    I was wondering what people considered to be the worst film EVER I gotta say that the 3 hours 1 minute and 12 seconds (of hell) long film THE POSTMAN starring none other than Kevin "can't act" Costner is a shoe in what do all of ye out there think

    Raising Cain gets my vote. That was just plain bad.

    Man Bites Dog a close runner up, and if taken from a moral point of view, definitely the most repellent 90mins ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Man Bites Dog... *brrrr..*

    that movie made me physically sick... mainly because of personal circumstances and the thoughts it put in my head at the time. Nasty movie.

    Urban Legend made me physically ill. I never thought it could be possible for film to actually make a person feel sick but that film made my stomach churn. Also Dancing at Lughnasa, Species II, Batman and Robin, almost any straight to video film ever (excluding ones with Denis Leary in them) and any Pauly Shore film.

    So the pope puts down the Badger and leans over to me and says , 'At TFC my son , I 0wnz j00'. Before I could speak in walks Dustin Hoffman in a giant Silk Worm costume and just then...it started to get weird...

    If only it could be true, my friend. The Postman did suck the big one, its true. Mission To Mars was appaling too. I could go on but id probably be thrown off the baords for incredibly foul and course sailor talk!!

    Say hello to my little friend !!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    And the winner for worst film of the year goes to... *opens an envelope*... The Green Mile !!!

    What a depressing lot of über-arsë-banitry that was.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,219 ✭✭✭plastic membrane


    sick of saying it, Batman And Robin. Worst f ucking film, EVER..

    Say hello to my little friend !!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 492 ✭✭Pretence


    ROCKY 3!!!!!!!!!


    It might have been rolleyes.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,109 ✭✭✭sutty


    what about eye's wide shut....3hrs of hellllllllll

    and not to forget the batman's from 2 on words.

    6th sence was a load of crap
    (just about every movie made in the last two years) smile.gif


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Excelsior


    some greaat movies have been made recently sutty. that isn't fair. postman was bad, but at least it was laughable. batman and robin was flatulent- so so bad. but clearly the worst movie i have seen is, Battlefield Earth. I went to see it intending to laugh- but it was so bad, so horribly awful, so clearly misguided that i couldn't laugh. you all know that the plot and script were some of the worst in recorded film making. but the noise levels were set too high. the special effects were laughable. the designers took their cues from everywhere- giving the impression of the crappiest version of Crap Earth, circa Sometime In The Not To Distant Future. The whole movie was irredeemable. No longer will it be, John "Saturday Night Fever, FaceOff, Pulp Fiction" Travolta. Rather it will be John " Worst Movie Ever" Travolta. Disgusting waste of money.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Asuka


    Battlefield Earth was just so bad it was funny smile.gif


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 236 ✭✭Bloody Drunkard


    Looks like batman and robin wins with the postman battlefield earth and just about everything made in the last two years

    SO WHAT IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER I SAY SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 492 ✭✭Pretence


    COOL HAND LUKE....

    Excellant



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 305 ✭✭Borric


    The postman is a classic

    ive never enjoyed a film so much it just goes on and on and on

    I still cant believe they actually tried to make a film outta that book. Terry Gilliam is the man, but even he couldnt have done it. I think there has been a lot of good films out there in recent years. Fair Enough, loads of poo, as freaK_brutheR so eloquently put it, but lots of the good stuff as well. Face it, just because there's sp much S hite out there, are you gonna stop going to see films! Nah. of yeah, best film : Aliens.

    Say hello to my little friend !!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 353 ✭✭Yossarian


    very difficult to choose a best film,
    how about a top 5??

    here's mine:

    Apocalypse Now,
    Seven Samurai,
    Blues Brothers,
    Fight Club,
    Cross of Iron.

    Stephen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 936 ✭✭✭FreaK_BrutheR


    Acctually for anti-climactic reasons the worst i've seen of late is Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas. One of the bestest books then look at that lump of poo.
    There are too many ****e films out there really to say whats the worst i think but that was a major dissapointment


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,219 ✭✭✭plastic membrane


    mletI'll be damned. Someone who appreciates Cross Of Iron. Go on Yassarian ! Fair play to the lad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Excelsior


    i like the nickname yossarian. nice touch.

    It is so lonely here in my indecipherable tower of speech impedimency


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 236 ✭✭Bloody Drunkard


    Cross of Iron is winnin i say SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

    BlOoDy DrUnKaRd


  • Subscribers Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭PhilipMarlowe


    hmmm....worst one i tried to watch (and failed) was single white female......couldn't stomach it.
    Amazingly i never saw the latest batman movie (loved the original tim burton one, liked the 2nd a good bit and the 3rd a bit less...stayed away from the batman and robin cause of the bad reviews...)

    Best movies....

    Shawshank..
    Vertigo
    Rear Window
    To catch a Theif
    Southpark - bigger, longer and uncut

    but the winner has to be...
    The Big Sleep....

    Humphrey with a gun......
    Such dialogue and chemistry......
    ummm the plot?????

    I love the old B+W classics....

    Bacall....mmmmmmmmmmmm (named my daughter after her... smile.gif )

    btw, what did ye think of tim burtons "Sleepy Hollow" ?

    I loved it but my wife hated it...

    Seven
    Saving Private Ryan
    And the matrix I suppose.

    I seem to have an uncanny knack of steering clear of bad films as I havent seen any of the above smile.gif Apart from titanic, and I'd rather not have to remember that.


    I am inflatible !

    Interesting to see peoples choices.

    My picks for WORST films would be:

    * Eyes Wide Shut
    * Demolition Man (Sly & Snipes - gawhelpus!)
    * Mimic (At least it was kinda funny...)
    * American History X (A prime example of a good story ruined by over-direction)

    My BEST picks would be:

    * Full MetalJacket
    * Hell Raiser (The 1st one!!)
    * Final Destination (In a trashy way)
    * Fight Club

    And finally....
    my favourite of all time (so far):

    * Jacobs Ladder - any other fans of this film out there?

    Cheers,
    Gerryboy

    Ah yes - gone are the days where myself and plastic membrane used to frequent the public houses of Castlebar and we issued out our renditions of the Holy Grail.
    Who could forget...

    Plastic membrane, Are there any support groups for thos of us who have seen 'Jacobs Ladder' years ago, and still argue in pubs over what it all meant?
    Or if you'd like to start a fight, just explain how it was better than Sixth Sense!!
    (Have your VHI paid up first though!!!!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,162 ✭✭✭_CreeD_


    2 worst in memory at least:
    Mission to Mars -
    (The most offensively bad movie I have ever seen, never has a high budget movie sucked so much on so many levels).
    Biodome - Bad, even for a Paulie Shore movie.

    Best 5:
    The Big Chill
    Cube
    Fight Club
    Blade.
    The Big Blue.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,219 ✭✭✭plastic membrane


    Yes indeed, JESUS CHRIST!!!!

    gerryboy, the problem is that everytime i try to start a conversation about Jacobs Ladder, the person i happen to be speaking to suddenly gets a confused look in his/her eyes and stares stupidly at me saying : eh ? Never seen it!!... Philistines. It could mean any number of things that film. Which is why i like it so much,it has such an ambiguous and enigmatic air about it. I like that, very rare.

    PS- Missin To Mars, Bio-Dome.. b ollocks more like..

    Im going to the bear fights tomorrow, want to come with ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,471 ✭✭✭elexes


    LADS i cant believe you forgot about
    **************
    groundhog day
    **************

    like come on that film was the worst thing to ever come out .
    also anyone know where i can get search for the holy grail ???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭Carnage


    Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas wasn't bad atall, you guys just weren't on enough drugs when you were watching it.

    i thought that Fight Club RULED.

    i thought that The Navigator SUCKED.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Excelsior


    can anyone remember:
    bed of roses
    shadow
    my girl (&2)
    north

    i hope you can't


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭Figment


    What are you talking about. Groundhog day ruled! Though i guess it depends on if you are a fan of Bill Murry. I loved it.
    Shadow was good fun. 'The shadow knows! Muhaahaaahaaa...'
    North, with elija wood and Bruce willis and Bruce willis and bruce willis....
    It wasnt too bad.

    Plunket and Mclaine worst movie ever. I can enjoy a bad movie but that didnt even rate.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,601 ✭✭✭Kali


    whats that other film .. not "Big" with Tom Hanks but the other one the exact ****in same.. damn that sucked.
    apart from that Girl Six is pretty damn bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 622 ✭✭✭darthmise


    American History x is a great film!
    And Blade Runner is a prime example of Over direction, ( a cult film for all the wrong reasons)
    Surprising no one mentioned Good Will Hunting though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 439 ✭✭tobi


    methinks Taxi Driver should
    get a mention and recently Armegeddon.
    Blade Runner is a visual masterpiece, it's storyline just gets lost.

    I warned you! But did you listen to me? Oh no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, its just a harmless little bunny, isn't it?
