Signs was pretty awful. I wasn't silly enough to watch Grease II. Reign of Fire was a cowpat of a movie, IMO. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

Urban Legends 2 is high on my list. I want the time back that I wasted watching that garbage.

Signs ain't that bad surely? But please, whatever you do, no matter how much your girlfriend wants you to, don't go see Sweet Home Alabama. It's C-R-A-P. -- Andrew.

Wham Bam Thank You Spaceman[^] I watched this when I was 13 or 14. It looked good in the shop but sucked arse in a big way.

My vote is for Signs. I can't think of a worst movie at the moment...

"Hardware"...what my friends and I used to call a "Tony Turkey" after the guy who picked them. :rolleyes: The best jape I witnessed was when an old friend of mine (who shall remain nameless) was wound up to expect the other guys were coming back with a blue movie from the video rental place...only to find out they'd rented a Winny the Pooh movie instead. The worst bit was that it took him a couple of minutes to work out he'd been well and truly "had". :laugh: Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

Black Hawk Down and Pearl Harbour are pretty far down that road too. Drivel with flashing lights.

Of course if you went there expecting Fred Astair and Ginger then it is not the fault of the movie that you did not respect it. David Wulff wrote: Pearl Harbour That you even think of putting PH in the same sentence as BHD is an abomination. PH was weak. BHD most certainly was not.

Was asked if I wanted to go see SHA, I quickly did a u-turn and said I had to go back to work and err do something. Signs for what is actually was, was good. For what you expected and what they made it out to be, it sucked.

This movie pretended it had something profound to say, and failing at that did not even remain fun to watch. It was painful to watch everything unravel around Mel. BW "Gandalf. Yes.

I'm with Paul here. Black Hawk Down was a tremendous movie. I was expecting the PH "rah-rah-U-S-A" crap, but was thoroughly blown away. Then again, I much prefer war movies that make war look like war and not like a hollywood production. Full Metal Jacket was another good one. Pearl Harbour blew. J

At least I managed to laugh most of the way through that. I can even think of worse B-movies. At least Plan 9 has the excuse of bein 40-odd years old; what's The Killer Eye's excuse? Seven Years in Tibet was probably the most tedious film I've ever sat through but too well put together to be considered worst film. Maybe Driller Killer?

If it was just another action movie then it would have been borderline good, but they, rather poorly and extremely distastefully, tried to associate it with a real event that should never have been approached by Hollywood. What next - Holocaust the movie? The scene with the woman ("don't you pick that up, don't you do it") was played from entirely the wrong angle, and to be bluntly honest it made me sick to know tens of thousands of American kids will be growing up believing that was what actually happened in Somalia. Paul Watson wrote: PH was weak PH was pathetic. I'm sure it would be fine for a home audience, but please Hollywood don't push your substandard romantics onto the rest of the world.

Hate to break it to you David but stuff like that does happen. I have read many instances of women and children totting guns in war ravaged areas, picking them up and firing at whomever. Women are not all saints you know. Just over the border in Zambia kids as young as nine walk around with Kaleshnikovs terrorising anyone who tries to stop them. Frankly I disagree with your impression of the movie. I came away with the feeling that the yanks really cocked it up. There was very little ra-ra, patriotic, American Might Is Right nonense. For heavens sake, the UN had to come in and save their bacon. Of course it was not 100% accurate, no movie or book or grandpa is every going to be that. And I can assure you with first hand experience that the scenes you see where the mobs of nuts murder and strip the downed helicopter pilots and the two guys who went into save them are a good reflection of reality. I live in a pretty good part of Africa and have seen scenes like that, luckily I was on the "right" side of police and army barriers. It is scary stuff seeing people act like that. Anyway, all in all I thought BHD was technically excellent. It also was not a total lie like most Hollywood movies. Come to Africa (or go to Eastern Europe) and ask some journalists here what real life is like in places like Somalia, the Congo etc. It is worse than what the movies portray I am sure. David Wulff wrote: What next - Holocaust the movie Ummm, ever heard of Schindler's List? Rather brilliant film. I don't think any subject is unaproachable. Burying things and making them taboo is just sad. Soon we will have a movie on 9/11. I wonder why they have not brought out Lockerby yet. David Wulff wrote: SPR SPR ?
