01/20/2004 Entry: "Hrm. Let's give this a try..."

Today's Stupid Poll: What's the worst movie you've ever seen in theaters? Though "Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie" seems oddly entertaining to me now, I forced my mother to bring me home no more than 20 minutes in. Other candidates include "Career Opportunities" and "Murder By The Numbers," but that last one wasn't by choice. Leave your picks in the comments...

Return to Oz - mainly because i can remember being terrified of the 'Rock King' who stole the ruby slippers. The fact i was in a cinema watching this drivel was bad. Worse still, i'm forever scared with the memory of a claymation boulder who had penchant for invading my nightmares and wearing womens clothing.

Chestnuts roasted by Toeknee @ 01/20/2004 10:02 AM EST

Worst...movie...ever...Pauly Shore's Jury Duty. Fucking horrible. Only movie I have ever walked out of. I swore to never EVER see a Pauly Shore movie again. Not in theaters, not in my living room, not anywhere.

When I was 9 or so, my parents took me to see Batteries Not Included. I don't remember much of it, though I remember strongly disliking it. I think maybe my brain has intentionally blocked out the details of this experience for my own good. I wouldn't call it a traumatic experience, but I remember wanting to leave the theater pretty badly. If memory serves, we stayed for the whole thing. Maybe I'd like it more if I saw it today, 17 years after my initial viewing, but really, I just don't care enough to rent it.

Chestnuts roasted by Scott M. @ 01/20/2004 10:30 AM EST

100% the WORST movie I have ever seen in a theater had to be The Blair Witch Project. I started out beleaving all the hype. I saw the Sci Fi Mocumentry . I surfed the website. I thought it would be a cool horror flick with a new directorial direction.

After two LONG hours the scarriest part of the movie was the chick taking a piss!

They didn't even show the @##%$@! witch!

I want my $5 back!

Tarzan and the Lost City (1998)

Absolutely the worst movie I've ever seen in a theatre.

Chestnuts roasted by Rybo Flavin @ 01/20/2004 11:12 AM EST

I admit it. I saw "The Haunted Mansion." Aaaaargh. The special effects were very pretty (the skeletons in the mausoleum were animated even better than the ones in Pirates) but they couldn't make up for the utter shit that everything else about the movie produced.

Chestnuts roasted by Lion @ 01/20/2004 11:31 AM EST

The worst movie I've ever seen in theares was Bridget Jones' Diary. I don't know why people thought that this movie was funny, maybe I'm just stupid or something. I couldn't follow the story or anything.

Chestnuts roasted by Ryan @ 01/20/2004 11:42 AM EST

Here's my top two:

1. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Argh. Worst. Movie. Ever. It hurt my soul.

2. The Medallion. I figured "Hey, Jackie Chan movie. Can't be THAT bad." Oh man, was I wrong. Supposedly the most expensive Hong Kong movie ever made, or something like that. I think the expense all went to refunding people's ticket money.

Chestnuts roasted by Shawn @ 01/20/2004 11:42 AM EST

The only movie I've ever walked out on was What's The Worst That Could Happen, with Danny Devito and Martin Lawrence. As it turns out, that movie is the worst that could happen.

And Say Anything was a wonderful movie. So was Return to Oz, in fact I'm sort of surprised that hasn't been reviewed here yet.

Chestnuts roasted by i was a lion @ 01/20/2004 11:54 AM EST

Damn, I love Batteries Not Included. Then again, I love most movies from that time (yes, even Ghoulies). And did somebody say Return to Oz? For some reason that movie never scared me, I loved every minute of it.

As for my pick, it would probably go to something much more recent since I hold on to the other stuff like Linus' security blanket. Let's see... maybe The Ring? Yeah, what the hell was all the fuss about? The original is better.

There, that should press some buttons.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt (#2?) @ 01/20/2004 11:57 AM EST

Quick list off the top of my big ol' noggin:
Pearl Harbor: you could have projected the movie on that one girl's forehead.
Star Wars Ep. II: barely advances the story, but Warlord Draco from Xena was in it, and has the longest explanation of Blue Balls I ever heard in it.
Hulk: should have been great, gave us a horrible version of Absorbing Man, and of course Hulk Dogs.
Worst movie I have on video: Blair Witch, bottom line, the students got what they deserved, spirit or no spirit. I would give it a good MSTing if it wasn't filmed in QueasyVision(tm). blech.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 01/20/2004 12:01 PM EST

the original was better? Matt #2... you are very wrong. the original was terrible... when people die, the screen goes black and white... that's not scary. in the english version, when people died, it was much better. The "scene" is a little bit better in the original, but other then that, the english version blew the original away in terms of scary factor.

Worst movie I ever saw in a theater... and also the worst movie I've ever seen: Nurse Betty...

Nurse Betty is the worst movie ever made. hands down. it was terrible. it was the closest I was to walking out of a movie.

Worst.Movie.Ever:

Cat in the Hat. It was like getting kicked in the nuts for the longest 90 minutes of life.

Chestnuts roasted by Bob @ 01/20/2004 12:26 PM EST

and Matt #1... you know what I didn't get.. it was called murder by numbers.... I don't remember numbers playing any part in that movie at all. it was stupid, and the title didn't make any sense.

Chestnuts roasted by chad @ 01/20/2004 12:26 PM EST

It was meant to reflect the stupid hot teen idol/psychotic MOIDERERS textbook follow-through on their killing plot. The meaning was sadly lost by all the numbers and such used in the title.

By the way, add "In The Line of Fire" to my collection. Not because it was a bad movie, but because somehow, I saw it in theatres SEVEN TIMES.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 01/20/2004 12:30 PM EST

It's a tie. Lemme tell ya 2 short stories...
1. What Women Want - Yes, you heard me right. I went to see this drivel with my roommate/friend Chris R. one day, as he was REALLY keen on seeing it, and we usually had fun pointing things out at movies. Don't ask me why he wanted to see it, but meh. So throughout the movie, neither of us said a word. Turns out we both wanted to leave the theatre 20 minutes into it. We both thought the other was actually ENJOYING what we were watching! Okay, next story's short.
2. G.I. Jane - Fine, I was 15, and "in love." First day I was going out with this girl Candice, she wanted to get her gurrrl empowerment on. Big mistake. Sure, I was with the girl, holding hands, blah blah, but good heavens, this movie sucked hard. All's I got was a kiss in the end. Man, these movies sucked.

Chestnuts roasted by Armagideon Time @ 01/20/2004 12:38 PM EST

Worst movie I ever saw in a theatre was actually the first movie I ever saw with my (now) husband. He wanted to see Buffalo '66. I'm from near Buffalo, I understand the heartbreak of Scott Norwood missing a field goal, should be... watchable. It's still the only movie I have ever discussed walking out of in the middle. Too bad I'm not a quitter, and we decided to stay. Now, we love it. Only because of the experience though, not the actual movie.

Chestnuts roasted by Alison @ 01/20/2004 12:38 PM EST

Worst movie ever was "Amos and Andrew" with Nick Cage and Samuel L Jackson. My friend and I had the day off from school so we went to our local movie theater. It was SOO awful. Seems like i was smart enough at 13 to walk out of a movie, but i guess i wasn't.

Chestnuts roasted by Dave @ 01/20/2004 12:43 PM EST

Kazaam. Man I wanted to give Shaq a chance, and bless the man for be willing to make fun of himself while doing it, but it was a piece of crap. You know a movie is bad when the "sad" parts make your bust-out laughing. (Plus you KNOW somebody was thinking, "Hey, Shaq plays for the Orlando Magic. Let's make him a MAGICIAN." Don't get me started on the racial undertones to the story.)

Chestnuts roasted by "Booty Boot Crystal" @ 01/20/2004 12:56 PM EST

I saw spawn in the theaters 6 times Matt... and for some reason, I thought it was awesome. God I was sooooo wrong. I thought it was rediculous to see something 3 times in a theater... but i kept going back... what was i thinking.

but nurse betty once was worse then spawn 6 times.

Chestnuts roasted by chad @ 01/20/2004 01:06 PM EST

Blair Witch? No, Blair Witch 2. That movie was utterly terrible. But it does not hold up to Gone Fishin'. Glover and Pesci should not have done a comedy. I did not laugh once. I REALLY hate that movie and wish it never existed.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 01/20/2004 01:17 PM EST

Matrix Revolutions, since I am usually a good judge about what movies to see, and this one blew, HARD. And even though it sucked, I have this thing where I can't miss one second of a movie, especially after paying for it, so downing an XL Dr. Pepper had me dancing inmy seat 30 minutes in. But being dragged to see the Lion King when I was about 9 was bad (I loathe Disney movies). Little kids were all staring at me with tears in their eyes when I laughed at the lion dude getting killed or whatever.

Chestnuts roasted by Rob @ 01/20/2004 01:21 PM EST

hammington - I hope you meant "Anything Else" up there, not "Say Anything". "Say Anything" stars John Cusack (Lloyd Dobler)& Ione Skye (Diane Court)and is one of my very favorite films.

Haunted Honeymoon. Complete drek!

Chestnuts roasted by Pig Malien @ 01/20/2004 01:27 PM EST

The only movie I ever walked out of is "Almost Heros". We lasted about 3 minutes after the opening credits. Fortunatly, we had enough sense to sneak into a different movie and that's the reason I saw "A Perfect Murder".

Chestnuts roasted by Kennef @ 01/20/2004 01:30 PM EST

Geez, worst movie in a theater?? I wouldn't know where to start! In recent years it would be "The Ring" (though for some reason I was up till 1 AM watching it on cable last night and being interested in it!), Darkness Falls (nothing like a theater with NO surround sound and 50 teenagers who screamed everytime someone opened a closet), and McHale's Navy was the worst Tim Curry movie I've seen in a theater. I remember there were only 5 people in the whole place, two kids about 12 years old walked out so it just goes to show you how bad it really was if 12 year olds didn't like it! I'm sure there's many others from my past but it's hard to separate worst FILM from worst theater experience at the moment since it all blends together in one unspeakable horror.

the Matrix Reloaded ugh.. followed by Matrix Revolutions and probably that Planet of the Apes remake.. oh and the Time Machine.. what a disappointment. Reminded me too much of that horrible Planet of the Apes remake.

Chestnuts roasted by Toxicity- @ 01/20/2004 01:50 PM EST

The worst movie I ever saw is a draw between "Not Another Teen Movie" and "Freddy Got Fingered." If there was humor there I missed it. I hated both of these flicks, thankfully I paid for neither.

Oh and I can't post this without mentioning Adam Sandler's "8 Crazy Nights" a truly terrible animated film. I'm a fan of his, but I'll never forgive him for that atrocity.

I definitely have to second the nominations: for "Spawn," "Blair Witch 2," and "Hulk," being on the worst of list, but I demand "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey," be removed. STATION!

Saw it TWICE.... walked out of it TWICE. Why did I go twice? When you are in eighth grade, you gotta depend on where the majority of friends wanna go and where the carpooling mom is willing to drive... damn me for hanging with two circles that wanted to see that movie.

Chestnuts roasted by Nachokhaki @ 01/20/2004 01:52 PM EST

I work in a movie theatre, so I see a lot of terrible movies. Once the theatre closes, we have staff screenings where we all watch various movies that are in the theatre. Normally we watch the good movies (I think I saw X2 4 or 5 times at staff screenings...) but my friends and I have our own special screenings called "The From Justin to Kelly Movie Club" where we watch all the terrible movies and make fun of them together. From Justin to Kelly has got to be one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever seen. The other two movies added to the series so far are "Love Don't Cost a Thing" with Nick Cannon and Christina Millian (who, you say? God that movie was awful) and Swimfan, which was added retroactively because it was terrible too.

Chestnuts roasted by Gabbylicious @ 01/20/2004 01:53 PM EST

Saw the second "Matrix" missed the third. Honestly, Flynn from "Tron" got his act together faster than Neo did. I'm tired of the whole 'you get zapped in VR so your real body dies even if you know you're in a rtificial construct' gimmick in movies and TV. Neo should have been able to create some huge weaponry from programming to counter the other avatars or whatever, but noooo....

Chestnuts roasted by Joe @ 01/20/2004 02:05 PM EST

Gone fishing is definately up there. Spice world was pure bordom. Star trek 5 was pretty bad.
The super mario bros, street fighter, judge dred.
The worst I've ever seen though, was Fled with Steven-igotnotalent-Baldwin. T3 is a close 2nd.

Chestnuts roasted by turkeys can't fly? @ 01/20/2004 02:22 PM EST

Street Fighter: The Movie for me.

Also, to respond to Ryan's post about the Haunted Mansion skeletons being better animated than the Pirates ones, it's because they weren't animated, they're all practical effects(guys in costumes)

Chestnuts roasted by Casey Jones @ 01/20/2004 02:31 PM EST

My candidates include:

Jurassic Park:Lost World (stupid T rex in the city scene)
Jurassic Park III (could have really used a T rex in the city scene)
28 Days (or really, any romantic comedy with Sandra Bullock)
Supergirl (you all know about this one)
Lost in Space (Matt Leblanc--enough said)
Back to the Beach (a movie riding n a Pee Wee Herman cameo, for god's sake)
Godzilla (American version. What a waste of Kaiju legend)
The Shadow (I can't say why, other than REALLY REALLY SYUPID. Blame the Baldwin guy)

There are undoubtedly others, but those come most quickly to mind.

Easily one of the worst movies ever made...and the only movie I have EVER walked out of, THE STUPIDS....Tom Arnold and a claymation cat and dog. Seriously unwatchable...

Chestnuts roasted by Trash @ 01/20/2004 02:41 PM EST

Remember the Chevy Chase dog "Modern Problems" where he gets doused with nuclear waste and gains special powers? I was 10 or 11 when I went... and walked out less than halfway through.

If only I had saved that $5 and invested it, I could buy Chevy Chase's career now!

Chestnuts roasted by adam @ 01/20/2004 02:43 PM EST

I agree on the Street Fighter movie. All the fighters just happen to wind up looking like their video game counterparts by the end of the film. Yeah, that was clever. The anime was much better. Jean-Claude as Guile, HA!

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 01/20/2004 02:45 PM EST

ohhhhh I gotta add on, Every single Sandra Bullock movie ever blows big time. and the blair witch project thingy. lukily I've never paid for a sandra bullock movie, and I only paid two bucks for blair witch. The best part is, I got so motion sick, and had the flu at the time, so some poor movie theatre employee had to clean up my puke. I just pretended I didn't just puke all over the next two seats, and walked out. serves em right.

Idle Hands. I prayed that it would all end soon.
Apollo 13-the only movie I ever walked out on. It was such a critical success but to me it sucked shit through a bendy straw.
Hackers...I recently saw it agaain on cable figuring maybe I had missed something. Nope it sucked a second time too.
Street Fighter wasn't so bad that I couldn't watch it but it was painful to see Raul Julia's last rold be M Bison and the Belgian American hero Guile...
Rowan- Troll and Pinnochio's Revenge are great examples of torture :) Saweet pics, dude.

Mars Attacks

Chestnuts roasted by pogocorpse @ 01/20/2004 03:12 PM EST

I used to belong to a kids' movie club to see sneak previews. Some of the crap I had to see included "Cop and a Half," and "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story." A few years later, I snuck into a sneak preview (had a pass for another sneak preview at the theater that I didn't want to see) of "Road Trip." Good thing I never paid for those movies.
But I think my viewing of "Super Mario Bros." was paid for.

I felt reeeeeeally sorry for ice t in johnny mnemonic. Being in anything with Keanu is bad enough, but he lost all credibility when he put that kangaroo costum on. That eden movie with Dan Ackroyd and Rosie O'Donnel. Rosie in leather, I was blinded by the sight. I wish some one would have assasinated Rob Shneider for doing The Animal.

Chestnuts roasted by turkeys can't fly? @ 01/20/2004 03:25 PM EST

Yeah Street Fighter II was infact a big disappointment. Only funny part I get a kick out of was when Bison mocked Sagat by covering one of his eyes with his hand and saying, "What's a matter Sagat can't see the whole picture. Anime series is surely the best ever and is more watchable. Of course I'm a big Street Fighter II fan. But the movie was just a mockery. I guess the director couldn't even see the whole picture on what he did.

Chestnuts roasted by Rogue Scholar @ 01/20/2004 03:55 PM EST

I have to agree with Mars Attacks and the Haunted Mansion being bad. With both, I wanted to leave, but kept feeling like it HAD to get better! Yeah, no. It didn't. I literally fell asleep in Star Wars I (or maybe II; hard to distinguish), which I had never done before and haven't done since. Very sad. Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions also bad. However, the movie that I thought was dreadful but couldn't get any of my 'artsy' friends to agree with was Punch Drunk Love with Adam Sandler. It's a 'what the fuck?' kind of a movie that was just a string of unrelated incidents that don't happen to real people. Sorry if I'm just not intellectual enough to figure it out; sometimes I don't *like* having to figure out movies!

*phew* Now that that is off my chest, you can now buy canisters at Disney of colored hot cocoa: red, blue, pink, dark green, light green, and of course, PURPLE! Haven't tried it yet but if that isn't a great gimmick for kids then I don't know what is! Even better, each color corresponds to a Disney character: pink, light green, and purple are 'princess' colors, and red, blue, and dark green are Buzz Lightyear and...others.

I probably could've mention that in conjunction with the colored popcorn but I didn't. So sue me!

Four words
The Underground Comedy Movie.

This was my sophmore year of college and the local movie theater was doing different midnight movie screenings. So some guys are on cmapus with portable dvd players showing the trailer for this film (you've probably seen them seeling it on late night tv) It looked really funny. So I convinced my roommate and neighbor to go see it.
Well first of all the night already sucked as our football team suffered a triple overtime loss in which we lsot our starting quarterback for the season to injury. SO the game finally ends at midnight, we rush down the street to the theater, and end up waiting another 15 minutes for the film to start.

It was HORRIBLE, even the few moments that were funny in the trailer were not funny the second time around. The sex jokes were disgusting, the disgusting joeks were more disgusting. and it dragge don and on. I was desperately hoping for either some comedy or some nudity, and neither came. The absolute low point was the homeless beauty pageant, even remembering it brings shivers...

And it wasn't even a so bad it's good type of thing, it was just bad...

Strangest movie reaction, courtesy of Little Brother: Whenever a film like "Dances with Wolves" or "Geronimo" comes out, he gets people that find out he's american indian, then have to say that now they understand what our people have gone through. Best one was an old lady who told him something like, "When you have your uprising, I'll support you 100%." Unknown danger of living in a college town, I guess.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 01/20/2004 04:27 PM EST

Aww Duck how can you hate Idle Hands? I love that movie. Seth Green wandering around with a broken bottle stuck in his head, Devon Sawa being all twitchy, and the fat kid finally finding a slutty girl to love him, only to see her chopped into goop by a fan... if that isn't entertainment I dunno what is!

Chestnuts roasted by Gabbylicious @ 01/20/2004 04:34 PM EST

The worst movie in recent memory i saw in the theaters was "Old School". I swear the jokes were written by 13 year old boys. Calling someone a faggot is considered humor?? Bleh.

Chestnuts roasted by lain @ 01/20/2004 04:38 PM EST

Where the heck is Duck? How rough was last night?

Let's see, worst movie, best experience - Friday the 13th part VIII, Jason Takes Manhattan. The movie was obviously a huge joke, even to the people making it. Although, the theatre was packed, and it had a Rocky Horror atmosphere going on.

Worst movie, worst experience: I actually spent money to go see In the Bedroom. It wasn't too bad for the first ten minutes or so, and then Nick Stahl bites it (w/ a cavernous head wound that was actually pretty cool), and the rest of the movie was like watching my grandparents play Scrabble. Boring and almost painful to my psyche.

Movie I paid to see numerous times but I have no idea why: Dazed and Confused. Actually, I think it was to hear Matthew Maconaughy say, "Hey, man. Watch the leather, man," in clear, stoned-out fashion. Oh, maybe it was to see that guy in the overalls jump rooftops. Who knows.

Now granted, I only skimmed lightly, but how could it take this long for someone to mention the absolute worst film in the history of the universe. It was directed horribly, writen horribly, acted horribly and worst of all, failed to have anything to do with it's intended subject.

"House of The Dead" had zilch to do with the game, the worst acting I have ever seen, and was directed in such a manner that it could give you sesures. That film has got to be the Crem de la Crap.

Easy, Tom Greens opus, Freddy Got Fingered. Other ones that come to mind are the McHales Navy remake, Carpool, Tomcats, Tomb Raider, Terminator 3, Supernova, The Punisher, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3, Street Fighter, Surf Ninjas, The Medallion, holy God I've seen too many movies.

Nothing But Trouble - This film took big stars and made them suck. Demi Moore, Chevy Case, Dan Akroyd, and The Digital Underground (Do the Humpty Hump). Its a film that is so bad that it needed a music video in the middle to make it longer.

Also I sort of tolerated the 5th Element the first time I saw it in the theater, but now HBO thinks that we need to see this one every day. Seriously, this film is on one of the HBO's constantly. Talk about beating a dead horse.

"Dumb and Dumberer" (Lost a bet and figured the director of "Mr. Show" would make it at least decent. He showed that he needs Bob and David; like how he messed up "Run Ronnie Run" by not allowing them to make their cut to the film.)
Crash (David Croenberg's movie about people having car accidents and the fetish they develop from the experience. Walked out after James Spader and Rosanna Arquette's leg gash had a passionate moment.)
"Star Wars: Episode I" (I was yelled at opening night by the SW fans since I could not control my laughter.)
"Gattaca" (Theatre manager woke me up from my snooze because I was snoring too loud.)
Emmerich's "Godzilla" (I started doing an impression of a Japanese scientist. He was was supposedly the scientific advisor for the film. Had a third of the audience listening and laughing at me during the final ten minutes.)
"Master of the Universe" (The first movie I was ever disappointed by as a kid. I love the movie now for its goofiness and of course Dolph at the Thanksgiving day parade.)

Chestnuts roasted by ME @ 01/20/2004 05:41 PM EST

I don't remember ever seeing a movie I truly hated in the theater, but then, I'm generally easy on movies. Even ones that other people say suck (for instance, I love "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey," both recent "Star Wars" movies, and "Return to Oz," which my parents have on tape at home). I'm not a horror fan or a fan of really sophmoric humor, which eliminates such obvious canadates as "Freddy Got Fingered" and "The Blair Witch Project" (my sisters loved that movie, go figure). I did hate "Godzilla" when my brother got so into it (big dinosaur that eats New York, big deal).

When I was a teenager, I would see a movie every August, one of the worst months of the year for movies, usually because I was bored. I would never have even debated seeing "A Very Brady Sequal" otherwise. No masterpiece, but not bad (Matt, you're a Brady fan, you may already have seen it). I also saw "The Replacements" in August - fun, if you can get past the fact that if Keanu Reeves is a quarterback, I'm Jennifer Lopez.

Worst movie- Rollerball... the remake. I have this friend who was dying to see it and nobody would go with her... so I did. I should have listened to everybody else. We both thought it was awful, and I threw down $8.50 to see it... then somebody threw out my ticket.

Worst movie experience for a good movie- 101 Dalmatians- the original. I was maybe 4 or 5 years old, and we sat in front of this other family. It's a dog (and occasionally cat, right?) movie, and their little kid, who was maybe a year younger than me, would yell "Cat, cat!" or "Dog, dog!" EVERY time that one would come onscreen. It was horrible.

And in response to whoever (whomever?) mentioned Tomcats (I'm too lazy to look for it, sorry!), my best friend paid to see a different movie and snuck into the theater to see that. She still regrets it to this day.

I dragged my date to this frigging movie, expecting some sort of Exorcist type movie. I wound up bored off of my ass the whole time. I don't know if the suckiness of the movie caused this, but i'll blame it anyway: my date wound up with a migraine, and i didn't get any after the movie. stupid fucking flick

I'm pretty easy on movies,and try not to go to movies I don't really want to see,but in hindsight,King Ralph and Look Who's Talking Too probably weren't the greatest films to go see in the theater. I saw The Santa Clause 2,but that was becuase the movie I really wanted to see was sold out.

I hate walking out of a movie that I spent money on, but I went to go see Down with Love a few months ago, that was an awful awful movie and 30 minutes into it, I walked out. Other bad ones, Love Actually, anything with Tom Green. When I was about 12, I saw the movie ED, with joey from friends. I didn't walk out of that one, but I should have. Was boring and had the worst looking gorilla ever,but if I remember right, it played baseball. Whoo

Just remembered two more, saw these as a child, was young enough at the time that I didn't realize they sucked. Cop and 1/2, the fantastic Burt Renolds film where in he befriends a small black child and, naturally, takes him with him on drug busts, and Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot. God, I actually liked those as a kid, I must have been the only 6 year old in midwestern Illinois on crack.

Chestnuts roasted by spongerob @ 01/20/2004 06:52 PM EST

All of you be grateful that you haven't seen the second worst movie in the whole world: 2001's "Waking Life."

Here's the plot: Ugly, squishy-looking rotoscoped animation tells the story of people babbling at length about the meaning of life and the meaning of dreams, and there's some sort of subplot about how a guy is dreaming all this. The first plot point comes a half-hour into the movie, where he flips a switch and the lights don't go off.

In essence, you could see this movie for free by walking into Starbucks, finding a smug, self-congratulatory first-year sociology student, and ask him/her to wax philosophical about how they know the real answer to the world's problems, and wave a frosted shower door in front of their faces as they do so. I promise you wouldn't notice the difference.

The worst movie in the entire world, worse than Plan 9, Manos, and Batman & Robin combined, is of course The Neverending Story III... but I didn't see that in theaters, so it don't count here.

mindsuckr, Gummo is great to guy like me with a strange sense of humor. Harmony Korine made it, and like his Julien: Donkey Boy, I found it to be "painfully hilarious." Painful in that he writes and shoots realistic-like scenerios (Dogme95 style) and hilarious in the same twisted realistic-like way the odd moments come off.

Chestnuts roasted by 5/8ths of a swell person @ 01/20/2004 07:27 PM EST

I see a lot of movies in theaters, but I try to find the good in all the movies I see. Dana Carvey's impression of Quint from Jaws was almost worth the $2 I paid to see "Master of Disguise." I don't remember what I liked about the "Planet of the Apes" remake, but it was overshadowed by the fact that it was a really late showing and I went with my stepbrother's pot-smoking friends.

But I have to say that the first movie that I saw in theaters that I remember not liking was "Star Trek V". Looking at IMDb, I had to have been 5, it's amazing I still remember seeing it. All I can really remember is McCoy watching his father die and me thinking, "what?" I may not have thought it was bad then (I don't remember), but I know it's bad now.

Chestnuts roasted by 005 @ 01/20/2004 07:33 PM EST

Ah!, I have seen Waking Life, it was wierd, but not half bad. I still think it should have been nominated that year for best animated film.

I even own it on dvd, though I haven't watched it...

Oh I know the 2nd worst movie I ever paid to see.

Super Mario bros.

*shudders at the thought*

Chestnuts roasted by Chris @ 01/20/2004 07:40 PM EST

My bf and I looked forward to seeing Jurassic Park III with glee as soon as it was announced. Yes, we should have learned from The Lost World, but what can I say? We were young and hopeful. Halfway through the movie, he turned to me and said "If that little kid is not torn to pieces when they find him, I'm walking out." Of course *spoiler alert* somehow the thirteen year old boy survived on an island full of dinosaurs with only a bottle of T-Rex pee to his name, when dozens of muscleheads with bazookas were killed within minutes, and dinosaur and security experts were devoured. Pure sequel logic. At that point, the movie had gotten so ridiculous that our curiousity got the better of us and we broke our promise to walk out. That's the closest I've ever come to walking out of a theater. (MST fans always have a reason to watch even the worst movies)
After paying to see Matrix Reloaded, I wasn't stupid enough to pay for Revolutions, so I downloaded a camcorder version. During the most dramatic moments, the audience would be laughing so hard at the horrible script that you couldn't even hear the dialog!
Technically, I didn't see it in theaters, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the disaster that was Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses. Add one part horror schlock, two parts derivative gore, three parts bad acting; chill and serve.

Chestnuts roasted by Isca @ 01/20/2004 07:57 PM EST

Bad movies - so many to choose from...

KIng Kong, the 70's version with the monkey climbing up the Trade Center is horrible. Seeing Kong blow dry that chick after showering her in a water fall was just too strange.

Bram Strokers Dracula - I walked out after I got tired of stabbing myself in the arm with my car keys to stay awake.

The Chase with Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson. The entire movie was stupid, but them having sex while driving a car in police chase was even more stupid.

The Skulls or whatever it was that had the kid from the Mighty Ducks and the ever cardboard Paul Walker. What a shitty movie.

Chestnuts roasted by Planet Garp @ 01/20/2004 08:12 PM EST

Chestnuts roasted by Evin @ 01/20/2004 08:54 PM EST

I can't believe I left out Congo (A Tim Curry classic, if ever there could be one). This was right after Jurassic Park, so there was no excuse fo rthe terrible animatronics and CGI in a Crichton-based film. But yes, the book is decent. Not great, nothing remarkable, but should have produced a MUCH better film.

And yet one other--Eraserhead. Artistic film noire featuring a screeching thing and a plotless story. I stayed only to se Iron Monkey afterwards.

And I shouldn't have knocked Lost in Space, I have great Drive-In memories of that film from my second viewing, if you catch my drift. We (me and ex-girlfriend) knew we weren't missing much, and had already seen Scream (2? maybe? It sucked too, but not as bad). But we were already there...

We left soon after.

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 01/20/2004 09:27 PM EST

Congo was bad, wasn't it...I think I had blocked that from my mind. It's sad too because the book was pretty good. Just the movie did do much for character development. I couldn't have cared less if any of them had died. And then came the apes. That was a shoot me now moment.

Spongerob- I just saw feardotcom on cable a couple of days ago. It most definitely was a poke your eyes out to save yourself movie.

I really hate crowds, so I only go to the movies if I really, really want to see something (usually the summer blockbusters). So I don't think I've ever hated anything I've seen. I guess Thirteen Ghosts would be the worst. But definitely the most disappointing was Phantom Menace. After waiting and reading every rumor out there for 16 years, it definitely felt like a kick in the nuts.

Worst movies I've ever seen in a theatre?

Fried Green Tomatoes is up there. I went in hoping for a disturbing mystery... and I got farms. Lots of farms. I fell asleep. Now I watch Big O for INTERESTING tomatoes.

Me, Myself, and Irene was just frikkin' awful. It was the movie that ended my intent to see every Jim Carrey movie and be selective.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was good... until I figured out the mystery BEFORE BATMAN. Some detective...

Oh, and the reason no one's listed BioDome? No one had bad enough taste to go see it. DUH.

Chestnuts roasted by Aaron @ 01/20/2004 11:15 PM EST

I can't remember the name of the worst film I saw at the theater. It was some Australian science fiction movie about the end of the world or life on Mars, I can't remember which. There were about 4 people living in some sort of outpost, everything was white and future looking inside. Outside it was a barren desert. Then something happend. Can't remember what. I saw this in about the only place in the world where it didn't go direct to video, Labasa in the Fiji Islands. I saw it about 5 years ago and the thing I remember most vididly was the sound my glass coke bottle made rolling down the concrete floor of the theater when I knocked it over.

Chestnuts roasted by meenk @ 01/21/2004 12:54 AM EST

The Governess starring Minnie Driver. My mom took my whole family to see, said it was artistic and well done. Also we had to see cause it was a story about a Jewish women who pretends she is not and being Jewish, my mom thought it was important to go see this cinematic event?

So what's this movie about anyways? Well something to do with Minnie Driver becoming a Nanny then helping this old guy discover how to develop film, then she has sex with thim numerous times. The girl she is watching is obsessed with death, the old guy's son is is obsessed with Minnie...in the end it turned out to be a soft-core porn.

Due to me and the rest of my family, my mom will never be able to forger her mistake of taking the whole family to a porn movie.

Oh and just a side note, I would've thought that Minnie's tits we bigger, guess I was wrong.

Hey, I liked Brotherhood of the Wolf (never saw it in theatres, though).

I'd forgotten about Birdcage. That sucked. Another one that I'd forgotten--In and Out. Kevin Kline coming to terms with his homosexuality. With Tom Selleck. We always knew from the moustache.

I don't see many movies in theatres. But as my memory returns, I seem to have seen a lot of crap in theatres, at least at one time. Movies are just too much $$$ to waste these days.

And I notice that Lost in Space has tortured other drive-in goers. But I've already discussed that.

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 01/21/2004 01:29 AM EST

I have to stand up in defense of Wedding Singer (saw it in the theater, liked it, still do), and Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, which ranks as an all time favorite of mine. But, to each their own I guess.

Chestnuts roasted by Rob @ 01/21/2004 01:50 AM EST

"Dungeons and Dragons". It was so amazingly bad and blatantly ripped off of other movies that afterwards my friends and I wandered over to the next screen to see "Dude, Where's My Car?" and I actually liked it.

Dungeons and Dragons was like what would happen if you transcribed everything that happened in a bunch of 12-year-olds' very first D&D game and threw it on the screen with some crappy special effects. I mean, when a WAYANS BROTHER dies and you're like "Well damn, there goes the only interesting thing about the movie," you know it's bad.

Oh yeah, I saw "Spawn" too. Crappy movie, great soundtrack.

Chestnuts roasted by Killer Duck @ 01/21/2004 03:31 AM EST

Actually, I was thinking about this very subject quite recently, and, if I had to name just one, Kevin Costner's The Postman. Rrrriiiigggghhht, the postman character is the only person whom remembers Shakespeare; erm, wasn't everyone else aside from the kids alive at the time of the nuclear war? Why is Kevin Costner's character the only one seemingly not suffering from collective cultural amnesia? And what's with the town with Tom Petty as mayor (the mayor is never named, but Kevin acts like it's Tom Petty)? If it's over 15 years after, wouldn't Tom Petty have aged some?

Another Costner turd I paid to see was 3000 Miles to Graceland, though I didn't like that one because I just found it abhorrently violent with no redeeming qualities, and the Kurt Russell character is supposed to be the criminal we sympathize with because he didn't do any of the actual killing during the heist at the beginning of the film, but he was an accomplice to a plan where he knew a crapload of innocent people would be murdered and yet did nothing, so I don't really consider him any better than the Costner character.

Usually I see movies by myself (and I don't understand the stigma against that), so I don't see that many films that I don't think I will enjoy. (Also, I enjoyed some films mentioned in this thread, especially Freddy Got Fingered, but that's the sort of comedy you either find funny or you don't, and, if you don't, the film has no other redeeming qualities.)

Ooh...I forgot about MIB II. What a terrible letdown. Could have been a great sequel, but they had to go and ruin it. Sad.

And I like some of the movies on this list because they're SO bad, they're good. For example: Super Mario Bros. Movie. Classic case of marketing execs wanting to cash in on a name, but an interesting cultural take.

I also like the Matt Broderick Godzilla, specifically becasue it takes itself so seriously...It was almost satirical. I could enjoy it in the Theatre, but it isn't something that I would watch over and over on video.

Chestnuts roasted by Photoboy @ 01/21/2004 08:45 AM EST

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned "Coyote Ugly", "A Perfect Storm", "Scream 3" or "The Thirteenth Warrior" yet. I was (un)lucky enough to see all those in a freaking row within two weeks or so. I stopped watching new movies for a year. Seriously.

"CU" is just plain stupid, overacted piece of crap with a non-attractive shallow lead (supposedly a "guy" movie with beautiful chicks) and dialogue that's predictable line by line.

"Perfect Storm" fits well within the same criterias .. my favourite part was when the navy captain promised to sink the whole ship if needed, while a rescued helicoper pilot was screaming "Jonesyyyyyy ... nooo".

I eaven won't get into "Scream 3", the music always gave away first the false scare, and then the real one, and tehere were a total of about 1 of those moments in the film. Tediously boring othevise.

"13th warrior" was a stupid collage of a film with no direction, bad plot to begin with, bad acting, and so many loose ends that didn't make any sense.

oh, and the last Matrix sucked too. First movie I ever wanted a refund on. I didn't get one :(

Jeez, I'd forgotten about Batman & Robin. A friend and I saw that shortly after it opened. A few minutes in, we gave up any hope of taking it seriously, and tried to enjoy the cheesiness of it. It was still terrible.

I also remembered a few gems from my summer camp days. Once in a while, when it was raining really bad, they'd pile us into a bus and ship us off to a movie theater. That's all well and good, but their choice of movies was just plain bizarre, considering that we were all about 8 years old. One time it was Robocop 2. I'd never seen the original Robocop, and the second one just scared me. All I remember is some sort of gory operation scene. Another wonderful choice was some Star Trek movie. I don't remember which one, but there was a scene where the crew sat around a campfire eating beans. I wish I was joking about that. At the time, I thought it was the most boring movie ever.

Maybe the counselors just really hated us...

Wow, I like a lot of crappy movies...Bill and Teds Bogus Journey...as previously stated, "Station!"...what else, Anaconda,even the Postman...even though what was Laurenz Tates' characters name...wasn't it Ford Lincoln Mercury or some stupid shee-ite? Hmmm, what else? Fell asleep during Star Wars episode 1, had to sit through Matrix 2 twice...and Nutty Professor 2, which isn't very funny the second time around...Hmmm, I liked In the Bedroom, hated What Women Want,Godzilla,MIB 2, oh all time worst movie in the theater...Queen of the Damned...

Chestnuts roasted by whitemale_98 @ 01/21/2004 11:48 AM EST

Wow. What was done to the King of the Monsters. As I have said, I grew up on old TV shows and afternoon movies (Cue "Love for Sale" from True Stories), and Godzilla was a staple, nay, a requirement of late night, afternoon, and whenever the UHF station had time to fill, movie viewings. Yours truly,and Little Brother, and his wife, had gone to see the all new freakin' iguana movie. On opening day, yet. At least we got some free crap and a coupon for Taco Bell. Toy Fare had a similar reaction in their pages, "Toho, why have you forsaken me?"

After reading through these comments, I felt compelled to comment on the comments. sorry.

Autumn in new york - I saw this in the theater and was bored out of my mind. It was a compromise to an old girlfriend who I often dragged to movies I wanted to see. This movie was so predictable and cliched that I felt like the script writers said:
"Ok, we need a movie that girls will cry watching. What is sad?"
"Young women dying are sad!"
"Ok, run with that. We have a young woman dying, but wouldn;t that be more sad if she died right after she fell in love?"
"Oh that's good, I think Shakespeare did something like that"
Before I go off on a rant about the lack of chemistry and the fact that he CHEATED ON HER IN THE VERY BEGINING OF THE RELATIONSHIP!!!! I will move on.

I enjoyed Idle Hands. I guess I can understand why someone would not like it, but for me it was a wacky good time. I actually had a dream that I was in that movie (I guess I was playing Seth Green's character) and I was a zombie. David Bowie wasn't in it, but the chubby guy (the one who is not Seth) and I were throwing hedge clippers at each other. We did not mind if we got stabbed with them because we were, well, zombies. Then a pretty girl in a neglige came down the stairs and...well, moving on...

People didn't like Dazed and Confused? I thought that was a cool movie that reminded me of American Graffiti. I also saw it with a great crowd, which is probably also why I liked Bio-Dome.
Trampus - You didn't like The Matrix, the original Batman, or The Wedding Singer? We cannot be friends. 'Course that just means you won't get to watch me dancing around to the Safety Dance ala Pauly Shore style.

Chestnuts roasted by Stiewalker @ 01/21/2004 12:00 PM EST

I watch a lot of movies, but the hands down worst was the animated flop "The Golden Laws", an anime based off some book by some best-seller. Problem was, the books were on Buddhism. I've got nothing against the religion, but to enjoy or UNDERSTAND the movie, you HAD to be a devout Buddhist. I heard the movie, when we went to see it, had just been shown in Japan a few weeks before, and it was already dubbed in English for the US tour. That's should have tipped me off. The ONLY good thing was the techno music and the animation. I hate Golden Lwas and I hope no one has to see that God is actually King Hermes and Lady Venus. Yes, I mean the Greek Gods.

I once went to a theater where the Star Wars Holiday Special was being shown, but luckily, I'd seen it already and dissuaded my friends from temorary blindness and bleeding ears and steered them to Rocky Horror Picture Show. Best thing I've ever done in MY life.

BTW, Matt #2 was it? I rather enjoyed the The Ring and find it a bit more scary than Ringu. Though the ghost Sadako was 10 times more scary than Samara because of the EYE. Check out tribute ghosts to the Ring ghosts in Fatal Frame 2 (Woman in Box), Mythical Detctive Loki Ragnarok (villain dresses up as Sadako), and Guilty Gear XX (fighter Zappa is possessed by parody of Sadako, called S-ko).

Waterworld. I watched it because it was the college's Saturday night free movie. I should have known something was up when there were only eight people there. The audience diminished very rapidly through the movie until only I was left. I stayed through the whole thing because I was too shell-shocked to leave. Man, that was just one awful movie.

Chestnuts roasted by Eddy @ 01/21/2004 12:24 PM EST

Anything by the director Alan Arkush is horrid. He makes Ed Wood look like Coppola. Arkush brought us such classics as Rock and Roll High School, Deathsport and Caddyshack 2. But nothing compares to Shake Rattle and Rock with Renee Zellwegger. I honestly don't know how she developed a career after this. Mind-blowingly awful awful movie.

Pokemon the first movie: pokemon shouldn't be used to fight? The digimon movie had 1/10 of this joke's animation budget and still had a better payoff!

Good boy: last time i let my siblings choose the movie

Chestnuts roasted by CheapTrick @ 01/21/2004 01:09 PM EST

Argh, now I have to put in my two cents! ^_^

"Small Soldiers" (Too violent for kids, too stupid for adults.)
"Nurse Betty" (What the hell was going on in this thing?)
"Scary Movie" (I dunno, maybe I'm not big on anatomical humor.)

Honorable mention to "Disney's Dinosaur" as my friends and I saw this at a dollar matinee that had, maybe, three other attendees. We had a ball MST-ing that disaster.

Chestnuts roasted by Slacker @ 01/21/2004 01:49 PM EST

The worst movie that I have seen in the theater would have to be "One Magic Christmas." I think Disney made it. It has to be one of the most bleak, boring, and depressing Christmas movies ever made. Poverty, Kidnapping, Death, Bank Robbery, Murder ... just a couple of words to describe this "holiday" movie. What was Disney thinking?

Chestnuts roasted by stat @ 01/21/2004 01:54 PM EST

#3 Oh man... not only did Johnny Mnemonic suck, but to make matters worse, I almost got shot coming out of the theater. Stupid Red-Neck Texans!

#2 Timecop was pretty horrible too, proving once again that no matter how good of a concept you have, if you hire Jean-Claude Van Damme, you're bound to make a shitty movie.

And finally...

#1 Punch Drunk Love. Ok, Billy Madison was funny, and Happy Gilmore was a classic, but Adam Sandler--you just aren't that great of an actor. And with the smallest, stupides set in a movie ever--and with Adam's whiney, nasal voice the whole time... it just made me want to tear the ears off of Roger Ebert for reccomending this tripe. I did, however, manage to bring my girlfriend, so about 25 minutes into the movie we found our way to the back of the theater and... well, let's just say You Oughta Know... but you don't.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Those Austin Powers films are so overhyped and annoying. I wish people would stop saying "oh behave" or any of those other catchphrases.

I haven't seen the third one in the series, and from the first two I don't want to.

Chestnuts roasted by Jenna @ 01/21/2004 03:25 PM EST

I am a Christian and a Southern Baptist, so I feel a little bit of obligation to go see the stuff that they wheel-out in theaters just for me. Sadly, there isn't a lot to choose from when it comes to Christian Savoire' Faire. Worst ever... Hmmm...
Well, it's a tie between "Time Chasers", a movie about someone who travels forward in time 110 years from the 1890's or something, and then spends time wondering where God has gone. Special credit to Captain Steuben from the Love Boat for starring in this as "the wise old professor".

The other half of the tie goes to "Tribulation" starring Gary Busey, Margot Kidder, and Howie Mandell. Ok--I know Jesus will come back some day, but if you're in a coma when it happens... why wouldn't you get taken to heaven? And Hey--this Movie just sucks anyway so maybe it'd just be better if Busey woulda turned the gun on himself... and then joined everyone he loved in heaven--instead of seeking justice for whatever the heck happened to him.

*sigh* I am so frustrated with "Christian Themed" movies. I hope Mel Gibson's Passion lives up to the hype or I'm going to become Lutheran. Then at least I can drink until the movies are better.

I can't believe I forgot about Scary Movie and Tomb Raider, both of which I paid good $$ to see. I'm actually watching Regina Hall from Scary Movies 1-3 on TV right now, and I think being in three movies that bad has sucked all of her IQ away. Seriously, she's like Jessica Simpson on quaaludes.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 01/21/2004 03:45 PM EST

I havne't bothered to look at the other comments because there are so many and i'm posting this at work so i don't have time to read them.

Anyway worst movie I have seen of my own free will at a theatre is Tomb Raider.

While working at a movie theatre i saw enough of Bring it on to scar me for life.

Chestnuts roasted by Bright Noah @ 01/21/2004 04:01 PM EST

Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealers - my mother's friend sent my sister and myself to go watch this movie because she thought we'd like it. We were...so....BORED through this whole damned thing, and were waiting patiently for it to actually DO something interesting, and it never did. My sister fell asleep in the theatre.

Benji The Hunted - another one of those movies that my mother's friend sent us to. It was at this point that I realized she had some sort of secret and awful agenda against us.

feardotcom - my friends and I went to see this. There were the four of us, and a random couple in the theatre. That was it. That should of clued us in right there, but noooo, we stayed put. The only thing that made this movie tolerable was the fact that we started MST3King the thing. The couple joined us in shouting cracks at the screen. Then my friends decided that to make up for feardotcom, we should sneak into Blue Crush. Thank GOD they were talked out of that one - I had to sit through THAT waste of film on the longest airline flight of my LIFE.

Batman and...oh hell, any of the Schumacher atrocities, but Batman and Robin was the only one that had me shrieking in horror at the movie itself and flinging popcorn at the screen.

Chestnuts roasted by Aeire @ 01/21/2004 04:04 PM EST

Lake Placid by far the worst. Betty White was the movie's only saving grace and she didn't add much herself.

Other top contenders include For the Love of the Game, Me, Myself, and Irene, and Anger Management.

Chestnuts roasted by jms @ 01/21/2004 04:23 PM EST

What about George of the Jungle w/ brenden fraiser? Awful awful movie.

I bought One hour photo on Dvd without seeing it and now I can't even give it away. I can't understand how it got such good reviews. It was mind-numblingly boring. I wasted $15 bucks on it. I would have been better off seeing it in the theaters, then I would have only been out $5.

Chestnuts roasted by Stacey @ 01/21/2004 04:29 PM EST

I guess the only movie that Schumacher (thunderclap, horse whinnies) had any involvement in that is actually fun to watch is "Car Wash." I saw a portion of a press video when MST3K did a Oscar preview special that had Schumacher (thunderclap, horse whinnies) talking to Silverstone. EEEWWWW! It sounded like 12-year-olds at a slumber party! He had the nerve to express confusion at Bob Kane's questioning the nipples in the Bat-Suit. DAMN YOU, SCHUMACHER!!!! (THUNDERCLAP, HORSE WHINNIES)

Worst...Film...Ever...

has to be The Avengers. It was a movie that scarred my soul. I can normally suspend my disbelief fairly well and have enjoyed a great many movies that others find horrible, but The Avengers was my limit.

Chestnuts roasted by Umpqua @ 01/21/2004 04:48 PM EST

Dante's peak, ugh I just remembered that, simply the most horrible movie ever, even worse than the underground comedy movie.

even talking about it would make me remember the horror

Chestnuts roasted by Chris @ 01/21/2004 05:27 PM EST

Oh no, no, no. I was I, with the fourth or fifth overall post, that first mentioned Tomcats ;) Anyways, I agree about the Underground Comedy Movie.

My friend and I bought it on DVD a few weeks after Christmas this past year. I was really anticipating something great since the previews made this out to be the funniest thing of all time. Well, you see, my friend has an anger management problem. After losing a few games in Madden 2004 over the summer, he went out and smashed the controller off the road and then ran it over with his car. Well, right around the Homeless Beauty Queen part in Underground, he calmly took the DVD out of the Playstation and then stabbed it over and over again with a pocket knife. He then, you guessed it, took it outside and laid waste to it with his car.

Good times :)

Chestnuts roasted by NateAlbright @ 01/21/2004 05:39 PM EST

worst films...hmm..

--have seen dungeons and dragons-major brain anunerism
--most of the films w/ freddie prince jr. (boys and girls -- ex) -- they all have the same plot damnit! (execpt scooby doo -- but that film should be avoided by all means), in fact the majority of the teen flicks i have seen have been bad (peer pressure sucks)
--the newer version of "time machine" (i was extremely pumped to see this film and it completely blew chucks)

not all sandra bullock films are bad, she gets placed in bad films (ie: Speed 2 which i saw twenty times for some reason...)

Chestnuts roasted by happybunnydemon @ 01/21/2004 05:55 PM EST

You guys are all just in denial. Pauly Shore was awesome. As was the Mario movie. Love that thing. SO stupid, yet so awesome at the same time. I mean, did anyone REALLY expect them to do a direct translation of the game? Nah. This was just the silly Hollywood version, and, for what it's worth, it was okay. I guess. I had forgotten I'd seen that in theaters until now. So proud.

But still. Kart Racer. Terrible. Has anyone even heard of this movie besides me? Randy Quaid and some idiot kid in a heartfelt movie about go-kart racing. I wanted to die while watching it, but I was at a press screening, so I wasn't allowed to leave. *sigh* The soundtrack consists of the same song over and over, and the plot is ridiculously clichéd and stupid. I bet you can guess what it's about right now. Oh, and there's a completely inexplicable love story amongst 13 year olds. Stupid all-around.

Oh, and to be a little recent, if I may, my friend tells me The Butterfly Effect is pretty good. I don't believe him, because it's an Ashton Kutcher movie, but apparently it is. I think they light dogs on fire in it or something. Sounds weird. I guess Ethan Suplee must save the day and make it cool. I mean, the dude was in Boy Meets World. That's awesome. Hey, and wasn't Rider Strong in some movie about camping or something recently? I was sad that I never saw it.

Chestnuts roasted by Evin @ 01/21/2004 07:01 PM EST

Man, I saw Masters of the Universe, Super Mario Bros., and all three Ninja Turtles films in the theatres and I loved them all...exept for Nina Turtles 3. That suffered from a severe case of "What the Fuck." I mean, the turtles go back in time, April goes back in time, but Casey Jones just looks like he went back in time but really didn't. You see, it's just a guy that looks like Casey Jones but is not Casey Jones, he's a thief that's imprisoned for stealing, I'm guessing, a Jose Canseco bat.

Anyways, the real worst movies that I paid to see in the theatres are: In the Army Now AND Jury Duty AND (worst of all) Little Giants...with Rick Moranis...and Ed O'Neill...and a kid who blows snot bubbles.

Chestnuts roasted by D-d-dave-some @ 01/21/2004 07:14 PM EST

Here's ya a stupid movie -

National Lampoon's Last Resort. The title is fitting as it was a straight to video movie for everyone's favorite dynamic duo - Corey Haim and Corey feldman. The story was wonderfully stupid and the props were awful - you have to see them under the ocean. ACK!!

Another National Lampoon's movie that horrible was Senior Trip. A fat kid farts and blows out the Hoover flame at Arlington. Why not JFK's flame? Because they didn't deserve to see it. Eh, well, at least the kid who ws the main guy in it went on to star in Dahmer, another stupid movie.

Chestnuts roasted by Planet Garp @ 01/21/2004 07:23 PM EST

Speaking of National Lampoon - I may be one of the few people who saw the recent film Dorm Daze. I wasn't it bad, but appearently it bad about $30,000 during its (very) brief run.

There are only two movies I've wanted to walk out of.

1990 Robin Williams' film Cadillac Man, I don't remember why it was so bad I know I hated it.

Batman and Robin also made we want to walk out (and take a staple gun to my genitals) but I stayed to the end. Melt the ice with satelliets? God, it still hurts.

I've also paid to see Battlefield Earth, Godzilla 2000, and Supernova.

On the line. N sync movie, enough said.

Chestnuts roasted by Ally @ 01/21/2004 08:03 PM EST

Oh, I forgot a few

Vegas Vacation was just terrible. I like Randy Quaid in Chirstmas Vacation, but they over used him. The only funny part was (as moronic as it is) was the Hoover Dam tour guide - "Welcome to the Dam tour, I'll be your Dam guide)

Mission to Mars could have been a classic sci-fi film, but it failed to deliver on all points (which was a shame considering the solid cast) the worst was the overly-partiotic music that blared through the entire film.

Dunegons and Dragons - The creator waited 20 years to make the movie, you'd think you could write a good script in that time but I guess not.

A.I. -This was infuriating, it wavered from horrible to fantastic about dozen time. Could have been so much more.

We Were Soilders - Pure propaganda. When American soilder gets shot, we get slow-mo with plenty of gore. The VietCong falls like rag dolls with narry a drop of blood.

Chestnuts roasted by Emperor_Zorak @ 01/21/2004 08:04 PM EST

I guess I have more to say after all.

First of all as many have said already Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey friggin rocks! They play Twister and Battleship with death. DEATH! The hilarity in that phrase I can’t even begin to explain.

Other movies I liked:
Batteries not included
Return to Oz
Karate Kid 3
Lost in Space
Wedding Singer

And for crying out loud Surf Ninjas. Whoever said that I can never talk to again. That is my favorite cheer me up movie.

Now for ones I hate as well
Star wars 2
What women want
Americas sweethearts
And MIB 2

Chestnuts roasted by Ally @ 01/21/2004 08:48 PM EST

Oh, and a friend of a friend of mine was the lead kid in Small Soldiers. Small world. No pun intended.

Chestnuts roasted by Evin @ 01/21/2004 09:23 PM EST

Ahh, shit, I forgot "Batman and Robin," too. My youngest sister and I went to see that in the theater. We walked out and basically exchanged looks that screamed "What the HELL did we just see?"

I also wasn't impressed by "What Women Want," which I thought was just plain stupid, although I had enough sense to see that one by myself.

The plot made no sense, and Harrison Ford got hit in head with a boom mic. While that was funny, it kinda took me out of the "magic."

I also remember this one because it was the first movie where I caught a dirty word. I was in awe then; now, I really wish that movie was Transformers: The Movie...

Holy HELL. I just got finished reading each and every last one of these comments. Shows how much of a life I have. Off the top of my head, in no particular order, here's my incomplete list:

Worst movies:
-Any Jurassic Park sequel
-Any Star Wars prequel
-Godzilla
-A.I.
-Small Soldiers(that one comment took the words right out of my mouth...I remember being the target audience at the time of its release, and it was way too damned violent)
-Blair Witch
-Spice World

Best Movies:
-Boondock Saints
-Forrest Gump
-What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

I know, I haven't added very much. But I've tried to stay away from bad movies. In the end, I'm left with this. Gah.

Also, if you want crappy movies, my local Wal-mart has a $5.88 bin for DVDs. I don't know how many other Wal-marts features this, but the worst of the worst can be dug out of there.

Jury Duty-had to sit through it at a drive ni to see Dumb and Dumber

Battlefield Earth-saw it 2 hours before my best friend...didn't get to warn him in time...some friend I am!

Distinguished Gentleman-Don't remember a single scene. Toatally unfunny. Just went to get up a chix shirt from high school.

Flinstones-Left with 45 mins left in the film! Rosey O'Donnell? Give me an f'n break!

I'm sure there's more, but I hope I've blocked them out....

In a theatre: Mercury Rising, they would have been better off with writers who were actually autistic, instead of a bunch of idiots who saw Rain Man ten years ago and considered that research (only saving grace was the theatre allowed smoking on the balcony which was a nice novelty).

Of All Time (or that i can think of now): Say It Isn't So, I've never seen a movie with so many dead jokes and just totally unfunny moments.

Recent worst film has to be Dreamcatcher. I saw it in Dublin and the Chinese guys answering their cellphones in the theater made more sense than this movie.

How could you not like Milo and Otis? I loved that movie. I still get caught up in it if I happen to flip to it on TV.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 01/22/2004 08:36 AM EST

Just thought of a few more...

Demolition Man: okay to watch on cable or whatever, but seeing it in theaters was a terrible idea. Origami?

I saw No Holds Barred in the theaters, too. I was the right age, so I loved it. As you'll see in a review this month, it's still one of the worst movies ever made.

I'm going to give J-P III a pass, because if you're gonna see a movie about dinosaurs, it might as well be on the big screen. No matter how stupid it was.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 01/22/2004 08:41 AM EST

OK, I don't have time to read everything... And I'm kind of wondering if there's any one movie that everyone can agree either totally sucks or totally rules.

Anyway, it's all gonna come down to the fact that my opinion is the one that reigns supreme, so without further ado:

No Holds Barred: My dad took me to see this and was pretty pissed. He wanted to leave after 10 minutes, but I refused in hope that the Ultimate Warrior was gonna show up. I think I was actually testing the waters with how far I could push my dad though. He was a body builder and was buffer than Hogan anyway, so I think I felt a mental victory when I stayed in the theater. The movie sucked though.

Armageddon: fucking crusty shit-balls excuse for a movie. I think Bruce Willis is one of the most under-rated actors of our time. Even in his shit movies, he's actually pretty good. But I stand by the statement that there is not one redeeming factor about this movie.

Also, this is going back to the beginning of this thread, but Matt #2 is right on about the Ring. Chad is wrong. The original is better. The thing most people who try to compare them don't realize is that the Japanese version is a suspense movie, and the American version is a horror movie.

I could talk about this shit for hours.

Chestnuts roasted by Chopstick Sensei @ 01/22/2004 08:44 AM EST

Matt, how did you respond to my thread 3 minutes before I posted it? That's fucking amazing. When I was a webmaster I couldn't do that.
