When they start out with the premise of being idiotic, and they hit it right on the nose, they are just crappy movies. The WORST "films" are the ones with pretensions of greatness, where they are aiming for great pathos and stumble over their shoelaces. I hate the ones with great casts that go absolutely NOWHERE. Did anyone see "Falling in Love"? DeNiro and Streep. Can't miss, right? They had exactly zero chemistry. Shouldn't people who are having a torrid affair look like they care? It would have worked better if they had hated each other's guts. Shoulda ben called "Falling Asleep."

Gotta mention that college favorite, Luis Bunuel's surrealistic short "Un Chien Andalou." Not just because it's plotless and non-sensical, but also because it has the pretense to consider itself high art.

Well Buñuel did make some of the greatest movies of all time:

Los Olvidados
Belle Du Jour
Diary Of A Chambermaid

Only two movies I couldn't get drunk enough to sit through again: "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" and "Napolean Dynamite". The fact that Jon Heder was one of the headliners in "Benchwarmers" was more than enough to keep it off my list. Are my theatric tastes too lofty??

Actually, we have. But I agree that it can't be stressed enough.

The description I heard about Catwoman is, "the movie that even Halle Berry in a catsuit couldn't save".

A friend came to stay a couple of nights with his 13 year old son. He brought "Jackass the Movie" with him.

That was the most tasteless thing that I have seen. It says volumes about a generation that could think it funny.

I would have told you that you couldn't pay me to watch people vomiting and shitting in a movie, but I watched it and didn't get paid.

I am as embarissed for me as I was for the 13 year old.

Speaking of tasteless, has anyone seen those "Faces of Death" movies? Supposedly film clips of people/animals dying in various gruesome ways? Are these scenes real/faked/some of both? I've only heard about them, but they sound pretty revolting.

"Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS" 1974
..I booked it into a college theater during my brief career as a motion picture theater film booker. This movie helps explain why that career was SO brief. Soft-core S/M movie filmed on the set of "Hogan's Heros".





"The Gospel" 2005
...my wife brought it home for all the Gospel musicians involved. Simply an embarassing film. Every shot must have been a take.

A most horrid and dreadful film....

1980's Forbidden Zone with Herve Villechaize. I caught some of it the other night on cable. What a silly movie. So utterly ridiculous I didn't know whether to laugh or take it seriously.

Frank Zappa meets Alice In Wonderland.

Here's a quote from All Movie Guide.

Quote:
Oingo Boingo fans and midnight movie mavens will love this bizarre black-and-white feature packed with music, madness, and members of the Elfman clan. The story revolves around the Hercules family, who live in a house that just happens to hide a secret entrance to the Sixth Dimension in the basement. When daughter Frenchy (Marie-Pascale Elfman) skips school one afternoon, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to the forbidden door, and winds up a prisoner in this alternate world. King Fausto (Herve Villechaize), the diminutive leader of the Sixth Dimension, is enamored with the beautiful young Frenchy and keeps her in the same cell as his favorite concubines, despite the disapproval of Queen Doris (Susan Tyrrell). Frenchy's brother, Flash (Phil Gordon), follows her into the Forbidden Zone with Gramps (Hyman Diamond) in tow, intending to save her, but they too are captured and must call school chum Squeezit (Toshiro Baloney, aka Matthew Bright) for help. Squeezit tries to assist, but ends up captured and decapitated by Satan (Danny Elfman), though this development doesn't keep his disembodied noggin from flying about and informing King Fausto that the Queen is planning to dispose of his beloved Frenchy. The appearance of the King's first wife and the kidnapping of his topless daughter further confuse matters, but everything is wrapped up neatly with an elaborate song and dance number at the conclusion. ~ Fred Beldin, All Movie Guide

I've seen part of one I think. Used to be a popular thing with the invincible teenager crowd if you know what I mean. Now its all on the internet, yay. As far as I know those scenes were real.
