- The Black Dahlia - see it to see what I mean! You try following just one of the stories and tell me if it's coherent.
- American Werewolf in Paris - another one of those movies I wanted to see when I was 13 and watched years later...and hated! I can't even believe how this movie played out, the script writer (if you can even give them that title) had no idea what he/she wanted, so he threw in every thought he/she had and crapped out this garbage
- Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story - pure garbage from beginning to end. Cameos and popular cast don't save this crap
- Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls - too many sick parts and stupid quotes I used to think were funny and a serious lack of actual humour
- Seven Beauties - maybe I misunderstood this movie, but the pacing sucked so horribly as did the acting and script that I would have not watched it any longer than I did if it wasn't required for my Italian Cinema class
- Happy Gilmore - another case of nothing being funny in the movie and it's supposed to be a comedy
- Idle Hands - man, I wanted to see this when it came out in theaters. Then again, that was when I was 13...or 14, whatever, it was when I was young and didn't know much about movies. This movie is godawful. Godawful. Another movie where I had to force myself to finish. It's one of those horror flicks where something jumps up on screen and they blast a sound effect to make the audience jump, I didn't jump, I just thought it was stupid.
- Dirty Pretty Things - uggghhh.....
- The Opposite of Sex - It's worse than The Italian Job!
- Kazaam - Shaq can't act, everyone knows this. Best review on this movie is by Roger Ebert, read it.
- Little Shop of Horrors - I thought this movie would be cool (when I was 14) because it had the word horror in the title. I was wrong, just another movie that makes me feel uncomfortable, and I really hated that lady's lisp - "Theemore."
- Tourist Trap - I don't think that maybe this movie is bad cinematically, but I hated it. I thought it was so disturbing - even being the point of the film - I couldn't take it.
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre: the Next Generation - I didn't find this movie scary, just disturbing that someone would make this bad.
- Hedwig and the Angry Inch - this got good reviews and it's not that I can't see why, again, I just didn't like it. I thought the filmmakers made an honest attempt at this movie, but I couldn't enjoy it.
- To Wong Fu Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar - as with all the other movies on this list, I didn't like this movie. I'm not so sure if it was aweful cinematically, I just remember not being able to stand it.
- The Blair Witch Project - I really didn't enjoy this film (I wonder why it's on this list). I didn't find it frightening or interesting or a fresh idea, just one that made me nauseous. Needs rewatch
- The Grifters - what the hell is this movie? It is critically acclaimed...by a bunch of monkeys! This movie lead up to nothing, not even anti-climatical.
- Three Ninjas at Mega Mountain - it was a Sunday afternoon, gotta hate those, and I had nothing better to do than continuously yell at my TV for how horrible this movie is
- Anaconda - it was cool when I was 12 and was getting into PG-13 movies, and you've just got to love the backwards waterfall...not
- B-Movie: Farmhouse Massacre - seen at the TamBay Film fest this past spring, thee worst movie I've ever seen, 2 hours long, unfunny, unoriginal, mindwaste
- The Italian Job (2003) - everyone says: "it's just mindless entertainment." Mindless: yes. Entertainment: no. Ocean's 11, while not incredible cinema, was good entertainment. Watch and hate 'Job.' "It's so rediculous in nature that it defies description." - Lewis Black
- Armageddon - for reasons everyone should know
- Rocky Horror Picture Show - I wonder how many people will jump on me for this one, you know what? I don't care, I hate it, hate it, hate it, even the timewarp.
- Matrix: Reloaded - where is the inventiveness from 'The Matrix'? It didn't carry over.
Author Comments:
The films on this list are more of popular films a mass of people may like that I don't. The list probably won't include films from Mystery Science Theater 3000 since most of us are in accord with the awfulness of the films viewed on that show.
Do you mean the 2003 remake of "The Italian Job", or the original 1969 one?
Definetely the new one.
What is wrong with the action sequences? However the rave/dance scene I will give you but that is one small 5 to 10 minute scene and it does not impede on the rest of the movie, and what are you talking about with the Source? I found this movie just as original as the first movie.
Joe,
Many people find this movie original. I wasn't intrigued. And I really don't like computer generated people, that's not why I didn't like it though (I'm talking about the Agent Smith(s) vs. Neo scene). It just got repetative. The car chase...moderate.
Interesting, I did not really notice the CGI too much during the Neo vs Smith fight. Only on extreme close ups which did not bother me. We just differ on the car chase which I thought was spectacular. Your views are the same as my dad, weird...
"It is critically acclaimed...by a bunch of monkeys!"
One of my favorite Listology lines!
Even if it does make me a monkey...
This list is loads of fun! More than a barrel of... ah, forget it...
Great list!
Shalom, y'all!

Just curious, what was it about Dirty Pretty Things you didn't like? I quite enjoyed it, except for the tacked-on ending.
I don't know if you read my review or not, but I probably wouldn't have hated it so much if not for the aweful direction. I can give you many instances of this if you want. Many people say that a movie has good direction, but a lot of the time, they're not crediting the right thing. I didn't like the plot of this movie, the acting, the soundtrack, or the jokes. I did like Delicatessen by Jean-Pierre Junot and I felt like this movie was taken lightly from it, but that's not a reason for me not to like it.
Lucky you. You've apparently never seen any Ed Wood or MST3K movies. Most of these look like The Godfather compared them.
Haha, I actually don't know what the names of the MST3K movies are, but I love that show. And no Ed Wood movies...yet.
Well, did you think the movies on the MST3k episodes were worse than the ones on this list?
Some I thought were worse than the ones on this list, but those films are on MST3K, so of course they're going to be awful. This list is for more of the films that people might honestly like that I really don't.
Ah, fair enough. It'd be nice to have that qualification noted somewhere, perhaps author comments...
Good suggestion. Thanks.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with Ed Wood, it was his single take method that stank. ;?)
I have yet to see one of his films. All I've heard are negative things. I saw bits of the mock movie "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" and it was absolutely brilliant, I need to rent it next time I go to Blockbuster.
The Opposite of Sex was horrible, but not as bad as Bereft.
I, for one, enjoyed all of The Opposite of Sex except that lame ending monologue whose moral message is awfully counterproductive to the movie's earlier sense of depravity... Come on, at least, you can't knock the acting, Christina Ricci, Lisa Kudrow and Martin Donovan are all very very good.
I won't go into detail trying to explain why The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a massively important movie and your very forward hatred of it might actually be a "warped" (get it ?) way of actually confessing you deeply on a subconscious level love this movie and secretly wish you were more like the Transylvanians in your everyday life that is otherwise pretty boring I guess... Ah, let your inner transvestite out, baby... give yourself over to absolute pleasure... you'll be glad you did... it only hurts the first time... *maniacal laughter*
Movies from the list that i like:
Dodgeball
The Opposite of Sex, this movie is so quotable is not even funny: Wow she's the human tabloid.
Hedwig and the angry inch
The blair witch project
The Italian job
I haven't seen The grifters or Dirty pretty things, but heard great things about them, i believe they are directed by the same guy.
I think that one of the most HORRIBLE movies ever made was Looney Tunes: Back in Action. When it came out 2003, when i was six, i actully saw it twice. Now i relise that was a dreadful mistake. It isn't funny, It isn't suspenceful and what the fuck is Jeff Gordon doing in it? Just thinking about it makes me want to kill myself!
