I hated, hated, HATED this movie!

[Bookcat]

My least favorite movies that I can remember right now:



-Simply Irresistable

-Saturday Night Fever

-Igby Goes Down

-The Pajama Game

-The Rules of Attraction



I forget everything else I hated, but I know they exist.

I love bad movies. Especially bad horror films from the 70s and early 80s. (Female Plasma Suckers, Gates of Hell, The Toolbox Murders, Satan's Cheerleaders, Motel Hell, etc.)

---

Ah but those are bad movies that are meant to be bad, they have no pretentions about being good, they are shit and you know it going into it. I can enjoy those movies.



I usually know what movies I won't like and I avoid them altogether unless I feel like making fun of it. Recently I was caught off guard by a movie that is now very high up on my hack and barf list. I mentioned it in the movie recommendation thread already because I wanted to unrecommend it and I was wishing for a thread like this (thanks WebWarlock ). I'm talking about "There is Something About Mary". I love Cameron Diaz, but I was absolutely disgusted by this movie. It was vile. It was unfunny and it was a complete waste of Cameron Diaz and of 90 minutes of my life.

ok the movie I hated more than anything....the movie that I not only wanted my money back....but also my 3 hours back.....Eyes Wide Shut! I kept begging my friends to just get up and leave. But Jenny kept saying

"it's got to get better". too bad she was wrong.

I normally take great pains to avoid bad movies; heck, I rarely DO go to the theatre or rent a movie unless I really have something specific in mind.



Well, flash back to 1994. My cousin is in town and decides to treat me to a movie; there was one I wanted to see, but by the time we get there, it's sold out. Something called North is also playing; we take a chance.



Very bad choice. Though it was only 87 minutes, I'll never have them back. Rob Reiner directedan all-star cast in the WORST story idea ever conceived.



I won't bother summarizing; just don't ever see it. EVER.

I really disliked The Gods Must Be Crazy. It's the only movie I've ever walked out of. The idea of these people worshiping a Coke bottle was just beyond me.

[samiamiguess]

Ok, I know a lot of people loved it but apart from the last 20 minutes which meant I sat through the other 2 hours of sheer boredom, I have to say I thought A.I. sucked. Which is unusual and a shame given I tend to love Spielberg but there you go.

[Hyo Shin]

I hate a Korean movie called My Tutor Friend. The story is... why bother...



I love bad movies too. I like Plan 9 from Outer Space too. But Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! is just boring to me. Sorry...



I actually enjoyed Phantom Menace. I didn't care of the story. It was a big fashion show to me.



I'm not a big fan of Laurence Olivier's either. He is too stiff and talks too fast. His St. Crispen's Day Speech is like the worst graduation speech. Just uninvolving.

[The Angry Lion]

didnt like the 9th gate, I loved that movie, I think its one of the best horror movies in recent years, and Lena Olin, yum . Oh yes, Titanic, Im glad Im not the only one who hated that film, well hate is maybe too strong a word but I seriously disliked it. Hey maybe there should be a thread for films most people didnt like but you happen to like it? I have a few of those

this one time, at witch camp!

[VampNo12]

The one movie that comes to mind is the time my father wanted to bond so we ended up watching the scifi movie Fifth Element starring Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich. Well all I can say was how painful the experience of watching this mess, especially the weird noises Milla's character made (her idea of communication) throughout the movie... shudder. Also must agree on Titanic, I kept thinking sink ship sink (not to mention if I never again hear Celine Dion's theme song from this movie I will be quite a happy person )

I think I made myself clear about this is another thread....but i HATED queen of the damned and the Notebook, mainly because they took what were, in my humble opinion, amazing novels and turned them into glorified advertising for young stars and sexy bodies. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I actually wondered is anyone bothered to read the books?



Now, I know everyone always tells me "you have to love it!!" but once I finally got to see it.....I was left sick, and tired, and missing those precious hours of my life...a Clockwork Orange. Don't get it, won't ever get it....don't ever want to get it. I can sit back and listen to all the amazing reasoning behind why it is a work of genius, but I quite frankly could not stand it.

Had to jump on the I hated My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It was so bad it made my stomach hurt, I saw it with four friends, one was trying to fall asleep and I kept nudging her awake. Bascically if I had to sit thru it she had to it. I saw it late in the game after all the hype and all the people in the audience must have already seen it 'cause they kept laughing at everything like right before the 'funny' parts and it was hella annoying. Also Evita reeked to me. I'll never watch that again ever.

dear God, I'm here..I'm here.

I couldn't think of a movie that I hated. And then I remembered this one.

The Triumph of Love. On the surface, it looks like a movie I'd really enjoy. Then I watched it. Not so much! Ugh! Mira Sorvino's character is supposed to be sympathetic, but I just thought she was cruel. Or maybe I identified too strongly with the woman she was stringing along... Fiona Shaw should be in more movies. I like her!



I can admit that the sets and costumes were lovely, but oh good golly was this movie wretched!

Why did I rent it? Rachael Stirling's in it. Is it worth watching just for her? Ummmmmmmm. Maybe not. Why bother when Tipping The Velvet exists?

Glitter with Mariah Carey, hands down the most painful movie to watch ever. Bad acting, bad story....bad everything.

I want to taste you naked on the fucking floor. so drink up my love. it's your night my love. you can't feel the bang on an empty stomach.

[maudmac]

I liked Glitter. For the same reasons I love Showgirls.

For Straping Lass - And I dont understand why do you love Matrix . I hate this cos I know some about fight and here is too bad fighting scenes. In one interview Reeves say that for one month they trained and instructors make it from he KILLER KUNG-FU MACHINE !!! Its not possible !!! And add - movie storyline is like mixed from some movies - Blade, Terminator (line - machines rules on world and only hope ...bla, bla, bla). And I really not like Reeves and she whos play Trinity.

On the subject of bad sequels Batman and Robin should be reason enough to keep Joel Shumacher away from film-making forever!

AMEN to that!!!



Now about Chasing Amy. I figured it was just more Kevin Smith dribble, but I guess it is a true story based on himself and a girl that left him. He was the Ben Afflect character.



Now bad movies that supposed to be bad I like. But movies that are trying to pass themselves off as good are another matter.



North: Never saw it, but it was Ebert's review of it that gave him the title of his book, and thus this thread.



Showgirls: I can't decide if this is bad movie that made it good, or a good movie that went bad. Either way I never took it very serious. It was hard too. When my wife and I went saw it the guy in the seat behind us was getting a blow job during the entire movie. Of course we wondered if they were going to see it again so his girlfriend/wife/tax consultant/whatever could see it this time.



For the record, I liked the Matrix, but hey I also liked the first Star Trek movie.

Well, I'll have to go for Peter Jackson's first film BAD TASTE. For the entire length of the film I just sat there bored out of my mind. It was bloody hard not to fall asleep. Then you get to the ending where the mansion turns into a spaceship and takes off, and the bit with Jackson with the chainsaw and the alien...now, I'm all for gratuitous gore, but that bit took the piss quite a lot.



I don't like Con Air either.



About the whole Kevin Smith thing...there's a quote from him which goes something like: "I actually think I have done a science fiction film. It's called Chasing Amy. Ask any lesbian - that'll never happen."

That was my sig for a good month or two!

I know, La, it cracked me up. Also, who was it with that quote sig from Kissing Jessica Stein - "who do I have to blow to get some pussy 'round here?!"



But guys, c'mmon, cut Kevin Smith some slack. I mean, the man cast Alanis Morissette () for the part of God in Dogma. He created Jay and Silent Bob. How could anyone possibly be seriously insulted by him after that I have no idea.



Now, the most messed up movie I ever saw was... Alice in Wonderland . I'm a pretty hardcore Disney fan, but that was just awful. I mean, the poor girl gets lost in that terrible place, and everybody's laughing at her and nobody would help her... You know, they just abuse her for like 80 minutes straight. That idiotic tea-party... and the cat was mean. He was just way mean. Plus, nothing ever obeys the laws of phisics... *shivers* that's just a terrible flick. And when she finally does get home what happens? They make her SING. Lord have mercy! I just felt sorry for her the entire movie.

All your base are belong to us.

I really, really, really HATED Rules of Attraction. I blasted it in a review, in fact it was the only film I have ever given 0 stars to. It made me feel like bathing in holy water afterwards...doing something to get the stench off.



to put it in prespective how bad it was...consider this: it ends in mid-sentence.

[La]

does it start in mid-sentence too? because the book does. it starts and ends in mid-sentence. and movies based on books are most often not great.

Last film I walked out was was The Mummy Returns. The real question though is why the hell I went to see it in the first place

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast

[La]

it's really funny that so many of the movies people are mentioning are, of course, movies that I enjoyed. Of course, whenever I mention to my brother that he and I have the same taste in movies so I usually know that if he recommends a movie, I'm really going to like it, he corrects me by saying that I like all movies, so of course I'll like everything he recommends. Hmmf. But I also haven't been able to think of any movies that I've hated. After watching The Messenger over and over and over again for a paper I was writing last semester I never want to see it again, and it was a bad movie, but I can't say I hated it. It just wasn't any good.

[BeatNikJackie7777]

la, I hated the book too...lol, not a big fan of as you can see. In fact, American Psycho is the only movie Ive ever seen where I sincerely thought the movie was better than the book...



as for kevin smith, aw...I agree lol, lets cut him some slack. There's something to be said for making something outta nothing..clerks had a negligible budget...I also liked chasing amy...lol, I dunno I guess I didnt see the "lesbians only need the right guy" theme. In the end, they didnt stay together, she continues making her lesbian-themed comics and the implication is that she remains a lesbian...but the bond between the two of them was solid..one that transcends heterosexual and homosexual lines. Hell, I have a similar relationship with my ex-bf from high school. Although we're both gay and dating other people, our bond is stronger than ever.

Lol, I'm loving this thread!

One of the movies that will just make me cringe is Showgirls. I worked at a theater when this horrid thing was making the rounds, and my boss put the reels together, which of course ment she fucked them up. I had to watch the movie over and over, trying to fix the messed up splices. Ug, I so hate that movie.

We also showed lots of Disney movies early in the day, and all the staff would get to where we could quote lines from each movie and roll our eyes.

I had forgotten how much I hated Con Air untill I watched it with some friends last week. "Puht tha bhunny bhackk in tha bocks" Movies with bad Southern accents just piss me off.

Laney, who has an authentic Southern accent...

I hated Event Horizon. I know someone else hated that as well, it was just a nasty movie. I also really didn't like Interview with a vampire (apart from Kirsten Dunst) although I did enjoy Bram Stokers Dracula when I was forced to watch it. Tank Girl made me fall asleep as well.

Cheese. It's milk that you chew.

Sorry, absolutely no slack for Chasing Amy. Y'all see from the responses on this thread that the whole "lesbian just needs a good man" interpretation is common and valid. In fact, if you look at the other lesbian sites, Chasing Amy is invariably listed in the top 10 of hated movies.



Having said that, I'll also say I liked Clerks and Alanis. It's just that he should stick to making straight film and not stereotypical male fantasy films about lesbians. Go figure.



Lastly, I have to say that I think Kevin Smith is a has-been.



Just to round out -- hated Daredevil and that Star Wars film -- Send in the Clones or whatever it was.
