16. It's Alive scared the ever lovin' blue-eyed crap out of me
as a kid.

I think the film still has a few macarbre elements... Avoiud the sequels like the plague though, especially "Island of the Alive" with Michael Moriarty.

2. It's a tie
Between Jeepers Creepers (I can't believe they made a sequel to that) or 3000 Miles to Graceland. JC wasn't even scary, had a lowsy ending, and a bad plot. While 3KMtG had unlikeable characters who are almost childish, lame plot, and so-so action. It was the first movie I ever walked out of.
Love,
Yaoi Huntress Earth

4. As a Mariah fan, I admit Glitter could have been much better...
Edited on Sat Aug-02-03 07:09 PM by wyldwolf
If musicians HAVE to do movies, why do they always do vanity movies? Mariah got rave reviews for "Wise Girls" but she wan't playing herself.

My pick for worse movie is Blair Witch. As Chris Rock said, "What the hell was that?"

8. It was on MST3K
I'd be inclined to exclude anything that's been on Mystery Science Theater 3000... Those are the movies that are so bad they become fun to watch again. Just my opinion.

Especially "The Player."

Then there's "Body of Evidence," starring Madonna and Willem Dafoe...

"Bram Stoker's Dracula"...

"Hudson Hawk"...

23. You didn't like MASH or Nashville?
I can understand not liking Ready to Wear...but Altman has a dark sense of humor I appreciate. Ever see The Wedding? I haven't seen Nashville in a long time...the songs are hilarious, especially Arte Johnson's, Ronee Blakely's, and Karen Black's. Jeff Goldblum, Shelly Duvall, and Keith Caradine are also in the case. Plus Lily Tomlin.

and everything else on your list (including "The Player")

I really love some of Altman's films but "The Player", "Streamers", "Vincent & Theo", "Come Back To The Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean" are some of the worst movies I have ever seen

52. Oh, c'mon...
it wasn't that bad...

In fact, for a comic-book movie (which ALWAYS suck), it was pretty fun.

1) the victorian lack of interest in the "automobile" is very true to character--I rememeber thinking at the time that the Victorian passersby would not be caught dead showing enthusiasm over anything in public.

2) Imagine, just for a moment, that the governments of the world actually got ahold of the machine guns and tanks as used by the villian--I can see them sitting crated in a massive warehouse a la Raiders of the Lost Ark until such a time as they could be researched/copied/exploited. That could explain the time schism between a tank rolling around London in 1899 and the same design 'premiering' on a battlefield in France some 18 years later. Remember, the machine guns kept jamming--I'm sure Mr. Browning spent a few years working out the bugs...

3) It was Gavarillo Princip, not Franjo!

I felt less cheated seeing this movie than I felt seeing:

True Lies
The Doom Generation
Moulin Rouge
Saturn 3
Black Moon

There's someone else who didn't like Moulin Rouge. Tacky sets, too much being shoved down your throat, obnoxious characters, and modern songs being butchered.

17. Dark Star. Gotta be Dark Star.
Nothing could be worse than an alien made from a beach ball with paper feet, and an astronaut surfing through space on an ironing board. I don't care what you say, Dark Star IS the worst movie ever made. The most painful part is, it's based on a fairly good story, too.

18. I said it before, I'll say it again...
John Travolta's hundred million dollar magnum opus "Battlefield Earth"...Sublimely ugly and stupid, totally unentertaining and just plain bad. Too bad the MS3K crew aren't around anymore to screen this "labor of love"...But then again the little robot's circuits would overheat and fry in the first half hour from commenting on this abortion gone horribly wrong. Splattering my tv screen with nice ripe tomatoes at least provided an interesting visual contrast with the scenes shot through a blue filter....However, I've heard a sequel is in the works for all you fans out there...But then they said the same about the American "Godzilla" movie which looks like "Citizen Kane" in comparison to this abomination. And by the way did I mention that I HATE HATE HATE this movie?

41. Yes, in fact
Everyone intimately involved with that film committed suicide. Check the bios from their imdb page:

http://us.imdb.com/Title?0060666

I have to agree, this is the worst movie of all time. I've never seen the bots so upset, as in this one. For forty five minutes, NOTHING HAPPENS.

Manos, however, was small budget. The worst full-budget film is, far and away, The Judas Project.

http://us.imdb.com/Title?0107284

Don't believe me? Give it a try. If you can make it to the "Armpit of Justice" sequence, you have my respect.

53. Yeah, but...
Am I the only one who thought that movies was one of those that was so bad it was fun to watch?

I watched it with a friend who had the Mystery Science Theatre version, but I actually wished I could see the movie without the commentary 'cause I thought I might enjoy seeing it in its pure badness.

Alright, I may be the only one who thought that, but that's okay...:-)

34. Gigli is italian for....
Ishtar......

Worse movie...

It's a toss. Best Friends with Christine Lathi and Mary Tyler Moore

Or

Love Story....


What I like to look at is a movie that was hailed as groundbreaking at the time but ten years latter looks as if it was nothing more than a snapshot reflection of the time....

Movies I feel fall in that category are Serpico, Deer Hunter, and yes, even Godfather and Gone with the Wind.......

These movies fall far short of greatness in that they become dated and captured not by a theme but by the time they were produced.

Look at It's A Wonderful Life or John Waynes The Searchers or Casablanca. These movies transcended the time they were made and appeal across generations.

51. Re: It's a Wonderful Life
Interestingly, it was a huge, Ishtar-level flop when it premiered. It was a fairly expensive movie to make, with the star-power involved, and it wasn't very well-received.

The reason it has become such an institution is precisely because of its failure at the box office. In the early days of television, there was a lack of Christmas-related programming (imagine THAT!!), and "It's a Wonderful Life" was unbelievably cheap to license and broadcast. It had big stars and a Christmas theme, so it became cheap programming to air during the Holidays, and it soon became a tradition.

54. "Nice" reviews
I'm often tempted to see really bad movies just to see how bad they are, and whether I agree with the critics about them- 'cause I have a tendency to disagree with them. However, I just don't think I can stomach sitting through that one!

Cool, one of those reviewers is from my local TV station in Beaumont, TX...

47. 'Saturn 3" or "The Doom Generation" n/t
COme to think of it, "Hardware" was pretty awful, too, but I think the worst movie of all time has to be "Moulin Rouge"

56. my brother says...
Edited on Sun Aug-03-03 02:04 PM by MysticalChicken
(Remember me? I haven't been on here in AGES.)

Anyway, I never saw it, nor did I have any desire to see it, but my brother (who's 18) went and saw ...crap, now I can't remember the name of it. It was that one horror movie directed by Rob Zombie a few months ago. Um... heh. If I can't remember the name of a movie, it must be REALLY bad. Anywhoozle, he came home and I asked him how the movie was.

"Horrible," he said. "Don't ever go see it."

"What was it about?" I asked.

"Nothing!" he proclaimed. "That's just it. It wasn't about *anything*. Don't see it, don't rent it ... no, actually rent it and burn it (and he meant actual burning, like in a fire) ... no, actually, don't rent it because then you'll be giving Rob Zombie money he doesn't need."

Anyway, the local paper gave the movie a review of F, which needless to say they only give to the really horrible crap (even Gigli got a D+, and I think the + was only for the Christopher Walken scene) that is the sludge at the bottom of the film database slop bucket. So, hey, Gigli's better than That Rob Zombie Movie, at least! :)

64. I dunno either, but IMDB says House of 1000 Corpses
and he wrote it, too!
IMDB users didn't hate it, exactly, although 5.6/10 is a pretty low score.

59. The Hours
Now, I wouldn't go to far as to say that it was the worst movie ever made. But god damn, it was pretty bad and it became so overrated (yes, i consider getting nominated for an Oscar overrated).
The story was just so lame and boring. It even got to the point that V. Woolf was making out with her own sister. Ridiculous!

68. do you mean "so bad it's good?"
If so, you have got to see Swarm. Killer bees in Texas with an all-star 70s cast (Michael Caine, Henry Fonda, Patty Duke, ... even Olivia DeHavilland)

It might just be me. But this movie makes "Airplane!" look like a documentary. I actually bought a copy for when I'm feeling down and need a good laugh....

69. Killer Clowns From Outer Space
http://www.cinecrap.com/killerclowns.html

A Mini-Review

By Mike Bunch

This film should qualify for an ABSOULTE ASS award, or at least a Golden Dingleberry. This relatively unknown (thank God and everyone else for that) "gem" from 1988 is about about aliens invading a small town, begging the question "Have you ever noticed that aliens always seem to choose Hicksville, USA to invade when they appear in an F- movie?"

The aliens succeed in killing the townspeople as well as any hope for a plot. To top it off, the only people who have a clue about what is happening are some of the town youth. Hmmm... town youth out to save the day, I wonder where they got that little plot idea? The writers must have watch a Corey Haim/Corey Feldman film or something.

To top it off, our heroic youths are driving around in an ice cream truck while trying to save their town and friends. Oh, by the way, did I happen to mention that the aliens resemble really ugly circus clowns and use equally cheesy weapons (this is a stretch, but I bet that is where the title came from)? And that the only way to kill them is to hit them in the nose?

more...

73. Cutthroat Island, or maybe Battlefield Earth
Without the slow-mo, it would have been 35 minutes long. They cut to slow-motion when mounting a horse, at one point when a barrel of fish falls over. Why am I watching a abrrel of fish falling in slow-motion? Am I syupposed to oooh and ahhh at the drama, or the amazing stunt work involved in tipping over barrels of fish? Oh well, at least everyone was vertical...remember Battlefield Earth, where everyone in the theater kind of tiltes their heads to the left or right to follow the diagonal cinematography?

81. Meet The Folks
Worst movie I ever sat through in a theater! BTW, I loved Moulin Rouge. I used to work 12 hour swing shifts and on night shifts I’d bring in movies to watch. Sitting in the dark, along in a huge room full of computer equipment, I’d bring musicals to watch to keep me awake, or fun SciFi. Moulin Rouge, Buffy episodes (especially “Once More with Feeling.”, episodes of Far Scape, ST:II Khan, etc. kept me awake...... Glad no one was around when I suddenly burst into song.. "PRETTY LADY MARMALARDE!" at o'dark thirty.

God, they sucked. Two weeks notice is the prime example of why the romantic comedy genre is pure dreck. Jay and Silent Bob, even as a Kevin Smith fan in general, was sooo bad I had to turn it off about a 1/3 of the way in. Oh god, the horror.

although you do have to appreciate a fairly childish sense of humour.

Me?....I like fart gags and swearing.

Not as intelligent as Dogma, but SO much better than Chasing Amy which was ruined by some croak-voiced Harpy in the main role....no offence.

90. I just sat through "Old School" could there be worse?
I mean, I figured it was sick warped humor along the line of 'Road Trip' or 'American Pie'; which I geniunely liked both of those movies. But "Old School" had the worse plot and ruined what could have been an incredible cast (Will Farrell, Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughen).

I can't imagine any movie out there could be worse than "Old School"

94. "Gilgligi" Gets Rave Review
Hollywood Reports - Pomona - August 2, 2003

Byline - Relpa McFuine

"Ggilygyl" (pronounced "pbdmtwf") garnered rave reviews today from
Hollywood insiders and real-life amouras Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

"I think Jennifer is a tremendous actress," Affleck said of Lopez. "I don't think people give her enough credit."

Meanwhile, Lopez said that her honey has the chops, too. "I think Ben is amazing onscreen. He's amazing--period."

"I loved us in 'Lgllgyy'," Affleck added. "I couldn't keep my
eyes off of us. I was there when we were making the movie, but
I was so scared and excited wondering what was going to happen next that
I forgot I already knew. I forgot we was the guys in the movie, that's
how good we was."

"I agree one hundred and ten percent," said Lopez. "Go
see it. It's like so fun. If you don't like it,
Ben will send you your money back."

"Gosh darn it!" Affleck said, laughing, "Jen is a cut-up!"

"I don't know," said Lopez, "but we really cut the rug in 'Gggggyl'!
Hey, do the duck, Ben. Ben does the Affleck duck."

"Yeah, sure, huh huh," said Affleck. "No, I do not. That's
not funny. Well, anyway, please, for God's sakes, somebody
go see this frigging movie."

"It's a dilly," said Lopez.

"It's a pickle and a tuna sandwich," Affleck chimed in.

"We love each other like a couple of drunk nuns," said
Lopez, "and there's no reason everybody else shouldn't
either. I play a lesbian hit-man and Ben plays my mother."

"We set off in a schooner on top of bicycle wheels to see what
became of America," explained Affleck.

"But it's exciting, too," said Lopez, "with brains
splattered around, sweaty yoga stretch pants poses, etc."

"If you don't go see it," Affleck said, "I'll come to
your horse and personally--"

"Come to their horse?" asked Lopez.

"Huh?"

"You said 'come to their horse.'"

"No, I didn't, did I? Well, maybe I was thinking of your
big cabooze that makes me feel like a horse in clover!"

"You big bunk hunk! You big bunkhouse!"

"Oh ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The two delightful lovers and co-stars of "Llllllllgliy"
excused themselves and went into the broom closet where
they closed the door and began to croon "Cement Mixer,
Putty Putty" to drown out the sounds of their own sexual
intercourse.

It was a day this reporter will never forget, not only
because I saw "Iiiiiiiiiiglyg" myself for free by being
a movie reporter, but because I got to know a
little of the magical mystery tour which is the life and
times of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, two people who
in real-life are every bit as interesting as they are on
the big screen. I look forward to living the rest of my
life with them, for I have filed papers for them to
adopt me. I forged their signatures and will hire
look-alikes to go to court to approve it. Then I will
serve them with the adoption papers and move in with
them. Just thinking about it I start to make little
baby noises like "Glouglalalylglug."

other than that I elect movies i have never seen, and never will see.

a Beautiful Mind: I don't give a fuck what this movie is about, it should NOT have won best picture over lord of the rings.

Titanic: just awful. i got the shits half way through this movie that's how bad it was, and thankfully didn't see the rest.

okay, more movies that i've seen and hated.

legally blonde 2. shit-tastic.

chicago. sorry, not as good as gangs of new york or two towers, not deserving of an oscar.

the pianist. adrian brody should not have beaten out daniel day lewis for this oscar either.

115. Well, I've really hated a lot of movies
among them some that were critically or popularly acclaimed, including:

The Blair Witch Project (oh puh-leeeze! just frigging kill 'em already and make 'em shut UP about the frigging map!)
Independence Day (a coherent script and a bit less jingoism might have helped)
Happiness (just being an unrelieved downer does not make a movie brilliant)
Forrest Gump (ugh. just - ugh. I hate everything about this movie)
The English Patient (possibly the most boring and incomprehensible movie ever made)
Orlando (brilliant acting. What is the point of the movie?)
The Piano Teacher (WTF was THAT mess all about? Who on earth thought this was a good idea for a movie?)
Showgirls (pretty bad when you have that much bare supermodel skin and it isn't even titillating)

so many bad movies, so little time to review them...

Travolta's character's name was Strip for gawd's sake.

126. I have to vote for........
"Stigmata" I actually fell asleep towards the end. I thought it was ghastly and such a waste of a talent such as Gabriel Byrne.

129. *cheer*
After I entered my opinion, I remembered this bomb.

I actually liked the MTV cinematography a bit, but the film itself stunk-deluxe. The writers had no idea what they were talking about, and it was so completely intolerant of Catholics that it made me ill.

I still haven't figured out the floating shoe thing.

Nor, I think, do I want to.

I just watched half of it last night. I couldn't believe that this was a Ted Turner financed film and used his real name. While I cannot vouch for the historical accuracy of the battle scenes (which in and of themselves sucked), I’ve never seen such a revisionist, apologist portrayal of the issue of and attitudes about slavery as contrasted between the Union and the confederacy. Even though I knew who the characters were as I watched, the damn movie actually had me confused, on several occasions, as to who was the North and who was the South. And the acting was absolutely atrocious. When they did recite something that was historically accurate, I swear that there was a guy, off camera, who was holding a history book up for the actors to read. It was like bad Shakespeare. The only plus for this dud is the (when not CGI) cinematography. The Virginia countryside is very nice to look at and brought back fond memories of when I lived there. I really like long movies but I could only stomach half of this one in one sitting and am seriously wondering if the second half is worth my time. They should have slapped a confederate flag on the box and called this one "We Were The Good Guys".

135. Ishtar and a movie called "Walker"
Walker was made during the Reagan administration's covert war with Nicaragua. It was about a U.S. mercenary who took over Nicaragua and restored slavery in the 1850's with financial support from the Vanderbilt family. The guy's first name escapes me.

I guess the movie was supposed to elicit opposition for Nicaraguan intervention but was nothing but a conglomeration of dumb jokes. Very painful to watch. Gave up halfway through the movie.
