Nothing, and I mean NOTHING can compare to the dire atrocity of attempted movie making that is The Tree of Life, ironically the only movie to have angered me to death (I was resurrected by the love of a good woman and numerous Monty Python quotes) I could begin to explain how bad it was but I'd probably only die again from sheer rage.
What was the WORST movie you've ever seen?

I haven't actually watched this movie but I came across it the other day when on imdb and it just sounded so atrocious that I felt it deserved a mention here anyway.
Now I'm not the biggest fan of the 90s Titanic movie, partly because it just felt wrong to take a tragedy that killed so many and turn it into a backdrop for a pretty generic love story.
But there's also Titanic: The Legend Goes On... (2001) An animated retelling of James Cameron's version but with what sounds like a very very bad Disney coating and as one poster pointed out:
Like I said I maybe felt that Cameron's movie didn't give the loss of life the repsect it deserved but that's just my 2 cents and as a summer blockbuster it worked a treat. It's also not really fair to judge a movie before watching it but to be honest this one I actually find offensive.

Another movie I watched recently that was really great right up until the end and then it went down the tubes: Whiteout.
Great thriller, right up until she just let him walk out the door into the snowstorm!!!

Even the director admitted he made the mistake of copying 99% of the original 1960 film scene-by-scene (he thought it was a good idea at the time). He said he missed a golden opportunity to retell the classic horror movie that scared millions of people.

Crank (2006): Normally I'm a huge Jason Statham fan but this was just plain stupid...
Probably the most pointless movie ever made.
Will add Jarhead to the list.
Not a terrible movie, and well filmed. But it's completely pointless.
Plot: Group of young men sign up to be marines, go to Iraq, and come back without having done anything.
How can you have a protogonist who doesn't actually achieve anything?

I've been a H.G. Wells fan since I was a kid, and I had high hopes for this film, but those hopes were smashed to pieces by this hunk of fecal matter. I think even Mr Wells was spinning in his grave at 10,000 mph when this awful movie was released.

The only movie I have walked out of the cinema because it was just awful was :Meet the Flockers. Why I even walked in is another question!!!
I didn't even like Meet the Parents. More fool me for going to see the second one. The third one was out of the question.

Hi Tangaloombabe, I'm in Brisbane and you certainly are living in paradise over there. Do you still get the dophins coming in to feed?
Worst movie - hard to recollect, however after enjoying the first three Prophecy movies, the fourth one 'Uprising' was a severe disappointment.

The Piano.
No question, no contest. How bad was it? I own the DVD of Deathrace 2000 (1970's, carradine and stalone, get points for running people over) so you can see the level of my bad movie tolerance. If a DVD of The Piano enter my home, it would be automatically vaporised before it infected any of my collection.

I don't know...I thought Meet the Parents was ok, but I definitely didn't care for Meet the Fockers.
I haven't seen the third one, but when it came out, my parents, aunt, uncle and younger brother went to see it while I took my cousin and youngest brother to see Tangled. When we met up after the movies, they all said that they'd actually thought about walking out and joining us!
I liked both Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers. It was the third one I found to be a let-down. The third movie (whose title escapes me) lost a good bit of the comedy of the first two, as well as the interactions between the characters since they were separated for most of the movie.
My least favorite movie may well be "The Mists of Avalon". I had high hopes for it since it is one of my favorite books, but the movie pacing was very choppy, had poor casting (some of the characters were the wrong age), poor acting, and generally strayed far from the book story. About the only thing this movie had going for it were good sets and designs, very nice scenery, but that wasn't enough to make me want to rewatch it.

Why?
Seriously. I ask because I'm afraid to watch The Piano again. I remember it with great fondness from when it first came out. I saw it in the cinema and thought it was great. Somehow over the years I never got round to watching any of Jane Campion's other films until In The Cut a couple of months ago - which I thought was the most godawful piece of pretentious crap I'd seen in years (I've probably railed against it somewhere on this thread but I'm too lazy to look.) I daren't watch The Piano again in case it is the most pretentious wank and it destroys the memory of my enjoyment of it.

It was directed by Bert I. Gordon and starred Marjoe Gortner. You expected quality!?

As a young teen, I looked beyond Bert's name and eye-balled the cool looking movie poster. Plus the movie trailer was a short teaser with a great deal of hype, giant insects, super-sized chickens and huge hungry rats. Seemed cool at the time.
It was no worse than Shark Attack 3: Megalodon - A growling great white that can swallow a raft full of people and a guy on a jetski in one bite. I only saw hunks of the film, but that was enough to avoid this movie...forever.
The thrid one was called Little Fockers, and although I was pretty much against the first two (and also the third) it did make me chuckle a few times.
Is there a word for when you laugh at something you know you shouldn't and so you get annoyed with yourself for laughing, some kind of angry laugh?

If there is, it's bound to be German and have fifteen syllables.
