What's the *worst* movie you've ever seen?

I’m going with Signs. Definitely Signs. Brutally self-important, agonizingly implausible, smarmy as hell and just plain tedious.

There are probably plenty of contenders that are bad in more incompetent ways; but that tends to shade into at least a bit of so-bad-it’s-kind-of-good: Signs pulled the rare trick of being utterly atrocious across the board without a single glimpse of endearing badness. That takes talent, of a very specific sort.

Many movies are bad; but being fractally joyless and insufferable is rarer.

You may ultimately learn to fear my martial Ayoade prowess.

That one I have just looked at the poster/picture for it and said nope… not even for the free from the library. Then again I may be up at 1am waiting for patching to get done again which is how I ended up seeing Cherry 2000 and The Beast Of Yucca Flats though I am using the term watched loosely here.

I have seen me some bad movies, but I usually manage to find something to enjoy. Hmmm . . . unless I can think of something else, I’m going to go with Battlefield Earth. Hilariously bad.

Thanks to me, I suspect some of my friends from high school would say Liquid Sky; we had a movie night, and they went with my suggestion, and they never let me live it down :smiley: I don’t remember it being terrible, just really, really weird.

Oh, fuck yeah!! I don’t even drink, I just wanna watch it! I missed it when it came out because try as I might, I couldn’t talk anyone into seeing it with me, and I hate going to the movies alone.

Yes and then for some reason it got lauded for it’s brillance and insight. Complete turd.

Yeah geez that’s not even in the same ballpark. I still think about scenes in Brokeback, but I have long forgotten Crash. For example, this scene is so masterful in context, subtext, and framing

I would also like to second Signs as worst movie that wasn’t obviously crap to begin with (low budget, etc).

I’m just…

Okay, to me Ghost in the Shell is basically as important as Star Wars. And they’re making a live-action version in the States, with Scarlett Johansen as the lead, Major Motoko Kusanagi.

And I’m just hoping. Desperately. That it’s good.

Dude, do I need to pm you my phone number? (Of course it’s a five hour drive, but isn’t that half the fun?)

Crank and Shoot 'Em Up are really quite good for crazy action movies that don’t take themselves too seriously. The overt videogame references in both are so fantastic. I should see Hardcore Henry.

We occasionally get up to the Silicon Valley area to visit my in-laws a couple times a year. Next time we do, I’ll give you a heads-up, if D-War is on the marquee!
