Everyone Always Makes a List of Favorite Films; How About Opinions on the WORST Films

[Lexmark3200]

That would be Van Helsing for me.

The CGI monster is out of the bag and running wild all over a screen near you!

Hugh Jackman looked like he couldn't wait for this movie to be over, and I agree with him 100%.

Kate Beckinsale's Transylvanian accent will go down as possibly the worst accent ever forged.

There was one memorable line in the move though;

Dracula to Igor as Igor is torturing the Werewolf with a cattle prod;

Igor, why do you that?

Igor; But master, that's what I do.

Wow, now THIS I seriously need to disagree with....I thought "Helsing" was the best action film I had seen the whole season of theater-going when it came out, and cant wait to get the DVD (which I heard Universal is only putting a Dolby 5.1 track on, no DTS)....no way in the world is Van Helsing the worst film made in all of time....no way.

1. Showgirls- I thought boobs could save any movie. This one proves that theory incorrect. I was 16 or 17 when I saw it in the theater and I was ready to walk out, but I saw it with a couple of my friends. When the movie was over I mentioned I wanted to walk out about 30 minutes into it. Both of my friends thought the same thing, but didn't think the others would want to go.

2. The Avengers- I saw this a long time ago, and really can't remember much about it. I just know I the pall of boredom that overcame me.

3. Speed- Made me want to never see a Keanu Reeves move ever again. (Finally gave in and watched The Matrix last week, yeah I hated Speed that much!) It was just so stupid and the continuity errors are abundant. (Watch for the cameras reflected off the bus for example)

4. Brotherhood of the Wolf- I didn't understand it. Maybe it was because I was sleepy when I saw it. But nonetheless, there wasn't much entertainment value to it for me.

5. The Net- Did anyone else see this? Best thing about this movie was David Spade mentioning it in a "Hollywood Minute" segment on SNL. (Did you see the movie about the talking pig? That's right Sandra Bullock in The Net. Or something to that effect)

6. Natural Born Killers- Would've been an okay movie if it would've ended when I thought it was going to. But when you add that next hour that followed, it becomes torturous. Not a being a fan of Juliette Lewis also hurts this one.

7. Independence Day- I really like Will Smith and the movie had a cameo by Harry Connick Jr. to boot, but Bill Pullman drags every movie down.

8. Twister- I never thought you could root for a tornado. Then I saw Twister. Nice CGI, but what was the point. Coolest thing about the movie was when leaving the theater, a thunderstorm was starting to make its way toward us.

9. Con-Air- I just can't get past Cage's ridiculous accent! Didn't anyone have the guts to tell him he sounded nearly retarded? Why did he need to have the accent anyway? Argh!!!

10. Renaissance Man- DeVito in the army... 'nuff said.

That's the first ten that came to mind.

10. Renaissance Man- DeVito in the army... 'nuff said.

HAHAHA!!!! I forgot about Renaissance Man... that movie was HORRIBLE! Great call RetardKing. It had the nice happy ending with everyone showing up and passing their tests... it would have been better if they had been called into combat and left DeVito to pout and do some PT.

Okay, let me break some of this down for you because its an interestingly assorted list;

Agree with you on:

Showgirls (you are right --- not even tits and ass saved this ridiculous film --- did you see the GIGANTIC box set thing they put together for this waste?)

Renasissance Man (absolutely a waste of time)

The Net (BAD and did not need a Special Edition DVD, did it?)

I Disagree with you on:

Independence Day, Twister, and Con Air; I loved these and own all of them; they all sound really good in 5.1 surround, with Twister getting DTS. I just bought Con Air the other night, but you must understand I am a Jerry Bruckheimer nut, and anything he produces I will probably buy, which I have, including Crimson Tide, the Bad Boys films, Armageddon, you know....I thought Cage's accent was terrible too, but it was just such a cool action film.

Well, when broken down succinctly, perhaps that may be correct, but sometimes I find myself forgiving certain films because of their absolutely beautiful marketing or performance on Digital Versatile Disc...

Okay, so basically we agree on the synopsis, but disagree on the conclusion. (I vote thumbs down, you vote thumbs up, yes?) Fine.

But, I could say a similar thing about showgirls: Well, when [you say that it's not a story worth making a film about], perhaps that may be correct, but sometimes I find myself forgiving certain films because of their [T&A].

Actually, I did enjoy the T&A in Showgirls. The thought of Elizabeth Berkley -- Jessie from Saved by The Bell, ferpete'ssakes! -- all growed up and nekkid...mmmm...I'm going to have to get that boxset, but I'm confident enough with it's future that I think I'll wait until I see it in the cutout bins.

But that's not even what saved it for me.

I should mention that I really enjoyed the characterizations -- it's kind of like watching a shark school -- at first, they all look dangerous, but then you realize, some of them are even afraid of each other. (So, by analogy, at first glance, all the characters in Showgirls were sleazy, but then some of them had moral lines that they wouldn't cross, that others would. So there were characters in them that were sleazier than other characters. Enough so that even some of the sleaziest characters in the film found them sleazy by comparison. Did that make any sense?)

Exactly! Just for that, it's kept off the list.

Yeah, I gotta tell ya Dusty....she really WAS one delightful delicious piece of ass in that film, our Miss Saved By The Bell....what a body on that girl. I couldnt stand the film, and didnt understand why this gets a massive DVD set with all kinds of collectors items that makes it look like some kind of board game, while cult classics like "The Warriors" get bare bones treatment from the likes of Paramount; but I can understand the appeal for some people. After all, the rest of us need jerk off material, right?

When you say "grown up and nekkid...." man, was that girl awesomely N-A-K-E-D in that film! What a body on her; and Kyle McLoughan's little slut wasnt half bad, either. I would have loved to see the two of them roll around in the hay a bit.

[Lexmark3200]

"Jason X"....one of the absolute worst films --- horror or otherwise --- of all time, surely.

I am glad to see Exorcist II and Jaws: The Revenge making other people's lists of the worst......
