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.

Raging Bull. Went to the cinema with boyfriend. He loved it, I was bored after the first five minutes.

Les Mis. Love the theatre musical and have seen it several times so I had high hopes for the film but it was so hopelessly miscast (apart from Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne) that it was awful. Who the hell thought Russell Crowe could sing? And whilst High Jackman was fine in The Greatest Showman he just couldn't cope with the Les Mis score. It would have been better if they'd have dubbed like the old musicals.

365 - a dangerous Mafia dude kidnaps a pretty Polish woman and says he’s going to keep her prisoner until she either falls in love with him or a year passes. This is not considered horrific because he’s hot. She is not particularly frightened of him and wanders about wearing very little and making him buy her stuff. There is some fairly explicit sex.

The Flintstones (but that was in the 90s).

Wild at Heart by David Lynch with Nick Cage and Laura Dern. 1990. Completely unwatchable. I only saw it because the film I wanted to see was sold out so we saw this instead.

Eraserhead

by David Lynch. Look up the synopsis and watch the video short of Eraserhead on www.rottentomatoes.com

(although it has great reviews!)

Wash your mouth out with soap!!!!

Anchorman was and is movie gold!!!

I'd have to say a whole heap of the "Brat" pack movies and some of the 1980's movies.
18 Again
16 Candles
Teen Wolf (the original with MJF in it)

More recently - THE LOBSTER!!!! What the actual was that all about??????

I've sat t

The Whale. Hated it. Dark, depressing, and the ending was the worst I’ve ever seen in a film.

Oops. Realised that I pressed post before I had finished writing my message.

I've sat through some stinkers in my time. I really don't know how film critics manage it.

Boxing Helena, truly awful!

Pearl Harbor

Only God Forgives with Ryan Gosling. Not even God would forgive the making of that utter tripe!

I hate Beautiful Boy because it presented the most simplistic, privileged take on drug addiction I've ever seen.

Charlie's Angels for the rampant misogyny disguised as faux feminism.

American Pie, because jeez it was just dreadful.

Anything with Tom Cruise, because he gives me the physical ick.

The Help, because of the cringey white saviour narrative.

The Village.It was touted as an eerie, very creepy film. We both sat there waiting and waiting for something - anything! - to happen. There's something in those woods! Not. We still use it as a benchmark for a crap film.

Oh my god. I'd totally forgotten about the film. Disturbing as hell.

Fantasia
Clerks 3
Strangeways Here We Come
Chasing Amy

LOVED Clockwise tho!

I forgot about this gem. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Space Camp!

www.imdb.com/title/tt0091993/

Many of mine have already been mentioned, but may I add:

End of Days
Stargate
Flight
Some shit with Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte - Here Comes Trouble, I think.
The one with Colin Farrell in the phone box. I was rooting for the sniper.
The Peanuts movie a couple of years ago. On the plus side, I had a lovely nap.
The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Oh my god. Some of his films are the best and funniest films I’ve ever watched and 20 years on we still quote lines from them from time to time in our house!

Pompeii!

What I expected: a disaster film about the famous eruption. Perhaps an ensemble cast to follow the different stories. A poignant ending reflecting on the huge loss of life.

What I got: almost the exact plot of Gladiator which is meant to make us care about the slave-turned-gladiator and his love interest, but was actually really boring and went on too long, about 14 mins of poorly CGId volcano action and a crappy sentimental ending where the 2 main characters got frozen as one of the statues you see from pompeii, except that is NOT how that worked!

Ugh.

I love that film! Had me gripped!

Mulholland Drive. Watched at uni with flat mates. Made us ANGRY. So confusing. We probably completely missed the point, and maybe we weren’t clever enough to get it? But just the thought of it still makes me angry, 20 years later 😆
Happy Gilmore. My husband loves it and has tried to make me watch it several times. I made it through the whole thing once and that was because I was blind drunk on home made cocktails. And I still didn’t laugh, apparently!

House of Mirth. Sat through it in the cinema because I didn't realise the people I was with also hated it.

God, yes! Watched it a few weeks ago; utter drivel. A film needs editing.
also, Ladies in Lavender and Legends of the Fall.

Pearl Harbour
Eat Pray Love
All those large ensemble movies like Valentines Day etc.
I also hate Jim Carey (except the Truman Show) and I hate Will Ferrell - him and his films.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Looks like David Lynch is a common denominator!
