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.

Saving Private Ryan

I liked Pulp Fiction, just was so pissed off with how Dusk till Dawn flipped and became a vampire movie. It could've been so much more.

Around Ireland with a Fridge.
Lord above, it was so bad it makes me feel unwell just thinking about it.

Mind the dooors…

got to be honest, I love that film. Great sound and Donald Pleasance makes me laugh.

Sooo bad

Hot Tub Time Machine

The Notebook.

Although I haven't seen Cats, so probably Cats.

Runners-up:
Mamma Mia
The Hunger Games

Bridget Jones Diary. Ugghhh women being reduced to ridiculousness. DH and I walked out the cinema.

Hubie Halloween. Don't mess with the zohan is a close second

I absolutely love that film!

For me is always 'Daddy Day Camp'.
For several of my DCs birthdays over the years I'd do an Odeon Kids Club saturday cinema trip for £1 each followed by a Frankie and Benny's kids meal at £2.99 ish (prices May vary I did these for over a decade).
I took 17 children and 3 other adults to see Daddy Day Camp. The kids were all 7ish. It was a great success and all the kids loved it. I did 23 toilet runs over the course of the movie and still saw too much of it. The other Mums who'd come along all had G&T to get over the horror while the little angels enjoyed their F&B.

I hate the mad max films. Original and remake

Little Man.

Utterly diabolical. It's a grubby, nasty, horrid film, I felt soiled after watching it. shudder

I remember that crocodile film, it was dire 🤣

Under Siege. Although it's so bad it's almost good.

And E.T. I knew I wouldn't like it and was persuaded to watch it. Manged about 15 minutes.

I don't think you can count something like Sharknado because even if you miss the trailer, the title tells you it's going to be shit.

Lost in Translation on the other hand was raved about by critics and was absolutely terrible.

At least with Cats the critics did most people a favour and warned us off...

Ted. Absolutely appalling, can't believe we stayed to the end. Mark Wahlberg has a real knack for making terrible films.

Very offended on behalf of Lost in Translation though

The Lighthouse. We watched the whole thing thinking that the story would start soon but it never progressed further than Robert Pattison angry wanking over a mermaid. It was all very strange.

The Human Centipede.

Still traumatised by jt 😨

She needed tissues at the end.

I'm keen to see that actually 😎

YY to Don't Look Up. (I felt so strongly about it, that anyone who expressed a different view, or said it was 'clever' or 'funny', I felt like committing violence on them. Awful sneering pretence at allegory.

And also:

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (on Netflix now. Nicolas Cage being a bit 'Being John Malkovich'. Dire & unfunny

Matilda:the Musical (despite the amazing young Irish actor playing Matilda). I hated it & found it so upsetting - Emma Thompson's Ms Trunchbull was just so convincingly violent.

@Flipflops123 I think you’re looking for the film Crawl. Bloody awful.

Meet Joe Black - Sooooooo dull! 3 hours of nothing much happening

The Royal Tenenbaums - I found it pretentious, boring and not at all funny. Perhaps I went in with the wrong expectations, but I was expecting a comedy of sorts, I couldn't even force a smile.

Loved Ted at the time (don't think it's held up well tho, as Ted was pretty vile).

Ted 2 was awful tho.

Mark Wahlberg post-Graham Norton is very unappealing to me tho.
