Worst film list - wih a twist

[Johnny Canuck3]

Casino Royale. You assume that since it's a bond movie, it's going to get better: but it never does.

 

[Dante]

n'ah i'll defend gladiator. plot is riven with holes, and makes no sense, but the first fiteen minutes and teh arean scenes are col.

not brotherhood of the wolf, but still ok.. works as a drunken film preamble.

casino royale was defintly shit thoug. in fact all bonds since goldeneye hve been crap.

 

[Sunray]

Lake Placid
Worst film in human history, the only highlight of which is the cow hanging from a helicopter.

 

[al]

Sunshine

saw it at the ritzy the other week and thought it was rubbish - all style, no substance...

You sound like Father Noel "I actually liked the English Patient - very long and confusing, and very very boring, but still - my kind of fillum"

 

[Dante]

Father noel?
but didnt like the english pateinet. loved gosford house though.

Which reminds me of captain correlli. i dont tihnk i managed more than half of it.

Oh and defintly the excocist. i would ahve walked out if i wasnt with somone on a date wit, but she didnt want to be alone...fuck how crap is a horro movie when you fall asleep...

 

[billy_bob]

Father noel?

Graham Norton's character in father Ted. His little speech on the English Patient delivered whilst Ted and Dougal were trapped in the Caves with him. I think the idea was only someone as annoying as Father Noel would like the English Patient - it was just the fact that you were slagging off a film but still saying you liked it that made me think of it.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

The Hulk wast truly awful

Indeed it was. Bloody dreadful film it was.

I'm aware the consensus of opinion isn't on my side when it comes to Gladiator, but I hate it and have a very long list of reasons why. Chief of which is the way the fight scenes are shot. And don't even get me started on the polystyrene Colisseum.

Everyone mentions the first fifteen minutes but I think that's the only half-decent bit of the film.

I only know one person who likes the Hulk film. Not even Jennifer Connelly redeems it IMO

 

[intrikat]

House of Wax (the remake) wanted them all to die after about 10mins...
M is for Modesty just awful
Species 2

I feel like I'm just going to be the boring contrarian on this thread because I will keep defending films. I'm not going to defend one this time, though I really want to. I just want to quote this:

in fact all bonds since goldeneye hve been crap.

What!! That means that Goldeneye was not crap!? Casino Royale (I'm not defending it, although I liked it) was far, far a greater bond film, nay, film in general, than Goldeneye.

Tripe of the highest order.

 

[Dante]

hmmm, good point. will have to watch it again and come up with a definitive view. This is all part of my slimming my dvd collection. gave about 200 disks to oxfam a few weeks ago and got about 200 left, so this might go in the next round of cuts. not sure though.

the slave uprising is interesting. same with the gladiator training. I suppose its just all that pseudo roman gumpf that lets it down. and the pretention that russell crow brings.


Oh, and the hulk? watched it the other week. why? i dont know. I knew i shouldnt as it was the only time ive heard that the video game was better than the film but the video game was shit.

and the film? why bother? lots more interesting superheroes to make films out of

n'ah the problem with casino royale was that they deliberatly slimmed it down, going back to basics etc etc. except that thats not what people want from a bond movie. From a spy movie, sure. but from bond you want gadgets and explossions and cool shit thats great fun at 2 in the morning. instead you get a third rate thriller with plot holes washed over with pointles gibberish. complete contrdicting the previous films, zero continuity. and a poker scene that has to be amongst the worst on film.

goldeneye worked with sean bean as a baddy and one of the best spin off games ever. so neh

 

[agricola]

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

That has got to be the closest I've ever come to walking out of the cinema, and I'm generally really easily pleased when it comes to films.

But with this one I kept thinking, okay, I'll give it ten more minutes, it's *got* to start getting better. And then it didn't. So I'd think, okay, ten more minutes...

And it never got any better. It was crap.

another vote for that, it is so bad it defies any kind of rational explanation

 

[agricola]

also, as bad as gladiator is, it at least is partially responsible for classical history having a higher profile than it would have had it not been made.

true, but a vote against that would be that it allowed troy and alexander to be made....

then again we've got 300, king arthur, and a few others that i cant remmeber damn this memory loss. out of it. which are good romps if nothing more

 

[Kenny Vermouth]

The Village is one of the worst for me - i hate that Shaylaman - smug arsehole...

Good call. I won't admit to totally working it out, but I was not in the least bit surprised when the truth came out.

And the film and the actors are a load of fucking bollocks.

 

[Orang Utan]

I managed to work out both twists without even bothering to watch the film

 

[5t3IIa]

Master and commander i'm adding on the basis that its two hours of a sailing ship with only two fights. neither of which were particulary interesting. Hornblower was much better. besides which that fucking stupid weevil joke is stuck in my head

Bwahaha! I love that film and that joke

But I hated Signs - I felt insulted by the ponderous, mysticism-lite crappness of it, not seen a MNS affort since.

 

[scifisam]

yeah, me too. i thought it was a damn good idea. the rest of his stuff is welly.

Yeah. I keep expecting his other films to be good, on the basis of Unbreakable, but they never are. (Course, it helped that I didn't know Unbreakable was going to have a twist at the end, so wasn't looking for one).

 

[Dante]

oooh, my all time hate: Titanic....

words acn not express how much that pisses me off. so fucking contrived. on the same note

Pearl Harbour. What? i mean seriously, What? all that money gone to waste

 

[Agent Sparrow]

oooh, my all time hate: Titanic....

I agree with you on that one. I went to the cinema to see it (dragged by friend, still uncertain why I allowed this to happen) and spent the last half hour waiting for Leonardo DeCaprio to just get fucking on with dying!!!

Hardly a film with a twist though. Would have been interesting if the twist had been that the ship didn't sink!

 

[Dante]

or would have been better without decaprio.... though he was quiet good in Saved. though that was an odd film

thinking of adding bad boys 2 to the list. tried watching it three times today and each time keep stopping. maybe because its too predictable. Not sure though as there are some cool scenes in it

 

[Grandma Death]

The Village. Fucking awful film that I kept at because I know the director likes a good twist. It wasnt-it was a fucking steaming dog turd.

 

[Dante]

Rockstar:appaling Almost Famous Rip off

 

[TheNegotiator]

MARS ATTACKS


tis was funny but completely and utterly stupid

 

[Reno]

MARS ATTACKS


tis was funny but completely and utterly stupid

As a parody of tacky 50's alien invasion films and comics it was supposed to be stupid and if you found it funny, how does that make it a "worst film" ?

 

[Dante]

Eragon - wtf? how can you make dragons so crap? dragons rock, this film is a pile of smelly dwarf chainmail

Smokin Aces: i have no idea whats going on

Big SOmething: Sean Pegg cant do an american accent and david scwimmer cant afct (ok, he was alright in Uprising, but thats all)

 

[Termite Man]

MARS ATTACKS


tis was funny but completely and utterly stupid

I really like Mars Attacks .
