Worst movies ever....

[Jhamin]

The Thin Red Line: I went into the theater expecting to see a gritty World War II movie in the vein of Saving Private Ryan. Instead, I got to listen to some angsty loser spout poetry for a few hours. Argh!

Good God this was awful!

I almost developed ulcers during one of (not the, one of) the scenes where soldiers shoot at eachother in slow motion while the camera pans up into the trees and does a closeup of fruitbats hainging from the branches while classical music plays.

And it just wouldn't end!

You know the part at the end when the finally take the hill? Guess what, the movie lasts another 45 min!

I'm angry now just thinking about it.

And the Grinch!

How much do you have to muck up the story for a viewer to be able to step back, observe the plot, and decide that the Grinch is justified and the Whos down in Whoville have it coming?

And did the Grinch really need a love interest in the form of the mayor's blond spandex wearing wife?

I mean WTF? The Grinch had a love interest???

Just to yet again establish myself as clueless, I love love love The Thin Red Line. One of my favourite movies.

As long as you stop trying to insist it be a war film, it's got so much going on. Well, I watch it over and over.

I can't say Masters of the Universe, because we went to the theater and paid full price, knowing it would be bad. My two best friends and I kept saying, "Good journey" (with badly mangled versions of the accompanying hand gesture) for weeks after that one.

I have a lot of fondness for that movie

I don't claim it's good, but it's fun.

And I think Dolph Lundgren actually makes a really good He-Man.

Well, it's hard to call it a rip-off. Considering the lead character was Allan Quatermain. Yeah, same one that got used in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The book this movie is based on was written in 1885.

Well, I didn't know that when I saw it in the theater. I haven't read the books either.

The one movie I cannot stand is Local Hero. I know this is supposed to be a great movie (IMDB gives it 7.6/10) but I just... don't... like it. So there.

It's a great movie. Bill Forsyth was a really talented writer/director before he came to the States. Then his career went down the toilet.

I'll add Black Mask 2 to the list. This one might even give H2 a run for its money in the "kill me to make the pain stop" department.

Also, any movie with the words "Starring Madonna" will certainly qualify for worst film ever.

I'm going to have to say "Manos: Hands of Fate" is THE worst movie ever made, followed closely by "The Incredible Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies!!?" (not even Mike and the 'bots could help me view that all the way through the first time). "The Creeping Terror" must get a nod here too, it's a horror movie with a NARRATOR! Apparently the director accidentally knocked all the sound recording equipment into a lake early in the production and couldn't afford to replace it. Plus, the monster looks like a giant shag carpet that moves so slowly, its victims have to crawl into its mouth to be devoured.

God Bless MST3K for enriching my life with terrible movies!

Grrrrr....

A film the contains the quote -- "History, tradition, culture... These are not concepts, they are trophies I keep in me den as paperweights!" --cannot, in my own supersubjective opinion, be all bad. As a matter of fact, a line like that pretty much guarantees the film a top spot on the "Its all good" list...

I'm sorry. I have been outed.

I giggle my fool A$$ off everytime I watch this movie.

I have the collector's edition (Your welcome Bruce).

This one makes it as one of my desert island top ten.

followed closely by "The Incredible Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies!!?"

OK, actually, it's "...Incredibly...."

Yes, I've seen it in all it's horrible glory. You mean you didn't like the big musical numbers (star/director Ray Dennis Steckler's wife at the time, Carolyn Brandt, was a dancer, so there's often musical numbers in his films). If I recall correctly, another character's musical number had lyrics along the lines of:

Choo choo chi-boochie
I love you baby
Oh so much
Uh ooh wow wow

Choo chooooo
Choo chi-boochie
kisses drive me wild
(drive me wild!)
choo chooooo
I am weaker than a little child
wow wow WOW!


And the MST3K couldn't make it all the way through this film? Wimps!
