Ok folks, we've had favourite films and overrated films so let's hear about the worst films you've ever seen.
To kick off how about Armageddon, the loudest, dumbest, most stupid waste of film I have ever seen.
Cast Away (or is it Castaway?) - I knew it was going to be awful when Kirsty said how good it was!
Remains of the Day - What a waste of someone's life (the butler).
Final Fantasy - We came out mystified and wondering if they'd lost the proper ending?
Some may disagree, but since this is opinions, then I am going to give it. I thought that Natural Born Killers was complete pap. I also thought Holo-man was rubbish. Good special effects, shame about the story.
I am afraid, also that I did not think that Star Wars, Episode 1 was that good. Again the effects were great, and I am sure in the grand scheme of all the films it will fit in great, but on its own it did not really grip me. I heard a rumour that that was the reason Lucas was forced to start with film 3. The finance people saw he was on to something good, but film 3 was a better position to start and only go back to film 1 once the cult following was established.
PS
The worst film ever has got to be Speed 2 even Sandra Bullock couldn't make it interesting.
0/10
And close behind that is Lethal Weapon 4
1/10

Which version? The cut version shown on TV and in the cinemas over here is complete pap; the director's cut is vastly better.
I've seen so many bad movies it's hard to pick the worst, but one that really stood out from the rest for being utterly, horrifically, mind-numbingly awful while believing it was actually an important and impressive movie is a low-budget (though clearly higher than most movies I've worked on) British feature called "Dust", which I think I've mentioned here before.
"Dust" was'nt that directed by
Richard Stanley ? I remeber when he worked with the 'Fields of the Nephilim', they were supposed to make a comback last year...
Richard Stanley didn't make Dust; he made a film called Dust Devil in 1992 and hasn't made anything else since getting fired from The Island Of Doctor Moreau.
No, this is the "Dust" which co-stars a "Page 3 stunner" and starts out ripping off the credits from "Seven"; both of which should have been obvious clues. Forgotten who the director was, but I should probably find out just in case someone is dumb enough to give them money to make another movie.
It was so bad that half the audience walked out and most of the rest of us only stayed to see whether it could possibly sustain such a high level of appallingness all the way to the end... Glad I got to see it for free and didn't pay good money.
Didn't Richard Stanley make 'Hardware'? I'm surprised no-one has released that on DVD; it's not the best movie ever made, but still quite fun.
Thats right....'Hardware' I remember
it well...it starts off with the lead singer from the Fields of the Nephilim taking junk parts to a dealer. Turns out these parts are of a robot that cxan re-construct itself. Some guy buys it for his girlfriend who is an artist, pretty soon the two of them are stuck in her appartment with it as it tries to kill them...not too bad actually...
If you want a really mind bogglingly bad film I watched it on a cheap DVD last night, it is called Fair Game and it starred Cindy Crawford. Jeez what an appalling waste of time and money I even switched it off before the end. It represents the peak of American films based on no story, no acting talent, no producer or director talent, but masses of car crashes and explosions. I thought that speed2 was bad this film completely redefines the statement appalling film. I ended up watching Jack Frost and was mildly surprised.
