Worst movies ever

[BlueHair]

The worst movie ever made has got to be "UHF" with Weird Al. After I saw it, I told a bunch of friends that it was the best movie I'd ever seen. They went to it and left shaking their heads, wondering what the hell was wrong with me.

To fit this category movies must be earnest; they can't be self aware. For example, any movie with a gratuitous topless scene can't qualify becasue it shows they are going for the quick buck, or at least aren't intending to be 'art.' So, pretty much anything by Andy Warhol would qualify, in my mind.

I alos thought The Notebook was one of the most painful 90 minutes of my life.

Amen brother.

The list of worst movie ever is too long but can be summed up as "any chick flick".

Somewhere in Time is my wife's all-time favorite movie; however, I finally realized many years ago that that is her problem, not mine.

Agreed about The Notebook. Simply awful.

I was about to go ballistic on you when you said earnest, but soon realized you weren't talking about the several masterpieces starring Jim Varney, so I quickly calmed down.

No! Rosie O'Donnell has ruined Betty Rubble forever, as far as I'm concerned.

And the movie was long but I found the detailed presentation of the chronology of the disaster, and the representation of the different treatment of first class passengers vs. "steerage" to be fascinating.

In other words, I fully understand why many people would not like the movie, but to put it in a list of "worst movies ever" is just crazy.

Dude, (notice the appropriate use of dude here ) Titanic is on the list of worst movies ever because it wasn't about the Titanic - it was about a fictional love story (well, let's call it what it really was - a story of infidelity by that whore Rose) that just happened to take place on the Titanic.

Had it been a documentary that only talked about the history of the ship, it wouldn't have sucked.

Sizzle...you no longer complete me. Kill Bill, both volumes, is awesome.

I'm with you there. Bad, bad movie.

Gummo was a disgustingly horrible movie. There was nothing redeemable about this movie. That movie wasn't even good enough to be considered the worst.

I have the same complaint about Pearl Harbor as IPU did about Titanic. You take one of the biggest moments in our nations history and make it a sidestory to a strange love triangle. Lame. Michael Bay missed the mark when he made that crappy movie. Cuba Gooding needed a better part, he's way better than Ben Affleck.

Good point. However, had it just been a documentary, it would have been aired on Nova or the Discovery Channel. Or the National Geographic Channel, perhaps. Would have generated a little buzz. But throw in the full Hollywood production on top of the fascinating history angle and you get this:

No other movie in history has even come close. Look how far ahead of the second place movie it is. Mind-boggling when you think about it.

I most certainly am serious -I do not understand the love affair with this movie? My wife and I tried to watch it and couldn't make it tot he end.
