I had to take one of me offspring to see "Alvin and The Chipmunks" last Saturday, that was pretty balls.

The official, actual worst film of all time is Carry On Columbus. Any dissenting voices mean you like it, as far as I'm concerned. More controversally, I'd put 2001 A Space Odyssey as the second worst. Kubrick was an idiot, a sixth form student with a Beginner's guide to Philosophy under his arm. Pretty set pieces, though.

No-one would go and see Carry On Columbus anticipating a good film. I'd argue that this ranking should take into account the degree of expectation with which one entered the cinema, and the level of subsequent disappointment.

Therefore I'd vote for Bonfire Of The Vanities: a truly great book and a terrible, utterly pointless movie.

Has to be Dr. T and the Woman.

I do believe it was the work of one Robert Altman.

Bah.

I don't remember the name of the very worst film I've seen. It was part of a double feature with Bob Fosse's All That Jazz - it was a badly dubbed Italian film about a Stanley knife wielding ghost. Of titles I can recall, I can't make up my mind between Scorchers, a film that starred Emily Lloyd or Under Satan's Sun which starred Gerard Depardieu.

I still spit feathers when I recall that Joe Eszterhas was paid a reported record-breaking sum for a script containing some of the clunkiest dialogue and clumsiest plotting that you're ever likely to suffer this side of Holby City. Besides the fact that it's sleazy, unpleasant, sex-by-teenage-boys-smut, the most offensive thing is that it's bad, bad, bad. I hear that Stan Collymore is in the sequel, but I can't imagine things have improved.

is fantastic!

Anyway, I would say falling asleep during a film at the cinema, or walking out, is a pretty good sign of a very bad film.

So, I fell asleep during Star Wars - The Phantom Menace, and One from the Heart (great Tom Waits soundtrack, very boring film).

And I walked out of a terrible semi-animated thing called Cool World, and the Brangelina vehicle Mr & Mrs Smith.

Another big disappointment was Vanilla Sky, as I usually love Cameron Crowe's films (the presence of Tom Cruise should have been warning enough).

was dire, as I remember it. Trouble is, I haven't seen it for over 20 years and I might like it now.

..the most interminable load of cobblers its ever been my misfortune to wade through.
I literally began to believe it was never, ever going to end.
Even Keef's brief appearance fails to brighten it up.

The worst film ever is Love Actually: the most insidious thing about it is it's very very watchable. Palatable, but thoroughly disgusting on every spiritual level imaginable. Kind of like The Daily Mail. The first time I watched it, I felt physically sick, then it was on again one night and I just thought I'd watch it for ten minutes while I had supper by myself. I ended up watching the whole film, so underhand was its apparent charm. Evil, disgusting, smug, abominably written, sub-Woody Allen, atrociously acted apart from the Colin Firth storyline, and I suspect motivated purely by cynicism: there's a moment earlier in the film where Bill Nighy stops in the middle of recording his Christmas hit and says, "This is bollocks, isn't it?" "Yep" replies his producer. "Solid gold bollocks..."

I reckon they knew when they made it how well it would sell. That just makes it worse.

Shopping, starring a young Jude Law, attempted to add a glamourous sheen to the tabloid folk-devils of joyriding and ram-raiding. Much loved by style magazines of the time, this dreadful film included some of the most toe-curlingly awful dialogue ever to find its way onto celluloid.

Throughout the screening I was aware of people leaving the cinema. I gamely hung on to the bitter end.

I had the great misfortune to see a film called Little Man last year and it was completely unremittingly awful.

It was crass, coarse, vile, unfunny and honestly disgusting being grossly over sexualised for a 12A.

I loathed and despised it, it is the worst thing I have ever seen.

AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL.

The Steve Martin remake of Pink Panther was pretty bad too.

My all-time worst film (in terms of high expectation and failure to deliver) is also the aformentioned "Bonfire of the Vanities". A great book practically begging to be converted into an equally great film - Wolfe couldn't have set it up better for the prospective director. De Palma managed to get just about everything wrong in this film.

The second biggest disappointment was Paris Texas, which was extensively lauded by the cool press of the day. Despite the great Ry Cooder soundtrack and the presence of Nastassja Kinski (is that not enough, you may well ask!) I found nothing else there - 2 hours of emptiness (which may have been the point - it's over 20 years since I saw it, so maybe I should give it another go).

The two worst films I've ever seen at the cinema. I promise I was dragged along...

2. 8 Mile.

Awful awful awful. Rapper goes into acting to prove another skill. What does he play? A rapper. Due his clear lack, film is built around what he actually can do. Can he drive a car? Yes! So let's spend half the film with him doing just that. Oh, and don't forget a misplaced attempt at showing his gang as essential the good guys (the completely out-of-place scene where they burn the house down because a tragedy happened in it).

1. Scary Movie 2

The only one of the "series" I've seen. I dread to imagine what the others were like.

..."Fierce Creatures", the so-called follow-up to "A Fish Called Wanda". The worst films are always misfiring comedies.

"Sex Lives Of The Potato Men"? Is it because, like me, no one has actually seen it?

...won't let me forget that last week I described Spiderman 3 as: 1. Too long. Which I stand by. Most films should be done and dusted in 90 minutes.
2. A bit daft. To which I plead 'no contest'.

The worst film I ever paid to go and see was "Speed 2 : Cruise Control". I watched some of it again when it was on telly just to see whether it was really as bad as I remember and it really was.

There's actually some half decent action in the middle of it but it just takes forever to get there - they have to introduce everyone to Jason Patric, remind everyone who Sandra Bullock is, explain why she's now with Jason Patric, and get them on the boat. By the time they've spent nearly an hour doing that, you're pretty much past caring.

And then it all just fizzles out in an orgy of mindless destruction as the boat ploughs into and trashes a seaside resort (built at a cost of untold millions specifically to be destroyed - wouldn't it have been cheaper and possibly more exciting to somehow manage to stop the boat in time ?), before blowing up the huge oil tanker that they'd gone to great pains to avoid crashing into just half an hour earlier.

Shortly after this, they introduced the unlimited cinema pass - you don't mind the bad films quite so much because you didn't really pay to go and see them.

"Heaven's Prisoners, - never heard of it." that's the usual cry when I mention my worst, well emptiest film. On paper it's got some form...

Alec Baldwin
Kelly Lynch
Teri Hatcher - in the buff at times.
Phil Joanou (Dir. Rattle and Hum)

In practice it's a howler. I saw HP, 3 days after it's opening and the cinema was empty. There's a scene where a church bell chimes three times and I remember thinking "that's one chime for every pound wasted"

A waste of celluloid, money and everyones time (especially mine) the big surprise is that I stayed to the end. The only film I have ever actually walked out of is a Glastonbury documentary at the London Film Festival in about 1995, shoddy.

...the worst films you will ever see probably haven't even been made yet. By the way I love 2001 but I remember the line in Saxondale when he says he's going to see a longer cut of it, "I just want to see if that's possible."

I agree with the above post which talks about disappointments. I would therefore suggest:

The Beach (a great book which was exciting, funny and truthful / a film that starred Di Caprio, featured a running joke about cricket and Moby all over the soundtrack)

The Planet of the Apes remake (when I heard Tim Burton was involved I jumped for joy / when I saw it in the cinema my friends and I spent an hour in the pub barely able to say anything we were so upset)

Adventures In The Forbidden Zone!
In 3D! Yes! With those little red 'n' green goggles!

My girlfriend at the time worked evenings as an usherette (remember, kids, I'm old, this was a LONG time ago) in the ABC on the Whiteladies Road in Bristol.

Next door to the cinema was a fine drinking establishment (these days I think it's a Witherspoons, and I mean that spelling) and many evenings unfurled nicely with surreptitious free entry to the cinema followed by lashings of booze in the pub.

90 minutes of Spacehunter in 2.5D through plastic lenses and I couldn't keep a pint down.

Someone else who thinks 2001 is a pile of pap! Pretentious cr*p! Kubrick has made a couple of films I like (Full Metal Jacket, The Shining)but the Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman effort Eyes Wide Shut was dire!

Moonstruck
Kill Bill (purlease explain the fuss!)
Anythink with Keira 'pout' Knightley - sorry, she does my swede in!

I used to see a LOT of films. I always stayed to the end, partly out of a hope that things might improve (which they did, in the case of Rambling Rose); because I'd paid the money; and because I had a silly notion that it was somehow "wimping out" to walk out early. In that time I sat through some monstrously awful films:

Sliver, which made its stablemate Basic Instinct seem like Double Indemnity, and which had an ending which, quite literally, did not make sense.

Velvet Goldmine, which was so bad that it made me angry - made by someone clearly in thrall to Glam, but not understanding it at all. I was reminded - ironically, as it turned out! - of Dylan's immortal lines from Ballad of a Thin Man: "Because something is happening here/But you don't know what it is/Do you, Mister Jones?" I didn't dare go and see I'm Not There, as I've never been ejected from a cinema - or anywhere else for that matter - for throwing things at a screen.

Two of Altman's very, very worst: Cookie's Fortune and Pret A Porter.

I almost walked out of Magnolia, mainly because of the ghastly, overwhelmingly loud soundtrack music (by Jon Brion, not Aimee Mann's lovely songs) and the one-note screeching of some of the female characters, mainly Julianne Moore, for which I blame the director. The film did have some redeeming features.

No, the film that finally shifted that switch in my head was Moulin Rouge: after three quarters of an hour of being force fed caffeine, hammy acting, inexplicable sound effects and the not-as-clever-as-it-thought-it-was gimmick of anachronistic songs (Goodnight Sweetheart was more fun), I at last said to myself "Why sit through this torture any more? Go and get a coffee and reclaim your life." It felt truly liberating.

Not long after that, Chicago got the same treatment. Was I the only one who found it an odious combination of dull, hammy and misogynist? My personal tipping point was when the preternaturally charmless Richard Gere launched into "Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle..."

And as for Crash (not the Cronenberg one, which I found fascinating, but the Paul Haggis effort accurately described somewhere as a powerpoint presentation on racism), I'm convinced that it will come - and soon - to be regarded as the most overpraised, meretricious and sanctimonious Oscar-fisher in living memory. And did someone tell Sandra Bullock that if you just shout all the time, this constitutes Serious Acting?

It is of course true that no one sets out to make a bad film (except Peter Greenaway, arf arf) - how many film-makers get catastrophically lost, eh?

..Shining Through. Big budget bollocks writ large. Melanle Griffith is a multi-lingual spy in Nazi Germany who's (hey!) still a dizzy blonde. She's controlled by Michael Douglas who, as is the law in Hollywood, bares his horrible arse & has his end away with her. The lead performances are so bad that they make the Nazis seem positively adorable. John Geilgud's in there too - always a sign, sadly, of a movie's clunkerdom.
The film has gone into movie folklore for nice German Joely Richardson's reaction to the news that Grriffith is a spy :'Mein Gott! You've got guts'.

Theres the makings of a more comprehensive list if I had the time but off the top of my head - if you see any of the following on the cast list...
Patsy Kensit
Jean Claude Van Damm
Melanie Griffith
Eddie Murphy
Robin Williams
The Rock
then approach with extreme caution.

was Speilberg's homage to the great auteur. AI was just pants. prententious pants at that...which reminds me Bicentenial Man was rubbish too.

Wimbledon - Shameless Notting Hill-esque tripe, without any of the charm and with ultra-bland leads. Paul Bettany is surely the emperor's new clothes.

Match Point - Only US critics loved it, as they - and clearly Woody Allen - still see a London that only Father Brown would recognise. Dreadful.

Velvet Goldmine - Shite. Would make Paul Morley blush.

When A Man Loves A Woman - Meg Ryan will kill herself if she doesn't stop drinking. No one cares.

Help! - Stream of conciousness claptrap. Nice colours though.

Under The Tuscan Sun - I'm not the target audience, but every chick flick cliche in the book and more were thrown at this. Floaty divorcee starts new life in Disneyland-quanit Italian village and hooks up with "fun" lesbians, quirky locals and Zucchero-style suitor. They all live happily ever after. We slash wrists.

Let's see then, aside from the Kubrick ouvre, hows about:

The Seventh Samorai: So dull, so poorly edited- and lets not put it down to when it was made- Fritz Lang was making many more complex films 20 years earlier. Not a dreadful film, but in no way deserving of the blind adoration which is regularly piled upon it.

Weekend by Godard: Honestly THAT man thinks he's so clever. He's an idiot.

Pan's Labarynth: Sure, it's pretty, but it's just a tangling of two dispirate stories, with no decent melding nor finale. Puff.

There are many more but I can't recall them at the moment.

Don't know whether anyone remembers this family friendly stinker from 2001. My step-daughter had seen clips during a previous time at cinema so I took her along because she thought it looked funny.....

Oh my Lord, awful awful film. Plot synopsis:-

"Since the beginning of time, a secret war for control has been fought between two worthy adversaries: cats and dogs. Unbeknownst to humans, this struggle has been held in check by an uneasy truce. But that period of peace is about to come to an end. A power-hungry Persian cat, Mr. Tinkles, has broken from the fray to lead a massive feline movement against man's best friend."

Yes, it was that bad. As we were leaving the cinema I asked the time honoured question "What did you think of that film"? Up to that point the eight year old always enjoyed every film, on this occasion? She replied "That was completely rubbish" and "I didn't laugh once".

I'll never get that two hours back.......................

who thinks that Eyes Wide Shut is actually rather good? I'll admit it all goes a bit far, but the early stuff I think is one of the best studies of jealousy that I've ever seen. Mind you, unlike many of you, I struggle to think of a bad Kubrick film. And Paris, Texas is one of my favourites.

Terrible movie...I liked Knocked Up so was expecting more of the same, but it was just awful. Maybe as a 32 year old I wasn't the target audience but it just wasn't funny. I see it on so many Critics List of Best Movies of 2007, which I find amazing...is it just me?

What a stinker of a film. I couldn't listen to Bowie for months after seeing that. Oh, and Johnny English, with Rowan Atkinson. And any film which involves Richard Curtis

The criteria for worst picture ever are complex. It wouldn't be fair for example to just pic a low-budget horror movie because if it fails to frighten it may still amuse - brings to mind an old Frank Zappa skit involving a pup tent - and I think some of the obvious big-budget clunkers have redeeming qualities. Bonfire had the most glorious opening tracking shot ever and stays in my mind long after the mediocrity of the rest of the picture. My vote would go to a movie that doubtless has many fans, The Royal Tennenbaums. A triumph of flatulence, pretension and self importance, all that goes wrong when a mediocre talent is trumpeted for a fine picture and then given the dollars and freedom to 'experiment.' Wes Anderson's subsequent offerings have been as transparently shallow and inept, his 'talent' at last being revealed as limited and his puffers looking daft.

The Avengers. Let's take a classic British television show and put it through the American Mass-marketing and production system, take away all the wit and class that made the show great in the first place and fob it off on a public who... will not go and see it. Apart from the fact the plot made little sense and had holes in it big enough to get an aircraft carrier through. I was the only one in the cinema, perhaps the only one that paid hard-earned to see it...

The main attempt at personal pleasure was trying to work out the exact moment that Sean Connery realised it was a complete pile of crap. Unfortunately, it seemed to be about five minutes before the film began.

.. of the first time I ever saw my name in print in Word (as it then was and still is to me). It was in response to AC's original article, when I suggested that the trashy films mentioned were easy to mock (I think the phrase I used was 'shooting fish in a berrel') and that for a film to be TRULY bad it has to critically revered too. (At ths point 'the emporer's new clothes' is another cliche that occurs to me.) With this in mind, the worst film ever made is surely The Piano.
I did mention that Parting Shots was worthy of it's mention, if only for the part where Chris Rhea's doctor pronounces hinm terminally ill with a shrug of the shoulders and the sympathetic words, 'We've all go to die some time.'

if we are in a "lets put it out with the trash" mode then I'd like to dump two more tv show remakes [another HUGE neon warning sign to keep well back BTW ]

Thunderbirds, the acting in which was even more wooden than the original TV show, and the fetid dingo's kidney that was the movie version of Hitchhicker's Guide To The Galaxy, where they somehow managed to remove ALL the funny bits.

Alex Cox, Joes Strummer, The Pogues, Elvis Costello, Dennis Hopper & Courtney Love

What do they have in common you all ask.

The worst movie ever - Straight To Hell - a script my 6 yr old daughter would be embarrassed to hand into her teacher, the worst acting ever and Courtney before plastic surgery

God I've just remembered Grace Jones is in it as well

... Titanic has to get a mention. Dreadful, dreadful stuff.

I sort of enjoyed Hitch-Hikers Guide to The Galaxy (save for the happy ending) purely as every version of the story is different. I only saw the film when it was shown on telly recently, as I adore the radio series (so much so, the tapes wore so thin they snapped) and was convinced I'd spend my time in the cinema working out all the plot-point differences and steered a course away from the multiplex (but I nit-picked the film when it was on telly, anyway)

Oh, and for some reason 'Seven Brides For Seven Brothers' gets my goat...

I've been described as the Will Rogers of movies (I never met a movie I didn't like). I had to turn the disc of this film off 2/3 of the way through. Shaky cam to the extreme making me nauseated combined with a soundtrack that drive spikes into my brain and a backwards reveling plot not nearly as well done as Memento lead me to actually trash the disc as opposed to taking it in for resale and subjecting some other poor soul to the miserable experience.

A truly visceral reaction

I had a few hours to kill before a plane in Sydney, Australia. "Pearl Harbour" had just been released. I decided to go and see it. Here was a product of the agent system, a package of the most early 90s kind, pumped full of steroids and artificial colourants, digitised up to here so that not one second of it might prevail upon an attention span of a generation raised on video games. It takes a new kind of mediocrity to make a film like that so boring that fifteen minutes before the end (and don't forget this is getting on for three hours long) I got up and left. It was during the so-called Dolittle raid sequence, an inflated account of an actual American attack on Tokyo that had been appended in order that the people in Moose Droppings, Ohio should not be exposed to the deeply disturbing idea that in films, just as in life, sometimes you lose.

Those who seek to judge the worst film of all time must first watch "Boxing Helena".

I think I might be the only person to ever see it but does anyone remember the film La Passione which was funded by Chris Rea.
This is most def the worst film I have ever seen. It was a complete vanity project which involved rebuilding several 60's racing Ferrais from scratch so they could be used in the film. Which was a fantasy about a boy dreaming of being the 60's Ferrari GP driver Von Trips.

This Amazon review sums it up nicely

"Chris Rea is, of course, a hugely successful music artist, but he has no idea of how to make a film. I saw this at a preview screning, and could not wait for it to end. The film is a mind-numbingly dull travelogue of shots of speeding red Ferrari's, along with repeated shots of endless roads weaving through countryside, wild horses galloping, crashing waves, etc, etc. Occasionally the plot surfaces, a dull and unconvincingly acted tale of a boy's passion for red Ferraris, and there is a surpise cameo (and musical number!) by Shirley Bassey...the films only highlight.
I have no doubt that this was an intensely personal project for Chris Rea, but to subject the cinemagoing public to 90-plus minutes of aimless musing like this was a huge mistake. Chris Rea fans - buy the soundtrack. Everyone else, steer well clear."

That non-one's mentioned Honest yet.

I was actually in Absolute Beginers.

has to be in with a shout.

Two hours and two minutes of industrial Northern angst awash with the personal tragedy of a man saddled with a band who couldn't play well enough to give his music a voice, and a voice that couldn't carry his vision through the unbearable clatter made by his band.

That's Entertainment?

Am with you on that one - never understood the fuss about a band that made at best 2 half decent records. There have been countless films about stars spiralling out of control - difference is am not sure this man was ever a star.

Paris,Texas was a great film.

Love actually was complete tripe along with so many other 'navel gazing' romcoms as they are now tagged.

I agree that the Royal Tannenbaums was tedious even though it had a stellar cast list. I am also not sure about Eternal Sunshine - I couldnt work it out but maybe thats me.
Lost in Translation - lives up to its title - total bollocks.

The Song Remains The Same on telly the other night. It was so awful I ate my own leg.

had brilliant cinematography but the storyline was lame and the acting was mediocre. It is however only my opinion.
Saw The Kite Runner last weekend - now that is brillant!!

You could say the same for Mean Streets. Sometimes plot ain't everything. And, of course, speaking of opinions, that's only mine.

Gosh, aren't we polite here in Wordland?

Boy am I glad I live a long long way from a cinema. I must have saved hours and hours not watching films I didn't like.

Loved Paris, Texas and looking forward to seeing Control - maybe you had to be there at the time?

I've never seen any of the Star Wars films - are they any good?

Worst film? Just about anything with Hugh Grant gets my vote.

Dark Angel, with Dolph Lundgren; people were leaving the cinema in droves, right up until the point they realised that my taking the piss out of it was far more entertaining...

The only film I ever walked out of was City of Angels, a late '90's slushfest starring Nic Cage and Meg Ryan based, I think, on Wings of Desire. Having vowed never to waste time in a cinema again post-The Piano we managed all of 20 minutes before waving the white flag and heading for the sign marked "Ex t".

I liked Control although I can see why it would be time wasted if you didn't like Joy Division? It was hardly going to convert you.

halfway Vulpes. ( Gosh, has anybody actually managed to watch it that far?? )

True Lies has got to be right up there. I know it was meant to be tongue in cheek, but really. I had to leave when Jamie Lee Curtis escaped from a building by holding on to a helicopter blade. Nonsense.

I've always been partial to a little Frank Zappa music, but that movie of his, 200 Hotels? What in the name of Christ was he thinking?

Whilst I'm at it, I've always been partial to a bit of Pink Floyd, but never again am I going to sit through two hours of pontificating, anti-establishment, desert-living, free-loving hippies just to hear 'Careful With That Axe Eugene' soundtrack an explosion. And those other Floyd-soundtracked films 'La Vallee' and 'More' were shite too. What were 'the' Floyd thinking?

"Going to the gents", I whispered to my companion after 20 minutes of the appalling tripe that was The Accidental Tourist. Spent the next hour or so in the bar at Windsor Arts Centre, slipping back into my seat in time for the credits. "Wasn't feeling too good," I reported. She was concerned. What a rat I was. Relationship doomed. "Much better now though. Curry?" No regrets.

must be high on the list of "mysteriously praised" films. Smug, unbelievable tosh.

not the remake. the original 4 hour Russian epic.I have to admit I am not quite sure whether it is the worst film ever made or (oh dear) really really good, full of deep insight into the human condition....or something. I just can't be bothered sitting on my arse again for 4 hours to make up my mind.

LEONARDO DICAPREO HANDCUFFED TO A PILLAR IN THE SINKING TITANIC SAYS TO KATE WINSLET WHO GO'S OFF TO GET HELP FOR OUR HAPLESS HERO `I'LL WAIT HERE` HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD!

Mine would have to include "The Phantom Menace"-a dire Star Wars comeback as are the other two sequels and "Rocky Balboa"-appalling.

A vote for Cop Killer starring Johnny Rotten/Lydon and Harvey Keitel. More notorious than watchable. I was reminded of this film while watching Red Dragon on telly last night (well the wife was watching while I dozed on the sofa). Adverts every 10 seconds and a long break for the news - movies for the incontinent!

Earthquake, Jaws 2-10 or however many sequels there were, ditto Nightmare on Elm street, ditto The Omen sequels, Charlies Angels,Fame,Porkies ad infinitum.
Might be easier to list the real classic films.

You all need to thank your lucky stars that you don't have friends like my boyfriends.

They bought him a double dvd - Moulin Rouge & Shakespeare in Love (his favourite films are imported horrors, subtitled wonders such as Life is Beautiful, City of God).

So boring that the high point is a frigging plastic bag blowing about, which is some how supposed to be an emotional moment. Oh and I can't believe nobody has mentioned 300, which was just terrible.
White men can't jump is probably the worst thing I've seen at the cinema though, with the added annoyance of the most irritating voiced actress ever, Rosie Perez.

Worst. Film. In. The. History. Of. The. World.

So much talent wasted so pointlessly, and hours of my life just sucked away into a bleak hole of nothingness.

I never thought it would be possible to make a boring war film - how wrong I was. Terence Malick has made just a handful of films in his seemingly unstoppable career. A handful too many if you ask me.

I appreciate the beauty of nature and man's impact on the world as much as the next man. But if I want a couple of hours of that I'll watch Powaaquatsi, thanks very much, not a supposed war film featuring A-list stars.

I kept thinking it would be the first film I'd ever left early, but held on in case something happened. Sadly, nothing did.

both American Beauty and The Thin Red Line.

The Thin Red Line, but I really did struggle with American Beauty.

Waste of time, talent and money - theirs in making it, mine for paying for admission.

but sticking to supposedly worthy films, my least favorite is Last Exit to Brooklyn, never been so depressed in the name of entertainment. Maybe I should have read the book first.

Ken Russell's 1986 film Gothic is fairly terrible too. IMDB seems to quite like it but it is laughably ridiculous with much actorly scenery chewing.

Has Closer been mentioned? Could not believe had bad it was, not even the beauty of Natalie Portman could save it...although she does go from one extreme to the other, good films like Leon and Garden State and then tipe like Closer and the 3 new Star Wars where Lucas decided space is such a small place every character is connected in some way!

I absolutely despise this film and have done since day one. Truly appalling

and he insists The Exorcist II: The Heretic is the worst film ever. Or Norbit. Could go either way...

Cant believe nobody's mentioned this "classic" load of cobblers. Only topped by the previously mentioned Boxing Helena for which the writer, director, cast and everyone involved should have been banned from ever making another film.
And an honourable mention must also go to british comedians for giving us Bloodbath at the House of Death, Drop Dead Fred and Hotel Paradiso.

..that after reading all of the above i appear to have seen more shite than the average. Thought my taste was impeccable - most disappointing. Now, i don't think that anyone has mentioned 'pret a porter' yet. Girlfriend (now wife) fell asleep on an early date with me at this one. We should have seen the signs...

A Lot of the recent stuff by Edward Murphy, ex of Scary Spice is pretty atrocios. Norbit is just awful. The last Spiderman bored the pants off me, but one of the worst has got to be Pedro Almodovar´s The Bad Education. When he´s good he can be great but this was a pile of twaddle.
