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

[Lexmark3200]

Here is what I have on the top of my head regarding some of the worst films ever made, simply in my own opinion; I'll add as I think of more....these get my award:

Exorcist II: The Heretic
2Fast2Furious
Jaws: The Revenge
The Italian Job (original; please no flaming on this: It's my opinion)
Amityville 1992: Its About Time
Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes
Amityville: A New Generation
Amityville: Dollhouse (was this REALLY necessary?)
Amityville Curse
Lawnmower Man 2
Galaxy Quest

More will come to mind as I think of them.....

[alumpkin]

For starters...

The Pledge
Head of State
Bringing Down the House
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (the women were nice though)

[alumpkin]

After looking up my poorly rated Netflix movies here are some more:

Jeeper Creepers
The Villain
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
Universal Soldier: The Return
Children of the Corn IV
The Graveyard Shift
The Real Cancun
The Core
Like Mike
Down to Earth
Pootie Tang
Breakfast of Champions
Solo
The Master of Disguise
House of the Dead
Black Knight
Batman and Robin
Dungeons & Dragons
Encino Man
Escape from LA
Ernest Goes to Jail
Freejack

I am sure some people are going to have some differing opinions, but these are some movies I really didn't like.

Jeez, your list reminds me of a lot of movies that I also thought sucked. I can't believe you can remember all these. The only one I can somewhat disagree with is The Real Cancun. Any movie with that much female skin just can't be put on a "Worst List". I started to put Showgirls on the list but again, can't do it.

But I guess that's the danger of lists like these -- always, there are bound to be movies on these lists that I like. Oh, well...

Mine:

Ishtar
Avengers
Batman and Robin
Perfect Storm (I know I'm in the minority on this -- I'll respond to all the flames now: bite me, it's just an opinion.)

...hmm..can't really think of any others (that I've seen -- didn't see Battlefield Earth).

[sc03979]

Some of these movies aren't necessarily awful just much worst then what I expected.

Eyes Wide Shut
Gothika
Hollow Man
Gods and Generals
Any Batman without Michael Keaton

Yeah, no flaming, but MUST disagree with you on Perfect Storm; I liked it and own the DVD. It wasnt fabulous, though, but I wouldnt put it on my worst films of all time list.

Of your list, I enjoy and/or own the following, so must disagree (on):

Escape From LA (Thought it was a clever sequel to one of my favorite Carpenter films, Escape From New York; Russell just seems born to play Snake Plissken)

Jeepers Creepers (my better half loves this and part 2, and I thought they were nifty little horror flicks that "creeped" me out and which I hadnt felt in a long time from today's horror films; the idea of the "Creeper" was pretty cool)

Graveyard Shift (while not great, I thought this was a neat Stephen King adaptation for the screen; Stephen Macht is just downright creepy in this and so is Brad Douriff as the rat exterminator)

The other titles on your list I agree with; man were some of these bad.....Like Mike and The Core....holy ****....those were bad.....

Lexmark, I do have to agree somewhat here. I say somewhat because I would still have these movies on my list, but they are the better ones that thinking back, shouldn't be on the worst movies of all time list. Escape from New York was entertaining and I agree about Russell, but it was just a little too over the top for me. I guess I was just disapointed with Jeepers Creepers... it started out well and then went downhill. I did like the 2nd Jeepers Creepers though. Graveyard Shift... yeah I was probably unfair... for the time it came out, the special effects were good and I agree that the story was pretty good as well. Overall, you make some good points.

Understandable; as a serious, avid film buff who studied communications and film techniques at New York's Hofstra University, I feel my opinions on most Hollywood created products are shared by a majority of people; when I usually say something sucks, it usually sucks, and vice versa; thats why I felt the titles on YOUR list didnt necessarily belong on a really, really horrid, "worst films of all time" list.....I mean, I dont think they were unwatchable....thats a really heavy honor to bestow on a piece of **** such as Grease 2, 2Fast2Furious and Exorcist II. THESE were bad, but I was actually ENTERTAINED by some on your list, including Escape From LA and Jeepers Creepers. I am glad you re-thought some of your stance here; you made the right choice! And yes, please give Graveyard Shift another chance....that giant rat/bat creature at the end was worth the price of admission alone...if not for Brad Douriff and Stephen Macht's seedy chararacters; nowhere near the best horror film of all time, but a decent Stephen King adapatation nonetheless, perhaps next to "It" and "Sleepwalkers."

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.

[JSE]

Let's See?

1. TOYS
2. WAITING FOR GUFMAN (SP?)
3. DAREDEVIL (Just about anything with AAAAAFLAAAAACK)
4. OPEN WATERS
5. EXORCIST II
6. BATTLEFIELD EARTH
7. FLASH GORDON
9: All FRIDAY THE 13TH movies.
10. EUROPEAN AND VEGAS VACATIONS.

Just to name a few off the top of my head.

Wow, I forgot about Daredevil and Battlefield Earth. Thanks JSE. I thought Open Waters was bad, but I wouldn't put in my worst movie ever list, but I hear where you are coming from.
