Worst movies ever....

[Dark Jezter]

Well, according the the IMDB's Bottom 100 Movies list, the three worst movies ever are Manos, the Hands of Fate, From Justin to Kelly, and Gigli.

I've seen a few so-bad-they're-funny movies in my time, two spring to mind:
Soccerdog & Dollman vs Demonic Toys

Actually, they were bad without being funny, my friends & I just made observations that were funny as a form of self-defence mechanism.

Just straight out bad movies though??
I found Freddy Got Fingered disgusting & unfunny. Ditto Tomcats, to a lesser extent. Meet The Parents was fairly painful too, now I recall- in that "wanting to scream at the characters to do something intelligent" kinda way.

In the vein of Kevin Costner doing the post-apocalyptic thang: The Postman. I don't know how it ended (if it ever did), because I had to turn it off when it was running on cable.

Also, Contact. In the approximate words of Mr. Garrison of South Park fame, "It takes you three whole hours to find out that the alien is her ing father?!?"

Let's see...I also hated Blade Runner. I got the director's cut on DVD because everyone said it was a "must own" for the new format. That movie was soooo stupid. Maybe I'm just pissed that I spent money on it, who knows?

Oh, and Highlander 2 is a gimme in the worst movie ever category. The other sequels also uniformly suck. Hell, even the original doesn't touch the series as far as I'm concerned. "Let's get some pseudo-French guy to play the Scot!" At least Adrian Paul did a halfway decent accent... But, the moral of the Highlander story is that nothing was worse than Highlander 2.

Sacrilege! Heretic! Someone get the tar and feathers!

Seriously, I think you really need to put that film in context in order to appreciate it. First of all it was a loose interpretation (Dare I say reimagining? It even had Edward James Olmose in it. Curious.) of Phillip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. This was really the first and best representation of the cyberpunk genre on the big screen. It was also the first time that we see the vision of this Japanese future that was prevalent in Scifi during the '80s and occasionally resurfaces. Aside from that, it asks fundamental questions about the nature of life, the possibility of biotechnological life, and the rights that such life would have. In addition to that, there's the subtle questions of whether or not Deckard was really a replicant and whether replicants would even know whether or not they themselves are. Its a fascinating look at a future that could be.

Rather than being near the bottom, this one rates near the top as an intellectual film that you simply can't sit through and watch if you want to enjoy all the layers of meaning stacked within. Its a film that begs to be deconstructed, thought about, and discussed in order to get the real enjoyment out of it. If you just watch it for what's on the surface, you're bound to be disappointed and you'll miss the true meaning of the movie.

I don't mind the Postman... and my parents think it's a great film.

We've got it on DVD.

Oh, and Highlander 2 is a gimme in the worst movie ever category.

People keep talking about Highlander 2.

There was Highlander, which was good.

And then there was the sequel, Highlander 3: The Sorcerer, which wasn't.

There was no Highlander 2. (And I'll have words with anyone who says otherwise!)

Manos is the most incompetently-made film ever.

Dude, you do realize you just lost all credibility, right?

Highlander 2? I've never heard of that one.

But "Shepherd" ist probably the most incompetent one I've ever seen. It's not bad, it's not so bad it's good again - it's even worse. It is kind of a B movie, though, so I don't know if that counts.

I was offended this year by "Bruce Almighty"'s preaching. "Naked Weapon" was very bad.

But to me, the worst top-list movie I've ever seen is "Battlefield Earth". It's like a trainwreck watching a trainwreck: you know it's as bad as it can get, and still, every single frame pushes the film farther down. It gets worse, and worse, and worse. It's almost as if the filmmakers deliberately tried to outdo the previous scene in sheer stupidity and stomach-turning camera positions.

And don't forget John Travolta going for the Rob Zombie look.
