What's the worst film you've ever watched? Think I just melted my brain...

[Embelline]

...by watching Spy Intervention on Prime. It has Drew Van Acker in it of PLL fame and I was looking for something a bit easy, he's pretty (I know, I know, very high brow of me) and dear GOD it was terrible. I may have to burn my own eyes out - was it a romance, was it a comedy? Was it just fucking terrible? yes, yes to the latter.

I can't quite believe I kept watching until the bitter end, I think I was expecting something to happen that would explain why it was so bad?

What's the worst film you've ever watched?

PS: DVA WAS pretty in it. Very. But it still wasn't enough to save it.

Birdemic

What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jnr. It's not only mawkish in the way many Robin Williams's films are, and I really like him but God, he made some fucking awful films, but it is boring, pretentious and muddled.

Above all, do not see it if you have lost a loved one to suicide. I hadn't at that point, so I was more angered by its message that those people are condemned to an existence of misery in an eternal afterlife. At one point he and Gooding, who is sort of an angel, are walking through a dreamland swamp and he realises he is treading on the pleading faces of people who have taken their own lives. It's a very disturbing image and one I can imagine is deeply upsetting to some people.

Now I have that experience I am still not upset by it - I think it's tosh - but I know that many people would be. The fact that Williams, who was one of my favourite people who I will never know, took his own life and so may have experienced suicidal thoughts when he made the film and therefore might have held those beliefs, makes me sad for him but doesn't let him off the hook.

I've met people who liked it because they thought it was spiritual. They are wrong. It's terrible. Worse than Patch Adams.

Men.
And Lamb.
FFS what were they all about????

Another Jack Black one: Gulliver's Travels. Quite the worst film I have ever seen and I have seen Hannah Montana the movie.

Katherine Tate and Billy Connolly need to come to my house and apologise.

It was a Brit horror film with Tulisa from N Dubz in it. Her character was killed in the first five minutes. The film was criminally bad. Abysmal. I can't remember the name so I'll have to look it up.

So dreary, terrible bland acting, no tension at all - its all so subjective right?

My friend and I once arrived at a small cinema to find out the schedule had been changed, and Inferno (part of the Da Vinci Code series) was on in place of the film we’d come to see.

We stayed and watched Inferno. It didn’t make much sense. Spoiler - the baddies would have succeeded in their cunning plan to wipe out half the world’s population if only they hadn’t deliberately left a trail of clues for the goodies to follow.

The Talented Mr Ripley (only film I have ever walked out of)

Nooo... its one of my most favourite films ever!

Agree about Sliding Doors though. Gwyneth Paltroe seems to have a dreadful adenoid or sinus issue going on.

Avatar 1. No way would you get me to see the 2nd one, fool me once and all that...

Open Water, was desperate for the shark to get them by the end.
The Player, saw it with a boyfriend, bored rigid, boyfriend was shit too.
Tried Everything everywhere... recently, gave up 2/3s way through, what the actual smeg?

Ice station Zebra

Blended with Adam Sandler

Another vote for No Country for Old Men. And Bad Santa. WTAF??

Everything, everywhere all at once. I wanted to love it but gave up half way through. The one with a bear and Leonardo De Caprio, deadly dull.

We watched The Lobster on the recommendation of Hugh Grant, during and interview with Colin Farrell (for The Gentlemen). Admittedly an odd film, we rather enjoyed it!

We didn’t expect to like EEAAO, but thoroughly enjoyed it and laughed our arses off while at the same time thinking WTF during certain butt plug related scenes! 🤣

Marley & Me. I've never watched a film where I wanted the dog to die - not even Cujo.

I like dogs but since I saw it, every time I read a dog-hating thread on Mumsnet I have to concede they might have a point.

It pains me to say it, but Xanadu.

The producers, directors and editors need shooting because they completely ruined what could have been a classic blockbuster musical.

It had the right ingredients of Olivia Newton John (at the peak of her popularity and singing/dancing abilities), Gene Kelly (a Holywood legend), Top ten songs (Xanadu, Magic, All over the World, written by the two greats of John Farrar and Jeff Lynne (ELO), duet with Cliff Richard (Suddenly), and all themed around roller disco which was huge at that time.

But it turned out to be a right mish-mash of a crap story line, crap acting by the male lead (who'd have thought it was a bad idea to have a male lead in a dance musical who couldn't sing nor dance!), poor photography of some really impressive group dancing (eye level photography instead of from above which meant most dancers at the back weren't seen!), and some of the best scenes left on the cutting room floor! It literally was if if the producers were making it up as they went along without any coherent plan.

At least the music album and 3 or 4 singles were top ten hits - the producers and directors couldn't ruin the music which was outside their control! In fact, ONJ and ELO (and their record companies), released the music album early as they knew the film was going to be a flop when it was released, so they ensured the music was a success!

Always, always this. It gets rated quite highly on here for best Christmas feel good film. It’s dire.

I loved Clockwise though! Went to the cinema with my school friends to see it.

Holiday on the Buses, that was on ITV3 last week. I do like Olive, though, I think she was the real star of On the Buses.

Deck the Halls.

Didn't manage much of it.

We have movie night every Saturday.
It's the only time in ten years we've actually stopped watching a film & gone to find a new one because it was just that excruciatingly bad.

We normally manage to watch all sorts of Christmas tat, but this was unwatchable.

have not RTFT but I am going to restrict my nominations to films that people rave about that i think are beyond shit

Inception.
It's A Wonderful Life

can't go on. Just thinking about those 2 makes me angry. I need to go off and think about flowers and butterflies

The Turner film with Timothy Spall (Mr Turner?). God it was dull - I kept waiting for something to happen and it never did 😴
I mean, obviously the guy was a very talented artist, but my god, he lived a boring life 🤪

That's one. I can confirm that the 15 minutes (it may have only been 10, although it felt like three hours) I got through were really, really, really BAD 😂

Are you being served, Film, truly truly awful.

If you want a really really awful movie that is just hilariously bad, try The Room with Tommy Wiseau

😂
But they have an over-production of commas that they need to use up.
