Dom:

Actually, I really enjoyed Heaven's Gate...no-one can like Barry Lyndon and not like HG-- they're slow as hell but well-shot and nuanced.

And I'd rather put Plan 9, Ishtar, and Showgirls in the Sobadit'sgood category.

C'est la vie,

The Core:

For reasons unknown, the earth's inner core has stopped rotating, causing the planet's electromagnetic field to rapidly deteriorate. Instantly, life around the globe begins to change dramatically. In Boston, 32 people with pacemakers, all within a 10-block radius, suddenly drop dead. In San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge collapses, sending hundreds of people plunging to their deaths. In London's Trafalgar Square, flocks of pigeons lose their ability to navigate, flying into panicked crowds, slamming into windshields and causing drivers to lose control of their cars. And in Rome, as thousands of tourists watch helplessly, an electrical superstorm reduces the ancient Roman Colosseum to rubble. Scrambling to resolve the crisis, government and military officials call upon geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes and a team of the world's most gifted scientists to travel into the earth's core in a subterranean craft piloted by "terranauts" Major Rebecca "Beck" Childs and Commander Robert Iverson. Their mission: Detonate a nuclear device that will reactivate the core and save the world from sure destruction.

the clooney version is sh*tty. i hate when hollywood tries to make a love story out of everything. for the love of the game was also ruined with that syndrome.

Re: Worst Movie, like ever?
 

What makes a bad movie really bad is when it is so bad you can't even sit there and laugh at it. Battlefield Earth was so awful it was hillarious.

Terrible, terrible movies are ones that you can't even laugh AT - For me, the new George A. Romero movie was that bad. I really liked Night of the Living Dead, but "Land of the Dead" made we want to get rug burn on my penis.

That sounds...yeah, really bad. Why is it always a nuke-u-lar explosion that's needed to save the earth?

I saw Day After Tomorrow last night (Tagline: This year, a sweater won't do. ) and I fully expected them to come up with some kind of plan to bomb the massive snow-tornados into submission...(*spolier: they don't do that.)

Bad movies like this are actually fun to watch with some friends...

I saw Troy last week with my sister and her boyfriend and had a great time making fun of the redonkulous accents. Why was Odysseus SCOTTISH for pete's sake?

georgia,

i haven't seen heaven's gate but it's one of my dad's favorite movies

as i understand it was the world's biggest flop at the time, a la waterworld

Re: Worst Movie, like ever?
 

Heaven't Gate was an excellent movie. The critics had it in for Chimino (sp?) They trashed it so bad it was pulled by the studio after opening night. They then re-edited it and chopped out about an hour.

I finally got to see the butchered release and it was great. My only complaint was that it should have been longer. Several years later they finally released the original version and it was in fact better with the extra hour.

Rating this movie bad is another example of the public jumping on the critics' bandwagon. Most critics don't have a f'n clue.

Re: Worst Movie, like ever?
 

yeah, i bought him the extended version (double vhs at the time) because he had talked about the movie before. he liked it better. i do want to watch it sometime.

I think more people rate it poorly because it flopped, not because of critical review and not because they have actually seen it.

I'm with you, Yeti. Fabulous film - John Woo's best English one so far, I think.

No one has mentioned White Chicks or Boat Trip yet?

Re: Worst Movie, like ever?
 

I watched a movie about a year ago called darkness.

it was pretty much the worst movie ever.

Re: Worst Movie, like ever?
 

how about every Crichton adaptation since Jurassic Park?

Sphere. . . brutal. Congo. . . horrible. Timeline. . . awful. I'm probably missing one or more.

Duh, you're right. I did a quick lookup and saw Jurassic Park 3 from 2001, compared to 13th Warrior from 1999. My bad, bitter. OK, let me jump on your bandwagon and agree with your assessment, 13th Warrior kicks ass!

Hard Boiled, for one, which didn't suck. His Chinese movies are much better than his American fare. It doesn't help that he seems to want to work with the worst American actors, like Cruise, Cage and Travolta.

Both of those Fast and Furious movies, Elf, and Ocean's 12 are high on my list.

This raises an interesting point. I wouldn't consider Plan 9 the worst movie made cos it's very entertaining. I think I've watched this about 15-20 times, I like it so much. Worst means you regret pretty much every single minute you spend watching it.

highlander 2 for example I saw once, when it first came out, and I still hate it passionately today, long after I can remember much of the details (though I still remember enough, damn it!)

Re: Worst Movie, like ever?
 

I liked Without a Paddle. I don't know what it is doing up there.

Re: Worst Movie, like ever?
 

"Worst means you regret pretty much every single minute you spend watching it."

YES!!! Thisis the description of the worst movie. you can't say i laughed once or twice but the rest of the movie was absolutly awefull- its the worst movie ever. Because of this any movie with titties (unless they are horribly misshapen tities) in it is disqualified. 8 seconds of enjoyment is more than you get from the worst movie ever.
For my money the 10 mins of Moulon Rouge that i watched were the worst ever.
