What's the worst film you ever manage to live through?

[PureBloodMuggle]

Currently have Sweeney Todd on.

OK so i might not manage to actually live through it which makes me subject title a bit misleading but I've succeeded in keeping it on for over 19 mins purely because I've so far been shocked ridged that a film the cast it has can be so so very awful.

Not sure awful even does it justice

The French Connection. Why film it in Chicago and tell me it's New York? At least bloody try and make it look like NY! Also I couldn't understand a word Gene Hackman was saying - all that mumbling!

The Matrix. I lasted about 10 minutes.

So glad other people didn't like 'Scent of a Woman'. Never have I been so disappointed and I love Al Pacino.

Mamma Mia. Saw the stage show, enjoyed it. Saw the film and wept for the dreadful singing. I love Julie Walters too, but not in that!

Just realised by phone changed middle to Middlesbrough. No idea why!!

Planet of the Apes...Tim Burton's version, wow, was that bad, however did Tim Burton get boring? I always attributed it to Helena Bonham Carter draining his strength. Luckily it was on DVD so switched it off.

The Mummy Returns....I wanted to leave the cinema but was with 3 other people. Then I had to sit through DH going through all the historical inaccuracies about the fighting techniques afterwards.

The Matrix, hell, here is sexy independent fighting babe, who meets Keanu Reeves and then becomes a 50's housewife clone with no life or thought of her own and stops kicking ass and stands there with a trembling lower lip. Utter, utter shite. The plot stank, and the hackers were just wrong on every level.

It would have to be a children's film for me too -

I've watched some dire rubbish with my children, and friends, and their children.
Usually their suggestion or so I claim !

A couple of years ago we went to see "Magic Roundabout" ( or whatever they called it )

• with a good and an evil Doogle, and a precarious walk across a swing bridge over a fiery chasm ! - I don't remember anything else, except possibly a blue roundabout !

Also I hate rats with a passion, and we have a running joke about the number of children's films I've been subjected to recently featuring these furry charmers ! - "Flushed away" and various spin-offs !

And I would also like to nominate Pirates of the Caribbean in all 3 films. Terrible acting, crappy plots, inane dialogue.

I can't believe someone managed to write and direct something so bad that I couldn't even sit there just enjoying Johnny Depp....oh, sorry yes, just thought of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not even Johnny Depp saved that one either.

I stand corrected: apparently French Connection was filmed in NY, so dh tells me. Gene Hackman still mumbled though!

The village - ridiculous crap!
Saw it in the cinema, took a long toliet break and went to the popcorn stand a couple of times, it was such rubbish. And dont get me started on the "twist" at the end...

ooh yes Pirates of Carribean 3 - 'twas the only one i have seen but i was virtually asleep before i noticed how bad it was. I then realised it had no plot. Not a great basis for a film

Existenz, back in the 1990s. My god! It was so bad and disgusting that several people walked out of the cinema.
Myself included [boak!]

Twilight. Dreadful, tedious bilge.

Also Event Horizon. Okay-ish scifi morphs into horror slasher halfway...WTF?

I found Juno boring and overated. Same with the Devil wears Prada. Dull Dull Dull

I didn't like Pan's Labrinth or Mama Mia either.

Mrs Parker and the Vicious circle was a huge dissapointment because I couldn't understand a word Jennifer Jason Lee said!!

Poor Nicole Kidman seems to be getting a lot of flak....Good. She was bloody awful in Moulin Rouge. Thought film looked ok but Nicole trying to do comedy makes me want to eat my own eyes so I never have to see it again.

My worst film ever is the recent-ish remake of 'The Hills Have Eyes'. DH dragged me to see it for his birthday and as we were with our friends I couldn't walk out. Am still slightly cross with him that I lost 2 hours of my life on such a load of nasty, pointless shite.

Miggsie, I second 'The Mummy Returns' - utterly dreadful. You could see where they couldn't be arsed to finish off bits of the CGI.

Couples Retreat - bunch of old tubby men married to skinny little minnies pretending to be middle aged (hair tied back, no make up on.)

Twilight- so full of teenage angst. i love you, i hate you, lets get married, let me shag this werewolf....

MoldyWarp, Tape was fucking dire...grand choice!

I disagree with the mentions of Fargo, The Life Aquatic, The Thin Red Line, Breaking The Waves, Naked (BLASPHEMOUS!), Sideways, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.
All perfectly decent to great films IMO.

10 of the worst,

Wassup Rockers
Vanilla Sky
Rancid Alluminium
In The Cut
À ma soeur!
Storytelling
Zazie dans le métro
Begotten
Garden State
Halloween (Rob Zombie)

Noooo, upahill, Pan's Labyrinth was amazing, gave me goosebumps. I've seen it about three times.

Vanilla sky! Groan... I wish I had never seen Shooting Dogs it was just so horrific in places and ds1 was only a week or two old so seeing that then was not good... There's a truly awful film I can't remember the name of it was a horror thriller type and the thing that was stealing everyone's eyes kept playing a song "jeepers creepers gota get those peepers jeepers creepers gota get those eyes...." bloody stupid stupid film turned out to be a giant frickin bat type thing bla

I would also like to nominate any film directed by Peter Greenaway.

The Mummy Returns synopsis: only this artefact can stop the Scorpion king! Lets have a sexy babe fight. Only this artefact can stop the Scorpion king! Another sexy babe fight. Only this artefact can stop the Scorpion King after another sexy babe fight!
Oh, we lost that artefact, the babes are no good now, they have their clothes on, so the man gets to do any actual hero stuff and just stabs the Scorpion King with a sword.

And some ignorant design team putting The Houses of Parliament next to Tower Bridge...May they all rot and perish.

Me too, Loved Pan's Labyrinth - cried first time I watched it when the little girl died x

Event Horizon and Pans Labyrinth are both fine films.

Peter Greenaway is a pretentious fanny but he has his moments. Drowning By Numbers is fucking incredible. I also love A Zed & Two Noughts.

Bad Santa is one of the finest films of our times

I also really liked Brotherhood of the Wolf, messy though it was.

OK, DH says it must be U451 or possibly U351... where the Americans captured the Enigma machine in WW2 and basically solved the code, the British being more concerned with filling in crosswords and screwing.

Total travesty, and an insult to all those who actually did capture the Enigma machine and crack the code.

X-men 2 actually drove me out of the cinema

Outlaw possibly the biggest disapointment of all time. An 18 certificate starring Sean Bean - naively I assumed he would at least get his shirt off but no, he just said Cunt. Once.

Last year (I think) there was an ad campaign running for the VW polo being a 'timeless classic' and part of this was finding the public's favourite 'timeless classic film' - not sure how widespread this was, remember there being a reasonable list of cinemas involved.

You voted for your favourite from a list of films that included Grease, Top Gun, Atonement, Sex and the City The Movie, Bridget Jones and Mamma Mia (not the best choice for classics) but you got two free tickets for doing so to see the film that won, but you wouldn't find out which film won until it started.

Dh and I hadn't been out for ages, dd was a baby and ds3 just two so not much room for time together so we were really looking forward to a night out.

I voted for Grease, it's not necessarily my favourite but I do love it - imo it was the best from the list though, would have been happy to see most of the films.

Stupidly excited at the cinema, Love a freebie of any sort and got a reasonable goody bag when we got there.

Film started and it was bloody mamma mia. Disappointed (and surprised) but thought we might enjoy it. Wrong! We lasted half an hour. It was hideous! Only film I've ever walked out of, it was so awful (and I've seen some crap!) Had to leave as dh and I were giggling so loudly thought we'd get told off!

So just went home

Animals United. That may be a recency effect, admittedly, but I think it will seem just as bad in a couple of decades.
