What movie do you wish you had NEVER seen?

[jimbo fett]

For me, it was "Terms of Endearment."

I hated that movie. I didn't like Debra what's-her-face's character. So I felt no sympathy for her when she got cancer and died. All she did was whine the whole movie. No wonder her husband cheated on her.

Plus I don't like Shirley MacLaine.

[reprehensor]

1. The Quest

Featuring Van Damme. What a Turkey.

[VelmaD]

2. Highlander 2

There should have been only 1.

That was 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back.

[Kamika]

45. Well you beat me to it

Highlander 2... *shivers*

[brainshrub]

100. Oh yeah, that did suck!

I had forgotten about that one. It's like a bad memory you try to forget.

[GOPisEvil]

2nd Batman movie.

:puke: At the theater...full price...

[MissMillie]

102. I concur whole-heartedly

That was a nasty movie

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. Titanic.

Three hours of mellow-drama and meaningless lust was.....well, lets put it this way: :puke:

[LynneSin]

16. Sign me up for that list!!!

:D

[St. Jarvitude]

56. It was so bad, I laughed at some parts

Everyone told me I was a terrible person for doing that, but jeez... talk about a movie that has ONE audience :eyes:

[Beaker]

91. ditto.

nothing was funnier than the morons who saw that POS 20, 30, 40 times...what fu#@&*g LOSERS.

[skypilot]

4. "The Trip"

Not the one from the sixties with Fonda. This is a gay-themed movie that was getting inexplicable rave reviews after showing at gay and lesbian film festivals around the country. Utter garbage. A giant leap backwards in gay filmmaking.

[RebelOne]

74. I sort of liked it. I saw it last week.

[judge_smales]

5. No one belives me about this- they always think im baiting them

but seriously- The Shining. It was the worst piece of shit I've ever seen. But it wasn't bad enough to be funny. Just a complete waste of time.

[skypilot]

8. Amen. A-f***ing-MEN.

I loathe that movie. A guy once tried to tell me that the "bloody elevator" scene was about "fear of menstruation". Yeah, right.

[jimbo fett]

11. I'm with you on that one. I just don't get it. Seemed sucky to me.

[RandomKoolzip]

6. Last Tango in Paris

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Saw it when I was in college, and thought it was one of the most unpleasant, poorly-acted, solipsistic two and 1/2 hours I've ever spent. Don't know why such an ugly, mean-spirited movie is held in such high regard....

[RobinA]

23. This Was My Pick

"Tango" came out to much hype when there was no chance of my seeing it at my tender age. I HAD to see it. I subsequently forgot about it until VCRs came out. That was my big chance, I was going to see the movie that invented sex. BOOOOORRRRRIIINNNGGGG. Marlon Brando sulking in French for what seemed like about 5 hours. It was TERRIBLE. Not at all sexy, especially since I kept falling asleep and having to rewind just to get through it. Talk about overrated.

[RandomKoolzip]

26. Yep, it's boring, then there's an anal rape scene.

Awesome. I pined for my money back after renting this POS.

[SmileyBoy]

34. "Pass the buttah..."

;););););););)

[Bundbuster]

64. You got it, RKZ

Brando in yet another exercise in meaningless self-indulgence. I walked out of the theater before intermission.

[bif]

7. La Chien Andelou

That razor balde slicing the eyeball open scene will be with me forever.

[Loonman]

9. Top Gun

A blatant commercial that also substitutes planes for penises.

The dialogue in that movie is vomit-inducing.

Even the "love scene" was totally lame.




I love well done military movies, but Top Gun was a suck-fest.

[devilgrrl]

62. Wasn't that movie an over-extended 'Pepsi-Lite' commercial...

or what?!!!! :eyes:

The soundtrack sucked too... Kenny Loggins... :puke:

[lazarus]

68. Hey, that's a classic

It's a perfect movie once you realise they're all gay.

[Beaker]

94. how long did it take you to realize that...?

(after all they're in the Navy)

was it the volleyball scene that tipped you off?

[lazarus]

122. heh heh

I was in the Air Force, we kinda knew it going in.

But yeah, if the locker room wasn't enough, that volleyball sequence just totally gave it away.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. The first two Jurassic Parks

I wasn't going to see the second one, but a friend of mine dragged me into the theater. He himself deeply regretted it later.

[carpediem]

12. Incubus

Saw it in high school and ever since I've been afraid to use public restrooms. There is a scene where she gets grabbed and dragged out of the bathroom under the door in a movie theatre bathroom. Whenever I use a public restroom, I look in all the stalls first to make sure noone is hiding in them. Besides it was a pretty bad movie.

[Gadave]

117. It had captain Kirk in it

Plus it was in esperanto or however that language is spelled. How can it be bad?

[terrya]

13. "Ghost"

Icky, completely manipulative movie. Even worse...I cried at the end. I knew I was being manipulated...but I cried anyway.

Terry

[Loonman]

14. Storytelling

Someone needs to tell Todd Solondz that when you do shock value strictly for shocks, it ain't shocking anymore.

"Happiness" was brilliant, but I could picture Solondz writing "Storytelling" thinking, "how can I make 'em squirm here?".

[fudge stripe cookays]

15. "If Lucy Fell"

Yes, I admit it. I paid $1 to see this piece of shit, and I was STILL gypped!

The main actor, Eric somebody, is BUTT UGLY and we're supposed to believe that he could date/do someone like Elle MacPherson. Right. And I have a male appendage.

Plus he was irritiating, Sarah Jessica Parker was irritating, Elle MacPherson was irritating. All I wanted at the time was some lightweight romantic fluff. Instead, I walked out. One of 2 movies in my entire life I've ever walked out of.

Gaaaaaaahhhh.

[Aristus]

17. Wild at Heart.

Man, I was YEARS getting over that! Awful film.

And I like David Lynch, for the most part.

[PrestoChango]

18. Solaris (n/t)

[RebelOne]

75. Definitely. I fell asleep in the middle of it.

[Throckmorton]

98. Solaris was sucky, but for me personally it had a message.

Don't remember people wrong. As my wife slowly looses her fight with cancer, I try hard to keep that in mind. Don't remember her as she has been the last 14 months, but how she was the preceding 14 years.

Its a good message, Even if it could have been delivered in 10 minutes.

[Mrs. Venation]

19. There Are Two

A Clockwork Orange -- I abhor violence and that movie made me want to vomit :grr:

and

Joe Versus the Volcano -- has to be one of the worst movies ever made

[Cannikin]

20. Anything with Kevin Costner (post Dances with Wolves)

[Love Bug]

36. "The Postman"

What a piece of crap. My friends talked me into seeing this overblown, manipulative, lame-attempt-to-prove-"Dances With Wolves"-was-not-a-fluke shite.

I also hated "Scooby-Doo." I only went to take my grandson, who liked it, but they owe me the 90 minutes of my life I wasted on that drek.

[NightTrain]

21. Kevin Costner's "Wyatt Earp"

What a long, boring, and (incidentally) historically inaccurate piece of crap that thing was!

[shanti]

22. the exorcist

still gives me the creeps...:scared:

[bubblesby2002]

28. I am so with you on that one

nt

[devilgrrl]

63. Oh, come on...

that was a great movie! :evilgrin:

[rockymountaindem]

24. Mars Attacks.

Was that supposed to be a spoof of 50's films or something, because it didn't work.

[Ediacara]

87. it was NOT meant to be serious

And I think the spoof was fantastic. I guess you have to be in the right mindset to watch the movie, and then you'll find it HILARIOUS :-)

[Beaker]

95. it worked for me...

i loved it.

[Endangered Specie]

104. One of the best spoof movies ever!

Very funny.

[sweetheart]

113. Gak Gak Gak Gak

ha! i love that film.!!!

[Gadave]

118. We come in peace.

[PVnRT]

25. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Worthless movie.

[RebelOne]

76. Nope. I disagree with you there.

I thought it was an excellent movie.

[Wickerman]

93. I was going to post that

couldn't stand it. Lack of development, both story and character. Inane special effects. Foreign movie for folks who don't like foreign (non-hollywood) movies. Want my money and time back 3 years later.

[Gadave]

119. I loved that movie

The movie has a sense of magic about it and originality. Its one of my favorite movies.

[xcentrik]

27. Two from Pacino... "Scent of a Woman" & "Devil's Advocate"

The acting in both was painfully hammy, yet praised to the skies for some reason. The scripts were both godawful, the nod going to "Advocate" for its thesis that defending accused criminals, rather than following the "They wouldn't be accused if they weren't guilty" line, literally constitutes serving the devil.

[MercutioATC]

29. "Mosquito Coast"

2 hours of pure hell.

The worst part is that, after an hour or so, I had time invested and invested more hoping for a payoff..

...two hours of my life I'll never get back.

[RebelOne]

79. The book was good, though.

Much, much better than the movie.

[SmileyBoy]

30. "Remember The Titans".

That movie was GARBAGE.

[bubblesby2002]

31. Love Story and Deer Hunter

Hated them both. Love Story made me puke:puke: and I can't get the scenes of Russian Roulette out of my head. Hated Christopher Walken for a long time too.

[MissMillie]

101. My boss was in love story.

He was a hockey player.

And yep, I can connect him to Kevin Bacon.

[Mobius]

32. The Reflecting Skin

Really Really Bad! Some sort of art attempt gone horribly wrong, it was so bad I felt compelled to watch it until the end, to see how much worse it could get, and it did. -infinity stars

[zanana]

33. Natural Born Killers

Violence for the hell of it.

[belladonna]

41. Hated it too

And my ex-husband just LOVED that movie, bought the damn thing and played it over and over and over :puke:

[LynneSin]

35. Chicago

To make matters worse I actually had BOUGHT the damn DVD before actually watching it.

I gave it to my nephew, he likes musicals.

The only reason that movie won any awards is because Miramax is a Publicity Juggernaut when it comes to promoting their movies AND Michael Douglas plopped down about a million dollars to help his wife win an Oscar.

:shrug:

[myrna minx]

37. The Avengers--

my Gawd that was a terrible movie. Finnes and Thurman had the chemistry of unleavened bread.

[Fleshdancer]

38. Eyes Wide Shut was a waste of a blockbuster trip. n/t

[bleedingheart]

39. The Unbearable Lightness of Being...(a movie)

god that was wretched..

it went on and on and on and on ....

[redqueen]

40. 8MM

*shudder*

[earthman dave]

42. "Meet the Feebles". On acid. Ouch.

The dirt, it won't wash off, help meeeeeeee...

[midnight armadillo]

108. that's a great film!!!

n/m

[earthman dave]

111. Great, but seriously disturbing. nt

[geniph]

43. Happiness and Breaking the Waves

I know everyone thinks both of these are genius. They both simply left me feeling horrendously depressed. I want my time back.

And I know everyone else in creation liked Pirates of the Caribbean. While I love Johnny Depp to distraction, the movie itself is just DUMB. I didn't think it was all that much better than that Geena Davis abomination, Cutthroat Island, just more expensive-looking. I thought it was predictable, boring, and just silly.

[Djinn]

46. Mee too on Beraking the Waves

along with anything else that twisted misogynist Von Trier produces. His story is that BTW is about "goodness" CRAP it was about being a servile missus and if you put yourself through shit (prostitution and getting beaten to death by sailors) you'll be redeemed - when the fucking bell chimed at the end I wanted to :puke:

apart from the crappy hand held nasea inducing camera work - since when is it "artificial" to be given a steady picture - don't know about anyone else but when I see things in real life they DONT jump around like that unless I happen to be on a boat - there was nothing or merit in the whole thing, violent mysogyny and suffering women for no other point to but to show them suffering, had the EXACT same film been made by Jerry Bruckheimer it would have been howled down for the steaming pile that it was

And by the look of Dogville - more of the same

[regnaD kciN]

115. Ahh...now I remembered my choice...

Dancer in the Dark

One of the most hopeless, depressing stories I've ever sat through. (I mean, how many times do you have to be told that life is horrible and that everything always works out for the absolute worst?) Plus, the handheld camerawork made Blair Witch look like a Best Cinematography candidate, Bjork's "music" was unlistenable, and her acting even worse.

[marigold20]

44. Ash Wednesday - Elizabeth Taylor

She has a face lift. the end.

[IronLionZion]

47. House of a 1000 corpses

just bloody awful. Robb Zombie's movie

[solinvictus]

66. I agee there...

"House" had no point at all.

[booradleyjr]

48. Halloween

First movie I ever walked out on.

[peaches2003]

49. A tie- English Patient and Braveheart

English Patient and Braveheart. Actually anything with Kristin Scott Thomas or Mel Gibson.

[Sapphocrat]

71. English Patient here...

...because the whole trying-to-get-back-to-the-cave-in-the-time thing made me feel... sick. Disturbed me more than Schindler's List, or the first scene of Saving Private Ryan.

I suppose there's some deep psychological meaning in that, but I don't think I want to know what it is.

[Faygo Kid]

97. Yup, "The English Patient." Also "Titanic" and "Gods and Generals"

Plenty more, unfortunately, but "The English Patient" rules them all. Yecch.

[VOX]

116. With you on the English Patient - didn't give a damn about the characters.

Live or die, I didn't find them appealing in any way. In fact, I thought they were rather self-absorbed and self-indulgent.

Blech.

[doubleplusgood]

50. Pink Flamingos

...with "The Visitor", a god-awful sci-fi,horror mish-mosh a close second

[Catherine Vincent]

51. "Irreversible"

Horrible scenes in this movie that will make you sick.

[ikojo]

52. Blair Witch II

I went with a friend (paid FULL price) who loved BW I. Again 90 minutes of my life I will never recover.

As we were leaving the theater she turned to me and said, "The next time I way lets go see anything with the words Blair Witch in it, flog me."

The absolute worse movie I have ever seen (and I saw Highlander II and thought is sucked big time.)

[Caution]

53. I am stunned no one mentioned what has got to be the worst

movie of all time. Armageddon. Oh my god what an unbelievable piece of utter cinematic horseshit. I actually lost IQ points watching it and am ashamed of myself for not getting up and leaving. I was honestly hoping they would fail in saving the planet because any planet that could create that piece of dung doesnt deserve saving.

[terrya]

80. "Armageddon" is a perfect example of what's wrong with big budget movies

Special effects....and nothing more. Cardboard, one dimensional characters...an idiotic story line...and some of the most ridiculous dialogue heard in a long time. This piece of dung is one reason I avoid Michael Bay's (the director) movies entirely. Stupid, boring twaddle.

I lost IQ points watching this pointless dreck, also. The absolute lowest point of this...Ben Affleck singing "I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane" to Liv Tyler. Oh, dear God, that was painful.

Terry

[fudge stripe cookays]

105. Armageddon taught me

to automatically avoid any movies directed by Michael Bay.

This one made me horribly nauseous trying to keep up with the really fast camera angles. Half the time you couldn't tell what was happening to whom because everything was so quick! What was the point?

I HATED Armageddon.

[MrBenchley]

54. Brigadoon

Why the hell this was a class assignment I have no idea...but in junior high I was subjected to this mess and had to sit through it with a teacher glaring at me.

Among other things, it's a remote village that has been cursed to only appear one day once every hundred years...so life goes on as it did in the 1700s...two fucking days ago....How the hell would they even know they'd been cut off after two days?.

Sometimes I fear I've fallen asleep and am dreaming this life, and somebody's going to nudge me and I'll wake up and they're still going to be doing the "Go home to Bonnie Jean" musical number...

[LSdemocrat]

55. Planet of the Apes remake

bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad

[Capn Sunshine]

57. The last ---ANY Keanu Reeves movie

including the Matrix.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

58. Dirty Dancing n/t

[POed_Ex_Repub]

59. Phantom Menace

I'm amazed I'm the first to list it!

[earthman dave]

81. I think we'd all succesfully wiped that from our memories

Thanks for reminding me. Not. :)

[Lostmessage]

60. Blair Witch

:puke:

[RebelOne]

77. I'm with you. The whole movie didn't make any sense to me.

[Ediacara]

89. I agree 100%

The movie is WORTHLESS. It's about stupid kids that don't know how to camp, and get freaked out by people shaking their tents and putting up stick-people in trees.

They can't read a map, or use a compass, and they can't seem to figure out that almost all of Maryland is settled enough that they just CAN'T get lost in the woods, it's IMPOSSIBLE.

And then they (aparently) die in a house.

I felt so jipped because 1) it wasn't scary AT ALL 2) the ending was totally anti-climatic and 3) the camera work (ok I know it was meant to be home movie-ish) was nausiating.

[Kosmos Mariner]

61. Gods and Generals!

:puke: :puke:

Worst movie ever.


:dem:

[Faygo Kid]

I liked "Gettysburg," but "Gods and Generals" was god-awful

And I really was excited about seeing it. How could they make such a terrible movie when they had such a compelling story to tell?

[MinnFats]

65. Point Break? or is it Break Point? Keanu R. AND Patrick Swayze!

at least i did not pay to see it in a theater.
i kept watching on cable to see if it could get any worse...and it never failed from scene to scene!

Keanu Reeves as an undercover FBI guy ... or some other L.E. agency....all the emotion he is capable of generating..."I...am gonna take you...DOWN!"



a masterpiece of badness. A badness of a quality rarely seen in cinema.

Two of the world's WORST actors as their WORST!

[solinvictus]

67. Underworld

A stupid rip-off of the "Vampire" role playing game.

[Mobius]

69. Henry, Portait of a Serial Killer

:puke:

[Rhiannon12866]

70. I agree. I hated that movie, for the same reasons that you did

I also hated "Forrest Gump." Sorry, Forrest Gump, but I really didn't get the attractions of either of those movies.:shrug:

[midnight armadillo]

109. read the book

It's a savage satire featuring a talking ape.

[Rhiannon12866]

110. Which one?

:shrug:

[Spirochete]

72. Cabin Fever

is the most recent one I regret watching. What it lacked in quality, though, it made up for in gross. hehe

[Iverson]

73. The Boogens

(retch)

[noonwitch]

78. The Ring-it was good, but it totally freaked me out.

I had dreams about that little girl/images from the video for a couple of nights after watching it. I know that that makes for a good horror movie, but it takes a lot for a movie to scare me. The last one that did is "The Shining", and that was only because I was 16 and with my boyfriend, so I wanted to be scared.

[TOhioLiberal]

82. Mine would be....

Starship Troopers. It was stupid, pointless and badly acted...Grrrr!

Star Trek V: Final Frontier was a waste of film also. William Shatner wrote and directed that P.O.S.

Trekkerlass

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

83. Ishtar. What a piece of crap!

[mac56]

84. Days Of Thunder.

Took my 10 year old nephew to see it. He dug it. I cringed from how bad it was.

[Hotler]

85. still have nightmares

Orca with Richard Harris. Gags me to this day.

[Ediacara]

86. Rob Schneider's "The Animal"

What a worthless waste of time!

[Esurientes]

88. "The Devils"

The only movie I've ever walked out on...

[fudge stripe cookays]

106. I'm with you.

I rented this years ago, and it was truly unpleasant.

[grannylib]

90. "The Omen" and sequels. Just makes me uncomfortable I guess, but

I don't think it's anything to make light of, and those movies scared the crap outta me.

[bobthedrummer]

92. "The Killer Shrews"

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Butterflies]

96. Hannibal

I wish I had never seen the last 10 minutes of that movie because I'll never get those images out of my memory. :-(

[brainshrub]

99. Lawnmover man II and Omega Code.

It was like someone was peeing in my eyes.

[Endangered Specie]

103. Pearl Harbor...

That movie is so historically inaccurate it is beyond insulting... It is a stupid basic love triangle movie, Jerry Springer material if you ask me.

Edit: spellcheck

[Monte Carlo]

107. Second.

The love triangle was so completely stupid and pointless. At most, it should have been a subplot, but no... it was the whole friggin' movie. The bombing was the subplot, which is why the movie sucked so bad.

The bombing sequence itself was good. If only it wasn't wasted on a Titanic-inspired screenplay.

[sweetheart]

112. new york new york

i shoulda walked out... early on.

[regnaD kciN]

114. Ah, yes..."Terms of Endurance"...

...as I called it at the time, since I barely forced myself to sit through the whole thing. The thing is that the mother and daughter really reminded me of an ex-girlfriend from several years back and her mother, and I found myself grinding my teeth at the way these two self-centered, "you and me against the world" whiners were presented as so sympathetic.

Now, I've seen a lot of films, and have many titles that would qualify for "something I wish I'd never seen," so I'm not singling this one out. However, I always thought it was, indeed, a tragedy...because only one of the two principals died at the end. For me, if that film had had a happy ending, they both would have kicked the bucket...and their little sex-monkey (Jack Nicholson), too!

[Gadave]

120. Leaving Las Vegas

None of the characters had any redeaming qualities. The most overrated movie of all time. The best moment was the leaving the Leaving Las Vegas Movie.

[Lindacooks]

121. Me too!

I thought that was a horrible movie - should be subtitled 'Death in a Cancer Ward'.
