"Clockwork Orange" is one of my five favorite movies. How can you not like a movie that is a total attack on youth nihilism, amorality, and the ineffectiveness of social engineering by the state?

[grellis]

Is it me or was Talented Mr. Ripley just a little too homoerotic?

The movie aimed at being so many things, and failed in every attempt.

(That was me trying to sound like Dorothy Parker)

[Mr. Jeeves]

Mission to Mars tops my list. It's in a class by itself. ;)

[Taxman]

Dumb and Dumber.

So stupid, I got up and walked out in the first 1/2 hour of the movie.

Didn't even demand a refund because I felt so foolish having paid to get in in the first place!

'Dances with Wolves' is right up there... 'Being There' is another I walked out on.

Anything with Ben Afleck, Alex Baldwin, Dustin Hoffman, The Sheen's or Richard Gere. Same goes for Meryl Streep, Bette Midler, Cher, Lily Tomlin...

So many bad ones... so few good.

This is, without a doubt, the worst movie ever made.

[Argh]

Actually, I don't, I don't go to movies anymore and am selective about what I watch on the movie channels, but I'll believe the gist of what you're saying from what I've heard.

[Daralundy]

There was a movie with Mel Gibson call Air America(heh) that was totally boring. And I found Pleasantville (I think that was what it was called) totally unwatchable.

[HairOfTheDog]

That's not how I remember it. And I have seen the film only once, during its original theatrical run.

Trust me, I've seen it many times.

[Clemenza]

Ripley, Interview with the Vampire, and X-Men 2 are some of the Gayest "mainstream" films produced by Hollywood in recent years.

[Edit35]

The first few posts in this thread listed "Groundhog Day" and "An Officer and a Gentleman" as their two most awful films.

How ironic. They are my two alltime favorites. I could watch them again and again and never tire of them.

(Of course Richard Gere hadn't morphed into a dithering goof when "Officer" was made back in the early 80s)

[ecurbh]

Fargo?!? That is one of my absolute all-time favorites.

[biblewonk]

Loved the Green Mile.... as a book, and as a movie. :~D

A lot of people did. I stood up after the movie in a crowded theator full of "moved" people and all but yelled "THAT SUCKED!".

[Sybeck1]

Any Matrix or Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter movies. All overated!!

[TomSmedley]

Chinatown. Epistemological pornography. After seeing this hymn to nihilism, I was not surprised to learn that Roman Polanski emerged from a Nazi concentration camp a committed atheist -- and was eventually caught taking indecent liberties wtih a drugged 13 year old girl.

[Clemenza]

See my post #91.

[fredhead]

"Mars Attacks!"

Didn't go to see it in the theater, but I thought it would be a laugh so I rented it when it came out on video. Only movie I took back without watching all of it.

[Argh]

I only saw it on the late movie back in 1969. I seem to remember the flying saucer with the strings was funny, but I found the rest just dopey and tedious.

[RosieCotton]

The only good part was when Leo sank to the ocean floor.

That was my favorite part, too. I had to refrain from yelling "Step on his head! Push him under NOW!"

Unfortunately, you had to sit through about four days worth of one dimensional characters and maudlin love scenes to get to that part.

[grellis]

I loved Fargo, too. I just watched it last night.
