I don't require happy endings, but man this movie was a downer.

Natural Born Killers is a masterpiece but I fully understand why some people may hate it as it's not a mainstream motion picture. I also think Drive is one of the better movies released over the past decade but again it's also very artsy and pretentious so it's going to put off a lot of people.

The worst movie ever and it is not even close is Don't Go In The Woods. Picture a very cheesy horror film where during the supposed scary parts they suddenly break into song. It is really really really bad. It is my 1-5 worst movie all in one.

What? I understand not liking the ending or the fact that

Spoiler!


But I wouldn't even call it a bad movie, let alone one of the worst ever. At least it took some risks, was pretty intense and had decent overall acting.

Very funny, on Howard the Duck. I actually just picked up issue #1 at a second hand store here in town, a little boxing around the edges. I can't watch the first Resident Evil without seeing Black Widow on screen, and you are forcing me to rewatch Gran Torino, because I don't remember it being that bad. Milla Johovich in that movie absolutely killed Scarlett Johansson for me.

The female version of Kristen Stewart? Give me a break. Gosling has been doing exceptional work for his entire career. Drive may not be a movie made for everyone (I love it), but to compare him to Stewart merely because of his looks is craziness.

Need proof, well check out a very young Gosling in The Believer. It's not quite as good as American History X, but it showcases how great Gosling was, well before he hit it big. Oh and the trailer (and movie) are NSFW. It's not for the faint of heart.

Films, like music, are subjective. I have a friend who loves the Transformers movies but I don't tell him that his taste is bad. I love The Polar Express and watch it every Christmas, but there are a bunch of people who hate that movie. You like what you like.

What is this, movies that aren't my taste or an actual list of bad movies?

Everyone's list must include:

The Room
Plan 9 from Outer Space
Mac and Me (Made by McDonald's)
Troll 2
Tarzan the Ape Man

These are actual bad movies. If you haven't seen these then I suggest you have a bad movie party. Get drunk, and watch some horrendous entertainment.

I understand that, but seriously, "Worst movies you've ever seen" and people are listing some decent movies here, I understand: "bad" for some of the movies would be acceptable but worst ever? No way.

How dare you lump this masterpiece with those films. Tommy Wiseau is agod amoung men for delivering us this marvel.

Personally I think you have to seperate this category, you can't really compare some cheap ass indie or horror movie made for a quick buck that wasn't really supposed to be much good with something made with a huge budget, top actors and directors and the intention of being art.

Ender's Game.

Made the terrible mistake of PVRing it, and could only take 10 minutes of it before it was swiftly stopped and deleted.

He's good in Fracture with Anthony Hopkins as well, and Only God Forgives is well worth a look

I can only think of one movie I truly hated. Before Sunset. I cringed every time Ethan Hawk spoke, which was pretty much the entire movie. I don't believe that critics or people actually liked those movies, and am scared my girlfriend is going to make me watch Boyhood with her one day, since I am guessing that will just be more of the same torture.

I don't mind good old mindless violence in a movie, but this just didn't do it for me at all.

Last night on CCTV here in China there was a dubbed into Chinese version of "Standing Ovation" I know it is geared towards the teenie-bopper age, but my god, I watched it for about 15 minutes out of grotesque fascination before turning it off because my retinas were begining to emit smoke.
