What is the worst movie you've ever seen? Mine's going to have to be this really dumb movie I think is called "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome", or something like that. Horrible, horrible movie there.

"Plan 9 from Outer Space" http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

It's so bad, it's funny!

Borderstone 02-26-2004 04:31 PM

Classic!!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/mad.gif How dare you speak foul of Beatles films!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif Just for that,I'm having you tieds to a chair and made to watch them on a 24 hour loop for the next 8 Days a Week!!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif

Anyhow,worst movie(s) I've seen? I have a lot! I can make an excuse for when I ws 12 or 13 and didn't know better but some later ones I really should have avoided!

Dirty Tricks:With Elliot Gould and Kate Jackson (Plot's to dumb to describe!)

Superfuzz:An Italian actor and Ernest Borgnine fight crime with telekenetic powers. (Poor Ernest!)

Cannonball Run:I like it but I know it's really stupid!

Chu Chu And The Philly Flash!!:Carol Burnette and Alan Arkin! (To dumb for words!)

Cop & 1/2:Burt Reynolds and...need I say more?

Smokey & The Bandit 2:Better than C. Run & Cop & 1/2!

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!:Sylvester Stallone ..eh,again,need I say more?

Oscar:Stallone comedy again.

Demolition Man:Boring action film with Stallone!

..and the very 1st movie I ever saw in a movie house in my life:"Godzilla Vs. Megalon!" (1976) The (thankfully) last Godzilla movie made until 1985 and G.'s only in it for about 20 or 25 mins.! Sheesh! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I give you "Yellow Submarine", and as for "Help!" -shrug- but "A Hard Day's Night" should by no means the worst movie on anybody's list.

TheWatchman 02-26-2004 08:45 PM

Superstar and any comedy with Jim Carey. Oh yeah, never saw a Beatles movie but they must be horrendous.

They just aren't my thing I guess. I find Star Trek to be immeasurably boring. Love to give you the answer you want to hear but can't.

Restless 02-28-2004 10:08 AM

Horse, if you're a "trekkie" of long-standing, shouldn't that make you a "trekker"?

violet Blue Horse 02-28-2004 04:59 PM

In the bad old days before there were Star Trek movies or a second series, Trekkie was a somewhat derogatory name for a Star Trek fan.

These days most wear the title proudly. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I agree. It made no sense whatsoever. But you should've seen the first Mad Max movie, it was even worse.

BILLW 03-01-2004 08:40 PM

The first movie Mad Max and the second which was called The Road Warrior in the USA and Mad Max II elsewhere were wonderful films. They gave Mel Gibson a big boost. DMD3, you should rent these two and watch them, then watch the 3rd and it will make some more sense.

Bill http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Borderstone 03-01-2004 09:40 PM

I thought of another one! Eddie Murphy's "The Distinguished Gentleman" from 1992/3. He's a con-artist and he gets elected to public office! OH! Ha-ha-ha. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/confused.gif NOT!

Speaking of Mel. I was wondering...what the heck happened to his Aussie accent? I know he was born in the US, but he was raised in Australia and in old interviews had a pretty thick down under accent. In recent appearances though, he sounds all 'merican! Wha happened???

Perhaps he's gotten better at speaking American. Who knows?

Worst movie - anything with John Wayne.

Best movie - anything with Katherine Hepburn.

This makes Rooster Cogburn a real dilemma for me!

Kimberly 03-11-2004 07:37 PM

'Requiem to a Dream', horrible movie, had to force myself to finish it. Why, I did? I'll never know
Kimberly

christinefrommichigan 03-16-2004 11:42 AM

English Patient - fell asleep 30 minutes into it.

Punch Drunk Love - very very boring

Dogma - yawn

classicmixdj 03-16-2004 05:36 PM

If he were alive I'd say John Wayne for President of the Good Ole USA. The Duke is King.

Hmmm, come to think of it...I'll still say...The Duke for President...he might actually be better in his current state than those that are in contention.

Borderstone 04-25-2004 04:44 AM

If John Wayne was alive today he'd be pushing age 100! Besides that,some of his views would not sit to well with most people if he had run for Pres. ,,then again,he would've been better than Ron "Jelly Brai....er!!! Bean" Reagan! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Gaby! I'm with you on Katharine Hepburn! Yeah,I own a copy of Rooster Cogburn and it seems to me it should have been called,"My Dinner With Katy"! Long before they catch up with the bad guys who shot her father,they do nothing but converse with eachother. I'm not much for John Wayne but to watch him in this,I can understand why he played "gung-ho" type guys! Along with that one,I've seen all but about 8 or 9 of her films. I've only heard the worst one is,"Break Of Hearts" and given a dumb title like that,I wouldn't be surprised! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Just like I got into GL in 2001,I also discovered (and in some cases re-discovered) Hepburn films. I can honestly say,sometimes,I'd rather watch her acting than a lot of today's actresses.

Kate Hep. was down to earth and didn't fold under pressure from the big studio brass to be more feminine. In other words pose for publicity in gowns and other so-called lady-like attire.

Also,with the exception of Spencer Tracy,with whom she truly shared the screen,she was the main overall focus of her films and even had the bravery to speak her own real life views within the film. "State Of The Union" is the best example of that! She was the first woman not to play weaker or dumber to her male lead.

She once admitted in an interview,"I know I'm not pretty." Maybe not,but at least she was herself in a time where just about every actress had to put on a "show" 24 hours a day. I'm still sad that she didn't make it to 100. She'd have been 97 this May 12th. Been me,later!

I don't know how John Wayne acted in real life but in every movie I ever watched with him in it he was a bulley. Not a very good actor at all. Of course, I might think a bit differently if I knew how he acted in real life.

Borderstone 04-26-2004 12:37 AM

DMD3,if you catch John Wayne on the,"I Love Lucy",re-run where Lucy & Ethel steal his footprints from the Hollywood sidewalk,you get at least a fair idea of what he was really like. Nobody's that big a "jerk" in real life unless their life has been really lousy. He passed on as a film legend so he couldn't have been all that bad. Ben me,later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Gaby!! By the way,I forgot to tell you,tune into Turner Classic Movies on K. Hepburn's birthday May 12th! They're showing a few of her films that day! (I forget how many).

They had over 10 of her films on back in January,7 that I hadn't seen yet,but because I moved in Dec...I had to give up cable TV and I missed them! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/mad.gif I worked all those days anyway. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/frown.gif

I won't miss them this time! Hope you don't either! Been me,Aurevoir! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Gaby 04-26-2004 06:50 AM

Thanks, B.
I can’t get Turner Classic Movies, as I’m not bothered with the satellite channels we get over here and don’t have a dish. I have a digitop box which is bad enough. My daughter has completely taken it over so, every time you walk through the sitting-room you are blasted from one music video channel or another!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif I have bought her a digibox for her bedroom (hoping to banish her and her music there) but my plan didn’t work and she’s still slobbing about on the sofa downstairs!!
Thanks, anyway – it was kind of you.

As you said, KH once admitted in an interview, "I know I'm not pretty." - But, I always thought she was stunning, even as she grew older. Two of my favourite films are The Lion In Winter and On Golden Pond.
I have to admit, I had a little sniffle when she died.

Shazia 04-26-2004 11:16 AM

Borderstone 04-27-2004 03:27 AM

Interesting choice Shazia! In my own opinion though,it's Charlton Heston that's bad in the film and not necessarily the movie itself! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Here's more from me! Divine intervention by heaven's angels alters the lives of two people! Yep that's the plotline in 1983's "Two Of A Kind" with John Travolta (that and most of his 80s movies!) & Olivia Newton John (3 years after the disaster of 1980's Xanadu!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
In which she played a Mythological Greek Muse who comes to life and helps a young man realize his dream of...opening a roller-disco club????? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

"Can't Stop The Music" A 1980
disco musical w/The Village People! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/frown.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif Featuring actor/athlete Bruce Jenner! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/confused.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif Mis-Directed by Nancy Walker (also known as The Bounty paper towel quicker picker upper lady! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/confused.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif
What was everyone "on" when they conceived this devious plot?! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif

We now go from really bad to really boring!
2000's:"Isn't She Great" starring Bette Midler as the woman who wrote the infamous 60s book & movie,"The Valley Of The Dolls!"
This should be an interesting biopic but it's just a mediocre bore! Just rent it (I dare you!) and you'll see what I mean! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Also on the boring front,Jerry Lewis's last slapstick comedy outing,1981's,"Hardly Working" where he plays a guy who constantly gets fired because of his ineptness! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/confused.gif OH! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif Ha-ha-ha-ha...not! Not just the plot but his brand of comedy by that time had become outdated. The film also just doesn't have an energy or excitment to it. "AND I PAID TO SEE IT????!!" Yaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! It's been me,Aurevoir and the balcony's closed! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif
