After reading that someone put the exorcist in their worst films ever list, I though it would be interesting to hear what other peoples are: It's tough and probably changes but mine are as follows: (not in order) 1. Suckerpunch 2. The most recent indiana Jones film 3. Lost in space 4. Suicide Squad 5. Batman and Robin 6. Taken 7. Aliens vs Predator 8. Driller Killer 9. Transformers series (1st was ok,the rest are terrible) I shall think of somw more and edit Edited by spindle9988 at 14:08:52 15-01-2018 Edited by spindle9988 at 14:28:44 15-01-2018 |

Registered 12 years agoIt's hard. I've seen far 'worse' films than Interstellar, but Interstellar pissed me off a lot more than, say, The Internship. I guess that's because I expect more from a film like Interstellar. Certainly PS, I Love You fits into both categories. -

Registered 10 years agoAbsolutely fabulous.
Never really enjoyed the series but the film was utter dross. Even the wife (who had enjoyed the series) agreed.

I really liked Interstellar, agreed The Internship is a bag of shit. I do feel there is an overreaction from people to call films that are a bit bad genuinely awful. Alone in the Dark starring Christian Slater is genuinely awful especially as it stars Tara Reid as a 'scientist'.

Registered 18 years agoMost recent Godzilla, Jurassic World and Crimson Peak all jump to mind now... but again, not quite enough of that special sauce to call them the worst films ever. -
Gigli, the Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez film was particularly bad.
Are we picking really terrible, or sort of average films that you find irritating? -

Registered 6 years agoHow can anyone hate the Exorcist? It's an absolute classic of the genre. -
And 300. Cersei gets her tits out in it. -
@Decks Yeah, that's a bit confusing alright. Even if you don't like the genre, there are approximately 97395793 horror films that are worse. -
Transformers 2
Transformers 3
After that I'm not sure. Plenty of films I hated, but some had merit so to say they are bad is unfair.
But Star Trek Nemesis was shit, and the 2 Matrix sequels were pretty awful. And I can't think of much good about those. The 3 Star Wars prequels, maybe?

How can you say that?
The last crusade was a great film!
There was a binding United Nations declaration on all nations; even pariah nations, including North Korea, that the last crusade was the final Indiana Jones film.
Anything else was clearly a figment of your fevered imagination. -

I remember speaking to someone at work about it before I watched it myself and he said he was crying with laughter when he did. I felt like sacking him after I did watch it for being such a tasteless moron -

I also hate The Exorcist, but not Top 10 worst films bad.
I can't remember seeing a film and genuinely believing it to be one of the worst films ever made, but I walked out of Compliance cos it was just so leary, rather than actually incompetently bad. -

Registered 14 years agoI've heard of/seen most of these films, which means they're not among the worst. Or do you mean the worst films that had a budget/anyone actually cares about? -

I could have made a whole list just featuring Will Smith, you see those jug ears and just know you're in for a big helping of shit. -
The problem with saying what are your "worst ten films" is that people will end up resorting to hyperbole and quote their biggest subjective disappointments as the "worst films evaaaaaa!!!!1111ONE!!".
I can quote a number of severe disappointments from recent memory - The Last Jedi, Justice League, Captain America: Civil War - but if you're looking for my ten worst movies of all time, chances are I saw them on TV and I can't even remember them anymore. I don't generally tend to "hate" films - I just tend to go "meh" and forget about the ones I don't like.
My "hatred" is reserved for films that attempt to disseminate especially dubious messages such as the painfully misogynous Wicker Man remake.
But if you want to go "absolute worst films", I'd probably name Going Overboard, The Room, any number of direct-to-TV SyFy movies (barring a few exceptions like Sharknado), any number of derivative "spoilt rich person learns the true meaning of Christmas" TV movies, and the aforementioned Wicker Man remake.
Anyway, going through Spindle's list:
1. If you're watching Sucker Punch and seeing nothing more than scantily-clad women in CGI-laden battle scenes, then you are part of the punchline. It's meant to be seen as that by the emotionally insecure and intellectually immature. There's an analysis by SlashFilm that explains the point of the film very well.
2. You watched Indiana Jones 1-3 when you were a kid, you watched Crystal Skull presumably as an adult, if not in late adolescence. That's essentially what all the nerd hate is about. People lose their sense of innocent wonder over time and look to piss all anything new in order to express their anger about it. I don't think any generation has epitomised the "old man yells at cloud" stereotype better than Generation X (of which, at 36, I am at the young end of). Crystal Skull is essentially one big call-back to 1950s pulp sci-fi in the same way that the first three referenced classic 1930s adventure fiction.
3. Just a "meh" film really. I think I've watched it a few times over the past 20 years, but it never really sticks in my mind.
4. Suicide Squad for me falls under the "disappointment" category, not least because David Ayer's a solid director when given time and freedom and the cast - barring one or two exceptions - was absolutely rock solid. There was a lot of wasted potential there, but if you think it's one of the "worst films eva" then you really need to grow up (a point which also holds true for films 1 & 2).
5. See, Batman & Robin for me is a guilty pleasure. When I'm doing a Batman watch-through (the Burton-era movies, the Nolan trilogy, BvS) I tend to skip Batman & Robin because it is almost unbearably cheesy and incoherent. But occasionally I do indulge, not least because Arnie basically just embraces the silliness with his performance. Slight wasted potential with Clooney though - in a better Batman movie he could have been one of the best in the role. -
I loved Conan the destroyer as a kid. It is complete shit to watch as adult though.
I really liked I am legend
