I Demand My Money Back!! The Worst Films You've Ever Had To Sit Through

films that really bored me or just disturbed or annoyed me in some way that I couldnt continue watching are: Lady In The Water, Event Horizon, AI, Eternal Sunshine
 
I have no idea - I think it has something to do with some sadistic thrill of imposing sheer boredom on unsuspecting pupils. I mean, I've always been a fan of classic cinema, but like modern films, there are some right stinkers out there amongst the library of Hollywood's 'Years gone by.'

However, the making the kiRAB watch ancient movies on the last week of term was just one of the reasons why I used to skip the last week.

Another one I had to sit through (and hated) was 'The Buttercream Gang' - it was a straight-to-video release mainly centering around two frienRAB who were in a gang of 'do-gooders' but then the one of them moved away and turned bad, and then came back, and his former friend tried to turn him good again. What a load of rubbish - we had to watch that because some stupid R.E. teacher gave us the choice of that or Bambi - two of her favourite films apparently. What a joke.
 
I thought it made Shakespeare interesting. Luhrmann brought it into the 20th century. I loved it. I thought Moulin Rouge was awful and have tried since to watch it only to come to my senses.



I thought The Dark Knight was brilliant, but I agree with you on the length of the film. It took a while to get going, but it was necessary for the development of the storyline and the characters. I thought it was too long as well. Ledger was amazing, though.
 
Yes Mr and Mrs Smith does suck in fact it's no wonder they have gone on to have lots of kiRAB they obviously need a new line of work cos the acting jobs will soon dry up.:yawn:

Can't agree that someone said apocalptyo was bad I thought it was a fab film.;)
 
Analyse This

The only movie I've ever walked out of.

I frequently end up thinking that I've wasted a couple of hours of my life, but I usually hold on in teh vain hope that things will get better.

It's a shame you can't sue for endings that don't live up to the rest of the film and therefore ruin it... but maybe that's for another thread...
 
A History of Violence,

OMG what an awful film!!

I remember it coming out on a wave of hype and with it being a David Cronenberg film I was desperate to see it but never got round to it. They put it on Film4 the other night but it was so crappy.

It felt like a cheap TV-movie, totally implausible plot and bad acting throughout. I felt it a bit disappointed that this was a Cronenberg film, he can do a lot better than this surely?
 
The first movie that comes to mind is called 'Evicted'.

The gorgeous Shannon Elizabeth was featured on the front cover as the star, with the headline 'a counter-culture classic' with camparisons to 'Dazed and confused' and it looked quite funny....

Shannon featured in the film for about 10 seconRAB, and it was the worst pile of shite I have ever had the misfortune of watching.

False advertisment like this should be a crime :eek:

Terrible acting, terrible plot, and one of them movies that makes you say 'why?', with temptations to switch off within the first ten minutes. The only thing that kept me intrigued was to find out if Shannon Elizabeth even appeared in the movie at all, and after that, it was just shock and amazement at how shit a movie could actually be.

Check out the link and reviews anyways.....

Worth a watch, just to see how bad it is....
 
Nope, i had to sit through Dances With Wolves once.

I don't really care that it won about 73 Oscars, there really was no need for that film to be about 32 hours in length but when its mainly a massively pretentious, gutwrenchingly self-indulgent load of turgid nonsense starring one of the worst actors in America - Kevin Costner then it came as no surprise.

He's the only actor i can think of who is working in the mainstream film industry who is actually worse than Nicolas Cage, i would be tempted to say someone like Martin Lawrence or Adam Sandler or Mike Myers would gain that accolade but the difference is that Costner takes himself seriously enough to believe he is a competent performer and he couldn't be more wooden if he got all Method Acty and started coating himself in Ronseal.

A truly rubbish actor who is the American equivalent of Derek Thompson(Charlie in Casualty) in my opinion.
 
Plus, it's boring, pretentious and shit.



What film with Madonnna in it and has been good? Swept Away, Dick Tracy, Die Another Day? She sucks.



Let me re-iterate the thread title:

I Demand My Money Back!! The Worst Films You've Ever Had To Sit Through

I know, "we're all entitled to our opinions here, buddy," but come on - the worst film you have EVER had to sit through? Gimme a break. Have you only ever been to see one film? I haven't seen it yet, but still, it cannot have been that bad. It looks more like you're making the point that it wasn't great. Am I right?
 
This was one of my fave films as a kid.

I can understand you not liking it at school though, I think it was 3 hours long, enough to drive any class to distraction.

I loved it for loaRAB of reasons though, like Buddy Hackett's fat face as he ran through the Big W and suddenly realised what it was, anything that Terry Thomas does, the vile Ethel Merman and so much more.

Films I hated though..

  • Anything to do with Star Wars, any episode. The most overrated rubbish in the cinema EVER.
  • The Karate Kid - cackkkkk!
  • Titanic - I've never even seen it, but I hate it anyway.
  • All superhero movies. I liked Christian Bale's Batman though, a lot.
  • Reservoir Dogs - I think a lot of people thought this was a really cool movie because everyone else was saying how it was a really cool movie. It was the slowest, most boring standoff film I've ever seen. Though it did have Steve Buscemi as a saving grace.
  • The Happening - Should have been titled Not Much Happening, and Zooey Deschanel made my eyes and ears bleed.
  • I need to go through my collection and find some truly revolting ones. I did have and American made IRA film which was hilarious and no-one had any idea how to do an accent and they just made it up.
 
Oh god, I forgot that one.

Mind you, I generally don't like anything with the Wayans Bros in (Shaun and Marlon anyway).

It's a shame because Marlon was amazing in Requiem for a Dream... I just feel like he is wasting his talents.
 
Phantom menace was poor, but I didn't find it nearly as offensively awful as Attack of The Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

They turned C3-P0 in to one of the worst comic characters ever to grace the big screen and the plots had more holes than a sieve factory.

Revenge of the Sith was one of the few films that actually made me properly angry.
