Seriously, have you ever been forced to watch a movie you knew you wouldn't like and still didn't like it after being forced to see it? I've been there. I've been forced to watch School for Scoundrels (2006 verison) and I really didn't like it.
Edit: So, have you been forced to watch something bad (As in it is something not enjoyable, thanks for alerting me about this akiratubo).
If you define "bad movie" as a movie I simply did not enjoy, then yes. Yes, indeed.

Got to agree here, need to define what you mean by bad movie for this group. We are people who seem devoted to watching the worst films we can find. In fact if Dr. Forrester had access the the members of this group, his experiment to break Joel then later Mike's will and turn them into madmen who he could use tot ake over the world would of been sucessful cause we could of found the movie which would of done it.
If you mean movies I just loathed, then yep, a lot cause I got a wife who only watches chick flicks, Julia Roberts films, and lame comedies. Also I got three daughters from the age of 11 to 17, they like to watch crap like Step it up and High School Musical 3. Speaking of High School Musical 3, gonna be forced to see it this weekend cause my youngest got a copy of it on DVD for her birthday.
No one forces me to do anything, for I am THE BURGOMASTER!

A relative tried to force me to watch High School Musical, but failed. My mother got me with Mamma Mia (what's with my family and musicals?) and it was everything I feared and worse.
A friend of mine made me sit through Sukiyaki Western Django. What a POS.
Same friend also brought over Nighwatch (the Russian one). I was interested in it, actually. REALLY a POS. Awful, awful film.
A girl I was dating a long time ago once forced me to watch The Sound Of Music. Thankfully, she married some other poor schmuck. He was more easily trainable than I.
help me out here guys...
Quoinaskatchi? Koynascatchi? whats it called?
3 hours of slow motion 'images' of humanity passing by.
utter crud, I was trapped in a room with 3 girls , one of whom I was trying to bone at the time so I just sat and watched this complete crap like a good boy. still scarred to this day.

ARGH yes sat through that one.
Tokyo Gore Police I found thoroughly unpleasant, sat through it because it was a friend's choice for what movie she wanted to watch for her birthday.
When i was a young man in school they forced us to watch REMEMBER THE TITANS , i knew it was going to be a bad movie , i hated the movie , and i've hated denzel washington ever since
My friend rented Death Valley: The Revenge of Bloody Bill and had to sit through it. I needed a drink or 5 after that.
:buggedout: :buggedout:
When I was six, friends of my folks took me to see Charles Jarrott's abortive musical remake of Lost Horizon with Peter Finch, Liv Ullmann, Sir John Gielgud and Andrew's favourite actor, George Kennedy.
All I can say is :buggedout: :buggedout: and it's a wonder that that POS didn't put me off watching movies for the rest of my life.
A friend swore to me that Meet the Spartans was funny. I, however, had never even seen 300. So I watched them both. And hated them both. So I guess I got a twofer on this thread. My sister put in Mamma Mia when I was over there one day with my wife and daughter. I lasted about half an hour before I just got up and walked out of the room. I like musicals, but Amanda Seyfried's character annoyed me so much that I just couldn't watch any more. As for Sound of Music, I can't say it's a bad movie (I even like many of the songs in it), but something about it makes me want to claw my way out of whatever room it's playing in. I found Koyaanisqatsi (the movie DCA referred to) on Hulu, and it sounded vaguely interesting. I lasted about three minutes before that "cinematic experience" ended. Oh, yeah, and I sat through Titanic because a friend put it in at a party. One of the worst movies I've ever been forced to watch (along with Pearl Harbor and the others mentioned here. And maybe Death Proof, Four Rooms, and any other Tarantino movie).
The closest thing I can remember is when "Top Gun" was released in VHS. I was like 10 back then and I couldn't understand why my sister and her friends were that interested in an action film, or why they kept on disecting and replaying scenes like the volleyball match.
And what a boring action movie it was, BTW. It only had some action at the very end, and the rest of it was compossed of cocky people talking, moving in slow mo or pretending they didn't notice their rooms were flooded with blue neon light. What a steaming pile of sh*t.
But to be fair, most of the excruciantingly bad movies I've seen and I continue to watch (the last one: "How to lose a guy in 10 days") are purely my own idea.
When I hear you say "forced to watch a movie", I think of this:

No, I have never been forced to watch a movie. If it sucks, I leave.
Back in the days before VHS tapes and DVDs I forced myself to sit through movies that were really awful because I'd actually paid money to see them, there was a fair number of what was I thinking moments. The same thing went on to a lesser extent with Blockbuster and Hollywood video, I was paying $2.99 to $3.99 plus tax 3 to 5 times a month to watch films that were occasionally painful. Now I have a Netflix plan that costs per month what 5 DVDs from Blockbuster cost but I see 3 to 5 movies per week , the way I look at it after the first week of the month everthing else is free so I can be a more adventurous in my movie selections. There are times when I use the fast forward feature a lot, "Sukiyaki Western Django" was the last one I had to do this to.

TO WANG FOO,WITH LOVE....someting like that...more guys in drag...
...in fact...I have seen too many drag queen movies because a girl I liked wanted to watch them it's pathetic. And of course I would end up destroying any chance of getting laid because I couldn't keep my big mouth shut on how much I dislike drag queen/gay films.(sigh). Comments from girls-said to me-regarding drag queen movies-
."OH my gawd! Wesley Snipes is so cute!"-in regards to TO KUNG POO,WITH LOVE.
."You go,girl!"
."I love his shoes!"
:bluesad:
The only drag queen movie I like....GLEN or GLENDA.
And even that is a hard to watch film...beyond the Lugosi scenes and the bizzare dream sequence....some of it is nearly unwatchable. Love the buffalo stampede,though! :smile:

RC, I like that one too, it's second only to "Plan Nine from Outer Space" as an Ed wood cinematic work of art.

I happened to like To Wong Foo, thanks for everything Julie Newmar. It was a fun film, but not one I would like to admit publicly that I like.
I watched The Fast and the Furious with a friend once. Never again will I watch that film. It was horrible IMO.
