....then it has just started on Film 4.

Enemy Mine. About an astronaut and a male alien who collide in space and crash land on a planet. The male alien turns out to be pregnant and they co-exist on some hostile planet or other.

Really shite.

50 Shades of Grey. 20 minutes in, I'm out.

I got 30 pages into the book and dumped it.

3 very popular, successful films which I found dreadful… kept looking at my watch thinking’When the hell is this crap going to end?’
Forest Gump
Mama Mia
The Greatest Showman

The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover.

I swore never to watch anything else Peter Greenaway made ever and I never did. It was truly horrible

Im going to offer The Revenant. Some bloke stumbling about mumbling then sleeping in half a horse

The Girl with the Pearl Earring?

Laura95167 · 02/03/2025 19:17

I'm actually intrigued to watch it now

HairyToity · 02/03/2025 19:19

I beg to differ - Sex and the City 2 is the worst film evil. 2.5 hours of my life I will never get back.

I said this earlier in the thread - it is so so bad. Have you heard the Mark Kermode rant? It is brilliant W

“Anything to Survive”, Matt LeBlanc pre-Friends. Diabolical.

pomers · 02/03/2025 19:58

The Tin Drum. Art House shite. Went to see it at a pretentious art house cinema when at Uni. It was quite old then. Totally boring.

Beetle juice. Weird and boring. I know it’s having a resurgence.Totally rubbish

Starship Troopers. Large unconvincing insects attack.

Ladymeade · 02/03/2025 20:03

Pretty Woman... Some people love it but I can't get my head around the concept..

The Blair witch Project, we walked out of the cinema.

So much hype at the time! I was just bored to tears.

I'd forgotten that pile of shite.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 02/03/2025 20:38

We have a new entry for contention.

Fight or Flight.

Seems to be a remake of Bullet Train, just on a plane instead with Josh Hartnett wigging up as Brad Pitt.

Love the other two but I was bored to tears by Forest Gump and quite confused as to what we were supposed to feel about the main character - sweet but so easily swayed that if conditions were right he would probably commit terrible crimes against humanity as another flavour in his box of chocolates. Saw it once at the cinema. Never again. Maybe I remember it wrong. I liked the bit with him running though.

BlueFlowers5 · 02/03/2025 20:48

When video players were first affordable to rent, my DH ordered some films. Blood on Stms Claw e rented from a postage video film company.

Beyond awful. If there was a coherent script it didn't show.

And if we were talking about wooden acting, iffy main plot line, unbelievable main characters in TV series, I give you The Thornbirds.

All is Lost - Robert Redford film. I still can't believe the utter crapness of that film.

Is that the one where he doesn't speak? So dull.

Downsizing.

Never ending ridiculousness. I'm a Matt Damon fan but this movie should never have happened. Hated it.

I enjoyed it!

restingbitchface30 · 02/03/2025 21:31

The worst, but possibly funniest film I’ve watched was llarmageddon. Honestly it was so bad it was bloody brilliant, I laughed until I cried. I recommend anyone giving it a go it you want to waste some time.

lol 😂 And I HATE the ‘life is like a box of chocolates’ line!

PlacidPenelope · 02/03/2025 21:43

Yes, that's the one! Apparently according to the blurb there are a grand total of 51 words spoken in the film. Dull is an understatement😆

Another turkey - Australia starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman never got beyond 20 minutes, just dire.

I agree! The ‘fairy tale’ of a prostitute being rescued by a rich man. Then the preposterous incident where she was SO offended by another man trying to get in her pants. Ooooh but she flossed and didn’t do drugs 🤣 ( yes I watched it closely!)
