Sleepwalkers

There was a time when I watched any movie that was associated with Stephen King.

This movie taught me that wasn't a good policy.

Dennis. Never has a film so utterly failed at connecting me with the main character. I hate the little ****er. Hate him. As far as I can see, he tortures Mr Wilson for no reason at all, and then we're supposed to be sorry for him?

Sub-Matrix nonsense like The One and Equilibrium are more recent terrible films.

Should we count any of the "Halloween", "Friday the 13th" or Nightmare on Elm Street" movies? After all, we sort of expect them to be bad.

When I was young there was a cult movie called "Two Lane Blacktop" that was pretty bad.

Almost all of the Sci-Fi channels "original movies" have been awful. I am of course excluding the Babylon 5 series and the Dune series.

I think that Shynmalan's last two movies, "Unbreakable" and "Signs" stank.

Uhhhh..... Let's see. The TV announces that the aliens were thrown back in the Middle East by the use of an "ancient weapon". It turns out that water was their "Waterloo". ---- When was throwing water an ancient weapon in the Middle East? Did the Arab women start spitting on the aliens? I can picture it now: "Ptew. Ptew. Ptew." "Heellllllppppppp Mmmmeeeeeee! I'mmmmm mmmeeeellllltttttttiiiinnnnggggggg! Ohhh You wicked, wicked little girl! Look what you've done to my beautiful alien-ness!" "Ptew. Ptew. Ptew."

Oh, and if the kid with the asthma atttack was so far gone that he couldn't inhale the alien's poison how could he inhale the Albuterol from the metered dose inhaler that revived him? How could he have survived an all night long hypoxic coma without respiratory assitance?

Why did you think Unbreakable stank? I thought it was pretty good.

The first "Halloween" is actually pretty good, especially considering its genre. It's far more effective at generating suspense and scares than most horror films are.

Picking a "worst movie ever" is very difficult, especially since, by and large, more films come out that are bad than good.

This year alone, I've been subjected to three cinematic boondoggles in the theaters, including "Identity," "A Mighty Wind" and the atrocious "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." The learning curve for film-making is apparently steep, since we have more tripe being generated every year rather than less.

The absolute worst movie I've seen in the past year has to be "Head of State." I yearn for the day someone finally breaks it to Chris Rock that he can't act, can't direct, and should just stick to being an acerbic standup comedian, which at least he does (somewhat) well.

I'll have to think more on what the worst movie I've ever seen is...tough call.

Appollo 13. Fell asleep when i watched in the cinema. Woke up two hours and it was still going. Have later tried to give it a second chance again on TV, but promptly fell asleep again. Am now considering getting a copy if I ever get insomnia again.

Forrest Gump - Horrid. Maybe i just don't like Tom Hanks :/

I liked Evolution - it was closer to any concept of evolution than I've ever seen.

Trainspotting had a great soundtrack, so I just closed my eyes to the grisly bits and enjoyed the movie nonetheless.

Tom Hanks hasn't been in a good film since Big.

Evolution was indisputably awful...

...and has anyone mentioned Pearl Harbor, or have psychological coping mechanisms blanked it from memory. Oh, and Titanic...

Pearl Harbour wasn't as bad as I was hoping it would be.

I can't be arsed to watch hours of crap just to see Kate Winslet's tits so I haven't seen Titanic either.

Are you saying that Catch Me if you Can, Road to Perdition, Cast Away, Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Toy Story, Apollo 13, Forrest Gump, Philadelphia, A League of their Own, and The Burbs were all bad movies?

EmpFab has a point... at least 3 of those films were damn good (Philadelphia, Saving Private Ryan and Catch Me If You can). A League of Their Own was certainly enjoyable, IMO, and Toy Story is hard to complain about...

Yes but I said it with fewer words.

Actually Toy Story was good but he wasn't actually on screen in that one.

I haven't seen Catch Me If You Can. Philadelphia seemed emotionally exploitative and Saving Private Ryan was only good for the opening scene which was amazing. The rest of the film seemed a bit contrived.

Big, however, was a cinematic masterpiece. One of the great films of all time.

I assume you saw all of them as well?

EDIT: Ah ha, beat me to the punch. That said, if you haven't seen Road to Perdition, you should see it. And see catch me...

I will say that Big is better than many of the movies he's done since, but those stand out, IMO, above it...

Now, if you had said that the BURBS was the best he's done, I wouldn't be able to argue.

Catch Me If You Can and Road To Perdition are good films, although I am not a massive fan of Tom Hanks as an actor...maybe he is and I just haven't given it a lot of thought...

Anywho, for me, I'd say the movies I enjoyed the least were:

Contact (the idea was there, it just didn't sit well with me)
Batman Returns (I tried hard to like it...but I couldn't)
Falling Down (really just didn't like it)

I don;t know the name of the worst film I ever saw..it was an underground flick from 1962, which i had to sit through awaiting Trimph des Willens at the Vienna film institute. Lets just say, it is a different order of magnitude of disturbing. It is even worse than the film which consits of a closeup of a womans genitals bleeding while this shriek runs over the film [ also seen in vienna], if only cause that film is only about two minutes long while thew other one was 40.
