What's your favourite 'Worst Film'

[billdcat75]

Duel -- Steven Spielberg and Dennis Weaver -- A nut in a car and a wacco in a crazy truck it was so bad we watched it twice, just to make sure there wasn't something there we missed. But any time I see a semi truck with "teeth" I ghet totally freeked out

Conan the Barbarian, with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Please don't tell everyone.

"Meet Joe Black" ...because I could look at Claire Forlani all day.

I wholeheartedly agree. I think that anyone who has any kind of idea what RAH was talking about really, really hated that film. :mad:

Being There - Peter Sellers last movie (if I remember correctly) When I first saw it, lots of people left the theater, they were expecting a more Clouseau-type character. I never pass up a chance to see it, but haven't seen the original ending credits since...it was an out take that Peter never got right and the scene never made it into the movie.

You haven't died until you've seen "Fingers of Fury" It's so bad it's hilarious, but I'm not sure if it's a bad movie trying to be a good movie (my sons think so, in fact, they don't think it's that bad, for what it is) or a completely tongue-in-cheek leg-pulling exercise.

I absolutely hated Cloverfield for its excessive shaky-cam but enjoyed the story. I think shaky-cam has just gone wwaaaayyy overboard. Every scene nowadays is like you're watching an earthquake. X| Give me ambiguity or give me something else!

[Spoon Of Doom]

There was that movie (or several movies, to be exact) about a genetically enhanced agent. I think it was called "Chameleon" or something like that. Awesome :laugh:

You must be smoking something. Tell me what page in the book has the co-ed shower scenes. I'll wait.... Scratch that I won't wait. Cause there are none! The book was chock full armored suits, people going to sleep against their will, and failure. The book was far to matter of fact and had none of the visceral combat feel the movie did. "I shot a missile down a bug whole, blah blah blah, the missile...(to paragraphs for boring information about the missile) blah blah" The movie took that story, tossed out the crap, and added entertainment. I will not however defend any of it's sequels. Anyone involved with those should be set on fire.

Anything with Steven Seagal and a two- or three word title (e.g. "Hard to Kill", "Straight to Video")

Hey! Where's Perry?

Personally, I liked the book because it fit the whole background. Still, the book directly would not have made a good movie (though their body armor would have been cool to see in the movie).

I have a former manager who thought that Big Trouble was the best movie of all time. Seriously!

You've got my vote. Rico is a great character that vanishes in the movie.

ROTFL, co-ed shower scenes don't make a story good or bad (although they may help :) ). Lets face it a lot of the books charm is about it's simile for Vietnam and what Heinlein felt were inadequacies in the political system. I guess I just read it more for that layer then for blood guts and sex. I mean a fairly important difference between film and book is that Dizzy changes sex for a start. The book is good the film is mediocre at best, lacking the depth of ideology that the book has. To me the film would have been more bearable if it hadn't tried to claim to have anything to do with the book at all.

Starship troopers is one of my all time fav's. I would not put it in the "worst" category at all.

[DaveCodes]

The first robocop was awesome, but the second not as good, and I have bothered to see the 3rd one without Paul Weller. Same director as Starship Troopers I think. It should not be in the worst category at all.

[DaveCodes]

Dont's forget that tombstone is a classic western, and Kurt is great in that one
