The BAD! Movie List

[RAV TUX]

We have all seen the The GOOD movie list (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=464302) inspired from this thread Anybody see any good movies at the Theater lately? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=462561)

This thread is the BAD! Movie list, a list of movies that you advise not to waste your money on, main stream, independent, renters, etc.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is:

1. "300"

(if any body else can add to the BAD movie list fire away)

[starcraft.man]

Cat in the Hat *shudders at the name*

Oh, and Final Fantasy Spirits Within. That, was such a BOMB! I feel so sad, thats really what caused so many problems for Square... they should have never made it. Ever!

[Adamant1988]

Snakes on a plane:

This movie is so terrible that it's doomed to be a cult classic. I own it, and I've even watched it a few times, but I could only recommend it to people with a serious excess of cash and nothing better to do.

[RAV TUX]

Silence of Lambs,....I seriously wanted a refund, walked out on the movie instead of sitting through anymore of the torture.

[yabbadabbadont]

Battlefield Earth

I, and six of my friends, did get up and walk out of that stinker.

[ynnhoj]

rock'n'roll high school (imdb (http://imdb.com/title/tt0079813/); wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_N_Roll_High_School))
batman (1966) (imdb (http://imdb.com/title/tt0060153/); wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_%281966_film%29))

don't get me wrong: i own and enjoy both of those movies (:o) but they really are very bad. so bad that they're good, imo.

[RAV TUX]

The Wind and The Lion, Sean Connery plays the last desert arab pirate in Morroco, I actually used to think this was one of my favorite movies as a child. I waiting years for it to come out on DVD, then when I finally got it I realized how terribly it is.

[Kingsley]

Speaking of bad movies, take a look at this:

Thanks but I am looking for un-recommendations from trusted Ubuntu users not some random wikipedia article.

[yabbadabbadont]

Exorcist 3

OK, it was funny, but it wasn't intentional on their part.

[RAV TUX]

Shaun of the Dead

Dogma

both equally as painful

[RedSquirrel]

Crimson Tide and Waterworld off the top of my head.

[fuscia]

ichi, the killer, aside from a pretty girl, was laughable.

[saulgoode]

Scooby-doo. How could they screw up something so simple so badly? I am guessing the sequel was equally horrendous but I shan't be bothering to resolve that.

[yabbadabbadont]

Shaun of the Dead

Dogma


Two of my favorites.... :p :D

[RAV TUX]

A Scanner Darkly (http://www.philipkdick.com/films_scanner.html)

Took me three weeks to finish this movie, I guess I haven't done enough drugs to enjoy this movie.

[RAV TUX]

Groundhog Day

[YoungCthulhu]

Neuromancer (Nothing like the book, pathetic)
Vigil (NZ film, like LOTRings, only painfully embarassing, unlike LOTR)

[yabbadabbadont]

Groundhog Day

Another of my favorites.... Damn Rav, I don't think that we should ever try to see the same movie. :lol:

(or maybe you can give me a complete list of the movies you hate so that I can see if there are any I missed ;))

LOL...and you could give me a list of movies you love so I would know not to watch them....LOL

Groundhog Day?....you seriously liked it?

[yabbadabbadont]

Mostly for the secondary characters. Of course, seeing Bill Murry die over and over and over was a plus. :twisted:

[antenna]

Lost In Translation
Miss Congeniality 2 (Oh dear..)
Date Movie

(Someone said Shaun Of The Dead? Crazy)

[Enalia]

Santa Clause versus the Martians


easily worse than all of the movies mentioned!!

[odiseo77]

All the Freddy Krueger saga :p I mean, they're supposed to be horror movies but in fact they make me laugh (and I don't mean laugh well, but laugh ironically)... besides this type of horror movies are really bad (I prefer films like The Ring, or Sixth Sense when it comes to mystery movies... plain horror movies are so boring).

The list could go on endlessly but I'd say another horror-like movie Dirty Dancing :D

[runningwithscissors]

Being John Malkovich (I think I died of boredom while watching that)
Forrest Gump

[RAV TUX]

Being John Malkovich (I think I died of boredom while watching that)
Forrest Gump

That reminds me one of the all time worst:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind

pretty lame

[slimdog360]

Silence of Lambs,....I seriously wanted a refund, walked out on the movie instead of sitting through anymore of the torture.

WHAT, I loved it and the others (red dragon and hannibal).

[Ripfox]

Man, you did not just put Shaun Of The Dead on this list...best movie ever!

btw I thought 300 was good too :shock:

[Lux Perpetua]

RAV TUX, I actually really like many of the movies you've named. Did you like Shooter by any chance? Because I hated it. :D

[neoflight]

1. Speed 2.

(in speed 1 all i can remember now is " are you ok, are you ok, are you ok, are you ok, by sandra bulldog ;))

2. steven seagal movies

3. what pisses me off is Van Damme "acting"... when he is crying the crowd is laughing..!!!

4. all adam sandler and vin diesel movies

[Sir Nose]

The ninja films of Hong Kong based auteur Godfrey Ho, made by splicing together unknown asian B-movies from all kinds of genres - crime thrillers, family dramas, ghost stories - with new ninja footage. Art for the generations.

[Bigbluecat]

Shaun of the Dead

Dogma

Sorry but I really like Dogma.

Batman & Robin - what a stinker

[afljafa]

Starship Troopers. They actually did a sequel that I turned off 5 minutes in.

[Spr0k3t]

Wow RAV... Shawn of the Dead? Dogma? Groundhog Day? I just don't understand.

My worst of the big name movies:
Bubble Boy
Starship Troopers 2
Anything by Vin Diesel (even before it's released)
Cat in the Hat (they ruined my love for that book)
Any movie made by Disney that is not intended for the box office but rather direct to video releases.
Ishtar
Toys (the one with Robin Williams)
Highlander 2
Garfield 1&2

[Iceni]

A.I - it was so boring I could not finish it.
Soldier - Horrible, horrible movie.
Stealth - They took Team America and made a serious movie out of it. WHY?

[steven8]

Any Keanu Reeves
Any Van Damme
Any Seagal
Any Vin Diesel
Any Jim Carey

[afljafa]

Any Keanu Reeves
Any Van Damme
Any Seagal
Any Vin Diesel
Any Jim Carey

Matrix?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

The rest pretty much agreed although Pitch Black was pretty good and had Vin Diesel in it - so was Saving private Ryan.

any.

[Nonno Bassotto]

Runaway bride
My best friend's wedding
Ocean's eleven

just to start....

[urukrama]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I once saw part of one of the later ones (3 or 4?). Painful.

[Stew2]

Probably the worst movie I have ever seen would have to be "Wolfen Ninja". It was so phony, cheesy and corny that I had to shut it off after about 10 minutes. My wife had picked the movie and to this day when we see a bad movie we still say "Wolfen Ninja was worse!" :popcorn:

[mediax]

Phantasm

Anyone else unlucky enough to have seen (and worse, remember) that particular film has my sincere sympathy! :popcorn:

[machoo02]

The thing that I love about threads like this one is that it completely validates the saying "There's no accounting for taste." At least half of the movies that Rav has posted are ones that I've thoroughly enjoyed.

I guess it's time for my contribution.....Phantoms (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119891/). My friend made me watch this about 6-7 years ago, and when it was over I nearly punched him in the face for making me sit throught that 90 minute steaming pile....


PS...Antenna, nice avatar pic. love the album.

[Footissimo]

Had to laugh some of Rav Tux's choices as a few of them are some of my favorite films - if you stick his choices in Rotten Tomatoes then it gets 81%! Gotta feeling that not many people will be agreeing with his choices.

Worst film for me recently was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, truely awful...so much gore, so little interest.

[Eddie Wilson]

Saw
Saw 2
Saw3

[mech7]

these are all kick *** movies that you mention.. i know this one is going to be bad:

http://www.theasylum.cc/cgi-bin/showMovie.cgi?id=128

[Lord Illidan]

No way Matrix can be on the BAD list..I loved it, full of philosophy if you look at it right. Reloaded wasn't that good, but Revolutions revved it up.

My contribution : Norbit. The most goddamn awful "comedy" I ever saw.

[Hells_Dark]

looool,
I love Shaun Of The Dead, I love 300, I love the verhoven Starship Trooper... i love..
I should come back on this topic soon, i could find some awesome movies i don't know xD

[odiseo77]

The day after Tomorrow (or whatever it's named in english).
X-Men

(I had to watch these two movies because I was hanging out with friends and they decided to watch them :-? but I often hate these Hollywood-Best-Seller movies)

[RAV TUX]

Any Keanu Reeves


I agree with any Keanu Reeves movies especially all three of the Matrix movies but NOT Bram Stoker's Dracula.


Matrix?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

The rest pretty much agreed although Pitch Black was pretty good and had Vin Diesel in it - so was Saving private Ryan.

affirmative to all 3 Matrix movies belong on the BAD! movie list along with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

[RedSquirrel]

Reeves wasn't really great in The Devil's Advocate either, but I enjoyed watching Al Pacino. ;)

[RAV TUX]

Reeves wasn't really great in The Devil's Advocate either, but I enjoyed watching Al Pacino. ;)

I honestly don't know how Keanu Reeves ever got a job as an actor?

[Somenoob]

Neuromancer (Nothing like the book, pathetic)
Vigil (NZ film, like LOTRings, only painfully embarassing, unlike LOTR)

What? they made a film adoption to Neuromancer? where?

[ticopelp]

Huh. I have to say I almost completely disagree with your taste in movies, Rav.

[RAV TUX]

Huh. I have to say I almost completely disagree with your taste in movies, Rav.

or atleast disagree with the ones I don't like. ;)

I can't argue with most of your positive picks.

Silence of the Lambs is a great movie, though -- I think, anyway. Shaun of the Dead is very entertaining. I thought Scanner Darkly was very inventive, though it's certainly not everybody's cup of tea. I also quite liked Eternal Sunshine -- again, I can understand that not appealing to everyone, but I certainly think it's a long way from "the worst."

Some of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory:

Alone in the Dark
Amityville Horror (remake)
Blade Trinity
Bloodrayne
Darkness Falls
The Day After Tomorrow
Fear Dot Com
House of the Dead
Identity
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Men in Black II
Phantoms
Psycho (remake)
Volcano
White Noise

here is my updated list but not complete:


Heres a list of good movies I have seen:

Batman Begins
Blade II
The illusionist
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Pirates of the caribbean I & III
The Matrix I, II, & III (makes both my worst and best list)
Phantom of the Opera
Deja Vu
Minority Report
Pulp Fiction
Acid House
12 Monkeys
The Gods must be Crazy II
James and The Giant Peach
Edward Scissorhands
The Nightmare before Christmas
Life is Beautiful
Underworld Evolution

[ticopelp]

Underworld Evolution? Wow, no. I didn't think it was possible to make a storyline of "vampires vs. werewolves" boring, but somehow they managed.

I agree with the rest of your list, though. There are a few I haven't seen, and I thought Minority Report was average and the Matrix sequels were pretty dismal.

[RAV TUX]

The Gods must be Crazy II is hilarious!....allthough some would say they like the first movie better

I added two more to the good list:

(Mel Brooks is awesome)

[ticopelp]

You can't go wrong with Mel Brooks.

I haven't seen either of the Gods Must Be Crazy movies.

[RAV TUX]

I haven't seen either of the Gods Must Be Crazy movies.

They were surprise hits filmed by an African producer, shot on location in Africa.

[afljafa]

Nah - the first Matrix was a great original movie. The Gift was another movie with Keanu which was also a good movie.

Truman show with Carey.

[machoo02]

King Cobra (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138797/) - poorly written excuse for a film about a 30 foot king cobra/diamondback rattlesnake hybrid terrorizing a town during a beerfest. The only highlight of this is Pat Morita (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001552/) as a herpetologist, and his utterly priceless fight to the death with the snake at the end of the movie.

I caught this one Sunday afternoon on a TV station when I was living in Southern California. I came into it about 10 minutes after it started, and I decided to watch it until a commercial came on - figuring that they would say the name of the film and I could move on with my life. Unfortunately for my eyeballs...the name of the film was never mentioned, and I sat through the whole thing.

[RAV TUX]

Any movie with Paris Hilton in it.

[arsenic23]

Soldier
Dogma
Shaun of the Dead
Waterworld
Adam Sandler movies
Matrix ( Original )
????

Even if you don't like these fills they don't belong on a list of worst movies. tsk tsk

------------------------------------------------
Also no one has mentoined Tomb Raider! When I rate a movie I rate it on a scale of Tomb Raider too Shawshank. Tomb Raider is the worst movie ever(.)

Other horrible movies include
Twister
The Day after Tomorrow
Armagedon
or any other movie that can be summed up as "Oh my god it's nature!! Run!!!"

Also,
The Second StarWars prequal
Erigon
All of the main Disney cartoons since The Litle Mermaid/Aladin
Any James Bond movie without Sean Connery

[YoungCthulhu]

Sorry Somenoob, got the film name wrong!! Neuromancer was released as Johnny Mneumonic. D'Oh!!

[azkehmm]

Well... two really, really bad movies I've seen lately is:

Epic Movie

and

Ghost Rider

Both are crap and i really regret spending money on the ticket.

Another really bad movie is "Hawk, the slayer." A fantasy B-movie from the 80ies.

[Tux Aubrey]

National Lampoon's...... (anything really)

Chick flics generally

Anything with Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler and most things with Jim Carey (EXCEPT Eternal Sunshine...!)

[djsroknrol]

It's so bad I couldn't go past the first hour. I just skipped to the ending.
