What is the worst film you have ever seen?
I am tempted to say Kentucky Fried Movie, and whilst it is really bad, it does have one very funny sketch in it which redeems it.
I can remember (unfortunately) The Replacement Killers being quite awful.

In reply to Kate:
Saw some of Cliffhanger. It's got the bloke of "Third Rock from the Sun" in it, trying to be a baddy. Really could not be bothered to watch more than the 15 minutes I managed to suffer.

In reply to TDT: along with 1, 3, 4 and 5, 6, 7 to come

In reply to Ste Brom:
Is that a prequel to 8 heads in a duffel bag then?
Miami Vice is pretty dire. I am glad I only paid rental price for it, rather than buying it or going to the cinema...

In reply to brothersoulshine: Kill Bill 2 was even more of a piece of useless shit.

I'll have to take your word for it as I am sure that I will never bother finding out.

In reply to Kate: I'm assuming we're talking unintentionally bad?
Independance Day would be up there somewhere, however the sobriquet for Worst would have to go to Blair Witch Project

In reply to Kate: The Transporter, and The Transporter 2. Not really sure why I watched the second one, the first was bad enough.
In reply to Glyn Jones & TDT: The Harry Potter films are classic comedies.
In reply to Ste Brom: Never heard of that one.
In reply to Kate: Eraserhead. Strange, but not in a good way; more in a 'what a pile of steaming toss' way.

In reply to Kate:
Jeez I'm worried about you guys.
Eraserhead is brilliant, Transporter and The Replacement Killers are both a good beer drinking blast and The HP's are top wet sunday afternoon killers.
Now Love Actually that's a different story......

3 was crap though

I've been told this one is going to sweep the boards in the intellectual masturbation category this year: http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema_home_date.aspx?eventId=7biiur%40edbg
but I haven't bothered to go and see it myself.
The Double Life of Veronique left me plumbing the depths of boredom and despair after fifteen minutes.

Any/all Star Trek movies.
Ye Gods that's drek. Pure pablum.
Consistently an insult to intelligence.
But the bloke that played Number 1 in the second series is a nice fella. He wandered through a video/record shop I once worked in while the first telly series played on the monitors. Had a laugh and a long chat with all.

In reply to Kate:
Mostly anything that comes out of Hollywood or stars Hugh Grant.
4 Weddings and a funeral. If I have to see one more minute of that film there will be a funeral and a court case.
Hollywood films are (as Bill Hicks would have put it) 'Incubus demons in disguise that are sent to the earth to lower the tone of our collective unconscious.' (I paraphrase)

You are all lightweights w.r.t. bad films. At leas duz knows that Kentucky Fried Movie is good (well, it's passable)
Try Inseminoid from the late 70s, or Ultraviolet from 2006. Then you will know what "bad" is all about.
To put in context, 'The Transporter 2" is AMAZING compared to Ultraviolet.

In reply to Blue Straggler: had the misfortune to watch Ultraviolet at work last night.
I found it so shit I just ignored it and found some other work to do… It’s not remotely interesting has a non story and I would rather be working than watching it… However The last King of Scotland the night before was great.

In reply to Jamesclimb: Dead Poets Society.
In reply to Trangia:
That was actually better than I expected. That doesn't mean it was good, just less bad than feared...
Van Helsing was dreadful.
And X-men 3 as well.

Mel Gibson's an expert at rubbish films - I give you:
THE PATRIOT
and his masterwork of the genre:
BRAVEHEART
Take every cliche you can think of about William Wallace, mix together with and serve.

We watched the original 1934 "The Man Who Knew Too Much" the other night. It's an early Hitchcock film, with Peter Lorre and assorted others from that era. It was astonishingly bad in every way. The acting was atrocious, the script laughable, editing dire, plot risible... We did laugh quite a lot, so it wasn't an entirely wasted 75 minutes.

In reply to tony: Yeh, Hitchcock was very up and down wasn't he, moments of genius intermingled with things derisory.
In reply to Kate:
Kentucky fried movie was an excellent film, and... when it came out it was shown as a double feature with Phantasm at my local cinema. What a brilliant night out.
Gladiator was the biggest pile of shite I've ever seen.
Re: transporter; any movie that has a picture of the hero flying sidways whilst shooting is guaranteed to be bad. Transporter 2 has two heroes flying sideways so it must be twice as bad.

In reply to Kate: Izo by Miike Takashi was boring as hell. House of the dead, based on the arcade game was rubbish too.
And for most overated piece of pseudointellectual bs - The Matrix - why do people think it's cool - it isn't!

The trial of Alga Hiss
That film about Mitterand - well acted but devestatingly dull.
Recently I didn't find Borat that great

In reply to Kate:
Certainly not the worst film I've ever seen but my biggest dissappointment was A History of Violence. missed it at the cinema, but on the strength of the salivating reviews it got I ran out and bought it as soon as it came out on DVD. The first 2/3 were very good but then it just went totally Death Wish on me - complete pants! Really can't understand why it was so rated.

In reply to TN:
Wasn't it though?
Whatta turkey.
My lass who hates horror (she has a special place behind the couch for 'viewing' horror movies) saw it with a mate; both were pished and giggled through the entire thing.
And what gives with that Torquemada corset they've got her rigged in? Tighter than Ebeneezer's billfold.
Makes that big toochas of hers stand out a bookshelf; a feature downplayed in those vampire flicks.

In reply to: Kill Bill is brilliant, Kill Bill 2 was a little disapointing but still good.
I think anything with John wayne in it have to be the worst films, and other westerns like Shane are total crap as well

In reply to Removed User: I like Forest Gump.
In reply to Kate: Aexlander the great! Worst film in relation to money spent, quality of actors, original story line and the directors previous work. I was so annoyed that I bought this dvd. I was going to bury it in my garden but I found a greek that offered to take it off my hands.
In reply to Ackbar:
I think 'Jade' beats it on that front - Robert 'Chinatown' Towne screenplay, William 'The French Connection' Friedkin directing, a quality (if B-list) cast (David Caruso, Linda Fiorentino, Chazz Palmintieri), Robert 'The Godfather' Evans as producer....
Just awful.
Mind you it was a Joe Eszterhaus script...

In reply to Kate:
there is bad films and then there is shocker
serial killer, gets the electic chair, but his spirit goes into the electic supply, and he can possess people when they are doing things like boiling the ketle.
replacement killers in comparison is pretty fine

In reply to Kate: The Chronicles of Riddick. This ended up being thrown in the river in Chamonix. Legally Blonde 2 was buried in a hole in my friends garden, never to see the light of day again.
In reply to Kate:
The day after tomorrow, waste of a disc i say. How 5th avenue can get a 'supertanker' sailing down it and be -1000000 degress and wolves can still survive is a load of bollocks! Can't believe i actually satyed in the cinema and watched it

In reply to Kate: George Clooney in Solaris......utter shite
In reply to Kevin Livingstone: Pretty Woman. Nuff said.
In reply to Kate: Kentucky Fried Movie had some good bits. The Enter The Dragon piss-take was classic.
In reply to Kate:
kentucky fried movie is excelent! the enter the dragon spoof is fantastic.
IMO the worst film ever made was greese 2 followed by a little known british film called the knowledge which was about london cab drivers.

In reply to doz generale:
The Knowledge is a classic...isn't it? I watched it in about 1991, thought it was very good (ok a bit formulaic and predictable and whatnot, but I kind of think it was meant to be).
The famous Jack Rosenthal wrote it, and it has Nigel Hawthorne and Michael Elphick in it. I am going to watch it soon, picked up the VHS dirt cheap in a charity shop way back when.

In reply to Kate: 'dancer in the dark' despite Bjork being quite good in it by the end of the 17 hours or so of the film I was intermittantly weeping with frustration and (mentally) screaming 'hang the silly cow!!' - not a great date movie it has to be said
chocolate was unfeasibly boring as is anything by Ang Lee

In reply to Kate:
Mira Sorvino is a work of art in this film.
It's far more than passable as a film, no genre classic or anything but honestly, if this is one of the very worst you've seen then all I can say is "tread carefully", you have no idea what "bad" really is
