I never heard of ‘Midnight Madness’ ! It’s one of those ‘disappeared’ movies you might find collecting dust at the few video stores still around. Looking at that poster for it (on IMDB) proves my theory NO GOOD MOVIE has ever been made that has idiotic cartoon caricatures on the poster for it. ---

Oh, my pick(s) are any of the later Star War Movies that they show on cable TV all weekend long. I have the tv on as background noise and look up, appalled, at the cringe-y courtship scenes, the dumb child Anakin, and whoever it is, one of the heros, gallumphing around astride a CGI dinosaur-like steed. And they’re DULL. ---

The other night I was flipping through and stopped on Evolution. What a horrible movie. I watched till the end. ---

Mine is _Sling Blade_. I watched almost all of it twice. The film broke right before the end, so we watched the whole thing again to see the ending. I’m aware the people like the thing, but I hated it. Ergo… Mustard on my biscuits :smack: ---

The Paperboy. I was warned but didn’t believe it could be that bad. While watching, I texted my friend and admitted my mistake. I think there were also a lot of “Why is this happening? Why is any of this happening?” To which she responded, “I told you.” I’ll listen to her from now on. And I’ll never look at Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, or John Cusack the same again. Zac Efron is okay because the most humiliating thing he did in that movie was get urinated on. You really don’t need to see it for yourself. I promise. ---

I had managed to forget, I watched all of \*Pixels \*about a year ago. WtF is wrong with me? This was a terrible movie and somehow I didn’t turn it off. Adam Sandler, please just stop now. On a related note, I think I made through the entire piece of dreck known as _The Hot Chick_. Rob Schneider at his worst, at least I hope it was his worst. ---

Dragon Wars. I don’t know if anyone else saw this cow turd that came out ten years ago, but it was the first and only film my parents have walked out on. I can’t believe we stayed as long as we did, must of been the money my dad spent, because it was cringe worthy from the beginning. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > On a related note, I think I made through the entire piece of dreck known as _The Hot Chick_. Rob Schneider at his worst, at least I hope it was his worst. Nah. His worst was becoming an antivaxxer as a headline grab when his career was flagging. I used to think he was OK when he was on SNL-- not one of the greats, but he carried his weight. Now I despise him. ---

There used to be a movie on Netflix streaming called \*Nurse \*(also known as _Nurse 3D_) starring Paz de la Huerta. It’s little more than soft-core porn and ultra-violence. But damned if I didn’t watch it about five times. Always felt like I needed a shower afterwards. ---

It was a mainstay of 80s cable schedule-filler, and to be honest, I loved it when I was a teen. Yes, it was dumb, but it was fun dumb. That said, I probably wouldn’t sit through it now. \*Though Michael J Fox trying to play a juvenile delinquent was amusing. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > 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. Hey, I watched the new “Ghostbusters” (in the movie theater, even!) and I liked it! But, well, _de gustibus non est disputandum_… As to the OP, the movie I watched in its entirety and hate myself for doing so was “Urotsukidoji”, also known as “The Legend of the Overfiend”. I guess it was a combination of “train wreck effect”, of “no way they can make it more awful than it is”, of “wow, they managed to do so!” and pure pig-headedness (I decided that I would finish the damn thing, that I would not allow it to defeat me and force me to stop watching). Later I felt skeevy and dirty 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bad-movies-that-prove-you-hate-yourself-for-watching/803400.md?page=1)
