Bad Dont See Mo Vies

Ok I saw a place for all the movies you should see, but what about the moves you shouldn't see? Here's where you do that! List 'em, ok?

• or see GoodMovies

OK! DO NOT SEE Not another teen movie ok any movie that starts out with a girl and dildo and her family walkin in the room can only go downhill.... also Head over heels BAD BAD dumb it wasnt a murder mystery or comedy. Make a decision man!- Ugh. Abbi.

• crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

 (man, I didn't even see the WHOLE thing. and it was sooo bad. we muted it
and made our own dialog.)

• Patch Adams.

 (I do NOT like sad movies.)

das all. for now. jessica

Men With Brooms not a good movie as it turns out. Made me slightly ashamed of my canadian heritage... It's about Curling (the sport) but it's poorly written and not good. The End. Adrian

Rosemary's Baby is possibly the worst movie ever. I don't believe that I actually wasted 2 hours and 16 minutes of my life watching that piece of shit.

Hardball and Center Stage and The Fast and the Furious God, those movies sucked so much that I was tempted beyond belief to use the TV cord to hang myself. Either that, or turn it off.

Now wait! I actually like centerstage! But granted I am a dancer and there were cute boys involved. (and Ilia Kulik c'mon Fiona!!) But it was rather poorly acted and scripted I do agree...

• But do you know what? With all of Ilia's ballet training for skating, he didn't do any of his own dancing! And if they had actually acted like that at that school, they'd be out on their asses in about a nanosecond. Sorry. Just... yeah. Poorly scripted, poorly acted, the dancing was allright, but the rest of it made me want to put my foot through the TV to avoid having to watch it. Not that I have any strong feelings about the movie. Hehe

Yes-That is very sad, but true. The script is rather lame in the sense that none of them take it seriously. I just really like the dancing, but you also can go see a ballet for the price of a movie and there you can see real dancers who actually give a shit! good point.... -Abbi

• Yeah...I want to throttle some of those kids! They have no idea how lucky they are to be at that school. Bastards. And yeah to Fiona, that one girl for instance would be out of there so fast...heh. Emma

Emma. That was a really, really, really boring movie. Blah blah blah. It was sooo bad. The end.

-Buzzy

• Castaway is awfulawfulawful.... I watched it on Amtrak, on the way out to camp. Everyone else was smart and went to [try to] get some sleep before it was over. I, on the other hand, did not. Even though the whole time I was thinking "this is so stupid, this is so stupid, when is it going to be OVER?!"...I've heard that it has major religious symbolism but the movie was so drawn out that after a while the only thing that would've made me interested in it was Jesus surfing in on the back of a narwhal. And the ending just sucked. Sometimes really bad movies will be saved by a good ending, but Castaway just...ended. It could've ended with some "well I still have faith in myself" deal, but it just ends with this guy and all you can think is "wow his life sure must've sucked". Who wants to go away from a movie feeling that? -eira

OK, here is Neal's list of movies to avoid:

• Satureday Night Fever just plain sucked, I didn't know a move could be worse then So Bad It's Funny, but this one was
• For Love Of The Game OK, I love Baseball, but I hated this movie, it was almost as if they couldn't figure out weather they wanted to do a Romance, or a Sports flick, it's not worth watching for either.
• anything made by Disney after 1995. (Or maybe I just outgrew that type of movie about then... whatever)

Blair Witch 2. I'm not going to waste too much of my breath on this film. But lordy lordy, did it ever suck ass. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about it at all. So for the love of Pete, Don't watch it! Adrian

I don't really hate a lot of movies, but I think I have much better taste then most people when it comes to the cinema (I do, so don't argue with me) Anything with Jennifer Love Hewitt sucks dick...plain and simple. Babe we know you have tits, but you can't act and quite trying to be Neve Campbell, because she sucks too.

The English Patient...Overfuckingrated. -gen, who could go head to head with ebert any day of the week. Bring It On Bitch!

Umm... You guys are going to kill me but...

• the Matrix

it had a horribly cheesy ending and crappy acting and shitty casting and no I didn't find the plot at all amazing and the end was soooo steriotypical.... -Susannah who just ran to hide from the angry mob

• The plot sucks! They left alot unexplained. (The bad guys didn't make much sense.) And they stole the fighting from Asian movies. (Like Crouching Tiger, Hiden Dragon.) But it has some funny parts. The LHF
• Um, Crouching Tiger was made after The Matrix, but with the same martial arts guy.
• I totally agree with you on that one Susannah! While its hard not to be blown away with the spectacular graphics, if you look at it that's all it was: a movie being propped up by its effects... - Jonah
• And, y'know, the cool sunglasses and tank tops and pants and coats and stuff. ;P Emma
• I agree too... Twas enteraining... but few people seem to notice the crummy acting and the cheeseness of it all. They actually stole the plot from a role playing game called Shadowrun.
• I beleive that The Matrix had allot of potential. It did sort of dive into a little bit of Budha philophy (sp?), (As in the whole world, as far as most of us perceive in an illusion), but we'll discuss that somewhere else. so yeah, could have been really good, but didn't live up to it's potential [1] ---Neal

dude wheres my car....what can i say the name gives it away

I'm not sure if there's actually such a thing as a "bad movie" since we all have different tastes. But I would recommend that certain movies should only ever be watched with friends whom you can talk all the way through the movie with. For example, there's a French movie called "Blue", that I watched a subtitled version of. Its very... not American, in that there wasn't much action and a lot of silences. So the movie was enjoyable because I was watching it with friends, and we talked lots through it... making predictions, guesses, etc. But if I watched it by myself, or with others who didn't want to talk, I'd probably have been bored out of my mind. Expecially because the fingerweaving kept me from FingerWeaving. -Christy

Adrian says: Don't see...

• 8mm (Nicholas Cage officially sells out! yay!) Not even entertaining... Disturbing at best. Jonah can contest to this.
• Question: Because it's disturbing does that make it a bad movie? I thought it was really good (With the exception of the scene where he calls up the daughters mother). What didn't you like about it besides the fact that it was really disturbing? -Zen
• Different strokes for different folks I guess. I personally would not call that movie disturbing in any way aside from the fact that talented and reputable actor Joaquin Phoenix would stoop so low as to be a part of this bomb. If we are to be speaking of disturbing films being good, then I would like to cite such awesome movies as In the Company of Men (genius), and The Clockwork Orange. I personally don't feel that 8mm falls into that category but as I said... - Jonah

• Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon I know, I know, everyone loves it. Well everyone is wrong. It is Really Boring. And the special effects are merely okay. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I mean, it's like an over-long Asian version of Star Wars mixed with Peter PanAND WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
• TopsyTurvy Another "what is the big deal" one... Long and boring. Mike Leigh is usually much better.
• Searching for Bobby Fischer Is that the right title? I saw it a long time ago. At that point I thought it was really bad.
• Titanic Okay, it's not actually BAD, per se, just not very good, but I despise all the hype. And despite what I'd like to think, Leonardo DeCapitated actually can act (see What's Eating Gilbert Grape? God, Johnny Depp is dreamy.). It's just that he needs a SCRIPT.
• Waking Ned Devine One of the most utterly pointless movies I've ever seen. Anyone want to explain to me why I should care?

I'm sure I'll add more later. There are so many. Sigh. Emerie

"Licensed to Drive." They showed it at my driver's ed cuz they thought it would make it more fun. A travesty of the already dubious youthful-pipsqueak-adolescent-boy-who-really-wants-gorgeous-girl-humorously-comes-of-age genre. Made in the 80's but with none of the genuine plastic charm of the era. eulckhgh.

That...that... thing. A recent Brady Bunch movie or something. Oh goodness...it was bad...that's probably the worst way I have ever spent two hours of my life. - Emma

• Are you talking about "A Very Brady Sequel"?? Let's take this outside, pal.

Addition: Practical Magic. Emma

• the Jaws Sequel. Its Horrible! Its almost completely comprised of 'flash-backs' from Jaws. Nyick!
• Time Bandits
• Curse of the Pink Panther (all the rest are pretty damn funny, however)
• The Fly (remake)
• Jack
• Noah's Ark (I despise this movie, it was a TV movie originally)
• all those other ones. g'night ~Danopian, coughing kleenex dependant house-ridden sod~

Oh god, I know I'm going to hate this page *L* Already I see one movie I love on it (Titan AE).

Right now, my list, would be...

• Dude, Where's My Car?
• Cube
• The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
• Welcome to Woop Woop

They're SO bad.. augh..

-Zen

Okay, Zen.... Leave Cube alone already! If you totally discount the lame acting, 100 buck set, and everything else, it comes down to a nifty idea! The concept was cool! And you will never forgive me for making you watch that, will you? Curses! Oh god. I've been beaten. I enjoy the movie. I can't help it. I can't cope. ;-)

As for Woop Woop, although that WAS a lame movie, you have to give it credit for being able to use the line "Part my beef curtains!" with the graceful subtlety, eh? ~*krista*~

Yeah, I loved Titan AE also.... and Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Time Bandits and The Fly... arg

• but...but... do you know how badly Disney messed up the books and the real-life events of Pocahontas and Hunchback?? Victor Hugo must be rolling in his grave! I mean... do you know how it really ends? There's a fire, and they ALL DIE. And Pocahontas was 12. They made her look like a bloody 24-year-old. *takes a deep breath* Okay.. I'm done now

But surely, thats not what determains weather a movie is bad or not... is it??? Oh well, can't you think of any movies that were REALLY BAD before you go picking on disney movies? ;)

JesseBorges

• summer agrees with jesse. there are plenty of disney movies other than those two, and plenty of non disney movies that use a story and change it for entertainment's sake. people also got on disney's case for hunchback being too violent and serious, imagine what they would have said if it had been true to the book. disney can't win either way whenever they go with the real old stories they get accused of tainting kids, and whenever they don't they get accused of spoiling literature. they are just using the stories as inspiration, they never claimed to be making historical replicas of the book. and just on a related sidenote, most disney movies i grew up on are just as "bad" about changing the story as the more recent ones in pinocchio the original book, jiminy cricket is smashed by a mean, sinful pinnochio who is eventually hung. in the little mermaid, ariel kills herself.

How aboot The Blair Witch Project?... Is there anyone here that liked it? or wasn't offended by it?

Actually, I don't think that I have ever seen a horror movie that I have liked(except for the classics).

Star Wars Episode 1 made me embarressed to be a Star Wars fan. There are other movies that did the same thing... The new Dungeons and Dragons movie... I've been playing D for many, many years now, waiting for them to make a movie... and they finaly do... it sucked!

Actually, these days, they certainly make more bad movies then good ones. What a shame... I mean, the best movie I've seen in a movie theater for a looong time was A Hard Days Night... and well, that was made 30 years ago...

But then again... there were many, many bad movies made a long time ago... I mean, look at all the movies that they watch on MST3K...

Ok... I'm going somewhere with this rant... I think... er... wait a sec, nevermind, I'm not.

Oh yeah... go rent Plan 9 From Outer Space... It IS the worst movie all time... actually, it's so bad... that its actually pretty funny.

JesseBorges

Lydia ®'s list of retchid movies

• Hexed (not as bad as plan 9, but still enough to make ya wanna go outside!)
• Unbreakable (okay, the movie was good, and well done.. I'll give it that much. but the story was just to cheesy for my taste)
• Dead Alive (this one isn't even worth seeing)

 that's all I can think of for now.. but I know that there are so much
more.. I'm just too far from my Blockbuster at the moment... I'm in
withdrawl... oh god.. save my soul!

Awful Flicks:

• titanic
• that thing you do (heather shutters)
• the bready bunch (its just so tacky and bla)

thats all i can think of

okay, so like... i though Clerks was one big piece of shit. same with Dumb And Dumber. funny thing is i've gotten soo much grief for my hatred of these two "films". it's like, people enjoy watching people talk about shitting and getting fucked. it's pathetic to me, and i can't see through the vile crudeness of it to actually get into the humour, if there is any that doesn't revolve around procreation or bowel movements. yeah. those are the only two that come to mind that just sorta make me wanna wretch. yours truly.

• holy crap! jenla reminded me.. Man In The Iron Mask. that movie freaking sucked. okay, i'm done.

                                                    -moth

• Repo Man

no..No, don't even think of renting it! -Tessa, who is sniffing a little coz That Thing You Do is on here and she liiiikes that movie. *whine*

Lala. okay list of bad movies. this ought to be long.

• Down To You [summie and rhymi and i saw it together. ew. bad movie.]
• 2001: Space Odessey
• I rather enjoyed 2001 (although it's not accurate historically, or at least won't be in 6 months or so) The book was fer better though. ---Neal
• Sticks and Stones [evil vile and terrible. oh yeah and kristie alley is in it. gag.]
• Clerks [i back moth up on this one. it was sexist and stupid.]
• Jawbreaker
• Saturday Night Fever [sexist, racist, violent, gross. oh yeah and disco. well. disco. yeah.]
• The Man In The Iron Mask

that's it for now. xo jenrose.

[1] Of course, as we all know, the connectic, energy can never be higher then the potential energy (and only ever is once per action), the Boxoffice energy, however, is compleatly unrelated :-)

• The Accidental Tourist (the most boring, pointless, is-there-any-plot?? movie I think I've seen)
• State and Main
• Mystic Pizza (even if it was Julia Roberts' first movie!)(It also has an early appearance of Matt Damon...so maybe you should see this one, if you'd like to see both of them before they got rich and famous and sauve and all....)

The original of any remake you've seen and loved.
