What were some of the plot holes? Jog my memory.

Oh dear, you've got me going now!

Well let's see. There's
a) the fact that a hospital backed up the claims about her husband being in an accident or something (can't recall what exactly), when they had no connection to the terrorist at all.

b) the fact that no-one remembered Jodie's daughter being on the plane, despite everyone seeing her boarding and the fact that she was hardly quiet

c) the fact that they were both able to just wander around in the plane, wherever they wanted, ending up, if I recall, somewhere near the undercarriage or in the cargo hold?

d) god I can't remember more. It was such a terribly badly-written movie it kind of refuses to come out of the dark corners of my mind, cowering there, afraid to be seen. To slightly paraphrase Krusty: I could have pulled a better plotline out of my ahhhh hey there kids!

Oh yeah, and why was it called "Flightplan"? Other than the fact that every aircraft has to file one, there was no reference to it, it had no significance at all.

Without question, one of the very worst movies I have ever seen (and I saw Jurassic Park III!), and a total waste of whatever it was, 2 hours or whatever. The only consolation is that I didn't have to pay to see it, as it was on TV, otherwise I would have definitely considered demanding a refund.

And to answer the other question, the thread is meant to be about movies that are so bad they're bad, not ones that are so bad they're good. I hated this movie, and pitied Jodie for ending up attached to it.

So bad it's good! Particularly for the scene where he fights the bear and throws it into outer space.

Edit: Which, of course, is on YouTube:

Also, I like to add that I actually saw this movie in the theater.

There are tons of movies that fall into the "so bad it's good" category for me so I can't include those. If we're talking about just straight-up bad movies, I think my absolute worst one would be Xanadu. That was absolute torture to sit through. I don't remember where or why I watched it, but it did happen for some reason.

I couldn't fathom why anyone from the screen writer to director to the movie execs think "hey this is ok to put on film!"

Do you mean Plan 9 from Outer Space?

^ Yeah, by Ed Wood. Considered the worst movie ever! And for my worst movie, I'll say 'The Tourist'- The Tourist (2010) - IMDb

Really the worst movie I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot.

I worked at a cinema and have seen lots of complete bombs, but I think this definitely qualifies is the worst movie I've ever seen...

Beware: Children at Play (1989) - IMDb

It's about some guy camping in the woods and his son becomes a cannibal.

I could film better s hit than this in my own backyard.

I didn't think it was that bad either.

Does Dirty Dancing count? because that is just a crock of **** AND I watched it objectively but it was still awful.

This is truly atrocious:

A student of Dr Banner comes across the Hammer of Thor and can summon him at will. Even for a TV movie and a nostalgic love of The Hulk T.V series as a kid cannot hide this from even my generous love of crap movies.

There are lots of films such as Horror Hospital, Psychomania and 2019 : After the Fall of New York that I love that could be put in here though. It's all swings and roundabouts.

Another film by Ed Wood was Glen or Glenda that is chalked up as one of the worst. I thought the movie "Ed Wood" with the Johnny Depp made up for them being so bad.

Freddy Got Fingered.

I couldn't watch it through, some scenes were simply too horrible.

I thought Freddy Got Fingered was one of the worst movies to ever exist. I don't give a f*ck about how many catch-phrases it may have contained. There is absolutely nothing to be gained from that movie but a general feeling of having wasted time uncomfortably.

Paedantic Basterd · 11-17-2012, 01:37 AM

I think this is my number one.
