Best\Worst Movie Ever

[Ford Prefect]

The Mexican has to be considered for worst movie. Plus anything by the twin wusses Richard Gere and Hugh Grant. They're an affront to manhood.

As for best movie, that's hard. I'll go with Cry Freedom, the Steven Beko story, with Kevin Kline and Denzil Washington.

I don't mind Richard Gere movies...Primal Fear is one of my favourites.

I'm going to chime in and agree with the above. Seriously, I don't think I know anyone that saw Borat and didn't enjoy it for what it is.

Best "bad" movie I remember was a Martin Short movie, I had to look it up. Innerspace.

It has a really cheesy shrink ray machine, and all sorts of cheesy scenes related to that. Anyways, there is one scene later on with the shrink ray machine that makes the rest of the movie amazing.


Another bad movie with a single redeeming scene is Envy with Jack Black and Ben Stiller. Movie is garbage, except for a Mr. Christopher Walken. He saves the movie with a single line: "Pretzel Kiosk!" Just find that scene online somewhere an watch it.

In the same vein of "bad" movies that are a lot of fun to watch, I'd put James Bond movies in the mix. It's easy to see where Austin Powers got all the material. Many scenes are just lifted from the Bond films, with hardly and dialogue changes. I'd say most Bond films are parodies in their own right.

I think that James Bond is the crappiest movie franchise ever. I tried to watch several JB movies, I really did but I couldn't take more than several minutes. Connery, Moore, Brosnan, it doesn't matter. It's not funny, it's not thrilling, it has no suspense, no entertainment, I just don't see the point at all. A big cool invincible dude is after a big bad creepy dude on the moon/in the ocean/in a volcano...wtf? Right, I'm gonna watch THAT...

I can't stand Stiler, Ferrel, Sandler, Myers and other sorry excuses for entertainers. There's not enough money in the world you can pay me to watch their movies.

I don't watch any straight-to-TV movies (space clowns? really? someone put down money so such garbage can be filmed?) so I cannot comment on these, but I really hated a lot of movies with high ratings, such as No country for old men, Rescue dawn (this movie was so bad I almost cried), Children of men...

300 was one of those movies that I watched in the theatre and loved it. Bought the DVD when it came out, watched it again and was really disappointed. The movie only consists of 2 things. Yelling and abs. It was a two hour movie with about 15 minutes of story. Apart from the gimpy guy there was no character development. I thought the special effects and the slow-mo stuff was pretty cool. But it wasn't enough to hold up the movie which was lacking in pretty much everything else a movie is suppose to have. I think the hype and the slow-mo stuff made me like it initially, but after a second viewing the movie is pretty bad.

I knew I hated Tom Green so much that no matter who told me the movie was good, I refused (and still refuse) to see it.
Of course, only one person has ever tried to get me to watch it, so it's been a pretty easy go.
