Someone mentioned Starship Trooper 2 and I have to say you gotta wonder about some of these producers that are out there...I mean what on earth were they thinking? That movie was so beyond bad that it made the 1st one look like pure art, which it wasn't, but the 1st one had a lot of good visuals. The 2nd one looked like it had a budget of $100 ,and they didn't think we would notice that a certain ships captain was brought back from the dead to play a trooper!

I'm sure NONE of the actors put THAT movie on their resumes.

That was a *GREAT* movie, if it 2001'd you, that's because of it's deep and signifigant message(s). In time it will be regarded as a classic, sister.

*sigh* Oh brother Chrisisall

One shoud try to see the original russian movie though. The original or both.. then afterwards one can have long deep debates about the differences in the two..

I like cheap sci fi which is among the worst of bad movies, that means I like movies with lousy acting, cheap special effects, and highly contrived plot. As a result of this I once thought that there could be no movie bad enough to make me hate it. I recognize that a good movie can provoke hate by taking you places you don't want to go, but I really thought that the fact that I liked bad acting, bad plot, bad direction, and generally bad things made me immune to hating bad movies.

A History of Violence was the movie that proved that wrong. The special effects weren't bad, in fact they were great and I remember no time at which you felt like you were looking at a special effect instead of, say, someone's face being burned off by hot coffee. The camera work wasn't bad either. The lighting was also fine, as were the sets the costumes and the sound. Everything else was the worst I have ever seen in my life. The acting, the writing, and what passed for plot made me want to wretch.

It was the first and only time I left a theater thinking about how much of my life I had wasted, 96 minutes about 5760 seconds, enough time that on average ten thousand people died, and really knew what it was like to mourn every second lost. I had literally nothing else to do during that time and found myself wishing I had done just that: nothing. Never before and never since have I actually felt a sense of loss for having done something less productive than staring at a wall.

If I had been on my own I probably would have waked out, but the person who paid for my ticket was right next to me. Which brings up another thing, I didn't think I could feel like a movie someone else paid for was a waste, after all it cost me nothing except time, I was obviously wrong.

As far as I could see the only thing the movie had going for it, and I have to give it credit for it, is that in spite of offering nothing whatsoever to the viewer I meant it when I said, "I probably would have walked out." Notice the 'probably.' I might not have walked out even if I were the only one in the theater. Based on what I overheard and what was told to me directly every single person in the theater had the same experience I had, which means I have to give the movie a lot of credit, because every single person was kept not on the edge of their seat but at least interested by the continuing feeling that if you just watched for a little bit longer something would happen that would somehow make the movie worth watching. At every stage of the way it felt like something interesting was coming up, something that would turn the whole thing around and make enduring what had come before worthwhile was right just around the bend. That something never came, but the fact that the movie managed to give in the theater that feeling for more or less the entire time is very impressive.

I know that the theater I was in is not representative of most theaters, I know that there were people who liked the movie, even loved it, but I don't know what they saw in it. I'm sure there's someone who's going to be shocked that is the movie I hate the most, yet it is and I hate it so much all else pales in comparison and I have no second most hated movie.

1. Dirty Dancing

2. Flashdance

As if sitting through chick flicks wasn't bad enough these include dancing as a vital element. Along the lines of what Chrisisall said, if someone strapped me down and forced my eyes open I would try my damnest to rupture a blood vessel in my brain to avoid watching these films.

I'm actually stunned at several of the films people have listed here, then again I'm sure my top two are bound to be on someone's favorite list.

The one that came screaming into my mind was Tim Robbin's "Jacob's Ladder". It's been 17 years sine that crap wasted 2 hours of my life and I'm still p*ssed off about it.

To any budding script writers out there:
1. The ending of "it was all a dream" is not ok. If the movie is nothing but a wandering, aimless drug-trip as a soldier dies then gee....NOTHING HAPPENED. So why did I need to watch?
2. We all know Viet Nam was bad. Let's talk abot something else now.

To any movie marketers out there:
Don't advertise a movie about demons and supernatural stuff and give me a Viet Nam drug trip. In fact, don't ever advertise one movie and give me a different one. Tends to make me grumpy.

1) Gone in 60 seconds. unbearably baaaaad. I'm thinking the flaming skull motorcycle thing fits right here too, but don't plan on finding out.

2) Jim Carey anything. He just gives me the heebie jeebies, and he's not funny.

James Bond is almost always out to save the world as we know it, if he were to fail then the next movie (supposedly a sequel) could not be set in the world as we know it. Hence he must win.

The only thing in doubt in a Bond movie is the fate of the sidekicks.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Douglas Adams actually came up with the idea *so I've heard from some interview* Lying in a field -plastered- looking up at the sky, he happened to be carrying a Hitchhikers Guide to Europe...The reason the book is so well...crazy at times and parts are a little hard to make sense of ( a trilogy of five?!:P) because (something I heard for a teacher of mine) it was all originally a radio show that at any moment could be cancelled, so he had to be able to finish the 'story' at any time.
Then there was the Spiderman comment... I cried a little :P I actually can't bring myself to pass judgement on that movie mostly because I like Spiderman tooooo much

now the worst movie I ever saw...
1. 300 HAHAH that's right I said it!(Please, no need to tell me how wrong I am, my friend bitched me out for literally 3 hours about how I'm wrong and then did a low blow- talked about hating Spiderman....I don't even think its that bad I'm probably spiteful to all the hype)
2. The Lizzie Mcguire movie- everytime I babysat this family this movie was on, continuously. This was YEARS ago and I still hate it

You know, I was lucky enough to babysit mostly boys so I never had to suffer through that crap. I despise anything with Hillary Duff, just on general pricipal. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the epitome of mediocraty.
