These threads really need to be called what they are (or turn out to be):
MOVIES YOU THINK SUCK BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LIKE THEM
I mean, really... Worst movies ever?
--Avatar
--M&C: Far Side Of The World
--District 9
--High Plains Drifter
--Gone With The Wind
What's next? Casablanca and the Maltese Falcon?
I hated District 9. Zero aesthestic value for me. I GAVE it away to a friend.
Yet the script remains a masterfully crafted allegory, the lead character/actor provides for a refreshingly unique role, and the production design (weapons in particular) was pretty damn cool
Avatar?
So yeah, the story is typically Jim Cameron Light (shallow), and a pure rehash of the Pocahantas / Dances With Wolves story. But can you call the top grossing movie of all time the worst ever (OK just stop now - I know dollars do not automatically equate to quality)?
M&C: Far Side...
Yeah, its second act is as painfully long as its title. But you WILL NOT find a more finely crafted film, particularly of this genre. The visual, physical, and historical detail is superb. The casting (particularly the secondary charaters) is spot on. The sound design is reference quality. I could go on...
A protracted and slow second act does not a 'worst movie ever" make.
Gone With The freakin' Wind...? Hated it... Have the deluxe set on Blu-ray and dread that I need/should go in and watch it again.
But how can you even begin to consider an all-time classic a "worst ever"? I really don't think it would hold its place in film history if it was one of the worst ever.
High Plains Drifter. Hmmm... I suppose if you don't get - or don't like - the supernatural suggestion, it may not be for you. And its an Eastwood western, so it is what it is. But some have said it provided a venue for Clint to refine and master his iconic "strong silent" demeanor, taking his man-with-no-name character to the next level.
Hard to say. Make your own call. Not as gobsmacking as some of the other entries here, but not a "worst".
Now that I've purged, and possibly (likely?) wrankled some folks, go back to the beginning this post. Anyone and everyone can not like a film. That's totally OK.
But a lesson I've learned in life is to appreciate quality, talent and skill, even if the subject or content is contrary to my tastes...
