Just curious, what is the absolute single worst movie you have ever seen? What are the runners up?
Seeing so many of you put Forrest Gump in your favorite movie list made me twitchy. I hate that movie with a passion. I would rather not watch any new movie ever again then sit through that one again.
Runner up would be Dumb and Dumber (I so wanted to walk out of that one) and The English Patient.
Movies I haven't seen but hate from the previews would be anything with Adam Sandler and Avatar.
This is all meant in fun, I just hate FG. I am sure many of you hate movies I love, I know Xanadu is supposed to be just awful, but I sincerely love it, not just because it is 80's and Olivia.

There are a lot of terrible movies that I havent seen because I knew they would be terrible. When dh and I were dating, we went to see Addams Family Values for some unknown reason. We walked out and went home and did "dating-people stuff."šš
Joe vs the volcano was really awful as well.

I hate that movie with a passion. ME TOO!!!! HATE IT. There's some movie from the early 2000s with Cameron Diaz that I went to with a couple girlfriends and we all hated it and walked out. I don't remember what it was called. Maybe The Sweetest Thing or something? There was another movie post-Trainspotting that had some of the same actors (I think Ewan McGregor starred?). They were like angels ro something? Anyway, it was the only thing DH and I have ever walked out on and he was SO excited going into it.

Grease.
As I've explained on here previously, when I was 10, my mom, brother, and I went on the vacation from hell with my mom's cousin and her kids. The entire drive there, they listened to the Grease soundtrack non-stop, on repeat.
I mean. I'll watch it if DH turns it on (his mom LOVED it), but it's torturous.

One Fine Day. So awful it made me swear off rom coms forever. Iām Gonna Git You Sucka. A fate worse than death. Surely the CIA is using it somewhere as some kind of torture by making suspected terrorists watch it in a loop 24/7 at 130 decibels.

There are movies I wonāt watch because Iām not a fan of a particular type of comedy, if I did Iām sure Iād have tons more to add to my list.
Of the movies Iāve started to watch but turned off because I just couldnāt get into are The Big Lebowski and ugh, the one with Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray. Oh, Lost in Translation. I know theyāre revered by many.

Usually I can tell which movies I won't enjoy, so I just don't go to see them. However, I have been duped a couple of times with the promise of something that sounded like it would be really it seemsgood...but wasn't.
Get Shorty - saw this a few days after it came out, it was billed as a comedy but it was SO violent, I hated everything about it and the only film I've ever walked out on.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - a remake of a classic, Kenneth Branagh, Robert DeNiro & Helena Bonham Carter...what could go wrong? Everything it seems. What a complete turkey. By the end where Robert DeNiro as the monster is dying his "dramatic" death my friend and I were in fits of giggles, other people must have known something we didn't because the cinema was almost empty. And the filming, they kept doing the thing where the camera spins around the room...I was almost sick.
Event Horizon - a good friend of mine who is a sci-fi buff talked me into this because he said he'd "watched enough girl shit" with me and now it was his turn to pick the film. Half way through I whispered to him "you owe me a whole year of girly films to make up for this". I had my face buried in his shoulder for a lot of this...even after the shock of the first person removing their own eyeballs - it doesn't get easier to watch as the next 5 people do it. There's a hell up in space...who knew? I wish I didn't.

The Nutty Professor with Eddie Murphy. It should have been called "The Smutty Professor" because they spent half the movie talking about t*tties. I took my kids and I would have walked out if they hadn't fallen asleep.
Anything with Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler. The Twilight series.

Joe vs the Volcano. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Love them but movie was awful We stuck it out and stayed to the end. The only movie I've ever walked out of was Rabbit Test starring Billy Crystal as the world's first pregnant man. TBH, I had to look it up to get the name right and didn't even remember Billy Crystal was the star. I did remember Joan Rivers was involved. DH has a love for anything martial arts related, which sadly includes Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. He willing gave up the right to pick movies for a year after making me sit through Timecop.

Into the Storm is the first movie that came to mind. I love weather disaster movies and go in knowing they are going to be ridiculous but this was so much worse in every way. There was no character development at all where I didn't care who survived and who didn't. They relied entirely on special effects but they were so random they didn't make sense. I felt like I had to buy DH dinner after that since he went bc I usually love these types of movies and sat through this atrocity.

Anchorman 2. I've never seen the original so I didn't have any context for what I was walking into, and I have no idea how I let my now DH convince me to watch the second one with him. We still talk about how there were several points during the movie where I didn't think it was possible for things to get any more ridiculous (and not in a good way) and yet they did.

I loved Lost in Translation.. but then we had been expats in asia and my husband did lots of work in japan.. we almost moved there..
I mostly avoid movies I don't think I will like. dh can go on his own or usually just waits til it is streamed.

Titanic. What an awful movie - I didnāt believe the romance between Winslet & DiCaprio at all. It was painfully bad.

Currently- Anything with Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler Eons ago: Hell in the Pacific. Iām not sure Iāll ever forgive my date for taking to to a small art house movie theater when it was rereleased. It has little dialogue. It was not dubbed or sub-titled. It was violent. It was, in a word, hell. Over 50+ years later that ādateā, (now my DH) and I still do.not.share the same taste in movies. And that my friends, is the story of why there is a TV in the master bedroom and how we have managed to stay married over 50 years.

The really popular one that most people love is Planes, Trains and Automobiles. It's excruciating for me.
The worst movie I have ever seen is called The Cube. The second worst is one I watched last week with DD when we were trying to watch Noelle, recommended by a friend. It turns out that the Noelle on Amazon Prime is definitely NOT the same movie as Noelle on Disney Plus.
