One for the Money - completely ruined Janet Evanovich’s book
Showgirls
Can’t Stop the Music
Howard the Duck
The War of the Roses - I totally didn’t get why everyone raves over this movie
One of my favorite podcasts is “How Did This Get Made”, where some comedians watch a bad movie and make fun it. My SO and I started watching movies before we listened and we have scene some real doozies.
- The Peanut Butter Solution
- The Boyfriend School
- Gooby
- Adventures of Pinocchio (with JTT)
Way back in the 80's when we rented VHS movies, my mom rented one called "The Watermelon Man". OMG! the worst movie ever, not to mention racist. Terrible, terrible movie.
Only movie I've ever walked out of (and got a refund). I remember the moment my friend and I decided this was ridiculous. It was when someone's head rolled onto someone else's foot.
Lots of other bad movies (count me in the "don't like Fantasia" movie), but that was the worst I ever tried to watch.
When I was a teenager my mom made our family watch Bumblebees Fly Anyway, I think it was Elijah Wood and Rachael Leigh Cook, and no one in my family was satisfied with the plot or ending.
Room with a View, The English Patient, The Piano, Chariots of Fire. All won awards. I will never understand why!
I was dragged to see Army of Darkness. Pretty much knew I'd hate it but was trying to be nice haha. There's 90 minutes I'll never get back! Even the person who wanted to see it thought it was pretty terrible!
I didn't think anyone else would say Grown-Ups 2, but I guess I got beaten to it . I hate 12 year old boy humor. I knew it would be dumb, but not that dumb.
Castaway is definitely up there too. Earlier this year my AP did a presentation in PD about how that movie "changed his life" . And then he made us make our "Wilson" type characters "to help with isolation" and explain them on Flipgrid.
Worst for me: anything with Woody Allen or Will Ferrell.
Yeah, I can't watch Will Ferrell, either.
I really loved both The Revenant and The Piano, though. My taste in movies is often heavily influenced by the score and the cinematography and I thought those two elements were fantastic in both movies.
I'm sure I've seen something worse, but the most recent movie that I hated was The Lighthouse. My son loved it, told me it was a masterpiece and that I didn't understand the themes.
I don’t really hate a lot of movies. Think they’re poorly written or directed or cast, yes. Think they’re not my flavor of film, sure. But hated? Not really.
Except Joe vs the Volcano.
I can’t stand that movie.
I think the level of loathing must have been because of being betrayed by Tom Hanks. How could beloved Tom Hanks be in such a bad movie?
I haven't seen many Tarzan movies, but saw one in the early 1980s. I think it was Tarzan the Ape Man with Bo Derek and Richard Harris. Terrible movie.
I'm also not a big Adam Sandler fan, and couldn't stand Billy Madison.
It's interesting to know I'm not the only one who doesn't care for Woody Allen movies. The one exception is The Front (1976). He had an acting role, but didn't write or direct it.
Regarding Fantasia, I was a child in the 80s when my parents took me to see it. They actually wanted to walk out, but I wanted to stay, so they stayed. But recalling that now that I've been an adult, I probably couldn't watch it now...never had watched it a 2nd time.
I’m not a fan of:
The Lake House
Goodnight and Good luck
Old Dogs
Cold Mountain
The Percy Jackson Movies (I love the books. The movies lost all the uniqueness of them.)
