Films

[Mcshammer_dj]

Anything with Tom Cruise, Canoe Reeves, Kevin Costner (except Dances with Wolves)

Infact most films in which Americans try to do any of the following.

Be anything other that american, reinvent their role in the War, try to act!!

I wish I could regain the 2 hours I wasted watching Cloverfield, what a pile of....

Wow, one of my favourite films! I saw "102 minutes that changed America" on the history channel the other day which is a documnetary of just footage from 9/11 with no commentary and it felt just like watching cloverfield.

recently - Valkyrie

I was excited when it started in german with english subtitles.

which then crossfaded into english......and the plot was shocking

But isn't it based on a true story so the plot is just real events?

I rather enjoyed Battlefield Earth.
The only annoying thing was the camera man was drunk on every shot......

I heard rumours that there was going to be a second one, and no its not an April fool.

Maid in Manhattan & Pearl Harbour!

I feel ill just thinking about them...

Great Review on IMDB

There are very few films I've come across which actually make you want to beat yourself senseless with a heavy object. But this is surely one of them. Quite possibly one of the worst films ever made and I can't believe I managed to watch it through to the end! Twice. Once in the cinema and once on TV!

Critical Mass (2000)

eg, there was a man called Hitler

Ah yes, Nicolas Cage. He plays a good Nicolas Cage in all his films.

The remake of the wicker man.............should not have been allowed!!! Ruined it, absolutely ruined it!!

Yeah the wicker man was the one Nicolas cage did that was absolute trash !!

I was reading the Telegraph newspaper earlier and they had a "100 films to watch before you die", which I thought was a cliche....

How about "100 films you'd die before you'd watch"!

My number 1 would probably be (and I haven't seen it)

Battlefield Earth, where you have to be a Zetan level 8 to understand it, and a cretin level 100 to watch it.

Other than that, I'd include "The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover". A film where Helen Miren gets her kit off.. oh how unusual. It's not big and it's not clever.... now stop it! In fact any Pete Greenaway film would be on my list.


What others would you tear your eyes out to avoid?

No Offense to your question - Just love that image !!!!

And on the same basis, apart from the fact that they were shocking films anyway - Titanic, which twisted the known facts, and Enigma, which had the americans breaking the Enigma code!

[mrdavies7]

Lost in Translation got to be the worst film ever, even with Scarlett Johansson in it. Its the only film ive ever turned off halfway through, and ill watch some crap.

Artificial Intelligence: AI

It dragged on and on, I nearly walked out of the cinema when the aliens visited earth.......

I agree, pretty boring. But IIRC they were evolved robots.

Mission to Mars was pretty good... until the ending.

There are some truly awful "video nasties" that were unbanned. Here's two I can remember:
The Driller Killer (1979)
The Burning (1981)

Oh, and any movie by Uwe Boll is atrocious, for example:
Postal (2007)
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)
BloodRayne II: Deliverance (2007) (V)
Alone in the Dark (2005)
I can't understand how this guy is still making movies. One of his current projects is listed as "Darfur" - I think the UN needs to step in and put the kybosh on him.

I was forced to watch it with the lady! I had to tell her it was good, I HAD TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have all been there, I managed to avoid it for 3 months though. My best mate suffered a similar fate.
