I've never even seen Watchers 1 and 2 Fred, so I can't comment.

I will say however that "Being Human" with Robin Williams (who I otherwise enjoy) was the worst film I've ever seen. Closely followed by "The Runaway Bride" with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, which even my wife turned off after 30 minutes.

I've never seen Watchers 1 and 2 either, I think it's one of those movies that went straight to video, and completly bipassed the theatre.  ::) :( :P

Oh, and how could I forget the Disney cartoon adaptations of all those fairy tales? It's kind of funny how they're always watered down to make them suitable for children:

The Little Mermaid
Disney version: Mermaid meets prince, lives happily ever after.
Original version: Mermaid kills herself to save the prince.

Sleeping Beauty
Disney version: The prince wakes up Sleeping Beauty by kissing her.
Original version: The prince has sex with her while she is asleep and she later gives birth to twins. One of the twins sucks the drop of poison out of her finger and THEN she wakes up.

You name it, they toned it down. Fairy tales were really quite horrible when they were first written. But I still think that if you're going to do a film version of something, either do the original or don't do it at all.
Though having said that, Minority Report was nothing like the book, but still a great film. Oh dear, contradicted meself. Ah well. Forget I said anything.

Well today I sat and cried (yet again) through "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" - how can anyone hate that movie?  In fact my daughter watched it too and said that she had had to watch it for religion at school.  Johnny Depp was just wonderful and old Leonardo does a great intellectually challanged person.  I suppose different strokes for different folks. :)

I love that movie too (and forgot it was on today - wish I had taped it!) and I always cry when I watch it - but I cry in nearly every movie I watch.  I think Johnny Depp is a babe.  Went and saw that pirate movie hes in and I thought he was hot!!

Quoting:
There are too many awful movies to just list one. :P ;D

I'll list some of the ones off the top of my head which are excellent candidates for the title:

Howard The Duck
Drop Dead Fred
Grease 2
Wild Wild West
Lost In Space
Godzilla (1998)

I have to call you out on all of these except Grease 2. And I thought "Date With An Angel" was a worse Phoebe Cates movie than "DDF". I didn't see "Lost In Space", but then again I didn't see "Gigli" or "From Justin To Kelly" either.

End Quote

To each their own, but I'm very proud to say I didn't even entertain the thought of watching "Gigli" or "From Justin To Kelly" either. ;D

I'll also add "Eyes Wide Shut" to the list. :P

Right you are, jaytee....IMHO, of course ;)

Most movies are crap, very few I choose to sit through and one that I and even my 3 friends walked out on was LA Story w/ Steve Martin.  Just didn't get it, nor wanted to.  Recently my wife and I rented and had to shut down within 45 minutes was Punch Drunk Love.  I was really dissapointed cause I thought it was going to be a "smart" Adam Sandler flick but it was nothing more than slow and boring.  A love "character" movies but they have to at least be somewhat interesting.

Wow, i reallt truely disagree with you two, Race and INdy......Punch Drunk Love was an amazing movie....it was a black comedy that showed Adam Sandler like he had never been before..it was an intellegent movie, but I guess you needed to see the whole thing to understand that...I agree with you on one thing though, it was slightly slow at the begining...and the end....the middle was paced well......it was very funny though



LA Story is my second favorite Steve Martin Movie...I love that one...I think it is hilarious as well...its his parody of LA life......it is an aquired taste though...just like Punch Drunk Love, its not like anything the aritst did before hand....(well, unless you consider Roxanne a stepping stone for this)....


also, Hannah,  you say you didnt laugh during YOung Frankenstien?   Did you watch the Blind man scene? lol
End Quote

Roxanne is one of my all time favorites, I really like Steve Martin.  Did you see the Spanish Prisoner?  That one was interesting and with a definate "twist".  Maybe I could have liked Punch Drunk Love if I had given it more of a chance but just couldn't see a reason to finish it.

I was forced to watch Young Frankenstein in its entirety during Film Lit. class in high school.  I was not impressed.

Three words: The Pokémon Movie.

My little sister dragged me there when she was going through the mandatory Pokémon phase. I couldn't even fall asleep during that because some six-year-old was kicking me in the back. So I just turned round and did my best Rhydon impression. I think it was a little too scary, even for him- but he stopped kicking me. 8)
