Worst movie ever

[lefty goldblatt]

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

Excalibur remains one of my favourite films. One of the few reasons why I've still got a DVD player (it's away in a side room). I don't recall much flesh from the two mentioned, but Ygraine revealed a bit. A great analogy between Williamson and Blessed. Really made me laugh.

Brilliant - I understand personal choice but to cite the LOTR trilogy under worst film ever made needs a huge leap of imagination.

Just isnt my bag, i said when i first mentioned it that i was gonna get slated as i understand that people absolutely adore those films but i just didnt get it, same with star wars its a good film but not the life changing religious experience some make it out to be

 

[pride in battle]

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

Don't get me on Brewsters Millions...;)

Avatar, the James Cameron one. 2+ hours of utter shit.

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

You ever seen Psycho, no not Hitchcock's classic, the Vince Vaugn "masterpiece"?
It was made specifically for people like you.

What about Schindler's List?
Dr Strangelove?
Raging Bull?
Clerks?
Young Frankenstein?
American History X?
Some Like it Hot?
...etc...etc...etc

I'll point you in the direction of La Haine (but it's a French film and it's got subtitles so "modern" attention spans probably won't gel with that concept) and you can thank me later ;)

Everyone seems to be naming some of the best films ever made so i thought I'd join in. Such a stupid thread.
Oh and Interstellar is my favourite film of all time

What a film!

Oh right. I thought it was shit

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

What a film!

yeah, but meh! it's in black and white, so apparently it's not worth watching and is therefore one of the worst films ever ;)

Add Woody Allen's Manhattan, Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, oh and a whole cartload of classic westerns — start with High Noon, take it from there…

I've always preferred The Third Man to Citizen Kane, but I think we're singing from the same song sheet

 

[BLUEYESTU]

The French Dispatch. People go mad over Wes Anderson films and all the top actors fall over themselves to appear in them even if only for a few minutes, but I just don’t understand the appeal. His films are pretentious shite!

 

[Victorinodennistua]

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!

Good film, the 2nd one Conan the destroyer was a pile of shite. The remake was pointless too.

Jesus wept, I was already constructing my ranty reply in my head when I saw this second post.

My reply was going to include things like;

* attention seeker
* thundercunt
* know nothing
* philistine
* perma-ban

Glad I didn't immediately hit the "reply" button. ;)

That's a great film too.

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning

Part of the golden age of British realist cinema, which also included The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (Tom Courtenay), and This Sporting Life (Richard Harris).
Both in b & w, unless I'm mistaken.
Oh, just thought of Kind Hearts and Coronets.

But of course this is all stuff for old fogeys.

By the way, I was critical of LOTR earlier. I don't think they're the worst movies ever made, far from it. I'm not even sure that I understand what that might mean. I think what people are mostly saying here is “Films that bored the living shit out of me”. Which is not quite the same thing, it seems to me.

Agree on all except The Godfather and Dead Mans Shoes.
