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

I lost two hours of my life to watched "The Perfume" the other day, which I think is a better contender for that title. No crane is big enough to suspend that amount of disbelief needed to get through it.

how is it that RobertDowney Junior is such a God/ top totty/ legend but has been in such awful films Confused Imagine if he'd been in some half-decent films. I don't think my ovarys could cope.

Another vote for "The Holiday". I spent a while wondering if it was supposed to be a parody of itself and somehow ironically funny. But then I realized it was just pants. (Napkin face alone meant that the film should be stricken from the annals of history).

But "Hot Fuzz"? Really? Hilarious!

JennaTailor · 25/06/2011 08:31

'Death becomes her' (1992) Is the worst film ever .... and the only film i have ever walked out the cinema over.

Tryharder · 25/06/2011 08:37

Nah, I love Bend It Like Beckham. I used to live in Hounslow and my house is in one scene! Agree with the earlier poster who said "Little Nicky" is the worst film ever - although I would like to add that anything with Adam Sandler is usually dire.

Tryharder · 25/06/2011 08:39

Although, I agree Keira K is a poor actor. She is the same character in all her films whether it's this one or Pirates of the carribean (sp) or the bilge that was Love Actually.

springydaffs · 25/06/2011 12:23

phew, so glad to hear everybody (or anybody who's anybody - you know who you are) hated Love Actually. With Richard Curtis disappearing up his bum with unbelievably sticky (sickly) sentimentalism. o, that's a horrid analogy. Apparently he took a year off making films to raise money for charity but came back with the pirate thing - oh please.

For me, worse film ever is Titanic - didn't see 2, wouldn't.

Feel sorry for KK. She can't help being beautiful and promoted hither and thither for it

springydaffs · 25/06/2011 12:24

but look, i'm 4 hours late and you've all gone Sad

LaWeasel · 25/06/2011 15:36

Fear (dot) com!

Had forgotton the awfulness. It is in fact so bad that they couldn't afford the domain name fear.com and it is feardotcom.com!

MummyTigger · 25/06/2011 15:47

I nominate The Human Centipede. Yick.

And Transformers. Precisely HOW that managed to do so well is beyond me!

JambalayaCodfishPie · 25/06/2011 15:50

YABU, Shes The Man is the worst film ever with the worst acting/facial expressions in the world.

stainesmassif · 28/06/2011 21:19

ahem. i'm in bend it like beckham. in the football crowd sitting behind juliet stevenson's big hat. it's my best claim to fame.

FlamingFannyDrawers · 28/06/2011 21:28

My nomination is...Phone Booth. They should've bolted that booth and left that bastard Colin Farrel in there. Couldn't act his way out a wet paper bag (or a phone booth)

TandB · 28/06/2011 21:31

The Postman. Is that what it was called? That thing with Kevin Costner galloping about delivering post-apocalyptic mail.

thumbwitch · 29/06/2011 13:03

I'd like to second FlamingFannyDrawers nomination, actually - it can go in my top 10 films I never want to have to sit through again.

Did I mention The Beach in my first post? Probably not - fucking awful pile of wank, that was. I read the book after to see if it was any better - no.

HuntForGalaxyHazelnut · 29/06/2011 13:56

I don't think it's been mentioned yet but Boogie Nights has got to be up there with the worst films of all time.

Despite the fact that i was actually obsessed with Mark Wahlberg, and would have happily watched a full length film of him sleeping, I turned it off after 2 hours and listed it on ebay immediately. But can somebody enlighten me? Does he really get his cock out at the end or is my friend just teasing me to be cruel?

ddubsgirl · 29/06/2011 14:08

yes he gets it out but its a fake one lol :) im a fan of his big brother :)

GabbyLoggon · 29/06/2011 14:12

well, it was far from brilliant

spiderslegs · 29/06/2011 14:20

You clearly haven't watched SATC 2. I can't even talk about it.

I loved Boogie Nights.

& yes Keira Knightly is crap - the woman can't act.

HuntForGalaxyHazelnut · 29/06/2011 15:53

Ahh, if it was a fake one I'm not that bothered! Thanks ddubsgirl :)

Haven't seen SATC2, will spare myself the torment you all describe. Sarah Jessica Parker is another one (like Keira Knightley) who always seems to play the same character, no matter what the storyline is. Is it still considered acting if you play yourself?

CaveMum · 29/06/2011 16:03

I nominate Skyline as one of the worst films ever made.

It ticks all the "bad movie" boxes:

Aliens - check
Over the top special effects - check
Token black guy who gets killed part way through the film - check
Total lack of plot - check
Weird-ass ending - check

DH insisted on renting it a month or so ago. Thanks for that Hmm

CaveMum · 29/06/2011 16:35

See - Skyline is so bad it's killed the thread!

cjbartlett · 29/06/2011 16:44

I love Love, Actually!

worst film is Stargate
