....

For me a couple that stand out:

1) Aeonflux
2) All bar the original Fast & Furious films
3) The Italian job remake
4) Black Sheep

What can you own up to?

Blair witch project.

Try watching it without any prior knowledge of the film and been completely hammered on an assortment of chemicals and good weed. 😯

Too many to list. I sort of enjoy watching shit films because they require no effort and are generally a laugh.

Black Sheep was great, in a spoof kind 50s B-Movie kind of way.
watched about 5 minutes of Aeon Flux, couldn't do with all the somersaults. WTF was that about.
Same in Highlander. If you're going to sneak up on someone in an underground car park, there are quieter ways of doing it. I got about 5 minutes into that & then gave up

anyway, back to the OP
Point Break
The Matrix
Bill & Ted... I think there's a pattern developing here 😉

Sat through [url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338526/ ]Van Helsing[/url] the other night, despite the fact I'd seen it before. Utter drivel.

Same with [url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329774/ ]XXX 2[/url] which was also on recently.

The first time I found Blair Witch scary was a week after watching it when I was at the Chase for the first time and we got lost in the middle of nowhere it got dark and we had no lights!! We were crapping ourselves every little noise was something odd, every tree looked the same and we WERE being watched!

over 10 years later I recognised where we were lost because it is now one of the first sections of follow the dog and while trying to escape our deaths we crossed the road at what is now the start of the monkey trail.

And in reply to the OP I'm off to watch Fast and Furious 5 tonight.

Speed.

JFK

Ultraviolet.

Blair Witch was tedious, was praying for the screaming girl to get wacked pretty quickly.

The Lair of the White Worm is a cult sleazy comedy porn b-movie, quite unique.

The Bodyguard is awful, as is Waterworld and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, has Costner ever made a good film?

Tron: Legacy.

As said above, great soundtrack though.

Given that the Tron Legacy soundtrack was done by Daft Punk I expected it to be a bit more experimental.. a lot of it seemed to be the standard orchestral type score rather than interesting electronic music.

I paid to watch transformers 2, (can't remember why either) knowing it would be truly awful.. one of the only films I've ever considered walking out on.

other than that I sometimes mildly like rubbish movies - National Treasure and Van Helsing being two prime examples 🙂

MrGrim - take it back or get out of this forum, Dead snow is a classic!

I love bad zombie movies (not that Dead snow falls into this category, it's a great zombie movie).

I like to have films on while I work at home. I saw Trancers on some free movie channel and suffered it, the next day they showed trancers 2, so I had that on. This pattern went on through all 5 of the films in the series.

Toby dead snow is funny, I don't rate it as a bad film as it's hilarious. I like cheap horror, I've noticed anything with 'wrestlings' above the name of one of the stars is bad, but laughable in a way I'm sure was not the directors intention.

The Last Airbender.

Was quite drunk when I watched it. It really is as bad as the reviews suggest, with the exception of one classic line delivered by an elderly lady:

"I knew you were a bender the moment I saw you."

Was the only person to see Skyline or am I alone in thinking it was the worst film of the year so far?

TOOk my 15 yr old son to see a film as a treat last weekend. THere was nothing on we both wanted to see, so I comprised and saw 'your highness' rather than 'the fast and the furious 73' or something. Omg it was gash! Crass swearing masquerading as humour. No wit at all. ONe joke centered on the main character sporting a severed minotaur member as a pendant after rescuing his buddy from being anally probed by aforementioned beast. DUring and following the attempted buggery the tumescent appendage looked disturbingly like a real human penis . I couldn't decide if it was some kind of extreme parody of itself or that it had been certified as a 15.
Natalie portman and Charles dance must have been on crack to agree to be in it.

Sometimes I like to watch a cheesy action movie late at night with a beer or two, and I don't always make it through them if they're particularly bad.

One night I caught a film called "Wanted" which starred Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy - so I thought it couldn't be that bad.

Biggest load of overblown, incoherent guff I've seen since Charlies Angels 2. It was as if it was written by a 12-year-old. But somehow had to watch to the end to see if it could get any more cliched and rubbish.

slogged through the new robin hood aberration this morning to put off rodding the drains. having now done both i'd say the blocked drain was more fun.

nearly as bad as battle:los angeles (or "independence day for spastics" as i've come to think of it). i wish i could have turned both of them off, but was entranced by how godawful they were. the latter's probably the worst film i've seen.

Given that everything that Daft Punk have produced following Homework is bland pop muzak by numbers, this doesn't surprise me. I was gutted when I heard the follow up, as Homework is one of the greatest albums ever.

As for the films, I happened across 'Hysteria - the Story of Def Leppard' recently. That's bad.

I watched this the other night, thought i'd be in for a good sci-fi but how wrong was I 🙁 Thing is it looked like it could have had potential to be a good film done right. I can't believe their left it open for a follow up.

The Happening, was told it was crap and 30 minutes into the film I knew it was crap but I sat their till the end to see what happened 🙁

Inglorious Basterds by Tarantino. What a load of pretentiousness. No film needs chapters if the narrative flows, the overblown run-up to the shootout in the cellar bar was interminable. Usual Tarantino nihilistic stuff where only the big star survives the carnage.

More Skyline news. apparently you can download a free copy from some website or other. Imagine sacrificing so much bandwidth. Sequel, please no.
Watch "Skeletons" fantastic film. One of the best british/european films I have seen. fantastic.
