Worst film ever?

[8ball]

I think if you were to put it to a vote (that you caould add options to, of course), then Titanic would be the consensus.

Batman and Robin was pretty bad. I watched Battlefield Earth and, though it was bad, it didn't make me want to scoop my eyes out with a fork.

No one has said Independence Day yet . . .

I don't know, I think Bladerunner would give Tinanic a run for its money.

danny la rouge, you are an idiot.

If you did a 'best ever films' poll, Bladerunner would come in the top 15. Go look at some polls on the net. You may not like it but it's true

I think the film that inspires in me the deepest loathing and hatred has to be Dirty Dancing.

If you did a 'best ever films' poll, Bladerunner would come in the top 15.

Just as certain celebrities frequently top both the worst dressed and best dressed polls simultaneously, so certain films are both equally loved (by idiots) and loathed (by those with taste).

I can only judge films I've seen, so my list of worst films cannot include (for example) Independence Day because it either had Bruce Willis in it, or looked as if it might.

LOL!

Was actually Will Smith, so you have a point

And can you find Bladerunner down on a 'worst films' list that you haven't written yourself?

I just don't think you can credibly include a film you hate but lots of other people (including those well-versed in cinema if we want to be snobs) like a lot.

I think you'll find loads of people love Dirty Dancing. So is that out of the running?

Dr Strangelove - Peter Sellars overacts. Again.

Rubbish, one of hte best satircal films ever

See, that's the mistake many people make; the satire can be of good intent without the acting being good, or the film being watchable.

No, because all of the people who love Dirty Dancing were going through hormonal changes at the time of their first exposure to it which rendered them completely tasteless but only for a short period of time.

The Pavlovian response they all continue to exhibit when this cack comes on the TV is purely a reflex action.

e2a - also I don't think you'll find it on any 'best ever' lists, so it is not in the 'Bladerunner' category, where you have a film on the 'best of' lists, but not the 'worst of' lists. So this is not really analogous to Pete Doherty's dress sense.

Fair point. So when asking, we need to design the question along the lines of "What is the best movie ever, and how old were you when you first saw it?"

e2a - also I don't think you'll find it on any 'best ever' lists.

I never trust published lists. Time Magazine, Q, The List - they're staffed by ponces.

Well I think it is fuckin' ace, some of the shots when the americans are invading the base look like scenes from the frontline in afghanistan and iraq, sellers is bound to be OTT in it - it was an OTT role(s), and it is just pure comedy at times. His part as the president is quality, you can't say that was over acted.

"So when asking, we need to design the question along the lines of 'What is the best movie ever, and how old were you when you first saw it?'"

Don't do that!

The girls will all use it as an excuse to diss Star Wars!!

 

[kakuma]

youse lot are fucking idiots

I can say what I like. I hate Peter Sellars. He gives me fury.

 

[Fez909]

Apocalypse Now - long, boring, long. Has the Doors in it.
Citizen Kane - the sledge did it.
Blade Runner - Long, dull. Who's a replicant and who isn't? Who cares?
Dr Strangelove - Peter Sellars overacts. Again.
Pulp Fiction. - Has Bruce Willis in (which makes any film unwatchable). He loses a watch. Some people die. (In mitigation, there is some good music).

I reckon you're not even trying to be controversial here. You're trolling.

You've picked 5 films which often appear high up in the best films polls for some reason other than that you actually believe it. Maybe to derail the thread? To wind people up?

I don't believe you can't think of a worse film than any of those.

 

[danny la rouge]

Don't do that!

The girls will all use it as an excuse to diss Star Wars!!

That's what you get!

Anyway, Star Wars is tripe.

 

[danny la rouge]

I don't believe you can't think of a worse film than any of those.

I picked over rated films I hate.

Shhhh!

Tch!

Bet you think Ollie Reed is shit too

 

[Fez909]

Which isn't what was asked.

I like Blade Runner, but that is a DUMB fucking argument. DO you make all your aesthetic decisions based on their popularity?

If we're allowed to do that, then I nominate Gladiator.

The only redeeming feature was that I had a good snooze at the cinema.
What a bag of shite, I could have knocked up a better Coliseum on my old Spectrum48k, those 'arty' bits missed the mark by SOOOO far . . . I could go on . . .

 

[chazegee]

Plan 9 from out of space.

The Hollywood remake, not the brilliant Bela Lugosi original

 

[danny la rouge]

Fez, we're told certain films are "great", but that is never questioned. Why are they great? They're great because they're in some list? Or because some poncy critic says you should like them?

Well, to me a great film is a film I have enjoyed, and I didn't enjoy any of the films listed.

What does "worst" mean? I can only go on my taste, not yours, not Jonathan Ross's, but mine.

 

[danny la rouge]

If we're allowed to do that, then I nominate Gladiator. .

Why not? I didn't think much of it, either. Ollie's role was too short...

i did, but i felt my comment was still warranted, fucko

Fair point but I think if you're going to talk about the 'Worst fiilm ever', rather than 'Films I think are massively overrated', then I think an element of looking at how others respond to it comes into play.

Have you never listened to some music and thought 'well I can tell that there's something there, that it isn't just shit, but it really ain't my bag'?
