I (heart, an actual heart symbol) Huckabees

I rented The Notebook, I thought, but the DVD in the case was actually this movie. It was so incredibly stupid.. and it had some big stars, Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman so I would have expected it to be pretty good, but OMG, it was awful and it was definitely NOT The Notebook.

Oh holy crap yes. So so awful.

I also hated Being John Malkovich and most of the Wes Anderson movies. Oooh, look, I'm quirky!

I actually loved (and own) some of the movies mentioned in this thread...Dances with Wolves, Eyes Wide Shut, Inside Man, Little Women, Moulin Rouge. But I dare ANYONE to say that Showgirls - with Elizabeth Berkley - is a good movie. It's so, so terrible, and has the most laughably bad dialogue I've ever heard. But I still bought it, because it was perfect for drinking games in college.

Showgirls is so bad, it is good. Her pronunciation of Versace and the continual comments about brown rice and vegetables kill me. I have Glitter and Pootie Tang in that same category.

I can't even thread a needle anymore. Think I'll go eat some doggie chow now. Then maybe I'll watch Caesar sing.

Hostel was terrible! I watched it with 3 other people and when it was over one remarked "that movie was awful! there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back." Turns out all four of us were thinking the same thing through the whole movie! We could have just turned it off!

That movie with Justin Timberlake-Alpha Dog or something like that I think? I watched about 10 minutes and that was it.

You sound like Elaine from Seinfeld. I totally agree - I have never been able to get through it.

Casting my mind back, I find the bar for bad movies was set by "You Light Up My Life". Truly awful.

I would have to say Domino. I feel sorry for anyone who actually paid to see this movie.

Eyes Wide Shut and Vanilla Sky were also terrible.

I may get flamed for this, but I couldn't stand Moulin Rouge or The Others.

This was me and Silence of the Lambs. I finally did get through it, and the only reason I'm glad I did is because I understand the references in South Park. But this was one of the most BORING movies I have ever seen.

Coyote Ugly sucked a lot and I feel really bad for the dudes who went to it thinking it was going to be a boobie flick.

One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing - one of those live action Disney deals. Mom & I walked out of the theater. Still have never done that for any other movie.

And I hated the most recent remake of Little Women because any movie where Winona Ryder calls herself ugly and acts like she's never going to get a man makes me ballistic. IMO the casting in that film was bad all around. (Eric Stoltz as John Brooke....PUH LEEZE...it would be funny to watch Pulp Fiction right afterwards.)
