Last night I watched 25 minutes of Bruno, I am not pro gay, or anti gay, but I think this movie probably offends the the gay community, it is really out there, next was Ed Gein, serial killer, targeting older women, with Stephen Railsback as lead role, not to bad if you like serial killer stuff, and I do support Texas artists, but was not what I was lookiing for either, tonight Kelly's Hero's. a classic. Breath of fresh air.

Worst movie for the Hype? Brazil. WTF?
Worst Art movie (a tough category)? The Incredible Longness of Movie (err, The incredible Lightness of Being). I started watching it in 1989. Is it over yet?
Worst War movie? Anything with Ernest Borgnine or Dolph Lundgren or The Day After
Worst Horror movie? The Blair Witch Project, which I'm still convinced was the result of a studio head getting drunk and making a bet saying "I can turn my teenage daughter lose with a video camera, an ounce of weed and $500 and still make millions off the sheep". (good for him).
Worst Romance? Anything with J-Lo or Jennifer Anniston
Worst Comedy? A tough Category, and ultimately a tie. Four words, Jerry Lewis, Woody Allen. Insert your titles here.
Just flat worst movie that had potential (not counting sequels)? Road House or anything (with the exeption of No Way Out) starring Kevin Costner

Manos: The Hands of Fate
MST3K had a ball with this. As a matter of fact, that version is the only way you should watch it, and even then lock up all your firearms and give the ammo to a trusted neighbor with orders not to give it back until the movie is over no matter how much you beg. Figured I'd google it to see what others thought, and they seem to agree. This from IMDb sums it up nicely:
After seeing this movie I ran through the house screaming at the top of my lungs for several hours pausing occasionally only to bang my head repeatedly on the floor. And that was the MST3K version!! Imagine seeing this movie pure and undiluted! It's too horrible to conceive!
Seriously, this movie is not only the worst movie I've ever seen; it's the worst movie I can imagine being made! How could any be worse! Could Ed Wood make such a movie? Arch Hall Sr.? Ray Dennis Steckler? Phil Tucker? I don't think so. None can approach Hal P. Warren, sometime fertilizer salesman and would-be auteur, for producing total cinematic crap!
Now excuse me, I must go wash up. Just thinking of this movie makes me feel filthy all over...

Pincus went to see that new Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz flick, raved about the guns, including MarkyMark the Underwear Boy using a Taurus Judge in a small of the back holster. I seemed to be in a distinct minority that believed it was a complete waste of money to pay Hollyweird prices to watch Tommy and Cameron "act".

District 9 was great...Cloverfield was awful.
But this is an inefficient way of determining bad movies. Almost all movies suck, so we should just list the good ones. Worst recent movie...Avatar.

I should have listed "Pulp Fiction"!

I watched that movie for the first time the other night. I've never seen such a screwed up movie. It ends where it starts........or starts where it ends. Travolta gets killed by Bruce Willis, then he's alive again, but it's at the end......... or rather the beginning........or somewhere in the middle. Totally stupid. It's as if the writers were in a contest with "Scarface" to see who could use the "F" word more. Bill T.

As mentioned previously, there are WAY too many horrid movies to list, but like many of you I feel compelled to voice my dislike for A Clockwork Orange. I even tried watching this film while intoxicated, back in my unruly days, but not even that made it bearable. With the exceptions of The Shining and Full Metal Jacket, all of Kubrick's films stink, though. I must also agree with BillT, anything aired on the Lifetime network should automatically fall into the crap category. ;D

Eraserhead.
Bastard! I had succesfully forgotten that movie till now. Now, I'm going to hear that creepy theme and picture the folks in the TV. Thanks, really. >:(
FQ13 who wonders why anyone thought this movie was worth watching, much less labeling a classic. I mean, I like David Lynch as much as the next guy. Blue Velvet and the first season of Twin Peaks were darn good, but Eraserhead? WTF?

I have watched many movies base on their rep, most I was appreciative of, some were honestly, Dude, I don't take the drugs necessary to get your meaning and don't intend to. Those of you who don't like Road House, I disagree, great music, hot chicks, small town being turned into a homeowners association, ( I hate home owners associations ) , good fight choreography. Pool stick fu, removing tracheas, did I mention Kelly Lynch naked, loss of a great friend, a lot of good humor, and getting the bad guy in the end, by the town elders, and covering it up. 1 of my favorites on many levels, the music was top drawer, with Jeff Healey and Tito and the Tarantulas.
Yeah, I have seen Rocky Horror many, many times, both the US version and the British version, only difference is it is in Black and White until Frankie comes down the elevator.
Recommendations that I was surprised at, The Jack Bull, IN pursuit of honor, ( Don Johnson ) 1920's calvary who were to euthanize the horses and instead drove them to Canada, followed by the massacre at DC of veterans protesting about their pay and conditions that were guaranteed them, Frailty, good flick that will keep you guessing.
Kevin Costner runs hot and cold, 2 not mentioned that to me are automatic dvd's to watch when nothing else fits the bill.
Revenge with Anthony Quinn and Madeline Stow, hot and full of hard decision and betrayal, and Open Range, If you don't like this, We got a problem.
Pulp fiction was done as a pulp, Cartoon if you will, where you get bits every week on the page, once you understand that, you can better understand it, I do like it, but I had to watch it a few times to get it. It is just like reading more serious cartoons, which is not proper, there must be a better word.
Ernest Borgnine, Emperor of the North Pole, with Lee Marvin, a hard look into Hobo train riding, Ernest is an evil badass, you will not be disappointed. He has a technique of finding riders under the train that will blow you away and make you flinch. Killer ending.
Song, I ain't going down broke back mountain, I agree. Actors took a chance, never seen it, and don't intend to, but I guess Bruno, is 10 squared.

Paths of Glory, 2001???
I have neither seen nor heard of Paths of Glory, so it may also fall into the exceptions list of Kubrick films. Somehow it managed to fly beneath my radar, but I'll definitely check it out now. It'll either be a great movie or give me something else to gripe about. ::) Also, thanks Pathfinder, for fixing that little error. ;)

Ahhhhhh!!!!!! Go get it! Doctor Strangelove???
To be honest, Paths of Glory has, in my opinion, the best ending of any war movie I've ever seen. I highly doubt you'll gripe about the movie. But as well go get 'Doctor Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb', fantastic, hilarious, and dark as hell.
'But Sir, he'll see everything...he'll see the big board!!!'

Who played The Doctor ? ;D

Went and saw Borat and got some laughs and giggles, so thought I'd go see Bruno. W.O.R.S.T. movie EVER. Offensive to nearly everyone in the known world, and some who aren't. Another that comes really close is Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I have no idea how I found myself watching that wretched flick, but I wanted to poke at my mind's eye with a sharp stick. Still do if I happen to think about it because I was REMINDED BY A CHAT ROOM TOPIC. (Thanks, guys)
Possibly my worst movie watching experience happened with one of the best movies. Hell in the Pacific w/Toshiro Mifune and Lee Marvin. Lee's lines were all in English. Mifune's lines were all in Japanese. I saw that flick while on R&R with a buddy in Japan. The two of us laughed out loud at one of Lee's better scenes (had to do with peeing from a tree branch). Then we realized EVERYONE else in the theater was staring directly at us and nobody looked happy. We did our best to be invisible for the rest of the flick. LOL

Anything with Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, quite a few with Swayze (RIP), several of Costners and the more they work, the less I like them, DeNiro and Pacino...... B Movies all are meant to suck, just don't watch them. It's the movies that get all the hype with overpaid top notch actors that fall flat bother me. It's why I don't bother to pay theatre prices to watch them. Today, at most, I'm out 5 bucks, usually no more than a buck. I agree on Avatar....waste of blue boobies.....
JMO...
"Heat".....yea, good gunplay though overdramatic but, making hero's out of bank robbers and murderers sends the wrong message for me...almost touching when DeNiro finnaly got wasted in the end...boo freaking hoo! Another dead asshole!

Peter Sellers was Dr. Strangelove.

For me it has to be "The Day After Tomorrow". They acknowledge in the movie that radical climate change occurs ever 10K years, but then go on to attribute the current "problem" to man made global warming. ::)

I find most anything the critics rave about, totally stinks on ice. I offer up the greatest cure for insomnia ever devised, "Sophie's Choice". Meryl Streep is a "Critically Acclaimed Actress". Right there it tells me I couldn't stay awake through one of her movies on a bet. Bill T.

Twilight's like soccer. They run around for 2 hours, nobody scores, and its billion fans insist you just don't understand.

Amen!
I could say the same about Nascar or politics in general. As a very Southern friend of mine put it, when were watching the world cup in Texas, "One, nothin' that's what that they ought to call this, one nothin' 2 hours and that's all the hell ever happens!" She was not converted. Good on you phil, stick to Aussie rules football or hurling. Those are games for men. ;D

...yep....Avatar sucked out loud. Pure left-wing horse puckey. Glad I saw it for free.

I thought Avatar was okay if you ignore the politics.

What politics? Never noticed it. I saw it in Imax 3d - things died, other things went 'splodey, the kid next to me tried running over every one to get to the bathroom and puke from motion sickness. Made it half way out...
Who could ask for a better show? ;D

if Twilight is like this I would not rate it as a Bad movie

I just watched "Brooklyn's Finest" this evening. While I wouldn't classify it as one of the WORST movies ever, I would highly recommend finding other viewing material. If you haven't seen it yet, don't waste your time.
