Top 10 Worst Movies of All Time

"The Osterman Weekend" (1983).

Just be glad you never heard of it. A total waste of 2 hours of my life.

Rutger Hauer. Very disappointed as the movie came out way back when I was very much into reading Robert Ludlum, who wrote the book this movie was based on. Unfortunately his books have rarely been successfully captured on screen, until the reboot of the Bourne series, but then again they tossed out most of the story to update it anyhow.

I like Ludlum too, and I thought the book was good, but it seemed as if the producers for the movie tore all the pages out of the book, picked up half of them in random order, and then put them together for the movie plot. Very disjointed, with huge plot holes and bad acting to boot. Unwatchable

Jobs. My DBF and I are big Apple fans, and both read the Steve Jobs biography. We still get sad thinking about his death. But this movie was awful. I do not enjoy Ashton Kutcher as an actor or entertainer and even despite that his "performance" as Jobs was terrible. We stopped it after 20 minutes.

Shutter Island. Another one I couldn't get through. The acting wasn't the problem, but I hated the plot and turned it off after 45 minutes.

Lucy. We saw this 2 weeks ago and what a mistake. From the trailers it looked like a movie with good potential but it was so dumb even Morgan Freeman couldn't redeem it.

Also, a majority of any Sylvester Stallone movies. Anyone recall "Stop, or my Mom will Shoot!" or "Rhinestone". Or Rocky II-IX?

I have an idea that this list could go on for a long time.

Sad to say, it was actually better than the Sci-Fi channels reboot and attempt at an original series, now that was bad.

Here is a few more that popped into my head that were truly terrible.

George Lucas' "Howard the Duck"
Ishtar
Leonard Part 6 (Bill Cosby)
Batman & Robin (Clooney & Arnold stinker)
Battlefield Earth (John Travolta)
Lost in Space
The Avengers
Superman IV

Oh yeah, and pretty much any movie that Adam Sandler is in.

Yeah, my son is 22 now and I still haven't forgotten the how tedious and inane that movie was. The guy next to me (a stranger) got up to get his kids snacks every ten minutes. He was smart--I made the mistake of getting Jake his popcorn, soda and Milk Duds before the movie started, so I had no excuses. ;)

We once went to a Meryl Streep movie based on a positive review in the Boston Globe - anyone remember "Death Becomes Her"? Certainly not my cup of tea!

Agreed...terrible movie. Not a Streep fan to begin with but that movie was so bad.

:( The Wedding Singer is one of my favorite movies...but thinking about the rest of them, I do agree that they aren't that good.

Oh and I would like to add Man of Steel, the next Superman reboot that came out last year. I love Amy Adams, hated the movie!

2012 and I love over the top SiFi, but 3 plane escapes and those boats at the end. Dune, love the books wish this movie had never been made.

The movie improves a bit if you can catch the director's/extended cut. The theatrical release chopped a lot out of it. It was really too big a book to try get into a movie. The casting of and portrayal of the Harkonen's was really bad. I remember (after reading all the books at that time) that when I saw it in the theater that they handed out a "terms" glossary.

In 2000 and 2003 they did a miniseries. I think they combined Dune - Dune Messiah into one series, then Children of Dune into another. Give them a try, as I recall they do better justice to the books.

As an aside, if you haven't read them, give the new Dune series (By Herbert's son and a co-writer) a shot, they are very well done and carry on the tradition quite well.

I tried watching the series when it first came on, but couldn't get past the first episode. However I may give them another try. As for the books by his son believe I read 8 of them don't know if there are any more. I have gotten away from reading in the last few years, something I intend to remedy soon. Gonna get reading glasses. :old::D

Borat and Pulp Fiction
