The Talented Mr. Ripley
Army of Darkness
Baseketball (though Orgazmo is one of my guilty pleasures...)

and I have to second the person who said Master of Disguise

I hated "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," which is a shame because I love Bill Murray and I really liked Wes' Anderson's older movies. I walked out on "Life Aquatic" 30 minutes in.

WCUgirl 07-13-2005 05:16 PM

I have to agree with everyone who said:

*A Christmas Story
*Groundhog Day
*Eyes Wide Shut
*Mortal Kombat 2
*The Talented Mr. Ripley
*One Hour Photo

I want to add:

*E.T.
*Dude, Where's My Car?
*The Sweetest Thing
*Random Hearts
*About Schmidt

33girl 07-13-2005 05:40 PM

One Hour Photo wouldn't have been bad if it would have only been, like, half an hour long. It could have been a Very Special Episode of Full House/Family Ties/insert sitcom here.

I figured that would get someone. My husband and I have an ungoing battle over whether this movie is one of the most brilliant, or terrible, ever made. :)

My answer: so terrible it's BRILLIANT! I love that movie! The whole Evil Dead trilogy just takes all that is the cheesy horror film genre and does it super-cheesy to sort of make fun of the whole thing. Brilliant, hands down, no contest, amen to what moe.ron said.

Don't worry, it's one of mine too! ;)

My picks:
-Gigli (I actually saw this IN THE THEATRE with my mom, we were the only ones in there and man it was terrrrrrrrible)
-Bounce
-Austin Powers 3
-The Sweetest Thing....WORST MOVIE EVER!!!!
-Napolean Dynamite...I hated that movie, I'm more of a Ben Stiller humor kind of girl (and yes I'm sure I will get flamed for this but oh well)

As for the topic - The Village made me so mad. I saw it with a group of sorors and was sorely disappointed when I figured out the entire plot in the first 20 minutes.

The "twist" at the end was completely predictable.

Xylochick216 07-16-2005 08:55 PM

I agree with The Sweetest Thing and Napoleon Dynamite. And whoever said Groundhog Day, :eek: I LOVE that movie! Watch it again.

ASUADPi 07-17-2005 01:19 PM

I'm sure I'll think of more movies later where I am so sorry I wasted either the money to see it at the theater or the money to rent it.


Dr. T and the Women: This movied SUCKED. It was horrible!!

Scooby Doo 1 & 2: I thought the acting was horrible. The plot was stupid. What pissed me off even more is that SMG wanted to leave Buffy to go make movies and spend more time with hubby (Freddie). Yet, in Scooby Doo all they had her do was ACT LIKE BUFFY!!!! I was like "WTF, your trying to get away from roles that typecast you into "Buffy" but here you are doing it". OMG I was so annoyed.

Virus: OMG so incredibly lame. A virus takes over machines and we run away scared. Water on a plugged in machine equal badness for the machine.

Chucky: I don't get these movies at all. ITS A STUPID DOLL. People are running away from a DOLL. I get that the doll has a homicidal maniac controlling it, but still human adult- 5 to 6 feet, doll- no more than 2 feet. Concept!?! I don't care if it has a knife, hello your bigger than it.

Loser: This movie was so dumb. I wanted to just bitch slap Jason Biggs character for being such a dumbass.

Alexander: Let's put it this way, see Troy and then see Alexander and you'll think Troy is a masterpeice compared to it. Horrible, horrible movie. Saw it over Thanksgiving. My parents, brother and I walked out of the theater wondering why we wasted our money on it. The only redeeming quality of the movie was that Angelina Jolie was actually quite good in it.

ADqtPiMel 07-17-2005 02:42 PM

I love the Harry Potter books, but the movies are incredibly lame.

I also think Meet the Parents/Fockers should be buried somewhere in the Antarctic.

UKTriDelt 07-17-2005 07:31 PM

Ugh, The Notebook tops my list.

JenMarie 07-17-2005 11:16 PM

Titanic (never understood the hype... the ship sinks guys!)
Star Wars Episode II (thought it's quite fun to watch on mute and make up the dialogue to it.)
Matrix... well the 3rd one. I can't remember what it's called. (I swear I was watching a video game.)

There are way too many of these type movies for me to list.

If they cut half of the movie and just showed the sinking of the boat, it'll be a whole lot better. however, they have to keep the Kate Winslet nude scene.

Ditto for Stepford Wives. WTF was wrong with the scriptwriters? Are the women robots or are they brainwashed? It's like they had two different ideas, couldn't figure out which one they liked, and didn't have enough money to make two movies.

I would also add:

Star Wars Episode I (unless you delete all scenes with Jar Jar and the little kid. Yes, I know Anakin is a big part of the plot. I don't care. He sucked.)

Chasing Liberty (the entire plot can be summed up as: Mandy Moore is the president's daughter. She's in Europe. She wears capri pants. There is a boy there too.)

Most Quentin Tarantino movies (Lately the movies seem more about "I'm Quentin Tarantino and I'm so great, you should worship me" than any recognizable plot structure or character development)

Batman and Robin (Cheesiest. Dialogue. EVER. Plus, nipples on the Batsuit, ewww!)

Matrix 2 and 3 (Especially unforgiveable since the first one was so damn good. Everyone involved in # 2 and 3 should be ashamed of themselves)

Any sequel where the main characters are played by entirely different actors than the first movie. If the movie had anything redeeming about it, the original cast would have been willing to sign on again.

moe.ron 07-25-2005 06:10 PM

The Passion of the Christ - I felt like I was watching a 2 plus hours S&M video.

ms_gwyn 07-25-2005 06:21 PM

You guys are killing me on some of these films....while others are dead on....


but SW...come on...ROTS should redeem all in you guy's eyes...it was F**** awesome and after looking at it and watching the prequels, I "got it", I still don't see the whole jar jar thing (yea, many a people have tried to explain it to me, don't bother).


As one of my good friends put it (before ROTS) there were only 2 SW movies, ANH and ESB and after seeing ROTS, he gave in and said ROTS, now we are talking "hard nerdcore flow".

I will just shake my head and await the next SW Celebration, which should be 2007 for the 30th anniversary.

Conskeeted7 07-25-2005 06:50 PM

Napoleon Dynamite was AWFUL. I couldn't believe someone actually recommeded that movie to me.

I read something an Indian Woman said once - how we as christians are so hapy just to let jesus have done all of our suffering - you had to know this film was going to be grosteque...i think it's AMAZING what he did with it...making you see what Jesus endured in his last days.

I'm blown away b/c there were great films in the lists...bad films I've seen:
Punch Drunk Love - But I want to give it another try - I don't think I was in the proper mindset to see it.
screamers - the only real film i've ever turned off
chucky - any and all
faces of death - i thought i was getting a scary movie - i turned this one off too after the first scene where it showed a heart stop beating.
thirteenth warrior - fell alseep in the theatre.
war of the worlds - not the worst movie ever, by any means - that's a bit extreme - but I really disliked this movie. the ending was horrible.

i generally try to find out if a film is god befoer i see it, so i've not seen too many really bad ones.

My feeling exactly about "Lost in Translation." One of the very few movies that we just turned off after about 30 or 40 minutes -- we figured doing laundry would be more interesting.

You have to watch Lost in Translation twice.

Trust me.

There's no way I'd put myself through that torture again. Seriously, Ms. MysticCat and I found it mind-numbingly boring.

ASUADPi 08-03-2005 07:27 PM

I rented Be Cool this weekend because the previews made the movie look so funny.

I barely got through twenty minutes before turning it off.

LMAOOOOOO

Exactly, just kick the sucker!


And finally, late last night I watched American Psycho for the first time. WTF???? Dumbest movie ever!

Soul Plane
Touristas
any horror flick rated pg 13 (when it's rated PG 13 where is the horror?)

The Black Dahlia (and I actually work for the company that produced this film:mad: )

lovelyivy84 08-03-2007 12:53 PM

I can't believe all the Napolean Dynamite hate! I love that movie- although I admit it took two viewings for me to "get" it. The first time it was too random and bizarre, but the second time I was DYING.

Also: Groundhog Day is a classic. I watch that everytime it's on cable (once a month at least thanks to Starz)

Groundhog's Day is a classic! I too watch it every time it comes on television. I love that movie, it never gets old for me!!:D

lillady85 08-03-2007 02:24 PM

To my most unfortunate luck, nothing else was on but
'Angel Eyes' with Jennifer Lopez.

I just don't know why that movie was on or made at all.

No kidding. Like it wasn't totally predictable? WTF?

Oh, and add Waterworld. That was the most useless waste of a couple hundred million dollars.

lillady85 08-03-2007 02:55 PM

It's not even the predictability, its that JLo is essentially the same character in all her movies. No one should have to go through that.

I never saw Waterworld, what's it about?

AlphaFrog 08-03-2007 03:01 PM

Waterworld

If you're into End-times type movies and action/adventure, the plot SOUNDS good...actual application? Horrible.

dukemama 08-03-2007 03:01 PM

Some oldies:
Howard the Duck
Ishtar
(I'm embarrassed to say that I'm old enough to have seen both of these while they were in theaters!)
Heavy Metal

More recent:
Garfield
The Royal Tenenbaums
