A couple of my friends used to refer to "The Movie That Shan't Be Named" a couple years ago, and I had no idea what they were talking about. Then my friend's brother handed it to me and, curious as I was, I watched it. It is THAT bad. Anyone who's seen it is allowed to speak the name once every six months, so I'll be good to say it again in September.
The worst movie I have ever seen is Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.
Darjeeling is one of my favorites as well. I love Wes Andersons style. And "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" is beautiful!
I agree, life aquatic is superb. Check out Bottle Rocket if you haven't allready-There are less of Wes Anderson's trademark shots but Dignan has got to be my favourite character from any of his films.
hold on to your lunches when I say: Batman and Robin!!!!! it is no doubt the WORST movie ever made: it's full of pointless one-liners, the costumes are gay, the casting is all wrong, the continuity is BUNK, the way the portrayed Bane is crap (But most people don't pay any attention to that), and it's completely lost it's dark tone!!!!
At the top of my head "Skinwalkers", the title sounded cool, and it was about werewolves. Described as dark and gory, and with spectacular special effects.
The effects where so good you could almost see the pulleys, and the werewolves where just people with overgrown hair.
The fact that it never hit the big screen and went right to DVD, should have given me the clue really...
Anyway, I was disappointed at how bad Welcome To Station 34 is. Sure, the story was epic, and the jokes were funny, and that fight scene with Mr. T was cool. But I didn't like Stephen Baldwin's lead performance at ALL. I mean, he can NOT act as a futuristic health inspector. That scene with the sponge would have been comedy gold if it weren't for him chewing the scene.
Oh, a movie that I didn't just make up? Um...
The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie. Just wasn't funny.
Cannibal Holocaust is the first movie that comes to mind. Mamma Mia! isn't far behind though. At least I was able to watch through CH with heavy tobacco and alcohol consumption, but MM! is one of the few movies I haven't been able to sit through along with The New World and Seven Swords (Chat Gim). Oh and Die Blechtrommel is just awful, but that's probably more because I despise the protagonist than because it's a terrible movie.
Honestly it seems that, for me, movies that suck when they get good reviews are mostly the kinds of movies that are made primarily for artistic value.
If I watch a movie, I like to be entertained not ponder an art form. I'm willing to suspend disbelief to a point so long as the movie tries to keep my interest.
For example, I saw the movie The Day After Tomorrow.... Yes, the science is all wrong, one of the main characters forgoes his own advice and gets his friends needlessly killed, people irl can't outrun frost as though it's a charging monster, etc, etc. But it still was action filled and such. No Country for Old Men, to me seemed like it was trying too hard to be artistic or poignant or something, when really I was just bored with bad pacing and an abrupt anticlimax.
Movies that are made from a documentary sort of standpoint are kind of an exception to this rule, but not entirely exempt.
I found this synopsis to Alone In The Dark while searching for 'Max Fightmaster epic'.
The sequel to one of the greatest accomplishments ever captured on film. You are Staff Sargent Max Fightmaster. You are angry and believe me people won’t like you when you are angry. Aliens have abducted your dog, and they are going to pay. Armed with only his trusty mythical key-sword-tar he will embark on an adventure of epic proportions.
If that was the real movie, it would've been awesome.
I lasted 2 minutes before having to switch it off in case it made me so stupid that I became a complete vegetable and my brain started dribbling out of my ears. It was horrific that something could be THAT inane.
On the plus side, last night I saw Killer Klowns From Outer Space. The greatest case of "so bad that it's good" ever!:D
300 that was a load of tripe plus the narrator left halfway through yet was still narrating what he never saw at lest I think I only saw it once. Also WTF at the monsters in it?
The Butterfly effect 2 is a strong contendor for me, especially seeing as how the first ranks among my top three films i've seeen. How could they go so wrong? It was just incredibly boring.
I saw Clash of the Titans recently, and while there was some impressive CGI, the acting and writing where terrible and the characters where some of the least likeable in the history of movies.
I've never really gone to see rubbish films, though, so this is the worst I could do. I'm sure theer are worse out there.
This really is a time-saving thread. Many of these movies I have sort of considered seeing, but I have decided not to ever since reading through this thread.
Edit: Oh, by the way, 'Night at the Museum 2' was a complete failure; it was a very poor follow-up to the original (which I thoroughly enjoyed). I don't see why the makers would even consider releasing this pile of crap sequel, it's just a cheap imitation of what the first film was. 'Night at the Museum [1]' was a great film that both adults and children could enjoy; it had a reasonably good story and also had some jokes that a lot of children wouldn't understand. But the second film just felt like it was aimed directly at children under 10. A 'nothing' story, no character depth or development, and no intelligent jokes at all. The film relied on a pharaoh with a 'funny' lisp to provide half of its laughs because the writers failed to come up with anything decent. 'Night at the Museum 2' never should have been released.
Richard O'Brien and Tom Baker are the reasons I actually own the movie. That and it's actually entertaining to watch it with fellow D&D geeks for the sole purpose of mocking it. So I suppose that's another redeeming feature!
Have you seen the 2nd Dungeons and Dragons movie? Where the elf wizard critically fails her teleportation spell and gets her arm stuck in the wall?
That one's awesome. Terrible movie, but actually is accurate to DnD.
I like some John Carpenter movies... not that one. Probably the worst movie I've ever seen, unless I'm blocking something out.
My friends told me that one was a huge pile of crap before we watch it, but i actually liked it.
Definitely not a great movie, but i was expecting far worse. Couldn't really argue tho, as it's been quite a long time and i haven't really bothered again with it since then.

So one of my favorite movies of all time is the Secret of NIMH. So silly me, I decide I must see the sequel, Timmy to the Rescue. It's a movie I've seen on shelves since I was a little kid, and it always looked more exciting from the cover. So I go to its IMDB page and am shocked by its low score and the hate it gets. I decide I really have to see it now to see why people rag on it. And man let me tell you. It deserves to be tossed into the putrid fiery poop infested dungeons of a giant walking butt in the deepest dankest recesses of fecal hell.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was the worse film I saw in cinema, the film just felt so very pointless, none of the human characters were likeable and their's only so many times you can do a humping joke before it gets old... real old.
Worst film I saw EVER has to be Last of The Living, a cheesey New Zealand film that looked like poorly done student film. I rented it out for halloween wanting a good zombie flick... *sigh* why didn't I just get 28 Days Later.
Also saw some bad movies on MST3K but with the commentary those guys do I sorta forget the movie is terrible.
Hmm, worse film I've seen... I dunno if I can remember any that have been memorably bad, which I suppose is a blessing.
Oh no wait, yes I can. Super Mario Brothers.
I actually read a quote from Dennis Hopper, where his son asked him why he did that god awful Super Mario Brothers film. Mr Hopper replied he did films like that so that he (his son) could get new shoes. His son's reply was that he didn't need new shoes that badly :P

You don't see movies because they'll be bad...?

I adore strange and bizarre movies, but AotKT takes cheesiness to a level that even I can't tolerate.
Never saw it, but I liked the Cartoon.
It's funnier if you watch it with a friend and pretend it's a real horror movie.
I haven't seen that one, but I did watch Epic Movie for 15 minutes before I could no longer fight the compulsion to turn it off.
I've never really gone to see rubbish films, though, so this is the worst I could do. I'm sure theer are worse out there.
I like some John Carpenter movies... not that one. Probably the worst movie I've ever seen, unless I'm blocking something out.
Maybe also Hershel Gordon Lewis' "Blood Feast."

Worst movie? Probably a toss up between The Thin Red Line and Zombie Nosh.

Same here. Not even "for the sake of science".
This sums up my feelings on the movie pretty well.
Eric Idle why did you ever let yourself be cast in this movie?

*cough cough*
It ruined Pink Floyd for me. Pretty sure the worst.

It is an EXTREMELY BAD movie but I think the special effects are good!
Why I own the DVD, I'll never know.
