What's the worst film you've ever seen?

[Reno]

The worst thing I've ever saw was a Japnese film called Casshern, some life action manga style rubbish with no attempt at characters or a coherent story, just one cheap looking digital effect scene after another.

The film I hated the most was probably Dancer in the Dark. I felt sorry for Bjork, who gave a good performance and contributed a great soundtrack, but the film was just cynically manipulative with no actual point to make. The whole thing was a pleasurable as watching Lars Von Trier strangling kittens.

 

[Biddlybee]

Oh yes!

'Boxing Helena'!

Now THAT was a shit movie! Bloke chops his g/f's arms and legs off and sticks her in a box. Nice one. It was so shit that even someone as dreck as Kim Basinger refused to be in it and got royally sued for breaching her contract.

Sherilyn Fenn, however, had no such qualms.

That's the worst one I've ever seen.

wtf

 

[Chorlton]

Sideways

Old Joy

any troma film, no they are not 'so bad they're good' they are just utter fucking shit

 

[Dubversion]

Sideways

a fantastic film

 

[Chorlton]

a fantastic film

pure.bad.balls

ETA: at least city slickers was funny

 

[goldenecitrone]

a fantastic film

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. One man's meat, I suppose.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Nah, I agree with Dub here, Sideways is one of the best films of this decade. How you can rate it as one of the worst ever is beyond me

 

[Andy the Don]

Sideways

WTF.. A great film.

The Road to Perdition.. now that's a crap film absolutely drivel. Although that can be said for 99.999% of Tom Hanks films especially Forest (fucking) Gump.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Big was good though.

 

[Reno]

Big was good though.

It was.

I also like Splash.

 

[Biddlybee]

Big was good though.

Only the bit with the piano you could step on

My thoughts on sideways have been aired before:
i think i summed it up best here:

Its fucking MOR cock

a guy at work gave me that on dvd

it tries to pull an eva but fails spectacularly

i do know what the guy was aiming at though... but yeah the characters were a complete let down and to be honest even knowing what the guy wanted to doesn't make it worth watching

the original looks kinda suck too

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

And I actually paid good money to go and see it in the cinema

I nearly walked out but kept thinking to myself I'll give it another ten minutes, it's bound to get better, and it didn't, so I'd think, well, ten more minutes, it *must* get better than this. And it didn't.

Worst. Film. Ever.


But the Andy Warhol Crash film has to be a close second.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

American Beauty, obviously

One of the best!

 

[Reno]

But the Andy Warhol Crash film has to be a close second.

You've got a choice between Flesh or Trash, but there is no Crash (unless you mean the Cronenberg film or the recent Oscar winner).

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

and Sideways was good, too.

 

[Reno]

I also hate American Beauty. I don't think it's the worst film ever made, but it's smug, shallow, selfcongratulatory rubbish that massages the egos of undemanding liberals. It also rips off Atom Egoyan's much better Family Viewing.

*I'm also grumpy because I just got the haircut from hell. Last time I went to Mr Topper.*

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Probably Trash then. Because it was. I can't remember much of it but remember it was dreadful and I vaguely recall someone had a very annoying whiney voice in it.



Actually, now you mention it, the Cronenberg Crash was good, very interesting, and the recent Oscar winner was very well played too.

I love the Cronenberg Crash and don't think the recent Oscar winning Crash is as bad as many people make it out to be.

 

[ringo]

She was in a film called 'Blame It On The Bellboy' or something that I once saw because I was too hungover to get it together to change channels. It was fucking hellish.

Yup, that's my choice too. Ball-achingly awful.

 

[jæd]

You, Me, And Dupree -- turgid shite. Michael Douglas is it for some reason.

 

[Genghis Cohen]

Obviously not one of you have experienced the cinematic hell of the 'american ninja' series, three and four being particularly shit.

That aside (incidentally, sideways WAS self indulgent wank) stealth left me wondering just how the fuck it is that shit like that gets made, who could possibly think that that is a good idea for a film.

 

[LM17]

My most recent worst movie is Miami Vice. Can't believe I paid £3.50 to watch it on demand. I never want to see a film with Colin Farrell in ever again.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I haven't seen the cronenbourg crash, but i thought the oscar one was very good.

 

[DotCommunist]

Red Soynja

Awful arnie swords n sorcery nonesense. Just boring

 

[London_Calling]

I love the Cronenberg Crash and don't think the recent Oscar winning Crash is as bad as many people make it out to be.

I thought the problem with the latter was it was it felt too much like LA people addressing a LA audience about LA-centric racial issues. Didn't make it inaccessible, but I did feel strangely like an outside observer.

 

[moomoo]

Barney's magical musical adventure or whatever it was called.

I've seen some crap kids films in my time but this was the worst

 

[Geri]

I've walked out of the cinema only three times in my life.

Salo - 120 days of Sodom

So boring - we had to join a special club to be able to see it, and I thought it was going to be shocking, but it was just dull.

Dead Man

Even Johnny Depp and Neil Young couldn't make it interesting for me.

I can't remember the other one, it was about some Canadian woman who had cancer.

 

[LDR]

SW9.

What a load of toss and I was quite looking forward to it too.
