kind of interesting idea - RUINED by keira knightly and her crop top.

AND bad acting.
Interesting that thingy off The good wife is in there - seemingly with a different nose

Archie Panjabi. She's also marvellous in A Good Year. Tho scary.

Insomnia11 · 24/06/2011 15:56

I nominate I Heart Huckabees.

Becaroooo · 24/06/2011 15:58

didl "The holiday" Yes it was turd

I would vote for "The lake house" with Sandra bollocks and Keanu Cant act. 2 hours of my life I will never get back

Archie Panjabi kicks ass in The Good Wife - hence my name!

BILB is pretty awful, not only because of Kiera "Two by Four" Kneightley. The lead woman is also an unspeakably awful actress, and completely ruined ER for me when she starred in that. She's so awful, I've blanked her name from my memory.

However, BILB is saved by Jonathan Rhys Meyer's lip acting, and you are therefore unreasonable.

In any case, Sex and the City 2 is the very worst film in the history of cinema by a country mile.

VeraGood · 24/06/2011 16:01

shs is a terribel actress in ti ( KK)
did she get better in other films?

Thank you....yes, of course Kalinda!! She's amazing.

Thread hi-jack warning:
Was it the end of the series of The Good Wife? Loved it...Alisha and Will, in the lift....

bigbadbarry · 24/06/2011 16:04

No, the worst film ever is Roadtrip.

Kalinda · 24/06/2011 16:06

Yes, Miffles, sob, sob, I'm having withdrawal symptoms and having to make do with Luther as a poor substitute. TGW series 3 starts in the US in the Autumn, I think, we'll probably get it in early 2012.

ThisIsANiceCage · 24/06/2011 16:06

(A Good Year = film w Russell Crowe, for those like me whose tiny brains are struggling with Ms Panjabi's penchant for similarly named productions.)

vintageteacups · 24/06/2011 16:08

OP - I love it. I absolutely HATE football but actually really liked the film Blush

Illegitimate · 24/06/2011 16:08

Titanic 2- worst film made EVER

Miffles · 24/06/2011 16:10

I've not been watching Luther. Will have to keep an eye out next year. Long time to wait though. V pleased to hear they are making series 3. It's a great show.

As is (although a little less intense) Brothers and Sisters. Also ended.

Humph. AIBU to hate summer cos all the shows stop?!

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 24/06/2011 16:11

I liked it!

I would have to nominate The Blairwitch Project as the worse film of all time...simply dreadful!

InkSplodge · 24/06/2011 16:12

Saw the remake of 'the day the earth stood still' last week (was on telly) - it was very erm....unfinished - not enough Gort! Although i thought Keanu Reeve's acting as an expressionless wooden unemotional alien was fantastic.

Kalinda · 24/06/2011 16:16

You can get Luther on Iplayer, Miffles, but don't watch it alone or in the dark. Stars Idris Elba from the Wire, and another fantastic, should win an Oscar pair of lips in the form of Ruth Watson, who plays a fabulously psychotic physicist.

Anything directed by or written by Richard Curtis is bound to be a huge pile of steaming bobbins. Love Actually? No, throw up, actually, Richard.

DramaInPyjamas · 24/06/2011 16:16

YABU

I nominate Up 'n' Under.

oohlaalaa · 24/06/2011 16:16

A Good Year is the worse film. Ruined by Russel Crowe.

Bend it Like Beckham, is saved by Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

jeckadeck · 24/06/2011 16:24

you've clearly never seen a Chuck Norris movie if you think Bend it Like Beckham is the worst film ever made. Keira Knightley is very annoying and can't act, I grant you. But it gets a lot worse than that....

usualsuspect · 24/06/2011 16:25

Jonathan Rhys Meyers ..nothing else to say

PuppyMonkey · 24/06/2011 16:28

Charlie's Angels is the worst film in the world.

c0rn551Lk · 24/06/2011 16:32

Kiera Knightley's dancing in BILB was so bad it made me feel good.
My nomination is:
PS I love You.
That was truly shit. I'm sure the book is just as shit though I haven't read it and don't intend to.

Kalinda · 24/06/2011 16:32

Parminda Nagra, hag who went on to ruin ER, won a FIFA Presidential Award for BILB from Sepp Blatter! The only woman to have done so. So with all the great female footballers out there, this plank gets a FIFA award of the back of that rubbish. That's enough to make me change my mind and agree with you, OP.

Was the same director responsible for the unspeakable Bride & Prejudice? That's got to be up there somewhere, although the leads are admittedly gorgeous beyond reason and gives you a reason to carry on watching (albeit in horror from behind a cushion)

InkSplodge · 24/06/2011 16:34

I rather enjoyed Bride and Prejudice Blush - thought the class system etc. translated well....

Becaroooo · 24/06/2011 16:37

ugh...she bloody ruined ER for me!

AS IF you would dump gorgeous simon Brenner for legless Ray.

AS IF
