Worst film ever candidate

PhilW1

Watched Holmes and Watson last night , thought with Will
Ferrell and John Reilly it might be quite humorous.
Biggest pile of shit ever,,worst accents and acting by a big name cast ever.
Just awful drivel..how these “Hollywood Superstars” get away with it I’ll never know.

Winner - Inspector Gadget

I took my at the time about 10 and 12-year-old niece and nephew to see this, because it looked like a bit of lightweight fun. When we came out they didn't say a single thing about it - usually they'd be enthusiastically re-telling the best bits - and the expressions on their faces were pretty much "how do we get those two hours of our lives back?"

Utter drivel, nowhere near close to funny, and not even rescued by being so bad it's unintentionally funny in a different way. If I'd realised how bad the kids thought it was by about a third of the way in - as they later told me - I'd have walked out and taken them for an ice cream or something.


Runner-up - Coyote Ugly

I actually can't remember that much about it any more, thankfully - just that it was incredibly predictable, poorly-acted and directed, clichéd crap... without even enough nudity to make it amusing after a few beers.

The Room

Some people will tell you that it's so bad it's good, but actually it's just shit.

The Disaster Artist, that is about the making of it, is good though.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin

Eragon.

It wasn't an entirely voluntary choice, it was the only subtitled English language film in a Chilean cinema and we had a few hours to kill before catching a bus.

I'd call it shit, but that would be grossly unfair to shit.

Which is a shame because the books are great.

In the last few year ‘Left Behind’ is top of my list of movies that I really should have switched off after a few minutes.

I love a good bad movie but bad is in shit? Well I had to go and see Pixels because I took kids from school, absolutely shit, offered nothing as a kids movie and less for the adults

I watched the Ferrel and C. Reilly Sherlock Holmes the other day too, gotta agree it's pretty bad like, and I'm normally a big fan of them two together.

Worst film ever though? I'd say When Saturday Comes, Sean Bean finally realises his lifelong dream of playing for Sheffield United. Utter pap.

Many of Michael Caine's films must be contenders but the worst of them has to be The Swarm (killer bees attack America).

Whatever one with Will smith, farries and ogres/orcs whatever is unwatchable.

6% on Rotten Tomatoes. I used to work in Blockbuster and scored a 0% on a mystery shop because I refused to rent it to the shopper saying “I’ve watched it so you don’t have to. It’s awful, all that will happen if you take it is that you’ll come back and complain. Let’s save ourselves the effort and you rent something decent instead”.

Have to agree with this. 

I saw it in the cinema as a kid. My parents actually took me to see Star Wars, but it was sold out so we saw this instead!

I eventually saw Star Wars in my 20's. Missed out on all the toys, etc. I never forgave my parents or Michael Caine.

The Abyss. Utterly abyssmal.

Die hard and the like, any film that portrays some seemingly indestructible twat running around punching people.

Star Wars Christmas Special - so bad that you can only find it on YT when some wag uploads it to troll Lucas.

Every time I find myself nitpicking a new Star Wars film (because 'canon') I remind myself of this and giggle. Enjoy:

I never knew about that. 

It looks so bad it might be the runaway winner. 

I saw a comment on YT which made me chuckle 

'How good was the cocaine back then?'
