Shitty movies that must be shared.

you guys are weird. i still don't like that movie and it has nothing to do with the book (which was okay even though i disagree with a lot of what heinlein was trying to say in it), but instead is has to do with the fact that the cast was horrible. i fucking hate denise richards. even doogie sucked.

Doogie is very cool - did you see Dr. Horrible? Kumar and whoever go to White Castle?

For me the the cast of ST was a plus. Richards is hot, but the only other thing she was in that I can recall was Wild Things.

doogie is great, but he sucked in that movie. you should note that it apparently didn't do shit for his career.

and it's harold. harold and kumar.

1941-made by some guy they reckons good...oh what his face?..oh yeah Speilberg!

how can you not like fear and loathing in las vegas?

There is not enough money in the world to make me watch Hunter S. Thompson and Terry Gilliam get together. I can't imagine two people with stronger habits for pointless, self-indulgent vapidity.

Showgirls is a cult classic. Therefore, it does not belong on this list!

 

[BlackShanglan]

I love me some John Waters but that movie was horrible. And him claiming that it is bad on purpose will never convince me!

Oooh, that reminds me. It can't touch "The Brothers Grimm," but Branagh's "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" was God-awful. Only a serious mid-life crisis can explain what felt like an hour of De Niro and Branagh flailing about shirtless in amniotic fluid.

The worst part was the interview where he insisted that that was the movie he intended to make. We're all human, Kenneth (or at least, most of you are); we can forgive you. Just stop claiming that that was your artistic vision.

Lair of the White Worm- Ken Russell 1988

I maintain that Hugh Grant gave his funniest performance ever in that movie.

I like ST for what it is but it's so not like the book it's a disappointment.
I really wish they'd make a serious one that was faithful to the book. The battle suits alone would be the very definition of awesome.

Here's the problem with Starship Troopers: they made it before September 11. Had it come out, say, in 2005, people would have recognized it as a damn good satire. Of course, after September 11, I'm not sure any major studio would have agreed to make the film with that screenplay.

Nah, he didn't suck. I don't think anyone in that movie pinned their future on a breakout performance.

Harold - that's the guy.

he did too suck in that movie and i'll beat you up for sayng otherwise.

hahaha...you made me laugh.

hmmm, i smell sarcasm... it smells delicious.

oh, no. that's the bacon.

No, really. In a good way.

i know. bacon is totally delicious. i just ate some.

We have a winner. Scroll back through this thread. "The Brothers Grimm" wins multiple agreement that it's God-awful - not just bad, but "literally can't finish watching it" awful - and no one who has seen it has defended it in any way.

Sorry, Gilliam fans. He wins the Rancid Stoat of Budapest prize for cinematic awfulness.

I don't think I made it out of the first ten minutes, I was actually offended that it was on my television.

I've actually seen "Manos," and I offer this key point:

"Manos" can actually be viewed with enjoyment in its sheer badness. It can be laughed at, and thereby somewhat redeemed.

Try that with "The Brothers Grimm."

You'd need Maui's production run for a full year. Even then, your best bet would be to switch the sound off.

well, i still want to watch this and you aint stopping me.

 

[WolfMann63]

Any Clive Barker book/novella/short story that has been made into a movie, with The Nightbreed at the top of the heap.

 

[Calaban]

I won't say the Brothers Grimm was GOOD but I didn't think it was especially BAD.
I hope I haven't seen the worst movies made because I'm pretty discerning about what I watch. Some of the movies mentioned thus far have just made me think Duh.. Why did you watch that?
Worst I've tried to sit through have been The Thin Red Line and Lions for Lambs
I'm big into war flicks and these both looked at first glance like good picks but Red Line was a hopelessly artsy piece of crap with a broken disjointed plot that you'd need a diagram to follow
And Lions for Lambs was also an "interpretive" thing I guess, it left me with a feeling that they were supposed to be preaching some touchy feely message to me but I couldn't quite get the point.
