Worst Films of All Time?
Posted on 01/06/2010 9:42:42 AM PST by ctdonath2
In the spirit of the current thread "Best Films of all Time?", I just have to ask for the other end of the spectrum.
I don't mean "Night of the Lupus", "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", or other standard bad/forgettable films. I don't mean just box-office flops. I want to see tour-de-force bad.

My kickoff offerings:
Russian Ark - a grand effort at a single-take movie. One camera, running non-stop for 90 minutes, wanders through a Russian museum as 2000 actors do their part depicting history and fantasy when it arrives. Laudable attempt, mind-numbingly boring.
Playtime - three-year studio-busting grand-scale comedy of a man lost in the urban/bureaucratic jungle. Big-frame photography captures far more action than normal films ... but in doing so loses the story, relegating the result to big budget small humor. Methinks it is an accidental depiction of an autistic's view of the world: so much visual information being absorbed that normal storylines disappear into the noise, leaving only fragments of humor.

Only because I saw it recently: “It Runs in the Family,” the misbegotten sequel to “A Christmas Story.” Ludicrous.

My offering is perhaps a subset of your category. The worst rendition of a book to movie that I've seen is Dune. At the time the movie first came out I'd read the book twice, once just weeks before I saw the movie and I was unable to follow the story in the movie. I think they've reedited and redone it, but I doubt it's much better.

95% of all films made in the last ten years. Too numerous to even begin listing. Worst movie of all time, though, continues to be Ishtar. None will ever topple it from #1.

Fantastic insofar as an impressive concept actually carried out. Watching it with the director’s commentary soundtrack was interesting; watching with standard audio was booooooooooooring.

Didn’t think The Mexican was so bad. Not great, but not among the worst.
