[#1038858]

Following on from Georges 'favourite films'; maybe / maybe not those you think are "the worst film ever made", but the ones you just couldn't handle at the time. 2 for me -

Sleepers; poorly made, poorly acted, like a pop video. Should've been a gripping subject, but decided to centre on lingering slo-mo shots of chiselled actors doing EMOTION.

Van Helsing; the relentless insane-cackling of every woman other than Kate Beckinsale fried my brain. That & other exaggerated stereotypes had me out in 15 mins. Only good thing was Ms. Beckinsale & her weapon-craft....

I would have walked out of Snake Eyes, but it was on in my house on my TV and my house mates wanted to watch it.

Walking out of my own house would have set a dangerous precedent.

Just to make the cinema trip even worse, we walked out only to discover we'd lost the car & house keys and had to get a lift home to break in to our house to get the spare set. 🙁

Jam bo; that's interesting - got Casino DVD few weeks ago; the 1st half is boring as...., then it picks up a lot in the 2nd half. Have you watched the whole thing since?

Lost in Translation - plot was spoon fed with a ladle, comes to something when you pay good money to waste 90 mins of your life - I can do that for free on here anytime...

the exorcist part III, partly because it was so bad and the girl i took to see it had just lost her father so the scenes of the undead walking the streets were a little too close to home for her

the sequel to Jurassic park. Saw the first one off my box, fantastic. Saw the second one stone cold, utter drivel. Watching the first one again and even in that state, I was right...

[i]Thin Red Line[/i] - is that the Vietnam film? I love that film, have watched it twice!

As said in the fave films one - Highlander. Such rubbish and I couldn't cope with the accents!

Didn't walk out, but fell asleep during, Patriot Games. Made me realise how much I hate "action" movies, so I don't watch any of them now!

Moulin rouge, biggest pile of shite that the wife dragged me to. Walked out after 20 mins and left her to it. Luckily mike bassett was on in the screen door.

Showgirls, not even half a bottle of red and the prospect of tits galore could save that one.

Crash

Utter, utter shite. Full of the most obvious cliches and cheesy cinematography. I have never forgiven Mark Kermode after he recommended that pile of crap.

The body guard with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

The worst film for me was 'Gigli' with Jennifer Lopez and her squeeze at the time Ben Affleck. Dreadful, dreadful film.

Aliens.
Yes I know lots of people think it is 'a superior combat sci-fi movie blah blah blah' but I thought it was really poor and couldn't stand to see the hash that Cameron made of things. I had to walk out.
Alien was a fantastic, beautiful, clever piece of cinema with solid performances and credible psychology, but the sequel is just an 'executive producer's cash in' The only plus point is it gave industrial designer Syd Mead some work.
I'm aware of how much lower 'the franchise'(sorry there's no puking-up smiley) sank with the following sequels, but the first is where the rot started.

a film called Level 5, story of a woman talking about of his partner who designed a video game and die. Only film I walk away, in fact I went to another room to watch something else in the same theater.

Not me but a few in the audience walked out of a film called "Man bites Dog". Must admit I was glad the the film was in B/W.

I've only left the cinema twice.

Pret a porter - We lasted about 45 minutes of this utterly pointless film which was made even more unbearable by a group of gheyers in front of us who laughed hysteracally throughout.

Waynes World - Surrounded by greasers and metalers who you knew hadn't seen pussy since the day they were born. Me and the missus walked after about 30 minutes, didn't laugh once.
Watched it since though and chuckled.

bewitched, with will ferrell and nicole kidman.

i used to work in a cinema so i have a very tolerance for films devoid of redeeming features.... 20 minutes i lasted, god.....

I have said it before and I'll say it again Mac and Me is the worst film ever ever ever made.

What was that one about the yank billionaire who built the Spruce goose(flew it 10 yards and went home).Now theres a proper pile of dog dooda - 3 hrs we sat through it.The worst of it was,the place was packed and I did'nt have the balls to walk out.Did have an overriding impression tho,that if I did,it might have started a trend.The thought of this film still gives me the horrors! - Oh aye,now I remember,Howard Huwwey was'nt it?

WTF half these films are quite good!?

i'm pretty good at watching rubbish films, but "Battlefield Earth" was on the tv the other day. That redefines what a cr@p film is!
worse than The Avengers (remake) and that was pretty bad.

The original Baron Munchausen is the only film I have ever walked out of.

I feel bad cos I've sat through much worse.

Many of the above are OK, though some are dreadful

The Aviator?

I didnt see it at the cinema but I did get it on DVD (cheap thankfully). Its now being used as a coaster before I turn it into a frisbee for the neighbours dog.

I havnt walked out of the cinema (if Ive paid for it then Ill watch it to get my moneys worth) but I have been close. Stepbrothers springs to mind.

Had to struggle to watch a few dvds all the way through and turned quite a few off...What Happens In Vegas was one, Blue Velvet was another..both utter shite IMO
