Worst films you have seen

Well since no one else has brought it up, I would say HULK is by far one of the worst big budgeted comic book films ever. It was incredibly boring (no pun intended). I don't blame Ang Lee, who obviously put more heart in the movie than he should have, and I love Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Just not the right director for this type of movie. He tried to humanize the Hulk, and you can't because he simply is a monster of anger and nothing more.
I believe they may still do a sequel, but lets hope they get a new director and better story and do it right this time.

i much prefered the hulk to spiderman....daredevil too....it had a more intellectual storyline....and it something different for a change......i cant quite see much difference between batman forever onwards, spiderman and daredevil
Xmen is also another example of something completely different compared to these films...as are batman and batman returns

Shortly after Perfect Strangers went off the air, Bronson Pinchot did a movie called "Blame it on the Bellhop". I don't even want to get into it, but that was pretty awful. If we're talking all time capital F for Fucking Terrible worst films, then I guess I should also mention "Blair Witch" (the first one...i'm sorry, I am not impressed by shaky cameras and quote/unquote atmospherics...if I wanted the "artsiness" of a shakicam, I would watch old Woody Allen movies), "Wild, Wild West" (you're gonna tell me that some studio execs got together for the meeting on who was gonna be cast for this turkey and actually said, 'I got it! The buddy team of the Century! Kevin Kline and Will Smith?' What the fuck?!). I also hated what little I saw of the screen adaptation of "Resident Evil", agreed with most everybody else on this comment board that Mission Impossible 2 sucked my taint, and if you're looking for newer fare, you can't do any better or, rather, worse than XMEN 2: UNITED. What the fuck was the point of this shit? And ya know what, say what you will, but I think John Stamos' bitch is better off keeping the fucking Mystique make-up on. Cheese-Sauce Cripes! Man, what a piece of shit!
But I think there are actually different kinds of horrible movies. Some of the "worst" films ever made are also the best films ever made by virtue of how bad and kitschy they are. Like H.G. Lewis' "The Wizard of Gore", Lucio Fulci's "House by the Cemetery", Dario Argento's visually-striking and imaginative, albeit annoyingly noisy "Suspiria"; also John Waters' "Pink Flamingos", Ed Wood, Jr's "Orgy of the Dead" and, of course, practically everything in the Troma canon (Toxic Avenger, Terror Firmer, When Nature Calls, Class of Nuke Em High, etc.).
For the record, though, films like Magnolia and Lost Highway could never be wholly bad, no matter who you are, because they both are made by such visionary geniuses that it would be hard to dismiss them altogether. I mean, both contain great amounts of cinematic craftsmanship. And even if someone says, "Oh, well, I hate this or I hate that" about it, they are the types of movies that always have one more leg to stand on.
Worst Porno Film of All Time: "Pink Janine" Softcore Version. They should put signs up in your neighborhood Coconuts to let you know that they aren't the type of store that sells hardcore. Dag nam it!

Major Magnolia spoilers in this post!
I'll agree that if "worst film" is a measure of all-around incompetence, then Plan 9 From Outer Space is obviously "worse" than Magnolia, as even I will admit the latter has decent acting and production values. But I've never loathed a movie the way I loathed Magnolia. So maybe it would be more accurate to call it my Most Hated Film.
A-ha! I think this is at the heart of my problem with Magnolia: its director has bought into his own "visionary genius" hype, and is therefore unable or unwilling to restrain himself from the level of self-indulgence that a "less-accomplished" filmmaker would have the sense to avoid. "If I want to film a sequence where all the characters are singing along to the same song, I'll do it - I'm Paul Thomas Anderson, dammit! If I feel like creating a preposterous frog-rain climax, who's gonna stop me? I directed Boogie Nights, for Christ's sake!"lex_sativa420 said:

HMM< first time i ever heard someone say they prefer VHS quality ro DVD quality there Silitits?? What the hell are you smoking? I'd even bet you prefer Fullscreen over widescreen, I myself perfer widescreen since it shows more of the picture, and the black bars aren't even destracting.
Anyway, as far as picture quality, who gives a shit, that really depends on the TV, for me it has to be the SOUND, thats what I love about DVDs, the sound quality. Especially if you have a good surround system, it really feels as if you inside the theatre all over again. Just my opinion though silitits, and why I oput this in the worse film thread is beyond me??
BTW, you need to get off this fetish you have against movies with CGI, thats the way things are done today in movie because its easier and cheaper, so deal with it. As long as the story is good and entertaining, its all that matters to me. Movies are for entertainment, sounds like you take them a bit too seriously there silitits, so lighten up brother.

i agree i love DVD's and the Widescreen aspect. im happy with my home theatre setup (which i spent too much money on it, but hey it was for me. hehe). so i totally enjoy Movies.
But the worst Film i had seen was Glitter (only wanted to see Mariah Carey cause she was hot at the time) But i couldnt stand it for more than 5 mins. So i went outside and played some Basketball.

So Glitter really was as bad as I've heard then?
Even though Glitter was mentioned in the first post in the thread, I didn't make this connection until now: I'm surprised Gigli hasn't been nominated yet. That's a movie where the most "positive" reviews usually say, "Sure it's bad, but not quite as bad as you've heard." And most of the rest of the reviews are "I heard it was bad, but I saw it anyway, and it was even worse than I'd feared!"
Interestingly, Gigli is another movie that was directed by a guy who's made some well-liked flicks in the past.

I like Freddy got Fingered... hehe.
I really disliked Being John Malkovich. There was some parts that didn't want to make me scratch my own eye's out but those where few and far between.

Knightly said:Speaking of movies, dont even get me started ( major movie critic here ).Any movie with Tom Green or Adam Sandler should automaticaly be flushed, worst actors in the world. As far as the movie Titanic I thought it was fantastic.Other favorites would be Spiderman, XMEN 1 & 2, Ice Age.
No way man, Happy Gilmour had me in stitches. The Wedding Singer is also a good film.
I agree Happy Gilmore is one hilarious movie.
The price is wrong bitch!!
The only Adam Sandler movies I don't like are Bulletproof, and Billy Madison.
Tom Green was so funny in Road Trip, he can be funny when he is not acting like a jackass, but his Freddy Got Fingered was just disturbing, I actually paid money to see it.

well i hate to be a scorp and point out the 'contradictions' but if picture qualtity dont matter why on earth you bothered about dvd's? (yeh yeh sound whateva...unless you use the dolby digital 5.1 crap then whats the point?)
and i never said i did prefer dvd's i just said was that on some cgi related films....dvd's show you all the little fuckups where as the grainess of tape will hide them for you...or at least disguse them for you
the main reason why i still buy vids is cause they are so darn cheap now....and rare vids that before, would of cost alot, are now cut price due to the fact no one wants them anymore cause dvd is a better visual/sound source
and widescreen is a pain in the butt if you dont use a widescren tv 100% of the time......
its not about taking films seriously its about beliving in what you see....and to me old films like labyrinth or fuckin thunderbirds looks more realistic to me then spiderman/hulk etc....i dont like cgi....its like what the uk pop chart does to music.. it takes out all the art of making music and solely bases everything on image
with music its just wrong...with films its just plain out lazy
