Showgirls has Gina Gershon. Therefore, automatically immune from nomination.

Come on, you guys! Is that the best you can do?

I saw in a video store magazine the cover of the Mariah Carey movie, and i'll put money on it being one of the 10 worst films in the history of the universe, and i haven't even seen it

As for bad films i have seen, the following come instantly to mind;

Starship Troopers
Hard Target (i had to look up the name, though)
Hollywood Suite (apalling Alan Alda movie made in the 70's. I only remember it because it was so bad. I want to vomit just thinking about it )

Most of the other bad movies i haven't actually seen, but their reputations prevent me from wasting two hours of my life watching them. For the sake of it, has anyone seen Kung Pow or Freddy Got Fingered, and were they really as bad as they said??

Asher, if they were bad movies, then you've been blessed that you haven't seen worse! Come to think of it, what do you consider to be "good" movies?

Most movies are crap because they tend dumb everything down so that Joe Bob from Arkansas can follow along. I hate movies where everything is handed to me, and then people leave the theatre amazed and surprised and yapping about how good the movie is when it's clear about 30 minutes into it how it ends and how transparent and one-dimensional the characters are.

That's why most movies suck.

The worst movies to me:

I hope that people who hate it just did not see it as something that was to be taken SERIOUSLY ?

Listing films like Titanic, Independence Day, etc. is like shooting fish in a barrel. Everyone KNOWS they are bad, but there was enough to entertain for a bit. They weren't unredeemingly, horrifically awful enough to be consigned to the lowest levels of film perdition:

1.) The Haunting (1999). This is absolutely one of the worst wastes of celluloid ever made, and its sin is compounded due to the fact the original source material was so good.

2.) Ok, yeah, Battlefield Earth has to be up there. The only thing more horrific than this film is Travolta's insistence there will be a sequel.

3.) K-9. You better believe this is one of the worst comedies ever made, and the only reason it's sequel (yes, K-911) can't be listed higher is because I hesitate to classify it as a film, as it seems to have been shot on video. But the original is bad enough.

4.) Popeye. Anybody who expressed surprise at the descent of Robin Williams's career must not have seen this flick. I was all of 4 when it came out and still vented my spleen over it.

5.) Raise the Titanic. Anyone who think's Cameron's film is the worst Titanic movie ever made needs to to see this stinker. Huge budget. Terrific special effects. Most boring script ever written.

I don't thing Dumb and Dumber, or Dude, Where's My Car? or anything like that qualifies. They weren't anything more or less than what they claimed to be, dumb, silly movies. I think "worst" should go to those films with higher pretentions, and then sink soooo much lower (Ishtar, anyone?).

Pearl Harbor had more technical mistakes than any film made in the past 40 years.

If I could remember their names, there were enormous numbers of truly bad films made in the 1950s. Almost any Sci-Fi film made in the 50s could contend for the title of worst picture ever made. Exceptions would be "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "The Blob".

I can see that threads on bad movies are not good. C'mon, guys! When it's entirely subjective, how can you possibly hope to come up with answers?


I won't name the movies I think are bad because there are far too many that I couldn't possibly pick the WORST. But you want films with no redeemable value, any film shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000 would qualify. When you take out the funny commentary, they can induce vomitting. They use them in suicide cults to convince people to drink the Kool Aid.

Cutthroat Island is good--in fact, I bought the video.

Time Machine was awful though. It's sad Simon Wells is more a Tim Burton fan than he is a fan of H.G. Wells. This latest version of the movie missed the entire point of the book.

Bah, Cutthroat Island has lots of good stuff:

Morgan's father found a really great spot to hide his map.

The "doctor's" banter with the homely woman as he's picking her clean of jewelry is quite cute.

How about the exchange:
"Morgan, I was hoping to find you sober!"
"Really? I was hoping to be passed out by now."

There's a great stunt where Morgan dives out of a second story window and does a blind sumersault onto the seat of a racing wagon.

Admittedly, there are some bad spots:

Releasing a homing pigeon at night in a hurricane.

No effort at all in hauling up the largest pirate treasure ever.

Only one African-American pirate in the whole crew and only one guy with a tatoo.

But mostly, the title! I mean, "Cutthroat Island" Yeechh!
