What a weird list you have there
Where is "Manos": the Hands of Fate? Curse of the Batwoman? Pumaman?
The Creeping Terror? Outlaw (of Gor)? Space Mutiny? Hobgoblins? Radar
Secret Service? Santa Claus Conquers the Martians? The Incredibly
Strange Creatures who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-up Zombies?
Future War? Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell? Escape 2000? Time
Chasers? Night Train to Mundo Fine (aka Red Zone: Cuba - any Coleman
Francis movie would qualify)
And that's just a few actually from MST3K, all worse than the list above.
Outisde of that; Leonard Part 6, Braveheart, Highlander 2, Glitter, all
Police Academy films, Double Cross, Look at Me, For Da Love of Money
and Pure (the last four are extremely obscure, but I have subtitled
them into Swedish and they are truly hideous).

You just unwittingly made my movie list for the next six months. I take pleasure in watching bad movies for laughs, although if they're too bad then they're not funny. And I thought Braveheart was decent. Sure, overdramatic as hell, but decent.

Well, seeing as there are (at least) 150 episodes of MST3K, and they're
mostly readily available online with the express permission of the
creators, you should have no problem filling a year with bad movies
commented on by two robots and a janitor.
As for Braveheart, it had no story arc and the violence was gratuitous
in the extreme, the combination of which left a really bad aftertaste.

The Last Drop. Worst movie I've ever seen that didn't have Tom Cruise in it.

^Oooh, I forgot about Cocktail. I swear that movie doesn't even begin to pretend having an actual plot.

One thing I forgot when posting above - I cannot leave this thread without defending Tim Burton (a previous posting was extremely scathing...); it's true, he doesn't always hit the mark (Big Fish and Planet Of The Apes come to mind), but when he does (Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, The Corpse Bride, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory), he can take dark fantasy/fairy tales to a new level - he gave Johnny Depp his first major break in movies (barring his awful appearance in A Nightmare On Elm Street  ), and their collaboration has continued ever since, with Depp going from strength to strength. |
He uses the same atmosphere for every movie he directs. You can instantly tell a Tim Burton film from 3 seconds of a preview. His obsession with snow and apparent belief that it makes any scene worth shooting really annoys me. I'm sorry but besides Edward Scissorhands all of those films you mentioned I found terrible. Especially in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I found one shot in that movie that didn't annoy me.
|
But what's wrong with Ed Wood? That movie isn't like any of his others in terms of atmosphere. And come on, how could anyone dislike Pee-Wee's Big Adventure?
BTW, I, too loathed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Hercules in New York - Never even heard of! |
Incredible, it's a classic of the worst movies.
The historic feature of this movie is that an unknown Arnold Strong (???) (California Governor's first artistic nickname) made his debut, they had to hire a person that dubbed his voice because he wasn't able to say California (Well, still he isn't able  ) and nobody in the crew could understand him (Can anybody understand him today?).
The plot (Is this necesary?)...well in one parragraph: Hercules gets tired of living in Mount Olympus and comes to earth to save a gym, rides his charriot in New York and defeats a gang of mobsters, at the end his father sends some gods to take him back but in this movie he doesn't say Ahhhhl bee bak.
If this wasn't enough torture Arnie was not happy and a few years ago included his own original voice again in this classic and of course changed the credits so the name Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared instead of Arnold Strong and somebody could buy this aberration or masterpiece (For anybody to decide).
Of course good Arnold Strong didn't got another role until 1973 (He was part of the secondary cast in The Long Goodbye) and then until he made Stay Hungry (1976) when he started using his real name.

I'm guessing you didn't see the Passion of the Christ EDIT: Oh, sorry, I didn't get the abbreviation, but I heard that show was really good so I'll look into it

I find the story one-dimensional, and again I don't find Tim Burton to do anything with the camera besides shoot whats infront of him throwing in a few irrelevent shots that people see as profound.
Forgot to mention Leprechaun 2: Back To The Hood. As much as the concept of a leprechaun mudering ghetto thugs while taking breaks to hit a bong and purchase a new grill intrigues me, the movie sucks.

Ooh Ooh Ooh, here's one - "Alexander"; I heard this film was so appalling that even the director (Oliver Stone, of all people) apologised for it, so I had to give it a go. I rented the director's cut thinking Oliver Stone would have cut out the more execrable shots...
Oh
My
God....!
What the hell was Colin Farrel thinking; OK there's been an upsurge in recent years with the sword & sandal epics (Gladiator, Troy & Kingdom Of Heaven for instance), but apart from anything else, there really was no excuse for that blond curly wig * - if this film had been promoted as a comedy (it certainly had me laughing), it may just have worked, but it just goes to prove that big budget + big name stars will never rescue a truly dodgy film.
I did learn one thing, though - I never realised that Alexander The Great was a Dublin boy; come on Colin... at least try to disguise the accent.
* Sorry for the use of an emoticon guys.

'Hercules In New York'- to be honest, I found that so awful it wasn't even funny bad. The original version is, however, hugely amusing as the voice dubber has a high pitched voice.

I robot was complete mindless dribble. I am a big fan of the book, and the movie had nothing to do with the book, It was just an excuse to show Will Smith's ass. I was disgusted by it.

I think you're missing something here. One of the finest movies in the last ten years.

I forget what it's called, but that awful film with Hulk Hogan in! I never expected it to be good anyhow, but it was appalling!
