tonym Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Are tv movies included in this discussion? If so, I nominate "the Phantom of the Park", starring KISS. Scooby-Doo meets... some really bad writing and "acting". Another good one for a hoot with friends. It's not a discussion. Sorry for the misunderstanding Joe, but there isn't a worse movie than Showgirls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Kat Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Something's Gotta Give was pretty bad. I saw it five days before Christmas, when I got out of the theater, I thought Christmas was over. Long and boring. If it was shorter, it would have been better.

Jazzmoose Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Tony, here in the US the movie with the reputation as being the worst ever is Bela Lugosi's last flick, Plan 9 From Outer Space. I've never seen it, but I did see one when I was a kid called The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake. Boy, was that bad! And in the 70s I made the mistake of seeing The Fugs' "comedy", whatever that was called. I should have asked for my money back for that one! And speaking of bad movies, don't forget Frank Zappa's 200 Motels. Made no sense whatever! You inspired me! The wife and I watched Ed Wood tonight. I had to keep reassuring her that, yes, these we're real movies. I'm afraid she's not going to believe me until I track down Plan 9 from Outer Space. But heck, I can take it again...

BruceH Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think "Battlefield Earth" is the worst movie ever made. You could well be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Let's not forget Head, by the Monkees. Certainly must be in the running as ONE of the worst films of all time! It's unfortunate that you guys decide a movie is terrible simply because you don't think it makes sense. You're really limiting yourselves to nothing but run-of-the-mill linear narrative cinema at that point. Personally, I love the Monkees' Head. I think it's a great film and like the tunes as well. To each his own, of course. Personally, I've always really liked Eraserhead, but not Head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think Head is a cool film myself. But then I'm a Twin Peaks fan; I prefer a complete lack of logic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 ...after further consideration and deliberation, I reached consensus with me and myself, and we three confirmed that Thomas and the Magic Railroad is without doubt the single most painful movie we ever had to sit through. Those of you without younger children probably missed this steaming pile of....well we'll call it 'misthaufen' auf Deutsch. Count your blessings.

It may be a putrid pile of offal, but how does it compare with such classics as 'Barney's Christmas', 'Pokemon III' or 'Power Rangers- the Movie' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz Kat Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I used to be into the Power Rangers when I was little. Those were the days. I was only allowed to watch the show, not get any of the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, wait 'til my boy finds out Lost count of how many times I've heard Power Up!!!!!! over the last few weeks. The VHS of the movie is still lurking around my house somewhere. The release date was 1995. My then 3-year old boy loved it dearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest che Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Always difficuly to say which film was the worst, but in my top ten would be that mush of a film 'Titanic' and that song Man. Che. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyH Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 In the late 70s, when I was a huge Kiss fan, I watched the most awful piece of movie trash ever created. I didn't recognize it as such at the time, but a couple of years ago ran across it at about 2AM on some shameless excuse for a cable channel. KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978) But now I'm forced to check out Showgirls just to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark J Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Kiss Meets the Phantom movie is truly awful. They were all high when they made it, they couldn't act and the plot and script were garbage. Either Ace or Peter Criss had their voices dubbed throughout the movie because they were so bad. Ace didn't even show up half the time, and you can see scenes where suddenly he is a large black man (a poorly chosen double). What a piece of garbage!!! I remember waiting for this to be on TV when I was a kid - what a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 There have been a boatload of 'em for sure...but the one that comes to mind at this hour is that Bill Murray 'Stripes' one ---- and anything else that Goldie Hawn was in (excluding 'Death Becomes Her').

AmirBagachelles Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I am quite sure the worst movie I ever paid to see was Silver Bears with Michael Caine. Boring. Incomprehensible. Not funny. But I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
