worst movies ever!

[anarchyintheuk]

Flash Gordon is up there.

IMO, the Sound of Music. The only movie that made me root for the nazis to win.

steven seagal - all of his movies.  Now they have gotten so bad they don't even use his own voices at times.  Have you noticed?

Blue Lagoon. My -now - ex made me go and see it. It's the only film I've fallen asleep watching in the cinema. Oh, and Santa versus the Martians.

Anyone ever see Mega Force? That was the only movie that I observerd being filmed. The actors seemed really quite stupid; it took many "takes" to do some really simple scenes. I still was looking forward to its release at the theaters-thinking that it was a good action movie. It was shockingly bad-the acting and the whole story. It was made in '81.

Yeah that movie was HORRIBLE!!! Remember when the hero knocked on the bad guys tank and when he opened the hatch to see what he wanted the hero told him " The good guys always win!" [:D]

I'll second that- I though I had a real bug for a few seconds.

Dark Star.
 
Zardoz was an Academy Award winner by comparison.

I nominate Space Mutiny, made bearable only through the prism of MST3K.

Flash Gordon is up there.

Flash Gordon was a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the comic strip, radio show, and tv show that originally inspired the movie. Camp at its best. I think some folks took it a little too seriously.

And Max Von Sydow as Ming the Merciless was awesomely cartoonish over-the-top evil. Almost as good as his character in Strange Brew.

Funnily enough I liked Flash Gordon - it was meant to be well-over-the-top and it was.

As for "The Big Red One" I did like it. It's an odd movie. On first release it got totally panned. Then a recent director's cut was made, and the film was MUCH longer and apparently a completely different film as a result. The new release won a Palme d'Or, at Cannes, fairly recently. It is stylized, and maybe unrealistic, but it's just really about 6 men. The rest of the war goes on around them, almost without any context. I found Marvin, who I usually have little time for, strangely moving towards the very end. Give the new DVD a try. I would rate it WELL above Private Ryan, which I think is a lousy movie. The initial stages are frighteningly brilliant, but after that it's just tush, has the "typical" character profiles, and in places it's just nauseatingly sugary.

I would say that every "Ernest" movie ever made was awful, but I have to admit to finding them a hoot, as long as you watch them with a youngster. [:'(]

I'm also a great fan of Dark Star. I know I'm completely without objectivity about it. Some films just seem right at the time that you watch them. I think you probably need to be fairly high to enjoy it. The crew sure were! and I liked the stupid conversation with the bomb. The film wasn't meant to be serious, except in it's complete (but sadly; oh so common) absurdity.

Totally worst movie - any WW2 John Wayne movie, plus his great artistic high point - The Green Berets! [:(] [>:]


Have to admit i love his cowboy films though

[JudgeDredd]

John Wayne should've stuck to cowboy films where he excelled. His war movies were pants.

I too liked The Big Red One.

As for Dark Star, I turned it off after 20 minutes.

I liked Flash Gordon at the time, but being older now I couldn't sit and watch it again!

Just finished watching Dragon Wars and that has to be one of the worst movies I ever saw....the opening exposition sequence was so laughably bad that I could not believe it could get any worse....it did... though I will admit that one 10 minute urban battle set piece, where "Lord of the Rings" meets "Black Hawk Down", did hold my attention before quickly losing it again....

bad taste anyone?

Sorry about Dark Star Judge - it's all a question of age. I'm ancient and it seemed cool at the time. But, so did paisley shirts!

As for Flash Gordon - it's so kitsch that the older you are, the more you should watch it!

[JudgeDredd]

Hey, I like Paisley shirts...had quite a few in my youth...trouble is, I think at least with Dark Star, I didn't get to see it in my youth...

[RedArgo]

Hmmm, there are a lot of movies on this list that I like. I guess everyone has their own taste.

My personal most disliked movie was Leaving Las Vegas. I couldn't wait for Nicholas Cage's character to die and put me out of his misery.

I nominate Fantasy Mission Force

Some highlights from the Wikipedia entry:

the film begins with a Japanese attack on an Allied military camp, which a map reveals to be somewhere in Canada...

femme fatale Lily (Brigitte Lin), who sports knee-high red leather boots and a bazooka...

After obliterating the Amazon tribe...

attacked by sword and axe-brandishing Chinese Nazis riding in 1970s-era muscle cars...

with another killed by a sword in the buttocks..
