding the movie (oscars, biggest grossing movie ever - still? -) than with the movie. I do think it's watchable, and then even if it wouldn't be, it's plain in-crowd schmuck alternativo attitude to say such a thing. A well, who gives a flying fugerino anyway.
I didn't like A.I. much, and Kubrick was a misogynistic moron, and Spielberg is overrated, but the movie deserves credit for the outstanding art design and cinematography. Those colors! Fantastic.
<strong>I try to avoid seeing them these days: hence I didn't go to see xXx at the weekend.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Awww, come on! It's about expectations, isn't it? If you go into xXx expecting Citizen Kane, you're going to be grossly disappointed. If you go in expecting Vin Diesel looking buff in any number of sleeveless tops whilst riding around in big cars shooting people and blowing things up, you'll get everything you expected and more!
The dialogue is poor, the acting shaky, the plot ridiculous, but godammit it's FUN!
And I like this new trend of having interesting female leads, like Asia Argento, or Franka Potente in The Bourne Identity. Even if they are still merely masturbatory material.
two CATEGORIES of movies (all fitting into them) :
#1 all those films of the 1980s where there was a white, 10 years old male mid / hi class from the USA saved the world from aliens, bombs etc etc with something that made a commodore 64 look like a supercomputer. i was probably on the targeted age group but i hated those films
#2 films where there is a middle aged or oldeer couple - again white, mid or higher class married couple - and they have a crisis. generally i see the purpose of these films to make the 40+ female actor still work, and to produce crap for the 40+ white family oriented bla bla customers. a weekend in new york or something like that was in this category, horrible. also many "parodies" fit here, and all those kids home alone - movies as well.
#3 the "sunday afternooon telly films" where you have first switch off your brain.
All through the movie, the hero and heroine are escaping death, whilst people all around die from bird attacks. Then at the end they are cornered...and the birds let them drive safely away in a convertable. One of the biggest letdowns in my life, considering I watched that movie over the course of like a week of English I.
It's got the same word in the title twice!!! Once in greek, once in English.
And no, not the episode of MST3K. I mean the actual movie. :eek: </strong><hr></blockquote>
Manos!!! Sweet.
Yeeeees Master.
I disagree again. Manos: The hands of Fate was awful, but it was watchable. An example of a movie that is so boring it is unwatchable, now that I think of it, is "Ghost."
Many of the most boring episodes of MST3K were truly horrible, unwatchable movies. thew fun ones are watchable on their own, if for the unintended comic value. The worst in my recollection from that era was The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Man Chu.
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - This was the one with Sybok, the brain-fried Vulcan who thinks he can take a star ship to "Shakaree," the heaven-place at the center of the galaxy. Poorly written, poorly directed (by Shatner), and just poor...everything.
Haunted Honeymoon - I found this one by accident, unfortunately, when my friend and I said "Hey, it's got Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner in it. It's GOT to be funny." It was NOT. This movie's plot was looser and more non-existent than most soap operas or romantic novels. By the way, my friend fell asleep during it, and I stayed awake to see if it could possibly get any better...just maybe. It didn't.
The English Patient - Were it not for the seven of us in the room all thinking this movie sucked, I would have had to question myself. I mean, after all, this movie DID win the Oscar for Best Picture. That's got to count for something, right? Well, all I got out of this movie was a way-too-long waste of time with a dying guy telling some really boring story -- the only redeeming part of which was when the other guy got his thumbs cut off. Did you catch that? The best part of this movie, for me, was when someone lost his thumbs. That's got to say something about what I thought of the rest of it. That was a couple years ago. Maybe I should watch it again, to see if there's possibly ANYTHING I could like in it now. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
can't remember the title but it just came out in video, Mathew Mconnomy(sp?) plays a guy possessed by God to kill demons
awful awfull . . . I snuck in to watch it . . and stayed for a while . . . i thought that it had some good acting . . .
but when it turned out to be about a guy who is really possessed by God in order to kill demons . . unstead of what I thought it would be: a story about fanaticism leading to murder . . I was very very dissapointed
that kind of film makes it seem good to be hearing God tell you to kill.

i can never watch that actor again. Owen Wilson is the star. he's in "I Spy" now

Nice special effects, but horrible ass acting.
Battlefield: Earth is worse but that has already been taken.

Oh c'mon, sure the movie might have been bad but the moment the credits /finally/ started rolling had to be one of the happiest moments in my life!
never seen Species 1, but I was seriously about to walk out on this movie. God what an aweful POS movie
can't remember the title but it just came out in video, Mathew Mconnomy(sp?) plays a guy possessed by God to kill demons
awful awfull . . . I snuck in to watch it . . and stayed for a while . . . i thought that it had some good acting . . .
