Worst film ever?

[Griff]

'Churchill: The Hollywood Years' has to be up there with the shittiest films ever.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Isn't that a bloody stupid place to ride a horse?

 

[Bomber]

Gone with the Wind !! Utter shite, overated garbage, left me scarred for life when my parents took me to see it and I have never got over it !!

Wim Wender's The Wings of Desire (Les Ailes de Desir)

Oh fuck, yes. I'd sucessfully blanked that from my memory until i read your post!
I remember renting it & me & Mrs Pie just watching it going 'WTF '

 

[mauvais]

Hackers. It's quite clearly Hackers.

 

[Orang Utan]

Is that the one with the inline skating baddy?

 

[mauvais]

Possibly.

And a set of goalkeeper top wearing no-marks. Like err, Jonny Lee Miller, and err, Angelina Jolie!

Those stupid ones about spoilt rich kids racing cars. The ones that look like video games. I can't remember the names of them, and don't particularly want to, as they're both fucking ludicrous (yes, unbelievably, the appalling original spawned a sequel).

Blair Witch 2 was terrible and utterly pointless after the (I thought) quite good orignal.

When A Stranger Calls which was in the cinema recently is the only film I have walked out off. It was so boring.

I vote for that shit film with the dragons in that was out a few years back. Utter chod.

Do you mean Reign of Fire?

Yeah.

I really got taken in by the poster for that.

Pissed off with London, struggling into work on the tube, I suddenly see a poster for a film involving huge dragons burning London to the ground, fighting against helicopter gunships. It sounded utterly immense.

The actual film though was seriously anticlimactic compared to what the poster conveyed. The poster was IMO the greatest film ad poster ever.

2 fast 2 furious. yes - awful

i tried to watch one and it was the only film i've switched off after a mere 10 minutes. action films for daily mail readers.

 

[killer b]

Cool as Ice

i thought this was suprisingly enjoyable - a stylised update of 'the wild one', or something of that sort.

the performances in the film weren't much cop, mind...

A friend of a friend brought the first one round. He's really into his cars, and thought this film was the best thing since sliced bread. Like you, we watched as much as we could stand - about 20 minutes, I think - whilst making sarcastic comments and laughing down our sleeves, as the friend of a friend grew ever more irate and ever redder in the face. Then we turned it off ("er, let's put some music on..."). He took the DVD and went off home in a huff.

I remember clearly my last words to him:

"Are you going home, such-a-body?"

"YES I FUCKING AM!!!" Glare, glare

I may pee my pants just thinking about it.

After Watching Red Sojnya I decided to hate every arnie film ever with the exeption of Predator.

 

[Hi-ASL]

The Running Man? That one set on Mars? Fabulous.

 

[DotCommunist]

Total Recal, largely shit only funny because it has b-movie stalwart Michael Ironside in it. And running man was dire.

 

[Hi-ASL]

I disagree. Two great comic-book fantasies.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Mimic

 

[Flashman]

Oh I like Total Recall, marvellous SCiFI nonsense.

But this thread is about the worst films ever made, not the chronically overrated half-decent ones that have at least some merit.

The likes of Dr Strangelove being in such a thread is absurd, frankly.

It's just DLR trying to be an iconoclastic barb in the collective urban conciousness. He's rubbish at it

Matrix 3 must be up there with films that dissapointed so throughly.

Whichever of Oliver Stone's pompous overblown fatuous patronising wastes of celluloid is longest.

I think that, again, those fall under the banner of 'films that are actually quite good but which I, [insert username], don't particularly like'.

Can you all lower your standards, please?

No, I'm afraid you're incorrect. The work of Oliver Stone is self-indulgent, ponderous, repetitive and obvious. Thanks to his self-importance and his inability to treat his audience as intelligent, however, it is dressed up as meaningful, artistic, challenging and powerful. That's probably why you've become confused and think his films are "actually quite good".

In my defence it was a free...no wait...there is no defence

Too fucking right. Cool as ice is a work of pure geunis.

It has a fight where every conection makes a hip hop noise. It is the prize of my VHS collection.
