OT: Top 5 worst movies you actually saw in a theater
- Thread starter Westcoast
- Start date
Went to a movie theater in New Brunswick alone back in the 80s, it's not there any more. The movie was really good for the first five minutes and then I just wasn't interested anymore and left.

Conspiracy theory
Day after tomorrow
Star Trek V, VI and Nemesis
I see so few movies in the actual theater (last one was in 2017) that the bad ones really stand out

One of the stupidest movies of all time filled with even more bad science than usual…I was actually rooting for the poorly scienced ice age by the end…
interesting how many of these have become cult classics to some extent.... or even "re-discovered hidden gems"
I've walked out on several movies, but the one that immediately comes to mind is the Ladykillers (the remake). I'm a big Coen Brothers fan, and there were good actors in it, but it was so grating that I left in the first half hour.
I think it's the only Coen Brothers movie I haven't seen all the way through.
If we're doing five:
The Ladykillers
Godzilla, King of Monsters (my son and I actually had a good time making fun of the movie)
Titanic
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull (in a drive-in theater with the A-Team as a double feature)
Some that were so forgettable I can't remember the title
It was before my time, but I have a really hard time believing Deep Throat was screened at a Drive-In theater.

True, if I had seen it in a theater. Although they redeemed themselves with Wrath of Khan, I have to put Star Trek 1 on the list.
Ghandi. I don’t know if it really qualifies but it’s the only time I’ve ever fallen asleep in a movie theater.
A Man Named Horse. On a first date with this young chick that work for me. We were at the Iselin Drive In. So bad we just placed the speakers outside the car and closed the windows and found something else to do.
I Think It work out well. We were talking to
our 13 year old Grandson about the drive thru
movies and he was bewildered, he says how could see a movie from a car? That was fifty years ago.

Good Trek:
ST 2, 3, 4, Generations, First Contact, the fist two reboots
Bad Trek:
ST 1, 5, 6, Nemesis, Insurrection, Beyond
Maybe she misunderstood when you asked if she wanted to see 8 1/2?
I know the one you’re talking about: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.
Has the “Don’t mess with Earth!” line followed by “Song 2” by Blur
Something like: "They attacked us, bombed our cities, yada, yada. But on November 4th, they'll learn that they messed with the wrong species!"
1) 50 Shades of Gray- the dialogue was so bad we were laughing in the theater
2) Grownups 2- I tangibly felt those actors reaching into my wallet to steal my money
3) Uncut Gems- most overhyped POS movie by Adam Sandler
4) Bruno- nothing, I mean nothing was funny in this Sasha Baren Cohen s show
5)Florida Project- indie film that my wife dragged me to. As soon as the credits started to roll I said to her “ You owe me- big time”

Both of those, 2001 and 2010, were awesome. Totally loved them and own them on Vudu (I think it’s Vudu, at least).
Watched “Eye’s Wide Shut“ with my wife at the time. I really enjoyed it a lot. She hated it intensely. Talking about it with other couples at the time, there seemed to be a trend where most guys enjoyed it and most girls hated it.
I think the wives were all somewhat annoyed that a lot of the husbands apparently got turned on by the movie. 🤣
Ouch. We are definitely not gonna ever be movie buddies. I really liked all those. Although with Conspiracy Theory, it’s mostly about the song at the end.
The worst movie in the history of movie-making, and it’s really not close, is “Wicker Man”. The acting was epically awful. The screenplay was vomit-inducing. The plot was pure shit.
The ending made me want to blow up the whole planet on the theory that no civilization, that could conceive of and then commit a crime as heinous as that ending, should be allowed to survive to further devalue the universe.

The one with Nick Cage. Didn’t know there were two. But the fact that there were two tells me all I need to know about the depths to which humanity can sink. 🙂
First one was pretty good with Cage’s role played by Edward Woodward. Christopher Lee and a very naked Britt Ekland were also in the original.
