Probably "Neighbors" with John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd. Every joke in the movie had been given away in the ads for it, therefore nothing had the element of surprise that the gags needed to work.
Dishonorable mention: Legend of the Lone Ranger. The only thing I can remember is Christopher Lloyd standing on a rock at some point. The rest of the film I've completely forgotten, a rarity for me.

Oh boy....

The Wedding Date
Sex & The City
Monster-In-Law
Sweeney Todd

They're all tied for first place...........just think of all those hours I'll never get back.

I loved Sweeney Todd, but I'm a musical theater geek.

The worst movie I paid to see was The Mask. I walked out 40 minutes in and demanded my money back.

Kill Bill.

I was supposed to see Bringing Out the Dead with a friend but we got to the theater about 20 minutes too late for some reason. So instead we saw Nurse Betty for some reason... what the f*ck... As for worst movie I intended to see and actually saw? Godzilla 2000, hands down. I FELL ASLEEP DURING A GODZILLA MOVIE! Seriously, what the f*ck...

Super Mario Bros. (I was a stupid naive kid then, what do you expect?)

Batman and Robin (Same as above)

Jason X (I now follow the rule of if they put the killer in space for a sequel, avoid at ALL COSTS)

The Fog remake (God, this is why I hate remakes)

Dumb and Dumber (Do I hate every Jim Carrey thing I've ever seen? Hmm... yes, yes I do)

Dumb and Dumber is the best Farrelly brothers movie, by far. Is that saying much? No. But Dumb and Dumber always makes me laugh. Thing is, Jeff Daniels was really funny, and he's a not a guy you think of when you think of 'funny actors'. I dunno. To each their own. I think the movie had it's moments.

Lloyd: "What's the Soup Du Jour?"
Waitress: "It's the soup of the day."
Lloyd: "Sounds good. I think I'll have that."

QuoteThe Mask (See above)

My father and I went to go see this in a packed theater. After the movie people applauded and I was shocked. Every single "highlight" moment in the movie was covered in the previews. That means two minutes of "highlights" in an hour and a half plus adventure.

Godzillia (Amercian)
Species 2
Grinch

Theirs more but I most likely blocked it out.

Battlefield Earth

Yeah, I walked out of that movie in disbelief of what I had just seen.

Wow -- quite a few to choose from, really --

Howard the Duck -- walked out.
The Valachi Papers -- with Charles Bronson. Endless pointless bloodletting & no plot. Walked out.
Panic in the Year 3000 -- with Olivia Hussey. Blitheringly incoherent patchise based on "The Most Dangerous Game". Sat through to bitter end to see if it would improve. It didn't.
The Phantom of The Opera -- with Robert Englund. When I saw it in the theatre, people began screaming savagely at the screen about how badly it sucked. I eventually left in a hurry for fear of being swept up in an orgy of hatred.
A Christmas Tale -- with Catherine Denuve. The ads made it look like something quirky & independent with a wry sense of humor. Boy, were we misled! 3 hours of French angst & incoherence. Absolutely no likeable characters. I was sad that they all didn't die horribly by the film's end.

That's really the top ones I can think of that I actually spent time to seek out at a theatre & pay full price for.

I think you should've stayed for Howard the Duck.

Just so you can say "I was there" !

Mr. DS · February 17, 2009, 01:45:41 PM

Austin Powers, Goldmember - Some people think this is the best one...I guess they didn't see the first two. They'd realize all three did was rehash the same old sh*t in part 3.

DUNE

I know this movie is terribly overwrought, has 3rd rate special effects, Kyle MacClachlan at times seesm like he has taking the William Shatner course in acting and the rest of the cast's dialogue is so campy it borders on what one sees in pornos (or so I'm told), but I still can't help but watch this when I see it on. It has some sort of weird hold on me. I might need an intervention, but there it is.

Oh and the woman who plays Paul's mother is very beautiful btw.

Watch this movie in the context of it being the 80s and of it being Lynch's first (and last?) taste of a budget that was not only big, but huge.

I understand people not liking Dune, but if you can't appreciate the effort that went into it then I can't believe you even bother watching movies at all.

Oh, and btw, if I ever see gluecuss, I am going to insist he admit that Revenge of the Sith was INTENTIONALLY bad. I've never really and trully wanted my money back at any other time.
