Thanks for bringing up what is probably the 'original' big budget flop. Most people don't even know the story of Heaven's Gate, which is why 90% of the movies referenced are from the last 10 years.

RTFQ, people. It's BIG BUDGET. Not just a movie you hate.

But Heaven's Gate is actually a pretty good movie. Box office flop does not mean bad film.

There are two numbers here to consider
1) (box office gross)/(cost of movie)
2) (enjoyment)/(anticipation level)
Throw in the constraint that it has to be ~80 million in current dollars to be a big budget movie.

For number 1 it is hard to beat Cutthroat Island (10 million gross/92 million to make). For number 2, it is a toss up between highlander 2, the matrix 2 and the phantom menace. Anyone that high expectations for ATOC was in denial.

There probably should also be a category for films that ended actors/directors/studios careers.

Waterworld makes me wanna hurl. Hmmmm has the postman been mentioned, i still think waterworld sucks more though.

Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions

They should've just stopped with the first movie since it was so damn entertaining and novel. The next two were the absolute biggest pieces of [censored] of all time, they made decent money the 1st two weeks in the theatres but then dissappeared b/c all the bad word of mouth.

The first matrix I saw 4-5 times in the theatres. That is the most I've seen any movie in my life.

did anyone see stealth with jessica biel and jamie foxx?...absolute garbage.

Lots of good replies, but this thread is not over until --

ROCKY 6!!!!

At the time it was made, Waterworld had the biggest budget of all time. I'm not sure that is true of any other film mentioned, the Matrix sequels perhaps?

I remember the supporting actors of "Batman and Robin" (Chris O'Donnell, Uma Thurman, Alicia Silverstone) were all HUGE at the time it came out and the three of them seemed to drop off the map soon after.

Rocky 5

How can that not be on the list. JEEBUS

Though not sure how big of a budget - Stallones salary alone probably makes it as such though.
