Worst film ever?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Worst film ever?

Worst film ever vote

What do you think is the worst film of all time! Vote for your choice at the link above for BBCs Film 2003!

My vote is going to Gigli simply because it has the worst reviews I have read.

you cant say its the worst film ever if youve never SEEN it. It defies the point of the poll.

My vote goes to American Pie: The Wedding tied with Bulletproof Monk. Those films should never have been made.
I cried a little inside cause i love Chow Yun Fat in almost ALL of his movies but i'm sorry, he's gonna have to do alot to redeem himself from that

the second Highlander film the one they have since tried to bury with another sequel is the worst ive seen and ive seen some stinkers

I agree with arcon, you can't vote something the "worst film ever" if you've never seen it.

my vote went with "mission to mars", the tim robbins laiden pile of elephant dung. Its the only film I've ever seen at the cinema where i felt the need to go for a cigarette break half way through, then came back to discover nothing had happened. In the end I took a total of 5 cigarette breaks and spent the rest of the movie trying to wake my friends up. Dire dire dire. Its weird really because I usually see the best in every film, cinematography, sound, even costume - but I couldn't find a thing in that film that I liked. Not one. Don't watch it. Save yourself. Its 2 hours of your life you'll never get back.

I voted for "Punch Drunk Love". I got free passes to the opening in Montreal and I walked out half way though it.

I don't know specific bad Brit films, but I have two films that can be nominated for worst in all of history.

"2001: Do Hazaar Ek" (Not to be confused with 2001 A Space Oddesy):

An Indian film (from India) about a tough guy cop investigating grisly murders. Who is also intent on winning the love of a woman and does from time to time spontaneously burst into song. Then from out of nowhere, 300 dancers come running out and dance to 80's MTV style editing. And he solves these murders, gets his love, sings and dances while stealing movie cliche after movie cliche from American films. From the exploding toilet in Lethal Weapon 2 to the Rambo ending of the film with a machine gun and a red bandana. Hell, the name of the film is practically stolen.

For an old American film "Manos, the Hands of Fate" is a terrible, terrible film:

It's about a strange hypnotist surrounded by scantilly clad women who are to be sacrificed for some reason which is never explained. The hypnotist with mind powers lures a family on a road trip to their doom at his secluded desert cottage. It is impossible to describe the attrocities of story and editing in this black & white film. The dialog is soooooooooo terrible.

The movies the rest of you have cited are NOTHING in comparison to how bad these are.

There's also, Cyborg Cop, but that was actually good in how bad it was.

Really, any movie where people do stupid stuff. Like "Midnight Express" where this guy ends up in a turkish prison for many years and endures terrible hardship ALL because he ran from the cops. The entire movie is overshaddowed by the fact that he didn't have to go through ANY of it!

That was just an example. Movies where people just do, ya know, thing any reasoning person can see are stupid! And it screws up everything!

Yes, i'm still mad

"Midnight Express" sounds suspiciously like Taw's mad life to me

fortunately unlike the ill-fated protagonist of Midnight Express, I used the time-honoured method of bribery. Also, unlike said poor chap, I hadn't actually done anything, and keeping me would have been more trouble than it was really worth. Things might have been different if I'd been arrested by the civil authorities, but the military had bigger fish to fry than a tourist who pointed his camera in the wrong place at the wrong time, or so I was told. Mad? u don't know the half of it! that's just an entertaining memory compared to some of the insanity I've been involved in. I'm sure I was cursed!
