the 10 worst movies you've seen in your life

[bob]

I got the idea for this from the 10 best thread.

The only precursor for a film to be listed is that you must have watched the entire movie and not fastforwarded through it or gave up on it while watching.

Here are mine.

1 Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star (2011)
2 Foodfight! (2012)
3 Monster A Go Go (1965)
4 North (1994)
5 Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
6 Epic Movie (2007)
7 Disaster Movie (2008)
8 Magnolia (1999)
9 Batman & Robin (1997)
10 Battlefield Earth (2002)


dishonorable mentions: Mac and Me, Howard the Duck, The Beast of Yucca Flats, Catwoman, Gigli, House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Ready to Rumble, Puppet Master: The Legacy, Saw 7, Die Another Day, Godzilla (1998), Dreamcatcher, An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn, Salvation Boulevard, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Crash, The Wizard of Oz

By "WORST", do you mean enjoyably inept, or painful to watch?

[indianasmith]

This is gonna be kind of hard, but here goes:

FULL MOON OVER BLUE WATER - Gene Hackman couldn't save this piece of dreck.
FAMILY PROPERTY: BACKWOODS HILLBILLY MASSACRE - Awful beyond words.
BULLY - Yes, it was an A-list movie with some talented actors, but I hated every single character.
THE BLOOD SHED - a porcine fifty something man pretending to be a girl named Beef-Tina and dragging a dead squirrel around
SKYLINE - Horrible, depressing alien movie, albeit with some cool effects. Still . . .
SPAWN - I just couldn't make myself like this one at all.
GANGS OF NEW YORK - Long, long, too long, and BORING!
THE THIN RED LINE - stream of consciousness World War II movie utterly lost me
BIGFOOT VS. D.B. COOPER - sounded like fun, wound up being a full hour of homoeroticism and five minutes of Bigfoot!
SUPERMAN RETURNS - I generally like bigscreen superhero movies, but this made BATMAN AND ROBIN look like THE DARK KNIGHT!!!!

painful and unenjoyable

[Trevor]

For obvious personal reasons, these are mine.

CRY FREEDOM
[Anti-South African garbage made by people who should know better]

LETHAL WEAPON 2
[Same as above: not all South Africans are racist, gun toting, drug and currency smugglers]

A DRY WHITE SEASON
[A film about racists made by a self-confessed racist]

A WORLD APART
[Film about terrorists as a family]

THE WILBY CONSPIRACY
[More anti-South African garbage with Nairobi standing in for Johannesburg. What the hell were Sidney Poitier and Sir Michael Caine doing in this? Rutger Hauer too?]

THE COLOUR OF FRIENDSHIP
[Disney pap saying that children were killed here for their political beliefs: go to hell, Kevin Hooks!]

LOST HORIZON (1973)
The first film I ever saw that made me a bad movie fan: even at the age of six, I knew this was rubbish.

ET THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL
[A film which states that my God is a butt ugly dwarf alien? No thank you.]

DISTRICT 9
[An anti-South African film made to look like a sci-fi film: excruciating viewing]

CITY OF VIOLENCE (2013)
[French made garbage showing Cape Town as a crime ridden filth pit]

If it is enjoyable, it is not bad. Is the main point of the whole site you are after all.


ET? Lethal Weapon 2? Really strange list Trevor :) Perhaps the "personal obvious reasons" are so obvious to me after all...


About me, I can't make ten. But the #1 is definitely "After Last Season" and #2 is "Star Wars, the Holiday Special!"

[zombie no.one]

Cabin In The Woods (2012). - yes, this is the most painful, unenjoyable movie I've ever sat through in my entire life. my opinion of humanity as a whole including myself actually dropped a few notches after watching it. I want to remove it from my memory but I can't.

the rest are in no order, but all of them pained me greatly in a way that means I can't forgive them

Hitch Hike (1978)
I Spit On Your Grave (1978)
Halloween 5 (1989)
Steel Trap (2007)
Pumpkinhead (1989)
The Aristocrats (2005)
Aftershock (2012)
Inbred (2011)
The Card Player (2004)

Probably forgetting a few, and if I was including films I never actually finished the list would be mostly different

02 Return of the Boogeyman (1994)

04 Invasion from Inner Earth (1974)

[The Burgomaster]

03 Curse of the Headless Horseman (1972)

This is actually the #1 worst movie I have ever seen.  But it didn't fit in with my list, which consists of mainstream stinkers.  Curse of the Headless Horseman is a true curse in every sense of the word.

[Rev. Powell]

Very difficult, because the worst movies are mostly incredibly boring and hard to remember. Here's 10 movies I gave 1 star on IMDB:

BEDWAYS (2010)
HEAVEN'S GATE (1980)
DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN (2005)
MOON OF THE WOLF (1972)
THE SCREAMING SKULL (1952)
CONTAMINATION .7 [AKA THE CRAWLERS] (1993)
THE UNKNOWN WORLD (1951)
THE INCREDIBLE PETRIFIED WORLD (1957)
THE CURSE OF BIGFOOT (1976)
VIXEN HIGHWAY 2006: IT CAME FROM URANUS (2010) - Not only is it terrible, incomprehensible and unfunny, it's 3.5 hours long. I dare you to watch it. I dare you.

[The Burgomaster]

HEAVEN'S GATE (1980)

I didn't see this movie until about a year ago on Netflix.  I didn't think it was a terrible movie.  I thought its biggest offense was that it took much too long to tell a story that could have been told in under 2 hours.

You probably saw the director's cut, which is supposed to be a lot better than the hacked-to-death edit I saw on VHS. I haven't seen that one, but no way am I watching HEAVEN'S GATE again.

Yes, it was the director's cut.
