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.

Another one for The Blair Witch Project.
Also The Sweet Hereafter, watched at home with DD and we both said WTF was that all about?
Children of the Corn ditto.

The Horse Whisperer. Only time I have every walked out of a cinema.
Dire, just dire.

The Godfather Part III

Sister Maud, Calvary and the Joker. All of which I thought were extremely unpleasant.

Older films I hated were Plenty (David Hare) and Unbreakable (M Night Shyamalan). Total and utter garbage.

Friends use to joke that Unbreakable should be called Unwatchable.

It really was. I'd seen Sixth Sense and loved it but I could never see another of his movies after Unbreakable.

Also, absolutely anything with Jim Carrey. He can't act and he's not funny and I can't believe they kept putting him in movies. Now he just looks like Moses and makes terrible art. It suits him.

There has been some truly awful ones but I think the worst one of 2023 is the new ant man... it was awful and like a poor remake of spykids

Birdman.....wtf was it about?

Eden lake and Never Let Me Go

jesus. I felt like I needed counselling

Trading Places
Clockwise
Elvis

Zoolander

Agree except for The Truman Show. Amazing.

The Lobster.

I couldn’t sleep and it was on. It was very bizarre. And I tried to explain it but it was so bizarre.

OMG had to abandon it thirty mins in... absolute shite. Banshees gang and Cate Blanchett were ROBBED at the Oscars 😤

Absolutely agree with this. Totally incomprehensible.

Went to the cinema to watch ‘Dreamgirls’ and ended up waiting for my mates in the pub next door. Wailing, dire lyrics, piss poor acting and it just went on and on…

Blair Witch Project definitely. Please just die tonight. Okay, tonight then, seriously - tonight! Stop waking up!

Also got bored shitless recently by trying to re watch Fight Club. Gave up.

That made me laugh. Mum rented Trading Places from the video store. Sent me to bed because I was 11 and there ended up being a few naked women.

Clockwise I probably saw at the cinema the same year 🤣

Haven't bothered with Elvis.

I’m so glad someone else shared the experience! No one I know has seen it.

I remember sitting through Dude Where's My Car at the cinema with a boyfriend. When we came out he remarked how hilarious it has been. I knew then that the relationship was doomed.

'Moonfall'. That was awful and I absolutely do not recommend it on any level.

'Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets'. So, so bad that I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Mamma Mia

A long time ago I watched Vertgo because Jimmy Stewart was (and I suppose still is, even though he died quite a long time ago now) my favourite actor by far - well actually, come to think of it, I hold the late, but wonderful, Robin Williams in just as much great esteem - anyway, I am probably not high brow enough, because Vertigo was the most boring film I have ever watched, and I usually love psychological thrillers in both the written and filmed forms. Oh, and it isn't because of it's director, as I loved The Birds for how scary it was when I first watched it, when I was about 10 - 12 years old!

Quite recently both my DH and I started watching Trainspotting for the first and (as will become obvious) only time. The acting may have been brilliant, the story might be one that we should all watch when we are teenagers - I don't know, because it was just so revolting, that neither of us could stomach continuing to watch it.

Which does not mean that in my 50 + years of being aware of the outside world as an actual entity, that I have not read, or watched, or even personally witnessed, any atrocious ways that Man's Inhumanity to Man plays out terribly everyday, it just means that on this occassion we did not feel the need to subject ourselves to a film that would have almost certainly had us in tears, and maybe even vomiting, the first few scenes were definitely making me feel sick.

NB I have just bought the Kindle edition of The Birds and other (short) stories, by Daphne du Maurier!

We (as a family with adult children) watched this, and yes, it was strange, but we did find it watchable, and slightly entertaining, but I don't think I would ever bother to watch it again 😼
