The Thin Red Line has to be without a doubt the wors movie I have ever seen. I forced myself to stay with it for about 15 minutes thinking this movie has just got to get better but no such luck.
I guess I can consider myself more fortunate than most folks though because I don't have to spend the big bucks for the movies , being hearing impaired I just rent videos because of the closed captioning. Good things are starting to happen though as captioning is starting to come to the moves which is just great. Some movvies you just have to see on the big screen to appreciate. sorry to ramble on but just had to get on the soap box there for awhile.

I have to agree that "The Blair Witch Project " was about the most stupid movie i saw also . Didn't help that i missed the first 10 minutes of it either. Wasn't a scary movie at all, it was the kind of movie that was so stupid that you had to watch, just to see how it ended, and the fact that you paid to see it and didn't want to waste your money.

I think a lot of bad movies are so bad that they are entertaining. Both the Stuff and the Burbs which have been cited previously CAN be enjoyed if you watch them in order to slate them. There is only ONE FILM that has been bad enough for me to want to leave the theatre, but also bad enough that you could not even mock it and enjoy it. This film was Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, stupid Kenneth Branagh's stupid remake of a great story. Robert de Niro as Frankenstein!! This is the only film i have ever considered walking out of EVER. I stayed, but i wich i hadn't.

I agree with "The Blair Witch Project". My husband wanted to walk out in the middle but I wouldn't go since I had already paid my money to see it. I have never walked out on a movie particularly since movies are so expensive to attend now. I was very disappointed in this movie. The other movie that sticks out in my mind is "Plan 9 From Outer Space". This movie was done sometime in the 50's and is so obviously on a set. I saw it at a worst moviethon. I also agree that The Thin Red Line was really bad. We rented it and couldn't wait for it to be over. It just kept going on and on and on and on .....
We kept thinking that it was over and something else would happen. The only reason we watched to whole thing is like the reason we stayed for the Blair Witch....I paid for it and didn't want to waste my money any more than I already had!

I think Plan 9 from Outer SPace is one of the BEST movies of all time - I even own it on video. Watch Tim Burton's Ed Wood - its all about the guy who made it - i guarantee you will love it after that!

The new Jame Bond movie was ok, Denise Richards was great, but the other female really couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.The storyline was old. I believe that Bond....James bond is worn out, and they arew having troubles coming up with new plots

You guys just don't love movies enough. Half of you are complaining about movies you admit you havent even seen! (The first ten minutes is vital to any story / film...all the set-up is there. And leaving in the first 15 minuites...you have no idea of what WILL happen in the film. You may guess...but you can't know. Unless you stay seated and watch the movie unfold...at it's pace, not yours. Don't see a movie if you're impatient. It just never turns out as a valuable experience. For the person who saw Jacob's Ladder...see it again. It's a movie like The Stunt Man...must be seen twice to really get how beaufiful it is. I Left it the same way. disturbed, unsettled, churning it over in my head. Then, seeing it the second time, I could see what Tim Robbins charicter could not, (nor could I the first time through) that this life is about choice and that there are moments that define the quality of our lives and this movie was all about him BEING at the crossroad and having to choose. Its' a film that MAKES the viewer work. (So did Last Temtation of Christ & Sixth Sinse) As for Waterworld, It was a worldwide box office success (Dispite the rumors) It made it's costs back and it was a good story. War of the Roses was a Black Comedy (Like The Ruling Class) NOT a funny, HaHa, kinda film. Superbly Performed and delviered. Falling Down wasn't EVEN a comedy. You shouldn't have found it funny. Blaire Witch Project, Yeah...overhyped for the resulting product, but that was for the quality that a small budget could produce, not the content. My feeling is that the protagonists, were unlikeable by the end of the film. Hell...I wanted to kill them all by the end of the 2nd night. If you want to talk a bout worst movies...Try Ishtar (Which had even IT'S few good moments) or The Creeping Terror (which must've inspired Frank Zappa's opus "Cheapness") Sorry for the rant. I just get SO WORKED UP! ;> )

The absolute worst big-budget movie I've ever seen was Mission:Impossible with Tom Cruise. Hackneyed dialogue, hard to follow, and cliched -- not to mention that the only scene with any tension had a plot hole big enough to drive a Mack truck through. Let's see -- this *very* sensitive and secure computer system at the CIA HQ (or Pentagon, or wherever it was) has 3 systems protecting it. The alarm will go off if: 1) the mean temperature rises by 10 degrees (from someone's body heat); 2) if a noise over 10 decibels is detected; 3) if anything puts weight on the floor.

So, our hero Tom lowers himself from the ceiling and accesses the computer while hanging in mid-air. Gee, it's a good thing they didn't put in a fourth security system -- one that would detect SOMEBODY TRYING TO USE THE COMPUTER!!!

That's the closest I've ever come to walking out of a movie and asking for my money back.

I think the worst supposedly "good" movie that I've seen was The Thin Red Line- BOOOOOOORING! How could this movie get an oscar nomination? The worst movies I've seen otherwise were Maximum Overdrive. Based on the S. King story Trucks. King himself hated the movie so much that he made his own version of the story and it turned out to be just as bad as the first one! If you haven't seen the last of the Howling movies, I think it was called Bad Moon Rising- AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS. I think all of the actors were amateurs that they picked up as they were leaving a Society of Boring People meeting.

Mafia! Was the stupidest movie I have seen in years. It was not funny at all and ALL the halfway decent parts were given away in the trailer. I wanted to walk out and sneak into Saving Private Ryan, even though I'd seen it already. There was a good movie.

Any Magic:tg players out there?

Oh, come now...we can think of worse movies than those already mentioned. Does anybody remember that she-version of Tarzan back from the early 80´s, Sheena??? Oh my...that one reeeally sucked! LOL
And no shaking your fingers at me either. I was too young to even realize the stupidity that was waiting for me. Maximum Overdrive would have to be the other runner-up for least liked.

Just wondering if any of you have ever seen Clowns From Outer Space? By far THE worst movie ever put on film. Who ever heard of a mean clown? ;0

Yep, I've seen Killer clowns from Outer Space....I thought it was so bad , that it was actually funny.

As far as Maxmimum Overdrive....it wasn't that bad, but it doesn't go into my favorites. Critters was really really bad.

Deciphering the World as I see it !!

I sat thru The Spy Who Shagged Me under sufferance woth the wife and three friends. Don't remember much of it, in fact don't think I can recall any of it.

for those of you who saw the movie The Blair Witch Project,,
i heard on the radio today that there will be a prequel and a sequel.
So how many of us will go see them???

I´d like to recant my answer that "Sheena" was the worst movie I´ve ever seen.

Just caught THE worst movie the other night while flipping through the insomnia selection and, oh my goodness, it was BAD!
I didn´t catch it from the beginning, thank God, so I don´t know the title but I think it was called "Jack Frost" (and I´m not referring to the Christmas version)...or maybe it could have been called "Jack Frost Goes On the Rampage" LOL LOL
It was about a killer snowman...need I say more?

I hated "Event Horizon". Being a sci-fan I thought I'd like it, but it was weird, random gorriness with no plot. I got within about 20 minutes of the end I think, and I simply couldn't stand it any longer--stopped the video.

Never walked out on a movie, but came close with "Purple Rain".

As much as I like Geena Davis and Matthew Modine, "Cutthroat Island" was a mega stinker. Maybe if it had been a little worst it would have actually been better because then they could have sold it as a spoof on the old Errol Flynn swashbuckler flicks, but that wasn't the case.

Predictable story line, far fetched stunts, and poor acting. 100% lame.

Growing older but not up…

BELOVED!!!! Yuk!!!! Saw Oprah Winfrey the other night talking about the movie's failure as being one of the lowest points of her life....guess she *really* thought people would relate! Either that, or she lost money, which as we all know, would really be noticeable to her. LOL I actually watched it all the way through just to see if it really had some meaning. I suppose it did, but my pea brain couldn't see it.

"A Stranger Among Us" -- Melanie Griffith as a hard-nosed cop infiltrating a Hassidic Jewish community. High/low point of movie is her squeaky admonition, "I'm a cop; I've seen everything." Oy!

Oh Please! THE worst of all time would have to be "Kubrick's Classic" Eyes Wide Shut, with Tom and Nic. My lordy, was that a "bum nummer", or what! Hey, I can enjoy to good "arthouse" type of movie, but that flick really put me off for a while. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring, don't get me wrong, I love long movies, that things with a twist, but this was just wrong!! It made me cringe to be an "Aussie" when I saw Nic up on the screen playing "stoned". Does anyone else agree???

I just thought of another one. My boyfriend loves "Bikini Shop", Sure you may say for the blonde chicky babes, but he REALLY does like it. It's a 'feel good' movie, with a happy ending. I do love him, but it's true what they say "love is blind".

Eyes Wide Shut...UGH....
I hated everything about it. I must have checked my watch every 15 minutes to see if it was close to being over. I wanted to kill whoever chose the musical score or at least smash some fingers in a piano.

The worst movie I've ever seen isn't even worth mentioning! Talk about terrible!
I mean TERRIBLE bolded, underlined, italicized, capitalized and in quotes!

Just rented a real YUK: The Corndog Man. Who in the heck made up this flick? I had nothing to do in picking it out. The whole film is about telephone calls. Um...may make for an entertaining book but not a movie. ...No, on second thought, it wouldn't even make a good book.
