Re: Worst movie of all time
Britlover is on the right track. You've got to look beyond the blockbusters for the really true shite and into the straight-to-video hell of the 1980s.
Here are just a few choice ones way worse then most being touted on this thread;
Sewage Baby
Zombie Nosh
Oversexed Rugsuckers from Mars
Street Trash
Werner Herzog's 'Even Dwarves Started Small'
.. I could go on!
If you want a candidate from big budget land then look no further than The Island if only for it's pretence at origionality when it's just a shit knock-off of The Clonus Project.
My personal hatred is for 4 Weddings and a Funeral, that's 90 minutes of my life I'd like back please.
Oh boy, am I ever gonna have fun in this forum!
Well I'm a huge genre film collector, mostly of horror films (retro titles from the '60s, '70s, '80s and earily '90s) and whatnot, so between cable, my lonely middle school years (well now I enjoyed being an isolated loner and renting vids on the weekends), and with what I order online now on DVD. I've admited to much guilty pleasure watching, even moreso then we all have. I mean I've watched some real horrible pieces of steeming piles of dog-shit sequels our of fan/franchise loyality and whatnot, and other stuff, just to see tits and thighes & ass in the pre-internet days.
Funny, people mentioning Showgirls:rofl: Meh, it's lite weight "Worst film of all Time" material, if you ask me. I even proudly have the boxset which comes with a pin-up game with tassles, shot glasses, ect. It's in my wicker trunk with about 300 of my first batch of DVDs. Reminds me I gotta either order some shelves from store-your-media.com or buy some media storage racks from Best Buy or Super Target, ect.
Let me see; what are some of the worst films I've seen or even own ?
Here's some the curious such as I have can check out, or steer clear off, depending on how curious you are:
Cut: 3rd rate Australian slasher with the usually adoreable Molly Ringwald really slumming it, and a terribly un-threatening and un-scary killer. Shoddy F/X and acting, ect. I thought it be fun, but was just plain boring over-all.
Cannibal Holocaust (aka: Dr. Butcher, Medical Devient): I bought this on an impulse buy, and it is a seminal classic bad movie. But just plain boring when all is said and done. Still, there are some moments I just plain generally love. Like when the mad doctor slashes a zombie patient's thraot and records into a micro cassette recorder: "Patients screams interupted doctor... vocal cords sliced. Patient silenced". And the scene of a very obvious dummy falling off a top story window and the arm falls off (WHY wasn't it edited out?) and in the next shot, the dead cult member who was stealing the body parts has his arm in-tact.
The Last Slumber Party:
Extremely pathetic. And no, this does *NOT* have anything to do with the immensely better Slumber Party Massacre flicks. It's an pathetic old school slasher with a doctor E.R. scrubs wearing psychopath (yes, no bullshit) stalking chicks at a slumber party, for reasons I can't remember and don't want to. There is the inclusion midway through, of a totally unknown extra slasher, but the original killer kills him, and nothing ever comes of it! Urgh. And forget gore & nudity. It's all absent here. Humerously, there are scenes of chicks ALMOST taking they're tops of to show tits, and scenes of girls ALMOST doing drugs to go along with cliches. It's like a 14 yea rold just old enough to start watching genre films only a few years old made this movie and financed it along with his parents, and wasn't allowed to show much in the way of gore and tits & ass.
I love this topic. I'm about to head to bed now, but I'll be back here later on, and I rummage through my trunk and find some stuff no other sane viewer would dare touch ...
