What is the benchmark for the worst film you’ve ever seen?

Whenever you get a film that’s been rated poorly, what is the film you say “well it can’t be as bad as xxx”

Ours is Beaster Bunny. Not even my type of film. It’s one of dh’s million dollar movie craps. Except it was so bad he insisted I had to watch some of it, just so I can see how bad it was.

And it was baaaad. Like how on earth did this get released let alone even made bad.

The Royal Tenanbaums. We saw it at the cinema. Absolutely crap.

Lost in Translation.

Death Wish, all of them. But they have some cracking lines and music and just general stupidness. They make me laugh out loud every time.

We recently watched a film called Nemesis. We kept watching it because we thought it couldn’t get any worse. It did.

In what way bad? You see, in terms of awful, sick subject matter and should never have been made, I'd put Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer' up there, though technically it's a well- crafted film. In terms of a film that's bad because the acting, plot, special effects and script are dreadful then that would have to be my all time favourite bad film, Air Collision. So bad, it's hysterically funny to watch.

The Island of Dr Moreau. Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.

Soubriquet · 20/06/2023 21:06

Hmmmm you can choose. My one is bad as in terrible plot, terrible acting etc. just laughably stupid without the laughing

Titanic 2. But you’re not wrong about Lost In Translation, it’s just I had blocked it out of my memory.

Power of the Dog

Rob Zombie's Halloween remake. The only time I've ever left the cinema before the end of a film.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. In the cinema.

It took about 5 minutes to come to this conclusion.

Straw Dogs.
I walked out and nearly finished our relationship.
He thought it was great because his 'Art School' twatty mates raved about it.
We still have the odd chat about it 52 years on.
Yes. Reader I married him. 😆

Noooo! It’s one of my all-time favourite films!

DelilahJane · 20/06/2023 21:11

The assassination of Jesse James by the coward ,Robert Ford. It just went on and in and on

Last Man Standing. Bleak.

Mummy Rebirth.

No- not part of the Mummy series with Brendan Fraser, but a B (Z) grade version.

As soon as I saw this thread the words 'Bulletproof asshole!' floated into my mind...😂

I see all your films and raise you “The Guru” with Mike Myers.

Polar Express. Goes down in family history as the worst film ever and is the acknowledged Gold family benchmark for awful films.
