What was the WORST movie you've ever seen?

8mm. I hate Nicholas Cage and this is just the stupidest film. I didn't know whether to walk out or what. Just violently bad!
 
Tough question .
Prob the highest profile film I`ve had the un pleasure of watching (lo paying for) is
Lost In Translation . shockin .
 
Space Truckers was the worst movie I have ever seen and I didn't totally hate it or anything but it was topped by the remake of I Spit On Your Grave which I thought would at least be campy and fun but was really lame, but it did have a pretty cool box cover. ;)

I didn't like it either. Then I lived in China and Thailand for 4 years. I could really relate to it after that...the isolation...the quirkiness of it all...

Event Horizon. I'm surprised I watched it to the end.

More than I did.

Currently my contenders for the worst film I have seen (for a bit) are Ninja Dragon and Ninja Terminator two 'films' made by taking pre-existing Asian gangster films... and adding new footage to them (of Ninjas) which looks like it was shot in hotel bedrooms.

I suspect it's Ninja Dragon that's going to win.I had no idea what was supposed to be going on for most of the running time but the Shanghai poker game sequence that opens the film is one of pure cinematic genius. I've watched that sequence several times over the last couple of weeks now (it's like a scab that you just can't help picking; it's horrible) and I am still unable to explain why the gangsters have little flags in front of them on the table or where all the toy cars that suddenly appear come from - or what they're for.

Onn the other hand, Ninja Terminator does have a Ninja answering a Garfield telephone...
 
I can't stand the new Anna Karenina (2012). It looks a cheap Hollywood production in every way. The worst to be Keira Knightly, she is totally out of the character. The acting is generally terrible to watch and the adaptation for such an emotionally charged masterpiece turned out passionless and pathetic. Whata waste.
 
I am aware that i will probobly get stuff thrown at me for this one, but Titanic (1998)is a film that I wish to forget I ever saw. Overblown, Overhyped, and overlong. What was worse is that my girlfriend at the time loved it, and I had to sit through it several times at the cinema. Thankfully I had perfected the art of falling asleep by the time Kate Winslett tuned up on screen by the third viewing.

I will go one further I can't stand a single film (that I have seen) directed by Paul W. S. Anderson - with the possible exception of Soldier. Frenetic sh** the lot of them.

Soldier only survives because of an amazing performance by Kurt Russell in which he does as near to nothing as he can for 90 minutes and makes it compelling.

I didn't like it either and I hate the song!
 
Some peculiar choices here... how can critically-acclaimed award winning films also be the worst movie you've seen? For the record 'Lost in Translation' (an excellent film according to most critics) gets 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and won the Golden Globe for Best Picture in 2003. Surely there are worse films?
 
Hmmm. That is a tough question actually. The most agonizing thing I ever sat through was a movie in the '90s called Michael. Starred Travolta as a crude, belching Archangel Michael. What us guys don't do for our girlfriends! lol.

The movie that pissed me off, though, was Mel Gibson's Payback. In the commercials leading up to the release it was billed as a comic guy against the mob film. In reality it was a sadistic, brutal movie. I really should'a asked for my money back for the deception!

My example of that would be Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. Critics drool over it. I can't stand it. It's a tediously boring, pointless, uninteresting and endlessly long wander about in some countryside looking at the backs of people's heads. I really can't start to understand why anyone likes it.

His Solaris, on the other hand, I rate as one of my top ten SF films.

I wonder if I should get my retaliation in first...I'm going to see the new Star Trek movie on Friday but the trailers don't seem to make it look much like an ST movie (even though it's got space ships in it, I just worry that its just going to be an action movie with Star Trek connotation, but not actually be a Star trek movie).

I have to say I didn't think much of the first 'new' ST movie, it just seemed to focus on 'let's beat the crap out of Kirk' rather than anything else.

We'll see on Friday!
 
Hardly the worst movie, Gramm. lol. Though I am with you that this Star Trek is not your father's (or grandfather's depending on your age) Star Trek. So yes, it will be an action movie with a Star Trek connotation. Rather than rail about it, I've gone through the five stages to finish with acceptance that 21st century Star Trek will never be, and probably could never be, what made 20th century Star Trek something special......

My star trek I'm afraid, I'm old enough to remember watching the pilot with the original Captain Pike of the Enterprise in his hi-tech invalid carriage...:eek:
