Worst movie ever

[GaudinosWheels]

Conan the Barbarian.

Simply dreadful.

 

[PaulPowerScreamer]

First Knight
A schmaltzy American take on the Arthurian legend
Connery there for his paycheque and Gere (as ever) staring into the middle distance, trying to pass it off as acting.

In 30 years of being with Mrs Goldblatt, this is one of only 3 visits to the cinema we've had. Dreadful film

This made me think about Excalibur, definitely not the worst film ever but proof that Camelot is indeed a silly place. Actually quite entertaining but not in the way they intended, the guy playing Merlin puts in a performance that would have Brian Blessed telling him to tone it down a touch. Helen Mirren and Cherie Lunghi show a bit of flesh, which is obviously a plus - actually on reflection I may move this to the greatest film thread

Nicol Williamson played Merlin. Once touted as equal to Brando. Liked a pint and a cig. It is an eccentric performance but it works as wizards are fairly eccentric and weird when you think about it.
Great use of Wagner on the soundtrack. Young Gabriel Byrne and Liam Neeson in there. Good film.

Anything in black and white.

Are you 12?

I saw Trainspotting at the movies and a good few walked out during the first half hour, very strange.

As an early 20 year old a few of us got a rake of beers and took them into the Movies to watch the great Rock and Roll Swindle. One of our mates was in there on his first date with his new girlfriend. They were sat a few rows in front and were the recipients of empty beer cans. Looking back it was a bit mean, however 4 kids and 43 years later they’re still together.

Great story :)

Not the worst, worst film ever but Godfather 3 is absolutely horrendous when you consider what it followed.

Genuinely dreadful.

Er no....

 

[pride in battle]

Obviously, I’ve not seen loads of films that I’ve imagined to be shite in the first place. One that I did see at the pictures though was The Accidental Tourist. So bad, I fell asleep in the cinema. My then girlfriend was well annoyed. I’ve no idea how that film won so many awards.
The only other film that’s sent me to the land of nod was the execrable DaVinci Code. Tried watching it twice. Couldn’t get past the first 25 mins.

A bit thick then ? ;)

There's only one answer to this...



One of the all-time great acting performances.

The Room is unintentionally brilliant.

It has to be seen to be believed and for that reason it's earned it's legendary status. Worst film of all time needs to be boring, disinteresting, overly long, zero payoff and a complete sense of time wasted.

Babadook.

 

[Metal Biker]

Babadook.

It had its moments and was genuinely an interesting angle at a horror. I agree it did take a while for anything to "happen", but overall I thought it was entertaining enough and had a satisfying, albeit cliched twist, that the horror aspect "came from within". Oooooh.

 

[pride in battle]

Wat!

- Millers Crossing (1990)
- Fargo (1996)
- No Country For Old Men (2007)
- True Grit (2010)
- Tragedy of Macbeth (2021)

All good stuff, sir!

Forgo was SHIT...can't stand the actress...what's her name ? Fucking dog shite

Octa Man (1971). Half man, half octopus. At one point the heroes incapacitate Octa Man by lighting a fire round him 'to suck the oxygen out of the air'. It works. That's the level we're playing at here.

Blood Freak (1972). Man smokes experimental weed and slowly turns into a blood-sucking Turkey. Not a bad costume that makes the monster look like a turkey, the plot is actually set on a turkey farm.

The worst big-budget movie I've ever seen is Armageddon. It manages to be dumb, full of scumbag characters, horribly over-sentimental and that fucking aerosmith song plays every 10 minutes. By halfway I was really pulling for the asteroid.

Armegeddon is a classic:)

I don't remember what happened as I have erased it from my mind.
I just know that right after I watched it I wanted to offer the poster on here that had suggested I watch it out.

Its meant to be about dealing with grief. That's the overall undertone of the film, with the "grief" taking the form of the Babadook and her learning to accept the "babadook" into her life is symbolic of her allowing herself to grieve the loss of her hubby.

It is very much a B material movie though i must admit.

The film I'VE never understood, and i'm sure i'll piss a lot of people off with this, is 2001: A Space Odyssey. I've tried people, i've REALLY tried to understand it's symbolism , it's tone, it's 'message', and the best I can come up with is AI bad, hoomans create AI which turn bad, but Hoomans created Ai so we are our own doom merchants, whoops irony.

Conan the Barbarian.

Simply dreadful

Conan's heart wrenching prayer to Crom before engaging against insurmountable odds at the Battle Of The Mound, tears at the heartstrings and sinews of every fan of the genre.

Anyway .. All that matters is two stood against many!

Errr not quite.
Are you 80..? Get with the times grandad, we've got coloured telly now.

I think we’ll just forgo your opinion on this one, and Godfather 3 for that matter, which actually was a shit film.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Armegeddon is a classic:)

From that era when every film had to be made twice.

Armageddon and Deep Impact
Volcano and Dante's Peak
A Bugs Life and Antz

Conan the Barbarian.

Simply dreadful.

The Original is one of my all time favourite movies. I read Conan books when I was a kid and Arnold embodied everything Conan

I never got it either. Always puzzled me as a kid. Space odyssey.
