I've two particular movies that got my goat when I saw them at the cinema:

-"Men In Black" - Ninety or so minutes of unadulterated cack. Bad jokes, inane performances etc
-"Lost In Space" - So was the two hours of my life that I spent watching this in a virtually deserted cinema. Good cast (Oldman, Hurt etc) awful film.

However, I'm actually not much of a cinema goer, preferring to watch films on DVD or TV.

While getting back with an old girlfriend from a few years prior, she suggested we go see "Moonstruck". It was HORRIBLE, but played right into my plan for getting into her pants. That's the only thing helpful Cher has ever done in her whole life as far as I'm concerned. Cher acting + Old girlfriend + popcorn = doin' the boing boing. This world is strange.

I saw Shutter(American) with a friend, we had planned to see this atrocity weeks before and we knew we were in for a ride. We entered the theater, almost no one was there. Just an elderly couple and two or three teens but that's about it. All we did was laugh at the movie right there. We were crying of laughter at how bad the movie was. The old couple joined us in laughing at the movie. We left the theater with great joy because we saw one of the crappiest films ever put out in theaters.

Primary Colors- I think if I were more politically motivated, I would have found this hilarious.  Instead, I found it boring.  Most of the humor probably carried over better in book format.

Deep Impact- Not lying.  I hated this damn movie.  Everyone I talk to seems to love it.

Armageddon- I liked it the first time I saw it, but began to realize how actually lousy it was after a while. 

Resident Evil: Extinction- The first two were over the top and still fun to watch bad flicks.  This one is just bad, not to mention ridiculous and disjointed. 

I can honestly say I've never walked out on a film, though.  I've never even come close.  I've shut off plenty of videos before, sure, but never walked out on a movie.

Warp Ninja X

Batman and Robin only one good thing about that movie was Uma Thurman's butt. :buggedout:

Ugh - there are a lot that come to mind, but the 2 worst:

Miami Vice - I actually stopped in the hallway to sit on the bench for a few minutes on my way to the bathroom just to miss more of this movie.

Wing Commander - I was a huge fan of the games and this was a gigantic disappointment.  Matthew Lillard is a rotten actor!

Not the worst movie by any, but the only movie ever to put me to sleep "Cool World."

For me, Cool World marks the transition from the "almost every movie I see in the theater is good" to the "almost every movie I see in the theater is bad, WTF?" portions of my movie-watching life.

I don't know if it was just because I entered my teens, or because movies really did start to suck all of a sudden, but Cool World was the very first movie I saw in the theater that really disappointed me.  Ever since then, I've watched fewer and fewer movies in the theater, and fewer new movies period.

  Many years ago I remember going to see the Corsican brothers at the midnight movie.I think its the only movie I've ever walked out on.Me and my buddies weren't expecting the usual pot smoking Cheech and Chong but we also weren't expecting a lame-ass laugh free comedy.Bad even by wasted standards.Unfunny comedies are to me the hardest flix to watch.

More recently I've seen AVP2 (uggh) The hills have eyes2 (had some redeeming qualities)Nothing really god awful.

Doom- The Rock was the best part of this flick.  His performance could not save this movie, at all.  And he's the best actor of the movie.  Script was terrible.

My ex and I saw Dracula: Dead and Loving It. About halfway through we started discussing wether we should walk out. We stuck with it though. It was pretty painful and not in the least bit funny.

Fearless Freep

Dunno...my parents were big sci-fi fans when I was a kid so I saw a lor of really bad stuff in the theater in the 70s and 80s (Metalstorm comes to mind as one of the worst...Message From Space as well)

*I* wasn't paying...but someone did...

There's an anime movie called "X" that was realeased theatrically in the 'States for some reason.  My friend Jason and I thought, "Neat, anime on the big screen."  (Doesn't happen very much here in TN.)

It.  Was.  Unbearable.

The dub work was pretty good but the entire movie was just people saying "Kamuii" about 10,000 times, buildings collapsing over and over and over, and people cradling and talking to severed heads.  It felt like somebody forgot to put in about half the plot.

Maybe because they did. The movie may have been an abbreviated form of a 26-part anime series of the same name.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
