I agree. The end was frightening and gave me chills.

I know right?!! I don't remember getting that feeling the first time I watched it. But after watching it again after a few years, at the end I was like FUCKING HELL!! Ending was amazing.

I really like the film. Very cool premise and the visuals are so stunning.

The absolute worst movie ever was Satisfaction...starring Justine Bateman...with Juia Roberts and Liam Neeson in supporting roles. Bateman sings. It's the best worst movie ever!

A close second is Fresh Horses starring Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringworm. We walked out of the movie.

Gosh, I know it wasn't necessarily Academy Award material, but I really liked Satisfaction when I saw it two (or so) decades ago. Didn't they cover Hazy Shade of Winter by the Go Gos (originally Simon and Garfunkel)? I was just the right age for it when I saw it.

Also, you guys are just not very serious about your worst movies of all time. Dances with Wolves? Avatar? If you're putting out award nominated movie fare -- you must not know about the REAL junk. How about The Human Centipede, where a mad scientist sews people together mouth-to-anus just for laughs? Or Human Centipede II? Or Gigli? Or Glitter? I haven't actually watched any of these, but I can see that there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy!

I must've missed the original thread back in 2011, but Melancholia is still my favorite movie.

It's called a rouge planet. It's something that could absolutely happen. It's very unlikely but certainly not impossible. And just like in the movie, if it did happen, we'd be fucked. Even if a planet that size didn't hit Earth, coming that close without a collision would greatly change Earth's orbit or possibly even throw us out of our own solar system.

I thought Mars was the rouge planet?

Haha, nice one. I meant rogue.
