Any drama (not comedy) staring Meryl Streep.....................booooooring
OT: Top 5 worst movies you actually saw in a theater
- Thread starter Westcoast
- Start date
I miss drive ins. The last movie I saw in a drive in was Back to School at the Ocean (?) Drive In
Kramer vs.Kramer ?????
Excellent movie although her role was more of a supporting one.
Funny that some of the movies on other people's list would be on my list of favorites. Those would include:
Starship Troopers (You gotta go with the camp.)
A River Runs Through It (A case where the book is really better. Met the guy who wrote it.)
Joe vs the Volcano (Again, gotta go with the camp. Some great lines.)
Ishtar (This gets a bad rep I think. Warren Beatty as the nerd and Dustin Hoffman as the cool guy was great. A lot of good lines in this movie.)
The Greatest Showman (A couple of great songs.)
Howard the Duck (Stupid movie, but I love Lea Thompson.)
Earth Girls Are Easy (This is a great movie. Bunch of stars and really funny.)
Movies I hate:
Meet the Parents
Birdman (Not Birdman of Alcatraz. I liked that one.)
Chinatown
Ordinary People
Lost in Translation
Silver Linings Playbook
La La Land
Solaris
(I particularly disliked these movies because they were supposed to be good. I dislike movies like Borat and Meet the Fockers, but to me, those are easy to dislike.)

I always got the sense Mars Attacks was intended to be a campy B movie. (Mission accomplished.)
But I will say anything else from Tim Burton is usually pretentious trash. Case in point his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake. Why anyone would even try to remake that classic is beyond me.
Agree that LOR movies were disappointing from stand point of keeping faithful to books. Biggest complaint was making dwarfs clownish in some of the scenes. Also hate adding characters and plot lines that did not exist in the books. That being said, they weren’t terrible but could have been much better. I usually find a movie doesn’t do justice to a book.

Conspiracy theory
Day after tomorrow
Star Trek the motion picture
Star Treks 5 & 6
Star Wars 1 - 3
Last Action Hero. Great cameos were the only highlight of this dreadful movie.

There are literally dozens of stupid and pointless disaster movies out there but this one was not only full of BAD science, but stupidly political. In 2021 speak “injustice” would have been part of its title.
I did, however, use it as a “find the bad science” exercise if my old meteorology class! It was full of not only bad meteorology, but bad physics! 😉
... Along with the blonde T-Bird from Grease, Louis from Revenge of the Nerds, and the zoot suit dancer from 1941.
The Brook!
I saw Jaws, Saturday Night Fever, Foul Play, and The Blues Brothers there!
Dad was a regular at The Town Tavern.
The Talented Mr. Ripley
The guy with the "talent" should have worked on this movie

Silver Linings Playbook?
Really? I thought that was great.
I wish I could name a movie I saw at that Easton Ave (Somerset) cinema sometime in the mid 80s. So bad I cannot even remember the name. I can tolerate a lot of bad stuff if it provided *something*.. but this thing.. had absolutely nothing. I cannot even remember what it was supposed to be.. cannot begin to track down what the hell it was.
This morning I remembered Eat the Rich.
Awful film I sat through once, but I enjoyed Motörhead’s contribution:

There was one I was trying to remember, saw it at RU with my crew, couldn't even remember who was in it, but just remembered the denouement. Just came to me, The Evil That Men Do starring Charles Bronson. I even forgot he was in it. Just a horrible, forgettable movie.
I forgot Bo
I guess I can see why people might not love The English Patient, but I really liked it when I saw it.

I can barely remember a moment of it. It put me into some form of a pain-coma, and I just rode it out like someone hunkered down in the face of a hurricane. It was just awful.
At least I was able to laugh at Blood Beach.
Sausage Party? It was just goofy and not funny, made only worse by how edgy it thought it was but wasn't. I was suprised given the funny stuff that had come from those guys in the past.
Flashdance - Saw it as a kid in the theater because my friend's mom wanted to see it but couldn't dump us off anyplace else. Boring drek except for the scene where she takes off her bra under her shirt.
Battlefield Earth - Saw this one because the kid wanted to see it. Total crap.
Meet Joe Black - Pitt in Death Takes A Holiday. Saw it on a first date and actually fell asleep. For almost all 3 hours of it.
Natural Born Killers - People who like this movie and make excuses for it are idiots who scare the piss out of me.
Weiner Dog - Didn't see it in a theater but it might be the only movie that made me stand up and yell ' oh F you for wasting my time' at the screen. Just amazing garbage packaged as high art

I remember being bored to tears watching the Robert Redford, Mia Farrow version of The great Gatsby

Well we all know about your sense of taste...
But there have been a couple mentioned here that I liked: Corvette Summer, saw it as a kid and I'm a car guy; Starship Troopers (had a great trailer that I can never find now); Last Action Hero.
I am surprised that only one person mentioned the Godfather part III. It opened on Christmas day with the first show being at noon, and I was the first in line. I did not expect to be the equal of the first two, but I did not expect it to be horrendous either. I wanted to walk out in about two minutes; the moment Anthony Corleone told Michael Corleone that he would “never be like” him you knew the plot was going to suck.
I am surprised that someone listed “Seven brides for seven Brothers.” One dance number alone would have made that movie worthwhile. Russ Tamblyn was great. The fact that the plot was silly didn’t hurt the movie; it was just part of the genre.

Ted - awful movie Seth MacFarlane voiced bear with Mark Wahlberg
Sausage Party - seemed like a good idea until it wasn't
Gas, Food, Lodging - art film that was torture
There's Something about Mary - Just dumb
The Shape of Water - so very weird it was laughable by the end

Judge Dredd. The theatre in Middletown was on the way out and we knew the girl at the entrance who let us in free...so fortunately didn't pay to see that awful movie.
