Worst movie you ever saw?

Big name cast, horrible story.

At the end, someone said on the way out “and we paid to see this?”

She’s SO Lovely

As we left this terrible movie that I chose over his protests, the audience for BWWC was actually giving a standing ovation *at the movie theatre,* which I don’t think have ever seen before or since.

+1000

Mr. Wrong is the dumbest movie ever. My entire family wanted to walk out after 30 minutes. What a waste of time.

My most conflicted movie: Into the Wild. Amazing acting, scenery, filming, music - an incredible piece of art. But I truly have a problem movies that take people making dumb or uneducated decisions and turning them into tragic heros. Same issue with Perfect Storm - gorgeous movie, but at the end of the day it was a series of bad decisions based on people ignoring the available information because they thought they were above it all. The lesson there should be to NOT follow in their footsteps - but the movies have the effect of hero-izing the bad decision makers. The "tragedy" of Into the Wild could have been prevented with just a teensy bit of planning ahead. But I still bought the soundtrack, the music was beautiful. So, I'm conflicted on that one - it was either one of the best movies I've ever seen or one of the worst.

I honestly think “Into the Wild” is the best movie of the last 20 years or so. It’s a masterpiece, for all the reasons you mentioned.

Unmitigated Crap

Are you insane? I just watched it again this morning.

So you like crap. That’s okay. To me, worst movie ever.

You have terrible taste. That movie is a smash hit and beloved.

Mine is random and I wonder if any other old people have ever seen it.

Dracula Dead And Loving It. It starred Leslie Nielsen and was supposed to be like if Airplane was a monster movie. It…was not.

Agreed. What About Bob was trash.

As a collection of stories, it had some decent-to-good ones (and some terrific actors) but the poor/weak storylines were terrible and should have been jettisioned. I think it only got made because Richard Curtis, the writer, was hot hot hot at that point. It's as if he had a dozen ideas for movies, couldn't complete a full script for any of them, and mashed them together into this one holiday-themed mess. I do like many of the performances which are worth watching as individual scenes (Bill Nighy as the rocker, with his manager; Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson, heartbreaking; Hugh Grant is amusing enough; Laura Linney's character is so pitiable). But it's the overall waste of a talented cast that's the huge pity there.

God, the porn actors’ interminable subplot. Ugh.

St. Elmo's Fire. Unbelievably tedious with unlikeable characters.

The Last Jedi.

Mulholland Drive. Painfully pretentious.

Oh, you reminded me. Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Menace. All those years waiting for another Star Wars movie and it was a blazing dumpster fire (how the hell did that director manage to make so many accomplished actors from other films give such stilted, wooden performances?), briefly interrupted by a mildly entertaining pod race.

Mamma Mia
Legends of the Fall

The only movies I’ve ever walked out of. I can’t explain it, I know people loved them. Legends bored me to sleep (and then I woke up and left) and Mamma Mia made me so embarrassed for the cast that I wanted to die.

I’ll preface this by saying I have face blindness, and it’s hard to tell the difference between actors.

I started watching Legends of the Fall at home a few years ago on my day off. I got busy, realized I wasn’t focusing on the movie enough to follow it about halfway through, and stopped it thinking I’d come back to it. The next day, I saw it was on a different channel, figured out how much I’d watched, and turned it on that far in. Nothing made sense. Anthony Hopkins had disappeared, so I figured he died. His brother seemed different, but it was hard to tell for sure. And I thought he had two brothers but maybe one died. There was a war or something so sure. Plus it’s old timey, people died a lot back then, whatever. And Brad Pitt looked different, but maybe I missed a time lapse. Then he’s calling Tom Skerritt dad, and I think he’s a preacher, and I know I wasn’t paying attention the day before but maybe Anthony Hopkins was his grandpa, not his dad.

Yeah. You probably already figured out I switched to A River Runs Through It the second day. So I saw the first half of one Brad Pitt movie about brothers and the second half of a different Brad Pitt movie about brothers, and didn’t figure it out until near the end. IMO, both movies sucked, but I'm not sure they’re the worst movies ever.

I hated Contact and Interstellar. Gravity was just awful, even though I love me some Clooney. It was like a one woman introspective journey through space, finding a way to battle her demons and overcome anything the universe could throw at her (literally and figuratively), solving problems by being smart and hallucinating. It insists upon itself.

Signs really took the cake though. Aliens who are mortally allergic to water come to a planet that rains water, has water on 2/3 of the surface, to consume beings that are 70% water. Nope. A Quiet Place was equally dumb but significantly more enjoyable.
