    mine would have to be either

    DUNE
    i know it has a big following but this movie tried too hard to be a deep thought provoking film and it failed miserably

    or

    Conan the Barbarian

    arnies first movie. nuff said:p

    It's a tie between xXx and Jack Frost II: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman.
    I've already gone to great lengths to describe why I hated xXx, so I won't do it again.
    As for Jack Frost II - I know it was supposed to be bad, but.. jesus. It looks like it was shot with a camcorder, five minutes ago. Still, the guy who wrote it is also writing the new John Cusack/Ray Liotta movie, so it sure didn't harm his career, amazingly.

    American Beauty.
    Weirdest film I ever saw was Eye of the Beholder .
    Very strange


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,847 ✭✭✭s8n


    I still know what you did last summer or hollow man, the only movie I've ever walked out on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭Mr. Fancypants


    The only two films that i felt were so bad that i almost walked out on where...

    Alien Resurrection
    and
    The Exterminator (A Lower than low Irish made film, anyone remember it?)

    Also, i know a lot of people seem to love this film here..... but i thought Event Horizon was really, really awful. Not the worst film i saw, but dreadful none the less.

    as we well know obeygiant hehe ;)

    Well most recently it's Orange County (Except the 15mins that Jack Black has in it)
    But I really though Jeepers Creepers was highly over rated and what sort of ending was that???:rolleyes: and therefore the worst...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 2,976 Mod ✭✭✭✭LoGiE


    Oh and Carbine DUNE was a good film! It left out a lot of details from the book. I suggest you read it then watch the film to fill in the gaps...that or watch the excellent Sci-Fi channel Dune trilogy;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    Flintstones - dear god no! just wrong on oh so many levels


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Heh, yeah Flintstones. Sister Act and Eraserhead rank way up there, I suppose the Avengers does too as I slept through it in the cinema. Now that's one thing I hate more than paying to go to the toilet - paying to go to sleep. Being paid to go to sleep is much better imho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,789 ✭✭✭eddhorse


    i dont agree with american beauty, hollow man or alien resurection being bad unless i have a brutal taste in films , but mine would have to be "dead in the water" , if anyone else has seen this , i feel ur pain , my sister rented it on dvd one night and i wouldnt mind but the worst thing bout any bad film is u somehow watch it all ,although u knew it was bad from the first ten mins....:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    Hmm bit of Deja vu here

    Dungeons and Dragons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Yeah that reminds me of the Mothman prophecies or whatever its called. We were there watching thinking - "Ok it's going to get interesting soon" for aaaaaaaaages. And it didn't.

    "What's The Worst that Could Happen?"

    - The worst that could happen, in this instance, being me renting this dog's egg of a film.

    OR

    "One Tough B*stard"

    - The film was 'one lame b*stard'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,186 ✭✭✭davej


    Dune is one of my favourites ! how dare anyone dis it!

    Anyway my candidates for worst ever are:

    Grosse Point Blank
    Skulls
    City of Angels (Nic Cage was in it)
    Speed 2
    X files movie

    the others was pretty boring, but i do have the attention span of a gnat.

    any of the pokemon movies (can't believe that i've actually watched 2 of them!!?!?)

    i disagree with quite a few of the above posts, different strokes for different folks i guess


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,228 ✭✭✭Scruff


    Ghosts of Mars.
    Natasha Henstrige should only ever be seen and not heard! or try to act!

    Windtalkers was the worst ive seen in a fair while.

    Grosse Point Blank

    Shirley some mistake!

    Tarzan, the Ape Man with Miles O'Keefe, Bo Derek and Richard Harris 1981 would get my vote at the moment. Harris made alot of **** it must be said.

    1. That has to be one of the best movies ever made.
    2. It was not arnies first movie, Herculese in New York was.
    3. Your father smells of elderberries.


    Honestly though, with some of the replies on this thread, you just really have to ask whether or not you guys even watch movies!? Not to mention actually BAD ones. Frankly, if you seen some of the stinkers I've seen in my time, you'd run home to your mommies.

    Anyway, there's no way in hell I'm going to name all the seriously **** movies I've seen. It could possibly take days. So here's a kinda best of the worst:

    Dagon - Dreadfull H.P. Lovecraft adaption, with a lead actor that was desperately trying to be Jeffrey Combs.
    Ghosts Of Mars - Carpenter directed this one by drawing stick men, and pasing the pictures to the actors. All while being on extra strong horse sedatives.
    Queen Of The Damned - Everyone involved in this abhoration should be rounded up and put into a lebanese death camp.
    City Of The Living Dead - I like Italian horror movies, I really do... But this is just bad on another plane of existance. Lucio Fulci should hang his head in shame.
    The Punisher - Got this on video as a birthday present because I liked the comic books. I'm not even gonna get into it it's so immensely bad.
    Apex - Futuristic garbled crap with robots that were borrowed from the power rangers.

    This is Syd_Vicious speaking...

    The worst film I have ever seen is The Nostril Picker (they even made a sequel)

    Scarier than Anne Robinson naked

    This has been Syd_Vicious speaking...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 958 ✭✭✭Mark


    The Rocky Horror Picture Show.....nuff said


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    R.O.T.O.R. or Robotic Officer Tactical Operation Research

    ....falls into the "so bad its good" catagory.

    Anybody else see this? We tragicly lost the only copy we ever had :( ...kind of a cult classic about the town.

    oh, btw... APEX was good craic back in the day, AngleWhore. I remeber getting a preview copy from a friend who worked for a magazine of somesort. Classic stuff :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    Dude Where's My Car
    and
    the new Planet of The Apes

    They are the first two that come to mind.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,639 ✭✭✭[nicK]


    Jeepers Creepers .....I was really glad to have watched it because at least then i could have a film as "worst film ever" ...so it was pretty entertaining that way i suppose..

    I dunno. I personally can't stand bad SciFi. As much as I love to watch seriously crap horror films, I just can't like crap SF in the same way at all. Something now like Screamers, I thought was sheer dreadfull, and just about unwatchable, but there's a few people I know who liked it. Even the kinda middle of the road stuff I can barely watch, so it really has to be good SF, or nothing. But I can just about stomach any kind of crap horror.

    Everyone? Ignore AngelWhore.

    I really, really enjoyed Dagon (just as much as I enjoyed Re-Animator). Sure, it takes itself a lot more seriously than Re-Animator, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. There is a massively creepy atmosphere over the entire film, and it is pretty faithful to the feeling of the original story.

    I think you're clutching at straws by saying the guy wanted to be Jeffrey Combs. Naturally, there are going to be similarities between the two (Stuart Gordon is not a fantastically multi-faceted director, but what he does, he does well), but I certainly don't think he was trying to be him.

    All the batmans after tim burton and michael keaton


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Toys, with Robin Williams.

    Awful awful film. Cant say that too many times. Really bad.

    BAD Robin Williams, BAD! He deserves a smacking for that one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭Kalina


    "Dude, where's my car" is one of the worst movies I've seen, I tried to see the funny side to it but it was so painfully stupid I couldn't pick out the humour at all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭johnnynolegs


    yeah dude wheres............ was sooooooooooo bad it was unbelievable
