Movies You Would Rather Vomit On Than Watch Twice

Just the commercials for Daddy Day Camp make me want to throw up.

What is with Cuba Gooding Jr., anyway. The dude hams it up, wins an oscar, and then figures he'll take it down a notch or seven in terms of material?


Why even consider making a crappy sequel to a silly film that the orginial star passed on? Does he have the Robin Williams disease?

Maybe As Good As It Gets was as good as it got for him.
 
Definitely off the bat, would have to be The Village. Nothing tops that simply because of the anticipation.

The Matrix Revolutions Horrible way to end a saga. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Matthew McConaughey remake, Pluto Nash, Soul Plane (The worst Black Movie Ever), The Ringer, Alexander, Joe Dirt, Joe's Apartment, Can't think of any more right now.
 
Worked with an art director on 'Lost,' who worked on 'The Village.' To hear him tell it, nobody had any idea what movie they were making, while they were making it...
 
Hey Gary,
you really hated Boondock Saints. I myself haven't watched it, but I saw the documentary about the guy who sold the script to miramax and that whole ordeal. I heard from someone that it was a good movie and that it should have gotten picked up by a distributor. (but as the documentary shows, it was black listed by the Weinstein guy at Miramax)
Any others have an opinion on this flic.

Interesting. I enjoyed The VIllage very much. Certainly no vomiting there. Excelent performances from the two main leads.

As for Cuba Gooding... Its a shame. I think he's one of the most talented actors in Hollywood today. Seems like he did something people didn't like inside the industry. His lack of decent roles don't make much sense.
 
AI - Ok I could sit through this again but it was in my opinion one of Spielberg's worst.
New Police Story - this was just lame.


EDIT:

Ok Dr. Strange love's not that bad.

Dr. Strangelove - I did not find it funny and it just struck a wrong cord with me for some reason.

Wow.

These threads always hold a few surprises for me.
I actually think that is one of George C. Scott's best performances.

But - different strokes... (not the tv show)

lol, no doubt it was a well made film but I just found most of the moments that should have been humorous missed there mark maybe I was expecting more. Granted there are definitely a few funny parts. Peter Sellers going on rants as Strangelove, but overall I just thought it would be funnier and deeper.

Ok so maybe I would rather see it again then throw up I was just a bit disappointed.
 
The thing about these kinds of threads that always amazes me is how many people's "worsts" are movies I think (and many big crirics agree) were really excellent, or at least very enjoyable. From various posts in this thread, that list would include, for me:

Sin City
Boogie Nights
Titanic
Terms Of Endearment
Kill Bill Vol I
2001
Dr. Strangeleove
Citizen Kane
Robocop
The Lost Boys
Shakespeare In Love
Batman Begins
Meet The Parents
Meet The Fokkers
The Pianist
Star Wars II, III
Gangs Of New York
Batman I
The Last Samurai

As for my list of a few movies that do fit the thread title:

Troy
Alexander
Basic Instinct II
Ace Ventura I, II
Lady in The Water
The Village
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
The Cable Guy
Hook
AI

And too many others, the titles of which I thankfully can't recall, that I rented and stopped about 15 minutes in, because I would have jumped out the window (yes, I live in a tall building) if forced to continue...

Of course!

But seriously, as DeSica's fascinating list of presumably awful movies I've never even heard of attests to, there's some fascination in watching movies that are especially bad.

I've made something of a practice recently of watching bad movies all the way through (as long as they're not utterly offensive or catastrophically sleep-inducing), to get a sense of what they did wrong, how they did it, what could explain it, and ultimately, to try to learn how *not* to allow that to happen in my own filmmaking efforts.

The high-budget star-loaded ones are definitely the most fascinating and educational ones where that's concened. "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" is a perfect example. So was "The Stepford Wives"- a big-buck, star-packed, name-director train wreck of epic proportions.
 
Shaun of the Dead won't make the list, but I thought Kingpin sucked.
Is humour in the bone of the beholder?
