What's the best and worst film you've seen...EVER?
Personally I have a problem choosing between Usual Suspects and Shawshank Redemption. And I was tempted to ask Steven Spielberg for my money back for that piece of crap A.I!!
so many good movies to choose from. Fight Club is definitely way up there, so are Shawshank and Unforgiven.
and...
Bewitched easily takes the cake for worst. What a waste of time. I tried twice to watch it and fell asleep both times. I have no clue what possessed me to go back for seconds...
Aliens I simply consider to be the best movie of all time. You can keep your weepy real-world drama, and contrived humor. Give me prototypical gun-toting space marines and salivating xenomorphs any day.
The Fantastic Four was simply a horrible, horrible mistake. It had a few decent special effects, but these were overshadowed by the woefully painful acting and laughably poor writing. And it wasn't even bad in the sense that some cult films are bad. It didn't wrap back around to being so bad that it was good. (like the Evil Dead movies or Killer Klowns)
Oddly enough, I absolutely hated Starship Troopers, despite the fact that it's premise is very similar to Aliens.
best: Raiders of the Lost Ark for sure
worst: Disaster Movie or any of those recent sacks of shit with movie in the title. there is no plot just endless stupid remade scenes that are not funny at all. makes me want to gank a bitch.
Heat/Gattaca/Donnie Darko/Lost in Translation/Blade Runner/The Assassination of Jess James ...to name a few impossible to pick only one.
I make an honest effort to not watch really horrible movies but it's usually the blockbusters that trick me like ...the new star wars episodes and spiderman 3
So it's ok to swear IN the thread? F*ck, f*ck, f*ckity-f*ck...I'm mighty glad about that! Meanwhile...join in or desist from lecturing grown men. Thanks. :-)
Best: Apocalypse Now! Redux(my favorite film of all time)
Worst: Robocop 3
And what's with all this: "OMG BAD WORD SKY IS FALLING!!!!! BBQ½!"-crap? It is pure stupidity to get so worked up about a single word... Yes, even if it starts with an N or F or G.
best: im gonna say pulp fiction. Just love that movie no matter how many times I see it.
worst: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. I am not even joking when I say this is the worst movie. This was the biggest shitload of fuck I've ever seen..I honestly think the producers, writers and directors all sat down and said to each other; "now how can we make this movie even worse than the last!?"
It was so bad tho that me n my friends and a bunch of other people in the theater were laughing our asses off at some of the shitty lines n scenes near the end, lol I was crying almost.
I recently watched Burn After Reading as part of a doublebill with The Hudsucker Proxy. Although I enjoyed BAR, it really couldn't stand up to the majesty Hudsucker.
Yeah... Saw that that was coming out, and wondered "Wasn't the first one based on a true story? Are they back?" Was it good?
Either way, on the first one, we used to flip coins or call in 'debts' on who had to go in, watch the ending of the movie and clean out the theater. That was the first movie we gave full refunds on, even if people sat all the way through it.
worst - tricky. Possibly Battle Royale 2. At least in recent memory
OH MY GOD. I forgot about Battle Royale 2.... Man.... That was a pile...
On that note, did you ever see "Sengoku jietei 1549"
Best movie Ever: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083050/ original with hardcore real man sony chiba. "Sony Chiba" is Japanese for "Biggest Dick In The Room."
worst movie Ever: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453396/ remake with metrosexual lady-boy. (For some reason there is a mega man trailer on the videos for this? wtf?)
Best: Godfather 2/Dumb & Dumber changes on my mood.
Worst: Depends honestly there's been films that I've been hyped about and horribly let down (most Aronofsky films) and then there's just plain bad (Teeth, It's Pat the Movie, etc). So I guess it's a hard thing to say.
BLADERUNNER:D
is best.
WORST?
EVIL DEAD BUT ITS STILL FUCKING AWESOME
This is a phenomenon that I'd like to address, especially since it seems to come up often in these types of discussions. There are some movies that manage to achieve a certain "camp" quality. They are bad, and they know they are bad, and they revel in it. By embracing their lack of polish, they actually succeed in going through their own lack of quality, and become good. There are actually a lot of fan-favorite movies that fall into this category. Oddly enough Ben Stiller is in a lot of them. (Brenden Fraser and Adam Sandler are also regulars)
A good example is Zoolander. It is not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination. But by embracing its own ridiculousness, it still manages to be entertaining. Another example is The Mummy. It is a mess of half-baked acting, a painfully predictable script, and Brenden Fraser. But it is still a lot of fun to watch. The entire Evil Dead series, along with Army of Darkness, is one of the very best instances. Not good movies by the usual standards by which movies are usually judged. But I love watching them anyway.

I'll give you the 30 second bunnies version.
They bring a baby on a yacht. Everyone except the mom (who is deathly afraid of the water), the baby and the Drunk Frat Guy (captain), jump off for a swim.
DFG tries to score with the MILF while she's checking on her kid (that's classy) and after being shut down he picks her up and jumps into the water (sure fire way into a chicks pants). Then remembers you need a ladder to get back on the yacht (classic frat guy).
The kid wakes up screaming (and doesn't stop).
DFG has a brain storm which leads to a failed swim suit rope ladder. I know what you're thinking, "all right BOOBS to the rescue!"
(the kids still screaming).
Naked DFG says bikini's aren't strong enough to support his massive frame, he needs the trunks from all the guys... He also needs a boost...
Which turns into a few uncomfortably long moments of drunk frat guys grinding. Until they finally rub two brain cells together and come to the realization that its impossible to boost in water.
DFG's girlfriend freaks about every min for 15min at random. It's the best and funniest parts of the movie.
