What's the WORST movie you've ever seen?

When asked this question, I always say ... The Village.  I hate that movie.  Loathe.  Despise.  Detest.  Strongly dislike, you know?  I can remember being furious when the "creature scheme" was revealed ... then I was happy again when I thought Ivy was being stalked by a "real creature" ... and double pissed when it turned out to be someone in a costume. 

For the record, I watched Lady in the Water.  I was thinking, "This cannot be worse than The Village.  Not a chance."  And it wasn't that bad, really.  I actually enjoyed it.

Tom Cruise's WOTW was a lame movie, but the worst thing about it was Dakota Fanning's constant whining and screaming.  I'd have dumped her on the side of the road or something!  She contributes to the disaster of what the movie was.

Never been a Tom Cruise fan and I've not seen the majority of his films because of that, but one of the worst I've ever paid to see was Mission Impossible.  Can't be bothered with II or III. Went to see the first because it was filmed in Prague and my friend had friends who worked on it.  We saw it at a Cinema Grill - thank goodness we got a meal and glass of wine out of it. Laughed out loud many times...
 
But even worse was The Specialist starring Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone (and Eric Roberts).  Awful.  Awful.  Stunk, stunk, STUNK. 
 
And that obscure reference on Ssssssss - that cracked me up!  That is a TERRIBLE movie.  Dirk Benedict turns into a snake.
 
Liked Napoleon Dynamite quite a bit, but I understand how it could be a big miss for some.  I laughed my butt off.
 
Wow. Ron - Billy Jack movies....those were horrific.  Abysmal acting. 
 
Anyone watch MST3K?  Manos, the Hands of Fate was a movie featured on that show and it was brutally bad....

ditto!

Just thought of another one.  A bit goofy, but I thought the The Pink Panther remake was stupid.  Steve Martin is usually funny (Bringing Down the House -- one of my all-time favorites), but this was one SUCKED.

The old Pink Panther movies were hilarious! 

i remember the movie SSSSS,when i was a little kid i saw it...the blue eyed snake that used to be a man,and cried...lol


to me,when i see a comedy that is supposed to be funny,and doesnt fall in with my sense of humor,i am more dissapointed than say if i see a bad horror flick..

I kind of liked THe Villiage...To me it was more about the state of mind of an entire group of people who were in their own little microcosm,and had been reverted back in time.It wasnt so much about the monster to me,as it was about the reaction to a percieved mystical threat.

Same goes with signs,where the threat was real,and there was a study of faith.Fate VS. coincidence and all that...I did like this movie.

as for bad horro movies...anyone remember CHUD?? lol

Canibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers???lol

If it hadnt been for the bottle of whiskey i brought into the theater,it would have been even worse..

I love how we are all so different!

I haven't seen "Eternal Sunshine..." so I can't remark on that but.....

I tried to watch "The Family Stone" on DVD on an airplane. I lasted five minutes. Bleccchhhh.

I've walked out on two movies: "Chasing Amy" (pure drivel. slang that I could not relate to. sorry, I know some people like it. I thought that it was totally pointless self-involved baloney.)

and beleive it or not...."A Fish Called Wanda." Now, this was when it first came out, I had a seven-yr-old son with me and my younger brother. My younger brother was HATING it. We were at Graumann's Chinese Theater. And we walked out.

I *would* have walked out on "Far and Away" because it made me so INCREDIBLY ANGRY that it glorified the heros of the story stealing land from Native Americans. Oh, I STiLL get really angry about that movie. It's so unconscious!!! And yet from really great (usually) director!

My taste in things is quite different from other folks' taste. I read the Da Vinci Code and very much enjoyed the movie.

I was terribly disappointed with the latest Harry Potter movies. I wish Chris Columbus would come back and direct. They really butchered the last movie quite badly, and I have no idea how they are going to get out of it. They really screwed up the storyline.

Another movie that was disappointing was "Starship Troopers." I've read everything that Heinlein has ever written and "Starship Troopers" is an excellent story of a young man with no direction who comes of age while in military service. Paul Verhoeven grew up in communist East Germany, and therefore doesn't trust any government or military. So the movie is rife with ridiculous jabs and sneers at patriotism, another factor in "Starship Troopers." The book was not about a war with bugs. It was about becoming a productive member of society.
 
Verhoeven should have stopped at his prime, with "Robocop."
 

Sarship troopers was bad. My brother loves the book and had read it a gazzilion times, and then the movie STUNK. My brothers didn't even want me to watch it is was so bad. And then they made a sequel. [:'(]

And then they made a sequel

 
Unfortunately, they did and I have never seen it. Verhoeven's sense of distrust and poking fun at the goverment was just a little distracting in "Robocop." But he does it in every movie, which makes him a one-trick pony, IMHO. And he totally missed the point of "Starship Troopers," the book.
 
OTOH, another Heinlein book made into a movie was "Puppetmasters." It was very close to the book, and therefore, good to watch. Donald Sutherland was perfect as "Two Canes."

He-he.  As soon as I saw this thread, I thought of Starship Troopers.  My husband and I went to the theater years ago to watch the movie.  Yes, I'm ashamed to admit that we paid money to see it.  We knew something was amiss when we were the only two people in the whole theater!!  We tried to stay for the whole movie, but it was horrible!!!
 
I'm sure someone here will remember the name of that movie that came out years ago that everyone was saying was going to be like the Alien movie (the first one).  My dad and I liked the suspense in Alien, so we were all excited about this new alien movie.  What a disappointment!!!  It was nothing like Alien.  It was about this blond alien that was on Earth and trying to mate with men.  And there I was in my late teens, sitting with my dad in a theater as chick flashed her boobs all through the movie.  I thought I was going to die.

i thought vehoeven was from the netherlands? but i agree robocop was his last good movie. i did like "the fourth man" as well, but that was well before robocop.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes ... but that one was so bad that it actually was almost kind of good. [][]

 Now i have "puberty Love" going through my head...thanks...thanks alot...[:'(] lol

"Alexander", hands down. It was terrible in all aspects, and the accents were all over the place. I can't believe they didn't pull the plug on the movie mid-production.

Zoolander.  And my husband loves it.  Then of course if I went into other movies he likes it would explain a lot....
 
I really didn't enjoy Pirates II.  I loved the effects - but not so much a fan of the story...
