What's the stupidest film you've ever seen?

Eversmile, New Jersey

"Traveling dentist O'Connell traverses South America on his motorcycle for the 'Eversmile' foundation of New Jersey, in a fight not only against caries, but also against fear, ignorance, indifference - and established antediluvian dentists."

It's directed by the son of Charlton Heston, who is my favorite movie star, he starred in it, too, I guess he was pretty motivated and did a good job, playing himself, a role so typical for him. It's a pretty good movie. Dirk Benedict is in it, too.

"Theordore Rex", starring Whoopi Goldberg and a CGI dinosaur as buddy cops.

Which reminds me, has anyone seen "The Happytime Murders", with Melissa McCarthy and some foul-mouthed muppets?

Here you go R3

Aloha was so unbelievably bad.

North

Anything with Jim Carrey in it.

Theodore Rex isn't even the dumbest film Whoopi's been in. I think that title goes to the little-seen 1988 film called The Telephone (directed by Rip Torn, of all people).

For those who haven't seen it: the whole film consist of nothing but Whoopi in her apartment talking on the telephone with different people. But in the end of the film it's revealed that her phone's been disconnected for months and she's been talking to herself all along.

If you count intentionally stupid, I watched Frat Bro Party Massacre 3 on cable the other night and laughed my ass off.

Snowcake with Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman

Ricki and the Flash.

M as an elderly, old lady rock star. Ludicrous and abominable.

"Moment by Moment" starring John Travolta and Lily Tomlin as lovers.

I just saw an advanced screening of Longshot with Seth Rogen and Charlise Theron (not her real name haha). Terrible. Stupid. Not funny. Unbelievably bad. I'm not even sure who it's target audience is supposed to be. Obviously not me.

Tommy Boy. I hated it; a friend talked me into seeing it. It was annoying, sophomoric and vacuous.

Mars Needs Moms. The only good thing about it is that it was such a BO bomb that it made Robert Zemeckis stop filming those creepy motion capture cartoons for good.

Mandy. Straight guy has his HIDEOUS girlfriend murdered by "evil gay and bisexual people" and then gets revenge.

For straight people.

Wicker Man (2006) with Nicolas Cage. This is the most ridiculous movie I've ever seen. It should be seen as a comedy to be believed.

Gem in the making thread

Whoopi & Son of Godzilla😂

Idol Hands

I liked Wicker Man. Pretty funny.

Mandy was incredible. Sexual identity was not in any way pivotal to the plot (you’re reading too much into it). He’s simply avenging the murder of his girlfriend.

The Snowman.

It was so dumb, R21. It was a hot mess. Pretty, but dumb.

Any Marvel Comics movie

Crash (2004)

Those two alleged musicals M made last year almost made me envy the deaf.

The Banger Sisters.

It wasn't a film. Or even a movie. It was a purely wretched TV dramedy starring Ben Affleck as a HS football player. I watched the entire pilot episode to make sure something could actually have been that bad, and didn't go back for more. I have no idea how long it lasted, but if a second episode wasn't broadcast, I would not be surprised.

Affleck never did anything to redeem himself. How is it he is famous?

Anything with Julie fucking Andrews, that stealth homophobe sellout handmaid cracker breeder pommie goy cuntface.

Cabin Boy

[Quote] The Banger Sisters.

I love that movie.

You must be the only one, R31. I saw it in theaters and I’m still embarrassed for Goldie and Susan. Of course, that Amy Schumer thing was probably even worse, but I didn’t even bother with that after [italic]Trainwreck[/italic] lived up to his name.

Loved Cabin Boy.

R32 Lol maybe i am.

Maxie

R5 isn't that the movie where a blue-eyed, blonde Emma Stone plays an Asian woman (with an Asian last name and everything)? They didn't even bother dying her hair dark. Even those old movies with white actors in yellowface tried harder.

[quote]Mars Needs Moms. The only good thing about it is that it was such a BO bomb that it made Robert Zemeckis stop filming those creepy motion capture cartoons for good.

And traded it for a movie about a cross dressing soldier who plays with dolls.

I never heard of or read anything about Julie Andrews being homophobic. Source, please.

Marni Nixon was a better singer than she ever was and died with some, but not all, of her voice left.

All this non-binary crap is homophobic. They are trying to get rid of homosexuality by defining sex out of existence. And selling it to children makes it even more homophobic and borderline pedo.

Mandy made many lists as one of the best horror movies of 2018.

It's a movie you either love or hate. I hated it.

What the fuck movie are you talking about, R40?

I’m talking about a TV show that is a horrific betrayal of one of her earlier movies (the drag one, which along with the boobies one symbolized Blake screaming and scratching his way out of the closet).

Drowning Mona. Atrocious!

Avatar and Titanic tie for the most stupefying movies in the history of cinema. Figures they are global blockbusters.

Labyrinth, the film that ended my Bowie fandom forever.

That turned you off Bowie and not his Nazi phase, R46?

Not just David Bowie but there was a Nazi phase and a blackface phase and men dressed like women phase and celebrities dressed up phase. Not malicious and not appropriating. We were finding our irony as humans

"Zacharia, An Elecric Western"

Sky High.

Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde, although my 12 y/o self enjoyed it.

I just saw a movie called "Birdemic" today.

It's a remake of "The Birds."

Words fail me. I found a one minute clip on YouTube to post.

This is one of the action scenes.

I really wanted to find and post the scene where four people die after a flock of Eagles bomb them with "droppings".

Enjoy!

“The Day The Clown Cried” starring Jerry Lewis, which I’ve only seen in snippets and re-enactments because it was too horrible to release, even back in ‘72. That said, I suspect TDTCC has aged well. and looks like Tolstoy in comparison some of the idiotic global blockbusters - like Titanic and Avatar - released since then. We’ll find out when the Lewis estate releases it from the vaults.

R44: You said it. That movie was no [italic]Ruthless People[/italic]. Hell, it wasn’t even a [italic]Hocus Pocus[/italic]. Whenever Bette wasn’t on the screen, the results were dire.

[italic]The Cat in the Hat[/italic] with homophobes Mike Myers and Alec Baldwin and professional Uncle Tom Sean Hayes is beyond horrible. Not a single redeeming value. All the charm has been violently wrung out of it and it turned into a garish nightmare, too smutty for kids and too stupid for adults. It is probably THE worst movie ever bar none.

The Willy Wonka remake with Johnny Depp was pretty bad and downright strange.

I couldn’t even bring myself to watch it, R56. And defenders of this can spare me the “but it’s more like the book.” If you want the book, then just read the book. I don’t remember Roald Dahl spending too much time on Willy Wonka’s daddy issues.

Hollywood has a lot to answer for for putting abusive drunks in alleged family movies.

The Wife: SPOILERS - First, we’re expected to believe that a woman is so persuaded that postwar society is so sexist that she will never achieve her goal of being a writer (despite this coming after Edith Wharton, Margaret Mitchell, Edna Ferber, Olive Prouty Higgins, Fannie Hurst, Pearl Buck, Daphne du Maurier, Kathleen Winsor, Rumor Godden, Mary Renault, Patricia Highsmith, etc, have achieved phenomenal success as writers) that she willingly gives up the dream; that she then starts writing books for her less talented husband and over a 60 year time span, not a single person discovered she was writing the books, whether friends or family who might’ve recognized their different styles through letters, notes, etc., or even astute readers who can identify the writer’s sex by their style, subject matter, characters, etc (trust me, there’s a difference); despite being so allegedly mousy that she’s afraid to write her own books, yet she turns into Lady MacBeth to the one person who figures it out; and, finally, with the husband dead, she now thinks that she can write a novel in her own name and nobody will realize the fraud she committed for decades?

Seriously, Aquaman was a more believable movie.

R57 I feel the same way about those stupid Alice films Tim "Hack" Burton did.

NUDE ON THE MOON. 1961. A Doris Wishman epic.

R28 Was he on steroids in it? If so, you saw an episode of the anthology series Lifestories: Families in Crisis.

Runaway Bride. An atrocity exhibition from start to finish.

Dawson's 50 Load Weekend.

After about the twelfth load, you can see where it's gonna go, and there are no surprises.

Exorcist II

Prometheus

[italic]The Silence of the Hams:[/italic] Incredibly lame horror parody with some fairly big names: Dom DeLuise, Billy Zane, Shelley Winters, Mel Brooks, Phyllis Diller, and Rip Taylor, among others. Not even so bad it's good.

All of that guttural, out-of-control sobbing you hear is coming from me, here in the Afterlife.

Sixty-six posts! Why have you forsaken me?

Forrest Gump

Starring Joan Collins

R52. - thank you. That is the best worst clip I have seen and it made me laugh out loud. And you watched the movie so we didn’t have to.

I mean it's supposed to be stupid but still.....

"Scent of a Woman". For so many reasons.

Manos: the Hands of Fate.

Made by fertilizer salesman Hal Warren for about $27. Shot with a handheld camera that could only record 30 seconds at a time, with no sound, so the entire film was dubbed - seemingly by one man and one woman doing all the voices.

The actor who played Torgo killed himself when the reception to the film was not what he'd hoped.

[quote][R57] I feel the same way about those stupid Alice films Tim "Hack" Burton did.

At least I didn’t get drunk and beat my girlfriend.

La Jetée

Empire

"STayin' Alive", the 1983 sequel to "Saturday Night Fever", directed by Sylvester Stallone.

It's one of those rare films whose awfulness is endlessly fascinating, Stallone didn't anything about the film he was making a sequel to, the character whose story he was continuing, or the world of Broadway dancers, where the new film was set. Every time I see it, I sit there goggling at the sheer stupidity and misguidedness of it all, and when the big musical finale comes on I laugh and laugh and laugh!

R52

Birdemic again.

I found a clip of the "bird dropping" attack.

For your viewing pleasure!

It's hard to believe the filmmaker got two hours worth of film out of this.

Ed Wood Jr can finally rest in peace.

I've seen Birdemic years ago and it's pretty boring. It's fun only when the birds are onscreen but that doesn't happen often. The film may look like a joke but I read some interview with its director and he was dead serious when he made it.

A funnier crappy low-budget film that's a laugh riot from start to finish is "Ben & Arthur". I watched it on youtube with extra captions people added to the video and I literally fell out of my bad once from laughing so hard. But I think it's been deleted from YT since then.

*out of my bed

Nell is the worst movie ever made. Period.

'Prometheus." That horrible ALIEN prequel.

Man Getting Hit By Football

The Room but it’s very entertaining.

"Sausage Party". It was anything but, and a crude bore

“Troll 2,” mainly because the amateur actors had to speak dialogue that was badly translated from Italian, so every line is hilariously tone-deaf. Its weird, anti-vegan screenplay is downright bizarre - the scene where the boy saves his family from eating a “poisoned” veggie meal is easily the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen in a PG-13 film.

R86 And the actors were also directed by a man who couldn't speak English, hence the wooden performances.

They were right about veganism, though.

Jaws 4

Noah.

Still there!

The Troll 2 dinner scene:

R91 No, the version I watched was split in multiple parts. The video you linked to doesn't have all those funny captions. But the film itself is so unintentionally hilarious the captions aren't really needed.

R77 it's a mess but the soundtrack is catchy as fuck!

Money Train

R52 was not kidding. The only way we can put these dud films to good use

R72 et. al., why aren't you guys posting up the.MST3K or Riff Trax clips of these films? Most of them are available. The Room, Titanic, Manos...the list goes on

Is Mariah on the deathwatch thread here? Anyone? If not, she ought to be!

A favorite

OP, I do subtitles for a living. Don’t get me started.

Titanic-

Brutalized,, DL style

The Jim Carrey movie Man in the Moon. It was so bad I couldn't get through it. At least films like The Room were hilarious.
