Despite all the talk about disney, Hollywood, media, war, biden, putin, Rihanna, slapping, masking etc
Maybe we can have some fun today
What is the worst movie you ever watched?
I can agree some movies are so bad that they are funny, certainly you can include those too.
Rocky Horror has been shown at Midnight every Friday night at the Plaza Theater in Atlanta for decades.
Aztec Rex. So bad it’s good. Cortez and Aztecs have to join forces to fight a T-Rex. The T-Rex they built Pyramids to sacrifice virgins to. T-Rex comes up and chomps her from the altar. All the Aztec chicks are eager not to be virgins. And they all run around in skimpy leather bikinis.
If you ever have wanted to see a Spaniard’s cannonball bounce off a T-rex’s skull with no effect, this is your film.

It’s supposed to be “comedy”, but all I see is “commode-y”.
“Heaven’s Gate”, 1980. Oh, the pain of watching poor, downtrodden people roller-skating, oppressed immigrants fighting with brand new Henry rifles, and struggling farmers trying to make it to California (never thinking of stopping in any of the prime farmland they pass through on the way). The only good part of this movie was afterwards, hearing all the “intellectuals” rail on and on about how this was the best movie ever when those born with a lick of sense really wanted to watch “El Dorado” just to get the taste of this stinky western out of our brains.
Also Citizen Kane was truly bad. The only reason that was rated so highly is because it was about Hollywood, for Hollywood.
Massively overrated.
‘he goes too far with the gratuitous violence. Especially with “Reservoir Dogs”’
He goes farther in other movies, like “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood”, but for some reason, gratuitous violence against murderous hippies just didn’t affect me the same as gratuitous violence against a rookie cop...
I suffered through the whole thing because I had my girlfriend with me but I agree that was a real snoozefest.
Generally speaking, whenever a movie is universally hailed by critics as "Oscar-worthy", it's usually a virtue-signaling piece of dreck you want to avoid.
"Bareback Mountain", "Yentl", "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Harriet" comes to mind as other examples. There are many others.
Well, no one has weighed in with Barton Fink so I guess I will. Only movie we walked out on, after maybe half at a theater.
That sounds awesome!
Who Framed Roger Rabbit...
I know this question was a thread maybe 10 or 15 years ago here on FR. At the time I said 200 Motels the Frank Zappa movie. I saw it in a double feature and it was the first show so everyone was sort of a captive audience. They applauded when it ended and it wasn’t because they liked it. Some Freeper then replied it wasn’t fair to include that as a movie since it was done on videotape and then transferred to film stock. The quality of the image wasn’t the problem however but the content.
The Green Hornet with Seth Rogan. I left after about 20 minutes. I’m still cheesed off over that pos movie and Rogans performance. So much wrong with that movie. However I did love the car.
Hubby said that “I Saved Hitler’s Brain” is playing on Tubi now.
Since it was essentially about William Randolph Hearst, who everyone who was anyone (or so they thought!) hated. It had to be great by definition!
You have terrible taste.
There is a Director’s Cut of Highlander 2 that makes it slightly better.
However, look up The Assembly Cut of Alien 3. I thought it was awesome.
I really hated “Love Story”. It might not be the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but Ali McGraw is dreadful and the movie script is corny. The book also was corny.
True, the main plot was lifted from “City on Fire”, but really in Reservoir Dogs the plot is only a backdrop. We don’t see the heist, we don’t find out what happens to the jewels, and we don’t even really know the fate of the main characters, because the plot is not actually what Tarantino wants the viewer to focus on. He just needed a plot as a framework to hang his characters and dialogue on, which is whole focus of the movie.
Like the movie or not, it’s not really plagiarism when you understand it from that perspective, anymore than “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” plagiarized MacBeth.
Movie critics all went apeshit over that one....
