Is the 1980 "Popeye" movie with Robin Williams the absolute WORST movie ever? - Page 4

I can't believe I sat and watched the last 55 min. of this movie. For some reason I just HAD to see how it ended.

Of those three, I think Gigli suffers from Bennifer exhaustion more than raw suckiness. It was blah, but not achingly bad.
Leonard Part 6, was a real letdown. The funny stuff wasn't funny. The stupid stuff was actually stupid, not 'funny stupid.' And the cherry on the sundae was the slow loving shots of pitchman Bill enjoying a COOL REFRESHING THRISTQUENCHING COCA-COLA, puts the product placement parody in Wayne's World II to shame.
Captain America was soul suckingly bad. About on the level of catching sight of a mentally reeruned person touch himself in public. You want to laugh, you want to cry, you want to put a stop to it, but mostly you just want to be somewhere else.

I'm with you. I have all the premium channels via Time Warner Cable but the only movie that I have seen more than five minutes of is "Return of the Mask."

Other than maybe a dozen or so, I haven't even heard of any of those movies.

No way should Hercules in New York be on that list of worst movies. It's so bad that it's very entertaining.

Similarly, Tarzan the Ape Man shouldn't be on the list, either. Yeah, it was a bad, bad movie, but toward the end it featured Bo Derek at her peak being tied up naked and body-painted by African cult tribespeople. That alone vaults the movie to above average.

The movie never even ended. They just ran out of film and stopped.

I'm with you on this. I laughed my ass off at Ice Pirates. Especially the when they go through the time warp and age rapidly during the climatic fight scene.

It depends on what you mean by 'worst'.

Some movies are so-bad-it's-good. Some are just awful and unwatchable. Battlefield Earth is so-bad-it's-good. Another one is a 70s movie called "at the earth's core". Starship troopers was one I thought was so awful that it was funny and thus unintentionally entertaining.

Unwatchable would be like... 'from dusk till dawn', super mario bros, dude where's my car, catwoman, wild wild west, etc.

Maybe it's just me but I like from Dusk til Dawn.

Big Momma's House 2 must really suck if it's made it's way to 56 after being in theaters only a couple of weeks.

Fat Albert with Keenan Thompson...or anything besides the matrix series where Keanu Reeves is the lead actor...

I didn't think it was bad either. Certainly not worthy of "worst ever" mention.

Of course, I love Ice Pirates, so maybe I'm not a suitable judge of quality.

**Rain Man** · 02-19-2006, 05:23 PM

I thought "From Dusk Till Dawn" was okay, too. Not great, but okay.

This thread isn't complete without a "Brian De Palma should die for what he did to Bonfire of the Vanities' rant.

I watched it by accident and had no idea that it was a vampire movie until the vampires started eating people. One minute it's about two dysfunctional criminals and a kidnapped family and then HOLY SHIT WE'VE GOT FANGS AND BLOODSUCKING!

I thought that was really cool. Of course, knowing it was a vampire movie going in would have really taken the edge off. But I enjoyed it and was floored by the plot twist.

It really is like two movies.

I thought Cheech's carnival barker bit was hilarious.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 showed many movies so bad they were funny, primarely from the 50's and 60's.

With the comments made about the movies being shown from the cast being made to watch the shows it was darn funny.

Some movies might be so bad that people on this board probably had the sense not to see them in the first place, 'Gigli' and 'Its Pat' comes to mind.

Not that these movies are the worst, but ones i had high expectations of especially seeing the previews and then painstakingly watching them were Van Helsing and Hellboy.
