(1) Scary Movie - personally, if you have to add the word "Movie" to any movie title, it's probably not that good--Epic Movie, Disaster Movie. Really, you couldn't have been more creative?
(2) Swept Away - in one word: HER
(3) Pink Panther II
(4) Superman IV
(5) Transformers II - starting to notice a pattern? Unless your production company has the letters PIXAR in the name, avoid sequels.
(6) Land Before Time #4 to #1035 - I'm pretty sure they've made over a thousand of these movies by now. My son grew up with this series and it was all right watching them over and over and over and over but really, I think they ran out of ideas after the third one...perhaps, first.
(7) It's Pat - It's horrible.
(8) Green Hornet - I was stung! I started watching it and had to stop. I think his super power is to kill brain cells with every minute you watch.
(9) The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - I think they meant Extra Ordinary but it was a typo. I love Connery but this event was sad to witness.
(10) Pride and Prejudice--the non-Firth version.
What!?
Now don't get me wrong, I love this guy:
And even this guy:
And, I know I'm going to get eaten alive by my last choice...
What's the worst movie you've ever seen?
Great choices!
ReplyDeleteI just tried to watch Green Hornet on Saturday! Like you, I just couldn't do it.
Believe it or not, I have not seen any of your movies except P&P, both versions, and I have to agree with you on the last. It WAS like watching it on fast forward.
ReplyDeleteNo way, I agree. They skipped pivotal moments in P&P and it just zaps the essence of a story right out. Yeah, I could tell from the trailer Green Hornet was gonna suck.
ReplyDeleteAnd omgosh if i have to sit thru another Land Before Time movie I will puke.
too bad the waves didn't swept away HER forever! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I might be the only one who actually liked THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTS. It wasn't the best of films, off course, but I liked its size and visual aspect.
I didn't like the Green Hornet either. I did like the first few Land Before Time--my son was preschool and grade school for these.
ReplyDeleteI'm so over Pride and Prejudice, period.
Actually, I like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE
I didn't care for that version of Pride and Prejudice either.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at the Land before Time. My son watched the first couple and I thought those were yawners. Glad he never made it past that one.
ReplyDeletenumber 9, number 9.... i loved it and felt it was underplayed. the rest is a great list of crap... though i like transfomers 2 and didn't care for the first one.

I liked Pink Panther II.
ReplyDeleteThe only one of these I've seen is Scary movie. In its defense, it's supposed to be bad--It's not my thing, but I get why my kids like it. And I'm VERY glad my kids missed that Land Before Time Window. We have family friends that got into it, so I saw a few, and I even found 1-3 painful.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...no one should have remade "Pride and Prejudice" after the excellent A&E production.
ReplyDeleteToo many sequels just don't cut it. Great list.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch many movies, so I can't speak to most of these, but yeah, when you put 'Movie' in the title, it says all I need to know. :D
ReplyDeleteLand Before Time #4 through #1035 - that's hilarious! Superman IV was awful. I've tried to forget it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pariticipating in the blogfest!
Hollywood needs to realize sequels suck! And I hear you about Land Before Time--my son loves those and I think each one of them has the same soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great list - the only one that I liked (or saw?) was Swept Away but I think you're talking about a different one - I'm talking the 1972 one written and directed by Lina Wertmüller and starring the amazing Giancarlo Giannini with Mariangela Melato and Riccardo Salvino.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just found out - you mean the Madonna movie - I won't see her in anything ever since I watched her mean-spirited docu-me me me, Yep. that is my worst movie - Truth or Dare - no truth, no dare. Try the original Swept Away, or anything by Wertmuller!
yeah, i liked the league, but i couldn't sit through green hornet- and seth rogen is such a cutie! i hated that i didn't like that movie!
ReplyDeleteI felt like that about the new Pride and Prejudice when I first saw it. But it has since grown on me. Now it's my favorite version.
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious!
And I gotta agree with you on 'Land Before Time'. My son watched all 2008 of them (there are twice as many as you suspect) and watched them until I suffered irreparable brain damage.
There are so many bad choices out there, I'm not sure how you all chose! But, you've got some good ones listed. Definitely bad.
ReplyDeleteNot at all Clarissa, I was disappointed with the Pride and Prejudice too.
ReplyDeleteI've seen almost all of those. Unfortunately. Except the last one. I try not to watch movies of the books I love. I am always disappointed.
ReplyDeleteYou picked some real Cinematic Stinkers. I have to admit I liked That's Pat. Not sure why. It was so bad, it was good.
ReplyDeleteHi Clarissa -- even with the number of movies I've watched, the only one on your list I saw was that unfortunate version of Pride and Prejudice. I'll make sure the rest are not on my Netflix list.
ReplyDeleteAnd how likely would you ever go see a movie based on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? Would that kind of flick be better or worse than Scary Movie?
ReplyDeletePiranha 3D was pretty bad. They felt the need to digitally animate the fish eating a guy's penis and it floats around on screen while the fish fight over it and one of them swallows it only to spit it back up. I was like...really? This is terrible.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats Colin Firth and his wet shirt. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteTake care
x
omg I totally forgot about the league of extraordinary gentlemen who decided to make an extraordinarily horrible movie!
ReplyDelete"#4 to #1035" I laughed out loud when I read this.
ReplyDeleteOoh, some reminders of which movies I thought were bad--especially The Land Before Time saga--bleh! :P
ReplyDelete♥.•*¨Elizabeth¨*•.♥
Can Alex save Winter from the darkness that hunts her?
YA Paranormal Romance, Darkspell coming fall of 2011!
I agree with you on The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteThe BBC Pride and Prejudice will always be the measure of the perfect adaptation!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! I'd say your list is pretty full of stinkers. I did like number 9 though. I didn't see Green Hornet, because I didn't want to spoil my old memories.
ReplyDeleteSwept Away...why hadn't I even heard of that one??? I've seen it on a few posts, today. And P&P, my love for that story is so profound...I practically know it by heart. *sighs, tears up*
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Great list. I haven't seen swept away, but I heard it was terrible. I saw about 10 minutes of the Green Hornet, enough for me to quickly turn the channel.
ReplyDeleteSwept Away, with Twilight a close second, but I fell on the sword for the sake of my daughter with that one.
ReplyDeleteGood choices! Some sequels shouldn't be made. The worst movie I've ever seen is Rubber. A killer tire. Yes, it's really about a killer tire.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a big fan of the BBC P&P that I've never felt the need to see the newer version... And if you can believe it, I've never seen the others you listed either!
ReplyDeleteI'd add Gigli, but I didn't see it. :D LOL!!
I actually walked out of the theater on Scary Movie. It didn't make my list because I had deleted it from my mind :).
ReplyDeleteThe way you feel about the Green Hornet is the way my husband feels about the Green Lantern.
Ah, Green Hornet was NOT good. I agree. I've never seen the P&P with Colin Firth and I love him. I should watch it.
ReplyDelete@Dezzy - I liked LEAGUE, too.
The Green Hornet? C'mon, it was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I've never watched any of the Land Before Time movies--there do seem to be an awful lot of them. :P
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a Pride and Prejudice movie; will have to remember to stay away from that one!
I had problems watching The Green Hornet too - it was that horrible.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any movies on your list with the exception of Scary Movie and P&P. I didn't care for either.
ReplyDeleteI've seen some of these but don't remember them. I will agree about League and the most recent P & P. What a waste.

Tossing It Out
Great list! I wish they had stopped making Land Before Time movies after the second one. :/
ReplyDeleteI loved the first Land Before Time, but I imagine "Yep, yep, yep!" gets annoying after a thousand times.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of most of those movies and looks like it's a good thing. Now I know why you took the time to enter this 'fest (no way I could think of 10 movies I didn't like) - you just wanted yet another excuse to put up a pic of Colin Firth after the swim scene. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDenise
Great choices! Goodness, you mentioning The Land Before Time brought back memories!!!
ReplyDeletelove your choices--especially the scary movie et al.
ReplyDeleteI was none too impressed with Green Hornet either blah
ReplyDeleteHah! Nice. I don't know about the worst movie I've ever seen, but I just saw Burlesque, and it was pretty bad!
ReplyDelete"Swept Away" was horridly, frighteningly awful!
ReplyDeleteFreddie Got Fingered was my worst! But I have to admit that Swept Away was just plain terrible! And Pink Panther II made my husbands list.
ReplyDeleteI had to think hard, but eventually came up with a couple of movies I didn't enjoy: Atonement and Wanted. Both star James McAvoy, who I usually like, but these movies were so disappointing.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Pride and Prejudice movie because it was so different, but nothing can come near the BBC series with Colin Firth. Perfection!
Oh my goodness, I've seen so many awful ones I can't even begin to tell you. Most recently, Crash. I hated that I watched it.
ReplyDeleteI thought Green Hornet was a set-up for a series, and whenever Seth Rogen isn't atatched to a bong, it seems like he's stretching as an actor. Perhaps my standards are really that low...
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I completely agree with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

It kinda sucked that the Superman movies got progressively bad ...
ReplyDeleteGreen Hornet and Pink panther II! I just could not stand those movies! :)
ReplyDelete:) interesting...
ReplyDeleteGreat picks; I couldn't finish Green Hornet either. I felt like you, my brain cells would die if I endured it any longer~ LAME
ReplyDeleteDid you actually sit through the entire length of Swept Away?
ReplyDeleteI've yet to watch the 1st Transformers so I'll steer clear of that series!
I forgot about The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, my list is getting longer...

Great list!!
ReplyDeletenice choise :P
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Pride & Prejudice is one I hate as well. Matthew MacFayden is not Mr. Darcy, he's more a Heathcliff. And Keira Knightly, well there is simply no logical reason for her to even have a career. She's a one trick pony. Plus, in this version it's like they tore out the most important parts of P&P and went with the peripherals.
ReplyDeleteI was so crushed that The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen SUCKED, because the premise had real promise. I scoff at Hollywood for remaking successful movies (SPIDERMAN, SUPERMAN, FOOTLOOSE, etc.) when instead they should be looking at movies that had potential and failed. :)
