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.
I loved Inglourious Basterds.
Probably the best tour of the Hermitage I'll ever get to see.
Curses be upon you.
“So how about The Neverending Story???”
FAAALLCOORRRR!!!!!!
LOL
by far the worst movie EVER
Dune is about a young man who finds out that there is a secret society of Knights that have special powers and the hero turns out to be one of them. They fight an evil empire as rebels and there is a planet with giant worms under the sand that eats people.
Jabberwocky
City Slickers
And that Star Trek movie where they went to save the whales or dolphins or whatever...
Honestly, I can’t believe how disappointing it was. If you want to look at the positive side, you can see it as a tale that requires a lot of imagination on your part. You don’t get a lot of character development or background. But, the animation may just be enough to distract you from the lack of cohesive plot, and perhaps that’s what the storytellers were counting on.
If you’re doing Netflix, then all you’ll really be losing is time before the next movie in your queue, and if I’d had half a brain, I would have done the same thing - but we were looking for something to watch post-holiday. If you’re curious, go for it. At least you won’t be wasting twenty bucks on a DVD that should come with a “SEND IMMEDIATELY TO BACK OF DUSTY SHELF” warning.
Great fun on your thread today, thanks.
I loved that movie and Rachel Ward was way beyond hot!
I dropped King when he began writing every Christian and pro-lifer as a mouth breathing, half-witted, bigotted idiot.
Later, he made the remark to a group of high-school students about studying or they would be stupid and have to join the Army.
I read all of the posts so far and agreeing with a lot of them but to me the worst I have ever seen and am ashamed to say I paid to see was “Surf Nazi’s Must Die”.
I actually like Dune - I even bought the DVD. But then again, I’ve never read the book, so my perspective may be different.
As for worst movies of all time, I nominate Ishtar, Waterworld, Mad Max and my all-time love/hate movie, Plan Nine From Outer Space.
Got that DVD, too ;)
Dead Poets Society.
Stinks.
On.
Ice.
GI Jane, any Jaws movie past 2.
U-571 was like Pearl Harbor, an “obamanation” that screwed with factual history that would have made an outstanding yarn if left alone.
Anything with Van Damme is pretty much puke worthy.
Hey that was one of the good fun ones. The turkeys were the ones where someone made noble sacrifice.
Transylvania 6-5000
