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 !!!!

BASED

 

 

eg, there was a man called Hitler

 

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!

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.

Heathen. Postal was a perfect adaptation of the game postal2 and very good for it. Faultless, brainless, immature and all the more hilarious for it.

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

 

Was worth watching once... not that bad a film.

 

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..

 

If you expect it to be like the live shows then yes, not good. But for a fun bit of slapstick then it was all right.

 

"Little Nicky" works on so few levels.

 

It sounds like a comedy, it looks like a comedy, it even feels like a comedy. But it isn't.

 

 

Bah, great film and one I would choose for my favourites list. All a matter of opinion eh?

 

 

I would choose -

 

Die Hard 4.0, tried to watch it twice and both times failed.

All of those films that try to be like scary movie (disaster movie, meet the spartans etc etc). It was funny when they did it, but not for the 1 millionth time after recycling the same old crap!

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

 

Thank god! I was beginning to think I was the only 1. I bought it on DVD and gave it away after the first watch I was so disgusted with it.

 

I would have had to say originally that Mama Mia was the film I wouldn't watch, but Sony sent me a blu-ray copy and the mrs insisted we watch it. Sure enough it was a awful as i'd thought. No lying from me though, I told ehr straight how bad it was :-) I was sat there wanting to grab Pierce Brosnan by the shoulders and shake some sense into him whilst shouting at him..."you used to be james bond, you were cool, what are you doing, what have you lowered yourself to!!"..... Rant over :-)

One of my all time favourite films.

Norbit

got dragged to see it by a lass pretty much sat there entire time in shock! it goes from bad acting to bad plot to bad acting it made me wanna go postal just to pass some time!

[akidosaint]

The Mist Ill try and watch a movie but this was horrendous book by steven king ok screen play was abysssmal.

 

My favourite movies at the moment are Night watch and Day Watch Russian movies writing by original Author who then include reference from the movies in later book

[Trojan]

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

 

How about U-571, quite possibly the most historically inaccurate film EVER !

[ChrisC]

Driven Horrific.....

[stephenleak]

"Plan 9 from Outer Space".

[JJonas]

+1 for Plan 9. Wooden set, wooden script and wooden acting

[ButterflyMoon]

Brokeback Mountain almost had me shove needles into to my eyes to alleviate the boredom!!! In fact as I recall I may have had a 10 minute shut eye while it was on such was the scintilation of the movie!!!

[jamesb]

Any adaptation of Phillip K Dick or Isaac Asimov's work since Bladerunner - particularly anything done by Stephen Spiel.

 

Any American film which claims in the credits to be 'Based on a true story' or 'Based on a story by' or any variation of those phrases.

Not seen it, but a friend has: Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004) (V)
