Movies you wish never existed

Some of my friends and I have a running debate over whether Dungeons and Dragons or Wing Commander is worse. I’ve had the misfortune to slog through horrible D&D games that were still better than the movie version. As for Wing Commander, we sneaked in and we still want our money back.

What was that all about? I saw this on one of our movie channels last week and noticed this. He missed from 3 or 4 feet? This guy is supposed to be a bounty hunter. Ruined the film for me. Whats worse is that I never noticed this when I watched Special Edition when it first came out on video.

It also dulls Han Solo’s character. If Greedo shoots first, that pretty much absolves Han of all underhandedness. Bullpucky. Solo is savvy, he’s practical, and he’s a badass.

The bit where Han steps on Jabba’s tail pisses me off, too. This is Jabba the Freakin’ Hut! How can you appreciate the evilness of him in Jedi if he lets Han (literally) walk all over him?

Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

The title implies that the movie is true to the book, which it most certainly is not. I fear that this will discourage anyone for at least twenty years from making a Dracula movie which actually is faithful to the book. I would like to throttle Coppola for inflicting this travesty on the viewing public, and worse, for trying to blame it on Bram Stoker.

The definitive film adaptation of Dracula has yet to be made.

Meet the Feebles, and Dead Alive

They are British movies by the same director, and you have probably not seem them. You are very lucky. They are arguably the two worst movies ever made.

Ah, you just allow your hatred of zombies to blind you.

I agree with the “Special Edition” Star Wars nonsense. In hindsight, the “Greedo shooting first” bit should have been everyone’s cue to just how hopeless Lucas doing Episode 1 was going to be.

Spiceworld and The Pokemon Movie

WOW…
Ok,i can somewhat understand the hatred for Eraserhead, for it is sorta cryptica and a bit presumptious. But why such hatred for a beautifull movie like Blue Velvet?!

I wish **Mon on the Moon[/] had never been made. Not only was it two hours of heck to sit through but whenever I see footage of Andy Kaufman it reminds me of that movie. It was intensely and actively unpleasant.

Hear, hear! Robert Heinlein didn’t deserve having that mockery associated with his work.

And I’ll nominate Freddy Got Fingered. The world is a worse place for the existence of that horrid piece of crap.

I most wholeheartedly agree. Cheezy, feelgood, weepy family tv movies are the worst. The worst are all the movies about “saving the children”. How children got saved from the burning building, the junior high kids smoking dope, the molester on the playground, Marilyn Manson…

A movie on tv that I hoped was a parody and wasn’t was called “For the Children’s Sake”. Ugh. Turns my stomach just thinking about it.

They are directed and cowritten by Peter Jackson, who is from New Zealand, almost exactly on the other side of the planet from Britain. Both were filmed in New Zealand. I’ve seen both, and liked them both. IMDB polling was favorable to both. The humor is not for everyone, though.

Personally, I’ll second Highlander II and Starship Troopers.

Echoed, for the above reasons. Though I thought the movie stunk on it’s own lack of merits, too - thus preventing a real version of the book being made is why it’s on the list.

The Crow’s cheap sequals. This is one of my all time favorite movies and it should of stood alone.
Here’s a hint to all those Hollywood Producers, JUST BECAUSE A MOVIE DOES WELL DOESN"T MEAN IT NEEDS 300 SHITTY SEQUALS!!!

Coming to a theatre near you - The Bible II: Jesus Strikes Back

Who is now making the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

God I hate threads like these.

Ok so you hate these actors but do you really want Man on the Moon or Speed/The Matrix or My own Private Idaho/Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to not exist? :confused:

…or Stand By Me or Dogfight or Running On Empty or The River’s Edge or Dangerous Liaisons or The Truman Show or Peggy Sue Got Married?

Gotcha. So out go Requiem for a Dream, Beverly Hills Cop, Roxanne, Bamboozled, and Colors

…and almost nothing of value was lost!

BAMBOOZLED was achingly bad. Spike might want to take a class in subtle nuances.

I think it’s probably wrong to nominate a film you’ve never seen, but I feel obligated to nominate “Salo: 120 days of Sodom”, just from looking at the box.

I’m in a hurry because my cute little doggy visitor wants attention. But for what it’s worth (draws self to full 5’ 7"):

There is no such film as Highlander II.
