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.

Any Star Wars film

Not "The Empire Strikes Back" - that one was excellent!

Forrest Gump

I think I remember liking The Lake House, if it's the one with a time shift theme.
I loathed all the Tolkein films, 20 minutes is my absolute record for watching before I found something else to do, my late OH was a great Tolkein fan long before the films so he liked to watch them.
Titanic, all I could think of was For God's sake, sink!
A 90s Clint Eastwood film, Unforgiven, again OH liked it so I went out to a nearby coffee shop.

This thread is great to show us how different we all are!

The worst film I ever saw was critically rated and starred Javier Bardem-me and my dh chose it for one of our first dates. Beautiful. Bardem is a single dad in the slums of Barcelona who has terminal cancer the symptoms of which are shown explicitly in the film. Add to that a load of Asian immigrants killed by a faulty heater makes it the most depressing film I’ve ever seen. She’ll shocked and couldn’t wait to get home-think my dh wondered what he’d done wrong! We should’ve stayed in the bar.

Mamma Mia was so bloody awful it was almost good.

Almost all the schmaltz pumped out by Working Title movies. Heading the list is 'Love Actually', with 'Notting Hill' a close runner-up.

The second generation of Star Wars movies.

Agree about 'Absolute Beginners' - had to be really diabolical if even David Bowie couldn't save it.

'Moulin Rouge' was a derivative mashup of 'La Traviata' and 'La Boheme'. Only that music was good, and the performers could sing.

'The Hobbit'. I fell asleep halfway though, and never felt inclined to watch the rest of it.

Lincoln - I fell asleep in the cinema trying to watch this.
The Revenant - 3 hours of tedium
LaLaLand - I had such high hopes for this one but gave up after 15 minutes.
Manchester by the Sea - unbelievably boring.

Pitch Black
The Matrix
Toy Story
That one that just won a bunch of Oscars with the silly title.

Trading Places and Seven and two of my favourite films! Can't believe they're on here!

For me, Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. I didn't laugh once and is so highly rated. Just no.

Once Upon A Time In America. Nearly fours hours of my life I'll never get back. Dire, awful characters. Avoid!

The Big Lebowski. Tried twice to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Worse on second viewing.

Passing. Duller than researching watching paint dry with a slow internet connection. Accompanied by a soundtrack that will make your ears bleed.

The film was supposed to be set in the 1890s and yet the Can-Can dancers were singing, “here we are now, entertain us. I feel stupid and contagious”. 🤦‍♀️ I realise Baz was trying to be clever, but it didn’t work for me.

Haha absolutely hate those films. Also to add:

Saving Private Ryan - utterly idiotic clichés from beginning to end;

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood- what the actual fuck was that?!?!?!? 😱

The lyrics were NOT what made Nirvana great. In fact Smells Like Teen Spirit is better if you can’t make out what Kurt Cobain was singing!

moulin rouge

Yes, also terrible

Anything at all with Ben Stiller. Awful.

Wall Street with Charlie Sheen. Was stuck in the middle of a very long row of seats so I couldn't escape.

Another vote for Avatar. Cliché piled on cliché.

Has anyone seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood? I honestly still can't believe what I have seen for (what felt like) 7 hours. I just had no words.

Dirty Dancing. Complete drivel.

Also agree with Avatar

The Pokemon movie. I’d taken my DCs to see it so I couldn’t escape from the cinema!

Any of those 'women have hangovers and are generally really obnoxious' films with people like Rebel Wilson. I get it - you don't give a shit what other people think but, dear god, stop making films about it.

And the fairly recent one with Ben Affleck and his hot wife who walks around wearing hot clothes and shags everyone while he pouts and looks meaningfully at the camera. My BF loved it. Can't think why 🙄

Traffic was a two-and-a-half hour waste of time. So many great actors in such a dull movie.

The one I hated most was 'Hannah and her Sisters'.

One that annoyed me recently was the one about Emily Bronte. Not exactly the worst as the acting and scenery were good, but soooo unrealistic and anachronistic.

Objectively it’s Tommy Wiseau’s magnum opus “The Room”, but while absolutely indisputably terrible, it is also one of my favourite films ever! 😂

Oh I loved Eden Lake! I can't normally find a movie that scares me, but I was on the edge of my seat the full time! Bloody terrifying.

Recently? got to be Midway, terrible

Anything with tom cruise

Jeepers creepers
Time travellers wife
Predestination
Shrooms
Teeth

And of course the room.but at least thats watchable because ita so bad its hilarious you just have to keep watching it
