OKAY PROG FANS!! what are the WORST movies you have ever seen.Now you may not agree with a movies philsophy or political bent(i object to "life Of Brian" for philosophical reasons BUT IT IS NOT A "BAD" MOVIE AS SUCH,it is very well made) but i am thinking more in terms of Acting Special Effects Direction Continuity(now theres a whole new thread "Movie Mistakes"!!) etc for example the movie "Fire Maidens From Outer Space"....i didnt Know the moons of Jupiter Had cows fences and cars in the background!!...anyway lets keep the politics out and stick to the fun stuff(and remember..some films are so bad,they are fun to watch so you can include those if you like!!!) Oh and by the way try and stick to Mainstream movies (such as hollywood ,britain etc) which reached wide international release so that we can relate(HEY!! you can even have a go at my country, for instance "Evil Angels" with Meryl Streep and Sam Neil....."the Dingo Took My Baby!!.......worst Accent..Ever!!(ComicBook Man)

I would have to put my thinking cap on so as to work out some really bad movies from my memeory(maybe later) but what I find amazing is the acting of Sean Connery. Why is he meant to be such a great actor when all he does is play the same guy in every film?

He plays an English secret agent with a scottish accent in the films he is best remembered for but the best was when he played a Russian Sub Captain....with a scottish accent. I reckon he has probably played characters from other countries as well...with a Scottish accent but again, i cannot think of them right now( we lost an hours sleep last night, when the clocks went forward)

I really hated Gozilla because it had no plot at all...or a very bad one

Worst movies I've ever seen:

"Beach Girls and the Monster"

"The Giant Leaches"

   <SMILIE>

Both make "Plan 9 From Outer Space" look like "Gone With The Wind"

But most of these movies can have redeeming qualities. Van Damme even has good films (Timecop). The thing is about really INEPT films in all departments: See Ator 2 (AKA Cave Dwellers, AKA The Blade Master) or most Jess Franco films to see what I mean).

John Carpenenter's 'Ghosts Of Mars' may be a contender with a Marylyn Mansun lookalike villain and painfull heavy metal soundtrack.I have to say I enjoyed the silliness of it! Other 'bad' films I've enjoyed include 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' and 'Deep Blue Sea' .The Finnish director Renne Harlin seems to have done a few of these!

And have you noticed that some of the worst movies made recently seem to have Ben Afflek in them?! (Pearl Harbour,Gigli etc)

British films wise steer well clear of 'Stupid Cows' despite the presence of the lovely Anna Friel this is an abominable so-called 'comedy'.There's quite a few bad British films funded by lottery money and government grants and this is one example.

As far as real 'groaners' are concerned, "The Flintstones" movie has to be one of the worst piles of doo-doo ever to have come out of hollywood - needless to say I didn't bother with "Viva Rock Vegas"

For sheer sentimental USA saves the world (again!) schmaltz, you'd have to go for Independence Day - nice visuals, but an appalling film.

Another nice visuals film, but the worst movie(in my opinion, anyway) ever made, though, has to be "Titanic" - the lovely Oirish people (all of whom, naturally, spent all their time laughing, drinking & dancing jigs - as all 'Oirish' people do - I'm surprised there were no leprechauns in the rigging) kept in the bottom of the liner by the Nasty Evil Brits (who all had moustaches & spent their time drinking port, plotting, and hiding American accents) - the sinking caused by the lookout watching DiCaprio kiss Winslett instead of the bloody big iceberg right in front of him - and the bloody awful ending aaaaaaaahhhhh, united in death....... aint that just so CUTE?? PASS ME THE SICK BAG, MOTHER!!!. The effects were OK, though.....

I only saw "Flinstones, Viva Rock Vegas"(the sequal) WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!! that song and dance sequence at the end...EMBARRASSING!!.I must admit i was a bit mystified by the success of "Titanic" , the sinking of the ship was spectacular with great special effects and an excellent "Slowly dying Dinosaur" feel but overall after seeing it i walked out the theatre shrugging my shoulders and saying......EH!!(is there an emoticon for "indifferant"?) As for Independace Day the first 45 minutes..Excellent!...Tense,A great sense of mounting dread and fear etc if only they kept that up....The presidents wife dying,WHAT DID SHE DIE OF??,she looked alright to me,and the uploading of the virus..CMON would thier computer language be compatible with ours?.And if they were far more advanced than we are wouldnt they have some sort of  advanced virus detection system?..lazy script writing...(GREAT SPECIAL FX THOUGH!!)

But if there are some NICE visuals, at least there is something positive. What I think Dude was asking for were terribly inept films, from every possible point of view. Movies with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

If you think Independence Day or The Flinstones are really bad movies, I suspect certain italian exploitation movies from the 80s could really cause you brain damage

Well, it has at least a Goblin soundtrack wich is somehow disturbing. In fact it's a long time since I saw it, and, although I don't really like Argento, I must admit he has an especial directing eye, what means their films have at least some redeeming qualities...

On the other hand, you can check any non-porn Joe D'Amato or Jess Franco flick to know what 'cinematographic pain' can mean. Hell, I'm right now at work going through a list of films to buy for my channel and you can't imagine the amount of poop I'm reading in this catalogue.... ooops... 'Murderock'.... directed by Lucio Fulci... music by Keith Emerson (gasp!)

BTW, many professional movie critics like to call Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space" the worst movie ever made.

Nope.  It's not even the worst movie that Wood made.  That dubious honor goes to spectacularly awful "Night of the Ghouls".

Howard the Duck.....

Worst Actor: Keanu Reeves. An animated stick figure. I laugh watching his robotic skills. Second: Kevin Costner. Ever seen this movie:

 

Robin Hood with an American Midwestern accent. Pitiful. Everyone else had and accent but the main character. EGADS!!!! Let's not mention Waterworld.

I can understand B movies having warts, but the big box office stuff...........

"Saturday Night Fever"

I saw this awfull movie right in '77 when I was 100% in prog rock

No, I was not masochist, I only wanted to please a friend

(a very short love story indeed !!)
