Cringeworthy films

[suedonim]

What's your most cringeworthy film? Dh recently bought a v cheap dvd of Neil Diamond's the Jazz Singer. I knew when it came out that it was a bad movie but omg, when I saw it again, it's so terrible, I had to hide behind the sofa!!! Good sound track, though....

High School Musical.

stayin' alive

Do we have to own it? Or just admit to forking out the money to see it at the cinema? We saw Oceans 12, and I would crawl across burning coals to avoid sitting through it again. I don't know why we didn't just walk out - I suppose that we thought that it has to get better at some point.

No, you don't have to own it, you just have to regard it as the finest form of torture known to man!

I saw a dreadful film with Lindsay Lohan and Jane Fonda in last year, so awful I've forgotton the title, ....oh yeah, Georgia Rules. We walked out.

Good Will Hunting, especially Minnie Driver's character.
Titanic (most recent version).
Forrest Gump.
Being There.

To name but a few.

I LOVE the Jazz Singer!! I used to know it word-perfect.

C'mon everyone put on your sparkly shirt- all together now, one, two, three:

'They're coming tooo America!!!!'

anything on zone horror.

Unpopular viewpoint I know, but I find Four Weddings, Notting Hill and the rest of Richard Curtis' "oeuvre", Crap, Actually. Ugh.
Honestly Notting Hill is the worst thing I have ever seen half of. Although Austin Powers runs it a close second.
There were some corkers coming out of France in the 80s though...Tenue de Soiree, La Lune dans le Caniveau, L'Ete Meurtrier, A Nos Amours, anything by Leos Carax...dh refused to come to the cinema with me for months after Tenue de Soiree. All of them over-sexed portentous violent trashfests. Sigh, those were the days!

Holy Cow, Good Will Hunting. I only saw a few minutes of that too.
Robin Williams is my cringiest actor. That one about the hospital clown, Patch Adams

Oh yes, Richard Curtis - awful. Also agree with Robin Williams, altho' the photo developing one was OK. Shame, cos he was extremely funny standup.

good will hunting
4 weddings and a funeral
what's the title of that one with gwyneth paltrow in London leading a double life, it was crap.

sliding doors, that's the title

and the holiday, jude law being the most cringeworthy of them all

I have only ever walked out one film. The Talented Mr Ripley. Appalling. Though goodness only knows how I ever managed to stay in my seat for the whole awfulness of Sliding Doors. Even Worse.

And at the other end of the cringing scale - Gangs of New York - not only for its really nasty and unremitting violence, but Daniel Day Lewis's acting.

i agree with the richard curtis films, mush

The worst film in the world is called 'The Miracle of the Cards'. It is vile. It is the ''''true'''''(many inverted commas) of a little boy with a brain tumour who asks to be sent get well soon cards. The film shows an english children's oncology ward and all the kids are in old army camp beds with old blankets on them! All the kids are on their own apart from this little lad whose saintly (she actually glows) mother croons to him and mops his brow. She actually cures his cancer with her lurrrve for him.

I am sure the real family are fantastic but the film sucks.

Yes I am a little obsessed.

lol at DDL's acting ! he was good in the last of the mohicans though

The Richard Curtis film that makes my teeth itch with it's awfulness is Love Actually - especially the bit where the PM does that speech telling off the horrid American president with all that us-British-will-not-be-bullied stuff .

A non-Curtis one - Indecent Proposal - I literally fell off my seat at the cinema laughing at the "moving" ending!

SLiding Doors is excrutiating bullshit - who cares if that dumb bitch achieves monogamy or not? Notting Hill is grim and, frankly, bordering on the racist (why set a film in Notting farking Hill and not feature a single non-white character?)

I am rather proud never to have seen Titanic. I believe that is very bad too.

and again, what's the title of the one with michael douglas chased by glenn close???

no mazzy, titanic is not half as bad as sliding sodding doors, i'm afraid. though I cannot stand kate winslett.

Fatal Attraction Franca?

House on Haunted Hill
Although it's worth paying the money just for one scene with a very amusing killer cat

Oh, Marina, I love you - all the Richard Curtises and Robin Williams - mwaah!
