Date movie.
It has alisonhannigan in and we thought it might be light hearted
It was dire. Utter crap. And I have a high threshold for crap, can watch most rubbish as long as its entertaining

@WineAndTiramisu The Lobster was recently on Film 4 so I have no excuse for watching it all the way through- thought it must get better.

Food Boy on Netflix about a boy who can produce food from his hands - or up his sleeves. Anyway utter tripe or insert your food of choice.

AI Artificial Intelligence

Sat in that cinema for what felt like WEEKS!!

What a pile of utter shite...makes me angry just thinking about it

The worst film ever is called The Room. It is so bad that it has become a cult movie and people go to groan and throw tea spoons at the screen. The same guy produced, directed and starred in it. Because it is so very very bad it has a huge fan base and is shown around Europe at least twice a year. HOWEVER...... a new film has just come out called The Disaster Artist which is about the Room and the man who made it. It is poignant and kind and makes these two films now joined at the hip. One of the worst films in recent history has enabled James Franco to make one of the best films of his career.

The Revenant. Christ. That’s the best part of three hours of my life I’ll never get back. Turgid pile of misery. I mean, I wasn’t expecting a song and dance routine or anything, but bloody hell.

NooNooHead1981 · 05/03/2018 17:49

I watched the new Mummy remake the other day with DH and it was utter crap - all I kept saying was how it was bollocks all the way through.

It did have Tom Cruise in, mind....

I actually prefer to watch children's films and think the recent CGI ones (Minions etc) are all brilliant. At least they have a plot, decent script, amazing animation and graphics. All the new remakes like the Mummy show are how utterly pointless they are and how useless actors like Tom Cruise can be. Plus, the fact they actually paid these so-called 'actors' loads to be in them... Hmm

TheKnackeredChef · 05/03/2018 17:50

Oh god, yes, Lost In Translation. I’m sure I had the same ‘WTF?’ when it ended as I did all the way through.

MrsJayy · 05/03/2018 17:50

Is jude law in AI as a robot prostitute ? IF it is the same film i turned it off

MrsKoala · 05/03/2018 17:57

Lord of the Rings. I tried to watch it 3 times and switched it off.

NoFucksImAQueen · 05/03/2018 17:58

Burn after reading

DelphiniumBlue · 05/03/2018 17:59

Oh yes, John Wick. Dreadful film, can't believe I paid money to see it. Up there with Pokemon the movie and TNMT ( or is ir TMNT). Also Tinker Tailor, the only people I know who enjoyed it were the people (blokes) who'd read it first. No-one else seemed to be able to follow it.

Gingefringe · 05/03/2018 18:00

It must be 'Manchester by the Sea' - dull, dull, dull.
I can't believe Casey Afleck actually won an oscar for his performance in this last year - I couldn't understand his mumblings.

Dizzybintess · 05/03/2018 18:03

Worst film I have ever seen was called
“Freddie got fingered” it was abysmal!!!

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 05/03/2018 18:04

Ooh hang on, what about Poltergeist 3 though?

HazelBite · 05/03/2018 18:05

"Gone with the wind" is surely the most tedious load of rubbish ever!

WendyMad · 05/03/2018 18:12

I have this weird ambition to watch (or have watched) all the Carry On films. Trouble is, the later ones are so bad I've never managed to sit through more than the first 5 minutes.

But ... this Xmas we went away on holiday, and I got a bug. Two days running, DH took the DCs out, while I stayed in a hotel bed, with no company but the TV. I watched lots of rubbish, but my greatest achievement was to watch Carry On At Your Convenience right to the end.

Thank God, I can now tick it off my list, and will never have to watch it again.

ivenoideawhatimdoing · 05/03/2018 18:16

Oh my God, DH went through a horror movie phase and we watched every bastarding one on Amazon Prime.

'Where birds don't fly,' is THE WORST pile of shit I have seen in my life.

Fuck me, I'd rather go through two more hours of high school than watch that again.

Rockhopper81 · 05/03/2018 18:16

‘Manchester by the Sea’ - I went to the toilet 3/4 of the way through and sent my mum a message to say I’d be in the car when it had finished. I couldn’t bear to see it through and still don’t understand the hype over it. It’s the only film I’ve not seen in its entirety at the cinema and I’ll never get those hours back.

‘Black Panther’ was awesome, and I quite liked ‘Kingsman 2’ as well.

ElsieMc · 05/03/2018 18:16

Nooooo, love Drag Me to Hell if that is the movie with the old woman with the disgusting teeth/dentures that come out at the Bank and the ensuing fight in the car park. Comedy Gold. Who the hell thought that up. My DH has an absolute phobia of false teeth and his face was a picture of pure horror.

Am also fond of Bridesmaids and in particular the scene in the bridal wear shop. Shows my level of maturity. It is on about 40 minutes into the film and I always make sure I put it on then so I don't miss it.

Hate the Star Wars movies. So blood boring omg. Then they made more....

Viperama · 05/03/2018 18:20

No! It was that movie with Ewan McGregor and Renee zellwegger, they were singing. Oh I hated it so much, only watched a bit. Such a waste of resources and talent

Saggingninja · 05/03/2018 18:22

Worst film I've EVER seen and I have a high tolerance for utter shite was called SEXTETTE and it starred an 80 year old Mae West as young, sexy Marlo Manners, who is getting married to TIMOTHY DALTON (he must have had a fucking huge tax bill that year). Anyway - because MW is 80, they stick a load of Vaseline on the lens whenever she appears so you think you're going blind.

But that would be a mercy since Marlo is so fabulously desirable, that lots of other men show up at her honeymoon suite to beg her to come back to them. At one point Timothy Dalton dances round Marlo singing; 'Love Will Keep Us Together.'

I watched this movie at 2am, slightly pissed - on my own - and I went red - I was so embarrassed for them!

TheKurgan · 05/03/2018 18:26

The last two films I picked for me and DH to watch were utterly terrible:
Neon Demon - pretentious, nasty and unforgivably boring.
I Love You Man - I love Paul Rudd but this was a proper dud - he'd obviously been allowed to improvise at times ... big mistake. Huge.

WhoAmIReally99 · 05/03/2018 18:26

Yabu and obviously have never watched "lobster"

dramaticpenguin · 05/03/2018 18:26

we went to see the Revenant. WORST FILM EVER, why wouldn't Leonardo Di Caprio die?? And when he got inside a horse's corpse...urgh.

GingerBeerDrinker · 05/03/2018 18:27

I saw one called antibirth on sky a few months ago. Really, really weird, didn't enjoy it at all and I can usually watch pretty much anything

Seafoodeatit · 05/03/2018 18:27

Yes to pretty much all the films listed! which probably explains why whenever DH and I want to watch a film there's never anything I want to watch.

I watched mama mia, not sure if I can say how awful it was as I fast forwarded all the singing.

Love actually, is actually shit and the very similar films too, I always feel like I've slipped into narnia when a lot of family members say it's amazing.

the odd life of timothy green, what a load of crap.

Somebody wrote top cat a few pages back and couldn't agree more, WTF have they done to him???

La la land.

Lost in translation, maybe that was the point of the film? the bit where it becomes a watchable movie is lost on the audience.
