Try reading......ALL 3 BOOKS!!!! READ THEM!!!! It takes longer and the suffering is dramatically elongated to infinity.......cause I payed for the trilogy set........and I was going to read them..........and I did.
No one else would take them off of me afterwards. Now I know why. :rolleyes:
I read all of them loooong before the movies (ok, maybe around the time of that animated movie from before the invention of the wheel) & the hobbit on top of it. Unlike the movie trilogy not 3x (1x regular & 2x Extended cut) so I'm still going with the LOTR movies being the worst of all times. Also they are movies, the others are books. Maybe I mention them in a future "worst books ever read" thread.
It is more popular than many others mentioned here so it must be the worst!
Whats that? Did you not read the other posts? This is about trashing mostly popular movies and not actually the worst movies (which in that case your post and the one above you are the first I actually believe in to be serious ).
Wait, you actually think Battlefield Earth and Howling 2 are actually good? Or popular?

BF:E is probably infamous popular. While not being a fan of Scientology related stuff it has some entertaining moments & I did not felt the urge to join the fight against galactic overlord Xenu (Or however those Nutjobs spell it) afterwards.
H2 was a typical 80s B movie. Faaaaaaaaaaaaar away from the original but an awesome get drunk with friends movie.
Bouth still miles away from the "WORST" pits of cinematic horrors.

Interesting, because both made me feel physically sick (especially that bizarre werewolf orgy scene in Howling 2). No other film has done that to me before. I can at least laugh at a movie like Attack of the the Eye Creatures.
If you're looking for truly the worst film of all time, it must have NONE of that. It has to rob you of your soul, burn it before your eyes, mix the ashes with your tears and then leave you with nothing but dark and disturbing questions that can only hope to be answered by turning to the philosophy of absurdism.
Seven Pounds.
I find absolutely zero redeeming in that movie's existence.
Made worse by incredibly false advertising that made it look like it was going to be an inspirational movie. Instead it was all gloom and death and gloom and death and an ending that I'm pretty sure someone thought was all "deep" and sure to get an Academy Award. I'm pretty sure it was written by that author who was narrating Will Farrell's life in the one movie of his I am actually proud to watch and own, which is Stranger Than Fiction. (STF actually kinda captures my own philosophy on writing and stories. O_O)
If it hadn't been for the fact that my ride wasn't leaving the theater, I would've gotten up and walked out.
(I actually had a fairly similar emotional reaction to Gravity, compared to a lot of people, though in that one the effects were technically interesting--the actual movie plot felt was just unrelenting doom and depression and frankly I almost wanted the lead character to just die so the damn thing would END. I seriously got "peril burnout" after the first couple of incidents.)
The Village also sucked pretty bad, though at least in THAT one I had fun MST3King it right there in the theater with two of my best friends at the time (I am sure a lot of the other moviegoers hated us but it made the movie tolerable), AND I was sufficiently impressed with violinist Hilary Hahn, who starred on the film score, that I had to go out and buy the CD immediately.

I was actually more concerned about Gravity setting back space development for decades in that movie rather than caring about who lived or died. It seemed like that movie had a vendetta against space development.
I went opening night to Aliens 3. I've never seen an audience anywhere else so quiet and depressed at film's end.
I'm not sure from the stock of films I've seen what I would call the worst. I could say the most boring action film I ever saw was probably Firefox. My high school senior class had an all night movie marathon and it put most of the class to sleep.
I've never seen it but I've heard Leonard Part 6 was a wretched stinker. Cosby actually warned audiences away from his own film it was so bad.
the wicker man, starring nicolas cage.
what a travesty that was. the original 1973 version that starred edward woodward is a cult classic, and for good reason. cages version pretty much shat all over the entire premise of the original in every way. when cage started punching out women the bile started rising in my throat.
what is most annoying is that so many people went to see this TRIBBLE of a film with no knowledge of its iconic roots; the original film with an ending so shocking and disgusting it disturbed. nowadays when you say 'wicker man' most people recall a super crappy nicolas cage movie. thanks for that.
Crashdragon, I'v watched both Sharknado movies multiple times and loved them. They're so bad they're hilarious. Kind of like how Pacific Rim is so dumb it's awesome, Sharknado is so bad it's good.
Now...
Dragonball: Evolution was one giant insult to everything Japanese. The only other contender for worst cartoon adaptation (besides the Last Airbender movie, FU M Night Shaymalan, FU).
Battlefield Earth is not a movie and I refuse to watch it even on bootleg, as with everything L Ron Hubbard. Life is too short for bad sci-fi written by a cult leader.
Manos: The Hands of Fate...oh, god, I love that one! It's so terrible!
Plan 9 from Outer Space...The Giant Claw...some of the cheaper kaiju movies...these were just generic bad horror movies, the main difference from the classic monster and horror movies being that the crappy special effects were unbelievable rather than creepy.
I'm also going to nominate every movie after Star Wars that involved a white farm boy learning to believe in himself. Why can't it be a black marine with PTSD? Why can't it be an Inuit girl? Why can't it be an intersex Native American? WHY DOES EVERY DAMN YOUNG ADULT/SF-F MOVIE HAVE A WHITE KID LEARNING TO BELIEVE IN HIMSELF AS THE CENTRAL PLOT POINT???? WHY DOES EVERY YA MOVIE WITH A FEMALE PROTAGONIST ALWAYS HAVE HER BE WHITE AND ALWAYS SADDLE HER WITH A BOYFRIEND AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY?????
I get SUPER mad about that, especially after Avatar: The Last Airbender proved that the coming-of-age story of a bisexual Inuit-analogue girl with tacnuke-level powers will draw the crowds. That's the same franchise that turned a blind Vietnamese-analogue 12-year-old girl into a fan-favorite incarnation of badassery. The same franchise that, before M Night Sh*ts-upon-good-things changed it, had an Inuit-analogue girl make an inspiring speech to encourage people to fight an analogue of Imperial Japan. (Shaymassh*le turned the lines over to the white kid he replaced Aang with)

Where the hell is my diversity? Seriously!
Uh... Worffan, the reason why romance movies involve two beutiful white people is due to the fact that thats how people picture them, as young, white, pretty, people. Now do we want to see a romantic movie involving some fat, old, ugly black woman falling in love with some fat, old, ugly, black man? (Note: I am not trying to be racist, this is mearly fact and common sense) No. Thats why it two young white kids worffan.

A fair litmus test: If you find yourself saying/typing these words, odds are good that you're being racist, whether you mean to be or not.
You want to know the real reason all those romance movies involve beautiful young white people? Well, the "beautiful young" part is pretty self-explanatory; I've only ever seen like three good romance movies involving anyone over the age of about thirty (Grumpy Old Men, As Good As It Gets, and Under a Tuscan Sun). Why white? Because Hollywood is big on institutional racism; they don't see it themselves, of course, any more than a fish is aware of water, but casting agents seem to have trouble seeing actors "of color" (don't care for the euphemism, but it's as all-inclusive as I can come up with) as just normal people. If you're black, Native American, Hispanic, Inuit, whatever, and you're in a movie, your character has to be troubled, with a dark and possibly mysterious past. Also, historically (although they're getting better about this) couples have always been color-matched - if there was, say, a black man dating a Vietnamese woman, it was the focus of drama and by the end either they would be standing together in the face of a disapproving society (where society in the real world, outside a few pockets of outliers, couldn't care less), or the romance would be revealed as weak and they'd be paired with someone chromatically homogenous, or one of them would be dead.
Personally, I'd like to see a movie with Gabrielle Union as the female lead and, say, Chris Pratt as the male lead, but that's at least as much because I just like looking at Gabrielle Union as anything else.

My set had the Trilogy broken up into 2 books each, so it was twice as hard to get thru them .
1 down, 5 to go ...oh merde.
Edit: I'd like to nominate any sequel to "Weekend at Bernies", and of course the SW prequels.
Thanks George, you made Darth Vader into Baby Jesus.... Facepalm for infinity.

Oh and I got through three chapters of "the Hobbit" before I lost the will to breathe I never touched another Tolkein book. (not a fan of the films - any version - either)

It's "common sense" that people only want to see a white romance onscreen?? I can't even wrap my mind around this one.
People probably want to see attractive actors, but those come in ALL types.

My dad always said the worst movie he'd ever seen was "Ishtar." Never seen it myself, but the Siskel and Ebert review is pretty funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqvkoEnCDlA
For myself, the worst movie I've seen is a tie between Transformers 2 and Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. As a rule I don't walk out of movies, but I sure wanted to with those.
Popeye, why could you do this to us Robin, you deserved better.

Zoe Saldana. George Takei. Idris Elba's pecs. Nicelle Nichols. Chiwetel Ejiofor is considered attractive by a lot of people in addition to being about the greatest actor in the world, on par with Sir Patrick Stewart, David Tennant, and Sir Ian McKellen. The Rock is...he's the Rock, he has charisma out his ears.
Plenty of hot/charismatic non-Caucasians out there.
Obviously. I'd say my favorites on appearance alone tend to come from either Asia or the Mediterranean coastal area, especially moving towards Greece, Turkey, and the Levant, but I can recognize attractiveness in a lot of diverse types.

JJcrap Trek 2 - magic khan blood, a space suit that just happens to fail to break open going through a debris field at high speed. a vulcan in a volcano pit with such heat and no protection from it and somehow comes out without a scrach, that stupid khan earth-qo'nos transporter.
one of the worst movies ever made in my opinion. there are a few really rotten stinkers i have watched in my time, but this ranks right up there as one of the worst ever.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
