The worst movie you've ever seen...

“Mommy Dearest” on a worst list?? No way! Loved everything about it!!


Serendipity has Kate Beckinsale, so it's not all bad.

I also don't like The Sound of Music.  I'll probably get some heat for that but I've had to watch it waaaay too many times.  


I saw the Sound of Music when it came out in 1965.  I was 8 years old, and I thought it was terrific.  My mother took me and my sister and as soon as we got out of the theater she gave a big sigh and said, "Well, that was lousy."    So you are not alone.  I still think it's a good movie, but not sure I could sit through the whole thing.  


hard to define worst, but if the gauge is how far a movie is from it's critical acclaim, Boyhood wins hands down.

What a POS.


Maybe not the worst, but I find everthing about Breakfast at Tiffany's to be insufferable. With Hepburn's character at the top of the list.

I think there’s a big difference between worst movies of all time vs movies any of us personally didn’t like.

That’s pretty much how I read the thread title, but c’est la ...

Um... yeah. Were we not supposed to take the question literally?


The worst movies are the ones you think you are going to like and then hate. The dashed expectations are like gravy on the mashed suckitude.

This. Now I can safely say La La Land. Gah that was horrible. I fell asleep twice. I even tried to watch it on vacation what with all the time I had to kill, couldn’t make it halfway through, I would sleep, rewind try again nothing. Sent me to La La Land alright. Ok that felt good to get off my chest. 


Problem is, how do these films (like la-la) garner all this word of mouth and all these awards? Who’s paying to see this schlock? The premise alone kept me out of the theater...


O, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, that has such people in ’t!


Yeah, I hated La La Land, too. Stupid. Boring. Inane. Inept. I was shocked when it was announced as Best Picture. My shock was short-lived, of course. I admired Moonlight so much more.

(For a more contemporary submission, I thought Dunkirk was really bad. Incoherent. People so easily mistake technical craft with artistic achievement.)


didn't see Boyhood, La La Land or Dunkirk but picked up the word on the street "meh" factor about all three so I avoided.  Nolan is a definite mixed bag.  Interstellar was awful.  Inception was a slick special effects machine pretending to be I don't know what.  


Funny how discerning minds disagree. I thought Boyhood was fascinating.


I saw Showgirls on TV, so they digitally added on clothing.  It was f*cking hilarious.  Without the digital clothing to make it funny then, yeah, it would have sucked.

Manos: The Hands Of Fate was so bad that even MST3K couldn't make it watchable, and that's saying a lot.

Enough with Jennifer Lopez

The Avengers (1998, not the superhero Avengers)


I’m uncomfortable with familiar (stolen?) plot lines. Even if u r a lightweight film buff or know a few old movies, it is disturbing to see. Back some years everyone was talking about Woody Allen’s “Matchpoint”, making such a fuss about it.

Halfway through, I’m like, there’s nothing new under the “place in the sun”


I'm hopelessly uncomfortable with gratuitous violence. My college film group brought both Eraserhead and The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith to campus. Maybe also Clockwork Orange. I thought that "cool" college students were supposed to appreciate these films; but as much as I wanted to be a cool college student, I could not deal with them. The violence just made me sick. The prospect of watching any of them again just fills me with dread.

NOT Mickey Rooney? I saw it last year on the big screen for one of TCM’s screen nights. It was great but Rooney was embarrassing.

I loved Boyhood but then I lived in Texas for much of the time the movie covered. 




The worst movie I have seen recently was Batman vs Superman (on a long flight). Pacific Rim was pretty wretched. 

Well, I hate all of the Batman movie franchise. The way they portray Gotham, I don’t think it’s worth saving.  ::sigh::

Including the 1966 release? It was the perfect antidote to Let It Be, which my campus’s Student Union showed it with for a “B” movie night in 1983. (There was a third film, but I forget what it was. Not The Swarm.) Those college film geeks were a clever bunch.


There is no accounting for taste. One person's meat is another person's poison. This thread proves those clichés.

I hated "The English Patient".

But the only time I remember actually walking out on a movie was in High School when my friends and I walked out of a movie called "The Goddess of Love".


Recently chose what I thought would be a good movie on Amazon starring Richard Gere, Laura Linney and Steve Coogan, among others, called "The Dinner." It. Was. Horrid.

Omg yes. I picked it because well, Richard Gere and Laura Linney. Gah. I didn’t make it to 30 minutes. It was unwatchable. 


I loathed La La Land.  Loathed it.




I bailed after 5 mins.  I thought I might go back to it given the cast - maybe I judged too harshly.  I can see I did not.  Thank you for the heads up!

Watched it recently for the first time and thought it was terrible.


The Peanuts Movie that came out in 2015 was total crap. I fell asleep.

I watched it last night for the first time. Perhaps not the worst movie I have ever seen but certainly dated and rather silly.


Stone on Netflix. Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton. What can go wrong, right? I mean great actors.Wrong!  It’s like watching a derailing train in slow motion. The extent of my disbelief was astounding, but I just couldn’t look away. I kept hoping for something to turn it around, no such luck. What would compel these two amazing actors to do this movie is a mystery to me.
