The WORST Films of All Time (According To You!)

Worst of all time: The Big Chill. You beat me to it. Cloying, saccharine

I can't believe it.

The Big Chill should be a favorite among Freepers.

It was about a group of anti-establishment former college friends who, 10 years after graduating from the University of Wisconsin, are forced to come to terms with how vaccuous their lives in college were when faced with reality (such as business decisions, taxes, death, relationships, children, etc)

The film centers around the characters (Kevin Kline, Tom Berringer, Glenn Close, Mary Kay Place, Jeff Goldberg, and others) who get together for a funeral of their best friend from college who apparently committed suicide because he could not find fulfillment outside of being an anti-establishment protester.

Throughout the movie, the characters constantly wax nastalgic about their "great" days hating Nixon, and ne by one they realize how frivolous those days were.

Really, The Big Chill should be must viewing for all college kids and all Freepers, and I can't believe anyone listed it as an "awful" film.

It's 'cuz they sin in it.

Nobody's mentioned "Rocky Horror" yet.

Based on personal experience, the only people who hate The Rocky Horror Picture Show were those kids who never went to see it in HS and College...........

Twister

"Twister". It's worth repeating. Urg!

It was a two-hour Dodge Ram commercial.

I loved this movie. Much better than the first Grinch. Our house has watched it at least 50x since released.

The Go-Between

One of two movies I have ever walked out on in my life. Don't remember why

[HairOfTheDog]

Rocky Horror can't be separated from the midnight movie theater experience... I've tried to watch it at home and it's just no where close to the same. -And it's of course not for those still uncomfortable with utter depravity.

[SouthernFreebird]

Worse ever film is a tie between waterboy and waterworld.

[RabidBartender]

Toys (Robin Williams)
Daredevil (Everybody in movie was great except Affleck)
Lost in Translation
Gigli (Affleck)
House of the Spirits (Meryl Streep)
Sum of All Fears (Affleck; what Arab terrorists?)
Mask (Cher)
The third Major Leagues movie

[WhiteGuy]

"Rocky Horror can't be separated from the midnight movie theater experience..."

A good point.

"And it's of course not for those still uncomfortable with utter depravity."

Are you referring to the movie, or the audience?

[HairOfTheDog]

Either ;~D

[WhiteGuy]

Either ;~D


Well put!

[RabidBartender]

Oops...I forgot Armageddon (Affleck - Take out Liv Tyler, and it would be a good movie)

[johnny7]

He was decent as the heavy in (???)'Mercury Rising'(???)... the one with Bruce Willis and the autistic kid.

The thing about playing the heavy is... it's easy work if you're an a-hole.

As far as Sean Connery... HA! I thought his best movie was 'The Longest Day'.

[sTXsunAggie]

The first 15 minutes of "The Constant Gardner". I walked out after that.

[HairOfTheDog]

OH - I do like Toys, just for it's great Cinematography... it's a beautiful picture... and I like the Robin Williams and character with his noisy coat and the smoking jacket... and the quirky sister... Oh - LL Cool J character! Heh...

The Ninth Gate is my 4th favorite movie.
