Got the idea from my friend who was getting rid of old movies on VHS, then the discussions of 'That movie sucked!' or 'I blew how much money on that film!'


Here's the my shitlist:


Battlefield Earth

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

Batman and Robin

Jaws: The Revenge

Mars Attacks

Celtic Pride

House of the Dead

Cool as Ice

Daddy Day Camp


And the one that's out right now with those chihuahuas!

Leprechaun in the hood is by far the worst film i have ever watched. I haven't managed to watch it all as it's that bad.

hehe I liked Mars Attacks, too. I love Tim Burton... but speaking of Tim Burton, I think Planet of the Apes qualifies for the shitlist.


And Leprechaun In The Hood was insanely bad!! And I couldn't even finish watching Battlefield Earth. Pearl Harbor sucked so terribly, that whenever I hear about that film I think of the Pearl Harbor Sucks song from Team America.


Here's some more for the pile:


Romeo + Juliet (we had the misfortune of seeing this in the theater and sitting directly in front of the Leonardo DiCaprio fanclub - when the choir broke out singing When Doves Cry, we split)


Dracula 2000 (another unfortunate cinema outing complete with young couple next to us giving each other foot massages)


Alien vs. Predator


Requiem For A Dream (a cinematic sequence of overblown events trying way to hard to portray a series of messages - really, this film requires far too much explanation from me as to why I thought it was a piece of crap)


Eyes Wide Shut (ass wide open)


Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire (a bastardization of an otherwise enjoyable book in the series)


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ("aliens don't belong in Indiana Jones!!!")


Thin Red Line (twice rented, and twice we couldn't get through it)


Jurassic Park 2 & 3 (no comment needed)


Vertical Limit (the first 10 minutes are the only part worth watching. Really - most ridiculous and laughable death scene ever)


Star Wars: Phantom Menace (phantom anus, biggest let down of the millenium)


Snakes on a Plane (only a tray of pot brownies beforehand can save this film)


Alien 4 (Ripley... why?????)


Crash (the Croenenburg film, not the academy award winning one even though I didn't think it was 'all that' either)


6th Day (the talking girl bot doll literally scared the crap out of me and not in a good way)


Butterfly (because I had to witness how bad Mariah Carey was for myself)


Honorable Mention goes to the Thomas The Tank Engine movie (because every parent will eventually be forced to sit through a horrible kids' film or 2 or 3 or...)


I know there's more...

You know, the first screening of Requiem For A Dream had Believe and The Boxer in it...

Anyway, I don't know about the WORST movie, but this one is undoubtedly the best:

"We Must Kill Him... Kill Him."

Ooh, inchemwetrust gets 5 points for coming up with a good thread topic we haven't thought of yet!


@Champiness: What do you mean the first screening of Requiem for a Dream had the Boxer & Believe in it? Are you on crack?


@Whirly: Requiem for a Dream wasn't crap. This thread deserves an entirely separate thread debating what it means for a movie to be considered bad, but for now I'll just lay down the fact that Requiem for a Dream had some intense and well-acted roles from talented actors and actresses, innovative editing, a score so good it has been used in a number of other movies and previews, and such a stunning ability to reach into the depravity and hopelessness of human existence that it impresses its cinematic experience onto the viewer in a way which is nearly tangible, an emotional reaction so intense that it is felt by your physical body.


Alien v. Predator was the best kind of bad. It was so bad it was AWESOME!


Bad movies for me off the top of my head, which I'll add to later:


How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days --

My ex-girlfriend forced me to sit through this one, and it was one of the most painful experiences I can recall. To this I'll add The Wedding Planner as another horrible, horrible movie for the same reason that it was a lamely written piece of trash that deserves nothing other than contempt.


Alien v. Predator: Requiem --

(FANBOY WARNING) I can't believe my very, very small expectation for this film wasn't reached: that it would be another chance to see Aliens and Predators battle it out in an absolute dorkfest. But no, the action scenes between the Aliens and Predators were shot so poorly that you couldn't even tell what was happening. The canon of the Aliens series was raped with a careless cock and lazy writing, and there was no self-awareness in the fact that it was a bad, bad movie.


Aliens 4 --

The Aliens fanboy inside of me died a little the day I saw this movie.


21 --

I literally fast forwarded through about twenty minutes in the middle of the movie to see how the filmmakers wrapped it up. I just didn't care. The characters were unbelievable, the writing was horribly contrived, and the editing was about as effective as the commercials for the products they were selling. It felt like I was watching a very expensive, two hour ad for Vegas.


The Oh in Ohio --

Parker Posey may have acted her way through other roles, but much like her characters' quest for orgasm, her failure ends up being just as great. Also, the writing is pointless. You actually get exhausted traveling with them in their journey for a joke or two, the sequence of events in the characters' lives are trivial, and in the end you end up feeling like you just sat through some awkward relative's sad story about how they ended up with their lame excuse for a husband.


Epic Movie--

Epic Fail


Southland Tales--

I'll admit, I had expectations for this one. Richard Kelly blew us all away when he skillfully guided the creation that is Donnie Darko, but in Southland Tales it's much more difficult to find the film's strengths than it is to point out the blatant fuck-ups that should have eluded the creative process. The montages of mixed media filling in the bits of history in this alternate future don't work; the casting is a joke that nobody gets; there are too many tones in the film, and in the end it seems like instead of doing one thing really well, the film tries to do twenty different things shittily, making for an incredibly awkward and painful viewing experience.


More later if I'm inspired. :)

haha - I knew putting Requiem for a Dream on my list would stir up some rebuttals. :P


It really wasn't the shittiest movie of all time, but it just bugged me. The acting was good, cinematography was good, soundtrack was good - had all the good makings of a good film. But to me... I guess the story felt so contrived and 'worse case scenario' for it to be believable or more importantly, have any sympathy for the characters.


PS - Epic Movie was horrific. Why does the film industry keep allowing these craptastic movie spoofs? Do they really pull in any money at the box office?

Ah, fair enough--I can see how you might find the construction of stories a bit off-putting. Though, it was an adaptation of Hubert Selby, Jr.'s novel.

They make some sort of a profit since it doesn't take much for them to make the movies and there is some sort of an audience. It really is sad.

After reading everybody's post:


Alien vs. Predator: I admit the first half was going great, right until that scene where that women befriended the predator! then it was a roller coaster to hell. Cheesey!


Star Wars: Phantom Menace

my expectations were flattented with a weak script and a boring lecture of 'midiclorians'! And what a waste of a CGI character! Nacho Cheesey!


Alien 4: Tried to hard! Who's idea was it to put 'cloning' in the movie. And to think Peter Jackson was given the chance to make this movie! Velvetta Cheesey!


Halloween 3! the black sheep of the 'ween' movies.

If you have all the movies, give this one to a kid who knocks on your door on Halloween night! I like the part where the bugs come out of that kids mask when he's watching that commercial. Kraft singles Cheesey!


I'm just getting started!

Ah yes - there's a lot of cheese you left out such as brie, camembert, and don't forget the fragrantly pungent feta family!


Mmm. Ripe!

Just about every movie Madonna has had a hand in has been terrible. Shanghai Surprise, Swept Away. Evita to name a few. Eyuck.


Uwe Boll makes some craptastic films.


Oh, and to edit my post talking about Mariah Carey - the movie was Glitter (not Butterfly). I guess it was so bad I couldn't be bothered to remember the title correctly. :P


Hey - Showgirls was an awesomely bad flick!


Rollerball 2002 was hiliariously bad.


I also thought Apocalypto was really bad.


Reefer Madness the Musical (yeah, some numb nuts made a musical) was barely watchable but it's my own damn fault because I rented it.

Man, I love The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. I can see why people dont like it though. It's basically a unfinished film (way over budget).

I love the surreal quirkiness of Terry Gilliam and I liked Advertures of Baron Munchausen as well. It's just a weird film - visually weird and whimsical, as is the story.


I like wierd and quirky and Tim Burton's & the Willy Wonka merger seemed better on paper than it was on film. I mean - I thought it was entertaining, and visually Tim Burton almost always does a fabulous job of creating cinemtatic visual feasts. Though maybe biased as I dig Tim Burton, I had no pretenses going into the film - I just wanted to be entertained. And the "oh-my-god-the-original-is-best" controversy didn't play into this all that much because I wasn't too fond of the original Willy Wonka film anyhow. But I did enjoy the book as a kid in a "karma is a bitch" schadenfreude sort of way (all those snotty brats in the book get their comeuppance). But at the same time, the story is creepy, the premise is creepy, and dammit - Willy Wonka is plain ol' creepy in a weird pedophile way that you don't realize til many years later on when you're an adult... And so imh the story of Willy Wonka works better on paper than on film.


Speaking of creepy. Anyone ever see the film from 1998 Happiness? Don't know if it qualifies as shitty (it was actually very good) but it makes you feel shitty after watching it. Seriously after watching this, I needed to watch Comedy Central for 30 minutes then take a hot shower to cleanse the Happiness from my body and soul.

this thread could span to 1,000,000 pages, and that's just from bad film from this year!


I have the official worst film ever made, but I haven't had the balls to watch it. It's called Santa Claus Conquers the Martians...haha


but here's my quicklist:


War of the Worlds (remake)

Cloverfield (fuck off)

Superman Returns (shoulder pressing a Kryptonite island?!)

Batman & Robin (I thought Arnie could bring this up in my estimations, but no)

Cum Guzzlers 2 (just to much semen in this one)

Threads like this is why there is a little show called Mystery Science Theatre 3000. It may be bad, but it can be made good if you make fun of it. Me and my mate did that for Ghost rider. We sat upfront trashing it the whole time wen it came out.
