Worst Movie Ever Made?

[darien87]

Has anyone mentioned Ishtar yet? I never saw it, but I remember it being universally regarded as one of the worst movies ever made at the time.

I saw it in the theater when it first came out. Silly entertainment. Not great, but not terrible either. (Like Waterworld, it aspired to be far better than it actually was.)

Dolby, I think you were the only one!

LMAO come to think of it LMAO there was only about 20 or so in the large auditorium but that was the first days showing of “Waterworld.”

LMAO I seem to remember (Barry Norman) not partially liking this film when he reviewed it back in 1987 on the film review show called “Film87” well it was Film87 back then of coarse than came along Film88 and so on. It was presented by the BBC.

Nope never saw the movie.
Just wanted to point out, that IMO, that is not how I critique a bad movie.

I would say the way you explained it as a boringly bad movie. (that obviously, did not stick out in your mind as REALLY BAD)

I have seen tons of OK movies (and even boring movies) that I can't remember a thing about.
It is the 1 single movie that sticks in my mind as SO BAD, that it would stick in my mind as WORST movie. (and for me NEVER to watch again)

I've always had a certain fascination with bad movies. Now and again I enjoy a movie so bad that it makes me cringe, but it takes a certain gumption and spirit to make something like that (Plan 9 or Legend of Boggy Creek come to mind). On the other hand, the movie I can't remember is usually a technically competent, corporate product, kinda like white soap, that has no heart, no weirdness, bad or no humor, just like other similar movies. I think you brain will die sooner with the latter than the former

Waterworld was pretty bad, but any movie with an over-the-top Dennis Hopper usually has a high enough cringe factor to be worth the view. I do admit though that Kevin Costner with gills and all those people fighting over a handful of dirt was quite a sight.

Gills! Mutation! LOL at least it has a few classic lines.

I have a new one. It's called: Create Your Own Worst Movie of All Time!

_____ Movie. Fill in with your favorite choice of word: Epic, Date, Scary, etc. For additionally suckiness, you can add a roman numeral at the end! Yay!

My vote on this would have to go with "Blair Witch2: Book of Shadows". I cannot believe it took until page 14 of the thread for it to be mentioned.

There was a good nude scene, but even that was nowhere near enough to make me sit through it. Worst of all, I own it on DVD

I think the reason BW2 was mentioned is because nobody saw it besides you

I actually liked BW 2 better than the first one. But I thought the goth chick was hot, so maybe I'm a little biased. I thought the first one was totally stupid, and not scary at all.

NICE!! Good one j_garcia.

To lower myself even more I will have to admit that it is still in my DVD stand after 5 moves. I take it out, think about throwing it away, pack it up and then unpack it at my next residence. I think I am just waiting until I have the only remaining copy in existence and then I will start a bidding war on e-bay. Maybe I will get $5 or something

 

[crashkelly]

darien87,

I totally agree. The goth chick was hot, but that just was not enough.

Yeah the first one was pretty bad as well. Thankfully it came out in my younger days so I snuck into the theatre with some buddies. We all walked out going WTF was that and got drunk to forget

Cheers

The first one was pretty bad. All that hype and then a whole lot of nothing... I saw it in the theater too and I think there were about 4 other people there. I never bothered with the second one as a result

Yeah, we went and saw it after everybody said it was the scariest movie ever. I remember one scene where they woke up one day and someone was missing and there was what looked like a pile of jello outside the tent. We were all hella confused. About 5 or 6 people in the theater were yelling, "What was that?!?!"

I think we all got duped. Who the hell thought that movie was scary?!?! It was just a bunch of shaky camera work and no real payoff at the end.

Strange, I have seen thousands of movies, but I to, passed on this one.
Clearly I can't comment on it. (but may watch it, to see how 'bad' it is.)

Until reading about it here, I had no clue that a BW2 had ever been made. I never understood the critical acclaim that the first one received (in fact, I thought it sucked.)

Manos: The Hands of Fate

Mystery Science Theater 3000 did a great job of funny commentary when they showed this movie back in the 90s.

Torgo rules!

[j_garcia]
