Worst. Movie. Ever.

I gave it a chance, I really gave it a chance but I cannot see for the life of god why The silence of the lambs was so successful. I yawned, fell asleep and asked for 2 hours of my life back.

Better Midler's character actually

You reminded me of For the Boys which has the scene of Bette at the end with her face having all the extra old-age wrinkles on it...

...wait, this belongs in the Disturbing Movie Moments thread.

Many people I know have an absolute adoration for the film Newsies. I tried to watch it, but I just couldn't take it. I wasn't expecting amazing, but it was just so awful. In a so bad it's really bad kinda way.The cheesy singing and dancing and dialogue! Maybe it is one of those movies you have to watch when you're a kid...

I found Jawbreaker in the ever-handy $5.50 bin at Wal-Mart, and I would now like that $5.50 back. The half-hour I saw was alternately creepy, lame, pathetic and just downright horrible.

Julianne Moore and Gary Sinise, why The Forgotten why?

The beginning gave me hope. This could have been a really good movie. As soon as they ran over the guy, it went down hill fast. It seems to me that the studio execs had the movie rewritten because no good writer could have come up with such a lame second half of a film. I would have stopped the DVD if it wasn't for the time I already put in it. The alternate ending on the DVD sucked just as bad.

Total Recall. My mother and her then-boyfriend forced me to watch this complete crap and continually raved about how fantastic and interesting it was. I wished for death if only to escape this movie.

Blue Crush. Some of the worst movie dialogue I have ever heard (and this from the woman that watched Ep II: Attack of the Clones about 50 times)

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but I submit The Thin Red Line. I saw it with 3 other people. It was soooooo loooonnnng. The freakin girl on the freakin swing. I'm sure it was suppose to be deep and poetic or something, but I just found it pretentious and boring.

My boyfriend had really wanted to see this movie; when we left the theatre I turned to him and our friends and said: that's a few hours of my life I will never get back. They all burst out laughing, I guess all 4 of us had been sitting there waiting for someone to say this sucks lets leave. All of us hated it. To this day if I even mention the name my (now) husband turns red and starts a tyraid on "the worst movie he has ever seen." Let this be a lesson: if you are watching a movie you hate with others say something, they may feel the same, and you can all live happily ever after.

Here are my nominations. After watching the movies mentioned below, I wonder how bad the hollywood addiction to pain medication is.

1) Ecks vs. Sever -- This needs no preamble. I don't know why this movie was even considered, much less made.

2) Enough -- Jennifer Lopez in an artsy-fartsy wannabe, action wannabe, revenge wannabe, romance wannabe, mother and child tearjerker wannabe mess. And that kid CERTAINLY deserves the Worst Performance by a Child in a Movie award. If you don't believe me, go see it.

3) The Hours -- Emperor's New Clothes of the New Millenium. "Hey, he didn't like 'The Hours'! He must be stupid/ shallow/ unartistic!" The Emperor is NAKED. The Hours is a SLOW, BAD FILM.

4) Punch Drunk Love -- A truly wasted performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was superb as usual. Not even his acting could save this trying hard, disorganized, morphine-induced train wreck.

5) Brotherhood of the Wolf -- For anyone unfortunate enough to see this horrid movie, stop after the first hour and a half. The next two hours (yes, its that fucking long) is as appealing as getting your teeth pulled out. By a dentist with hairy arms. Without gloves. And anaesthesia.

I completely agree with the posters who mentioned The Forgotten and White Noise.

The Hours -- Emperor's New Clothes of the New Millenium. "Hey, he didn't like 'The Hours'! He must be stupid/ shallow/ unartistic!" The Emperor is NAKED. The Hours is a SLOW, BAD FILM.

Word to this. I can't believe this wasn't directed by Ron Howard, and that it didn't star a cross-dressed Russell Crowe in the Nicole Kidman role. Very much a 'prestige' project that was actually utterly pedestrian.
