A sense of irony is usually required to enjoy those types of movies.

1) I love Kevin Cosner movies
2) I love western movies

So my expectations where through the roof, some parts where O.K. it was just too cheesy for me

I loved the fact the story centered around something so historically vaild. The Range Wars are a part of history that rarely is talked about. That's what I liked about it.

There is only one movie that can be worse than all that have already been said:

Shaolin Soccer.


Unfourtunately I got stuck watching this ****-sack and about halfway through was seriously considering going downstairs shutting off the breaker and pretending the power went out.......

My Own Private Idaho
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102494/

Not good at all but any movie with Keanu Reeves talking in it is not very good.

The recently released "Date Movie". Watching that movie was more painful than the Flames/Ducks game 7.

The worst movie I have ever seen is The Whole 10 yards ,as soon as it started I wanted it to be over with.Why make a sequel to an already horrible movie?

I loved that movie! Same with "My Own Private Idaho" that someone mentioned.

Movies I thought were godawful:

Dude, Where's My Car? - (I was actually embarassed when I had to return it.)
House of the Dead - (Video game movies usually suck.)
Capote - (Fell asleep near the end. I don't understand what was so interesting about the man.)

this dicussion begins and ends with Battlefield Earth

Capote was a slow movie. What it came down to was Capote's obsession with 'In Cold Blood' and his willingness to do whatever it took to get what he wanted while writing it. The treat in the movie for me was watching PS Hoffman become Capote. I've seen films of the man and he nailed it.

Absolutely, there is nothing redeeming about this movie whatsoever - and I am a huge Sci Fi Fan. To add insult to injury, I read the book before hand and should have know better.

(And I hate to say it, cause I might be the only one, but Zoolander was frickin' great - I loved the gasoline fight)

No one has backed me up with my claim of Freddie got Fingered??

I mean come on people, it starts with Tom Green jacking off a horse in the opening scene!!

[nfotiu]

Just watched Rumour has it ... , and it deserves a mention in this thread. What an absolutely boring movie. No redeeming qualities.

The Whole Nine yards - terrible??? Sideways?? Both great movies, IMO

It can't be a "worst movie" when they clearly were trying to make the worst movie of all time.

Going Overboard with Adam Sandler. Pretty much the cheapest movie I've ever seen, that and nausiatingly boring and stupid. And I'm a huge Sandler fan.

While we are on the subject of Sandler though, the ending to Anger Management has to named the worst ending of all time. I'd rather die than feel any part of the embarrasment that should consume the person who wrote that.

The Whole Ten Yards, though was god awful.

Crash was the worst movie I ever attempted to view - I only saw 10 minutes of it.

No, not the Oscar winning 2005 movie Crash - thats one of my favorites

I'm talking about the mid 90's flick http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115964/
I think it was banned in a lot of places, as should any movie about people getting off on seeing car accidents. Weird!

I couldn't have said it better. Partially because it was bad AND parsimonious. I think of it as the movie that killed Barry Pepper's career--now he appears in movies about Willie Mays made by ESPN and terrible stuff like that. In fact, along with Panic Room, Battlefield Earth may have killed Forest Whitaker's career too....

I agree with a lot of the films that have been mentioned--and some people's worst films are movies that I quite like. But here are some gems that are on my list:

• Titanic. Surprised no-one's mentioned this one. Truly, truly bad--and to top it off, about 3.5 hours too long.
• The Faculty. IIRC, this was Josh Hartnett's first film--though I haven't followed his career, and so I could be wrong. If it was, then he's lucky it didn't end his acting career right there.
• Phenomenon--with John Travolta
• A Beautiful Mind. Not a good movie at all--in fact, no movie that tells mentally ill people to go off their meds and use "logic" to solve their problems CAN be good. That's a no-no.

There was a brief mention earlier in the thread of how improbable the denouement to War of the Worlds was. In their defense, this is exactly how the 1899 book by H.G. Wells ends. If they'd changed it, the H.G. Wells fan club would have been up in arms. It IS pretty improbable, but decent for the nineteenth century. I agree that the movie was bad, though.

I really disliked 'Legends of the Fall.'

Although the Alberta cinematography was awesome I absolutely hated the story. One of the very few movies I almost walked out of the cinema from.

Growing up I remember my dad raved about a Peter Weir movie called "Picnic at hanging rock." This gets my vote as most boring, mind numbing movie ever. I'm falling asleep just thinking about it!

Speaking of bad movies are there any fans of "Plan 9 from outer space"? Now there's a good bad movie.........

Didnt see The Cutting Edge on here. i can list waaaayy too many but this came to mind immediately

The phrase good bad movie made me instantly think of Death Race 2000.
