tie between Avenging Angelo with Sylvester Stallone and In Hell with Jean Claude Van Damme
both of those movies are guaranteed to be in the top 5 of any credible list of the worst movies of all time.
i am still traumatized by their horribleness even to this day
just thinking about them makes me cringe ~:eek:
Windtalkers.. Ive never seen such a horrible movie in my life. :no:
Anything directed by Kubrick. I despise him for A Clockwork Orange.
Requim for a Dream:
Napoleon Dynamite: I am of the right age to love that movie (all my friends do) why do I get the urge to murder the person who made it?
Mulholland Drive: No point, the best part were hot lesbians.
The Rules of Attraction: See above, without the lesbians
Dumb and Dumber: I hate dumb movies. This is the definition of dumb movies.
That covers what I have right now,
Azi
Anything which is "critically acclaimed" or a "masterpiece" is invariably complete and utter crap. These sort of films include Death in Venice and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Boooooooriiiiiing.
WHAT!!!!! Mr Kubrik in the worst films of all time ??? sacre bleu ~:eek:
Pretty much any movie with Jean-Claude Van Dam, or Steven Seigal.
5 Worst Movies.
Comedy: Dumb and Dumber-er
Fantasy: Dungeons and Dragons (This movie was released about 3 years ago).
War: Wind Talkers... Followed by Heart's War
Drama: Not much of a Drama fan, but Terms of Endearment
Suspense: The Island of Dr. Moreau... the biggest, steamiest Pile of **** I have ever seen on a Movie Screen.
First Knight :thumbsdown:
What an utter waste - what were they thinking when they made that one?
dto. I actually thought it was very well made and over the top in a very ironic way.Quote:

I thought Requiem for a Dream was startling. Very disturbing, very engrossing. Hard to watch and harder to look away.
What makes you put Requiem for a Dream as one of the worst?
In series one, Blackadder is simply an incompetent, stupid coward. His character is simply not funny. In series two, his character is dramatically changed (as even the writers admit) to make him much more intelligent and cunning. In series three and four he becomes slightly more intelligent and cunning, but the main change in character is between series one and two.Quote:

To be honest, Baldrick probably gets more stupid if anything (in series one he is more intelligent than Blackadder, IMO)Quote:

Ah but what is the best film you've seen? hmmm a toss between Shawshank Redemption and The Butterfly effect, both very good films..
and whoever said blackadder was rubbish should be hanged :charge: :charge: :duel: :duel: :charge: :charge:
A series of Unfortunate events was great. I love the books and i thought they adapted it very well
Do you really believe that? It was just poorly written and not funny, and they had no idea what to do with the character. His evolutions between the subsequent series was not as great as that, infact he barely evolved at all. I personally thought Blackadder peaked at wittiness in series 3.Quote:

Ian i agree about shawshank, it is simply a masterpiece but i'm not sure about the butterfly effect, the bit that entertained me was when he lost his arms but apart from that ~D
The good thing about the butterfly effect was it made you think, exactly why io also said Shawshank
If you are referring to me here, then I did not say that Blackadder was rubbish. I said that Blackadder Series 1 was rubbish. Blackadder series 2-4 was one of the greatest comedies of all time (ranked second of all British comedies in the fairly recent BBC poll).Quote:

but the worst film ever would be a Charly Chaplin movie tough they've might been good for that period... but why are they still on the telly? nobody watch those...I think...cool I can think...I think....hmmm pie.
Blair Witch Project, I rented it and only watched it for 15 minutes or so, terrible.
I love Starship Troopers, but I guess you have to 'get' it, it's incredibly funny. (note that I don't mean you need a certain level of intelligence to get it, or know about certain things, or imply anything else insulting)
Requiem for a dream wasn't especially bad, it certainly had its moments.
Hulk was bad, but it did also have Jennifer Connoly, which is what kept me watching ~D
sorry, i dint read the whole thread ~:cheers: ~DQuote:

OK the shower scene had certain voyeuristic charms, but the rest was a suck-fest.Quote:

"king arthur" was so bad that I cannot think of a worse film at the moment. I really regret seeing that. I was sharing hangover with my best friend and we decided to go see it. Afterwards we had to clear our heads of that terrible film so we went straight back in to see the next one . The next film was "before sunset". I now regard "before sunset" as a great film.
Blackadder: I like to see it as a gradual transformation in the intelligence field. Blackadder becomes increasingly clever whilst declining in social statues whilst Baldrick just becomes more and more stupid. You can trace it throughout the series.
Got to agree with you there.Quote:

The Hulk
Daredevil
Blackadder Series 1
King Arthur *shudder*
Blair Witch Project
That's all I have to say...
Hmm...not really a film, but I'll allow it.Quote:

Actually, I wonder if Reqium for a Dream would not be bad as part of schools "Drugs are bad M'kay" teaching policy. Sure as hell scared me. 2001 is comotose inducing. Maybe it is because I grew up watching TV, reading, you know, interesting things happening, but I can't sit for hours with nothing happening. I just need to read the darned book for that one.
I just don't like Full Metal Jacket. Maybe he was trying to show that wars are bad, maybe he was trying to show how wars actually are, I don't know. But I just can't stand to watch it.
Dr. Strangelove I've seen too long ago to comment on that, I just remember it being really stupid.
But I also notice you did not mention "Eyes Wide Shut". Any reason for that? ~;)
And I just looked up Paths of Glory. Never heard of that one before so I can't comment.
In terms of worst for lack of entertainment value, I have to go with Napoleon Dynamite. At least with Reqium, Dumb and Dumber, and Kubrick's work (now how many people would put those three in a list together?) I was entertained, at least a bit. But Napoleon Dynamite was just insulting.
And am I showing my lack of culture if I don't know what the heck Blackadder and Baldrick are? Sounds like something from Half-Life.
King Henry V, I must say, usually I agree with you (how many of Kubrick's films do critics just go orgasmic over?), but there are some acclaimed ones that I like too. Shawshank comes to mind (probably because I just read it here), also American Beauty, Gladiator.
And what is with the King Arthur bashing? The film was more full of holes than my battle strategy for MTW (right now, I just started playing it) but still, it was vaccuous entertainment. Like a chick flick. But people died. Which makes it better. Right?

yeah, I noticed that from series two on it was blackadder that was clever and baldrick who was stupid.
It must have been my imagination but I definitely felt that Blackadder of "goes Forth" was the cleverest Blackadder whilst the Baldrick from the same series was the stupidest Baldrick of them all.
That's just how I like to remember it.
Curse the writers for saying otherwise.
Blackadder did get smarter as the series went on, and Baldrick did get more stupid. But between series one and two, these changes were dramatic, and saved the programme.
Worst:
- Pret-a-porter
- Independence Day
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen / Van Helsing (basically the same movie)
- Highlander II
- Love, Actually
- A Life Less Ordinary
- End of Days
I thought Requiem for a Dream was exceptional. Very powerful. Brilliant soundtrack.
Behind Enemy Lines. What a god awful ending.
DareDevil - shite.
