    Worst Movies of All Time
    Cal823 started an interesting thread about favorite movies. I made note of some I haven't seen and it was fun to see what people chose.

    My question for you today is: What are the movies you believe are the worst? I don't mean kind of crappy or a bad adaptation of a book - I mean which movies do you feel like you lost part of your life to?

    Two that come immediately to mind for me are:

    Battlefield Earth and

    Tarzan, the Ape Man


    Please share your warnings, um I mean suggestions.

    Alexander (the Great) with Colin Farrell took a big junk of my life but the popcorn was good, I just can't get over how bad he looked on that horse yelling 'on bucephalus! ' I liked the horse though.

    The Blair Witch Project

    The Blair Witch Project 2 (Dont ask me why I watched the second one, the first one was so terrible)

    That Britney Spears movie Crossroads.

    The Last Samurai... Borrrrring!

    Epic Movie

    Date Movie

    All of the Scary Movies except the first one, that one was pretty funny.

    One more, now nobody get offended! Promise? Lol.. ok... The Passion of the Christ. I'm sure it would have been an awesome story had I been able to watch it, I was spending the whole time reading the captions. :)

    Urban legend (shouldve known when our teen said it was great)... what a wasted rental

    Wife hated requiem for a dream, but only because it just kept spiraling into depression and never got better.

    I know there's more...

    I absolutely love pulp fiction, but my wife hated reservior dogs (same director)... too much "mindless" violence for her... my only complaint is that it ruined "stuck in the middle with you" for me... sort of...

    She also hated the kill bill duo, but, while it wasn't his best work, I thought it a fine mindless indulgence of a director who has made his money, albeit with non mainstream stuff, and now just wants to make whatever the hell he pleases. Kung fu spaghetti movie? Sure. He's got the cred.

    But she hated the first and wouldn't watch the second kill bills.

    On that note, I hated his "from dusk till dawn"... the only redeeming factor was salma's sexy dance on the table.

    One movie that immediately came to my mind, although it is older than those mentioned,
    My Dinner With Andre. Pretentious. Boooooooooooring.

    When Harry Met Lloyd

    Son of The Mask

    The Royal Tenenbaums--me and my friend thought it was a complete waste of time & money since we saw it in theatres.

    28 Days Later--my brother and I asked for our money back when we saw this in theatres, and we did get it back.

    The Neverending Story III--I'm a HUGE fan of the first movie, and loved the second one, but this had nothing to do with the first two and was incredibly boring.

    The Seed of Chucky--this movie was so ridiculous! I saw it with my brother and we both were like "what is this crap?!" We were hoping for a true Chucky horror flick, and it came out to be almost like a comedy. Worst of all the movies.

    The Royal Tannenbaums was OK... the movie he did before that one was better (Rushmore)

    Little Children - (If you haven't seen it NOTHING HAPPENS, I know this gets said a lot, but it's true the movie begins, there are a few interesting story lines but in the end everything goes back to the way it started)

    The Wicker Man - It was so predictable what the ending would be.

    The last Matrix movie - They could have done so much more with it.

    Well, the dog woke me up the other night around 3 a.m. to go outside. I was not a happy camper. Couldn't get back to sleep so started watching the boob tube. I found this movie that I had never heard of and wish I still hadn't. It is called Forbidden Zone and stars Herve Villechaiz. OMG, worst movie I have seen in a long, long, time. Maybe if I was doing drugs I might have appreciated it. Bizarre & freakish doesn't even begin to describe it.

    eventually someone will rip my head off for this... but the never ending story... OMGSH! IF I COULD KILL THAT MOVIE I WOULD DO IT! I slept through it 5 times and for every time I slept through it someone tried to make me watch it. We had to watch it in grade 3... and I took a meeting with our principal over watching that GOD AWFUL movie.
    Another movie I hated was Innerspace... watched it with my mom and begged her to give me back the hour and a half that movie sucked out of mylife.
    FREEWILLIE! Ugh... hated that movie. But at school (grade 5 this time) I had to watch it. I chose sitting in the hall for like the whole day over watching that movie.
    The movies I hated but loved all at the same time:
    •ET (just because)
    •Bambi (because Bambi's mom dies
    •Old Yeller (because he gets shot)

    I thought all those Chuckie movies were pretty lame.
    Space troopers sucked also.

    Yes, I was referring to the newer Wicker Man (spoiler alert! ), just somehow with the way the men were treated I knew right away that they wanted to kill him, and surprise, that's what happened. They could have done something with it like have him figure it out and poison their water supply or some such.

    I had nooo clue they were goingto burn him. But then again, I might have been ignoring it, because i love Nicholas Cage so much,<3:p

    Well there were clues, his ex claimed they were going to burn the kid. But as he's trying to find the girl everyone is pretending she doesn't exist, and pretending really badly, it was obvious they were trying to keep him on the island searching. I don't know, I pretty much figured it out right away by the fact that his ex, the kid's mom, basically was not helping him find the girl at all.

    I don't dislike very many movies, except for the horrible made for TV movies. But one movie I can't stand is Snatch, the one with Brad Pitt in it. They talk in such strong accents I can't figure out what they are saying without captions, and then the whole storyline is out of order, so its so hard to follow it just gives me a headache. And of course its my boyfriend's top favorites!
