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

[Soubriquet]

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.

I watched one on Netflix last night called Bring It. It was beyond terrible. The dialogue, the acting..it was so bad, but I still watched it to the end🤣

Perhaps not, but I suspect "Sausage Party" haters are a large and diverse group and appear on many intersections of film Venn diagrams.
Hmm... Perhaps I should give "Cloud Atlas" a chance

Yep, completely agree with you there, Sausage Party really does meet all definition of a terrible film
Give Cloud Atlas a go and come back and tell me what you thought

The Revenant. I can’t bloody believe they gave him an Oscar for that and not The Departed. Big pile of steaming shit.

I like Lost In Translation but I watched it late at night when I couldn’t sleep and I appreciated the gentleness of it.

Will do!

I watched Tusk at the weekend and want those 90 minutes back. So much wrong with it but especially the pacing - I'm sure one scene went on for at least 10 minutes, and it was just three people sitting around a table talking bollocks.

😲I loved that film!

😲 we watch that as a family EVERY CHRISTMAS!! We love it.

La La Land. I managed 10 minutes, my daughter 1/2 hour. Absolute tosh.

I am so glad so many people mentioned lost in translation, I couldn't finish it.

The other one is Hudson Hawk, it started off ok , a lightweight caper film , then around 20 minutes in its like a completely different film and everyone has checked out.

I also caught the last 10 minutes of Ishtar , I thought it was a wedding home video . Apparently making it was not a barrel of laughs either.

I also managed to block until now .... Ace Ventura Pet Detective. I'm not sure which I wanted to do most - hit Jim Carey with a blunt object , repeatedly , to make him stop , or hit myself repeatedly with a blunt object for watching even one microsecond of this.

La La Land was good until it was Gosling's turn to act

Despite the vast majority of La La Land being the most desperate tosh, I'm glad I stuck with it.

The twist at the end almost made up for the previous hour and a half's pain but I'm the first to admit it's a close run thing.

I loved La La land. I weirdly found it really moving at the end and started crying much to the mortification of my teens.

I’ve never sat through it. It’s surprisingly bad.

🤣🤣🤣that's my all-time favourite movie. I've seen it about 10 times and regularly quote it. "Mmm like a glove!"

I'm another La-La Land loather.
I went with a friend - we'd both heard excellent things about it and were looking forward to it.
At the end, we were unusually un-chatty, saying things like "Well, that was...um..." until we realised we'd both hated it, but didn't want to say in case the other had loved it and would have their enjoyment spoiled by the thought their friend had had a rotten time 🤦‍♀️

I have to agree @CathyorClaire I think it was a great film & a superb, chilling ending

Banshees of Inisherin... so bad. Lovely scenery and wee donkey though.

Titanic - I'd have left but I was mid row and everyone else appeared to be loving it - was slightly afraid of leaving and the effects of blocking anyone's view of the turgid crap.

I LOVED it!!

Oh god, Broken Flowers (a Jim Jarmusch film so we should probably have been warned with Bill Murray doing his stupid, perplexed blank-faced schtick) was the absolute worst for me.
DH and I saw it in a nearly empty cinema, about six people in the audience.

The film stopped (it didn't end , it just ... stopped) and when we realised after half a minute or so everyone burst out laughing, it was so bizarre. Minimal, tedious plot and no resolution at all.
It was as if Jarmusch et al just got bored with it. I don't blame them.

Interview with the Vampire. God that was bad. God knows the book was bad enough but the film stank.

Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Twenty minutes in and nothing remotely amusing or even interesting had happened, so I quit.
