Dune (YUK!!!)
and anything with Jean Claude Van Damne
End Quote

The main problem with Dune was that you needed to have read the book a dozen times to understand the film...

...and I thought Timecop was a good film.

Bad ones I have seen?  None that I can think of recently.  I'd heard bad things of Cats and Dogs, but finally saw it after my son was given the video - any film that contains the line "Evil does not wear a bonnet" can't be all bad ;-)

Maximum Overdrive. Great soundtrack, shame about the movie. Absolute zero plausibility.

When you get right down to it, how plausible are any of the movies made from King books?

I thought Misery was quite disturbing. Not really plausible, but enough to get some kind of gut reaction, unlike Maximum Overdrive

Ok, just as long as you base your dislike on something other than plausibility! I f all implausible movies had to be put on a worst list, there wouldn't be many left for the good!  :D

I never read the book, but I liked the film. As for David Lynch's more bizarre work, how about Eraserhead? I expected a lot but I was really disappointed with that one.

OMG...I didn't even read the whole thread when I replied...how hilarious!  I guess great minds think alike....and Eraserhead did bite!

I am just trying to play catch-up...that will teach me to reply without reading everything, won't it? ;)

Now, as far as just plain bad movies (crap I wouldn't recommend to anyone). Here's a sampler:

American Beauty
The Psycho remake
Lolita (the Stanley Kubrick piece of ____)
...just to name a few

Tarzan Boy

That's funny, American Beauty and Lolita top my list of favs.  I also love the b&w version of Psycho - absolutely timeless.

The worst movie I've recently seen is AI (Artificial Intelligence).  It was absolutely revolting, depressing, yuck!  I didn't like one aspect of the movie which is odd because I usually try to find at least one bit o' goodness in every movie.  The teddy bear was cute, though.  

I didn't care much for Armegeddon either.  

I can't think of anymore right now, but I'll be sure to let ya know if I do.  ;)

Can't think of any bad movies I hated offhand, but then I don't see many movies. So why did I respond to this thread, you may ask? Because if I can just spend ten more minutes here it will be too late to go to the gym today.

That's what you get from a movie with Kenan and Kel!

Why do American filmmakers feel they have to trash foreign films when they remake them?

Tell me about it! What was that puke-inspiring rendition of "La Femme Nikita" they did starring Bridget Fonda? Pain. Agony. White lights.

"Clerks"....an independent movie made back in 95-96..talk about a BAD movie...
End Quote

I'm not a big fan of Clerks either, but it was the start of a bunch of movies I liked: Mallrats, Chasing Amy, that Jesus one which name escapes me, and Jay and Silent Bob strike back (wait these are considered bad movies that I like).

Quoting:
There is, I'll admit, a difference between a bad movie and a movie I don't like. For instance, both "Forrest Gump" and "Vany on 42nd Street" made me see red I hated them so much, and yet they were good movies. I just hated them.

At the same time, I'm sure "Charlie's Angels" and "So I Married an Axe Murderer" are technically "bad" movies. I liked them both.

Actually this is what I wanted the thread to be about, I just couldn't explain it that well.

Ladies and gentlemen, mark your calendars! Screwball and Langdon are of one mind!

One bad movie (because it is so blatantly derivative) that I liked was Aliens 2½, er, I mean Event Horizon.  ;)
End Quote

I hate any movie where people are stuck in an enclosed area and have to fight an animal/alien/monster, all those movies suck in my book.
