I can't really think of anything right now. Bad movies, I know they exist in my mind, but probably chunks of my life I chose to forget.

I think bad movies have something we can all learn from. However, if a movie sucks, I usually just remember parts that really sucked, especially from TV shows.

I was at my sister's home, and my neices were watching Wizards of Waverly Place. Absolutely terrible scripts and over-the-head story boarding. They should of just ripped everything off of the Harry Potter books and changed the names for mass appeal. Not sure how kids could buy into that crappy TV show. And I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan, but I've read some of the books, which can be a 'fun' read.

I mentioned Kung Pow earlier, but the only movie where I've walked out of the theater was The Protector with Tony Jaa. I heard it was good but it was nothing like Ong Bak. The fight scenes weren't as good and everything in between was much, much worse, so I felt like there was no point. I learned later from someone who had seen it that the really good fight scene was near the end. Kinda wish I had walked IN on the movie.

Kung Pow wasn't funny and despite being extremely short it felt long. I think it would have been funny if I was 7 when I watched it.

I turned off The Killer Inside Me because it made me feel physically ill.

I am going to say The Happening was the worst movie ever.
It fucking blew.
People were cursing at the end in the theater when I saw it.

I came here to say The Happening as well.

also wanted to give Lady in the Water the 2nd worst movie ever.

The Happening was so bad it was funny. I laughed throughout the whole movie. It was unintentionally hilarious!

My nomination goes to Shangai Surprise, with which Madonna nearly ended the film career of her then-husband Sean Penn.

I think I saw most of that on On-Demand free movies somewhat recently.

It was awful, lol.

I thought The Rock was decent.. and The Island had potential, but thanks to MB.. it fell apart.

MB and the director who makes SAW movies.. would make top 5 worst directors in my list for sure.

Yeah,I didn't mention the Island b/c it started out well enough, as one would hope for that sort of thing...then BAM! Michael Bay forces his shit on you and fucks it to hell.

haha.

Any movie with Nicolas Cage in it.

Raising Arizona?
Leaving Las Vegas?
Matchstick Men?
Wild at Heart?
Bad Lieutenant New Orleans?
Lord of War?
....

Nick Cage can be good when he wants to, and is in many fine flicks.

Apparently you missed Highlander 2 and Highlander:The Source. Both far worse than Highlander 3.

:thumbsup: x20,000

Highlander 3 is actually a sequel to Highlander.

2 was a steaming pile of poo, existing in its own Universe, completely unrelated to the Highlander world.

Source.... D:D:D:

The only movie that got me pissed that I had actually watched it was The American. Seriously, halfway through I had the suspicion that nothing would ever happen.
