It was more like a football match in the battle sequences, people shouting at the screen, cheering, fantastic experience.

Ask people all over the world, not just Scotland, to name a piece of cinematic dialogue that moved them and our survey says...Top answer. I hate the way they rewrote history. It's a film, not a documentary. Ever heard of artistic licence? I'm sure Life of Brian contains a few historical inaccuracies, but you list that among your favourites. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: snoopy1239 on May 27, 2006, 10:53:29 PM I'm not a massive Braveheart fan, but how you can label it as one of your 3 worst films I'll never know.
As and for Donnie Darko... have u been boozing?? Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: jezza777 on May 27, 2006, 11:02:56 PM Donnie Darko is a gr8 film.
Street Fighter is a bad film ......very very bad Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: ifm on May 27, 2006, 11:03:59 PM Spice world?

1. GI Jane 2. Bedazzled ( the one with liz hurley) 3. Moulin Rouge (utter horse shit from start to finish) END OF TRANSMISSION.................................................................................. .... Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Rupert on May 28, 2006, 04:01:35 AM I don't watch a huge amount of films so here are a couple I didn't like
Aeon Flux City of Angels (actually fell asleep when I saw this in the cinema) Lord of the Rings would be my 3rd but I don't think it was that bad, just really really boring in parts Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Josh on May 28, 2006, 04:44:38 AM Donnie Darko is a fantastic filn, don't criticise it because it's beyond you.
Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: happybhoy on May 28, 2006, 07:26:58 AM Dreamcatcher - (although the 3 min section with the choppers were mildly entertaining)
Passenger 47 - ('Always bet on black' - horrible, horrible dialog) Every Uwe Boller movie ever made Donnie Darko? behave yourself Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: AdamM on May 28, 2006, 08:25:23 AM all three Lord Of The Rings films
over acted, over hyped, arty rubbish. The crowning moment was the tearful misty reunion at bedside in the last film. talk about ham. It takes more than special effects to make a film. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Newmanseye on May 28, 2006, 05:52:02 PM Street Fighter is a bad film ......very very bad The manga anime version was great, The live action version with Van damme, and raul julia was peesh Title: Re: Worst 3 Films?

Closer Me Myself and Irene Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: I, Zimbra on May 28, 2006, 07:53:31 PM Are we distinguishing here between films that are clearly extremely poorly conceived, poorly acted, poorly made?
Or are we just giving lists of films that we didn't like (for one reason or another) that actually do have artistic merit? There is a huge difference between films like: a) Braveheart (which one may or may not like, depending on one's point of view, but which was clearly well-conceived, well-filmed and well-acted) b) The Blair Witch Project (which one may or may not feel was an original idea, or possibly over-hyped) c) Heaven's Gate (which one may or may not feel is worth watching, due to the slow style of the film being out-of-touch with modern audiences - and incidentally one of the biggest box-office flops of all time) d) and film films like Hudson Hawk or Speed 2 (which were poorly conceived, poorly-executed commercial vehicles). I often have discussions with friends about things like this - exactly what makes a bad movie bad? The movies that we all agree on as being utterly unworthy, are generally what we refer to as 'commercial s***' - where the only aim was to make money and no thought was put into the film at all. Films in the d) bracket, basically. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: The Baron on May 28, 2006, 08:04:00 PM Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedommmmmmmm ...yeah yeah yeah ....total pants !!! Agreed. More cheese than Edam central. Cracking direction though. My worst 3 are: Matrix 3 Bloodsport The Bond flick with the invisible car. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: I, Zimbra on May 28, 2006, 08:07:31 PM A truly bad film has to be so bad that you can't even sit through it. The Matrix sequels were disappointing, but I found they passed an idle couple of hours each.
For true awfulness, I nominate: Fat Slags Tried to watch it one night when bored and just couldn't. Too awful. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: The Baron on May 28, 2006, 08:09:45 PM Notable mention to Bad Boys II.
Actually anything by Micheal Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer needs binning. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Newmanseye on May 28, 2006, 09:09:44 PM Notable mention to Bad Boys II. Actually anything by Micheal Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer needs binning. :redcard: I have to issue the red card there, Jerry Bruckheimer had been involved in some greatly entertaining movies, Gone in 60 seconds, con air, Bad boys, and I think The Rock, as well. When I go to the cinema, rent a DVD/Video, or buy one for that matter I want to be entertained, The Bruckheimer movies i have seen do that for me, entertain me for a few hours, get the adrenalin pumping and a few plot twists just to keep it plausable. Binning all Bruckheimer movies just seems a little OTT in my opinion. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: brad.strider on May 28, 2006, 09:28:49 PM my three are

Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: lazaroonie on May 28, 2006, 10:34:11 PM Worst film ? there is only one...
Hollow Man "starring" Kevin Bacon. A real porker indeed. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: I, Zimbra on May 29, 2006, 01:11:09 AM This is the problem with 'worst film' threads... some people will go "that was awful" when in fact it was a very well made film that just wasn't for them.
Donnie Darko is a great example of such a film. Many people didn't get it, and thus didn't like it. But it was a superbly made film, and the ones who did get it usually rank it among their favourites. "Fat Slags" on the other hand, is pretty unequivocably bad, I challenge anyone to defend it. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Lee on May 29, 2006, 03:21:41 AM Terms of endearment (WTF was I doing watching this, only heaven knows)
Murder FX That film with Bradd Pitt and Julia Roberts (bought the DVD for £14, watched it and had auctioned it for £1.78 on ebay within 3 days) Shallow Hal was up there too! Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Royal Flush on May 29, 2006, 07:53:36 AM Starship Troopers Closer 2 of my favourite films! A lot of people just dont get starship troopers, Paul Verhoeven is a genious and the film was bloody brilliant. It's in the same vein as scream, scream was a pisstake out of horror films but still was a horror films in itself, Troopers is the same way. GENIOUS! The robocop style 'adverts' in the middle just have me in stiches everytime i watch the film. Closer, well i dunno what to say. This film is class, i cant see how you think it is bad! Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Royal Flush on May 29, 2006, 07:54:59 AM Notable mention to Bad Boys II. Actually anything by Micheal Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer needs binning. Grrr another good film, one of the best car chases ever shot! Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Rod Paradise on May 29, 2006, 10:56:41 AM Worst film I was ever made to watch was that "Pay It Forward" keech - with her from Silence of the Lambs & the kid who did "I see dead people". Scmalltzy crap - I cheered when the wee toerag got chibbed at the end.
Other nominees: The Fantastic Four - how to make a pretty lame comic look better - by making such a bad film the comics seem better by comparison. A film so bad Jessica Alba's gorgeous bod couldn't save it. I so looked forward to the 3 Star Wars prequels - and now so wish they hadn't been made. Gratuitous references to future characters - Chewie fighting beside Yoda?? NNNNNOOO!!!!!!! Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: ACE2M on May 29, 2006, 01:25:51 PM Notable mention to Bad Boys II. Actually anything by Micheal Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer needs binning. I agree. Worst 3 films are - Love Actually (you let her choose one film and get subjected to that utter utter drivel) Troy (what a waste of 3 hours) Euro trip (watched this as it was just lying about the other day, truly awful) Title: Re: Worst 3 Films?

Post by: I, Zimbra on May 29, 2006, 04:40:22 PM Actually, now that I think about it, nominating sequels is just too easy; for the reasons I mentioned above, they are far more likely to fall into the option d) commercial s*** bracket than other films.

Sure these movies are no brain required, plonk yer ar*e down and veg out for a couple of hours type films, although some times you need that, thats what bruckheimer is good at. Now if you look at a movie like Last man standing, truely terrible. a remake of a japanese movie "Yojimbo" which in its own right is a fantastic piece of cinema with Toshiro Miafune in the lead role, however the Bruce Willis version of 1996 made you walk from the cinema in disgust as such a poor attempt to westernise, modernise and remake a classic movie. Can you put the Bruckheimer movies in this category, one when you would walk from the cinema? I know I can't as they have some raw entertainment value, not thought provoking, or industry changing in the ways that some other movies are but they still entertain. As for the cheesy lines, like " put the bunny in the box" , "paper or Plastic" or even the naming the cars from the rev's scene in Gone in 60 seconds, its an expected part of these types of movies now. Big Arnie is probably the biggest culprit for cheesy lines, although its the same line in every blooming movie, they still manage to write it in to his movies " I'll be Back". Mediocre movies have their place, they are not great, but they are not all that bad. ;goodvevil; Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Sark79 on May 29, 2006, 05:30:06 PM Hulk

Well yes, it wes a send up of a Fist full of Dollars, although A fist full of dollars was a remake of Yojimbo, which in itself was a send up of a Dashiell Hamnett novel Red Harvest. Another movie which was never a patch on the japanese original was " the Magnificent Seven " a " Seven Samurai" remake, and they added to the collection with " battle beyond the stars" . Did you ever see the French movie Nikita, there was a US version named The Assasin with Bridget Fonda, the French one was fantastic, then the yanks go and make a very poor "copy". Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: The Baron on May 29, 2006, 06:47:01 PM Yeah Assassins was poor.
Although Magnificent VII rocked. Maybe I'm just a big western softie! Yul Brenner rocks too. Especially in Cool Runnings! Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Newmanseye on May 29, 2006, 06:57:32 PM Yeah Assassins was poor. Although Magnificent VII rocked. Maybe I'm just a big western softie! Yul Brenner rocks too. Especially in Cool Runnings! I know a lot of people love "The Magnificent 7", I found it was a game of spot the difference, Dont get me wrong I love a good western, although i found the ones with an eastern original tended to pale in comparison. Yeah Cool runnings was a great laugh, I loved that movie. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films?

Title: Re: Worst 3 Films?

Anyone would look great saying those lines! I think Closer was a let down to those who expected a happy happy chick flick. I was dreading it coz of this but ended up quite enjoying it when I realised how dark it was. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: The Baron on May 29, 2006, 08:54:36 PM Also for anyone who liked Closer there is a similar American film called XX/XY which is much better.

Post by: Gryff on May 29, 2006, 09:00:12 PM Starship Troopers Closer Me Myself and Irene You know Starship Troopers was a spoof right? Really? I've never seen any such reference - certainly no indication here: www.imdb.com/title/tt0120201/ Check out the amazon review - Quote Editorial Reviews Amazon.com In the first and finest RoboCop movie, director Paul Verhoeven combined near-future science fiction with a keen sense of social satire--not to mention enough high-velocity violence to satisfy even the most voracious bloodlust. In Starship Troopers, Verhoeven and RoboCop cowriter Ed Neumeier take inspired cues from Robert Heinlein's classic sci-fi novel to create a special-effects extravaganza that functions on multiple levels of entertainment. The film might be called "Melrose Place in Space," with its youthful cast of handsome guys and gorgeous women who look like they've been recruited (and in some cases they were) from the cast of Beverly Hills 90210. Viewers might focus on the incredible, graphically intense action sequences (definitely not for children) in which heavily armed forces from Earth go to off-world battle against vast hordes of alien "bugs" bent on planetary conquest. The attacking bugs are marvels of state-of-the-art special-effects technology, and the space battles are nothing short of spectacular. But Starship Troopers is more than a showcase for high-tech hardware and gigantic, flesh-ripping insects. Recalling his childhood in Holland during the Nazi occupation, Verhoeven turns this epic adventure into a scathingly funny satire of fascist propaganda, emphasizing Heinlein's underlying warning against the hazards of military conformity and the sickening realities of war. It's an action-packed joy ride if that's all you're looking for, but Verhoeven has a provocative agenda that makes Starship Troopers as smart as it is exciting. The DVD includes an above-average commentary by the director and Neumeier, several deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes documentary and promotional featurette, cast bios, production notes, and more. --Jeff Shannon Also wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers_(film) ;) Title: Re: Worst 3 Films?

Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: I, Zimbra on May 29, 2006, 09:11:34 PM Starship Troopers easily the loudest film I'd ever heard in the cinema... since then only equalled by Once Upon A Time in Mexico.
Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Royal Flush on May 30, 2006, 04:31:16 PM Starship Troopers Closer 2 of my favourite films! A lot of people just dont get starship troopers, Paul Verhoeven is a genious and the film was bloody brilliant. It's in the same vein as scream, scream was a pisstake out of horror films but still was a horror films in itself, Troopers is the same way. GENIOUS! The robocop style 'adverts' in the middle just have me in stiches everytime i watch the film. Closer, well i dunno what to say. This film is class, i cant see how you think it is bad! Like i said here.... Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: NoflopsHomer on May 30, 2006, 04:43:00 PM Starship Troopers Closer 2 of my favourite films!

Like i said here.... I love Starship Troopers, it's like "What would happen if all the annoying people from crap US soaps got stuck in war?" The actual book is totally lunatic ramblings though written without a hint of irony. Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: ifm on May 30, 2006, 04:46:55 PM The actual book is totally lunatic ramblings though written without a hint of irony. There was a lot of debate about the films relation to the book at the time, i think Verhoeven said he read the first few pages and gave up out of depression and boredom :) So he rewrote most of it.

Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: bolt pp on July 11, 2009, 12:09:05 AM I quite liked Evan Almighty but it wasnt funny, and there was no story, and the gags were bad/non existent, and it dragged on, and the acting was terrible, and ive got no clue what they were thinking, and it didnt make any sense, and it was terrible, and it was the worst film ever and......................well more stuff like that ::) Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: Graham C on July 11, 2009, 12:11:14 AM There was a story. He had to build an ark and save the people from the flood. Sure it was no masterpiece but it made me chuckle.

Didn't you laugh when he grew the beard and couldn't shave it off! Surely that had you giggling. What about when the animals invaded the office. How about....shit film, point taken Title: Re: Worst 3 Films? Post by: sledge13 on July 11, 2009, 01:57:08 PM 1. Jaws 3 (not one decent shark scene!)

Post by: relaedgc on July 11, 2009, 04:27:44 PM I'll be honest, I looked at the first page and I can't bring myself to read the rest. People listing films like Braveheart, the Matrix trilogy and the LotR trilogy in "The Worst Three Films Ever" category is just ridiculous. Maybe if you've only ever seen ten movies.
