StewartKnight Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 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?
ninjabeaver Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I've tried to watch Battlefield Earth..... twice. Most boring film I've ever had the off chance to encounter. I love sci-fi but blimey. My problem is that I would give any film a bash. Even the films from Asylum films (I am Omega, War of the Worlds 2, The Terminators). All very blatant ripoffs but most are worth a laugh at how cheap the productions are. I am Omega had the same zombie (I know it should be vampire type person) in all the scenes.
mattx Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) I rather enjoyed Battlefield Earth. The only annoying thing was the camera man was drunk on every shot...... Edited April 1, 2009 by plexer
apoth0r Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Mamma Mia, without a doubt I was forced to watch it with the lady! I had to tell her it was good, I HAD TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pooley Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I wish I could regain the 2 hours I wasted watching Cloverfield, what a pile of....
Guest coquet636 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I was forced to watch it with the lady! I had to tell her it was good, I HAD TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAD TO!!!! hope the ... errrr ... benefit was worth the lie. lol...b The worst film i have seen is Rocky 5.. . they was no need after the quite superb rocky 4
Bigape Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Gone with the wind - tried watching it many years ago when it was showing in Leicester Square. At the interval I walked out thinking 'what a stupid ending' not realising that there was an interval:getmecoat:
difinity Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Guest House Paradiso with rik mayall and that other guy from bottom. i expected it to be v. funny, but it was painful to watch..
joe90bass Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Artificial Intelligence: AI It dragged on and on, I nearly walked out of the cinema when the aliens visited earth....... 2
Domino Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 recently - Valkyrie I was excited when it started in german with english subtitles. which then crossfaded into english......and the plot was shocking
witch Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Anything with Adam Sandler in it. Hear, hear And Jim Carrey (with the exception of 'The Truman Show' in which he accidentally showed that he can act without pulling silly faces)
Crispin Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 The Da Vinci Code. You know when someone comes up to you and says "oh you havent seen that film?! oh you have to watch it, its definitely something you'd like", its probably not for you. If that happens 3 or more times I'll refuse to watch it until I've had sufficient time to forget about the recommendations and then watch it.
WStore_Dan Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Artificial Intelligence: AI It dragged on and on, I nearly walked out of the cinema when the aliens visited earth....... I feel your pain
pauljonze Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Anything with Nicolas Cage in it... except Raising Arizona but that's because of the a great cast such as Holly Hunter, oh and Wild at Heart, cos of the other great cast.. Wilem Defoe, Harry Dean Stanton and Laura Dern... actually the Rock is a good laugh too... oh forget it. I just don't like Nicolas Cage.
Mcshammer_dj Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 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!!
reggiep Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 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.
reggiep Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 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?
penfold_99 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 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.
somabc Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 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!
PeterW Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Critical Mass (2000) ^^^ Do not want, http://blog.internetnews.com/apatrizio/do-not-want-dog.jpg
Domino Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 recently - Valkyrie I was excited when it started in german with english subtitles. which then crossfaded into english......and the plot was shocking Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind too...
Domino Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 But isn't it based on a true story so the plot is just real events? BASED eg, there was a man called Hitler
elloyd69 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 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!!
mac_shinobi Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 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 !!
