The stupidest movie ever!

[Mystery Man]

For years a movie called Hog Wild was on my list of the stupidest movie I've ever seen. I remember at the age of nine walking out on this movie with my best friend and demanding our money back. The theatre manager must have known out pain and gave us a refund. This movie has been on my list for 25 years. It has just been replaced by The Day After Tomorrow. I haven't had my intelligence insulted this bad for a long, long time. What a turd!

Just had to vent.

I thought that Day After Tommorrow wasn't all that bad. Its definitely a "Turn Brain Off" movie, but there's tons of those already so I've got lots of practice.

So, describe? The producer said that, of course, normally such things would take hundreds of years to happen and that to make a watchable movie the time scale had to be dramatically shortened. Other than that, what?

I think about the only thing I didn't like about it was the CGI wolves. No reason for CGI (and badly done CGI at that) that I know of (I speculated once that the reason might have been that wolves are an endangered species and thus some rule might have prevented them from doing such a thing - I have no idea otherwise, since I think that the CGI wolves must have been much much more expensive).

Though low down on the list of movies in my life, and not in my mind worth the 8+ dollars to see it in the theater (which unfortunately I did when it came out). But I don't know that I would push it down to worst movie ever. There are lots of movies worse off then this one. Mostly those that you try to foget as soon as it ended. Those where it was better to have a black hole of memory instead of the memories of the movie

I have to say the big scene that was a disapointment to me was when he's on the phone with his dad and the water level rises. With all the blood, I figured a shark would try to attack them....guess I was trying to make it worse then it was

--Put that in black just in case it counts, and I'd rather not get yelled at for somthing that small--

I liked the movie. Was it realistic? No, but then no movies really are and I wasn't expecting it to be. Ya, the wolves were dumb, but it was such a small part of the movie that it didn't really ruin it for me.

On the topic of stupidest movie I go with Cemetary Man.

I managed to avoid Day After Tomorrow. If we're starting a poll, I'd vote for Reign of Fire.

I actually fell asleep during it.

I haven't seen it. But of the worst movies of them all, IMDB viewers have voted for the following: http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom

There are a lot of movies from the 60's that I've never seen on the list. More recent stinkers include:
Future War (1997)
From Justin to Kelly (2003)
Troll 2 (1990)
You Got Served (2004)
Backyard Dogs (2000)
Santa with Muscles (1996)
SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004)
Glitter (2001)
Werewolf (1996)
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997)
Gigli (2003)
Police Academy: Mission to Moscow (1994)
Kazaam (1996)

Damn, I haven't seen any of these movies either!

Stupid? Its just not fair to call a film that's so disinterested in logic stupid. We should reserve the term 'stupid' for films that purport to make sense and don't.

Oh, and I rather liked 'Attack of the Really Bad Weather'... err, 'The Day After Tomorrow'. For a dumb, cliche-ridden CGI calamity-fest it suprised me by letting the bad weather win...

I think I read somewhere that they tried using real wolves, but couldn?t get them to act vicious enough. They had to CGI them in as a result.

As for worst movie ever has to be The Scarlet Letter with Demi Moore. I rented it once with my girlfriend expecting it to be awful, but we were hoping for some fun making fun of it. Even with the lowest expectations I have ever had for a movie it was by far 10 times worse than I could have possibly imagined. There have maybe been a handful of movies I wished I could get my life back after (not just my money) and this is the only one I want to stick a hot poker into my brain to burn out all traces of. Do not take this a challenge to watch this, or you to will want to burn that section of your brains out too. There is absolutely nothing redeeming in any way about this movie, period.

I'm really surprised not to see Plan 9 From Outer Space on that list. It's regarded by many as the worst film ever made.

I own it on DVD (it's in the "so bad you have to see it" category) and I have to agree. WOW it's bad. My favorite bit is the cops who gesture constantly with their loaded guns, including scratching their heads with the barrels...
