Just to give you an idea of how bad this was:

Man dressed as giant tomato sitting around a campfire with a group of actual giant tomatoes (he has infiltrated the giant tomato army) apparently having dinner.
Man is about to start eating when he looks up innocently and asks loudly - "Anyone got any ketchup?"

Que screaming as Giant Killer Tomatoes devour him. lmao

This was made back in the 70s from memory. Some say so bad , its good but its just plain bad

Eraserhead

Absolutely the standard for me for judging all others, none have ever fallen below this one !

do yourselves a favour and NEVER watch it!

I didn't mind Eraserhead - couldn't really explain it to anyone though - perhaps watching it in an altered state of consciousness may assist.

Worst movies for me - anything with Sylvester Stallone in it - closely followed by anything with that VanDamme girly.

Lumping all Star Trek movies together - impossible. Some were crap (Insurrection) some were great (Wrath of Kahn).
Same goes for Star Wars - Episodes I-III don't exist, IV & V fantastic, VI - meh average.
Don't get me started on James Bond - anyone who says they all are crap hasn't watched many if any. The latest, Quantum of Solace, is probably one of the best ever. This is what Bond was like in the original books - a hard arse with a bit of ******* but still cool and suave. The later Sean Connery and Roger Moore movies turned him into the wise cracking gigilo that most of us know ( I like those as well

)
And finally Lord of the Rings - THE FINEST series of movies ever made. And to find someone that hates them leaves me speechless. I am without speech.

Anyways, different strokes for different folks, but geez. lol

P.S I like documentaries too!

Hahaha I just dont see the point in those type of movies, they seem only to encourage the mind into fantastical superficial and egoistic ideals.

I enjoy movies that have meaning and make you think, movies with a good twist.

I thought fellow astronomers were the same, guess i was wrong!? haha all good. We are all different

Soylent Green

"Soylent Green, is people!"

Glenhuon (Bill) · #33 20-04-2009, 01:02 AM

Ash, while most of us enjoy documentaries, who would'nt

. Now and again I like to be taken away from the "real" world and indulge in a little fantasy. How many things we have nowadays have had their genesis in the mind of a fiction writer.

Worst movies. One that comes to mind is Solaris. Book was OK but the movie was just plain boring, had 2 attempts at it, never got past 1/3 through. The other, who's name I can't remember it was so bad, involved some alien invasion and shot through a home video camera by someone from a party that was going on at the time. Reckoned it was really shot that way

Hey... How about all The Matrix Movies ? I.e. The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions

Who really understood any of it, eh?

All it did was to make Sydney look like Cyberpunk Central!!!

Note: I even read the 1984 William Gibson' novel "Neuromancer", that was based on the three main movies (and the DVD)! I didn't understand that well either!

"The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel"
Indeed. Describes it all very well!

Actually, I especially the Tarkovsky Soviet version made in 1972. Loved all the Polish Stanislaw Lem novel/books too! It was all about real and perceived realities in the world, and the unadulterated ancillary fictional nonsense we surround ourselves with in our lives. I.e. Twisted moralities, holding on desperately to relationships and even the illogical regrets of someone's demise from our own perspective.

Damn it. I'm getting angry now

The last 2 Matrix movies DO NOT exist, there is only the first - the chosen one. Awesome movie. The next 2 disappeared so far up their own backsides that no one could understand or like them.

My Gawd!

Are you guys for real?

I only bought two DVD box sets ever. One is the lord of the ring trilogy and the other the matrix trilogy

Recent examples include the Golden Compass, Don't Mess with the Zohan and War Inc (Starring John Cusack).

That last nomination is particularly hard to mention, since he's one of my favourite actors.

lacad01 (Adam) · #39 20-04-2009, 10:38 AM

"Pearl Harbour" would have to be in this list as well.

Catwoman is the only movie I've never been able to finish watching. Me and my mate gave up about half way through, and that was after forcing ourselves to watch it up to that point.

Horrible dialogue, horrible effects/lighting, horrible acting.

Not even Hale Berry in leather could save this most terrible production.

I feel sick just thinking about it.

EDIT: And Ghost Rider with Nicholas Cage sucked too, but at least me and my mate managed to force ourselves to watch it to the end.

EDIT2: Oh, Passion of the Christ was the only other movie I haven't been able to finish watching. How they could call a piece of torture porn a movie is beyong my understanding. Sick.
