The Worst Movie Thread

[Quinn01]

So some of us have been talking about horrible movies under The Happening Thread.

So this will be a thread for everyone and anyone to come and post what movie they think is the worst out there to date and why.

The happening. lol

Starship Troopers 2 - a sort of spin off of the first SST movie but very low budget feel, crappy acting, story was semi decent though. This movie went straight to DVD and that should have been my first warning but did I listen to myself? Noooooooo!!! what a waste of money that was and I hope SST3 won't disappoint.

Beerfest - it didn't help that I went to see this movie on the day things ended between me and this girl I liked but this movie was totally stupid...I couldn't remember much other then coming out of the theater going... "W...T...F..." Was a bit of a money grab on the American Pie style humor but very poorly executed.

Rush Hour 3 - was a totally money grab on the RH success. The comedy didn't have a flow, felt more like it was forced to funny sake and they weren't really that comical anyways. And you could tell Chan was getting a little too old and tired of these action types and personally, so was I which is why I thought Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie and Jet was awesome. Jackie goes back to his old Drunken Master fighting styles for that movie.

House of Wax - I at least saw this for free. It wasn't scary or believable with a stupid story of people getting waxed alive and put on display in this town like it was a wax museum. Only saving grace was the hotty Elisha Cuthbert and Paris Hilton (for her, not because of hotness but for something that was very pleasing to watch).

Cloverfield: I got motion sickness and threw up at least 3 times during that movie. Those of you that haven't seen it, it's a guy running from a monster in New York, but he has a camera and films it. Think Blair Witch Project times 20.

Good timing for this thread! We watched 10,000 BC this weekend. Oy! What a load of garbage.
I did not know they spoke the Queens english in 10,000 BC. I figured the special effects they showed on the commercials were a sampling of what was to come, but that turned out to be all there was! One saber tooth tiger, a bunch of Wooly Mannys (Ice Age reference) and a couple of big a**ed turkeys.
A serious load of junk!

There's always Glen and Glenda, another Ed Woods masterpiece

Don't forget some of the Steven Seagal movies, esp On Deadly Ground.

oh man, On Deadly Ground, where the best part was a homage to Billy Jack...

There are so many bad movies that entertain in awfulness (Night Train to Terror anyone?) that I can't truly right off because of that sort of charm. Funny enough the the last two films that really raised my ire and stoked my hate were The Full Monte (the nadir of of the whacky outcasts doing something at random that makes all off their personal problems go away sub-genre) and Moline Rouge, which, pretty much pushed all of my civilization is dead buttons in a boring as possible manner.

I really disliked The Full Monte ... don't recall if I sat through it in its entirety.

The Hills have Eyes or WolfCreek - why anyone watches these kinds of horrors are really beyond me!

[Mezzaluna]

Zardoz! It's so bad it's good. But then, it has a shirtless Sean Connery in it.

How about "Waterworld" and "The Postman"? Kevin Costner at his worst.

I'll admit to owning two of these three movies.

[Ishbel]

Braveheart.

Hey AllanMc-

I have an "On Deadly Ground" story! Warner Bros. was in Valdez, Alaksa the Spring of '93 filming parts of the movie. Steven Seagal, Joan Chen and Michael Caine were put up in pricey private digs belonging to Alyeska Execs. in ritzy Valdez neighborhoods. I worked at the time, at a crusty ski lodge on the Tsaina River at 35 M. Richardson Hwy. called the Tsaina Lodge. Alaska celebrity Libby Riddles (first woman to win the Iditarod) and her team of dogs and handlers were hired by Warner Bros. to do all the dog-sled stunt-doubling for the movie, and they stayed out at the Tsaina. I never met the 3 big stars- tho I heard many horror stories from the towns-folk who came into contact with them. Tho, serving Libby and her crew and dogs for a couple weeks was something I'll never forget! Finally saw the movie later that winter. What a let-down- HA!

<LOL> I was in Valdez at the time and encountered the same comments from the townspeople. I shared a B&B with one of the crew and we talked a little about Seagal, his wife, and some of the "stars" of the movie.

How about anything starring Ben Afleck?
Pearl Harbor, Gigli, Jersey Girl and any number of others-what stinkers!

He's cute, I must admit, and enjoyable in supporting roles (Shakespeare in Love, Good Will Hunting) but he just doesn't have the chops to carry a whole movie.

Got to agree on Braveheart and Waterworld.

I think Mel and Kevin are vying for who can star in the most movies while wearing a mullet. Last check Kevin was winning, but Mel is still holding strong.

How about anything starring Ben Afleck?

Here's an exception: Good Will Hunting. But that's it.
