What are the five movies you wish you could forget or retrieve the time spent watching them to use for getting a root canal?


Club Paradise
Dumb and Dumber
Battlefield Earth
Ishtar
Sharknado

Thankfully, I've already forgotten them.

Oh so painful....why oh why did I watch them? Even made my popcorn taste lousy
I Love Huckabees (2004)
Masked & Anonymous (2003)
Prometheus (2012)
License to Kill (?)
To Die For (1995)
oh and there's more where they came from

This is a tough one, as I try to forget the bad ones.

1) Anaconda
2) Charlie & the chocolate factory (Depp)
3) Bewitched
4) Red Dawn (2012)
5) Hairspray (Travolta)

Can't remember as they are forgotten. But recently watching daytime movies on one of my favorite channels (SyFy) I would say Camel Spiders and The Almighty Thor amongst others. Absolute terrible movies in every way.

Caddyshack 2

Star Wars 1 (the 1st in the NEW trilogy)

Land of the Lost

Total Recall (the new one, the old one was awesome!)

Death Race (the new one, Death Race 2000 was awesome!)

Tree of Life

Congo

Starship Troopers

Howard the Duck

2012

And Starship Troopers had the potential to e a really good movie, but they decided to not go with the suits. The troopers were all about the suits.

Nadine with Jeff Bridges an Kim Basinger. OMG I violently hate this film. Can't stand a single thing Basinger has done since watching this.

Life with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. Pretty much any comedy with the premise of an innocent man spending 20 plus years in prison. But this one really repulsed me.

Pretty Woman. Ridiculous shit. Let's laugh about her flossing her teeth after eating strawberries and forget all about STDs. Cause you know, it ain't romantic.

Boogie Nights. Just starring Marky Mark would be enough for me to hate on it, but the whole movie was just stupid.

Anything Tyler Perry puts out. And it never fails, my girlfriends gotta drag me to go see this nonsense.

I'm pretty good at avoiding movies that I wouldn't like, which includes most blockbusters, but the ones that I paid to see that I really hated included:

Hurly Burly
Winnebago Man
There Will Be Blood

Brendan

Battlefield Earth
Has anyone mentioned Atlas Shrugged?

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie

1 Freddy Got Fingered

2 The Sound of Music

3 Iron Sky

4 Dirty Dancing

5 Pretty Woman

But Dirty Dancing featured Jennifer Grey when she was still cute ( i.e. before her nose job). I watched Iron Sky out of curiosity build from seeing ads for it on the Paris Metro. Total waste of time. The Sound of Music is HIGH on my list of shows I hope to never see again in my theatre.the movie is right out.

Some of these were not so much horrible as much as disappointing, like the new Star Wars. The first series is number two on my all time favorites. I am listing only ones that I had the misfortune of sitting through.

Star Wars episodes I, II and III
Raging Bull (Raging Bunk)
Dr Otto and the Mystery of the Moonbeam (Jim Varney. This actually was horrible)

Fascinating lists so far. I've already seen some of my all time favorites (that I've watched many times) on some people's lists.

All awful, but I take exception to "Sharkado" being included.

It's freakin' flying sharks. In a tornado. Sharks, man. Flying sharks. Apparently flying sharks who breathe air just fine. While flying. In the air. In a tornado. And despite be hurled thousands of feet into the air, all they want to do is eat people. Flying people. In a tornado. Did I mention the flying sharks?

This movie also included the most pathetic casting -- John Heard and his frightening eye job hacking his way to a paycheck. Fighting flying sharks with a barstool.

Ian Zeering (40ish) plays father to an actor who looks about 35. And, the "son" is literally the worst actor on the planet, staring blankly at the camera while reading lines he doesn't understand.

The best part about lousy actor son is he actually makes Tara Reid look semi-competent. Until he appears onscreen, I was convinced Tara Reid was the worst actor on the planet, but, no000!!!

Did I mention the sharks? Flying sharks? Who eat people.

Also too, the laws of physics, gravity and hydrodynamics don't apply. I'm sure NOAA was pleasantly surprised to find dropping a small gas cylinder into a tornado destroys it. Oklahoma thanks you.

I look forward to the sequel.

And I'm not alone.

P.

Just the name would warn you it's a comedy, with casting to match. A lot like "Killer Tomatoes."

I can only offer up my bottom three:

Flirting with Disaster
The Age of Innocence
Eyes Wide Shut

Yech. Just terrible.

You're right since There Will Be Blood is on one of my 3 top 5 lists on the other thread. That's right I made 3 lists so far.

Ghandi is a classic like Lawrence of Arabia and Ben Kingsley won an oscar for it!

300 is totally awesome

No accounting for taste I guess

BloodRayne
The Room

Forgot how awful Boxing Helena was, hard to believe the Director went on to make the Hurt Locker!

LOL. I haven't even looked at that thread. I'll have to check it out.

Alien vs Predator...

Takes up all 5 positions. At least what I could see off it. Someone forgot to turn the lights on when they filmed it. Probably for the best, though.

Most recently, "Rock of Ages". So silly and contrived. I only lasted 20 minutes before I deleted it from my DVR. I felt guilty because I'm a long time fan of rock 'n roll...

I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. With the exception of the Twisted Sister music video clip the entire movie was pure drivel. I guess that is why I like it so much (guilty pleasure!)

I've seen so many bad films that it would be impossible to identify the bottom 5. Also, once you reach a certain level of 'badness', there is an enjoyable campiness to the whole experience. Think "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes' or 'Earth Girls are Easy'.

But I have to say that I've only actually walked out on one... and it wasn't because it was bad.

Back when I was in the navy, the Captain of my ship asked me to do him a personal favor and spend an evening 'babysitting' his wife's 14 year old niece who was visiting from the mainland (my ship was home ported in Hawaii). He asked me because he knew I was an observant / religious person and wouldn't try to snake his wife's pretty, underage relative.

I was a good boy. I took her out for dinner and non-alcoholic drinks in Waikiki, and then we went for a movie (I figured that was an easy time killer).

However, when I started looking at the movie listings, it seemed like everything was rated 'R', and I wasn't sure how happy the skipper and his wife would be with me taking an underage girl to a movie with 'adult themes and violence'.

Then I noticed that one of the theaters was showing an animated feature, so I figured you can't go wrong with that, right?!

Ten minutes into 'Fritz the Cat' I wanted to fall through the floor.

For those not familiar with the film, it is rated 'X' (something I hadn't noticed when I saw the listing or when I bought the tickets) and although originally released in the 70s, it was apparently being redistributed in the early 80s when this happened. I think I may have been thinking of 'Felix the Cat'... whatever.

I finally mumbled an embarrassed apology and towed her out of the dark theater.

When we got out to the street I could feel my cheeks burning and began trying to explain that I had no idea that's what kind of movie it was. She was very cool and assured me she wouldn't tell if I wouldn't. And since I never ended up in the brig, I'll assume she kept her word.

I don't even remember how the evening ended... but that is the story of the only film I've ever walked out on.

About anything with Tom Cruise in it except Legend.

Debbie does Dallas
Debbie does Dallas 2

Oh wait, what kind of movies are we talking about here? 😉

Yeah, hard to believe, because she didn't.

"The Conversation" was awful.
Zabrisky Point was better than Vanishing Point, and I'll add most any original TV show that was made into a movie, like "the Nude Bomb," or "The Fugitive" just don't hold up to scrutiny.

I haven't seen Borat yet.

Couldn't help myself! Was curious to see if anyone would pick up on it! Well done sir. It was still a crap movie
