*Code Name: The Cleaner *
If I had any self respect at all, I should have turned off about 5 minutes in. But nope. I watched it all.
Cobra
The Twilight saga. I know they were popular. I didn’t read the books, my teen at the time did, and talked me into seeing the movies. Stupid!!
An old Disney Movie called Midnight Madness is a family favorite:
If has Barf who predates Butt-Head.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR5oEfecYmoI should have turned off Spiders 10 minutes in when the coroner said “Some insects, such as spiders…”, but, again, i hate myself. I deserve to watch the rest this mess.
I made it through 25 minutes of the new Ghostbusters. Why did they make that piece of shit? From the previews and word of mouth I should have known better.
About a dozen Lifetime channel made-for-TV movies.
Ah, but you allowed yourself to stop watching it. You must think your time has value.
Fair enough but why didn’t I stop sooner?
That reminds me. Would this thread include bad movies you watched because your SO made you and you decided to take the bullet for the sake of your relationship?
I think that qualifies. Abusive relationships are often due to self loathing.

[/QUOTE]I did turn it off, but mmph-teen years later I’m still wondering. So for the love of all that is holy, PLEASE tell me: What was the answer to the FAGABEEFE clue?
ETA: in answer to the OP “Jeepers Creepers” which my friends suckered me into by telling me it was “a Psychological Thriller, not really a horror movie.”
Even worse is seeing something of known awfulness.
I recently watched a fair chunk of Kinky Boots which I had already seen and knew I didn’t like. I know this isn’t unique. I am sure that I have watched again several whole movies that I thought were crap. I recall seeing American Sniper twice although I personally thought it was rubbish.
I’m the King of Bad Movie Watching, but I usually purge the memory and forget what they were.
A couple I do remember: Lolita. Unwatchable dreck. The Claim. So slow, I watched it in fast-forward and didn’t miss a thing. Hateful Eight. Simply awful.
I’m not sure I’m right, but I think they misinterpreted the clue at the piano store. Instead of playing the tune: “I got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind”, they write down the letters of the notes in the Jingle, thinking they’re scrambled.
Now I really enjoyed the Hateful Eight. What didn’t you like about it? Too violent? Too slow? Too Tarantino?
1962 or 1997?
I liked it too, mostly. But I totally understand why some people hate it. 3 hrs of build up with very little payoff.
Two movies with Donald Sutherland in them that I got stuck watching because friends invited me to:
Gas (1981) – an abysmal “comedy”. Donald Sutherland plays a helicopter pilot/traffic reporter who, significantly, shares no scenes with anyone else in the film. It looks as if they shot all his scenes on one day after the movie was finished, so they could put a Big Name on the poster.
The Trouble with Spies (1987). Actually, they shot it in 1984, but it sat on the shelf for three years, which should tell you something. There are actually some big names in this, including Ruth Gordon (it’s one of her last films), but it’s still awful.
The problem is, I’ve learned, that Donald Sutherland will appear in damned near anything if you give him enough money. He’s a spectacularly good actor, but you shouldn’t take his presence as an indication that a movie is any good.
Made no sense. Just a stupid movie as an excuse to vomit blood and drop the N-bomb.
- Peter Sellers should have been reprimanded for that.
