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

Damage (or was it Damaged?) with Jeremy Irons and Julie Binoche.

Maybe Baby with Hugh Laurie and one of the younger Richardsons, written by Ben Elton. Cringingly shudderingly shockingly awful.

To all of you who have voted for SATC2 (and there seem to be a few of you) - what did you expect? After all, SATC the TV show was so dreadful, the films weren't going to be any good were they? Wild horses wouldn't have dragged me to the cinema to watch a SATC film....

The Happening.... I mean really - swishy grass?

I sat down to watch ALvin... the squeakwill - total pish.

Get him to the Greek - i watched on a plane and all films started at same time so had to sit thru it - it was ok..... but shat.

Whats that - oh the emporium? wonderful? we did pay per view and turned it off 15 mins in.

A dreadful film with SJP and Hugh Grant going into a witness protection programme. Cringey acting, cheesy plot.

strandednomore- nooooo the tv series was fab, quick witted, funny, different. Then the first movie was good too, not as good as the series but a more 'diluted' version of them. Made for easy watching.
The second did not, was embarassing for them and the audience!

I also hated The English Patient, in fact my friend and I walked out halfway through. I don't like Ralph Fiennes anyway, but honestly...

"what is this called" as he delicately strokes the hollow at the base of Kristin Scott Thomas' throat. Yuk! Also:-

Salt (fascinated by AJ but awful film)
Did you hear about the Morgans? (surely the end of Hugh Grant's career)
Escape from New York
Clash of the Titans remake
Dirty Dancing (What was all the fuss about???)
Legends of the Fall ("You are my son" gurns Anthony Hopkins through a mouthful of cotton wool)

Three To Tango is a shit film, but it did help get me and DH together; as many outings "just as friends", seeing this film which was unbelievably shite made us have to find other things to do, namely kissing on the back row.

The Kid is shocking - a disney film with Bruce Willis in it; it appears Disney try to ignore this film too

The Legend Of Baggar Vance was tiresome. DH calls it Baggar Pants

Brotherhood of the wolf is shite. I think it has subtitles too; so not only is the film bizarre and crap, you have to read the whole way through it.

I am not a lover of The Matrix, or Basic but mostly because I dont understand them.

With ref to SATC2, it isn't great; but it does have some funny scenes, and some particularly touching ones. Two scenes stick with me - Miranda and Charlotte talking about motherhood, and the scene where Charlotte locks herself in the kitchen pantry to have a good cry. The whole Carrie-Big-Aiden stuff is naff though. I did enjoy the first.

Re Twilight I am a sucker for Robert Pattinson, I watched Twilight and New Moon before I read the books, but now I do think they missed the ball one some transition from page to screen, there are some really nice parts of the books that are missed in the films. Eclipse is generally the best of the three films, but still only when viewed as films rather than book-to-film.

Another terrible film I've just remembered At Your Doorstep - shocking film, I was left traumatised by it.

Oh, and mamma Mia - at one point I begged DH, "make them stop"

I quite liked 'Three To Tango',

And what's wrong with subtitled films?

I love Ralph Fiennes,and The English Patient. I knew it'd be mentioned at least once on this thread,as it's one of those love it or hate it films.

Another few nominations.

Charlie's Angels.Surely someone must have mentioned it by now?

Ultraviolet

The Royal Tenebaums

About Schmidt

Detested with all my heart and soul Fargo - what a waste of my time and I think it even got Oscars!

Dogma (with Matt Damon) stands out in my mind as a film I could not watch further than halfway through.

So I'm not the only one who didn't like Fargo?

hmmm a lot of dissention over

magnolia (brilliant)
sweeney todd (entertaining)
moulin rouge (ditto)

seems you eithe love 'em or -not

Subtitles on a film are okay. If the film is good.
When the film mainly consists of very bizarre plots and people being chased and murdered, and far too much action on the screen, subtitles not okay.

Meet the Parents
Meet the Fockers

Am looking forward to not seeing Little Fockers.

I will give you my two.
They are without doubt the worst films in the whole, entire universee.

Blues Brothers 2000
The miracle of the cards.

The first is so bad it is almost hypnotic.
The second is just the biggest load of mawkish, insulting bollocky cancertainment ever.

I meant universe but got a bit carried away.

Premonition was total shite, nasty, hard to follow, poorly plotted with lots of holes in at all and a completely shit ending.

A kid's film, but Cats and Dogs. Utter crap. Very with DH for buying it for DS.

I'm not impressed by Happy Feet either. That Nicole Kidman again - very annoying film.

I'm finding all my old favourites here! What a useful thread.
I loved About Schmidt

'Subtitles on a film are okay. If the film is good.

Fair enough.

The royal tenenbaums, lots of dire horror films that I can't remember the names of and SATC.

Just watched the mark kermode review and now I definitely don't want to watch SATC2. Is the thing about trying to sexually liberate Middlesbrough eastern women really part of the plot? And the 'de-robing' of the burka clad women to find out they dress just like them? It sounds cringingly racist.

Australia with Nicole Kidman. Omg. Worst movie ever made imo. She was soooo bad in it I was actually cringing for her.
