Ok it is late at night and there is NOTHING on the puppet theater.. so.. we covered our ten favorite movies... (as if we could REALLY limit it to ten) so how about the ten worst...
as a civic duty... what ten films should your fellow browncoats avoid.. (as in save those precious moments of their life)?

Just one for me:
I HATE HATE HATE Forrest Gump with a deep and abiding loathing that makes me want to projectile vomit when it's mentioned ...
I once went on a date which was going fairly well till we got to films. I said; "there's one film I really hate...” etc ...
He paused, looked down at his plate, sighed and said in a tiny voice; "that's my favourite film, but anyway ..."
I'm sure you can imagine the sudden and inevitable downward spiral of an evening that ensued...

I don't actively seek out bad movies, but sometimes you just are in the wrong place at the wrong time. And so, in no particular order.
Pinocchio (Roberto Benigni version) - What a turd of a movie. I wanted to punch myself in the eye after watching it (this is actually the movie I consider the worst EVER).
Star Wars (All three new ones) - After watching these, I wanted to punch George Lucas in the eye. The only redeeming qualities are Darth Maul, Yoda and light sabers.
You got served - I did get served . . . by watching this vomit inducing crapfest.
Forces of Nature - I hate Ben Affleck soooo much.
Like Mike - Stupid stupid stupid why did I watch this, WHY!!!
Battlefield Earth - After the movie I actually apologised to my friend for making him see it with me. What the hell was this movie supposed to be anyway?
Batman and Robin (Clooney and Kilmer both sucked) - Gay. Super gay.
Blair Witch Project - Um . . . not scary, nor was it entertaining. Damn independent films.
Grease 2 - It's as if they took what made the original Grease good and threw it out and made the lamest movie they could think of.
Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions - I fully understand that they wanted to take our money, but come on, put a little effort into your work people.

I Spit On Your Grave - about as much fun as a bucket of spit. Seriously.
Lost And Delirious - not even a lesbian sex scene could make up for the crud-tastically atrocious dialogue.
The Ewok Adventure/Ewoks: The Battle For Endor - trust me, Lucas' prequels are artistic masterpieces compared to these two clunkers.
Joe Dirt - Actually, anything with David Spade in it. Now I know what brain damage is like.
Dumb And Dumberer - who'd'a thunk it... a movie even stupider than Dumb And Dumber.
Dumb And Dumber - One way to toss away a five buck rental fee.
Batman And Robin/Batman Forever - No wonder DC Comics movies sucked for so long. Though anytime I rag on Kilmer, I just pop in Heat and watch him kick some ass.
Robocop... all of them - they just plain sucked.
Romeo and Juliet - actually, every Leo DiCaprio movie prior to Gangs of New York and excluding What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
Every Steven Seagal movie - god, I just want to see this guy get his tail kicked in. Only saving grace of Executive Decision was the fact that his character bit it.
Eh, there's my ten even with a little... cheating. And I have so many more candidates.
Does Blue Sun sponser the Blue Man Group?

Hey Chindi
Ok what follows is in no particular order, just the first that come to mind. So:
1Crash (David Cronenberg) I just cannot stand films that use taboo subjects and pretend to be intelectual about them!!!! Like watching a man's perversion twenty foot high on the screen.
2DamageThat thing with Jeremy Irons... Over dramatic flim-flam. Septic cinema!!!!
3The Fifth Element Too much like a boy's wet dream!!! Terrible!!!!
4Van Helsing Utter rubbish!
5A Clockwork Orange... Not a fan of this. Easy shock tactics cinema.
6The Idiots Simplistic sensationalist rubbsih, again using taboo subjects!!! Weak.
7Gladiator Just did nothing for me. Really pedestrian.
8Requiem for a dream Paint by numbers style melodrama. Utterly pointless!!!!!
9DraculaThe Coppola one. Dreadful.
10Legends of the Fall I think that's what it was called with Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins!!! What RuuuuuuuBBBish!!!!!
Ok I'm sure I have more that I consider the worse, but these jumped out at me as I wrote so I guess that signifies something.
Cheers

Oh Zoot!!! You poor thing. Could you not get past your differences over the film? Sometimes having things you feel opposite about can work quite well.
My girlfriend loves musicals, indescriminatley, and I loath them!!! She hates Sci-fi and I love Sci-fi, well some anyway, but point is it actually makes life more interesting. She tries to convince me to watch musicals, and I try to convince her to watch Sci-fi... well Serenity actually, but she's kinda stubborn, but it's all good natured fun trying to convince each other...
Anyway just thought that was interesting how you found your direct cineamtic opposite.

The Somnambulist,
I normally don't mind differences... I mean I'm not an avid sci-fi viewer and I hate sci-fi or indeed fantasy books (Tolkien excluded) … I’m not great on horror movies and it takes a lot to make me watch something with subtitles (although just watched Y Tu Mama Tambien – and that makes even subtitles steamy!) but there are just some things I can’t stomach – and one is liking Forrest Gump, the other is being a labour or conservative mp – hell, let’s face it, just an MP is bad enough and agreeing with the government about anything is likely to put me off (apparently I’m a bit picky) ….
I too have a serious problem with musicals – I like anything prior to about 1960 but after that – nah! Was forced to go see Phantom of the Opera last year and ended up making a nasty place on my arm due to the stress and general horror caused!!
I guess I don’t have a problem except when the differences indicate underlying moral divergence (I really think to like Forrest Gump is a mental as well as moral aberration) … It would drive me mad however if my partner wouldn’t see Serenity – After all, demographically it’s done better amongst women … It would rile me horribly that she was missing out on witty dialogue etc. which she will surely love!!!

1. The Lord of the Rings
2. The Lord of the Rings
3. The Lord of the Rings
4. The Lord of.... do I really have to do this all the way to ten? You get it.
Without a doubt, the most overrated movies of all time. Convoluted, indecipherable, so-called script. Filled with great actors that never got the chance to act (with the possible exception of a few lines by Astin and Wood - that's out of 3 entire movies mind you). Good visuals is the only nice thing it's possible to say about it.

I totally agree - and get nothing but loadsa flack from friends, but basically these films lacked any soul.
