10 WORST films of all time

evil-monkey

What ye all think??

The absolute 10 WORST films of all time...and why??

So far I'm thinking Star Wars Holiday Special, Mean Girls, Monster in the Closet and the Fast and the Furious have to be on the list...

complicit

'Howard the duck'

aidan_walsh

"The Many Closed List Threads"

monkeyfudge

I've always enjoyed Howard the Duck... and I was a huge fan of the comics... so I should really hate it.

Catwoman should feature strongly in any worst film list though. It's pretty much awful on every conceivable level.

Rabies

Freddy Got Fingered

Thumpette

'Room 1308', and I hated 'Sunshine' as well though im reliably told its a masterpiece! :P

chin_grin

The Dark Knight. Awaits backlash........

EDIT: Children of Men - woefully bad movie.

fatgav

The Number 23 is one of the biggest pieces of tripe I've ever sat through

Pigman II

10. Death Blow
9. Prognosis Negative
8. Cry, Cry Again
7. Sack Lunch
6. Blimp: The Hindenburg Story
5. Rochelle, Rochelle
4. Mountain High
3. The Cadillac, Part 1

Not quite a masterpiece, but a very good film!

What? Children Of Men is BRILLIANT!!!! Sci-Fi masterpiece in my view, some of the best directing/editing i've ever seen!

The 13th Warrior - is really really pants
House Of The Dead - is a terrible film
Alone In The Dark - is a shockingly bad piece of cinema
Meet The Spartans - words fail me!

I'm sure there are many more, I try to blank crappy films from my memory!

zAbbo

I liked Horward the Duck as well.

I've always thought that evaluating a movie should be based on the expectations beforehand, as well as the expectations held during a movie where many modern films have this 1st half good / 2nd half bad direction. (Hancock!)

Whenever I think of worst films, for some reason the remake of Psycho with Vince Vaughan always enters my head, as well as Swept Away by Guy Ritchie.

Films like 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain are like the glue sniffing kids in Keyna, they never really had a chance.

Pompey Magnus

The original "Assault on Precinct 13" was absolutely abysmal, I've not seen the remake but it can't be any worse. I watched the whole film solely because it was so bad, it was laughable.

What's that?

AnonoBoy

See there's a difference between what's absolutely terribly bad and then something that somebody just hates.

While you may hate Children of Men nobody can say it's one of the worst films ever made and honestly believe that. The level of technical skill involved in making that is outstanding.

If you want to see really really awful awful terrible films try the likes of:

Troll 2 and Manos the Hands of Fate.

Appalling stuff.

The Onion AV Club ran an article about them recently. Well worth reading. (too lazy to find the link!)

Juno is definitely the worst film ever!

Dudess

In your opinion it is, but that doesn't make it the definitive worst film ever - there are many who'd consider it the best film ever.

This is just gonna be a bunch of obvious films which we all know are sh1t (e.g. Swept Away) and people posting the film titles they hate, which are generally considered good (but there's nothing wrong with people hating them) and then others will take exception to these valid opinions and then there'll be a huge argument and it'll get really personal and Karl Hungus will close the thread with a stern yet well worded, possibly witty, warning...

Damn your crystal ball and its (surprisingly accurate) predictions!

homerun_homer

I've seen many a bad film in my time but what always springs to mind is Domino. I fancy the arse off of Keira so me and the lads went to see it. After 2 minutes I wanted to walk out (Never walked out of a movie ever - and I seven stumbled into the Mummy Returns accidentally once). One of the lads hated it as much as me but made us hang on regardless and it was excrucciating.
Another one that had me reeling in the last year was Factory Girl. How can anyone enjoy a film full of self indulgent, vain, shallow idiots (though I do like my Bret Easton Ellis novels and movies)?? If I ever thought Andy Warhol had talent before I take it back after it. The one saving grace for me was knowing that Edie would die by the end.

I wish I could think of another top 8 but they are my 2 for now.

Money Shot

Some films that I personally hate, some are terrible, others are just so over rated, and others annoyed me because they missed a great opportunity to be very good - in no particular order

Disclaimer: my opinion only, and any attempts to convince me otherwise will be completely wasted

1. Cruel intentions
2. Lost in Translation
3. Gangs of New York
4. Pearl Harbor
5.The Departed
6. The football factory
7. Mr. and Mrs Jones
8. Bringing out the dead
9. the Business
10. Righteous Kill

I could go on and on, but won't

Dubh Geannain

I'd be surprised if someone disagrees: Glitter

Can I get a +1?

Edit: Too lazy to think of another 9. But Glitter would definately be worse than the said 9 together.

solace

Surely any of the "*insert buzz word* Movie" movies should be in there.

Date Movie
Epic Movie
Disaster Movie
Meet the Spartans

All that **** really gets to me. Talentless directors/writers cashing in on recent media 'phenomena'. Eugh.

Rowley Birkin QC

The worst film I have seen lately has to be "Ghost Ship".

10. Swept Away
9. Revolver (by the way I like Guy Ritche)
8. Gigli (Possibly in my top 10 Fav cause its so bad its a classic)
7. Phantom Menace (Criminaly bad for what could have been)
6. Alexander (I really really wanted to like it)
5. Hostel 2 (In a word... terrible)
4. date movie/epic movie (I stoped watching the films after these so I cant comment on Meet the spartan's etc.
3.Hulk (Ang Lee's Version..... Painful)
2. Love Actually (I liked two of the story lines but the rest is just lazy film making)
1. Gost Rider (says it all really)

Superman Returns is easily one of the worst and most pointless pieces of dogturd I've ever seen.

I persoanlly think all Star Wars films are absolute garbage.

Great film. The way such tension and fear was evoked with only the sea and two people to work with was absolutely class.

The only tension in that movie was surface tension.

Bulletproof Monk really deserves a place on the list...

4zn76tysfajdxp

I think the worst film I've ever seen has to be Charlies Angels 2. The whole film is just an exercise in excess, BANG after BOOM after CRASSSSSHHHHHHHHH MTV!
Everything about it is just so cynically made to try to appeal to idiotic teenagers:
1. The casting of Bernie Mac (every film needs an Uncle Tom)
2. The whole "sexy women beating up men" thing.
Just everything. **** it, if I wasn't supposed to be in class as I write this I'd write a fúcking theis about it. I wont though, for now...

2. Revenge Of the Sith (SW1/2/3 actually- God, I hate George Lucas

3. Meet The Spartans- no need to explain anything here

4. Hostel 2- For sick fvcks getting off on watching women die in horrible ways..

Fizman

Southland Tales!!

The worst film i've seen in years. I cried a little that night. I could make a better film out of milk and onions!

Mortal Combat 2 was also incredibly poor viewing.

I hated Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless mind! Utter sh1te!

I'll think of 7 more.

Also to add to the list Clerks 2......wow a dance scene....sigh.

Dont be at yourself

5. Rochelle, Rochelle

The movie about a young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk? OK, it's no Prognosis Negative, but it does have a bit of nudity, at least!

Recent, terrible, terrible films I've seen:

Superman Returns: It's up there with Ang Lee's Hulk for completely missing the mark. Awful character building, no sense of tension, an inexplicable plot twist, and lack of a strong villain made this the word comic book adaptation I can remember.

People I Know: One of the many turkeys that litters Pacino's recent career. It's glacially slow and never really gets off the ground.

Syriana: Never underestimate your audience, the old adage advises. However, in this case, too much was left to the audience to put together, rendering this political thriller a real headache for the audience. Left to fill in gaps from poor plotting, direction and editing, there was little time to enjoy what was actually on the screen!

The Day After Tomorrow: Or, The Worst Blockbuster Ever. It took the successful template of Independence Day, but replaced the fantastic alien adversary with, er, ice. Has none of the jaw-dropping moments of ID, and the set-pieces are dragged into the ridiculous by the lack of any real adversary - I mean, come on, being chased through a building by ice?

Ah... it's pretty awesome. Sure it tries to many different things and sort of falls flat on it's face... but it was still fun to watch it try.

And we get great scenes like this one along the way:

I'm afraid that he's not my friend. For some unknown reason i'm putting it down to madness some people think COM is one of the better films made. I didn't hate it but just didn't like it.

Oh and Bulletproof Monk is an Epic Suggestion, I was really looking forward to that and was heartbroken coming out of it.

No matter how much you despise Lucas there is no way Revenge of the Sith can be classed as one of the 10 worst movies of all time. It was the best of the 3 prequels by a long way.

Some of my suggestions...

Elf
Undercover Brother
Dude, Where's my car
Black Sheep

FrostyJack

Superman Returns: It's up there with Ang Lee's Hulk for completely missing the mark. Awful character building, no sense of tension, an inexplicable plot twist, and lack of a strong villain made this the word comic book adaptation I can remember.

Superman Returns wasn't the worst film ever, not great but ok. Daredevil, Spiderman 3 were the worst comic book adaptations, a million times worse.

The worst film ever has to be Final Approach. I waited 3 years to get it out when I was younger, it had what was like an SR-71 on the front and what was like a fighter similation game on the back. The actual film all took place in a white room in a doctors office. The greatest piece of false advertising ever.

Simple way never to see the worst films ever is to avoid any film with Eddie Murphy in it (bar Beverly Hills 1 and 2) and any film with Will Smith (bar BBoys 1, Hancok was exceptable providing you turn it off half way through) .
