How about one for worst films? Both films you consider awful, and films you consider awful that you still enjoy despite them being awful?
I'll go first: I love League of Extraordinary Gentlemen even though it's a pretty crap movie (the comic book, less so).
I also really enjoy Jurassic Park 3: I think it took the genre more towards horror/survival, which is a niche that Velociraptors are uniquely geared to inhabit.
Finally, dammit, I liked AvP: Requiem. I thought it had awesome pacing and ambiance and I liked seeing the Mr. Wolf predator operate.
Anything made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer or the Wayans Bothers, also Your Highness.

There was a movie that the wife and I rented from Blockbuster when we were still living in Colorado... Based on the title, and the cover, we seriously thought it was going to be a documentary, flipped over the back, and still thought documentary....
Get home and pop it in. The movie was called "Horrors of War" and it looked like it was some College freshman's class project. All the weapons "special effects" looked like someone put the movie through MS Paint (I wont even give them photoshop, they were that bad) and what it boiled down to was the US had a werewolf soldier (that they didnt really know about) but put this squad of misfit and d-bag soldiers into a Saving Private Ryan style scenario, looking for a German scientist. They end up finding said scientist, but in doing so unwittingly sprung the German trap, which was for them to release SS Zombies on them, which they then had to of course, fight their way out of a basement lab, through a warehouse, and millions of miles (figuratively) of forest, back to friendly lines, also hoping that their werewolf buddy doesnt pop off at the wrong time...
yeah, it sounds like an awesome movie, and it could have been, but the way this one was done, it wasnt.
Another movie, and I cannot find it on DVD (it's that bad), but I absolutely loved growing up was a movie called "Blind Rage"... Basically, a rich criminal boss dude in Malaysia (or thereabouts) wants to rob the biggest, richest bank in the country. So he hires a teacher from a school for the blind, who then finds four uniquely skilled blind dudes to rob the bank.
It's poorly dubbed (and theyre speaking english, which makes no sense how they dont line mouths and words up), poorly acted, and yet so incredibly funny and a great time... Had I a copy of it now, it would definitely be my friday night kick back, have a beer and watch a movie while hammered thing to do.

Mostly anything made during the 70s pretty much annoys the hell out of me. Crappy color, annoying fashions, etc... Its clear everyone was high on something when they made movies back then. Except for Benji, I liked that movie.
Please don't try and bypass the swear filter.

It was excruciatingly bad...I wanted out of there within the first two minutes, and would've walked out (something I have never done) if I hadn't been stuck there with my idiot brother. He conned me into seeing it at a sub-run theater, and even though he bought my ticket, i wanted my $3 back. What makes it even worse is that before watching the movie, I sat down and watched every single episode of the series...and it was amazingly good. This film takes a massive dump on the source material and fans. It's terrible on every level, and the casting was beyond awful...the child actors were so bad that they made Jake Lloyd look like the greatest child actor ever. It's an absolute atrocity.
Movie I loved that was probably gak? Dog Soldiers, it's still my favorite werewolf movie. Pandorum was slammed pretty hard at the box office and ratings from what I remember but I freaking loved it.
Gak movies in general:
Any thing by Judd Aptow.
Anything with Will Ferrel in it.
Anything with Owen Wilson in it.
Anything with Vince Vaughn in it.
Anything in that vein of idiot comedy

You must tell me its name. I need to see this movie no matter how bad it is.
The Last Airbender was painful. I loved the show, then I had to sit through that crap from one of my least liked directors who had the audacity to call himself a 'fan' of the show? Replace all the humor and wit with blank exposition by annoying children? Aaahvatar Aaahng and Soaaka? FFS, it's turning a cartoon into a live action movie, there are actual examples of proper pronunciation, right there.
But it is still not as bad as any of the "_____ Movie" 'Movies'.
Absolutely no redeeming qualities. The fact that there are people who go to and enjoy this utter drek is depressing.
As far as bad movies that you can pump me full of rum and I'll have a good old time ripping apart with friends - Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus (and all movies of a similar vein - Two Headed Shark Attack, Jersey Shore Shark Attack, Frankenfish, Piranha) are all great fun, but the real 'winners' are Birdemic and Black Devil Doll. Yeesh.
And maybe Pig Hunt, but only if you watch it with the directors commentary where he acts like he is making some brilliant commentary on the wars in the middle east.
Rod (Alan Bagh) is a young software salesman living a successful life in Silicon Valley. He meets up with old classmate and aspiring fashion model Nathalie (Whitney Moore) and begins dating her. Things go well for the couple, with Rod receiving a large bonus that he uses to start his own business, while Nathalie is chosen as a Victoria's Secret model. As they grow closer, the couple remains oblivious to signs of something going wrong around them, such as unexplained wildfires and the corpses of diseased birds turning up on beaches.
After consummating their relationship in a motel, Rod and Nathalie wake up to find that their town is under attack from eagles and vultures that spit acid and explode into flames upon striking the ground. Rod and Nathalie escape from the motel by joining up with an ex-Marine named Ramsey (Adam Sessa) and his girlfriend Becky (Catherine Batcha). As they leave town, they rescue two young children, Susan (Janae Caster) and Tony (Colton Osborne), whose parents have been killed by the birds.
The group proceeds to drive from one town to the next, fending off more bird attacks along the way and briefly meeting a scientist named Dr. Jones (Rick Camp) studying the phenomenon. Becky is killed by the birds, and Ramsey, in an attempt to exact revenge, tries to save a busload of tourists. As they leave the bus, Ramsey and the tourists are doused in acid by the birds and all die.
Rod, Nathalie and the kids continue to flee from the birds, driving into a forest where they briefly meet a "Tree Hugger"/Tom Hill (Stephen Gustavson), who explains to them that the birds have only been targeting gas stations and cars and that the attacks are the result of global warming. The quartet ultimately settles on a small beach, where Rod fishes for dinner. As they prepare to eat, they are attacked by the birds, which are suddenly—and for no explained reason—chased away by doves. The film ends as Rod, Nathalie and the kids watch the birds fly off into the sunset.
Really, it's just a reakky bad attempt at an action movie. It does feature Carice van Houten who gets naked every 5 minutes though, so it's not that bad.
Terrible movies:
Batman and Robin

Star Wars episode 1

It's in the post but the name of the movie was "Horrors of War"
Other than Krull I liked all those movies. They did a lot with small budgets.
Dragonslayer has the best dragon evah! Unless Smaug turns out ot be awesome.
Children, Children,
You haven't even gotten close to the Worst Film of All Time.
The previously mentioned films are undoubtedly bad but for the worst ever you have to go back to 1974...
... and witness the Sean Connery abomination that is....
...ZARDOZ
Highlights:
-Barbarians in the above costume slaughtering roving bands of former businessmen.
-An artificial inteligence housed in a giant flying head
-Hippy love children who live forever... until they don't.
-Long meaningless banter in an english villa
It's also the film that gave us this most memorable quote:
Zardoz: The Penis is evil! The Penis shoots Seeds, and makes new Life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the Gun shoots Death and purifies the Earth of the filth of Brutals. Go forth, and kill! Zardoz has spoken.
This thread will no doubt continue, but I think we all know which movie is worst now.
Also, my apologies for going against the spirit of the OP and suggesting a film so bad that no one (not even myself) could like it.
Top Gun was not bad. It was not the best movie ever, but it was entertaining.
@Eilif Zardoz was not the worst film ever. It is probably close, but The worst film ever made is so bad that my friends and I try to get other people to watch it by telling them it is a fantastic movie. Because it was so bad we want to think that we were not the only ones that have had to experience the excrement that was The Ice Storm.
I think people are confusing in this thread, poorly made and truly horrible movies (Combat Shock and Birddemic),with well/okay made but bad movies (Twilight/Eragon) and great/good/okay movies they don't like (Zardoz, Krull, Avengers).
In order to be the worst movie, I think the movie has to be just irredeemable in anyone's eyes. It has to actually pain the observer. If we were going to be scientific, we would have to gather movies in the first category and then sit down and watch them to see which ones created the most physical/mental distress.

The movie was too action orientated. It had cardboard cut outs of the characters playing them, Loki was terribly played and it had little to no character development. It is as bad as Batman and Robin. I like plenty of good movies e.g. Shawshank Redemption and 13th Warrior. The Avengers also had a pretty gakky atmosphere. Thor was too sci-fi for my liking and Hulk should of been based off comic hulk.
I believe good sir you have been served to by an Australian man.

So what you are saying is that you did not like it. It can't objectively be called the worst film since a great portion of the populace loved it. It could be your least favorite film, however.

I suppose you can say that. At least you can agree Batman and Robin is bad, right?
Most awful film ever: Transformers 3 - my wife and I only managed to watch about 20 minutes before giving up and watching the original animated film (we were expecting it to be bad since we would have stopped watching the second film part way though but had paid to see it at the cinema so stuck through it ).
Most awesful film ever: Flash Gordon. So crap it is fantastic. And amazing music by Queen!
I think people underestimate some of the true worst movies. While I agree that GIJOE wasn't good, it was far from the worst. Killer Tomatoes is a classic and although bad is so bad it is good, etc.

I really don't understand why Speed Racer is "bad"
I've asked around and people seem to all like it alright, but they all think everyone else hates it.
Are we all just conforming so hard that we think we're the only ones? That movie was a blast. It was gorgeous and the story structure was impeccable. It had perfect greek narrative patterns. The finale shows each character's growth one by one in reverse order of their being shown at the beginning. The climax resolves man vs self, man vs man and man vs machine in the course of like 10 seconds and it's just cathartic as all hell.
I really don't get what's bad about it at all. Maybe people are stuck thinking about it like a kid's movie. Just get that idea out of your head and watch it as a human being instead.
Isn't One Hour Photo that movie with Robin Williams as a psychopath? That wasn't a bad movie. I hate Robin Williams - something about him I just can't stand - but I thought there were 3 movies he utterly killed it in, and that was one of them (with the other two being Death to Smoochy and Good Will Hunting).

Did you see Insomnia (US version) by any chance? He was pretty good in that as well. Playing a creepy guy trying to act normal is a good fit for him.

Huh. You know, I did see that film, but I don't even remember him being in it. I do remember Al Pacino, and thinking it was OK but not great. I can't remember a single other person who was in it, actually, or the plot at all - Antarctic something maybe.

When it comes to godawful movies, you can't go without that piece of utter drek Battlefield: Earth with Travolta and Whitaker. God, that was just vile.
There was also the Dungeons and Dragons movie. Bad, terrible, awful, and insulting. AND A WAYANS BROTHER! AUGH!
Highlander 2, 3, and 4 were crimes against modern cinema.

The Heinlein fanatic in me is ashamed to admit that I file that particularly movie in the guilty pleasure bin. The truly bad ones are the sequels. My dad rented the first sequel, and I decided to be objective and give it a shot...for all of 20 seconds before I couldn't take it any more. But it's not Last Airbender bad, because it didn't have a $150 mil budget.
I thought Napoleon Dynamite was pretty awful and it wasn't even fun.
I'll offer up all of Uwe Boll's film adaptations of video games, though I enjoy them for some bizarre reason (going so far as to own House of the Dead on DVD). I mean, don't get me wrong, they're abysmal but I love watching them.
I too have only ever walked on a single film in a theater. In my case, it was Transformers 2. There were several factors - it was hot in the theater, there was a smelly dirty diaper baby in there somewhere - but the stinker on the screen was 80% of the reason.
I feel that this is so bad it requires warning against:
Pirana and its offspring pirana 3DD. The only good thing about these dreadful abominations is the sheer amount of hot naked chicks. And even then this is not in any way a redeeming characteristic.
also this part of AVP 2 Requriem
I mean this was just overkill in the extreme and quite frankly i didnt find it in any way contributing to the film apart from to put some rather excessive violence into the film and in a way its quite perverse. Also the bit where the predalien queen is staring at the babys in the hospital, i mean its a tiny scene and was it really nessecary?
And of course Lesbian Vampire Killers. They had a story line going there but as with Bitch Slap they just scrapped it for lesbian sex, striptease and erotic scenes. Frankly if i wanted porn i would go to porn hub. coinsidentially Both these films are made by the same crappy company.
Starcrash is a 1978 Italian Sci-fi movie with Caroline Munro, Marjoe Gortner and David Hasselhoff.
Italian SF and Hasselhoff should be enough of a warning.
Not quite as good as Battle beyond the stars, though.
I've never walked out of a cinema.
I have fallen asleep during several movies though.
I loathe the lord of the rings movies (and PJ's King Kong as well). I've seen glaciers with better pacing. And story? Puh-leeze, I've read better in the eddas. So tedious I fell asleep. It's not a duration thing, either. I can watch any other 3 hour movie and not fall asleep. Even Alan Smithee's extended cut of David Lynch's Dune didn't put me to sleep but it was pretty bad.
Fave bad movies are:
David Lynch's Dune (soundtrack by TOTO, designs by many of THE epic concept artists.)
Transformers (I wasn't part of the generation that deified the cartoon series in the 80s) - I like them.
Starship Troopers
Judge Dredd (the stallone one, not the new Urban one.)
Equilibrium
Dog Soldiers.

Skyline - I almost walked out of that one, but the nuke dogfight is kinda good in it.
Indiana jones and the crystal skull - GO AWAY LAWS OF PHYSICS.
Avatar Definetly. I used to watch the Anime as a young un and when i saw this.... Just no. Also its a massive sequel baiter with no sequel....... WHY!!!!
Skylines not actually that bad-nooooo please dont hit me!
And there are only 3 Indiana Jones films
Also i have to mention Sexy Killer-my reaction was a mix of "ooh hottie" and then "wtf" then "WTF" and eventually "WTF" before an eventual "oooookkkkkkaaaayyy then.................."
To be fair, its kinda clear that the film is meant to be bad, and not at all meant to be taken seriously. Doesn't necessarily make it watchable, but it does, in my eyes at least, make it more tolerable than something like Twilight or Avatar (either one), which are meant to be "good."
Also, FDR fighting nazi werewolves. I like this concept.
Also "Troll 2", "Manos, the hand of fate" and "Alex l'ariete" are possibly the worst movies ever made...
If you talk about High-budget hollywood productions... well "Battle for Los Angeles" wins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9otTzrO9Bfw Gosh... this is a seriously awful movie... I hated it from the start to the end
Oh man, I forgot about that movie. I tried watching that with a group of friends, and I think we only made it 20 minutes before shuting it off...Flippin' Uwe Boll...
I know that Birdemic and Plan 9 from Outer Space were some pretty terrible movies...but they were super low-budget B(maybe even "C")-movies. When I think of these "worst movies" threads, I try to think of the movies that received proper funding and/or big name actors; you know, the movies that were supposed to be good. Just my two cents worth...

I'm pretty sure old Ed expected Plan 9 to be good, but he just couldn't pull it off.
So, where do you draw the line at "proper funding" ro "big name" actors? Would a film like Bloodrayne qualify? How about Ultraviolet? Transformers 2? Just curious where to draw the line so I can give some more thought son this topic.

I'm talking about actors that can be readily recognized (ie Michael Madsen in "Bloodrayne" or Jason Statham in "In the Name of the King"). And funding wise, movies getting multi-millions with of funding, and decent theatrical release.
Why has no one mentioned The Happening? It could have been good; big budget, decent cast, competent (if repetative) director.....
It has to be one of the most dull films that I have ever seen and the twist is utterly idiotic. I made the mistake of buying the DVD and to this day it is the only DVD that I have ever thrown away.
At least the dross that the SyFi channel uses to fill up its schedules knows its dross which often elevates it into terrigood territory.
There are definitely some worthy contenders so far, my personal nominees are;
Razorblade Smile (live action Manga) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159693/?ref_=sr_6 "A 19th century woman, who has become one of the undead, acts as a hired killer in modern times. When she starts knocking off part of the elite businessmen, "The Illuminati", who secretly are taking over business and the government, she becomes the target of a hired Scotland Yard detective. Of course, the head of "The Illuminati" is the vampire who first gave her immortality"
Avengers - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118661/?ref_=sr_4 "Two British agents (John Steed and Emma Peel) team up to stop Sir August De Wynter from destroying the world with a weather changing machine"
Ice Spiders - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0840304/?ref_=sr_1 "When a young ski team training for the Olympics arrives at the remote and isolated Lost Mountain Ski Resort to focus on training, they're thrilled to find a retired Olympic skier is there to help them train. But their plans are halted when a scientist working at a nearby government lab arrives with the horrifying news that a top secret Government project has produced giant spiders and they have escaped, killing and eating everything in sight"
Jennifer's Body - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1131734/?ref_=sr_1 "A newly possessed cheerleader turns into a killer who specializes in offing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror?"
Act of valor. The action scenes were ok, but the acting was miserable. One of the two characters with any sort of background was an expecting father, so we all knew he would die. All of the "personal" conversations were extremely awkward and terribly worded.
The three stooges reboot made me want to cry as well.
WHAT? NO MENTION OF THE WORST FILM IN HISTORY?!?!? MY WORD!?
The mere fact this movie existed..... I watched it as a kid. My friend watched it as a kid. My friend thought IS THIS WHAT MOVIES ARE ALL LIKE? And has yet to get to a movie theater since he was 4....
I thought this is a piece of absolute gak.
The Troll movies are hilariously bad.
Dare Devil. Oh dear this movie made me want to burn my eyes out with a hot poker.
Don't even get me started on Pluto Nash.
The entire twilight saga. No the entire saga.
LOTR THE CARTOON. Man. These movies were bad. (there have been four different versions of LOTR movies, three of which were cartoons, that came out long before the LOTR movies by peter jackson came out.

I'd forgotten about that one It was just establishing a long continuing line of video game/movie crossovers being absolute gak
Also, another one in the same category of worst movie ever.
If you want to see aweful, watch these, skeleton man has 2.2 on IMDB, Dracula 3000 a 2. There is a good reason for this. I watched dracula 3000 with a friend. We broke the disc, then lit it on fire and threw it off a bridge into a river.
EDIT: Apparently the movie got a 91% approval rating, according to Rotten Tomatoes. I no longer trust movie critics.
Ah i remember this. We where forced to watch it in school. Never again...... Nonononono never *shudder*

Agreed with on the LOTR cartoons. 10 minutes of watching frodo stare at a ringwraith galloping towards him through....... Well some form of tunnel is apparently there but i thought it was a forest. And as for Twitlight well dont even start me..... Im a vampire and ive never sparkled in the sun.

Regrettably as a game reviewer and an aspiring game designer/writer.
Almost all of the franchise is a great example of poor writing and character development. Don't get me wrong. I loved the hell out of RE4 which was a step up. But every game after that was sort of a step down from what could be a killer game series. RE1-3 were okay. BUT. RE4 was great and easy to pick up. RE5 and RE6 are regrettably bad.
The movies are going to take aspects of the game and try to expand on it. RE movies fall flat on their face and are dragged by hundreds of zombies.

I liked the movies, except for the last one. That last one was EPICALLY bad. (and they're making another one... )
As to the game? RE4 and 5 I think were great. I just can't get into #6.
Resident evil 4 was definitely the best, and 5 was good for shooter action. I just find the acting and storyline in the movies to be terrible. Even if the characters are a bit underdeveloped, a new RE movie revolving around the first game and the mansion would probably be a good horror movie imho
Color Sgt. Kell wrote: Oh I forgot to mention any and all of the resident evil movies are horrible, including the cgi ones. How could so good of a game go so bad? If they would have just stuck to the storyline, instead of creating "alice" they would have been great.
Regrettably as a game reviewer and an aspiring game designer/writer.
Almost all of the franchise is a great example of poor writing and character development. Don't get me wrong. I loved the hell out of RE4 which was a step up. But every game after that was sort of a step down from what could be a killer game series. RE1-3 were okay. BUT. RE4 was great and easy to pick up. RE5 and RE6 are regrettably bad.

Offtopic: Re5 was a carbon copy of RE4. Same game just different setting, same events too, same plot twists. minus Ashley running in-front of my killer 7. RE4 had more replay ability
On this topic of the worst films.
The Adventures of Pluto Nash
In total this is the greatest catastrophic event in Film history. In the box office...
It cost 100 Million Dollars..... IT MADE
7 Million Dollars in the box office........
Why? It was a terrible terrible movie.
ON the subject of the troll Movies.
The Main Characters Name is Harry Potter. His son Harry Potter Junior. Maybe this is where the entire Harry Potter Series came from!?!?!??!
It could easily be argued into the top ten most boring films of ALL time. Worst yet, it was "supposed" to be geared towards kids (toys and happy meals and such) and in the near 3 hours, I can honestly only remember about 7 minutes of it. Such a gak-tacular movie.
Oh, I get that it's a comedy. It's just a very . . . how shall we put it . . . BAD. Half the jokes don't even make sense. The plot is bad. Let's work as a team guys, lol suckaz I'm going to kung fu this ball into the net from the half way line.
Rotten Tomatoes takes ratings from critics and gives a movie a score based on whether the review was positive, right? So 91% of critics gave this piece of horse dung a positive review?
EDIT: more evidence:
Hey guys, I'm going to kick the ball and create a tornado! Great idea yeah?

The number on the left is critics and the number on the right is randoms. Notice that the randoms still gave it 82% positive reviews.
It's a fun, goofy movie. Nobody actually thinks you can kick a tornado with a soccer ball.
Maybe my Chinese teacher telling us that it's a marvel in cinema didn't exactly help my view. Regardless, it seems from reviews that you either loved it or hated it, the majority loving it, and the rest hating it. I fall into the latter category.
Yeah, it's kind of like saying "SPY KIDS? Who would make kids into spies? That makes no sense, it wouldn't go well at all. Kids would make TERRIBLE spies"
But nobody cares because they were too busy enjoying a fun movie.
I laugh at anyone who puts Catwoman on their list. It certainly won't ever be confused as one of the best, but if you think it is one of the worst, you lived a very sheltered life.
Whats wrong with Catwoman? Personaly i loved the movie and watched it 3 times in a row
My problem with that movie is they somehow made me not want to watch Halle Berry in a catsuit...I didn't think that was possible.
You poor, poor man

I like bad films - as long as they have
Special Effects
Comedy
Big Monsters
Bad taste and Braindead (Peter Jacksons early work...haha!) are awful - but funny because of it.
Catwoman just bored me. For the same reason as I don't like the fantastic four.I was just completely non-gripped.
The worst films for me are the ones where I just plain couldn't care less about even finishing watching it.
I agree. Dumb and bad are different things. There are a lot of big dumb movies that are still fun and awesome. That's why Manos and the Room are so bad, for instance. They're boring and slow.
PredaKhaine wrote: Fargo is another one. I can see why it's supposed to be a good film, it's just so boring.
I watched that once with housemates who said it was one of the best films of all time. All I can remember is "Ya?", "Ya", "Ya!" and the burning desire to get back the time that I wasted watching it.
80s rip off of raiders of the lost arc were a 12 year old boy converts his VCR into a laser, procedes to kill his hamster with it and then a load of zombies turn up and he procedes to wipe them out.....
swifty followed by:
Star Crash
with an early appearance by the Hoff in a star wars rip off featuring spaceships made out of kitchen utensils...
Breotan wrote: I laugh at anyone who puts Catwoman on their list. It certainly won't ever be confused as one of the best, but if you think it is one of the worst, you lived a very sheltered life.
Word. I laughed my way through that with ease.
Try something like:
The Undertaker and his Pals
Yes, this was released into actual drive-in theatres! Ahhh, the late 60's and early 70's.
I'm also surprised no one has mentioned tha Apple. However, I think The Apple is AWESOME, even though there is no doubt this is a bad, bad movie.
Edit: I'm glad I'm not the only one who agress that Starcrash has merit as the worst. I have tried to watch that film several times, and everytime i fall asleep. It's like Nyquil to me.
Oh come on! Starship Troopers should have been named something else but is still an amusing and fun movie.
I agree, the first one was a great deal of fun - the 2nd and especially 3rd films might well qualify though!
Hmm, difficult to choose worst movies - I'll go for the ones that were most disappointing (I mean.. you expect something like Critters 6 to be crap, so it ends up being entertaining) so on that basis:
Most disappointing movies:
- Terminator 3. The 2nd movie was the seminal film to my friends and I when were growing up - we had it on VHS, the one with arnie on the bike, shotgun in hand, on the cover - and the tape broke it got watched so many times. The film is just a work of art. Fast forward 12 years or whatever it was for the 3rd film, the same friends and I are stood queueing outside the cinema humming the Brad Fiedl theme tune for the first night of showing. A few hours later we had all written a vow in blood to murder Jonathan Mostow in cold blood if we ever saw him on the street
- the first Aliens Vs. Predator film. Same again, managed to kill two franchises that were watched obsessively through my early teenage years.
- Quantum of Solace - loved Casino Royale, this one just seemed like a massive cash in (which it was).

I
Why the hate on Stephen Chow... don't you know Kung Fu Hustle is epically awesome?
Man, so many haters of Kungfu Komedy. I'll bet you guys didn't like Kung Pow: Enter the Fist either.
I'll say it. I enjoyed Kung Fu hustle, and loved Shao-lin soccer although the singing could very, very easily have been left on the cutting room floor (except the kungfu karaoke scene).
As a person from that region, let me assure you. That was entirely accurate dialogue.
I love when I travel places and people think we all talk like that. Then I ham up the accent just to strengthen the stereotype.
------
If we are going to talk about worst movies subjectively - The Phantom Menace. No movie before or since have I so eagerly anticipated only to be met with soul crushing disappointment. Crystal Skull was within spitting distance, but I had the callouses built up from the prequels.
As for Worst Movie that I Secretly Like: Big Trouble in Little China. Nothing about this movie is good. The acting is poor, the special effects aren't special, and the plot was silly.

Bah, Big Trouble in Little China is cinema gold! Don't you deny it!
And I remembered another terrible one! Double Dragon! Jeez, this was so painful to watch...
Vampires allying with humans to fight zombie vampires, bad story line, even worse character background, stupid ideas, etc makes this one a never even think of for any good film fan.
That looks like exactly the sort of c**p that I enjoy. It's got all 3 criteria - special effects, monsters and I'm going to find it funny Might have to hunt this one down.
And what Street Fighter? (live action)
I can never work out if that film is funny to the point of genius or just complete twaddle.

It does have some awesome quotes though.
Spoiler:
M:Bison on the subject of killing Chun Li's father
"For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."
Bison: Ah! Doctor Dhalsim! How is your research today?
Dr. Dhalsim: The same. Warped. Corrupted. My science twisted to serve perversion instead of peace.
Bison: Tell you what. After I've crushed my enemies, we'll see about getting you published. That should cheer you up, hmm?
Bison: [to his architect] The temple above us was the wonder of the ancient world. Bisonopolis shall be the wonder of my world. But I think the food court should be larger. All the big franchises will want in.
Zangief: General, vhat about them?
[indicates Honda and Balrog]
Bison: Take them to the interrogation room. They will talk... or they will die.
[to Sagat]
Bison: Preferably both.
[to Zangief]
Bison: Take the, uh... journalist to my chambers. We have decided to grant her a private interview.
Ken: [to Chung-Li after having been spit on] You're gonna dehydrate yourself.
Victor Sagat: Guile? Alive!
Bison: Of course! His death was designed to ingraitate his spies with you!
[mockingly covers one eye]
Bison: I guess you didn't SEE that, did you?
Zangief: Quick, change the channel!
Bison: I hoped to meet Guile face-to-face on the battlefield, where we could engage each other in unarmed combat. Then I would snap his spine. But why? Why do they still call me a warlord? And mad? All I want to do is to create the perfect genetic soldier. Not for power, not for evil, but for good. Carlo Blanco shall be the first of many who shall march out of my laboratory and crush every adversary, every creed, every nation! Until the world is in the loving grip of the Pax Bisonica. And peace will reign and all humanity shall bow to me in humble gratitude.
Zangief: That vas beautiful boss!
Bison: Merely educational software. Why does he find it disturbing?
Dr. Dhalsim: Because, unlike you, he's not psychotic.
Bison: Game Over!
Zangief: General Bison is a bad guy? If you know then why do you work for him?
Dee Jay: Because he paid me a freakin fortune, Man! If you know what's good for you you'll save your own ass!
Zangief: ...you got paid?
Victor Sagat: Is this a joke? This money isn't even worth the paper it's printed on!
Bison: On the contrary. Every Bison dollar will be worth five British pounds. That is the exchange rate that the bank of England will implement after I kidnap their queen.
Bison: All I want to do is rule the world, is that so much to ask?

Seriously... Street Fighter was epic because of Bison... the other parts? Not so much.

I actually met Tommy Wiseau and he autographed my copy of The Room. I'm not sure if he was on a LOT of drugs, or if he's just like that.
@Breotan: Gymkata is amazing because its finale involves a Kurt Thomas killing a man with an Olympic floor routine. And it looks just like you're currently imagining.

Terrible papier-mache baby? Check.
Vietnam flashback scenes filmed in the marshes of Long Island, with no budget and extras recruited from the asian bodega on the corner? Check.
Pointless awful terribly-acted 10+ minute scene of two mindless junkies arguing under an overpass? Check.

The third prequel, only time I've ever had a vocal outburst in a movie theatre. I actually stood up and shouted "feth you Lucas! feth you!".
Now, not counting the prequels, my top to selections would be.
Absolute worse: Freddy Got Fingered
Absolute worse to get drunk with and laugh at with your friends: Commando

I don't think it's Rogger Moore's fault those films are bad, I mean no on could have turned the scripts they had into a masterpiece.
It's actually quite a fun film - I'd recommend watching it. The reason I'm putting it here is the box/packaging.
Nowhere does it state anywhere on any external part of this dvd that this is a spanish film and IT'S IN SPANISH.
I don't mind watching foreign language films (Not keen on dubbing unless it's truly awful/comedic, but subtitles are fine by me) I would've just liked to know beforehand.

It's a bit more obvious now - I now know to check the actors names on the back. That would've been a bit of a clue...
The rule is something like a Ninja's effectiveness is directly inverse the the number of Ninja present.
I.e. the more Ninjas the worse each one is at Ninja stuff, and the entire groups abilities degrade to a point worse than a single Ninja operating alone.
Worst film I've ever seen? Hmmmm, possibly 'Cradle 2 The Grave' or 'Ghosts Of Mars'... Both appalling wastes of money and time. They also prove that rappers just cannot act. At all. With the possible exception of Will Smith, but that's pushing it.
Films I love but everyone I know hates? 'Postal' is up there, also 'Silent Hill'. Both bad, but any film that has a cat used as a makeshift silencer is quality in my book....

Having very recently sat through Salo, I'm going to have to tip my hat to that. On an objective, technical level, it's incredibly well made. The symbolism it brings up is superb, and it's something you could really talk about. But that said, it's also the most offensive, painful thing I've ever had to watch, and I hate it.

Idk, man. Roger Moore is REALLY wooden in those movies. He has no charisma. A good actor can make a bad script fun, but he doesn't do it.
It was so bad the director had to try the same story twice more to get it right with The Girl Who Lept Through Time and Summer Wars, which are both WAY better.

"I want you to go on a mission, 007..." Moore: 0 - 0
Goddamn awful, but my second favourite Star Trek movie, as it's just so damned funny (my favourite being the JJ Abrams reboot, which was probably the first time Star Trek has actually been good).
