Weekend at Bernies gets my vote. Both of them.
Austen Powers.
Absolutely retarded, juvenile drivel and people think Meyers is a genius.
Give me a F***ing break.
xmen…
“do you know what happens to frogs when they are hit by lightning… the same as everything else”
Well, pretty much everything that’s been a hit this year.
I’ll probably get flamed for this, but I really don’t like the message that comes across in “Pretty woman.”
Dumb and Dumber. The name says it all.
Dances With Wolves
Forrest Gump
Titanic
To some extent, all three of those might have been “okay” movies, but were all widely treated like they were the greatest thing since celluloid, so that the reality/hype ratio is low enough to make them equivalent to just plain “awful”.
Blair Witch Project, hands down.
Also, Dances with Wolves.
Romeo Must Die. Can’t believe I handed over almost four bucks to Blockbuster to rent that POS. Dialogue? Plot? Believable acting? Nah.
Was Showgirls successful?
Don’t flame me–I remember the threads about this movie last year, but I’m following MEBuckner’s logic here–American Beauty. Very hyped, very overrated.
Armageddon & Deep_Impact (Two movies with nearly the same plot, horribly lame acting and over-hyped special effects.)
Jurassic Park 2 (Eh, the first one wasn’t bad, the second one was terrible.)
…
Forrest Gump
E.T.
Feel free to flame, I don’t care.
(Showgirls was a major flop.)
Liar Liar
Alien
The Phantom Menace
The Lion King
What the hell was up with that Mary shit? That movie was SO hyped. Everywhere I went, someone was telling me how great it was and how they couldn’t believe I still had the will to go on living despite the fact that I hadn’t seen it yet.
Well my husband and a friend and I all rented it one night …
and it sucked SO bad.
The worst/funniest part of the story was that each of us was too stunned/embarrased to say that they didn’t like it until halfway through, because we were so sure the other 2 were enjoying it as much as all the other crack monkies.
The epitome of “awful but successful movies”: Titanic. Awful!!
Did I mention that it was awful?
Will … not … become … violent.
Will … not … become … violent.
I’d say just about anything billed as a “Summer Blockbuster” will be successful and awful.
HEAR, HEAR!
I’m sorry, but I just didn’t get it. Everyone was talking about how it was the funniest thing since the invention of jokes, and I thought it was about as funny as a kick in the nuts.
Mrs. RickJay and I rented “There’s Something About Mary,” eagerly anticipating big yuks. Fifteen minutes in I started getting concerned that we hadn’t laughed yet. After thirty minutes we gave up.
I felt bad about paying $4 to rent a movie and not watch it so we tried to get through it the following night. After twenty minutes Mrs. RickJay says, “Isn’t The Simpsons on now?”
The next night I managed to sweat through the rest of it. Mrs. RickJay could not be convinced to watch.
I didn’t laugh at that stupid movie once.
Another movie that at one point was widely considered to be the worst box office hit was Eddie Murphy’s The Golden Child.
Matrix
Now, I don’t agree with some of these, but I know you won’t like my list, so it all works out 
Titanic (of course, some parts were good, but only about 8%)
Hollow Man, if it was succesful. It was bizarre.
Phantom Menace, again like Titanic. The original trilogy at least was consistent (check MIPSIMS starwars threads)
That’s all I can think of now.
