A Serbian Film. Utterly grim.
Longlegs – an utter bore and just silly.
There was a good film in there somewhere. The fact that they took every trope imaginable and lobbed them in over the last hour utterly ruined it.
That film where Brad Pitt gets hit by a bus and death wears him as a suit is the most boring film I've ever seen. So bad, I can't even recall the name of it!
Alien Covenant and Prometheus, although well shot and have lovely cinematography, are complete shite from a writing and character perspective.

Meet Joe Black ?
The David Lynch Dune. It’s the only film that I have fallen asleep in a cinema whilst ‘watching’

Definitely outing myself here but I prefer it to the recent reboots.
That’s the reason I’m watching it! ?
Love that film, Sideways, not seen it in ages. Might have to schedule a rewatch.
Most of Marvel's movie output since Endgame. The exceptions, IMO, are Shang-Chi and GotG3. Worst garbage: Thor: Love and Thunder, and Quantumania. Although I revisited Multiverse of Madness the other day and it wasn't as bad as I remembered it.
Death Race 2000
Meet Joe Black ?
That's the one. Like having two hours of my life stolen!
Revisiting my yoof I rewatched the Crow as I saw it was streaming. I recomend not bothering.
Sure you’re not mistaking the new remake for the original? I have seen the original film a number of times, and it still stands up as a good film.
I thoroughly enjoyed Fury Road! It does what films like that are supposed to do - entertain without requiring deep analysis.
Deadpool vs Wolverine. A true turd
I’ll take that under advisement, I’ve seen the trailers and laughed out loud, I’ll be watching it on Disney+ very soon.

I think it's easily the best of the three. The sense of humour was so good it almost felt like it had been written especially for me. Lol
I think it's a fantastic watch personally.
Anything with Nicholas Cage or Adam Sandler in it. I can think of 2 films that were so hysterically awful that we watched them just to take the piss out of how truly terrible they were. Cage and Travolta? Who thought that was a good idea?
Battleship.
Nicholas Cage
I did actually like that film he was in a few years back, The Color of Space I think it was called. An SF/ horror mashup. It was actually a little unsettling at times.
Two films I rented on DVD from Blockbusters without knowing anything about them. Admittedly highly unlikely anybody will ever watch them again as it's more entertaining to describe how bad they are than watching them:
Lucky (2004) - alcoholic-cartoonist's dog tells him to murder his date and bury her in garden, dig her up to perform sex acts from time to time, and possibly also feed* bits of her to the dog.
*I might have made that bit up but also likely I didn't.
Strong why am I watching this vibes.
Bug (2006) - couple have sex in motel room then become paranoid about bugs and don't leave the room thus reducing required movie budget.
Just remember it being as dull as dishwater.
Definitely outing myself here but I prefer it to the recent reboots.
I haven't seen the second part yet, but I kind of feel similar. There's a weirdness to it that I feel is present in the books. The first part of the remake was good in its own way. But it polished out the weird bollocks. Sort of like The Isle of Dr Moreau, the weirdness of the original was better than the shit with Val Kilmer.

Battleship.I enjoyed that
Ditto. Worth watching if only for the whole "let's drop some lead on that mo********er!" sequence.
Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.
Utter
Like the film I just can't be bothered to fini
Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.
Another good one
There are some films that are best left unwatched though.
Dune. Any of them.
Irreversible just felt like a high brow excusr for an exploitation flick
The Idiots is on very sketchy ground indeed
Blair Witch Project bored the pants off me
More recently, i didn't really get much out of The Lobster, and for something billed as a black comedy it was woefully short of laughs, or even light relief tbh
6 Underground
the car chase was EPIC though.
Anything with Nicholas Cage...
Go and watch Raising Arizona if you haven't seen it. If you have seen it, what is wrong with you? 😉
Lol, i hate Nicholas cage too, but Raising Arizona is genuinely good!
Not for the same reasons but Nil by Mouth and Tyrannosaur.
Utterly brutal films that drain you.
deliverance. if you havent watched it yet dont bother, its sh1t. although im going to try and find 'southern comfort' to scratch an old itch.
and yes, blair witch project.
Open Water.
Just fill up your bath and stare at it for two hours, it’ll be much more entertaining.
Came here to say this.
The high point of the film is a few seconds of gratuitous nudity near the start. After that it's two unlikeable people floating in the sea for half the film. There's a moment of drama when one of them needs to have a wee, then has one. I won't spoiler the tension by saying which one.
I like a 'so bad it's good' film and I try to find something good in any film. I'd rather drive screws into my eyes than watch Open Water again.
I’d say any sequel, or franchise after the first film, is likely to be crap. In general they are taking what was probably a decent original idea and leaching the last few million dollars from it. There may be the occasional honourable exception, but I can’t think of any.
There's a few that spring to mind, reckon few would argue withe the following:
Godfather Part two
Terminator 2
Paddington 2
Empire Strikes back
French Connection 2
The Good the Bad and the Ugly (technically the 3rd film)
Anyway, to the matter in hand. For me Stir Crazy should be avoided at all cost. Got my son to watch it with me and sold it hard, was very funny when I was young..
Absolutely terrible. So unfunny it wasn't funny. If Gene Wilder whitter screamed one more time I was ready to put my foot through the screen and send the bill to Richard Pryor's estate. It was slow and plodding too. Astonishing how badly it'd aged
I loved Stir Crazy - I still refer to Grossberger! (I swear I saw his doppelgänger in a caravan in Dentdale once, too)
I won't watch it again and ruin my memories then.
Anyway, this is officially the worst film ever:
Gerry - starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck. I think I saw it at the cinema for some unknown reason.
With a plot like this, what do you expect:
"The friendship between two young men is tested when they go for a hike in the desert but forget to bring any food or water."

I’m a big Paul Giamatti fan ever since I saw him in Sideways.
Oh Sideways - I ****ing hated that! Everything about it.
Face/Off
I was working on a door in central London and we were all given tickets to the premiere. We all declined.
Dune
The original film was excruciating - the whispery monologue!
Anything with Nicholas Cage or Adam Sandler in it
Thing with Nicholas Cage is that some of his films are brilliant and some are terrible, there's nothing in between, no mediocrity. Actors like Tom Hanks, on the other hand, are consistently mediocre, they make solid, boring films that never take risks. I'd take a random Nic Cage film over a random Tom Hanks film any day.
You show me where the top is, and I’ll let you know whether I’m over it or not, all right, I design where the top is.
Nicholas Cage
Anything with Sean Connery.
Nic Cage isn't an actor, he's a state of mind. To be fair, he has made some utter drivel, but that's part of the fun. I loved Face/Off, it was ludicrous wonderful nonsense. Mandy is brilliant, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas etc.
On topic, I was duped into watching a bit of the Peter Rabbit film with J*s C*n in it, and I still feel sad and angry when I remember that.
Anything with Sean Connery
Wrong, because Time Bandits!
Orson Wells is shit, too.
Mark Commode’s job looks safe for now.
an early Bond film on TV, that can safely be ignored. They have NOT aged well at all. In fact the same could be said of the Roger Moore era too.
Watched A View to a Kill a while back, and it's not good, not good at all. I get that by this point Bond was filmed a bit 'camp' on purpose, but this is whole row of tents, and a meta-plot that is just a collection of other Bond plots. And Moore although 'only' in his fifties - he was 57 at the time, he looks and moves like a man in his late sixties. One critic at the time said, he's not long in the tooth so much as he has actual tusks.
I'm not a fan of either Cage or Travolta but I found Face/Off weirdly entertaining.
+1 for Lost in Translation - made my skin crawl plus it was boring as well.
I find another issue with modern films is they are just too long - take Killers of the Flower Moon, I'm sure there was a good film in there somewhere but I switched it off after about 2hrs cos it was just going on and on and on. I haven't even bothered with The Irishman for the same reason.
Oh and for pure dross that should never have been released - that Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warefare. Just felt like someone had asked ChatGPT to come up with a 'modern action movie for gen z' and pressed return.
