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. I see your Signs and raise you The Happening. Just so dumb and with the worst acting (by normally good actors) I have ever seen. |

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. I have never seen the Ice Age movies because the animation style is so grotesque. Why are all the characters so unappealing?? |

Has no one else been the victim of Eraserhead by David Lynch? It made no sense, was hard to watch and I just left the room after a while. Someone took all of the drugs when they thought up that movie.

Digimon and Stuart Little. I will sit through painful tooth drilling before seeing either of those movies again.

The thing about that movie is you have to just be in the mood for weird. I saw it as a young teen since it was a cult classic. I watched it again as a young adult, the baby still delights me. Watched it again as a fully grown adult and the industrial gloom really resonated with me at the time, being depressed about moving to PA and it felt very Filthadelphia to me. So i started reading what David Lynch had to say about it and LO AND BEHOLD it had a lot to do with his shitty experience living in Philly when he was young. It all made so much sense. My DH bought me a handmade doll of the baby off Etsy one year, it's delighted me ever since. It came with a little ticking pillow and lives in my Cabinet of Curiosities. I have some old 1920s 78rpm albums that kind of replicate the sound of the movie. How's that for a pointless side story, ha, sorry! |

Clockwork Orange. So many people found it amazing, life changing, blah blah. For me it was like a fever dream.

For me, anything with Will Ferrell. I don't know why, but I just cannot stand him. I'm aware that soooo many people love Elf at Christmas time, and I had never seen it because of Ferrell, but just this past week, I decided to give it a try. I lasted about 20 minutes and said 'Nope'.

I so agree with this! We put it on the other night and 'almost' made it to the end. I fell asleep, I was so bored. Bad, bad movie. |

I just thought of another one, although I had to Google to make sure I had the right name. Django Unchained. Horrible movie, so much killing.

All the glowing commercial reviews of The Banshees of Inisherin led me to see this movie. Colin Farrell's acting was quite good, but what a damn stinker of a movie. Heartwarming my ass!

I thought Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut were both torture. Eyes Wide Shut was what immediately came to mind when I saw this thread title. There was so much buzz about this movie before they even started filming it and the press declared it to be one of the all-time great movies before anyone (including the press) had even seen it. That movie was so bad! The only thing entertaining about it was listening to the reactions of my fellow moviegoers. I’m still convinced a group of junior high boys came up w/ the plot for that movie during P.E. class. |

Transformers and Megan Fox in her white jeans that never got dirty.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - what was Benedict Cumberbatch thinking!! It must have been the money.
Six hours of my life I will never get back 😞

I thought of 2 more- Man on Fire with Denzel Washington (who I love) was very traumatizing. Never again.
Sharkboy and Lavagirl- watched it with my DD and oh my goodness,,, it was horrible. Acting, plot, effects,,, everything!
