Night of the Living Dead (1968 ver.)

Saw it when I was ten. Wasn’t freaked out by it…until I tried to sleep that night.

Birdemic: Shock and Terror

I was forced to watch this for a class. I hate to even mention its name.

The Maltese Falcon

I know that this is a very famous movie, but I couldn’t sympathize with any of its corrupt characters who excessively gabble at high speeds.

Transformers (the first one)

I used to love these movies, until I rewatched this first one during last Lent. It was almost painful to sit through! Forced, raunchy teen humor, cheesy dialogue, gaping plot holes… The sequels aren’t any better (and in some ways, they’re worse).

I have basically boycotted the Transformers movies since the masturbation joke in the first one. :rolleyes:

We always fast-forwarded that part, but it would have been just as fine to fast-forward the whole movie.

Well, I was watching it in the theater where there is no fast-forward button. 😛 Haven’t watched that movie since.
I remember that I snuck a peek at the first few minutes of the third one when it was on Netflix, but otherwise, I’ve actively avoided the series.

It’s best that you have. It’s not just that the movies are offensive, but extensive sequences of mindless, explosive violence bores me now (though I still appreciate the work that the animators put into the robots). I need substantial characters to keep me interested in the story.

If you’ve seen it, I envy you. Turner Classic Movies?

I have *not *seen it, but it was on one of the other cable networks just recently i.e. not on TCM and within the last month. I cannot remember which channel, unfortunately. I knew about it prior to that, though, and stupidly chose not to see it that day…(((sigh)))…maybe it will be shown again soon. All part of the pain of being a movie junkie/buff, I guess. 😃
 
The worst movie ever made is by far

The attack of the killer tomatoes.

The second is

Blair witch project

I literally laughed during the whe movie since it was that bad.
 
Birdman is one of the worst movies I’ve ever had the misfortune to have paid to see at the cinema.
 
I was going to post this! We watched it a few days before it won the Academy Award for best picture. We only paid $5 to see it on Amazon, but what a waste! My husband and I love offbeat movies, too, and we thought Birdman was atrocious! :eek:

I’ve never seen it, but the little-known John Wayne biography about Genghis Khan (sounds like I’m joking, I know, but I assure you I’m not) The Conquerer is supposed to be one of the all time worst. I would love to see it!

Sadly, it seems they don’t make bad films like they used to. Now the bad films are just boring (and the better ones too).

Honestly? This movie deserves to be on the list of worst films ever made, not even for its sheer badness (which it is undeniably full of – John Wayne as Genghis Khan. Let that sink in, pilgrim.) but instead for the sole fact that it single-handedly may have ultimately killed off a large chunk of its cast and contributed to its producer going looney-tunes later in life.

Howard Hughes thought it’d be a great idea to film out in the Nevada desert – downwind from the then recently concluded “Upshot-Knothole” atom bomb tests (which included firing a nuke from an artillery howitzer. Some publicity photos even had Wayne, Susan Hayward et. al holding Geiger counters, apparently as if this was a selling point…) Then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, Hughes decided to cart tons of the soil back to Hollywood for studio shoots. :doh2: All this resulted, predictably, in a higher-than normal incidence of cancer among the cast and crew, ultimately felling Wayne, Hayward, Pedro Armindariz, Agnes Moorhead, director Dick Powell and roughly 46 others – in all 91 members of the cast and crew would be diagnosed with some form of cancer. Hughes felt so bad that later in life, once he was a recluse, he apparently bought each and every copy and forbade it to be screened again during his lifetime, but watched it obsessively himself until his death.

When you said, “for the sole fact that it single-handedly may have ultimately killed off a large chunk of its cast,” I thought you merely meant their careers. :eek:

It hardly killed Wayne’s career; his Oscar win (for True Grit) was still to come.
 
Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)

One of the most boring movies I’ve ever seen. The characters were uninteresting; the plot was hardly there; the action was nothing but excessive slow-motion.
 
The Watchman
The Fifth Element
Time Bandits
Charits of Fire
Lucy
Chronicles of Riddick - Not to be confused with Pitch Black or Riddick with are awesome movies.
