Thread: Worst Movies of All Time

  1. #1

    Default Worst Movies of All Time

    Now that the Awards for The Good Stuff have been handed out . . .
    (And in light of the related threads this Oscar season) . . .

    How about The WORST Movies of All Time?

    This is my short list:

    Battlefield Earth
    (Starring Vinnie Barbarino in Klingon makeup. Bad Klingon makeup.
    The Scientology behind it is probably accurate.)

    Exorcist II: The Heretic
    (Richard Burton on crack or some other mind-altering substance.
    As a priest. In a tinfoil hat. Fighting demons.)

    The Skydivers
    ("The only film about parachute jumping without parachute jumping."
    A Mystery Science Theater Klassic.)

    Red Zone Cuba [a.k.a. "Night Train to Mundo Fine"]
    (Fidel Castro lasted this long in Cuba primarily because of this film.
    The best part is John Carradine's rendition of the theme song, which should provide a clue to its badness.)

    The Day the Earth Froze
    (Proof positive that there are bad Scandinavian directors.
    And in which we are introduced to the mystery of The Sampo.
    A mystery that remains unto this day despite repeated viewings.)

    There are no "wrong" answers . . .
    Except maybe Citizen Kane.
    (Or Plan 9 From Outer Space)

    I suppose the Twilight films go without saying?

  6. Default Re: Worst Movies of All Time

    not the worst movie of all time, but most disappointing has to be Avatar. Im a huge James Cameron fan too.

    Lots of terrible movies out there and although it's far from the worst, of the more recent films I found Love and Other Drugs shockingly horrible.

    Terrible idea, awful script... Why would two great young actors like Jack Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway sign on for this mess? Hathaway in particular was just painful to watch.

    A better question might be:
    Why would producers put up the money?

    My guess would be to get people hypnotized by TV/Cable Reality Shows
    into the theaters . . . In order to get "malled" by popcorn prices. =)

    (Perhaps a clue is provided in The Classic:
    "Walk Hard" starring that funny dude who played Dewey.)

    Water World

    If I were (or we was) keeping track . . .
    WaterWorld would be down there around number 16.
    With a bullet.

    Right next to a couple of other Kevin Costner presentations.
    (not including "Dances With Wolves").

    Still . . . There are no WRONG answers . . . =)

    Saw this when I was a kid and it scared the crap outta me:

    The Incredible Melting Man

    That just makes it "scary" . . .
    Not necessarily "bad" . . .
    (Like/as in/such as: "The Beast of Yucca Flats")

    However, having not viewed The Incredible Melting Man, I will add it to my Netflix list . . . =)

    Battlefield Earth still stands--at least in my humble opinion--as The Worst Movie Ever regardless of intention or result.
    (insert Theremin arpeggio c/o ????? =)

    "Nothing but trouble"

    You are all very wrong.

    The third worst movie of all time is: Gymkata
    US Olympic Gold Metalist Kurt Thomas stars as a secret agent/gymnast who merges gymnastics with karate to fight for freedom! A few well placed pommel horses help along the way.
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089243/

    The second worst movie of all time is: Never Too Young to Die
    John Stamos stars as the young son of James Bond who fights an evil genius warlord/hermaphrodite played by Gene Simmons. Yes, that’s right, Gene Simmons has breasts and he’s not afraid to show them to the world.
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091621/


    The worst movie of all time is: The Room.
    It’s not close, it’s by far the worst movie ever made. I can’t tell you what it’s about because it’s not really clear what it’s about. There’s this guy, and he has a girlfriend, and then he doesn’t.

    Is that ["Nothing but trouble"] an actual film title?
    Or is it simply a personal take, regarding a disappointing remake, of some old Walt Disney/Haley Mills flick? =)

    Cross-Postal Pre/Re-Write:
    The links are here c/o Swake (and welcome)
    Stay tuned for YouTube. =)

    To [Quote] Mel Brooks: "It's good to be [wrong]"

    (my only question would be how many actually "bad to worst" movies one can choose to view in a lifetime . . .
    i started paying attention to stuff like this back in about '57 and now i'm nearing 60 =)

    Angels and Cowboys. My friend thought this was one of the best movies ever and made the rest of our gang sit through it several times. It was by far the worst movie I have ever seen.

    I would probably agree with you.
    But that isn't the point. =)

    Glad you are still friendz.

    I actually found it on IMDb's Worst Movies of All Time listing so don't tell me I'm wrong, lol.

    As for Battlefield Earth, I love that movie! John Travolta, Forrest Whitaker & Barry Pepper...

    Yet . . . How does it compare with "Nothing But Trouble"?
    (are there, like, giant radioactive ants/aunts messing with the picnic and melting all over it? =)

    (for some reason, i just thought of "Smokey and The Bandit"....and its forebears/progeny)

    I don't think it's your job to criticize other people's picks. It's an opinionated thread based on his or her own liking. Your POV has nothing to do with ours. Just enjoy our choices.

    Do you agree?

    I change my choice. Freddie Got Fingered is the worse movie of all time. So bad I blocked it from memory.
