Which is the worst movie ever?

[JtheJackal]

The House Of 1000 Corpses is probably the worst movie I've seen. I'm suprised I sat through the end.
Though Star Trek Nemesis was pretty bad.
Your poll loses alot when you put watchable films like Titanic and Harry Potter.
Titanic is worth the love story just to see the Titanic sinking scenes

No Ishtar option?

Half the people here were in diapers when Ishtar came out.

my father told me about this movie, and it's not a pleasent memory you know....
(Darn! Battlefield Earth how on earth did I left that out?!?!)

Hesitating between Independence Day and Pearl Harbour.

I thought Independence Day was great entertainment. A tongue in cheek load of old tut, but bloody good laugh. Disproved anyone who said the Americans could not laugh at themselves.

 

[Akka]

The sad thing is, it wasn't trying to laugh at Americans.
The result was it, but not the intention.

Last Man Standing with Bruce Wuillis. I was a die hard (haha spot the pun) Bruce Willis fan before that.

Maybe U-571. American propaganda film saying how they won the war. Shows the Germans as cowardly, evil Nazis who want to murder.
Watchable only for Bill Paxton and Harvey Keitel.

U-571 smacks of propaganda as much as Leni Riefenstahl's The Triump of the Will, except that is considered a cinematic masterpiece.

I bet Gigli actually ROCKS but no one saw it.

Really? Are you sure about that? It appeared to me that it was blatant tongue in cheek with Americans poking fun at their stereotype. I must admit I have never discussed the film with an American, so you have surprised me with your comment.

From the list in the poll, of those movies that I've seen it would be either Jaws IV or Waterworld.

The real worst ones are the ones that most people have never heard of. Some really crappy videos I own (I think I bought them for $3 or some fool conveniently 'forgot' them at my house because they were looking for a way to get rid of them):

The Opium Connection (originally a UN project)
Roswell: The UFO cover-up
Labyrinth
Stryker
Ghetto Blasters

 

[Matrix]

Is Batman & Robin the one with George Clooney, Alicia Silverstone, Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwarzenegger? Who could've thought a movie with such a cast would turn out to be so...failed?

I agree with you, that it seemed like a blatant toungue in cheek at the American stereotype to me. Perhaps the confusion is over certain characters? The crop duster (the guy who flew his plane into the UFO and sacrificed himself) was an obvious, blatant poke at the stereotype.

Yes, also certain events such as the President's final pep talk before the final battle were deliciously over the top.

The same guy who made Independence Day made The Day After Tomorrow, which leads me to believe that he actually finds poorly wrriten dialogue and characterizations plausible.

What about that movie staring Britney Spears? I didnn't watch it, but judging from the trailer it has everything it takes to be the worst movie ever.

Right... I forgot about that one. I actually saw it. It came to par with Pearl Harbor; in fact, it was, indeed, worse

The love story part of Pearl Harbor was boring as hell, and the acting was so pathetic that I actually bursted out in laughter at one point.
The attack at least had some good special effects. But that was the films only saving grace.
Twice, I almost walked out of this film. The first time I thought 'let's at least wait till the attack', the second time was about 5 minutes before it ended.

Independence Day was a stupid yet entertaining movie that no one took seriously.

Most people primarily hate movies because they are popular (or say anything about America that isn't mean). Hence the vitriol for Titanic, not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination.

I judge them on how hard they are to sit through. I'd have to say the most painful movie experiences for me were "A Mirror Has Two Faces" and "Bridget Jones' Diary".

Pearl Harbor is like Enemy at the gates. A fundmentally good war film marred by a stupid love triangle where one gets killed, and the other two go off happily ever after.

Where was the good fundament? The whole film was the love story.

 

[thestonesfan]

Pearl Harbor was not a fundementally good film.
