Worst. Movie. Ever.

[Benni]

Last night we started to watch a movie called The Pink Chiquitas with Frank Stallone. Sounded like a cute movie. On the Sattelite guide it gave the rating as 8 years old+. NO WAY. I had to look it up in IMDB today, this is what it says;

A pink meteor controlled by aliens lands near a small town and turns the local women into nymphos.

About 30 seconds into the movie Frank picks this blonde bombshell up hitchhiking, the car behind them starts shooting at them and he goes "get down" to her. She goes "oh O.K." spits out her gum and proceeds to well ..... get down. And the acting was just was so bad. But so many recognizable character actors in it. I had to turn it off.

FRANK STALLONE KING OF
WORST.MOVIES.EVER

Does anyone remember the crapfest, Clash of the Titans?

I laughed and laughed just thinking of it. I remember my older sister had to rent it and write paper comparing it to something or other, but she couldn't bear to watch that excruciating excuse for a movie, so she begged me to do it for her. I did it, and she still owes me -- big time.

I second whoever said Enough. Someone had it on last weekend at my gym, and even with the sound off (closed captioning was on), it was terrible. Bad acting (it was hilarious to watch her "emote"), bad haircut, and a formulaic plot I could have written in my sleep. But funny!

The Time Machine, that movie sucked so bad that I walked out thirty minutes into it and I loved Guy Pearce. Please do not waste your time or money on this movie.

Hah. Yeah, that was a remarkably boneheaded mangling of the novel, wasn't it, with the romance and the anvillicious environmentalism and the English-speaking Eloi and the uber-Morlocks and... yeah, I'll stop now.

Loved Guy Pearce in Priscilla. Loved Guy Pearce's chest in Priscilla. Did not love him in The Time Machine.

Wait, wait. I think that movie falls in the category of "so good it's bad." I saw it in the theatres when I was a youngun and loved it, then saw it more recently and... yeah, it's bad, but in a fun way. Like that other 80's Greek epic flick, Hercules with Lou Ferrigno (not Hercules in New York with Ahnuld, though that's equally hilarious)

Clash of the Titans!
Its a classic. I loved it in the 80's and now I rent it for my kids. They love it too. You can't beat Ray Harryhausen effects. (well, you can, but hey, he's the innovator!)

I just saw Clash of the Titans this past week in one of those wee hours of the morning movie timeslots. I actually thought it was better than I remembered. The Gorgon scene especially was effectively creepy (though, kind of comical). And, I can't hate a movie that features cute owls (real and mechanical).

However, even though I've never seen it, I never want to see Battlefield Earth. Just watching the promos and clips for that thing almost gave me the shudders, they were that bad. And, it's not like my gut reaction was proven to be wrong, based on what I've read/heard about it from those who did see it.

I would like to nominate House of the Dead.

I saw this at the movies with my boyfriend, and about 4 other people. 2 people left within 10 minutes of the movie starting, and we spent the rest of the movie laughing uproariously at the shocking badness of it all.

The acting, the sets, the whole stupid premise!!! I guess you can't expect much from a German directed-based on video game-movie. (Right down to the giant SEGA banner that was prominent in the first 5 minutes of the movie in which there is a rave scene).

Wow. I loved both Clash of the Titans and The Time Machine. Classics!

Oh no.... wait.. I was thinking of Time Bandits. Yeah, The Time Machine sucks.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but.... Gladiator was sooooo intensly boring that I still haven't seen the end of it, after trying 4 or 5 times.

Shallow Hal was a complete waste of money. (for the studio, not me, I never even spent the money to rent it)

Madagascar was pretty lame. The Ring was incredibly boring.

But, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Kangaroo Jack is THE worst movie I have ever had the misfortune of seeing.

Not as far as I am concerned. I posted the same thought in the Unpopular Movie Opinions thread.

I thought that American Pop was the lamest, most cringe inducing movie ever. It's made for suburban men in their 40s who think that their distressed brown leather jackets still make them look cool.

I see you all with Van Helsing and will raise you a Bad Santa. We turned both off after about 20-30 minutes.

The problem with Bad Santa is that it didn't really revel in its badness and tried to have it both ways tastewise: it had a Santa who was completely assholish and yet it felt the need to make his sidekick a truly evil character when the movie had to end. Why not just explore a character who doesn't feel the need to change? Why not just have an asshole Santa who bugs the hell out of everybody? What's so wrong with that?

I get the feeling if Bad Santa was made with both a South Park mentality and a foreign film structure (where we don't have to have any revelations to make the protagonist likable) it would have been a dynamite movie.
