Oh, and how could I ever forget, even though I wish I could from the bottom of my heart? The Billy Jack films. I could say more about them, but this is a Catholic forum.

I think anything with Will Ferrell is the worst movie ever made. With the excpetion of Elf, which I think is hysterical. I think it is different from his other stuff.
His other stuff just is not funny at all. Anchorman was terrible, and the one where he is an ice skater. Other people like him so I wind up sitting through these things. I would rather have my head stapled to the carpet!
 
If you want to see an actor with bi-polar watch any of Robin Williams live stand ups.

For me, Twilight. GAAAAAH!

I agree!

I still haven’t even seen Crystal Skull, just a few minutes of it on TV. I heard it was so AWFUL from so many people that I guess I don’t want to see my beloved Indy dragged through the mud of a lame movie. I heard there were “monkey people” or something like that…ay yay yay…

Why can’t they just keep the formula simple, tried and true? Nazis, magical objects, whips, fear of snakes, lots of violence, humor, and at least “some” feasibility? 😛

No “monkey people”, but there are monkey’s which behave far too intellegently (i.e. help attack the commies) and a CG tarzan scene with Shea Lebomf (sp?) that was terrible. I do have it on blueray, I’ve seen it a couple times and it’s my least favorite by far of the films. Mainly I’ve watched it merely because it is Indiana Jones.
 
Life is Beautiful. Can’t believe it won the Oscar. Central Station, which was nominated in the same category, was much better (trailer in English here).

Battlefield Earth. Anything that has to do with Scientology is bad.

Cable Guy. I like Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick, but this film is so bad. It’s supposed to be a comedy, but it doesn’t come even close.

Moulin Rouge. Although I like musicals (Grease being my favorite).

Crossroads, starring Britney Spears. Ewww!

Borat.

Godfather III. Darn Sofia Coppolla! Worst actress ever!

Anaconda and its sequels.

Dogma.

Not Another Teen Movie.

There’s something about Mary. Though I love Cameron Diaz.

A Clockwork Orange.

Twighlight and its sequels.

Titanic II - youtube.com/watch?v=f720MNvOeVc (it’s a real film)

Beauty and the Beast - live action version starring Estella Warren (the blonde from Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes)

Speed II

The Italian Job (the original one, starring Michael Cane)

Junior (Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito)

There are others that I can’t remember right now.
 
“Enough” with Jennifer Lopez. That movie is so painful to watch I almost wish the abusive husband won in the end. “The Man with the Golden Gun” had to be the worst Bond movie ever.
 
Anything with Jennifer Lopez is automatically painful. But “The Man with the Golden Gun” was a fun flick! I liked it actually. I love the AMC hornet chase scene, liked Christopher Lee’s rendition of Scaramanga, and I loved the exotic location in Thailand. Having traveled to Thailand, it was cool to watch. I hated Mary Goodnight, she was uber annoying! sheesh! I thought it was a cool movie overall. I think “Moonraker” was the lousiest Bond flick…

Zardoz and Solarbabies. Even Sean Connery couldn’t help the hippy-trek that was Zardoz and its magical crystals of advanced technology and reincarnation/immorality.:rotfl:

And I agree that Will Ferrell is not funny. Neither is Ben Stiller.
 
Catwoman
Golden Compass (though I love Nicole Kidman, it’s sad that she decided to do the movie)
Anaconda series

Jesus Christ Superstar?

Which? The 1973 or the 2000 version? 😉

For the record, I’d also add The Last Temptation of Christ here. I wouldn’t call it ‘the worst’, but I just don’t like the film, not so much on theological grounds, but rather on artistic ones. The book, even though it was still flawed, was slightly better IMHO. But then again, I kind of appreciate it for what it is: an unintended comedy. I mean, kung-fu Jesus? 😃

The most recent truly lousy movie I’ve seen is “Black Swan.” I danced with NYC Ballet for twenty-two years, and I assure you that the real ballet world is nothing like that lunacy depicted on screen. We would have throttled such an “artistic director.” I didn’t even care for the choreography, the Black Swan coda was possibly the worst interpretation I’ve ever seen. Possibly the only redeeming work was the costuming and the special effects. Tschaikovsky’s score saved this one from the cutting room floor.

I can’t believe this psychotic abortion won Oscars! Phooey! I nearly threw my popcorn at the screen!

Other horrendomas:

Easy Rider: Acclaimed as an art and countercultural film in the 1960s, it is unwatchable unless one has consumed mass quantities of marijuana. I hadn’t. I fell asleep. Again, the only saving grace was some of the old music.

The Truth about Cats and Dogs: Ridiculous phone sex. The ASPCA should have been called in with that poor dog with roller skates tied to his paws.

The Breakfast Club: Those kids deserve after school detention a la Catholic high school standards.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: Again, more Catholic high school detention would be in order here.

Dumb and Dumber: Enough said!

Now pardon me, I have to go find an antacid. Or possibly an antiemetic!:mad:

See, this is why I don’t go to the movies any longer.

Just curious as to whether you’d seen The Turning Point and what you thought of THAT.
 
Black Swan is not about the real ballet world. It is a backdrop for something quite deeper.

Turning Point was interesting. Dreams. Lost dreams. I enjoyed it.

Black Swan is a fable. But a dark tale for sure.

Inside Daisy Clover was pretty bad.
 
I’ve seen too many bad movies to list here! 😛

But honestly, one of the worst I saw in the actual theater was The Brady Bunch Movie, back when I was a senior in high school. I wanted to walk out SO BAD but I couldn’t because I was with friends.

I have to diagree with these whole heartedly, these are excellent examples of filmmaking. Not just not bad, these are up there. Although I do admit Godfather III is the most contravertial of them, however I think it was the perfect ending for the Corlion family.

This is a bad move, but it’s supposed to be. It’s a scifi B movie that uses junk science to discuss the global warming (fable). It’s a movie you like explicitly because of it’s all round bad production values.

Unless of course, your not the scifi b movie type? 🤷

Be glad you didn’t see A Very Brady Sequel – the ending implied that both the Brady’s had previously been married to characters from other sitcoms.

Add The Thing With Two Heads to the list.
