    @bad09 me too. Every damn time.

    Taken 3 is on right now. The fence jumping scene alone must put it in contention.

    Can't nail down a top ten, but in no particular order these are all worthy of contempt and discussion about why they are so worthy...

    Boyhood
    Withnail & I
    Batman & Robin
    Spider-Man 3
    War of the Worlds (Spielberg version)
    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (potentially in addition to any number of other Michael Bay Toy-based films)


    I laboured long and hard about putting Suicide Squad in there, but putting it into a list is giving it more credit than it deserves. It's a film that should just be forgotten about and discarded, never to come up in conversation again.

    Scrolling through the Horror section on Sky Movies one particularly boring evening, my partner skilfully elected to stop at one film, one which would shape my expectations of the genre and redefine what a good film should be all about.

    It was none other than 'The Doll Master', a film so bad it's.......bad. Worst film ever? I'd rank it up there. In fact it comprised one of her Christmas presents as retribution, that'll teach her :lol:

    In no particular order

    The Postman - Possibly the worst film ever made. Not a single thing can redeem this godforsaken Kevin Costner vehicle about Postmen in a post apocalyptic world

    When The Whales Came
    Free Willy
    Jaws 4
    Beethoven's 2nd
    Homeward Bound
    Look Whose Talking 1 & 2
    The Brave Little Toaster
    White Chicks
    Australia

    @whatfruitlivesagain Oh, The Postman really is awful, isn't it? I didn't include it in my own list as I stuck to films I'd actually finished and I couldn't make it past the halfway point in The Postman.

    Is Free Willy all that bad, though? I've not seen it for years and years, but my recollection is that it was a basically okish kids' film.

    Inception. Silly film. Annoys me when people call it intelligent, there's nothing intelligent about it.

    Inception isn't terrible. Or even bad, really. But it takes a really cool idea (what if you could steal a person's secrets from their dreams?) and makes it kind of dull (what if that person only ever dreamed of grey skyscrapers?).

    It had a couple of really good scenes. I just wish it had gotten a little crazier. Like the effects in Doctor Strange, which really went all-out (though with a middling plot attached to them, unfortunately).

    Just watched Charlotte Gray. Cate Blanchett's accent is all over the shop, and I've never seen so many boring people getting shot. The only good things in the film really were the cool helicopter shots of a steam train at the beginning and the end of the film.

    That's gotta be in someone's top ten right?

    Any of The Hobbits could make my list, depending on high "crushing disappointment" is as a ranking factor.

    Forgot to add to mine - top of the list...

    SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK!

    Utter shitfest of a travesty of a film, and easily the most overrated. I can't reserve enough hatred for it.

    Think we've been encroaching on 'mediocre films that didn't live up to the hype' since the beginning. Sucker Punch for me.

    Just watch The Room if you want to see what a truly disastrous film looks like! A film which is ironically good entertainment because you can laugh at its incompetence.

    You know, i have never twigged that Inception's dreams were so damn dull. But they were!

    Withnail & I is another interesting one. I can see why people might not like it if they had friends hyping it up. I was down with it from day 1 because I'm cool and that, ahead of the curve blah blah

    White Chicks is worth it for Terry Crews, who might just be one of the funniest men alive today

    @GarlVinland That's the thing - if you just want bad films, you could just list out every straight to DVD mockbuster that has been released to cash in on the latest cinema release. But of course they're going to be bad - no one expected anything different. It's the films that stir up an emotional response that really stick in the mind as bad.

    Case in point, imagine a young man who was a huge fan of Spider-Man 2 excitedly taking his seat in a cinema to see Spider-man 3. The cinematic adaptation of his favourite Spider-Man storyline - the black costume saga. Now, imagine how that young man felt when the black costume's evil influence on Spider-Man manifested itself by making him selfishly eat too many cookies.

    And then Peter Parker started dancing...

    It's a pain that never goes away.

    I don't know, it really nails Eagles fandom.

    Isn't that kind of the point. Their aim is to conceal from the mark that they are dreaming. If they started riding around on space unicorns firing lazer beams from tiny cybernetic sharks the targets mind would lock them out.

    I feel much the same way about Batman & Robin. It's such absurd pantomime nonsense that it becomes entertaining just to laugh at it, like the TV show and 66 film. In some ways I find it an easier watch than Batman 89 which, though objectively better than B&R, takes itself very seriously and fails on pretty much every point.
  • Deleted user 30 January 2018 13:54:17
    @RawShark Inception is the film that elicits the strongest emotional reaction from me. A mixture of anger and despair each time someone (lots of people) argues it is the best film they've ever seen.

    I wouldn't call it the worst I've ever seen, but it's by a country mile the most overrated.

    @Zomoniac Favourite bad bits of B&R:

    People being thrown into shelving units which inexplicably explode with a shower of sparks.

    Random cuts to Bane growling into the camera for no reason whatsoever.

    Terrible costume direction that includes, but is not limited to, Bat nipples and an extremely unflattering Batgirl outfit.

    Really odd lighting choices that make Alicia Silverstone look like she has a moustache.

    Every single cold/snow/ice pun ever invented being churned out by Arnie.

    Bat skates. Because you never want to be caught unprepared should an impromptu ice hockey match break out.

    Elle Macpherson turning up because I don't know.
