OT: Top 5 worst movies you actually saw in a theater
- Thread starter Westcoast
- Start date
The worst movie ever: Paternity starring Burt Reynolds who thought just being Burt Reynolds was funny and entertaining but it really really wasn't. Walked out. Would have walked out on it if I saw it on an airplane.
There are movie scenes that I think are just about perfect in conveying a decadent imageMay I have the password please, sir.
I'm dizzy^^
This is one...
... I particularly like the bar scene in "from dusk to dawn", up to the point it goes full zombie
The Pokeman movie. I took my then young kids to see it. I was a little hung over and tired from the night before. I ended up falling asleep 5 minutes into the movie and woke up during the closing credits.
The Greatest Showman. It was my wife's suggestion and I thought it would be the history of the Ringling Bros Circus. Of course I didn't read the reviews at all or else I would have known it was a DAMN musical.
The Matrix Reloaded was so bad it made my irrationally angry. I started rewriting it on the walk to the parking lot. I have tried to block out that there ever were Matrix sequels, though the Animatrix was pretty good as a companion anthology.
I've seen a lot of bad movies but not many in theaters. But the ones that come to mind that I remember are:
Freddy Got Fingered
Blair Witch Project
Alexander

Can't believe that Avatar made somebodies list. One of my favorite sci-fi movies. I didn't see it in a theater, but would have walked out on Nomadland.
Street Fighter
Showgirls
Striptease
Speed 2
Pluto Nash
Battlefield Earth
Beverly Hills Ninja

If I'm not mistaken (going off 20 year old memories), compared to "Digimon: The Movie", that Pokemon movie was high art.
It was on my list because it was horrifically bad. 1970's American Indian stereotypes painted blue, cartoonishly ridiculous bad guys spouting the worst bad guy dialogue ever written, the plot stolen from Dances With Wolves, etc, I could go on.
I actually laughed out loud in the theatre when the over the top bad military industrial complex guys were slaughtering the American Indians (sorry aliens), and they had the blue space horse that was on fire run across the screen in slow motion.
Just a horrible movie.
The Pallbearer - my girlfriend at the time wanted to see it because she was a big David Schwimmer fan. I still can't believe I paid for two people to watch that sh***y movie.
Yeah, I forgot about that one. Possibly Marilu Henners only film role after Taxi?
Lee Marvin was the Sgt. if I recall correctly.
Godfather 3.
After 1&2 I had high hopes it would be a great one.
It might not be the worst movie I ever went to see, but it's the most disappointing one
because of my expectations when went to see it on the big screen

Any Will Ferrel movie. Can't get more stupid.
Howard the Duck was a classic!! I watched it on DVR again a few months ago.
Now that one I recall seeing at the Brook Theater in Bound Brook as a kid. Great movie!
Walked out of the Aviator. Long, boring and a guy with OCD drinking milk.
@MulletCork I walked out of Purple rain at the Brook Theater. Simply awful Prince pushing his father made me die laughing he looked like a girl.

classic example of really good trailer/ad.. that one scene where the girl is shuddering in fear seemed so good.. but it was the ONLY thing that could have been scary.. and, in hte context of a whole movie instead of the ad.. it was NOT.
My Wife was pregnant with our first child and the jittery camera work did not help with her morning sickness. So much so she had to leave for the bathroom for a bit and only stayed in the back while standing for the rest of it.
She still reminds me on occasion that I didn't check up on her. LOL
Agree.... wasn't commenting that it was a bad movie, just that Mark Hamill had more than one non-Star Wars movies. :-)
There are many, many bad movies which I refused to waste money on in a movie theater. But for those I did see, I've got 3 so far:
Coming At Ya! - a 3D western which was truly god awful
Ishtar - over hyped, it had Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman, god what a turkey
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring - caveat: I'm a huge Tolkien fan. Hated the movie, the fact they changed the story line, cut out huge parts, added in new stuff and introduced standard fantasy clichés. Refused to see any of the other movies. On that note, how could you take a single story, the Hobbit, and make 3 moves out of it?
One movie which was so bad it was hilarious, another manager and I gave our teams the afternoon off on the Friday it opened to go see it (and, yes, we expensed it), was Mars Attacks!

Are you ready for four more of them coming out? Yeah, that's right, they're not making one or two sequels, they are making four of them. Coming out in 2022, 2024, 2026 and 2028.
Sideways.
I just didn't get it. Might be because my GF and I don't drink. We luck out, though, and didn't have to walk out . There was a fire or bomb scare and we had to evacuate and got free tix (for a different movie, of course).
Deep Throat.
Drive-in with 2 screens on opposite sides of the field. We turned the car around to watch the other movie.
Borat.
The movie we wanted to see was sold out. Then my 12 year old daughter's friends says " I heard Borat is funny"!
Not good.
4 and 5? I'll need some more time.
