Worst British Filum of all time ?

[Voley]

I hadn't heard of Kung Fu Flid before now, I must be honest. I might have to watch it.

 

[Voley]

and it took £650 in total in its opening week. no really.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Whereas Kung Fu Flid is not to anyone's taste, ever

Look out! It's Faye Tozer with a barrel of acid!

 

[Part 2]

Withnail and I.

Plot: 2 blokes go to a farm.

Certainly one for the 'most over rated' list

Wrong thread.

 

[Frances Lengel]

Wrong thread.

Au contraire, it makes the rest of the thread redundant.

Bollocks.

This is the 90s. Sex isn't safe any more.

I stole cars at school. Take them over at break. Leave it parked outside the gates and at the end of the day I was the only kid to drive home. I was a fucking hero.

Conway: What's prison taught you, Billy?
Billy: Don't get caught...

On that evidence I think we can agree that the dialogue in the film is second to none. And Jude Law is perfectly cast as a wrong-side-of-the-tracks tough guy criminal type.

Oh, and Sean Pertwee.

I immediately thought of this film when I saw the thread title. Utter tosh.

The WTF Rosemary's Baby rip-off I Don't Want to be Born (US title The Devil Within Her), starring Joan Collins during her early 70s career nose dive should be up/down there.

Stumbled across this on TV one night when I got back from the pub. Was transfixed by its awfulness. Would be quite interested to see it sober...

 

[Sue]

Can we include all the 'Confessions of...' films? Oh, and the On the Buses film(s).

It really is best seen drunk.

 

[cypher79]

Co-sign Kung-Fu Flid (aka Unarmed and Dangerous), that is truly one horrendous film.

And why does Shopping always make these lists on here? Ok its not the best, but to call it the worst uk film of all time?

 

[DotCommunist]

Confessions was great.

as for the Boat that rocke, given what we now know of 70s DJ's its more like the hand that rocked the cradle

 

[Sue]

Confessions was great.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Talking of Neil Morrissey:

 

[DJ Squelch]

Try again, I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle is brilliant.

 

[Gingerman]

Danny Dyer,Neil Morrissey,Denise Van Outen and the wan from Girls Aloud....I mean how could that fail.....

 

[Stigmata]

Is that... is that Sci Fi legend Andreas Katsulas back row on the right?!

 

[Frances Lengel]

Painful stuff.

 

[Idaho]

This was dire.

 

[Gingerman]

Believe it was one of the highest grossing movies of the year in the UK when it was released...

 

[spanglechick]

This was dire.

no way! i mean - not the best film evah... but intelligently made with some nice performances.

 

[Idaho]

It was one of those British films that are made by someone who sees the world as a series of general impressions. Made to elicit emotion, and bypass the brain.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Can a visceral film not be 'good'? Does a 'good' film need to be cerebral?

'Worst' means 'most bad', where 'bad' implies 'of a poor standard', 'faulty', or 'negative (in a moral sense)'.

There are many examples of visceral films which are highly proficient, well-functioning (in narrative terms), or positive (in a moral sense). Many of them are hailed as 'good', 'very good', 'great', 'superlative', 'a masterpiece', etc.

Link appears to be temperamental, it's Mad Dogs and Englishmen 1995, with Liz Hurley.

 

[Gingerman]

When a film resorts to using "Excellent....Yes,Hurley does get her kit off" as a critic's recommendation you know its going to be a steaming turd

Painful stuff.

i had considered posting this myself. it's truly awful.

 

[scalyboy]

Any one of those shit british gangster movies aimed at middle class 'lads'

'Charlie' - the Charles Richardson story, with Luke Goss in the lead role springs to mind..
