Goddamn you! You made me remember!!!!

(comment posted for humorous effect only. I never saw the movie, nor do I intend to. I haven't seen Heaven's Gate either, which prior to Ishtar held the title for worst possible movie.)

I have been greedily hoarding my $6.00 DVD copy of "Plan 9 From Outer Space", waiting for just the right circumstances to watch it. Unfortunately, I no longer get stinking drunk nor do I use drugs, so who knows when that will be.

Probably after the next election (if we have one) and if gwb again manages to rig it so he, ahem, wins.

That is to say, it is an occasion to get stinking drunk and use drugs, or move to outer space...

Sorry, we were having fun and I had to scorch the collective groove by getting political.

Event Horizon was AWESOME!

C'mon!!

The worst movie ever was clearly Blue Streak.

The one movie which had the greatest overall negative effect on my life was Star Wars Episode One. It was like watching George Lucas piss all over something which had brought joy to so many. I haven't watched the original Star Wars trilogy at all since then.

Also awful was Event Horizon, mostly because it could have been good, it had some potential... but it wasn't. At all. Another one is Hercules in New York, one of Arnold Schwartzaneggar's early performances, and dubbed over by an unaccented fellow, to pitiful-yet-humorous effect. And Star Trek 5.... yikes.

There are many movies which are clearly about as enjoyable as a cheese grater to the face, which I have not seen: Gigli, Kazaam, Glitter, From Justin to Kelly... ugh. I thank the stars that I have been spared from wasting valuable brain real estate on those abominations.

Here are the 100 lowest rated movies on IMDB.com.

I wrote an article about the Star Trek film series on the occasion of the release of the first NG movie. I subtitled ST 5 "Never Let William Shatner Write or Direct."

BrianR and I went to see this in a theater when it was released.

Visually striking, short on plot, and I don't think I've watched it since.

It takes a lot for me not to want to see a movie again.

Hell, I've seen "You've Got Mail" at least a half-dozen times all the way through, plus various chunks more often, through the lovely magic of power rotation on cable movie stations.

I remember it having good atmosphere, great visuals, and some decent acting... up to a certain, discernible point. Then it ran full speed, face-first into a brick wall. The mess of the second half of the movie betrayed the quality of the first, and a movie which was on the path to being a decent sci-fi ended up in cheesy-horror land. What a waste.

Plan 9 From Outer Space was amazingly, mind-blowingly bad. It went straight through campy. It's so bad it's not even funny anymore. I have to buy a copy.

If you're into blaxploitation and/or Quentin Tarentino(sp?) films, Dolemite is a must-see. It's hilariously bad, but I think parts of it were supposed to be, and you can really see where it would've influenced Tarentino a lot (some of the lines are just sickeningly cool).

Also on the list, though not as well known, is El Chupacabra. Named after the spanish demon/lizard/bat/thing that apparently sucks the blood of goats (its name translates to "goat-sucker"), this movie is what happens when you give a rapper (whose name I forget and can't be bothered to look up) a movie camera and a $7 budget. Awesomely bad.

Would this be a good time to bring "Robot Jox" into the fray?

DanaC · 10-12-2004, 06:46 PM

Also, has any one else seen the other Dead Man Walking? Not the classy flick with Suzanne Sarandon and whats his face, but the other one...the really really sucky one with Wings Hauser and Jeffrey Combs. I mean.....i am a huge Jeffrey Combs fan but not even his presence could rescue that film from the deepest depths of suckiness

The Sixth Sense. My father bought the tickets while me and my brother found the parking spot, right? Afterwards, my brother proceeded directly to the ATM and paid him back on the premise that no one should have to pay for someone else to see something that bad.

hot_pastrami · 10-13-2004, 12:20 AM

Nobody has mentioned "Freddie Got Fingered." Has no one seen it? I certainly haven't, but anecdotal data indicates one foul, unfunny stretch of film.

BrianR · 10-13-2004, 03:21 PM

I notice that no one has mentioned Attack of the Killer Tomatoes either. Parts I or II.
