Thread: What is the worst movie(s) you've seen?

About 90% of the movies made are so unrealistic that it's not even funny.

Star Wars is great.

Dude Where's My Car was a funny as crap movie if you like the stupid humor stuff (which I do )

My vote for worst movie would be a movie called 'Bats'. I lost a few IQ points after watching about half of it.

With the frequency that thee wife can watch the following, I'd have to say:

Homicidal: Dirty Dancing, Hairspray

Suicidal: The sound of Music

> Behind Enemy Lines however, what a pile of garbage, especially the ending!!

I still don't get how that's a war movie. It's an action movie with a war backdrop. The Sound of Music happens during a war - does that make it a war movie, too?

interesting. I work 8:30-5:30 5 days a week, commuting takes an hour or so of my day away from me. I think that's enough real world for me. If I want reality I can walk outside. A movie is an escape from reality.

I second "the glass house". No story, no shock, no suspense, terrible.

But it's got Leelee Sobieski!

With you on the American movie's distorted view of war, but I thought that Black Hawk Down was one of the better representations and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Black Hawk Down glorifies the American soldiers, while the Somalis is pictured as war-loving, incompetent and stupid people, living in herds countering bullets by throwing rocks.

Black Hawk Down is not abysmally bad as a movie (2/5) but what really scares me is people (including Scott himself) saying that BHD is very realistic, or even documentary.

Btw, here are many bad movies:

Second that, great stuff.



Worst movie ever ?

Fire on the Amazon.

I'm a big Sandra Bullock Fan and this was the only one I did not know. I should have left it at that. Sandra has a nude scene there. Looks great, but still I wish I never heard of it. It's so stereotypical, it's absurd. I can't even begin to describe how bad it is.

> Sandra has a nude scene there

SOLD!

I've never heard anything else about it - you have proof that's not the way things actually happened?

True, realism is a complex term; I do not doubt that the guns, choppers and environment is realistic, for example.
But the quotes and behaviour of the americans contra the somalis is another matter:

"We don't want your american democracy, we like war down here" (paraphrased)

I have written an analysis of this subject for Växjö University, so I'm not completly writing of the top of my head, but I admit that it is a very complex question. Unfortunaly it's written in Swedish.

But realistic -- no. Just look at the the two clowns in the middle of the movie (the hearing impaired and the other). WTF is that?

And why do the americans shoot so much better than the somalis all the time?

Have you seen The birth of a nation? The crashed helicopter scene reminds much of the mulatto's men storming the small cottage. Enough said.

The latest one was Jason X.. oh god *shutters*

There was one a long time ago that I watched, I can't remember the name, the plot was actually a pinyata coming alive and killing people.

I've seen too many of those... I Accuse My Parents, Manos, etc... Thank you, Mystery Science Theater!

I think some of the things added to BHD were added solely for entertainment (like the deaf guy... I agree with you there - wtf?). When you look at the numbers, though - how many dead on both sides? Like less than 20 Americans and about 1000 Somalis? It's pretty clear to me who shot better - the guys in the move are Delta Force and Army Rangers - that's the best of the best, there. They sure better shoot better than some somali civilian or militia member.

> The crashed helicopter scene

But that's what happened. IIRC, they actually did parade the guy's stripped body through the streets.
