OT: Worst movie of all time

[bbfanLA]

My worst movie experience was How High, a stoner movie from the early 2000s. I was a movie studio publicist then. I was supposed to sit through 5 pre-release screenings to get all the audience reactions for a report. After three screenings, I was going to stab my brain if I had to watch that movie again, so for the fourth and fifth screenings, I patched together stuff from the first three screenings to make my report.

Is Dawn recruiting that woman?

I love John Candy, but he had a pair I couldn't get through 15 minutes of... Canadian Bacon and Wagon's East.

Ok, maybe not the worst of all time, but The American Beauty won the Oscar and I hated it. There wasn’t a single character, good or bad, I could identify with and I wanted them all to die to put themselves out of their misery.

As Mark Twain remarked about "The Deerslayer", you "hated the good people in it, were indifferent to the others and wanted them all to get drowned together!", right?

That was the whole idea. ALL the characters were reprehensible. Annette Benning's and Kevin Spacey's characters deserved each other. I loved that movie.

I think that the worst movie by far (acknowledged by many) is "Plan Nine from Outer Space". If you can find it, see it! So bad it's funny...maybe. An Ed Wood special, it has to beat them all.

I was hoping someone would nominate Plan 9. I was channel surfing the other night and happened to pause on TCM and heard that the next movie coming up had that rep. I figured that something that bad had to be worth watching. I managed to get through about half of it. its reputation was well earned. There are 'movies so bad they are good". This was not one of them.

So did a lot of people. For me, if I want all the characters to screw off, it doesn’t work. I know several other people who hated it. It was also a virtual theft of a Sigourney Weaver flick called “The Ice Storm” set in Connecticut during a true big ice storm. The characters, like those in The American Beauty, including the kids, were all miserable. Not my idea of entertainment. I need to identify with at least one character, hero or villain. Had to love Rickman in Die Hard.

On the general idea of horrible movies, if you’ve never played the game Balderdash, there is a category of actual movie titles you have to make up what you think was the story line. It’s a miracle if anyone has actually heard of any of them and I’d guess they all rank with the worst of the worst.

The one I hate is Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Ugly and unfunny and an insult to the use of "Once Upon a Time In".

 

[Shenandoah]

Hands down, for me? "Open Water" Absolutely.

Plan 9 is certainly a bad movie, but it isn't even the worst movie that Ed Wood made. For truly horrible, check out Wood's "Glen or Glenda".

The Three Amigos. I remember going to the movies with friends to see this. We couldn't drive yet... so my mother dropped us off and picked us up. In retrospect.. I have NO idea why we chose to see it. I need to apologize to my mother for wasting gas driving us.

What did you find endearing about Alan Rickman in Did Hard?
Was it his appetite for the Bearer Bonds?
Or his wanton destruction of Nakatomi Plaza?

He was great. You could hate him with joy. A villain’s villain.

The Ridiculous 6 (2015), like the name, ridiculous, again another Adam Sandler movie.

Currently at the end of the 8 perfect movies thread. While I disagree with the list in some cases I feel confident that there will be many more entries in the worst movie of all time. list your worst three or just the one movie that really made you want to scream because it was so bad.
I have a list of 8 but the all time worst movie for me was one I walked out on "The Hitch Hikers Guide To the Galaxy." Still have a hard time believing I sat through more than half of it.

Wow. I love that movie. I'm sure I can think of dozens of movies infinitely worse than that. To each their own though.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not really sure about worst movie ever, but probably anything directed by Uwe Boll would be in the running.

 

[chrissaran]

Someone told me this movie wasn't horrible, but I disagreed. The Spirit starring Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, and Eva Mendes. An absolutely horrible movie.
