The world's worst movies

I don't see a thread here...
I'm not a huge movie fan, but I have seen some awful ones. I'd be interested in your views on

For me, I have to ask why Jodie Foster got herself involved in this pile of crap? The plot is terrible, so full of holes you could indeed fly a 747 through it, and any sense of drama or tension is just completely destroyed by an ending which must surely qualify as the worst in any movie. Ever.

Anyone else see this? Agree, disagree?

I saw it when I was about 13 and enjoyed it. However, as with many things I liked at 13, it probably wouldn't stand up to my more discerning tastes now.

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

GIGLI

I heard so much about Gigli before I seen the move - all of it negative - that it sorta piqued my curiosity about it. There are a couple of scenes in the movie that make my skin crawl. I thought dialogue the writers gave to a character who is mentally challenged and the situations they put him in were just wrong. It stars Jennifer Lopez, & Ben Affleck, and has Christopher Walkins & Al Pacino as minor characters. And it's the movie that launched Bennifer couple.

Wanderlust is the worst movie I've seen this year. I expected a bunch of laughs considering it was a David Wain movie (Wet Hot American Summer) but all I got was boredom and ONE good laugh. That laugh was just because Paul Rudd is a funny person.

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.

From what remember, Jodie Foster's character wasn't just some passenger, she was the person who designed the plane.

It's a movie about a conspiracy onboard an airplane. The title is a play on words.

Doesn't mean she was free to wander around anywhere she liked when the plane was in flight!!

I saw that a few years ago and liked it well enough. It wasn't the best or most memorable movie I've ever seen but I thought it was fairly enjoyable.

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.

Bad movies normally start with bad ideas. One of the worst is this.
