I propose this thread exist as a repository for bad films that need not be discussed except as a warning to others to avoid the waste of one's life watching them to their conclusion would entail. Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose a certain amount of debate will occur.
Let me get this one rolling:
Angel Crest (2011) - don't be fooled by Jeremy Piven this is a bad movie

Don't Bother
The catholic church is the largest pro-pedophillia group in the world, and every member of it is guilty of supporting the rape of children, the ensuing protection of the rapists, and the continuing suffering of the victims.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

That I've seen recently:
The Descendants (see thread below)
The Future. God, why did I watch this? I knew it was going to be pretentious hipster crap, but I kept thinking it would get better. There were a few faint gleams telling me that a story might eventually develop out of the quirky oddness of it. No. It just got worse. And to make it worse...
Seriously, just forget that's a spoiler and look at it. You really don't want to see this movie, and you can't spoil crap.

Yeah, I enjoyed The Number 23, too. 
300 was crap. After reading Gates of Fire, that movie was just a joke. I stopped watching when the lobster guy showed up.
I don't have anything new to add. I already started a thread for In Time, which was the latest waste of time I've seen.

Angel's Crest is another movie that appears to be decent until the end. Yet the ending turns the entire experience to shit. Pretty much like the other movies mentioned. There is a special place in hell for the hacks that produce this drivel. At least overtly bad movies don't waste your time and emotion sympathizing with the characters.

Any 'chick flick', anything with Jenniner Aniston in it (unless she decides to up her career and goes into - no forget that!), and anything with 'rom-com' or 'A cross between Bourne and........' in it's blurb.

I know there's a lot of rom-com shlock out there, but you know the problem with dismissing an entire genre? Did you like any of the following romantic comedies?Cail wrote:Yep, pretty much any rom-com.peter wrote:Any 'chick flick', anything with Jenniner Aniston in it (unless she decides to up her career and goes into - no forget that!), and anything with 'rom-com' or 'A cross between Bourne and........' in it's blurb.
(Some are romance-comedy-drama, but still, you might miss 'em with a dismiss-by-genre approach.) And there's plenty you could think of that I've missed:
Lost in Translation
Stranger Than Fiction
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Juno
Shaun of the Dead
Secretary
Chasing Amy
Punch Drunk Love
Lars & The Real Girl
Sideways
WALL-E
As Good As It Gets
Secretary
Grosse Pointe Blank
Ghost World
Neither Shaun of the Dead nor Grosse Pointe Blank were rom-coms, but yeah, everything else on that list was various degrees of suck.Shaun das Schaf wrote:I know there's a lot of rom-com shlock out there, but you know the problem with dismissing an entire genre?

And yes, I hated Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Shaun of the Dead's tagline was, "a romantic comedy with zombies", and I'm not saying I liked all of the listed movies, just that open-mindedness has its rewards sometimes.
Although in your case, if all of those movies 'sucked to some degree', than the blanket categorization works a treat! Carry on.
