I got a new one to add to the list last night - unfortunately when friends brought it up as thir favorite musical...

Moulin Rouge *shudder* It's visually pretty, but the over acting and whacked out weird lyrics and insane camera work make it impossible to watch more than 5 seconds. I know they were trying to be different with it but...

What about Dare Devil? A few years back when this movie came out people were screaming and crying because they thought it was so bad. I personally didn't think it was that bad at all, but I like Ben Affleck, so what do I know?

Holy crap! Those are both in my top 10 favorite films, ever.

Oh God, I hate that too. The most you should have is genereally a slight hissing noise.
Have you ever seen the movie "Ladyhawke"? I like this movie. I really do. It has a good story and is well cast. Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, and a pre "War Games" Matthew Broderick. There are issues however. The armor and -Oh GOD!- the helms in that movie are so horrible and just about everything worn by the Bishop is just so wrong! I wanted to punish the costume designer.

This should link to a pic of Rutger Hauer in one of the helmets I mentioned. When the visor is down he looks a little like a medievil Robocop. And just imagine it in gold, which is what the bad guy wears.
My other big issue with this (and many other films) is how the broadsword is handled. Rutger hauer has a massive sword in this movie that he tend to throw like a spear. At on point he hurls it about a foot into a tree. First off, that's physically impossible for a human being. Secondly, sword don't really work like that. They're not balanced properly for throwing. It would also be damned hard to get it out. Later he throws it through a man and pins him to a wall./ The sword is up to the quillions in the gus chest and the man has his back flat to the wall so presumable the rest of the sword is sticking out the other side of the wall.
Ladyhwke isn't the only movie to do such things just one of the most obvious. It. Is. Not. Possible. The only way filmakers should be able to get away with this is if either the sword or the weilder is magical.

What about the Rocky or Rambo movies?

I liked Rambo 1, but the rest of the movies were pretty bad.

You should suggest this on the Mythbuster's site Kayna. I can just see Jaimie or Adam trying to throw a huge broadsword at a tree or maybe Buster. Seriously, you should post there.

Anyway back to the topic, there are many movies I hated that I wouldn't watch voluntarily (though if they came on tv and I was bored I might watch it back and forth between other shows) But there are two that I saw that I refuse to watch andonly if I was offered a LARGE sum of money would I watch again.

The main one If Event Horizon, I even hate saying the name, it started off well, Fishburn was great and commanding and there were times it reminded me of the original Alien movie, but then it got gory and the story unravelled and it was all I could do not to walk out. I was with my brother, and he said if you hate it leave (he wasn't very sympathetic) kept telling me I told you it was going to be scarey. But this wasn't just scarey, it made my stomache turn and it was all I could do to keep my popcorn down. So stupid me I stayed, did the hands over my eyes thing, but occasionally took a peak (and regretted it. Just stupid doesn't make sense un-nescessary gore. It had two kinds of impact. One, ever since that movie anything Sam Niel is in I can't enjoy because I keep seeing him as the psycho killer, and 2, for a year (yes a year) I had nightmares of this film, I kid you not. Just the most horrid dreams, and it's telling how terrible this movie was because I'm feeling nauseous revisting it.

Forget the million, I'm going to have to have all the gold in Fort Knox to rewatch that film.

Then there's the second one I was stupid enough to see with anoher brother that again was gratuitous, nauseating and actually very demmeaning and negative towards women. Sin City. I don't understand why people like this film, men I can it's got all the action and naked chicks, but many women like this piece of fey-yoo and I can't understand it. One of the worst pictures to come out in the last 5 years that from beggining to end show women as sexual objects to be exploited and abused, not to mention that pedophile getting away with torturing and killing other young girls while a cop is forced into admitting he did it to save one of the victims, and there's one scene where Bruce Willis pulls a guys **** off, well again it took a lot to keep my popcorn down. And now there's talk of a sequel? So how many women and children are going to be abused in this?

I think there can't be any worse films that makes me physically ill (even Pulp Fiction had some cleverness to it's violence) And though many will find this strange I'd be willing to sit through Star Wars 1, 2, and 3, then watch these two horrible movies.

I still to this day do not, and will not understand why Pulp Fiction is such a good movie and how on earth did it become a classic watch? It was a pretty bad, brutal, and senseless movie; I don't get it.

I made certain to watch it 6 times just to make sure I didn't, or hadn't missed anything. I simply don't like it, and I put it right down there with "Picnic at Hanging Rock" as a totally pointless film. Others on the other hand seem to like it. I guess in this area I'm clueless.

I do agree with a lot of the selections here, but my worst two are both the fourth installment in each series.

The Crow: 4 (not sure the real title) I was medical standy by on this and the producer threw us off the set before the hanging sequence because he didn't want to pay for paramedics. I only watched it because I was there for a bit, and it had David Boreanaz in it.

Urban Legends: Bloody Mary. I did medical stand by again for one of the scenes. I am suprised that someone didn't die in the filming of this movie. Everything kept breaking while they were filming and when the producer showed up you could smell the alcohol on him from about 20 feet away. I was actually in this one for about 10 seconds, I am the medic (without glasses) who is about to pick a corpse up off the road. If you watch close, the way they spliced it together we get the stretcher out of the ambulance about 3 times.
