The worst films you have ever seen

Films that traumatised me because I'd never seen such horrors before:
The Exorcist (the most traumatising)
Clockwork Orange (the violence)
Catch 22 (the guts spilling out)

Then there are many, many films I never actually watched because I knew I'd absolutely hate them, so they can't count as ones I sat through.
Shrek (and anything like that)
Jim Carey (can't stand silly faces)
Too many to name

On the whole, I carefully check out a film before going as I never want to be forced to sit through something I hate. I did half sit through The Greatest Showman at home because my granddaughter adores it. I fast forwarded most of it but got the gist. I absolutely hated it. All so fake. And it was really hard trying to hide my feelings when she asked whether I liked it. 😧

On the other hand I didn't expect to like Mama Mia but I loved it

I didn't like Mamma Mia at all but had to watch it yet again when I was looking after an unwell DGC.

Australia with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. We weren’t sure if it was a comedy. (I love Tarantino films. Pulp Fiction is my favourite film ever.)

I tried to watch Australia on a plane going to Australia but found it hard work watching on that tiny screen. It seemed quite boring although Hugh Jackman is always very watchable!
Perhaps I should have another try.

Barbarella - still traumatized but never laughed so much in my life

Absolutely! I saw it in the 1960s and thought it was cool. Watched it with my daughter a year or so ago and we laughed our socks off. It was so funny. 😂

As a teenager I remember sitting through some mind numbing westerns and spy films because they were the current boyfriends choice. I haven't seen too many dreadful ones since then, in fact I haven't been to a cinema for ages. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon stands out in my mind as particularly bad and I wasn't very impressed by Titanic.On the other hand I didn't expect to like Mama Mia but I loved it, and I hadn't been keen on seeing Philomena but I liked it so much I went out and bought the book.

Braveheart: Sir William Wallace must be spinning in his grave!

Australia with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. We weren’t sure if it was a comedy. (I love Tarantino films. Pulp Fiction is my favourite film ever.)

From memory it was a film of two halves: one half was good but the other half was awful. That’s all I can remember about it.

When DD2 was ill and in hospital for a long time, we were encouraged to take her out to do normal things. One evening, she wanted to go to the cinema. We saw Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. DH fell asleep and I just switched off - it was the worst film I’ve ever had the misfortune to sit through. I’m not keen on Jim Carey nor any of his films either.

Black Swan - so bad my friend and I had to go and have a restorative drink afterwards!

Moulin Rouge
Eyes Wide Shut
Any blood and guts stuff, so no Stallone/Rambo etc

But I'm another fan of The Bridges of Madison County.
I loved that 2 older actors could have such a love without steamy sex/nudity. The scenery/bridges were beautiful too, I got a wee book of photos of the bridges with poetry/quotes alongside each one.

Deer Hunter

Another two have just come to mind.
Nomadland was dire and depressing. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Unnecessarily violent.
(All in my opinion obviously).

Looking for Mr Goodbar It really upset me and gave me nightmares as did Clockwork Orange and Reservoir Dogs , neither of which I could watch until the end. Too violent for me!

Life of Brian is one of our family favourites , along with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

I hated Lost in Translation (pretentious and racist imho) and Taken (recommended to us by more than one person, but I couldn’t believe just how bad it was).

And Mamma Mia, though it may have improved after I switched it off 10 minutes in.

Sorry Meryl I have sat through it more than once. Awful 😞

Ghost 👻 Utterly ridiculous.

Also the poor woman's Truly Madly Deeply.

Grammaretto

The life of Brian.

I practically know that film word for word.
He’s not the Messiah, he’s a naughty boy 😂

La La Land
2001 A Space Odyssey
Les Miserables

Spring to mind.

The last 10 minutes if La La Land were actually very good. But not worth having to sit through the rest of it.

I saw Banshees of Innisherrin very recently.
It was sad but not bad. Sago
Super acting but I agree it wouldn't be attracting tourism!

The life of Brian.

Once again Meryl we're all different!

Ghost 👻 Utterly ridiculous.

Nothing is as bad as "Cats". Direst film ever.

I can’t decide between The way we were^😥 or ^Laurence of Arabia
You hated The bridges of Maddison county One of the saddest films I’ve seen, I loved it 🥰
