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

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...
They let the fucking cat die. And his girlfriend is just a slut
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.

I actually liked that one. Not enough to watch it a second time, mind you...
Of course, for a true waste of time, try
The Tree of Life

Knowing was actually pretty good until the last 15 minutes of the movie.
Then it turned into unmitigated dogshit.

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.

Yep, pretty much any rom-com.

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?
(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.
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.
