'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' does not, for some reason, have a question mark. No idea why not.
You could have 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?', 'What's up Doc?' or 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?' though.
+1 for The Hobbit and it's spawn. Like butter that has been spread too thinly, (and supplemented with the chutney from the black bags hanging in the park)

No idea why not.
Because the film conclusively tells you Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Statements do not require a question mark.
That makes incomplete as phrase (or title), which is arguably worse.
ie
'Who Shot Liberty Valance', or 'Who Wasn't There' 🙂
Jason Statham was great in Lock Stock but my God have you seen the trailer for his next film 'Beekeeper'? I haven't even seen the film but just know from this that it'll be up there as a contender.
That accent!!??
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
Garbage but, like the Emperor's New Clothes, nobody would admit as much.
have you seen the trailer for his next film ‘Beekeeper’? I
I haven't, but, just guessing here, is he a retired assassin living a quiet life in the country with his bees until he is forced into a campaign of bloody retribution by an international syndicate of honey thieves?
Bring back Dennis Pennis
That..is..uncanny!
The beekeeper plot...not Dennis Pennis.
Tree of Life – a couple of hours I will never get back despite a cast including Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain.
Weird. This is one of my favourite films. Like most Terence Malick films you have to get past the idea of expecting some sort of storyline 🙂

No, it's a thoughtful exposition on society, framed with reference to the love that a beekeeper must have for their charges. It's lovingly shot in autumnal tones (repesenting the death of all of us and of society), with a score by anyone from Radiohead. Statham stands out in an elegiac role, with a performance not seen since Depardieu in Jean de Florette. His rage at the death of the queen bee is simply worthy of Lawrence as King Lear.
Or guns and shooting and running and crashing...
Poetic
Option 2?
I'm just guessing of course, for all I know, Stratham may have hidden depths that just needed the right director to bring to the surface.
His rage at the death of the queen bee is simply worthy of Lawrence as King Lear.
"I am a man more sinned against than sinning...<fires 27 rounds out of one pistol magazine into horde of honey ninjas>"
That makes incomplete as phrase (or title), which is arguably worse.
Perhaps they decided against calling it "Judge Doom, Who Framed Roger Rabbit", on account of it being a mahoosive spoiler?
Has there ever been a good film with punctuation in the title? Usually the inclusion of “ / : – “ etc is a warning of what is to follow.
Face/Off
Mission: Impossible
I think you mean
Mission: Impossible
Mission: Impossible III
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
Mission: Impossible – Fallout
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
...with a deliberate omission, and I think Face/Off is dreadful but I'll let you have it for pointing out the M:I isn't
Of the films I've watched for more than 15 minutes: Starwars (no idea which one it was).
Of the films I've watched for more than half an hour: Out of Africa
Of the films I've sat all the way through: Top Gun.

Maybe it’s for the best that Jackson’s remake of Dambusters seems to have fallen by the wayside. My mate reckoned he’d have been unable to resist an hour-long sequence of the crews being trucked across Scampton to dispersals.
I pride myself on finding and watching the worst movies ever.
So I have a challenge... can you find a worse film?
The worst one so far is a rip-off of Predator, starring Kevin Sorbo (you may know him from the cheezy Hercules TV series).

It still won't be as bad as Prometheus.

Only if you confuse subjectivity with objectivity.
Prometheus has it's issues, but 'flesh wounds' is objectively terrible in every conceivable metric that I can think of.
I stand by what I said.
I guess you haven't watched the hobbit either? 😀
I can show you new depths of bad films... so deep you'll need a new measuring device!

Dracula Reborn.
1.8 and thats to high.
another vote for Prometheus
We still have to debate this?
Ghost Ship is available on Prime.
Come on people, prove me wrong.
In more recent entries; Rebel Moon.

Just watched that. My charitable summary was that it must be based on a great book and they just weren’t able to retain any of the bits that explained what was going on in the film.

Top 20 worst films ever have been playing over the last 48 hours.
Bad? You haven’t seen bad. How about these two beauties?
And bear in mind these star established actors at the top of their game (apparently).
I read the reviews of Rebel Moon, and thought "How bad can it be?" and then I watched it.
Leave the World Behind.
Oh dear.
Watched the new Indiana Jones film yesterday, it's not as terrible as it was being made out to be (never saw any 'wokeness' that was being talked about, just bad characters and writing), but it did look really tired and trying to use the same formula as the original films, but made in a way that makes it look like the other knock off Indy Jones films. Sadly i think the last two Indy films were really not needed and just gave us a sad ending to Indy's life.
It was the CGI that really ruined the latest Indy movie for me. ROTA looks significantly better despite coming out 42 years ago.
Anyone can make a bad film with bad actors, no talent and no money. It takes a special talent to create a film soo bad with good actors and a seemingly bottomless bag of money. That film is AI. The worst bit is the endless false ends to the film. They make you think ‘thank heavens that’s finished, and then…’. <br /><br /> https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0212720/
@nickc There was a massive puff-piece in Empire for Rebel Moon and it looked OK…
Sadly i think the last two Indy films were really not needed and just gave us a sad ending to Indy’s life.
I don't think I can bring myself to watch Dial of Destiny based on how appalling Crystal Skull was.
Indiana Jones finished with Last Crusade.
That's why it had the word LAST in it.
Can I suggest that everyone avoids Silent Night, it is unremitting rubbish.
Dial of Destiny was better than Crystal Skull...Crystal Skull had a level if unplug brain and then it went even further (was an ok Indiana Jones film up until the last half hour and the spaceship mince - everything else was standard Indiana Jones levels of daftness)...Dial of Destiny seems to have a consistent level of unbelievableism which made it better.
Saying that, neither are top 10 films...
Rebel Moon is bad. There’s a film in there somewhere and not necessarily a good one. Usual Snyder affair of too much slow motion and shots designed to look good in a trailer. I can’t understand how film studios still give him money. Copying Star Wars and The Seven Samurai should result in a film that’s at least watchable and makes some sense.
Crystal Skull had a level if unplug brain and then it went even further (was an ok Indiana Jones film up until the last half hour and the spaceship mince – everything else was standard Indiana Jones levels of daftness
Crystal Skull is rubbish but I’ve never understood the aliens being the bad bit. Raiders had holy face melting ghosts and Last Crusade has an immortal knight living in a cave. If anything more unbelievable than aliens.
Can I add candy cane lane to this roll call of utter toss? Bloody glad we didn’t pay out to watch at the cinema 😱
@mattyfez – if you don’t already, you should listen to “How Did This Get Made” podcast
Or the "For your reconsideration" podcast, which is better as they're Brits (well, Northerners)
i thought the dial of destiny was way better than crystal skull, but that's not a high bar tbf.
neither are worst film ever level
there's a million godawful xmas movies on streaming services that probably are tho
Anything with Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme in it.
That would put Under Seige in a worst film list!?!
highbrow it ain't but it's a great brain out action film, plus has Tommy Lee Jones in a briliantly knowing, scenery chewing performance.
Having just watched the new Animated Mario Bros film, I’m re watching the 1995 live action version.
It’s gloriously awful.
Monsters - Dark Continent. Apparently it was a sequel? Complete bobbins.
I pride myself on finding and watching the worst movies ever.
I got this from the library the other day. I think you'll like it.
Watched the new Indiana Jones film yesterday, it’s not as terrible as it was being made out to be
Odd, I'd heard the opposite, that it was a return to form after Crystal Skull.
never saw any ‘wokeness’ that was being talked about
Oh, that's disappointing.
We stupidly watched Kandahar on Prime the other day
Formulaic dross
Can I add candy cane lane to this roll call of utter toss?
My SIL is a connoisseur of Christmas film barrel scrapings and even she thought it was a pile of steaming goat ****.
@ratherbeintobago, give it a watch. I'm not a fan of Empire reviews much as it happens, they're a bit too keen to give anything remotely "SciFi adjacent" a good score JIC. As the Funkmaster points out, it really should be solid, Star wars meets revenge movie; but's just awful, bad acting, terrible overuse of slow-mo, (someone wrestle that function away from Zack, for the love of god) it just makes watching it feel even stronger like your life is draining away before your eyes..
How to spend millions and waste it.
That would put Under Siege in a worst film list!?!
Is it ?. All I know is girl bursts from cake.
I have tried to watch rebel moon 3 times now, haven't made it past the 20 minute mark. It is generic, cliched and has terrible dialogue. They don't seem to have spent any of the budget on writers. It is like one of those studios who used top make cheap knock of versions of big films with similar titles accidentally gave one of their directors 10x the normal budget. It is basically mid afternoon filler material for the scifi channel.
But is isn't close to being "worst film" which should keep you entranced by its awfulness, it should make you feel used and dirty, you know you should look away but you can't help keep watching, it should make you question your life choices and why you didn't just stop ****ing watching. Whereas with rebel moon, it is quite easy to just go and make a cup of tea and and then stare out of the windows for a couple hours instead knowing that this is a better use of your time.
They don’t seem to have spent any of the budget on writers.
Zac Synder is fast become the new Michael Bay, with Bay its revolving camera shots and upskirts, with Synder its slow motion. Rebel Moon is just a Sci-Fi version of Six Underground.
Zac Snyder is long past that stage. I'll hazard a guess that there's a girl in Rebel Moon with a tragic back story who has been raped or otherwise abused by the antagonist.
Watch Men was an overly long filler fest of ZS tropes.
Sucker Punch was the same.
Why would he change now?
If no one has mentioned it already (I may have even mentioned it myself and then erased the memory on purpose) Bruce Willis in 10 Minutes Gone was probably THE worst film we've watched in modern times!
The plot, the acting.... painful.
Any time Snyder gets full control of a film (directs, writes and produces), it's a recipe for disaster, Watchmen was decent because he just directed it, and used the comic book as the storyboard for the filming, 300 again was just the right place, right time kind of movies, so he got away with the way that was done and Man of Steel again was him just directing.
The movies he's had full control, well Sucker Punch, Army of the Dead and now Rebel Moon, he just doesn't do well when he writes movies he directs!
Indiana jones and dial of dross was terrible. Struggled to find any redeeming features.
saltburn
you all need to watch some actual really bad films, Rebel Moon was predictable, silly and souless, but hardly worst film ever
I watched Star Slammer last night. I love watching really objectively bad movies. This one did not disappoint.
I'd strongly urge eveyone to watch 'Zombeavers', although, strictly speaking it falls into the parody/so-bad-it's good catagory... especially the out-takes at the end.
Theres one particular scene where they throw a little dog into the water as a decoy, so they can swim away safely from the zombie-beaver(s)
But they couldn't get the dog to stop playing in the water with what is clearly a radio controlled speedboat model with a faux beaver fur pelt, draped on top of it!

Excellent, it's on my watch list for exactly this reason!

TBH I have a feeling he was doing a fair few of his last films by having his lines read to to him.
It’s all a bit sad to see him go out this way, considering how many good films he’s been in.
TBH I have a feeling he was doing a fair few of his last films by having his lines read to to him
He was. He did a ton of films. Couple of million dollars per film for about 20 minutes work. He was noticeably struggling on set.
^^^agreed 🙁
There’s a lot of hate for The Hobbit (x3) but they’re actually not bad films. Sure they’re a bit thin at times, but there’s some seriously good bits, good acting, tremendous visuals and some great music.
I watch them most most Christmas’ and New Year whilst cooking.
Worst film ever? Green Lantern without a shadow of a doubt.

That reminds me,
I haven't watched it so can't comment further, but a friend of mine stars in this:
+1 for Saltburn being crap
