Worst Movie Ever Watched

You can't be serious. Awesome movie. Back when action had charisma. The whole genre was just as much built on one liners as it was explosions.

"have you ever killed anyone"

(pouty face)
"yes but they were all bad"
 
I always go blank with favourite or worst things. There are definitely some films where I think they're utter rubbish. Sky Germany is good at buying rights for films to show and then rotten tomatoes has it at 7%.

I walked out of a secret sneak preview of some film set in Afghanistan about some American who'd been part of a beach resort terror attack and then joined special forces. Just went nowhere.

There was one movie so crap that I only lasted five minutes and can't even remember the name of it now! Put it right out of memory. Maybe it was Ted? Or Bridesmaids? Don't think I'll ever remember it haha.

Just couldn't do Ted. Bridesmaids goes up and down.

I try not to count films on long flights as I'm too dazed or restless to focus.
 
Not to hijack the thread theme. Maybe a film thread will be created. List the best or most popular films ever and there are plenty I've never sat down and watched. YouTube clips galore but I've never watched Good Will Hunting so I don't know the chronology.
 
Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith really didn't reach the heights the YouTube snippets promised. Really low energy and took ages to develop.
 
Recorded it on sky but Mad Max just couldn't work for me. Was probably tired but didn't feel the spark and stopped after a while.
 
Needed silly shit during Covid from time to time but The Wrong Missy. Fuck me. The airport scene at the start had me pining for travel again and it seemed intriguing then that nutter comes into the film and it's so bad it's good but again so bad.

I remember it was the Channel 7 Sunday night obsession. How many times over the years. And yep, as a kid I could watch until the horse scene and then would either fall asleep or need to go to bed.

Finally watched it to the end and the quality somewhat drops off a find. The opening hour or so felt like art then it went lower budget action. A great film. Had my partner watch it first time a few years back and she was gripped throughout.

Have a soft spot for Men in Black. Was always on channel 10 as was Back to the future which felt like that Saturday high school post rugby league pain solace. Play either of them for background noise at times.

I'm using that movie of an example and how it's great because of how little CGI was used.

I also think it's a great movie.

I hear ya, some Arni stuff is brilliant viewing, the accent, the one liners, not many can make the bad guy liked so much hahaha
True Lies was great !

Ill kick off with a couple:

I was actually spooked reading The Shining. Nervous as all hell when he had to walk past the fire hose FFS. Stephen King is a master at creating atmosphere. No chance in hell of creating the depth of feeling in a movie.

The Hobbit would have to sit pretty high on my worst adaptation list.

Robin Hood with Russell Crowe hangs pretty low on the tree for me too. It would have been better to call him Barry Smith and leave the movie to stand on its own - it just wasn't a Robin Hood story.

Book to animation - worst I can think of was The Black Cauldron. If you ever read the full Chronicles of Prydain you will see how much the story suffers for the sake of happy Disney kids.

Yeah massive Stephen King fan, at least his earlier stuff ... who has time these days :) His stories jump off the page but dont translate well to the big screen (well Pet Sematary and and Cujo maybe....) Hobbit was atrocious yet oddly TLOR trilogy was suprisingly tru (yes yes I know it was disneyfied) to the narrative of the oriignal books.... Happy Disney and WB and Paramount etc etc is the bane of writer's existence .... but every now and then you get a movie that resonates with the book ... one example off the top of my head Alex Garland's the Beach (movie, while playing a little lose with the narrative, was still bloody good interpretation IMHO)

Don't even get me started on Brad Pitt in TROY .... I mean Jesus Christ I know Homer's Iliad was written 3 thousand years ago but sheeeesh :)
