What's the worst film you've ever seen?

    Was just reading a thread on another site there where people were listing their worst ever films and it got me thinking of the worst film I ever saw.

    For me, it was a film called 'Nothing But Trouble', which was Dan Aykroyd's one and only attempt at directing. Jesus, it was bad. I think it even won a razzie award the year it came out. Many films have come close, but nothing has ever beaten the sheer, jaw dropping awfulness of that film yet for me.

    What film tops the all time shit-o-meter for you?

    Dracula 3000 was pretty bad.

    I watched it with a group of friends, at first we thought it was a really bad comedy film but apparently it was suppose to be a serious horror film set on a spaceship complete with a cape wearing Dracula!!!

    Wag the Dog with Dustin Hoffmann, pure unadulterated plap.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭Tokarev


    Plan 9 from outer space.

    People told me, watch it, it's a cult classic and all that.

    What a crock of crap it was.

    The Shawshank Redemption


    (only kidding)

    Also all these superhero films are getting seriously ****.

    The first Spider-Man from about 10 years ago and The Dark knight were okay, I've hated the rest I've seen.

    Prometheus

    I had such high hopes for this but ended up walking out of the cinema absolutely bewildered

    films can be 'bad' for a lot of reasons but the only one that actually makes me angry is Requiem for a Dream. It's the perfect example of artistic and intellectual failure and when any 'cinema fan' mentions it as one of their favorites I instantly lose all respect for them


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭wazky


    Tropic Thunder, fell asleep in the cinema due to boredom.

    Grown Ups
    Scary Movie 3,4,5 (1 and 2 are bearable)
    White Chicks
    Paranormal Activity. Couldn't see what all the fuss was about. Terrible production values and not particularly scary.
    Happy Gilmore

    I remember a Tom Arnold film called The Stupids.
    Fell asleep in the cinema watching it.
    Dross.

    Anything on Sky Movies during the day, tbh. If they have to show it 74 times a week it's not worth the bother.

    Twilight, terrible acting and terrible story.

    It's not too bad if you look at it as a comedy, I don't think it is the intended genre though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭Adamantium


    Sucker Punch and Transformers 2.

    Cold light of day.

    What to expect when you're expecting and it's sequel I couldn't bite down on the cyanide capsule quick enough

    Ah yeah directed by B movie legend Ed Wood, horrendous low budget garbage that was panned by critics in the 50s. A good selection of his films are considered cult classics. Is it the so bad it's good rule? or maybe we just don't get it. :pac:

    Some films are so bad they're good.

    It's mediocre ones that you really hate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,009 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    In terms of stuff with a big enough budget:

    Armageddeon was a disgrace to cinema.

    Se7en was s steaming pile of crap.

    Troy was bad beyond description.

    Saw a film the other day called The Ides of March. For the cast (Clooney, Seymour Hoffman, Gosling, Giamatti) it was very formulaic and lame. Actually, Gosling is a woeful actor.

    Disaster Movie. I know that genre of films are generally crap, but good god this was a whole new level.
