Worst movie you have ever seen.

[Taltarzac725]

Someone mentioned that I should do a poll on the Top Ten Worst US released movies. There have been so many of these over the years. Gigli certainly comes to mind as does Showgirls and any number of Uwe Boll movies. Also Battlefield Earth. I would have a hard time getting a list up because of how differently some peope would view bad movies. Something considering awful by one person might be a movie so bad it is very good.

[OldDave]

Hmm, really good question. I am thinking of movies I've walked out of:

Reds - Long and boring

Pay it Forward - You make a cute little boy a hero in a feel good story and kill him!!!!

And virtually anything with Sylvester Stallone.


I looked at a couple of lists on line of "bad movies". To my mind most of them were things like Ed Wood movies, or really cheesy sci-fi movies. Thing is, when something is that bad you kind of have to watch it, kind of like a car wreck.

[Love2cruise]

The pianist......

[chuckinca]

How bout Midnight Cowboy

.

[skyguy79]

This is not the worse movie, but my worse experience with a movie.

I was on a commercial flight from NY to FL back in the '70 and before boarding I was looking forward to putting on the ear piece and watching a movie to kill some time. When the movie started I sank in my seat. They were playing Mel Brooks Silent Movie. Not only were the ear piece useless but just my luck that I was seated back far enough that I couldn't read the captions on the screen! Loved the flight but hated the movie experience!

Gotta go with The Exorcist...

Probably seen half of these. Some of them at Villages theaters too. At least, the ones that came out after the Summer of 2005. Uwe Boll has a lot of entries as Director.

[2BNTV]

Mine was Chicago as I fell asleep.

I guess Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellwegger weren't pretty enough. :boom:

At least they each other to talk to. :1rotfl:

Seriously, I can't think of a particular movie as I am not a regular movie goer.

[janmcn]

I have to nominate this one that's just coming out this week-end..."A Shot to the Head" with Sylvester Stallone. Talk about your bad timing.

Children of the Corn.

Syriana

My wife and I went with some friends and after the movie was over we all walked out, looked at each other and said "What was that all about?"

[CFrance]

The pianist......

That was one creepy movie. One nasty winter my boss at the time suggested I rent this "fabulous" movie and curl up in front of the fire and hybernate. I did. I had previously thought her pretty darn weird, but this proved it.

Or else she had it out for me and wanted to ruin my weekend.

Other than that, I hated that movie with the "pod" people floating around in a swimming pool. Can't remember the name, but it was out about the time ET was. The kids loved it, so I had to sit through it.

The Piano was very strange. The Pianist was quite good. It is the one about the Nazi collaborator. The Piano is the Harvey Keitl movie where he falls in love with a preteen.

Actually, it was the mother who played mute that Keitel character fell in love with in The Piano. It was a rather odd movie.

[Taltarzac725]

The Watch with Ben Stiller.

Have not seen that one but it sounds really bad.

[Taltarzac725]

The American.....with George Clooney!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!

Solaris is the worst movie I found associated with George Clooney. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/george_clooney/ It made a little more sense after watching the Russian movie of the same name. You needed Cliff Notes to understand the Clooney version though. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/solaris/

Yes, another vote for Dances with Wolves. The guy I went with fell asleep and was snoring within a few minutes, he woke about 2 hours into it and said "Oh, this is an Indian movie!".

[Taltarzac725]

That's really funny, Patty55. Kind of like calling Slumdog Millionaire a game show movie.

Of the Oscar winners for Best Picture over the past 25 years or so, I was not that impressed with Shakespeare in Love. The actors seem to have the most votes with respect to which films get the Academy Awards in certain categories, so they must have really liked Shakespeare in Love.

[2newyorkers]

George Clooney movie... Man Who Stared at Goats.

Suppose it is because he is talented, handsome, articulate and does not take his celebrity that seriously except for when fighting for causes he believes in like stopping the violence in Darfur.

I remember seeint The American with George Clooney while in TV. The movie was barely comprehenable. Definitely makes the list of not worth seeing although I didn't walk out.

[Taltarzac725]

I did not like The American that much either. None of his movies though would I say were among the worst I have seen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clooney

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

On Any Given Sunday was pretty awful. I'm surprised that Al Pacino would have anything to do with something like that. I think it may be the only movies I ever walked out on. I couldn't take all the camera shaking during the football scenes. I've been on an NFL football field and it doesn't shake like that.

[mitchbr47]

Clockwork Orange is #1 on my list. Seven Psychopaths is up there too.

[Taltarzac725]

Clockwork Orange is #1 on my list. Seven Psychopaths is up there too.

Seven Psychopaths had me scratching my head. Seemed to be a darling among the critics but not so much with the audiences.

I remember one of my bosses in a company that provided food services to Bowers Mansion Park in Washoe Valley, Idlewild Softball diamonds in Reno, Nevada; and a ski lodge that trained young kids in how to ski on Slide Mountain loved talking about A Clockwork Orange .

He disappeared on me for a while as I liked keeping up with the addresses of former employers. I had tried to call his former partner when I was in Reno, NV in 1989 for the Law Librarian convention. It turned out he had became a Warden in one of the State of Nevada prisons. I just hope he did not take A Clockwork Orange too much to heart.

No Mercy with Richard Geer came out in 1986. Filmed supposedly in New Orleans, had Richard and a lady hiding in the alligator infested water in the dark. After squinting for over 30 mins, trying to see (and bored out of my mind), I walked out.

Never did that before.

Kind of liked that one just because the leading lady--Kim Basinger-- was quite attractive in that role.

One movie even though extremely well written, acted, and with great cinematogaphy, I did not much care for was No Country for Old Men. Just too bleak a portrayal of life for me. An even worse one along the same lines was Killer Joe with Matthew McConaughey playing a detective/hit man/pervert.

No sure if I would say I loved No Country for Old Men. I have seen it a number of times because of the quality of the acting, writing, camerawork. It is one Academy Award winner for Best Picture I did not really want to buy. Same with The Artist.

I have a lot of the Oscar winners for Best Picture on DVD. http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/legacy/best-pictures.html

"Unknown", with Liam Neeson, should have been called "Absurd".

For all of its awards and acclaim, I found Sophies Choice to be dreadful. I started to fall asleep but kept waking myself up, thinking that it would get better. When I finally realized that it wouldn't get any better, I could no longer make myself go to sleep.

That's a movie for which you need an audience. It's quite boring without one. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is quite fun if you are there with a bunch of people who throw things at the screen as well as talk along with it. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/rocky_horror_picture_show/

I am agreeing with some of these, but come on guys, if we are in the Villages, what could be worse than Caddyshack II?

[Heartnsoul]

Jack and Jill and Pulp Fiction come to mind. walked out on both.

Suppose it is because he is talented, handsome, articulate and does not take his celebrity that seriously except for when fighting for causes he believes in like stopping the violence in Darfur.

[ladydoc]

A Boy and His Dog...with Don Johnson

[joannej]

I hated this movie, but apparently others have really like it.

[Polar Bear]

Ishtar for me.

And I'm surprised to see Pulp Fiction on the list; a bit brutal, yes...but one of my favorites.

[Polar Bear]

Beetlejuice. Nothing else I've seen comes close.

Michael Keaton's "are you qualified" speech alone keeps that movie off my worst movie list. Simply hilarious.

[Yung Dum]

My vote has to go to "grownups". It seemed it would be hysterical with the great cast of comedic actors, but never produced even a chuckle from me.

[Yung Dum]

Plan 9 from outer space

Now, that's a classic. So bad it's good.

[Pepperhead]

Any movie with Robin Williams

My wife would say Bad Santa

Agree with Robin Williams too. However, last night I watched "This is The End".....$100 million in box office for that foul mouthed film??

[mgjim]

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. Don't know how I missed it the first time around.

My vote for the worst movie ever goes to "In the Army Now" with Pauly Shore.

My kids made me sit through it...I grounded them for two weeks.

[redwitch]

Waterworld with Kevin Costner and Barry Lyndon -- had to be the two most boring movies ever made. Made Ishtar look good. For newer films, Gravity is going to be high on my list. Five minutes would have taken care of the whole film. The shots of earth got old quickly.

[Shirleevee]

Waterworld with Kevin Costner and Barry Lyndon -- had to be the two most boring movies ever made. Made Ishtar look good. For newer films, Gravity is going to be high on my list. Five minutes would have taken care of the whole film. The shots of earth got old quickly.

The American with George Clooney!

We were vacationing on the Big Island while Waterworld was being shot off the Kona coast. You could see the set from the beach. We were so excited to see the movie when it came out. Bleeech! Horrible!

Eraserhead. The worst movie ever made. You can still rent it on netflix.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

Well,I'm sure that someone enamored with the Lakota people and their language would have thought that it was wonderful and it probably might have been a pretty decent movie if they didn't bore you to death for much of the movie. Like I said, scene after scene after scene of buffalo walking. I fell asleep several times.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I am agreeing with some of these, but come on guys, if we are in the Villages, what could be worse than Caddyshack II?

Especially when compared to Caddyshack. should certainly win the worst sequel award.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

My vote has to go to "grownups". It seemed it would be hysterical with the great cast of comedic actors, but never produced even a chuckle from me.

Yes, that was horrible. I went to see it because it was shot in the town in which my brother and sister live. Major disappointment. Really childish attempts at humor. It just wasn't funny.

[sandybill2]

Any movie with Robin Williams

My wife would say Bad Santa

I agree with your wife--Bad Santa certainly gets my vote.

[jblum315]

Gravity was a big disappointment and I had really been looking forward to seeing it. Glad it was only 90 minutes - 20 minutes would have been enough.

[jhrc4]

Any and ALL John Wayne War movies. why?? Check his bio then check.. Audi Murphy, Cliff Robertson's, Clark Gable, Ted Williams, and many others to see why.

[jebartle]

Ugh!....Half the theater emptied....

[billethkid]

World War Z
Almost any George Clooney movie
Almost any of Bruce Willis' recent "cameo" crap movies
Mcconnahy's (sp?) bottom of the barrel recents
The Obama movie
and way too many more.....

There are fewer movies that rate even just an OK compared to the amount of trash being produced.
Another area where we have allowed the standards of decency to be completely oblitererated. An unfortunate sign/indicator of how far our moral standards have been allowed to degenerate.

btk

[ilovetv]

Seven with Brad Pitt. Well made production, and intriguing plot, but just plain too repulsive and grizzly scenes.

[patfla06]

Any George Clooney or Nicholas Cage movie.

[Trish Crocker]

The Grey with Liam Neeson. I expected so much more of him but the whole movie was just stupid.

[justjim]

American Beauty (1999) won Academy Award for Best Picture. Both wife and I thought it was awful.

[Yung Dum]

Eraserhead. The worst movie ever made. You can still rent it on netflix.

Eraserhead was the weirdest movie I ever saw. So strange I don't even know if I liked it or not, but I find myself watching it evry time it comes on tv.

I don't remember any Kevin Costner movies on the list. I really liked Open Range and Silverado.

[JP]

The sequel to My Left Foot....My Right Foot.

[kittygilchrist]

I saw Galaxy 3D today. the 3D space scenes were imaginative and visually watchable only in 3D. Clooney does a more or less cameo of a cardboard hero in a spacesuit (think Buzz Lightyear.) Bullock makes endless noises of heavy breathing and grunts meant to sound like she is desperately on her last breath, and manages to sound like a porn soundtrack. The plot, what plot? Bullock surmounts insurmountable survival challenges as an astronaut with 6 months experience on a spacewalk/repair mission gone awry--a plot that will confound any viewer hoping for a shred of credibility. btw there's nobody in the film but George in cameo and Bullock panting.

I haven't seen very many of these...what a bunch of stinkers.

Just goes to show that sequels and remakes generally aren't very good.

[John_W]

Any George Clooney or Nicholas Cage movie.
I agree that recently Nicholas Cage has taken the money and run route with his movie choices. I heard he loves real estate and has bought houses and property all over the world, which has effected his movie choices. However, his film 'Raising Arizona' is one of my all time favorite comedies, I actually saw it twice in the theater when it was released. It was made by the Coen Bros and has John Goodman in it, which all helps. I liked his first 'National Treasure' movie, also his film 'Red Rock West' was really good and a bit strange, but you're right, for the most part his movies are mediocre.

George Clooney on the otherhand, I've really liked a lot of his films. Just saw 'Gravity' in 3D and I thought it was terrific. 'Up in the Air' was a really great film along with 'Michael Clayton', 'The Ides of March', 'The Decedents', and 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' There are a few others that I enjoyed but were less than great and only a couple of his films that I was disappointed with. So I would have to disagree about him.

I've have about 2200 movies rated on IMDB, so the list for worse films for me is in the range of a hundred or so films that I had given a 1 or 2 rating. However, when I bought the DVD for 'American Graffiti', which I really loved, I didn't realize they made a sequel in 1979 that came as a bonus. That film was utterly terrible, so that is a movie I didn't anticipate being so bad. I could list many more films, but they would be ones you've never heard of, or with actors who were nobodies. So it's really hard to say the worse film when there are so many to choose from.

[Polar Bear]

Yeah, most of the movies on that list seem to be of the never-heard-of variety. How about the big-name-big-budget movies.

Ishtar comes to mind...a Dustin Hoffman/Warren Beaty stinker. :^)

How bout Midnight Cowboy

.

Midnight Cowboy is one of the best pictures ever!

[royr]

Gotta go with The Exorcist...

Are you sure you mean "worst"? It is my favorite horror film!

[LI SNOWBIRD]

Dances with Wolves. How many scenes of buffalo roaming the plains can they fit into a three hour movie that should have been cut to about 75 minutes.

And I thought that I was the only one who hated it. I was watching it on a rented tape with my kids who were 10 or 12 at the time and I started a rubber band fight to stave off boredom
:coolsmiley:

[Golfingnut]

Game change.

[LI SNOWBIRD]

Foe me it was :Men Who Stare at Goats" with Mr. Clooney.
I usually like bad moves directed by Alan Smythee and Ed Wood pictures.

Black Swan. It won a bunch of awards as I recall - most depressing couple hours I have ever spent

[Cedwards38]

The Legend of Boggy Creek. I still want my money back.

[juneroses]

"Grand Canyon".

My nephew was in marketing and called to say he had tickets to a movie premiere that night and couldn't go. Would Uncle and I be interested. "Sure".

The theater is packed. We have good seats and are feeling quite privileged to be among this select crowd. The movie rolls. We sit there attentively watching. Finally, my husband leans over to whisper "what the h*** is happening?" I don't know either but I assure him that it will soon all come together and make sense.

I conjecture that perhaps we in the audience are part of a psychological experiment. We're being tested to see how long we'll sit and watch "nothing". Finally I can be noble no more and whisper "let's leave".

Now my husband takes the upper road and say's "we can't, Billy gave us the tickets". I settle back resigned to last until the credits roll (will anyone actually take credit for it?).

But…I'm saved. Hubby waves the white flag and whispers those words I've longed to hear…"c'mom, let's leave".

[stroglass]

Can not remember the name but my daughter rented it. it was a horror film and the only thing I remember is they keep calling everyone "Queer Bait" it was so bad we never finished watching it

The Blair Witch Project

My taste in movies must be different from a lot of folks. Here are some of the movies listed on this thread by a bunch of posters as the worst.....but they would make my top 100 list:
2001 A Space Odyssey
Gravity
My Left Foot

The American.....with George Clooney!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!

I was trying to remember the name of it....my all time worst as well.

[saratogaman]

Anchorman 2...pathetic...walked out after 20 minutes...never did that before.

[Jayhawk]

Foe me it was :Men Who Stare at Goats" with Mr. Clooney.
I usually like bad moves directed by Alan Smythee and Ed Wood pictures.

All Alan Smythee movies are bad ones. He is not a real person. It is a name used by directors who don't want their real name attached to a crummy movie :)

[Number 6]

IF someone already mentioned it, I agree! Nothing worse than this one;
Caddy Shack 2! Must be something about sequels.

[jblum315]

My taste in movies must be different from a lot of folks. Here are some of the movies listed on this thread by a bunch of posters as the worst.....but they would make my top 100 list:
2001 A Space Odyssey
Gravity
My Left Foot
Star Wars
The Exorcist
Dances with Wolves
Clockwork Orange
Braveheart
No Country for Old Men
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Midnight Cowboy.

I agree with all your choices except Braveheart. Just didn't like it.

[jhrc4]

All John Wayne " War Movies " why ? For a guy who was never in the military , portrayed himself as some kind of war Hero is disgusting. To this day he is considered an American Hero . The guy was declared 4F from a high school football injury, then later declared fit for duty, married wife had child, went well down on the draft list.
Bronze Statue of John Wayne at Fort Benning, Ga... and Audi Murphy... ? Nothing

[elizabeth52]

Another vote for A Clockwork Orange. Hated it!

[BS Beef]

The sequel to My Left Foot....My Right Foot.

Ok JP that's pretty darn funny. :1rotfl:

I'm going to have to say I walked out on Chariots of Fire. Of course the critics loved it. I want to see American Beauty again. I went in thinking it was going to be a main stream movie ala Pretty Woman. We left at the end thinking what in the heck was that :shocked: :shocked:

[BS Beef]

Sorry just saw it when I hit "submit" I walked out on "Clockwork Orange" too. Guess I'm not bright enough didn't get it either. And honestly I like some really obscure movies but this was just plain awful.

For example. Dr. Winston I'm sure you've scene it but you have to watch "This is Spinal Tap" and from the same group of people another obscure movie is "Waiting for Guffman".

[Happinow]

Has to be "Elf." The only movie I ever walked out of.

Oh my goodness. Elf is a must see for me and my family at least twice during the holiday season. It was cute and funny. Sorry you didn't appreciate it.

The same ensemble did three others even better than those; A mighty wind; For Your Consideration; and the all time best "Best of Show".

[Yung Dum]

"Horrors Of The Red Planet" is so bad it's not even a "B" movie. Makes "Plan 9 From Outer Space" look like a classic (which, in it's own way, is). It's cheap, boring and loaded with bad acting. As a fan of really bad movies, this is the worst.
A close second in the genre would be "The Creeping Terror". The world's least scary monster. Looks like slow moving hedges.
Both are well worth watching if you like that sort of thing.

[coconutmama]

Clockwork Orange would be my pick for Worst.

[JB in TV]

Clockwork Orange was soooo long ago, early 70'S???? I do remember leaving that movie way before it ended. A somewhat more recent movie on my "worst list"...Cliffhanger. The gratuitous violence was just too much for me. I like to be entertained when I go to a movie... watching someone get the s#!7 kicked out of them is not entertaining to me.

[Judith Ann]

For me it was TED...ugh!

[jhrc4]

And another HUH one more HUH ?huh?

[MartyRR]

March or Die. Even though it was made in 1977, it was so bad I can't forget.

[TennDrifter]

Wolf on wall street

[kittygilchrist]

12 Years as a Slave.

[maddie101]

Another vote for Pulp Fiction.

[Taltarzac725]

List of films considered the worst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_considered_the_worst)

I agree with some of these from the Wikipedia list.

I actually liked many of the movies mentioned on this thread like Pulp Fiction, Cliffhanger, 12 Years a Slave and A Clockwork Orange.

Shakespeare in Love bored me silly when I first saw it, but maybe I should go back and see it again. I never viewed it again.

[loveinthesun]

All is lost... That movie was the pits

The American

George Clooney!

[tucson]

Wolf on wall street

I agree!! Rented it last wk. the first couple of minutes of viewing the most disgusting porn scenes did it for me! Shut it down right then, glad it only cost me a dollar...that's all it was worth...actually not even that much. I find it amazing that this trash got nominated for an Oscar!!!

[Taltarzac725]

The American

George Clooney!

The American - Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/american/)

That was rather boring. One George Clooney movie I really disliked was Solaris. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/solaris/

[PennBF]

The American. It was beyond terrible. A real rip off..:(

[OBXNana]

I stand ready to be slammed for this, but I was bored to tears with Star Wars.

I saw this was an old thread and it resurfaced. I was pregnant with our first child, fell asleep, and hated it. I thought I was the only person that felt this way about Star Wars. So glad to see I'm not alone.

[jblum315]

I stood in line for nearly 2 hours in the Florida sun so that my kids could see the opening day of Star Wars. I wasn't bored I was just bewildered " Is this what all the fuss is about?"
Kids loved it of course

:BigApplause: I managed to avoid having to sit through the sequels.

[Topspinmo]

Was dating in around 1970ish when to movie called 1000 motels. Only movie I have ever gone to were 95% of the people walked out in half hour. that my friends is what's called bad movie when the paying public walks out.

Don't ask me what it was about or who starred in it. It was so bad I couldn't remember day after the horrific event. :22yikes:

Never heard of 1000 Motels, but 200 Motels in 1971 starred The Mothers of Invention and Ringo.

[SantaClaus]

Dune. But there's been a whole batch of nihilistic films in the past few years that I really dislike. Ones where you walk out of the theater wondering "why did someone feel the need to tell that 'story'". Call me old-fashioned, but generally speaking, if you tell a story there ought to be a POINT.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

Dances with Wolves. How many hours of watching buffalo roam the plains can you tolerate. I was bored to death.

Throw Momma from the Train - Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/throw_momma_from_the_train/)

Have not seen that one for a very long time.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

That's kind of a strange choice, personally, I loved Dances With Wolves. One of my supervisors at the U of MN Law Library was enamored of the Lakota people and language. She was ecstatic when it won Best Picture.

I dozed off several times. It was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen.

As far as it winning best picture, IMHO, it was one of those left wing Hollywood things. It had a political message so they lapped it up. They forget that their job is to entertain us and that movie just bored me.

[zcaveman]

2000 Maniacs. Saw this when I was stationed at Cherry Point back in 64-65.

There were some critics who did not like it all that much. Dances With Wolves - Movie Reviews - Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dances_with_wolves/reviews/)

I am kind of a Kevin Costner fan though even enjoying some movies which others see as real turkeys like The Postman and Waterworld. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/kevin_costner/

I have never really seen Hollywood as going left or right. There are a huge number of people involved in the making of movies and many of these are in other locations than Southern California and for every Kevin Costner there is a Kelsey Grammer. For every Jane Fonda, a Charlton Heston.

[zonerboy]

Many on this thread have mentioned The American as the number one worst picture. While I agree that George Clooney's character was dull, lifeless, and extremely boring, on the other hand seeing just about all of Violante Placido by itself was worth the price of admission. She is most beautiful.

Pulp fiction

[TexaninVA]

Hmm, really good question. I am thinking of movies I've walked out of:

Reds - Long and boring

Pay it Forward - You make a cute little boy a hero in a feel good story and kill him!!!!

And virtually anything with Sylvester Stallone.


I looked at a couple of lists on line of "bad movies". To my mind most of them were things like Ed Wood movies, or really cheesy sci-fi movies. Thing is, when something is that bad you kind of have to watch it, kind of like a car wreck.

Agree ... Reds was horrible. Walked out before it finished.

[cybrgeezer]

Pulp fiction

I'm not questioning your taste at all, missypie. I think most people either love or hate Tarantino movies. :^) But I think it's one of the best ever.

I'm not a lover of violence and such. But I can overlook it when a movie has other qualities, and to me "Pulp Fiction" is just excellent. Each scene is well constructed and they fit together into a wonderful whole. I've watched it (or at least portions of it) more times than I can count.

Pulp Fiction is a real piece of art for me too. I tried watching I, Frankenstein this afternoon and even the actors seem unhappy to be associated with it. Quite a different story with almost all the Tarantino movies. I see little correlation between real life violence and the movies unless you are taking about someone who has already blurred the difference between the two. And, sometimes very graphic violence is needed for the story like with Saving Private Ryan. You can tell that Tarantino has a real love and knowledge of movies from his work.
