OK for fun - some of the worst movies you've seen.

[string1399]

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the movie). Just horrible.

[Dirk Hofman]

When I was a kid, my parents and a couple of my Dad's colleagues took us to see a war movie, which they thought would be relatively innocuous. Took us to see "Cross of Iron". I don't know if it's a bad movie, but watching that was one of the most uncomfortable movie moments of my and my parents' lives. Just incredibly, unnecessarily violent and gory. No idea what the point of such a film would be. At one point it got over the top and we left.

It was the second in a double feature with "Play Misty for Me" which was incredibly good.

I can't imagine sitting through a double feature at the movies anymore. Times they do change...

But at the risk of stirring flames
Of some the bigger hits
Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs both come to mind. For me too realistic to be fiction, too bizarre to real... .... I realize Pulp has a strong cult following but for me personally Meh !!

Wow, wow, wow! Pulp Fiction is in my top 10 all time for sure!

"The Saddest Music in the World" by far.

Distant second is "Swiss Army Man"

Another bad one, that should have been good, was Dune. Thankfully the remake looks good in the trailer.

A major flop in my eyes was the first Star Trek movie. Good thing Star Trek II - The Wrath of Kahn was really good or that could have been it for the Star Trek movies.

The original Laura Croft, Tomb Raider and Inspector Gadget. The only two movies I've ever walked out on...though both the original Dune and Star Ship Troopers came close.

I’m glad a few others have mentioned Pulp fiction, I had heard people rave about it and when I finally watched it, meh.

Then there was The Island (pretty sure that’s the title) with Leonardo DiCaprio, it was so awful I think I actually got mad while watching it.

I kind of liked the first Paul blart mall cop movie, but the sequel was just a weird, self indulgent piece of crap for Kevin James and his buddies.

The absolute worst movie I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing was don’t mess with Zohan, or whatever the stupid title was to that mess of a “movie”. Fortunately, it was the second film on a double bill at the drive in, and we packed up and left about 15 minutes into it. Just awful.

Avatar. Nothing else is even close to such unremitting awfulness--except probably Pulp Fiction.

[frankmcr]

Zardoz is terrible, but Ishtar is even worse.

Illustrates my point about sci-fi - we really all do have differing opinions.

Agree with on this. Another fine example of how the sequel was better than the original is Rocky II - I haven't met anyone who doesn't think Rocky II is the best of the lot.

I always assumed that Starship Troopers was a spoof on SF humans vs evil insectoid alien movies, but it also had a message about militarism I thought.

[QUOTE=Brucebubs;6506278]Check this out.
Is it a scene from a new Star Wars movie?

I don’t like Tarantino because of the way he trivializes violence. I generally don’t like to see violence, but it depends on how it’s presented. A History of Violence, for example, is one of my favorite films, and I like similarly violent films just fine. The difference is that Tarantino tends to present those kinds of scenes as something that’s supposed to be cool and funny.

That said, I don’t think he’s a bad director and, in particular, I don’t think Pulp Fiction is a bad film. I just don’t like some parts of it. For example, the whole bit where Marsellus gets raped and then gets his revenge is just stupid.

I have a few friends that are the same .

Ultimately diversity of appreciation in film, like music, in the long run is good thing and serves to progress the art form.

But ya I have tried to watch it 3 or 4 times and found the paradox and juxtaposition of reality vs fiction for me works to drain the interest level so as to render it unremarkable enough that can't even remember If I have made it all the through or not.

[hubcapsc]

I really like a lot of Clint Eastwood movies. But not the three spaghetti westerns.
I've seen parts of them, but never watched any one of them all the way through.
They seem so pointless... except for this part...
