So, so stupid…ugh.


OMG I love this one. Watch it every Halloween still. I won’t argue that it’s actually a good movie though…

I am usually a Costner fan but this one was terrible.


Oh, lord, his “British” accent. And the hilarious, bizarrely miscast turn by Christian Slater as Will Scarlet.

Nobody ever is familiar with it. The reviews here are satisfying to read: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107683/reviews

Hugh Grant and Malcolm Macdowell. Impenetrable surreal plot about neo-Nazis, Carnival, transvestites, bizarre dogs, small children, and weird breast-nibbling. Like, WTF. It is SO BAD.


This sounds awful. I need to go find it.

You, my former roommate, and I are likely the only 3 people who have ever seen this godawful nonsense.


I’ve seen it! But I’d classify it under So Bad It’s Good.

Almost need two threads: Worst Movies Ever (e.g., Glitter, Battlefield Earth) and Worst Movies Expected to be Good based on Reviews/Feedback (e.g., Forrest Gump, Love, Actually)


Agreed. Money Plane is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. The plot is incoherent, the settings are completely implausible from a space/time perspective, the acting is awful, the editing is awful (e.g., scenes jump sunny to cloudy during cuts, etc) . . . .

Among the most disappointed I've ever been by a movie was No Country for Old Men. The whole time, DW kept asking me when it was going to get better, then asking to turn it off, and I kept saying it had to get better because it was so acclaimed. Then we got to the end and thought "Nope, it never did." So I went to read reviews and commentary on it to see what I missed, and that didn't change my view at all. But I wouldn't say it's the Worst Movie Ever. Just like The Princess Bride isn't the worst movie ever. Maybe the category should be "Acclaimed/beloved movies where you just don't see it."


Maybe it's just me being contrarian, but if the movie is "acclaimed," I usually do not enjoy it or usually even watch it.


Same. A lot of movies are made simply to be Oscar bait and are as dull and stilted as a board.

Eek!

I loved Xanadu (for its time!)
The music was great and Olivia Newton John was so beautiful and talented!

The Black Phone.

Saw it a few months ago & still don’t understand why Ethan Hawke chose to kidnap then kill those kids.

Agreed. What About Bob was trash.


OMG….What About Bob was hilarious.


OMG * 2....What About Bob is one of my all-time favorites. And I can watch it once a year and still enjoy it each time.
