Waterworld. Only movie I ever walked out of. Yes! Waterworld. Some of others don't seem as bad, but that was a bad one. I feel like you have to know what your getting into if you see a Tarantino or Wes Anderson film. Sometimes I watch films for the spectacle of it knowing that it's not really something I may like. I also did not care for Power of the Dog, though I sort of liked the theme in the end.

Possibly not the actual worst film I’ve seen, but certainly up there. Billed as a dark comedy, but for me much more of a dark head-scratcher: The Banshees of Inisherin. I laughed once, cried once (at the donkey) and left feeling even more depressed than I was going in. Really, it was depressing as fuck.

It was a kids movie and I think Will Smith played a fish. The things parents will sit through for their children.

I don't watch too many movies, so I've definitely bypassed most ones that sound awful or that are known to be awful. Of the popular or popular-ish movies that I just really didn't like, I'd say You've Got Mail and Last of the Mohicans for me.

There are a lot of movies I won't watch just because I don't like the actors or slapstick/gross out comedy. Of the things I have tried to watch, Napoleon Dynamite comes to mind. It was just stupid. I did not get it at all. My daughter loved it, of course. I did walk out of a movie once back in the 80s. I don't recall the title of the film, but it starred John Ritter and Julianne Phillips. OK, I googled it. It was called Skin Deep. It was just awful. Also, I tried several times to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey. I cannot get through that movie. It bores me to tears.
ETA: I also hated Bridesmaids. Ugh.

I laughed once, cried once (at the donkey) and left feeling even more depressed than I was going in. Really, it was depressing as fuck. I just watched that and it was more of a character study with no point. Not bad, but not very engaging as a story. I loved the scenery and that's why I watched it. I have pretty much no idea what the younger kid said for about 75% of the movie--unintelligible. Reinforced how happy I am that my ancestors left that depressing place (Ireland) en masse so it could return to a beautiful place we all want to go back to. I actually would love to walk into work some day and just no longer speak with a couple people. "I don't like you anymore." It probably feels great. But I did feel bad for poor Colin.

We can't be friends. That was #1 on my list on the other favourite movie thread. (I'm joking about not being able to be friends. My very best friend since 1974 also hates Pulp Fiction.) AussieMeg schooch over on that bench. I love Pulp Fiction!! -- I don't know if it's worth $5, but it's pretty effing good.

The one that will always be at the top of my worst list, Dave Made a Maze. By far the worst thing I have ever seen. I honestly sat there wondering what the hell I was watching the entire time. From the story to the acting to the horrible puppetry, yes puppetry. So bad, just so bad.

Anita I didn't like Bridesmaids either!!!! but RosieKat I think I've seen You've Got Mail 27,436 times, or close enough - I can recite if for you if you'd like LOL So I gasped out loud that it was your least favourite! When I was in high school I worked in a few movie theatres, and in those days they were single screen theatres not multiplexes, and from the candy bar it was open behind us to the theatre so we heard EVERY. SINGLE. MOVIE. I can recite so many, but mostly Big, Dirty Dancing, and Aliens stand out the most from those days (late 80s)

My parents took us to see that in the theater. It scared me! The only thing I can remember are the monkeys hitting that big silver object. I think that is the ending? Anyways, I have had no desire to watch the movie as an adult.

Anita I didn't like Bridesmaids either!!!! Count me in on that too. I'd forgotten how much I hated that movie. Another time I was looking forward to a comedy and it was just full of gross horrible women. Petty, bitchy & stupid. If these were my choice for friends...I'd rather be alone.

I thought of more, sort of. As a teenager, I loved watching Mel Brooks movies, and other funny movies from back then. Ever since we met, my husband said that he can't stand those movies, and that he didn't think they were funny at all. I watched "Spaceballs" a few years back, thinking I would cry from laughing so hard. Spoiler alert: I didn't. When I thought about it, I figured out that it was just the memories I had that were connected to watching these movies. Back then, my friend who introduced our group of friends to many of these movies, had the most infectious laugh. And he thought these movies were hilarious, so much so that he would literally roll on the floor with laughter. He could recite every single line word by word from beginning to end, and he would laugh so hard that everyone around him just couldn't help but laugh, too. And to be perfectly honest, it's the same with Monty Python. Yes, they're cult classics. But if I hadn't seen them with my friend Andi way back then..... there is no way I would laugh at most of them. We do still watch them, laugh about them and most certainly quote them, but truth be told..... they're not my kind of movies, and I'm 99,9% certain that I would absolutely hate them if it wasn't for Andi.

OH! I totally forgot one.
I hate ET. It scared me as a child, and now I refuse to watch it to this day.

"Love, Actually."
I simply do not understand the love for that movie. I think it's horrible.

I don’t love 2001, but I do appreciate it, it is a flat out gorgeous movie. I have only seen it in the theater though, there is no way it would be as impressive at home. I do like the middle part, but I fully admit I do not fully understand the beginning or the end.

I cannot stand Jim Carrey. I also can't stand Tom Cruise. So any movie with either of those two people is excruciating for me.
My favorite bad movie is another thing. This movie is so awful but I watch it every single time I come across it: Road House. I love that movie- it is so bad. The writing, the acting, the dialogue. Awful. And yet I can't stop watching it. "Pain don't hurt".

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. I also hate Dumb and Dumber. Also Avatar and anything with Adam Sandler. Blue Lagoon and the Brooke Shields version of Endless Love were 2 of the worst movies I have ever seen. I will also throw Signs in there.

To be fair, I only saw it once (since I didn't like it, obviously!) and I do seem to recall being kind of grumpy then. So I'm probably wrong.

i don't care for jim carey or will - forget his name - elf guy - movies at all. although they both seem like nice people, and will guy was okay in dad one with marky mark and jim carey i liked in the truman show. other than that, i have not liked anything either of them has done. specifically elf... i just do.not.get the fondness for this movie!!
also, saw tons of animated, family movies with the kids - pretty much all of them? we all hated ice age movies.
