Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

Ok, since the other threads Poll sucked I am remaking it Swede123 style using most of the suggestions from the other thread. I could go for 32 movies but I am lazy so some candidate ones didn't make the list. The 16 here and the seeding was pretty arbitrary.

I'll give 2 days for the poll to run.

You forgot Johnny Mnemonic.

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

VN! Good luck with the haters...I think you got the major players in.

BFE FTW!

Upset City
 

I'll take The Core at +215 and 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag at +115.
Maybe Pearl Harbour just because a lot of people have seen it, and therefore hated it. I'd take Pearl Harbour at +300

Kinda stupid to do a bet like this when the current results are immediately viewable.

The bets weren't meant to be serious, but, if someone was interested, they would have to take it...within the next couple of minutes.

Re: Upset City
 

MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE SHOULD BE #1 AND SHOULD RECEIVE A BYE TO THE FINAL.

Guys, if you have never heard of it, here's a quick rundown:

Two friends are chatting. They are discussing how hard it can be to direct and film a movie. They make a bet. Friend 1 bets Friend 2 that he can't make a movie.

Friend 2 makes a movie about absolutely nothing, wins the bet, and Manos: The Hands of Fate is born.

This isn't even a fair tournament.

In sports terms, this would be like if you lined up the 1996 Chicago Bulls team and asked them to play in a basketball tournament against AAU High School kids.

THIS MOVIE IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

Highlander 2 is the very worse movie of all time - not only is it truly awful, it ruins the memory of it's predecessor, which is a truly great movie.

Re: Upset City
 

To follow up my post:

Link.

Here's just an excerpt:

Sometime in the mid 1960's, Hal Warren met Stirling Silliphant, who was visiting El Paso to scout out film locations (Silliphant would later go on to write screenplays for real films like In the Heat of the Night and The Towering Inferno, and not-so-real films like The Swarm). After several conversations with Silliphant, Hal Warren somehow got it into his head that he could make a movie just as well as anybody in Hollywood. After pounding out a script (tentatively called The Lodge of Sins), he rounded up a few college kids to be his crew, then got some actors from the local community theater and a few models from a nearby agency to be his cast. (Say what you want about ol' Hal, but he must have been a hell of a salesman to convince so many others that he could really do this.)Finally, he secured a camera and got down to business. The camera that Hal used, unfortunately, was a 16mm Bell & Howell model that had to be wound by hand, meaning it could only record film for roughly thirty seconds at a time. (This is the reason for most, though not all, of the choppy editing work you'll see in the film.) In addition, it couldn't record sound; Therefore, all dialogue and sound effects were dubbed in later. (It's said that nearly all of the voices you hear in this movie were provided by the same three or four people.)

THE DIRECTOR WAS A FREAKING FERTILIZER SALESMAN!!!

How can this NOT be the worst movie of all time????

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

ive only seen 1 movie on that whole list.

I rock at not watching [censored] movies! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Highlander 2: The Quickening would have been better had it been made by a [censored] salesman.

Like I said, there are a ton of movies I could have put on here, Johnny Mnemonic easily qualifies but I was too lazy to do 32 movies.

Exactly...I've never seen Manos, but similar insanely bad B-movies (ed wood, Blood Freaks, Desperate Living, Troma-type stuff) are fun times. In fact, after that review, I'm putting that junx on my Queue!

Amateurism is forgivable, sometimes even charming. Highlander 2 isn't at all funny.

Re: Upset City
 

I have a hard time voting for Manos because the only time I've seen it was on Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's hilarious--one of my favorite episodes.

DON'T EVER BEAT ME TO POSTING MY EXACT THOUGHTS AGAIN YOU UNGRATEFUL SON OF A BITCH.

Highlander: "Why are we immortal, Highlander? Well, why does the sun rise? Why does spring follow winter? Why does Alizee give you that funny feeling down there? It's all some kind of mysterious natural super-cycle."

Highlander II: "HOLY [censored] WE'RE ALIENZZZZZ OMG"

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

All these films are quite deserving. That being said, having to pick one my personal pick for this would probably be Battlefield Earth. I pick this one for a few reasons, beyond the fact it all around sucks:

1) I LOVE Sci-Fi. Usually I enjoy just about anything involving space, robots, lasers etc. INCLUDING the remake of Lost in Space. Yet, Battlefield Earth really hit me as utter crap, inspite of its setting.

2) Any movie that's based on a fairly popular and enjoyable series of books and still manages to suck ass gets bonus points in the crappy department; the makers of the movie didn't even have to create an original story line, and they still manage to screw up adapting the screenplay so badly.

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

WTF The Core is fantastic. I watch it nearly every time I find it on TV. It's absolutely horrible but in such a way as to make it a great movie.

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

i guess i'm lucky, only seen 4 of these

Ed Wood is definitley not a B movie whatsoever. Any movie that win's two oscars, stars Johnny Depp and is directed by Tim Burton is not a B movie.

It is a pseudo-B movie, though.

Re: Upset City
 

i have seen worse movies, but none have disappointed me more than highlander 2

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

The unfortunate thing about this poll is that so many people will be voting even though they have not seen one of the movies or in some cases either movie.

Nice work putting it together though.

I think we should have a Worst Big Budget Film of All-Time Poll so it will be based on movies most people have seen.

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

Battlefield Earth is going to win this one in a walk. Manos is technically the worst movie on the list, but the MST3K factor is going to work in its favor and it'll probably get sufficient sympathy non-votes somewhere down the line.

And I can't believe War of the Worlds is even on this list. What are you, retarded?

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

Now THIS is a good idea. Make it so.

How is it not pseduo-B? The whole movie is made to be a B movie, like Ed Wood's work.

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

I saw Gigli and know how bad it was but it was no Mission To Mars. I was dragged to Mission by 2 "friends" and since then we have rated how bad a movie is compared to that. It was godawfull.

Also I saw Ishtar when it was released and I actually liked it. It's badness is overated.

I have seen over half these entries. Mostly I was dragged by "friends" as in Mission. I have to get new friends.

That it's in black and white only makes it like Ed Wood's work in that it's in black and white.

The truly sad part is how badly Travolta managed to screw up the work of his overlord, L. Ron Hubbard. He should fry before the seat of Xenu, or something.

War of the Worlds (which I have not seen) is on this list because this whole poll originally came from a thread calling it the worst movie ever. I probably wouldn't have included it otherwise.

Dammit, I missed Waterworld from this poll, argh.

8 heads in a Duffel Bag should be running away against Meet the feebles.

I'm a little dissapointed in OOT for not voting more for the Core.

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

Wow, none of my personal least favorites made it. Such as:

Pink Flamingos
Rapid Fire
Cool World
The Medallion
Battle for the Planet of the Apes
Freddie Got Fingered
Wild Wild West

Re: Worst Movie of all Time, round of 16
 

I liked Mission to Mars.
