the worst movie i have ever watched was pride and the pregudes (wrong spelling)

INDIA SONG by Margareute Duras. Can't say how it ended, 'cause I didn't make it all the way through. I think Delphine Seyrig was in this one. Pretentious trash.

'worst' has somewhat of a different meaning for me. incompetent films are easy enough to fall upon but for myself a film must disappoint on three levels: competency, ethics and failed expectations.

i must truly care and have high anticipation for the film, the actors, director, story line, tradition, and the like, and then be soooo disappointed that the film failed due to the writers and producers selfishly compromising their original vision for what i believe to be cheap commercial gain.

there is only one film that fits that mold ----> The Phantom Menace.

One of mine would have to be The Exorcist 2. The failed expectations part was huge for me, since I didn't expect such a horrible sequel to such a great movie.

There's also an absolutely abysmal movie called Terror Toons, but I don't count it because it's so low budget and unknown. They try to combine funny stuff and gory stuff and it ends up at the painful combination of too funny to be scary and too gory to be funny.

I was forced into going to Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector and considered walking out on it but was too horrified and apalled by the massive audiences reaction to it to move. Other than the soundtrack the movie only had one bright point and it was an analogy about Courteny Love *shivers* when thats the strong point of a film something is seriously SERIOUSLY wrong.

some standouts from the MST3K series are Manos; The Hands of Fate, Skydivers and Pod People. However the commentary does save these films from being too unbearable to watch.

Eragon, a lode of bull shit, it is nething like the book and i sear to god i cryd waching it

In my entire life I've watched 2 movies that I either walked out of, or pressed stopped on the DVD player before they were over:
Jury Duty- I won tickets to its premiere. Walked out after 10 minutes. I hadn't even paid & wanted a refund & my 10 minutes back! So, I snuck into "Bad Boys" afterwards, that made up for it!
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Remake)- My sister brung it over to my house & I stopped it after Leatherface totures his latest victim by placing him on a meat hook & smacking a handful of salt onto his bloody stump. I love blood & gore in a movie...when it has a story. This movie was like 'South Park', just trying to disgust you.

Crash.
pretentious BS

Anyway, Goddard's King Lear is the worst film I've ever seen.

haven't seen his King Lear, but having watched and analyzed a lot of his work (I am a film teacher for my sins), I find him hugely overrated, and mostly useless.

It's probably a typo, but have you guys really seen Mememto?

Hee hee... esruoc fo !

I don't even find Larry the Cable Guy funny in his stand-up act, so there is NO WAY I'll ever see his movie! As for MST3K, I have the "Manos: The Hands of Fate" one on DVD & yeah, it's awful on it's own! What was with that wierdo's legs? The lines added by the Mystery cast were great: "Does this bother you? I'm not touching you!" I do that to my wife & friends all the time! Of course, it always ends pretty much the same way: I get smacked or pushed away.

Oh boy. Here we go........

Manos
Hobgoblins
Aliens Gone Wild
Ultraviolet
Battlefield Earth
Warrior of the Lost World
Overdrawn At The Memory Bank
Wild World Of Batwoman
Laser Blast
Kamen Rider Hibiki and the Seven War Oni
Planet of the Dinosaurs
Frankenfish
King of the Lost World
Dragon Storm
Mammoth
Man-Thing
Legend of the Sabertooth
Python
Bone Snatcher
Mansquito

just on the names alone, I'd be avoiding.

seems yr a masochist.

Yeah, I gotta agree with the Ish-man. However, I wouldn't say "Man-Thing" was worse than "Elektra". It was a direct to video Sci-Fi channel comic-based movie on the misunderstood creature of the swamp. Shouldn't expect too much from the likes o' that. "Elektra" coulda & shoulda been better.

Hahahaha! This would have to be my opinion, though Band Of Outsiders is classic.
