Anything from Mikey Moore.  I tried watching 'Bowling for Columbine' and couldn't make it twenty minutes.

I wasn't a fan of that movie either.

My pick is Glenngarry, Glen Ross. I bought it without having a clue about it because it was only 5 bucks, and it has some greats in it. Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Alece Baldwin, Kevin Spacey (my fave), Alan Arkin, etc. TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A friend of mine (a former and non-successful actor) told me it is an "actor's" movie, and he loved it. It was AWFUL. I don't know how many other ways to say it.

I don't think I've ever tried to watch that movie.  As far as I can tell, it's mostly famous for this one scene.

Beer Fest.  Or whatever that movie with Artie Lange was called.

It looked funny, we rented it, and shut it off about 15 minutes into the movie.

Never watched it. But my hubby and another friend of mine have to quote parts of it any time they are together. They apparently loved it, but I knew I might not, so I think I must have decided to go to bed when the watched it.

None of those movies you all have listed are as bad as "Solaris" with George Clooney. It's a remake of an equally bad Russian film of the same name. That movie would make even the worst Al Quida terrorist give up after repeated viewings.

Gutbusting hilarious in its total stupidity. Highly recommend watching this one (without hurling, please) and then immediately put on "Ed Wood", which was a great film. That one resulted in Martin Landau getting the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

That movie was a walking cliche for low-budget movies from the 90's.  The hairstyles, the props (could they make the armor look more ridiculous), the dialogue.  Yeah, it was pretty terrible.

Dirty Dancing was awful, but without it, Patrick Swayze would have never had the opportunity to make the best movie of his career... Road House. :-)

Hey now, I never read the novel, but I like the first Starship Troopers.

Another one I can think of is "Twilight." Wanted to see it just for the heck of it, so I sat through it on HBO. Wish I hadn't. The dialogue was atrocious. I can only imagine the terrible writing in the books...

True, but if you think of it as a Warhammer 40K movie with Imperial Guard vs. Tyranids it's not too bad.

ANYTHING WITH JULIA ROBERTS

Seriously, what do you women see in her??   I can never get it; she has a horseface, she's bony, and CAN'T ACT.

BTW, did anyone see "Posse" about some black gunsman?   It had Mario Van Peebles Jr., Ton Loc, Big Daddy Kane, and some other rappers.

That was the stupidest movie; I wanted a refund.

I definitely recommend reading the novel. It is not as action packed as the movie but the points made about communism being anathema to human life are well made and the characterization is better. The powered armor (hydraulically powered exo-skeleton suits loaded with various bombs, guns, flamethrowers and even nuclear bazookas) is pretty cool too.

On edit: I forgot to mention that the short-lived Starship Troopers CGI series (called Roughnecks) remains fairly, if not completely, true to Robert Heinlein's work too.

I went to the theatre to see Zombiland with the son and other half back during the holidays.....I hated it...they laughed... both at the movie and me.... :hammer:

I would have walked out and gone shopping if it hadn't been a night movie and the nearby stores were closed... :(

Donnie Darko (one giant bunny movie is enough) and Harvey's more fun. Or Brokeback Mountain. Every time that movie's on all I can think of is Cartman saying, "Naw dude, Independent films are those black and white hippy movies. They're always about gay cowboys eating pudding." Funny, they all have Jake Gyllenhaal in them. At least Heath Ledger redeemed himself in The Dark Knight (best character in the whole movie...couldn't even tell it was him).

My son went to see it the other night at the midnight premiere.

Some girl took him.....he was sitting next to a guy - he didn't know - that some girl dragged him too. Son said the two of them laughed and critiqued the whole thing.  Apparently the girls they were with didn't appreciate their sense of humor.  :lmao:
