Certainly films like Glitter and Gigli would qualifiy for being the worst films ever made, but for ones that I have actually seen, I would have to list the following:

The Big Lebowski

Mulan Rouge (sorry Athena! I know this is one of your favorites, but I can't stand it)

Blues Brothers 2000 (no John Belushi, what's the point of even trying to make a sequel?)


Those damn Child's Play movies ( I can't believe they are going to do another one called Seed of Chucky, where Chucky has a son! WTF!!??) Actually most horror films I find (and I'm not much of a horror film fan) get rediculous after one or two sequels.

Grease 2 ( Again, why tamper with something special and ruin it by creating a crappy sequel?)

Teen Wolf Too (Same goes for this one as well)

Howard the Duck: I loved this one as a kid, and still will only watch it for Lea Thompson, but talk about cheese city!

I'm sure I'll come up with some more another time.

5 words,

STAR TREK: The Motion Picture

[Agent 76]

The World is not enough

[Jaelle]

Oooooooh, Agent76, that's rough! I'm just waiting for someone to say LTK! C'mon, Chandler, where are you??

[The Dove]

Certainly Star Trek: The Motion Picture was bad, but I think that Star Trek V: The Voyage Home was even worse!

[Q-Zar]

Mulan Rouge (sorry Athena! I know this is one of your favorites, but I can't stand it)

Disney made a movie with Baz Luhrman ?
(or are you talking about "Moulin Rouge" ? )

Don't knock the Child's Play movies, they're pure fun Just watched part 3 again actually
I didn't even know there was a Teen Wolf 2 ! Are some of the actors the same, or what's it like ?
A movie I thought was boring and got on my nerves was "Unbreakable", so I didn't bother to watch "Signs" even though the critics loved it.
Couldn't watch "Pulp Fiction" for more than 5 minutes before I got bored either.

[The Dove]

Thanks Q-Zar for the spelling of Moulin Rouge! As for Teen Wolf Too, it came out in '87 but didn't have Michael J. Fox. Jason Bateman takes over this time as Scott Howard's cousin, Todd. The only two actors from the first film in it are James Hampton ( Scott's dad) and Mark Holton (Chubby). In a nutshell, they just tried to re-make the same movie twice. Its funny, but way too corny and doesn't even do justice to the first film.

Uh, so? Every actor wants to work with great actors...why should Tom Cruise be praised for that.

I've already sited some evidence. He could take the easy way out and just put a nobody opposite him and take all the credit. But he seems to want to work with the best, and there have been some good results off of that for all parties.

Consider Newman and Hoffman earned Oscars playing off of Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. got one for Best Supporting Actor for Jerry Maguire; Jack Nicholson was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in A Few Good Men as was Ken Wattanabe this year for Last Samurai. Renee Zellwegger got her big break opposite Cruise in Jerry Maguire.

Then there are people like Gene Hackman in The Firm, Duvall in Days of Thunder, Jon Voight in MI; Anthony Hopkins in MI2, respected veteran actors who often do films that are more serious who he obviously wanted to work with and who wanted to work with him.

People want to knock Cruise because he's popular or makes commercial films or is rich or they hate his smirk and all that. Everybody's got the right to an opinion. But to hate him for those reasons without giving the guy credit for his artistic decisions just seems a waste. I could rip other certain actors for strange decisions, but what would be the point?

[GreggAllinson]

Certainly Star Trek: The Motion Picture was bad, but I think that Star Trek V: The Voyage Home was even worse!

V was the Final Frontier (featuring the infamous "What...does GOD NEED...with a STARSHIP?!"). IV was the Voyage Home, which I actually thought was pretty damn hilarious ("No, ma'am. No dip[censored].").

[The Dove]

Thanks Gregg. I'm always getting the titles of the last three original cast Trek movies mixed up. I of course meant Star Trek V:The Final Frontier (which is the one directed by William Shatner I believe.) Star Trek IV I did find to be absolutly hillarious as well ( "And a double-dumb- to you!!) or something to that effect.

[Robinson]

You folks need to hit this website to a breakdown on films that are truly bad.

http://www.jabootu.com/default.asp

Granted, they tend to concentrate on genre films but their insight on these clunkers is spot on!

I can't recall a truly awful film because I believe I've successfully blocked them out of my memory.

WHO'S THAT GIRL?! Starring Madonna and Griffin Dunne.

HIGHLANDER II

METEOR

Ugh, it's all coming back.

[TGO]

Robinson...Meteor was just on Channel 5 just last weekend!

[ChandlerBing]

Oooooooh, Agent76, that's rough! I'm just waiting for someone to say LTK! C'mon, Chandler, where are you??

LTK is hardly the worst movie ever made. I like it better than The Living Daylights actually. I go to Hastings every so often to rent the LTK DVD so I can watch the special features.

[Tarl_Cabot]

And I thought only Darren hated TWINE so passionately...

my top 10:

1.Days of Thunder
2.On Any Given Sunday
3.Tango and Cash
4.Roadhouse
5.The Sixth day
6.The Last Action hero
7.On Deadly Ground
8.Shaft (2000)
9.Armegeddon
10.The Phantom Menace

[Xenobia]

To all those defending Tom Cruise, I am sure he is touched by your devotion.

Yes, it is true that all actors want to work with great actors. The problem with Tommy is when he ISN'T working with great actors, his own innate badness comes out.

-- Xenobia

[GreggAllinson]

Tom Cruise is absolutely hideous. Even in Eyes Wide Shut (which IS a good movie, damnit!), his smirkiness ruins some scenes. There's a difference between being charmingly cocky or confident and being insufferably smug, and Tom crosses the line quite often. He might be a perfectly wonderful human being for all I know, but he comes off as a self-indulgent bastard on screen even when he's supposed to be likable. Hell, I can't bring myself to watch Vanilla Sky (which almost every girl I've ever been in a relationship or lusted after loves) because it had Tom and Penelope (who gave perhaps the single worst performance I've ever seen in my entire life in Blow- a movie that was halfway decent until Cruz became a shrill caricature, at which point the film became the cinematic equivelant of Chinese water torture) in it.

[ChandlerBing]

Ah, come on, Roadhouse was my favorite movie with Dalton that came out in the summer of 89. It's one of those movies that's so bad, it's funny. Any wonder Swayze never had much of a career. He cannot act!

[Tarl_Cabot]

I sat next to a black couple during Roadhouse. I told them after the movie that I was embarrassed for the white race! At least they got a good laugh...

comon, LTK is like 'Casablanca' compared to Roadhouse!

[Tarl_Cabot]

"Penelope (who gave perhaps the single worst performance I've ever seen in my entire life in Blow- a movie that was halfway decent until Cruz became a shrill caricature, at which point the film became the cinematic equivelant of Chinese water torture) in it. "

Interesting....some foriegn actors and directors really suck when they start eating burgers and fries....John Woo makes awful films in English...

[ChandlerBing]

Roadhouse is one of those guilty pleasure movies that you can laugh at when no one else is looking. You are correct, LTK is a different deal entirely. It is, after all, Bond.

[Tarl_Cabot]

It's a dorm room flick you can watch after a few loads and giggle, absolutely!

[Turn]

Ah, come on, Roadhouse was my favorite movie with Dalton that came out in the summer of 89. It's one of those movies that's so bad, it's funny. Any wonder Swayze never had much of a career. He cannot act!

I actually paid to see Roadhouse when it came out (being an MGM film, it even had an LTK preview trailer attached to it). Who couldn't love a movie where one of the lines of dialogue is about how one bouncer works at a place where they had signs over the stalls that said don't eat the mint.

At that showing, there was an actual redneck guy in the audience making comments at the screen. People were laughing at him and he thought they were laughing at his comments. It made the experience that much more memorable.

[Genrewriter]

I gotta stand up for Tango & Cash. I'm not going to say it's a good movie, to be brutally frank it's Lethal Weapon Lite. But still, any film with Kurt Russell is going to be at the very least, watchable. Stallone also is fairly decent in a comedic turn. The film works better if you look at it as a parody.

[GreggAllinson]

Roadhouse is also the inspiration for the greatest Christmas carol ever written- "(Let's Have) A Patrick Swayze Christmas", by Crow T. Robot.

[Xenobia]

Hey Gregg....where does one find the lyrics to this carol?

[taxman2001]

Titanic

Historically inaccurate - the only thing they managed to get right was that the boat sank. Cameron was my favourite director upto this pile of steaming pooh.

U-571

Historically inaccurate and just flat. Matthew McConaughey-hey-hey allegedly made this movie to prove to Clive Cussler that he could do action hero films. Matthew I'm really not hoping alot for Sahara mate.

Men At Work

Estevez. Sheen. Together at last. Why in God's name? WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!

[GreggAllinson]

Xen- http://www.mst3kinfo..._e/Song321.html I hope it makes your day just a little more Christmasy (and Swayzey).

[Tarl_Cabot]

"The film works better if you look at it as a parody. "

They should have have really gone for the parody/comedy. With Stallone really making fun of himself that would have been awesome but it wasn't meant to be a parody...

The movie insults the audience. The Monster truck chase was like: "here whitetrash, this is what you paid to see"...I was offended by this movie because I was 20 and I liked action movies(still do but not stupid ones) and they treated me like an idiot.

[The_Mole]

I'm amazed I haven't seen this one here yet...

SUPER MARIO BROTHERS.

Yes, them.

Totally ruined what I remember to be great computer games.

Now all I want to remember Bob Hoskins for is Roger Rabbit.

[Jmart007]

It's been mentioned before, but I will say it again. GLITTER!!!!!
