    For a bit of a laugh and with this thread in mind I looked up the worst movie rated on imdb expecting Gigli or Son of the mask but was surprised to see a cartoon from 2000 called "Titanic: the legend goes on".

    With a rating of just 1.3 I had to have it. Quick download and I couldn't believe my eyes at how ripped off, bad and so awful it is. It was glorious.

    Myself and couple of the lads had a drinking game that if someone could name a popular film that was being copied we had to have a drink. We were polluted in about 40 minutes.

    A must see with this thread in mind.

    The Room. Worst film I've ever seen, never laughed so hard (or shouted and thrown so many spoons at a screen :D)

    It's a tired and laboured cash-in on Sleepless in Seattle.
    Both the leads phone in their performances and it's a cliche ridden rom com,
    buy anytime it's on, I'll always sit through You've Got Mail.

    Honorable mention to Cocktail.

    I actually was going to add Gridiron Gang but I couldn't find a 3 sided coin :D

    Friday Night Lights springs to mind also but that is actually a good film.

    I recorded it the other day, but couldn't sit through the whole thing. The way Nora Ephron uses soundtrack music, as a blunt instrument to beat you in to submission, is a perpetual gripe of mine. One thing I did note about the ending: take a look at Tom Hanks' hands. Did he go to set straight from a gardening session, or from the set of Saving Private Ryan?

    Is Charlie's Angels a bad move? I can sit though that any time, because if it's crap, the cast know it's crap, and ham it up gloriously. The bloopers are great fun too:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Chain Reaction is a film I love, despite getting panned by a lot of people. Yes, the science in the film is bogus in extremis. Yes, Keanu Reeves is more dead pan than ever. But there are some excellent set-pieces and some brilliant chase scenes, and the action whips along quite quickly (though not quickly enough to adequately paper over some of the cracks in this film). That said, Brian Cox, Morgan Freeman and Fred Willard all provide some good acting moments and I still love the whole CIA-controls-the-world conspiracy at the heart of it.

    Got some poor reviews and even then hardly anyone knows it. People I talk to
    Yeah it can be put under chick flick but I thought it was very clever and extremely well done

    Winona Ryder, Catherine Keener, a very young Evan Rachel Wood, Pacino, Jay Mohr and Elias Koteas, I'd call that a strong cast.

    Washed up director is sick of diva stars throwing tantrums and moaning all the time so he finds a star and the world and the media fall in love with her
    But all the time he has to keep the deception going

    Loved this film though I can see it's not so popular

    My absolute guilty pleasure is "Dodgeball". So quotable. Everyone thinks "Anchorman" and other Will Ferrell stuff is better / less shameful to admit to liking, but I love "Dodgeball". It usually has all the stuff I loathe- predictable storyline, potty-humor, Ben Stiller- but, I don't know, it just makes me lol.

    Further down the list of shame is a rom-com- "Just Friends". Again all the elements of hatred are there- cheesiness, stupid jokes, plus the super-annoying Ryan Reynolds. Yet I succumb and enjoy every time I watch it.

    If we're talking genuinely sh1t films that are just fun to slag off, then Nicolas Cage in "The Wicker Man" can't be beat. Actually anything featuring Nic Cage. Honourable mention of course to "The Room", featured in every discussion of bad films on the internet- "YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, LISA!":pac:

    Fatal Deviation.

    Watched it for the first time last night, in all its 8 part, youtube glory.

    At times, it was almost too much to take.

    "Crap" obviously goes against the swaying of The Herd? :rolleyes:

    Anyhoo...if one does adhere to such an agenda then
    most films would be then crap as they're basically one's own
    personal opinion?

    I don't sway with the herd. I like what i like and i couldn't
    give a toss what others think. If you do sway then that's your problem...

    This reminds me of 2012...

    Watched with a few beers and just could not stop laughing at how mental it is!

    My favourite part:
    The bit where they are taking off as the ground is literally crumbling amid all the other carnage, and yet there is still someone in the control tower telling them over the radio they don't have clearance for take off!!!

    Well f*cking duh, that is the whole point of this thread, the whole point of boards in fact, to share your opinions! Seriously, what is your problem? This thread is supposed to be a bit of fun if you have such a big problem with it then stay away from it, problem solved!

    By that definition, YOU think it's good even though, critically, it may not be. So where do you draw the line with that?

    You could end up saying this about most films - ''load of rubbish, but I like it''. Makes no sense to me. :o

    not necessarily. it's possible to appreciate a film for entertainment while acknowledging that it's not very well made or makes sense. i.e. Transformers or Battle: Los Angelas. neither are any good, but i'd watch them over and over...

    Okay, my own personal favorite crap film... Hypersonic: Air Race Earth. youtube the trailer and see how film's are not meant to be made.

    That, and The Room

    That was my intepretation of the OP. Took it as a gulity pleasure type thing. I love that movie. read back through the thread and my selection seems a bit out of place now alright.

    Again, I love that movie...I think i may have managed to offended myslef.

    Anything with Jean Claude Van Damme in it, watch Bloodsport today and it got me thinking of Timecop, Double Impact, A.W.O.L ,Kickboxer all fantastically terrible I watched them films hundreds of times growing up. Think ill have to pick up a few of them on Dvd.


    Also one I do own Tango & Cash, was in love with Teri Hatcher in it and the crazy jeep they drive at the end, so bad its amazing

    I'm dragging up this thread purely because I just remembered:

    Maximum Overdrive


    4.9 on IMDB is a disgrace! Music is great, it's almost made to be "so bad it's funny", but not enough to be too obvious. AC/DC are the perfect band to do the soundtrack for this film.

    If you've never seen it, the story is that the earth passes through the tail of a comet so all machines come alive and try and kill people.

    It's on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgkvaKe1Wes
