**Howard the Duck**. They should have named it _Howard the Turkey_ instead. ---

**Lifeforce** , directed by Tobe Hooper. Only movie I’ve ever walked out of. Made absolutely no sense. Sheri ---

Fear, w/Reese Witherspoon and one of the Wahlbergs. What made the movie worse (it’s about a boyfriend/stalker guy) is that I saw it on a FIRST DATE! She picked it and I sat there the whole time thinking, “My god, is she actually enjoying this?!?” Very bad first date movie. Not a good way to impress. ---

She picked it and I sat there the whole time thinking, “My god, is she actually enjoying this?!?” Reminds me of the time I went on a lunch-date with a woman who worked in the same building I did, and afterward she took me into her car and showed off her car stereo – by playing the song “Date Rape”! :eek: ---

I liked it 😉 Not naming any names but Traffic and Pulp Fiction have no place in a thread about the worst movies ever made. How about: Batman 4 Escape from L.A. Glen or Glenda etc. etc. etc. For the real mccoys try [http://www.aaronmccray.com/entertainment/ator.html](http://www.aaronmccray.com/entertainment/ator.html) ---

I’m with you on the later Rocky movies, though. After the second film, they just get worse and worse. And I’m with **tracer** in being shocked at your inclusion of Pulp Fiction. ---

**The Magus**. In an interview Peter Sellers was asked what he would change if he could relive his life. He replied, “I wouldn’t see **The Magus**.” Not a real applicant, but I liked the Sydney Morning Herald’s potted review: “ **Blow** sucks.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rysdad \* > **The Color Purple** > > Whoopi and Oprah. 'Nuff said. Wow. I’m not sure I can disagree with that sentiment enough. Worst movie ever? _Cutthroat Island_. It starred Geena Davis as a very buxom pirate. I listed it on the “Worst Comedy Movie” thread as well, and my choice still stands. ---

**Ishtar**. I saw it in the theater _before_ the bad reviews started a pile-on. (Just the same, I feel obligated to add that I didn’t pick it.) ---

IMHO. “Seven” You would think a movie with that cast would be good. One of the most overwrought, overrated, indulgent films of the '90’s. ---

How can we have a thread about worst movies and no one mention Pamela Anderson’s _Barb Wire_ or Anna Nicole Smith’s _To the Limit_ and _Skyscraper_? Or maybe no one mentions them because no one actually saw them.
