There are plenty of movies around, some we find excellent, some we think great, some maybe good, some ok, some boaring, and well you know there are those really bad ones that shouldn't have made the shelves.


Which movie have you seen that is really crap and why?



I thought jaws was a bad film, but Tyrannosaurus Wrecks was crap. The dinosaur effects were so poor i's get more excitement from a 2 year old. Acting was horrible, i'd rather sit down and watch jaws.

I haven't seen it, nor would I. I'm sorry to all the Rocky fans out there, but this latest talk of Sylvester Stallone making another Rocky sequel - well hooley dooley! he can't be that desperate for money?? Can he???

I've seen so many bad ones, some I don't even want to remember the name... But one of the worst, I could not even watch all of it, I tried, twice, was...................Mod Squad. I remember the TV show when I was a kid, it probably sucked too but I don't remember it that way.

The worst,most evil,most shocking,most scary movie I have ever seen,and never wish to see again was the cinema version of the Exocist.Even after 30 odd years,when I think about it ,the hairs on the back of my neck still stand up.The TV version was tame in comparison to the cinema version.

I saw the Exorcist at the drive in when it finally made it there. We were all ready to be scared, and drunk, but it made us laugh. I guess our imagination was worse than what the movie showed. Most people I know feel the same way you do DSTM.

But, don't forget "Plan 9 From Outer Space!" It was soooo bad, I love it. They try so hard to be serious and it cracks me up. Another bad one I love is "Attack Of The Killer Tomato's". I own both of those. hysterical.gif

Ah yes, that movie scared the pooey out of me! In fact, I remember spending the last 1/2 of it with my head tucked down inside my turtle-neck sweater!

But the one that had the most lasting impact on me back then was 'Deliverance' - in fact, even though life is different now, I still can't watch the re-runs on TV and still feel a bit sick when I hear that banjo music.

Garfield 2 was a sad second movie.
Fun with dick and jane was no fun.

Thats about it.

I think the movie that disappointed me most has to be The Blair Witch Project. OMG, it still passes me off! Some friends and I put off seeing this "horribly scary" movie until Friday the 13th, we went and laughed and laughed for hours afterword. We felt ROBBED! The producers should have paid us to watch it... The add for it made it look so good too! the ad was actually scarier than the real thing.
DSTM
Two more movies which bored me to tears were,"Cabin Fever" and "A Perfect World"Absolute crap.How Kevin Costner could even take on a role like this in "A Perfect World"is beyond me.The last 30 mins,I was praying let it end and put us out of our misery. clapping.gif
no one
The first movie that comes to mind as far as "they owe me 105 mins of my life back" is "Zardoz" I've started to watch it 4-5 times on TV and have never been able to stay awake through all of it, the perfect cure for insomnia. The "Blair Witch Project" I was one of the "will someone Please hurry up and kill her so she'll quit screaming already " types , sorry it was as scary as watching paint dry for me.

I kinda liked "a perfect world" smile.gif to each his own I guess
sq2
The worst movie of all times has to be... Pee Wee's Big Adventure clapping.gif
Izzy
i remember that stupid killer tomatoes movie, that was so pathetic, i remember a steven king movie, can't remember the title but it went for the longest running time ever, 11 minutes, i paid $4 for an over night movie for 11 minutes, all it was was somebody walking down the hallway to the bathroom and killed someone and that was it, how it got made and released i'll never know, it must have been an 80s movie if you call it a movie.....maybe a short....

Agreed,The "Blair Witch Project" was a non believeable shocker in my opinion.I'm sitting there saying all the time,I wish somebody would shut that woman up,and my wife kept saying,I wish someone would shut you up so I can listen to the movie. hysterical.gif Still laugh about it now.
Why on earth would you scream at the top of your voice,when one of you has allready disappeared,and you are being stalked by something unknown?
I would have thought the wisest thing to do would be as quiet as a mouse.Stupid Movie in my opinion.

Indepedence day (film), because its predictable bad story and its very poor acting.
Izzy
i wouldn't say independence day was such a bad film but Will Smith acted like a dick though....glad he was better with i Robot.

It could have been a lot better, I mean, what are the chances that an alien world would have it's computers run with Apple software? Very predictable ending, had a lot of possibilities tho. blink.gif

I'm probably the only person in the world who thinks this, but, just about all the Bruce Lee movies were real bad. Come on, flying through the air? Never getting tired or out of breath when fighting across the country side? laugh.gif

I wouldn't say I love Bruce Lee movies, but I did grow up watching them. I love Sonny Chiba movies tho. Watched those a lot when I was a kid as well. The only thing I can't stand about foreign language-speaking martial arts movies is when they are dubbed. I hate hearing them talk knowing their not the ones speaking English!! hysterical.gif

Please don't watch Miami Vice. Recently, I had the pleasure to watch this movie and it is the worst I have ever seen in a long time. The plot is the most confusing and the script is poorly written. My friends and I left the theatre early, along with many others.

OMG I thought the same thing about that movie. It was so horrible I totally forgot about it until now!! lmfao.gif
All I was thinking was 'Is someone gonna die soon, cause I'm bored.'
I didn't have the sense to walk out on the movie, I thought the ending has to be awesome if the movie was so boring. It was disappointing. I watched Miami Vice when I was a kid and thought the show was awesome, the movie, well

Rent

Take a bus load of 16/17/18year olds and only PG movies are allowed ( blink.gif ) and let's see what happens...

(this in fact happened on a 3 hour bus trip from my area to Columbus. All I have to say, everyone was looking for mp3 players and headphones to tap into.)

I say if you want to torture the terrorists in Cuba, have them watch Rent.

525,600 minutes...

i thought The Break Up was extremely painful. my wife made me watch most of the movie, and i thought it was completely horrible. these poor people were so unhappy with each other. there was very little comedy, and it was simply not entertaining.

Starship Troopers was pretty crappy too.
arcman
I think the reigning king of horrible movies is still Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Furthermore I think every movie studio should have a "MST3K" division. If during a prescreening the film is determined to be a stink-bomb, the studio releases two versions, the regular movie and a version mocked in MST3K fashion. This way they can't lose. Even if the movie is a crapfest, people will pay to hear it made fun of.
Constantine
I have seen some great movies; Casablanca, The Godfather, Alien, Singin in the Rain, Terminator, The Maltese Falcon, and some of Quentin Tarantino's movies.

Then there are the ones I walked out on; Uncle Tom's Cabin and Bad Boys II come to mind.

I also agree with DSTM about the Exorcist...very scary. Another scary movie, but in a suspenseful way was "When a Stranger Calls"
BlackSpyder
Vampire Assassin was horrible, Blair Witch was bad, The Grudge was bad too (although I liked Ju-on the original Japanese version)
Cozy
The Blair Witch Project - 10 minutes of watching and I couldn't stand it anymore.

Reindeer Games - I was at my friends house when I watched this one. I think I feel asleep, it was just so stupid and boring. My friend and her family all agreed it was a poor movie.

Jack Frost - Really dumb.

Deep Blue Sea - Just stupid.
Ohh but one that is pretty awesome which is called just Deep Blue was really good. It's about the creatures that live in the sea, there are some pretty amazing beautiful ones wayyyyy below. If your into that kind of stuff I recommend watching it. thumbup.gif

I can't remember what other ones there were, but i'll post again if I do.
tink536
The only part that was awesome in Deep Blue Sea was when the shark jumped up and ate Samuel L. Jackson. That part was hilarious. lmfao.gif
Izzy

Mannnn Constantine, I couldn't disagree more, Bad Boys 2 was an excellent movie, and When A Stranger Calls has to be one of the dumbest most predictable not scary movies I've ever seen.

Lol sorry to be abrupt about it.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Holy smokes AA hysterical.gif , that truly looks like a waste of resources, even the sugar it took someone's brain to come up with it!
ComputerWhizz7
Alien vs. Predator was a crap movie in my option but it did not have enough action plus it ended to soon because you just get into the movie and it ends. I dislike movies like that dry.gif .
BlackSpyder
Midnight Mass good book by F. Paul Wilson but a very bad movie

the Dracula Trilogy by Wes Craven (2000 was good but 2 and 3 where horrible)
no one
Manos: the Hands of Fate (not even worth watching on MST300)
Turi
I hated Saw, it was just....ew terrible

I haven't found a horror movie I like yet (that is, one that scares me)

And movies like The breakup and 10 Things I Hate About You disgust me to tears haha

Animal Factory was dung too.

And Termintor movies...what ARE they for?? For which reason do they even exist? haha
Ryan 3000
RoboCop and that one movie with the robotic tripods that chased people thru the desert and gored them with different stuff.

Turi, people watch terminator because they like gore and matter-of-factly speaking robots.
Turi
I should have known...

Gore's good, see my 10 movies. Gore I don't mind. But...oh I dunno.. maybe it's my dyspraxic mind which can't understand the reason
Ryan 3000
LMFAO Santa Claus Conquers the Martians? No wonder drugs became illegal.
Turi
I had to watch The Devil Wears Prada yesterday,boo to that!

And Paradise Lost the day before. Not too sure about that. Rather...slow and repetitive, the only good scenes filmed in pitch black
mz30
the worst film i have ever seen was called final approach it was that bad i had to stop myself gluing my eyes shut.
now i have seen some bad movies in my time but this takes the biscuit it was so ,so bad
here the link to a page about it
final approach
Turi
"It's major selling point at the time was that it was the first film with Digital sound."

Haha what a selling point
bilko
Allmost all British movies belong in this section.

All American remakes of good Eastern horror movies, The Ring and Grudge to name two.

Most American WW11 movies that make it look like they won the war single handed and did all the heroic and notable deeds.

Anything with 1 charactrer Jim Carrey in it.

And now for specifics.

Battlefield Earth (i think, if its the sci-fi with John Travolta)

Dungeons & Dragons 2

Cabin Fever

Roller Ball (the remake)

The Wicker man (remake)

Got some more but they so bad ive forgotten the names.

Turi
British ones??

Well I guess the non-English wouldn't understand the humour behind our movies.

Take for eg Lock, Stock and Snatch, both movies my Irish frirends don't like, but the British (Some of) fawn over. hmm

Oh I hate American love stories/high-school movies/horrors
Joe_Brett
Lock Stock & Snatch are both great films...

I don't really like Green Street as it is too americanized on the world of Football Violence!
Turi
Agreed.

Have you ever compared Mean Machine and The Longest Yard?? The latter is just an American knock-off of the previous! ngggh!

the longest yard is a remake of the 1974 film the longest yard hence the mean machine was a knock off of that movie.the original was actually called mean machine here in england and was much better than both the remakes.
MC MITCHIE
all the chrismas carols theres about 20 remakes

I love slapstick comedies. But Robin Hood: Men in Tights sucked royally. tv_horror.gif
And Frankenstein Unbound. axesmiley.png
Cold Creek Manor was unthrilling to say the least.
The Quick and the Dead was one big cliche` and predictably stupid.
Enough and Gigli with JLo. We could so do without.
Glitter with Mariah Carey. And this one here. nono.gif Definitely shouldn't have been made.
