OT: The Worst Movie Ever

[MadRU]

A few listed here I actually liked. Billy Jack, Bill and Ted etc

One movie I turned off after 15 minutes was Napoleon Dynamite. Thought it was terrible.

 

[wheezer]

Power of the Dog is making a serious run for worst movie ever. I rarely ever turn off a movie, but 30 mins in (yes I actually made it that long) I just had to turn it off. With the pace of that movie the West would still be an ongoing battle.

I did not like the movie either, started to watch it a second time after the best pic nomination and still did not like it
I do think the lead cowboy was excellent in his role and seemed truly believable
So, this wins best picture and best actor anyway

 

[fg7321]

Punch Drunk Love

or The Heartbreak Kid

 

[RUInsanity]

Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure

Bill and Ted Face the Music was infinitely worse.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure

No way dude! That's bogus! That movie was excellent, righteous.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

I’ve only seen three of the movies mentioned in this thread, which appears to have been a stroke of good fortune. The three are:

Thelma & Louise (liked it)

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (liked it)

Napoleon Dynamite (loved it)

 

[NewJerseyGuy]

Why are they so many negative, worst threads? Why do so many focus on the bad? There just seems to be a lot anger, sadness, and confusion.

Why play blues guitar?

Or listen to a sad song?

It’s a broken world.

 

[NewJerseyGuy]

The English Patient

It’s torture.

 

[koleszar]

It's going to win the Oscar for best picture.

Yes, gay cowboys is a winning recipe with the Oscar's. If you hit certain talking points or social agenda target areas the critics will love you for it. Still doesn't make it a good movie.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

I've learned to avoid the bad ones, but saw many stinkers over the years.
How much time ya got,

How to get Ahead in Advertising
Any stupid parody movies Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc.
The Happening, The Village
Inception
Rocky 5
Any reimagining, remaking, or sequels of classic movies from the 70s and 80s in the last 10 years or so, too many to count.
Found it recently- "Rollergator", so bad that it wasn't funny
Baby Geniuses 1 & 2
Agree with Troll 2, I watch many B, C, D level, low budget horror
Hobgoblins, knock off Gremlins, Mac N Me, knock off ET, and any other knock off of the real film made in the last 30 years or so.

Hard to remember all of them.

 

[BLewis1968]

In all honesty "The Room" is really the worst movie ever made, but I don't think it counts if it's so bad it's becomes entertaining.

I know! And it’s crazy because Room is awesome, and THE Room is hot trash

 

[AntiG]

Has this not been mentioned?

WW84! Other than the fact that Gal Gadot is eye candy for you hetero boys literally everything about this disaster is bad…EVERYTHING!

eh the Joss Whedon version of Justice League was worse lol

Batman & Robin might have been worse too, if not for Arnold as Mr. Freeze making terrible puns all day saving that film.

 

[AntiG]

Star Wars episode 9. Criminally offensive. People should have been banned from Hollywood for that travesty

I concur. Maybe the worst film I've ever seen.

 

[AntiG]

i remember Mars Attacks being unbelievably bad, but maybe I was too young back then to understand the comedy.

 

[runrutgersrun]

Out of Africa.

 

[CERU00]

I want to say Heaven's Gate but I never saw it and never met anyone who did. It was such a disaster United Artists was sold and ceased to exist as a movie maker.
Directed by Michael Cimino. This was his next movie after winning the Oscar for perhaps the best movie ever. The Deer Hunter.
Many of the movies listed in this thread are Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes.

Deer Hunter best movie ever? Surely you jest.

 

[CERU00]

Troop Zero

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

The Adventures of Chris Ash

 

[mildone]

“Wicker Man”, with Nicholas Cage, started bad then descended, continuously for the entire length of the movie, into a vomit-inducing awfulness that has never been matched by any other bad movie. I only kept watching it because of the fascinating decay that never ceased until the closing credits.

I’ve never seen any other movie where it became exponentially worse, minute by minute, from start to finish.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Guys...I've seen A LOT of the movies listed in this thread....TRUST ME....watch this flick for not even 10-minutes and you'll agree lol!!!

 

[anon_ivydyf0amkzay]

Batman & Robin might have been worse too, if not for Arnold as Mr. Freeze making terrible puns all day saving that film.

A lot of suckage to go around…clearly

 

[RUInsanity]

Worst Movie - Caddyshack 2
Runner-up - Pluto Nash

Bad Movies that I still love and will watch anyway.....

Dude Where's My Car
Bill / Ted Bogus Journey
Grandma's Boy
Joe Dirt
Demolition Man
Last Action Hero
Next of Kin / Road House

In the top 10 IMHO. Everyone has different tastes.

For a guy who has been the star of many memorable movies; he's also been the lead on way too many terrible movies.

 

[Kbee3]

The Green Berets.

Very true.

I generally find him to be a pretty bad actor, often overacting. Kind of the same way I view Tom Cruise, actually. But, like Cruise, Cage's bad acting still somehow works for certain characters in some movies (e.g. Con Air, The Rock, National Treasure). Not that they were "good", per se. But they were (for me, at least) enjoyable viewing experiences.

Lucky for all the bad actors out there, we humans have an immense capacity to suspend reality when being entertained. No political pun intended.

That's one of those movies it's so bad it's funny.

Worst Movie - Caddyshack 2
Runner-up - Pluto Nash

Sorry, but I don't consider Pluto Nash to be a runnerup.

 

[WhichReligionIsRight]

The Green Berets.

If we're going with bad John Wayne movies, I have to go with him playing Ghengis Khan.

 

[rutger80]

Eraserhead--early David Lynch.
Most bizarre thing I've ever seen.

Excellent choice.

Definitely a contender.

 

[colbert17]

Punch Drunk Love

or The Heartbreak Kid

The Heartbreak Kid? I hope you mean the remake because the original in 1972 with Charles Grodin, Cybill Sheperd and Eddie Albert was funny as hell. She was only 21 years old in this movie.
FYI - Mrs. Roper from Three's Company played the mom.

 

[colbert17]

One that no one has mentioned.
Batman and Robin
A Joel Schumacher disaster.

Agree with a lot of these but I thought Inception was a pretty good movie.

LOL no I mean the original one . Hated it....

 

[RU#1fan]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

 

[colbert17]

Could go down as one of the worst miscastings in movie history. Right up there with Edward G.Robinson in The Ten Commandments.

 

[mildone]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

😱

That was a great movie.

 

[mildone]

You’re right, inception was pretty good.

Batman and Robin

i mentioned it earlier but pointed out that its only saving grace was Arnold's brilliant performance as the wise-cracking punster Mr. Freeze.
