That one reeked. Except… Tim Roth’s performance as General Thade was something awe-inspiring to behold. :bowdown:
And I’m starting to think I’ll have to watch Armageddon again twitch, shudder just to put together a complete list of what a disease that movie truly is.

Oh that’s just wrong.
Braindead (Dead Alive you the americans) was very very good fun. And I don’t care what anyone says - I thought Frightners was great…
I agree that Dead Alive (Braindead) is a great movie. “Gore with humor” is what we call it.
Meet the Feebles was ok, but it was too long–you get the point in the first 30 min.
Re: AJ_23.
Yeah, The Frightners was a surprise treat when it first saw the light of day - that Reaper was bloody good CG!
Was that a Peter Jackson film?
ahhhh worst movies??
I have seen a few…actually heaps!! thanx to my weird friends!
FLED (it had laurence fishburn and something baldwin) I remember one of the line laurence fishburn said
“WE ARE FLED!” I still don’t know what he’s talking about.
HOODLUM (also had laurence fishburn) I slept through this movie, can’t believe I paid to see this crap.
POSTMAN this movie was such a typical patriotic blah blah blah movie. me and my friend laughed at this for ages! well the climax would have to be the end bit where Kevin Costner names his daughter “hope”.
well few others too but these were pretty much the worst movies that pop up in my head. as well as “power rangers!”, “mortal kombat”.
Has anyone here seen the JAPANESE movie “JUON”?? just curious
I thought Frightners was great…
Im with you on that, i thought it wasnt too bad. I liked brain dead, very funny, But has anyone seen “Bad Taste”?? Its one of his first movies, i understand that he made it with a budget that consisted of 2 cigarette butts, and is a “cult classic”. But DAMMM, i could not sit through all of it, i think my eye’s where melting.
“Blood Sucking Freaks” & “Metamorphasis” Those two are the worst ever. Trust me. :hmm:

Brain Dead is bloody brilliant. The scene when the guy falls off the cliff & the litres & litres of blood fly up is hilarious, the exploding sheep to is pure genius! 
or what about the start, when the zombie wipes his brains down the guys leg! Man, I just cant get enough of that zombie action… 
Yeah - Bad Taste is not a winner… but the part with the sheep exploding is almost worth watching it for (maybe).
And yes Boone - Frightners is Peter Jackson.
ok, ok i must admit there was one bit in “bad taste” that made me laugh. Its When one of the characters brains is falling out, so he straps his belt to his head to stop the leakage.
I would never of thought to do that:bowdown:
dead man on campus was pretty bad, I actually beat the crap outta my lil brother for renting that one.
Have you seen the title sequence for that one?
Another Kyle Cooper classic.
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
[could easily rank as one of the worse written and directed films of all time]
I’m a film student, and I’ve had to suffer through a LOT of movies… some of which were alright for some people, but damn if I didn’t hate them:
I got more, but I can’t remember what most of em are… weird foreign titles that never got translated for me…

(edit: just correcting vbCode)
>>>4) Tie - Blue Velvet and Lost Highway. I get a lot of flak for this, but I hate David Lynch. A lot. I understand what he’s trying to do, and that’s great, but it’s unwatchable.
Yeah you should get alot of flak for that and then made to watch The Straight Story in slow motion.
I am happy to say I have avoided seeing some of the movies listed here, but 2 that stand out for me for different reasons:
Battlefield Earth. I’m sure that when certain movies are made (like the Dude, Where’s My Car? genre) they know what they’re doing and why. It’s supposed to be what it is. Then there’s a movie like Battlefield Earth. It is so sh*tty - everything about it - and you know they were trying to make a quality sci fi film. I keep reminding my friend that urged me to see it with him when I want to shut him up about anything.
Godzilla (1998 - Roland Emmerich, Dean Devlin) . This is definitely not one of the worst movies ever made, but possibly, for me, the most disappointing. Just when you think something is cool or suspenseful is going to happen, an enlightening piece of information is revealed, they just take it 1 - no 3!! - steps further and ruin everything!! One of my goals in life is to find Emmerich & Devlin, beat them to the ground, and get my $10.00 back from both of them - snatch a bill right from each of their wallets.
Red Planet was pretty bad too. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.
“This is definitely not one of the worst movies ever made”
oh yeah, I forgot about that one. NOt only was it horrible, I couldn’t stand the way they made everyone act like an idiot.
For example>> the guys flying the helicopters between the buildings, and they yell we can’t see! it before godzilla eats the apache helicopters. I was like, man, your in a helicopter, go up and look down.
One of the best one-liners ever is from Braindead.
The crazed Kung Fu Priest vs zombie punks:
“I kick ass for the lord!”
Gotta love it. I have to see it again, it’s been quite a while since the last time. Also, the zombie baby is just awesome, especially when it’s taken for a walk. I always laugh like an idiot when I see that sequence
So yeah, back on topic.

yes!!! i agree 100% he must be the most overated director going. i mean he actually makes brestlook like a directing genius. sadly when i went to see the lost highway i was the only person in the whole audience who was in fits of laughter all the way through… though i wasn’t laughing at any intentional joke in Lost Highway.
the premise, the plot, the filmography, the acting, the concept, the directing… it was all superb, though maybe on second thoughts i shouldn’t have brought my portable dvd player and Raising Arizona with me to the theatre.
no seriously though, lost highway… this was a movie for fanboys only. at the time i put it down to that this might just have been totally off form, however afterwards leaving the theatre i voiced this thoght to a a friend of mine who then told me it was actually one of his better, a real return to form for him. needless to say i was incredulous.
the film had no redeeming features, from it’s hackneyed sub tarrantino moments that didn’t even make it to the dizzy heights of parody through to the misbegotten very-much-sub Terry Gilliam.
strangely for all that seemingly no art direction went into the film, it was so mindnumingly void of atmosphere that i was forcibly reminded of any number of 1970’s “future” movies also bereft of atmosphere (though usually with some redeeming features, for instance logans run did have tension) usually because of the idea that plasterboard=good futuristic set, and that everyone in the future must wear one peice clothing and walk like they’ve got a rod rammed up their backsides (probably from the super uncomfortable minimalistic future furniture, eg a bed=white plaster coated box with an orange pillow on one end, sofa=same box raised on two stone “legs” and with a with pillows at each end).
i guess if you really miss those 1970’s b-movies then lynch is still producing them. he’s not retro, he is retro… retrograde.
