I didn't care for Anger Management. It's too much of an emotional rollercoaster.

What does "an emotional rollercoaster" have to do with a movie being a bad movie? That's like saying The Bourne Ultimatum and its action was too rollercoaster. A movie about anger better be about emotional rollercoaster. Pick any movie about drug and substance abuse - Days of Wine and Roses (1962) it's about an emotional rollercoaster and it was a powerful and emotionally compelling movie.

The Condemned.

Netflix just started allowing people to view a bunch of movies from their home computers as part of the subscription service. I just finished browsing the horror section and there has to be a hundred or so movies that look atrocious. I think I just found a treasure chest of awful movies.

Now do you get to watch these "awful" movie for free, or at least at a discount or are you going to watch them anyway?

A truly awful film would be one that is so boring it sends you to sleep. You feel absolutely mortified at the prospect of having to sit through it in any capacity and you can't wait to turn off the DVD player/leave the cinema. It's THAT BAD!

I can't say there's many films that have made me THAT anxious, but there are a few -

These films were so tedious it drove me to distraction -

'Titanic'
'Driller Killer'
'Star Trek: The Movie'
'Last Days'

I'll probably remember more at some point. I know Last Days and Driller Killer are cult classics, but it doesn't change the fact that they're like watching paint dry. I'm from the UK and waited about 20 years for the BBFC to release Driller Killer - what a let down.

Personally I found Star Trek: The Motion Picture the best of the motion pictures as opposed to the more mainstream and considered best version, The Wrath of Khan (1982). Khan was more of an western-action thriller-soap opera with science fiction elements while the original movie had the hardcore elements of a real science fiction mystery-thriller, the traditional old classic eerie discovery/enlightment sci fi novel sensation of the sixties. The first Star Trek movie had the epic, massive world/universal awesome power tripping, mindboggling, insane, what it the hell is it experience as opposed the same old, same old plot with a few twists of Khan. The first movie held me on to my seat throughout the entire movie, I was fascinating by the truly unknown, bewildering scenes that sometimes made no sense, beyond human understanding, touching on the real essence science fiction nature at its best.

Several science fiction movies that really were hard to sit through included:


1967: Journey to the Center of Time
1968: Mission Mars
1979: The Black Hole
1980: The Day Time Ended
1980: Galaxina
1986: Maximum Overdrive
1986: The Wraith
1988: The Demonwarp

Yeah, all are free. Only a portion of their movies are available to view instantly, though. I watched Clash of the Titans last night. Loved that movie as a kid.

Pootie Tang.

absolute stinker.

for me, it's Epic Movie. really worst! i can't believe i wasted my time watching that film, expecting lots of laughs.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai was the only movie I can remember walking out of....truly horrible.

Soul Plane

my favirate is alias, no worst

Spice Girls...Spiceworld..whatever it was called

Worst movie I saw I'd have to say was not another teen movie. What an unpleasant movie. I laughed harder in Mars Attacks!!!

Martian Leader

The worst movie I ever watched is 'Langoliers' directed by Tom Holland, based on a Stephen King book. If you want to see something really bad, this is your movie. It's as bad, that you laughs all the time. Sometimes it seem like a stupid comedy but it is sci-fi film.

worst movie ever goes to Delta Farce with Larry the Cable Guy. I laughed exactly once. It failed on all levels and was so predictable and boring and unfunny it was almost unbearable. There are movies that aren't funny but have redeeming qualities but this was 99.9% crap. I'm never taking a chance on that guy ever again.

I can't say that I found Langoliers (1995) the worst movie I ever saw. As a television movie as opposed to theatrical movie, it had its moments. There was something off with Dean Stockwell's performance. Yet I found the plot and its delivery sufficiently eerie and creepy to keep in suspense.

You can't expect much from a movie based on a music group's adventures. It was funny and entertaining for such a limited plotline, it didn't aim for much more than that.

[I had to say something, I went through a Spice Girls phase. ]

I was over my brother's house 3 or 4 months ago and they threw on some movie with Jessica Simpson and that unfunny comedian guy whose name escapes me.

Thankfully I was drinking heavily that night, so the basic plot, if there was one, slips my mind. I know it had characters who worked in a retail setting and acting retarded. I just remember not laughing once and generally being pissed off at my brother and his wife for putting it on.

Roberto Benigni's Pinnochio = the oly movie I have ever walked out of.
