Worst Movie Ever Filmed

If you think Blair Witch is bad, watch Blari Witch 2. My sister made me watch that. It's horrible, the people can't act worth sh*t and they take it waaaaay to seriously. Just take my word, don't try to watch it for yourself, the emotional scars I got are still healing.
another movie I'm suprised no one has mentioned is Mulon Rouge or whatever, am I the only one here who thought that was utter crap?

No, I thought Moulin Rouge was craplike too. Good cinematography and costumes, and decent casting, but what the heck was Baz Luhrman thinking?
Nothing against musicals as a genre (not that I've ever seen one that I actually enjoyed, except Southpark: The Movie
), but at least get some original songs. All I could think of during the part when the decadent aristocrats were destroying Smells Like Teen Spirit was, "Thank God Kurt Cobain's not around to see this!" The whole movie felt like a really high-budget karaoke party.
Oh well, after Strictly Ballroom and Romeo+Juliet, I supposed he's allowed a stinker.

You mean they made a sequel to this?!? Like I said, I enjoyed BWP(1) because of its original idea, but that movie was not meant to have a sequel.... Such a thing would never have the same effect.
One movie I haven't thought of--Lawnmower Man 2. THAT sucked! To me anyway, it had absolutely NOTHING to do with the brilliant original, and this was further amplified by the main character being a different actor too.... It made no sense to me, at least not in the context of the original. Lawnmower Man was another excellent movie they should have left alone (although a sequel "done right" could have been possibly good).

The absolute worst, god-awful, piece of trash movie has got to be "The Thin Red Line". Sitting through it for three hours actually made me physically ill.
There are about 20 'main' characters in this movie, played by Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Elias Kostas, John Cusak, Woody Harrelson, and George Clooney. Each of them has about 30 minutes of screen time and then ARE NEVER SEEN AGAIN. Some have less. 20 minutes into the movie, Woody accidently blows himself up with a grenade. John Cusak takes a Japanese machine gun bunker and IS NEVER SEEN AGAIN. And George Clooney is in the movie for, at most, 30 seconds, in the end.
The plot is supposedly about soldiers in the battle of Guadalcanal, but mostly it involves shots of children swimming and random fotage of nature. Just talking about this abomination of nature makes me want to hurt everyone involved in its production. Is any else out there in civLand a victim of this instrument of torture?
BTW, anyone interested in bad movies should visit on of my favorite sites: www.badmovies.org

I don't know why I've been so drawn to this thread... I must be more masochistic than I thought.
The Thin Red Line: I didn't give it my full attention when I watched it, but I walked away with the impression that it was supposed to give you a feel of what the war felt like for participants, the senselessness of it. You get to know a guy really well and he blows himself up with a grenade or walks into a building and you never see him again. From what I understand, war is mostly boring anyway--just staring at the scenery waiting for something to happen. But I don't know, that might have been just my liquor-induced post-movie intellectual foreplay. Heh, good movie now I think of it...
As for the website napoleon526 suggests: it's good as far as B-movies go--but those are bad almost by definition. I much prefer a good big-studio movie bashing. Pearl Harbour, for instance, deserves a few shots. Someone mentioned Titanic, which was utter ****e (although both of these had damn good action sequences). The Man in the Iron Mask is one my roomate dragged me to, and went a long way toward my deciding to move out.
Oh! oh! A Murder of Crows with Cuba Gooding Jr! On top of awful acting and a lame plot, it's got one of the worst young-actor-in-old-man-role make-up jobs I've ever seen. It's SOOO obvious, and yet so central to the plot that you believe he's an old man.
I think Gooding Jr. just took the role for the hot sex scene in it. Certainly that's the closest thing to a reason for renting it I can think of.
Damn this thread hurts so good... [punch]
EDIT: I can't write "****e"?!? What the hell? Why is "crap" okay, but not "****E"--you know, with an "e" on the end, like in faux-old English? Why is that worse than, say, sh;t? T-Fall? You going soft on us here? :finger: Oops, I meant, :frog:
Oh boy, I'm in for it aren't I?

The censoring of "undesirable" language happens automagically. The details are buried somewhere in the FAQ. I read that once...

Mr. Bond, you hit the nail right on the head in regards to Moulin Rouge. A more disgusting, self indulgent w-ank of a film I have not seen recently.
Give me "Oliver!" any day.
Titanic too, was a crime against humanity.

What was senseless about WWII? The soldiers in the movie were fighting to stop Japanese dominance of the pacific. Had I been alive during this time, I would have no problem bayoneting a jap.Originally posted by goodbye_mr_bond

Okay, hold on now. The one I went to see the other day because my fiance plays it on Play Station 2 is that HORRIBLE Resident Evil movie. That chick (Veronica I think) needs a hamburger!! We had to walk out in the middle of the movie it was so horrible, not to mention disgusting! Please parents, DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! 
All the darn parents were bringing little children to this and its a R rated movie. Personally, I think it should have been NC-17...Some games just aren't supposed to be made into movies (Like Super Mario Brothers).....

In fact, I think that any film that is "inspired" by a computer game ought to be on this list. They're all absolutely awful and quite clearly just pandering to fools who follow the brand and have no pretensions to artistic merit whatsoever.

I'd have to agree. But labelling all of them brand-name following 'fools' may be a bit heavy-handed, as most of the people they pander to are CHILDREN. How do you expect a 10 year old to have any grasp of artistic merit (apart from the painting he made at school depicting a blob that his mother proudly hangs on the family refrigerator)?.
But I guess that there are still fools like you describe. Geeky types with the maturity of a 9 year old brat who still like to hang out and play Nintendo. Even when everyone else moved on to something much more worthwhile.
Going off that, what I'd have to say are the worst are the two Scary Movies, Moulin Rouge (damn overrated piece of crap), the Blair Witch series, and anything based on a major historical event with a love story thrown in (ie. Titanic, Pearl Harbour, etc.). I can only shudder at the though of another one being pumped out of Hollywood.

Sure, with Mario they were after kids' cash, but what are the certificates of all the other ones they've foisted upon us? I prefer to play computer games that look like films than to watch films supposed to be computer games.

mortal combat must be the worst action movie ever made. two of the three main character actors didn´t know any material arts, that looked really stupid, and the soundtrack contained a song made by traci lords.
you are wrong, the thin red line was a very good movie.

I don't care.
Let's add "Streetfighter" as an example. The WORST thing about this awful movie? It was Raul Julia's last movie. An actor that good deserves a better legacy.

Well I liked the Final Fantasy movie, purely due to the amazing graphics. The story wasn't up to much, so I spent an enjoyable two hors thinking 'Oh my god! It looks so real!'

I bet it looks nothing like my PS version of FFvi though.
Did you mean a couple of hours then, or a couple of ladies of the night?
