Title: This ought to make interesting reading. Post by: Svengoolie 3 on February 18, 2018, 02:55:45 AM https://247wallst.com/special-report/2018/01/05/50-worst-movies-of-all-time/?utm_source=keywee&utm_medium=CPC&utm_content=50-worst-movies-of-all-time&utm_campaign=keywee&kwp_0=676369&kwp_4=2404205&kwp_1=1014750
I fairly agree with this list but can't call Manos the worst movie ever made. I think a bad movie that had a huge budget should be ranked worse that a very clearly no budget movie just because a big budget awful movie had less excuse.

Jaws 3 was goofy, but it still generated some suspense.

Or SUBURBAN SASQUATCH. Or an Andy Milligan movie. Or a Polonia Brothers film. Or a Don Dohler flick. Nick Millard's CRIMINALLY INSANE aka CRAZY FAT ETHEL (1975) is a good one to pull out for critics who think things couldn't get any worse than a Baby Genius movie or that CATWOMAN movie. !

No longer available ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBblYf5jjxc#[/url]) I really LOVE CRIMINALLY INSANE ! It's got that gritty 70's sleaze feel of an old porn movie gone wrong. That being said- I can't go threw these lists on sites like that- mainly because they list 4 movies on a page-and then you click again and it takes forever to load the next page....phooey. Plus they drag out the usual suspects i.e. MANOS, PLAN 9, blah blah blah. These folks who generally view mainstream films should leave the BAD movie critique to the pros. Like Us!

Title: Re: This ought to make interesting reading. Post by: Pacman000 on February 19, 2018, 09:25:07 AM Interesting twist: they didn't list Plan 9. They also didn't actually review any of the movies they chose, so we have no idea why these are the "worst."

Oh, right, millennials are the only people gifted with intelligence, and the world didn't start until sometime in the 1980s, unless it serves their purpose to reference something before then.

Post by: beat_truck on February 20, 2018, 03:57:53 AM Hey now, I actually have a soft spot for Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot. :smile: It's one of my childhood movies that I've seen a bunch of times. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but I'd rather watch it than basically everything else on that list.
Jaws 3 and Jaws The Revenge are watchable. House of the Dead is bad but still somewhat enjoyable. The Fog remake sucked ass. I Know Who Killed Me was another MAJOR turd except for having a younger and still somewhat hot Lindsay Lohan. I haven't seen any of the rest and never plan to. :lookingup: Title: Re: This ought to make interesting reading.

I usually split them into separate lists. It's hard for me to compare a big-budget Hollywood bomb to a cheap, crappy movie. Title: Re: This ought to make interesting reading. Post by: The Burgomaster on February 20, 2018, 12:14:22 PM I'm glad CADDYSHACK II and THE AVENGERS (1998) made the list. I have that dreadful Avengers movie on DVD and have watched it at least 3 times in a futile attempt to figure it out. The movie is incomprehensible. I saw the screenplay many years ago and I can understand why the movie makes no sense. It seems like the movie is missing several (probably important) scenes that were in the script.

I usually split them into separate lists. It's hard for me to compare a big-budget Hollywood bomb to a cheap, crappy movie. When trying to identify the worst movies ever made there's only one thing I'm sure of: you don't do it with metrics based on reviews. Title: Re: This ought to make interesting reading. Post by: Alex on February 20, 2018, 01:39:10 PM Yeah, when people ask me what I think the worst movie ever made was and I tell them "Taking budget into account, the remake of Solaris" it always seems to surprise them.
Title: Re: This ought to make interesting reading. Post by: BoyScoutKevin on February 27, 2018, 03:50:44 PM Oh, that Avengers. You probably couldn't give that title to a film today without receiving a cease and desist letter from Marvel studios.
It's a good guess about the editing. The film was originally 115 minutes, which now seems to be lost, and was cut back to 89 minutes. Though, the problems began before the editing. --What was originally on the script did not make it onto the screen. --The preview audience in Phoenix (Arizona) was composed almost entirely of working class, predominantly Spanish speaking members. Who hated the film. The good, the bad, and the ugly. The good --the cast --Like a lot of failed films, it produced a book Peter Bart's "The Gross." the bad --It was Patrick Macnee's last film, giving his voice to the character Invisible Jones. the ugly --Depending upon how you feel about Sir Sean Connery, this film was one the reasons he left acting. --For the 1st time, John and Emma intentionally kiss. |
