Hey Folks
You may remember we all voted on the site for our favourite novels of all time (the BBC here was doing a public poll) and I personally read some of the great books you recommended and loved evry minute of them.
Well, they're doing another one.
This time it is the worst film ever!
Lets save each other money and time and nominate the films to avoid. The BBC critic has started off with:
Battlefield Earth
Pearl Harbour
Very Bad Things
Maybe Baby
and Gigli (the Affleck/JLo version)
What do you all think?

Worst ever?.........ever?
well at least two of the one in the original post shouldn't be there namely "Pearl Harbour" and "Very Bad Things" the latter being very entertaining @ least I thought so 
I nominate "Ishtar" and just about anything with Jello (J-Lo )in it. "four weddings and a funeral" was a snoozer, how about "bowling for columbine" guns are rampant in america deal with it, it levels the playing field. Otherwise only criminals would have guns......sorry rambling........ummm........yeah, the" look who's talking" ones were pretty bad "yentl "comes to mind.......
gotta give it some more thought......a Poser this one.

Anything with Brad Pitt in it. The endings do nothing but piss me off, except for "7 Years in Tibet".
Other than that, I seem to mentally block out any bad movies I've seen, it's nothing but a waste of memory matter ;D

Went to the theater with Sam a few months ago and decided to watch "Catch Me If You Can" with Tom Hanks (who we normally love) But that movie SUCKED!!!! We left before the movie was even over we were so bored.

Hee hee - bad theatre is great - as long as there are 2 robots and Mike sitting in front of the screen cracking witticisms.

Why waste money on bad flicks and noisy audiances. Flickering screen also brings on shadows and worse---rent only movies you want to see and watch them in a "homey" atmosphere.

Nothing beats: "Blair Witch Project." The witch thing was an incredible con job and about the biggest waste of film ever.
For me, "Battlefield Earth" is next. Egad. 
"Istar"-- Bleaugh.
The Avengers-- Movie.....Horrible
"Pearl Harbor"-- a real stinkbomb. "Tora Tora Tora" makes it look bad.
I like "The Burbs." Good no brainer. Pretend Hanks isn't in it. I like silly. 
I haven't see Gigli or whatever it is, nor "Very Bad Things," nor "Maybe Baby."
Guess I'll shut off my cable.

I second the nomination for the Blair Witch Project.
The BEST movie I've ever seen is The Ninth Configuration staring Stacy Keach--it came out about 20 years ago.

Oh yes Brad Pitt!
I saw a film on TV here recently with him as an angel coming to earth to take Antony Hopkins away. God knows what it was called, and God knows what Mr Hopkins was up to being in it (must have been short of cash) but it STANK! The actress in it was truly terrible as well, she just twitched and cried and Brad just wandered around looking beautiful (if you like that kind of thing, which I don't)

Oh and will anyone admit to watching Caligula?
(incredible cast of alumni actors who it is claimed "didn't realise they were making a porno"
A truly sick, sensationalist and utterly AWFUL film even if you like porno.

My all time worst movie is The Creeping Terror.
An old, old science fiction flick, where the budget was so tight, they could only afford extra's (no lines, so they came cheap) and did all the plot by voice over and off camera screams.
The big alien baddy was a rustling rug of leaves where you could almost see the guy underneath trying out a threatening posture lying on his stomach, just before jumping somebody.+++++
It is absolutely the pits, so if anybody has a tape of this thing, I'd gladly take it off their hands...

Agreed Charlie. You kept waiting for the scary stuff and it never happened ???
For whatever reason nobody would come out and say it sucked...kinda like the Emporer's clothes.
What a waste of 7.00 and an hour and a half.

Yes, "Meet Joe Black", that was the one, had erased the name from my memory!
Thank God I didn't pay to see it either or I would have asked for my money back it was so desperately awful.

P.S. Some really bad movies are fun, like The Living Dead and some of the really silly Zombie films.

But Ave....some are so bad that they are good. All that MST3K stuff. Giant Leeches, Future War, Escape 2000, etc. Wretched stuff but fun.
By the way, I've seen Creeping Terror. Great rubber monster that looks drunk. A classic  The Mystery Science Theater stuff is being shown again I think. It's probably SCI FI Channel ??? They did all these movies a few years ago.
