Yeah: for the amount of money that they spent making it they could have paid someone a couple of bucks to actually produce a plot.

My selection - "Star Wars".

Not just flamebait, but it heralded the start of Hollywood producing BIG DUMB MOVIES that just rehashed ideas from 1930s adventure serials and had nothing of any importance to say about the world we actually live in. Who wants ethical dilemmas or social critique or human emotion when you can have KEWL sword fights and big explosions?

If you don't mind, I'd like to add some rules...

1)NO FLAMING!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD!
2)Be respectful of others' beliefs; you don't have to agree, but you do have to be respectful


Ahem. I can't think of one 'worst movie,' so I'll name as many as I can think of. Mind you, they are in no particular order.

My Stepmother is an Alien, The Blair Witch Project, The Blair Witch Project 2, Scary Movie (haven't seen the sequels, though...don't have the stomach for it), Annie Hall, Platoon, Mississippi Burning, Repossessed, Cookie, Pet Sematary Too (yes, it's spelled that way), Hellbound: Hellraiser 2, all the Friday the 13 movies, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (bzzzzt! FLAME ALERT! FLAME ALERT!), Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, Spinal Tap, and many more I can't think of off the top of my head...

It is awesome if you like pantomime heroes and villains with cut and dried "good" and "evil" characters backed up by a nonsense gobbledy-gook of crypto-fascist spiritualist nonsense. It was the first step in the infantilisation of american movie production. You can watch Star Wars as a 6 year old and enjoy it and find it exciting for all the action scenes. You can watch it again when you are older and realise that that is all there was to it - it is a paper thin movie.

Hi.

I just saw the worst monie ever today. It was called: The Prince and Me.

Before I start I must informe you, that I am from Denmark. This is why i know all of this.

It is about the crown prince of Denmark, who falls in love this american women, which could happen (if you disregard his wife in real life, the crown princess, who comes from Australia) Well... Everything is wrong in this movie. There is a king (Denmark in real life doesn´t have a king but a queen)
The crown prince has a sister. (Not in real life. There he has a brother)
His name in the movie is Edward. (He is called Frederik in real life. In real life the crown prince is allways called either Fredrik or Christian. It has been so for 500 years!!!)
The queen speaks with a german accent. (What where the hell did this come from. The Queen is a real dane. Her ancesters were german though. For 600 years ago!!!)
The crown prince is a teenager. (He is 36 in real life.)
He is a spoil brat. Who never does anything (Our real life crown princes. Is a jægersoldat=marine, he walked across Greenland, parachutes, drive racingcars, and has a degree in civileconomics)

So this movie is just another Hollywood screw-up.

According to IMDB Clive Cussler has allowed for Sahara (which is another superb story, well all of his stuff is worth readin) to be made into a film. It's currently filming and suppose to come out some time next year.

Matthew McConaughey as Dirk Pitt and Steve Zahn as Al Giordino. I'm looking forward to it.

The worst movie I've ever seen must be Sense and Sensibility. I have little doubt that it was a good (or at least well-written) book, but it was about the worst movie in recent history. Even if you can get around the thick, overdrawn accents enough to understand what people are saying, it's dryer than Sedona in August.
Life as a House was awful, but it did its best to redeem itself in the last thirty seconds. Jurassic Park 3, what is there to say really? I think somebody owes me two hours of my life back.

I don't remember the source, but it ranked countries on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being the most corrupt, 10 being the least corrupt). Denmark was ranked 10. Canada was second or third least corrupt, at 9 point something. The U.S. was a 7.5 The most corrupt were Nigeria (first), Indonesia (second), and Russia (third).

But anyway, let's get back to worst movies...

I don’t know about the worst movies ever, but the worst movies that I have ever owned are Abraxas and Teenage Catgirls in Heat. The first one I was hoping was going to be really good because it has Jesse Ventura in it. The other one is just really really bad. It's not a porno, but it was a very low budget Troma film. Which is the only real reason why I bought it, but I was very disappointed in it. Sergeant Kabukiman NYPD was also very disappointing, but I wouldn't say it was horrible. The ending sucked, but I'd still say the ending was much better than that of Spiderman 2.

First of all, please give your buddy my regards. I deeply respect all vets, especially Vietnam vets. Second, I found the movie deeply offensive. It made it seem like all veterans were foul-mouthed hooligans, genocidal butchers, and mindless junkies...which most of them weren't. Granted, some committed atrocities, and more than a few had/have drug problems, but the vast majority of them do not match those stereotypes.

"Caddyshack" (I don't get it. People love this movie, but I think it has dated horribly. Rodney Dangerfield? No thanks!)

Well, up till the last 20 minutes when the aliens made an appearance. That film would have been so much better if Spielberg had just ended it with the kid watching the lady in blue.
The aliens at the end didn't ruin the movie in any way. Besides... the screenplay was by Kubrick! KUBRICK... come on...

Well, these are just opinions, so no harm can come of it, except for the person going to hunt down and eat a child or sibling. How does he plan to do it? What if he eats a sibling before you have children? Hopefully that doesn't mean he's gonna eat your child as well...
Worst Movie: Hmm...I dunno, I've been bored by alot of movies, but there is one in particular that my ex- made me watch, Gone with the Wind. Horrible movie, so damn long...about an hour after the intermission I was ready to get up and start screaming my head off.

Anyway on Star Wars, for being a rip off of Akira Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress, it was good, you know it was better in the action department, but without the two dumbasses calling eachother shit-worms, it was quite good. But no, lets replace the two irreplacable characters with two incoherent robots. Sure, a virtuous character kisses his sister and has erotic thoughts about her, but that was most likely alright with the hippies.

My question is, how can you take a decent movie, and...well, turn it into a movie which, like the wizard of oz, shows that the government is corrupt and that those who rise up against it will eventually suceed when a single man, supported by the others, changes the whole thing. My guess is, is that George Lucas replaced Richard Nixon with Darth Vader and Gerald Ford with Mark Hamill. I don't know when the movie was written, but they did a damn good interpretation or prediction of the us government. All we have today are movies that have no plot, and, not even trying to turn it into a good movie, disrespect the government.

Another movie I absolutely hated: The Passion of the Christ, why? Because, I was expecting to be moved by that film, a week before I saw it I went to a church thing, other people were going to take their agnostic, atheistic, demonic friends to see it, and after I did, I can only imagine how the agnostic. atheistic, and demonic friends of that guy were on the ride home, laughing at him I bet. After the star nearly got electricuted, it was a sign from god alright, one to stop making dumbass films that don't even represent anything that he stands for. That or he wanted Arnold Schwarzineggar to play the part of Jesus.

If you want to see a movie that is guarranteed to make you think about God, go see Saved!, sure it's a chick-flick, but come on, look past that and you'll see the hidden message, I'm sure christians and jews will be thoroughly offended, but Agnostics, Demonics, and Atheists will all agree that it shows how christians seek to gain respect, not for god, but for themselves. I can't count the number of conceited, sacreligious, and hypocritical Christians I have seen in my high school. I've met some good ones...if some had a definite number, it would be 4. No more, no less, just 4.

She said that it focused more on the tortures that Jesus had to go through rather than his actual moralistic teachings.

Allow me to answer that, they let their kids see this one because they think that it would influence their children in a good way, now unless your child is a god fearing, parent obeying, strict catholic ninny, who wears school girl panties, the only good influence your child would get would be ideas on how to torture you.

Actually, I heard a Bible scholer fellow say that he used a small part of the story and it implies things that aren't there.

Also, the Pilot change was a rather large departure for the "facts."

Pilot was never reluctant about killing people. In fact, he probably enjoyed it.

So it does imply an agenda.

It is interesting that some of the Conservative Religious front screams about facts with F9/11 and yet overlook the changes in the Passion.

The robots believe that the human being is a magical energy box which runs contrary to the laws of thermodynamics, and is able to give off more energy than the food that they fuel it with? The robots display initiative elsewhere throughout the film, so why did they never have the startling realisation that they could just cut out all the effort of keeping human beings alive and mainatining the facade of the matrix, and just set up a machine to convert the raw materials into energy directly?

You are assuming that I am assuming certain things that I am not assuming. I am well aware there are people who have attempted suicide without being goths or masochists. And I am not assuming that goths are driven to masochism and suicide. Where did I say that? All I said was I considered that a lot of goths were masochists and some have suicidal tendencies. Now "a lot" is relatively subjective so a lot in my mind can be anything that I cosnider a lot. It may not be a lot in the minds of other people. Perhaps a lot in my mind is still a minority, but I consider it "a lot" because it is a larger percentage than many other "refernce groups". I also did not make any conclusions about who was drawn to Goth culture and who was drawn to masochism.

the brokovich movie....erin I think...with julia roberts was horrible. Then again, outside of Ocean's 11, Julia Roberts doesn't do that many good things.

...He suspects nothing, I tell you - he has fallen for our cunning ruse. Gentlemen, we shall launch the nuclear missiles while his defences are down! We attack at dawn's first light...
Excellent. My plan is going as planned. This truce will give the necessary few hours to me to make my final adjustments on the doomsday device. When dawn strikes, the doomsday machine will release its awesome power of GLOBAL DEVASTATION.

Tremors 2
Tremors 3

No, no, no, no, no. All the Tremors movies that I’ve seen were great, as far as B movies go. Tremors the series on the other hand sucked.

Worst movie ever: Not Another Teen Movie. It is horrible. Absolutely unbearably horrible.
