Yeah, at least Halloween 6 had some unintended laughs.

Said it before and I'll say it again(but please don't tell my reenactor friends who were in the movie)Gods And Generals. And I also paid for the second X-Files movie, which sucked. Ah yes, reenactors and movies. A bad combination. I would say "No Greater Glory" was the single worst reenactor movie I have ever seen, but it doesn't qualify. It never got released to be shown on PBS and this radioactive turd of a film would never get released in a commercial theater. I've been in my share of bad reenacator films. "North and South" is one. But being in the same picture with The Swayze is big JuJu and maybe qualifies me for some sort of Patrick Swayze Christmas forever thing, maybe! OK. The last reenactment picture I was in was "Follow the River" a made for TV movie and my Swan Song for doing reenactor movies ever again! I called it "Pee in the River." It was a cheap "Last of the Mohican's" rip off. Oh, damn. All these were TV movies. They don't qualify. I spammed my own thread!

The original Underworld. It's not like we went in expecting Hamlet but Jesus, does Kate Beckinsale EVER move her face? What a sourpuss! Not to mention the "Dark and More Dark" lighting and color palette.

Not to mention being forced to watch commercials.

I'm a little surprised at some of the movies that have made people's lists. Then again, that's the beauty of movies. There is always something for everyone.
There are very few movies I actually regret seeing. Somehow, even if I know they are awful, I find something amusing about them. And sometimes end up buying the DVD's to re-watch.
Cases in point:
The Ninth Gate (awful movie, I know - but I bought the DVD for $5 and when I watch it stoned, it's a masterpiece).
Eye of the Beholder (the irony of the ending is so amusing to me...plus Ashley Judd is HOT).
Newsies (Saw it when I was 13. Favorite movie until I entered high school. Christian Bale at his hottest...and a little side note - I don't care that he acted like a jerk on the most recent piece of audio that's made the news. That man is so inhumanly hot that he could do whatever he wanted and I'd still take a bite of that. Er, if I was single, that is).
The only movie I absolutely HATED and considered walking out of was the bloated piece of Oliver Stone crap called Natural Born Killers. Vomit inducing. I don't care that they were trying to be artsy and edgy. It was lame.

The re-make of Prom Night was totally worthless.

Junior (Arnie as pregnant man, NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!), Beethoven's 2nd and any number of bad mid to late 90's horror guff, although we all went to see those drunk so they were actually really entertaining.

God where to begin... Battlefield Earth, The Cell, Unbreakable, Hardware, Color of Night, On Deadly Ground, The Avengers, Halloween 6, the list is too painful to recount. Unbreakable is a good movie and certainly M. Night's best. ....IMO

It's hard for me to make friends Imagine how hard it would be to make friends if you owned Highlander: The Source. At least you're redemed by owning a movie with Connery in it, but that would be unexcusable.

I too saw Highlander 2 in the theater. It was plenty bad but it had some unintentional looniness to it. I've never been able to get into the whole Highlander thing though. I mean they say they're "immortal" but they can be killed by being decapitated. That doesn't sound very immortal to me.
Sorry folks, but Unbreakable was Unwatchable. It made Mercury Rising look like Die Hard. Everybody whispered in that movie so you couldn't understand half the dialogue. The scene where the kid grabbed the gun was just wrong. Seriously, what kind of superhero needs a PONCHO!
Some other cinematic turdburgers I sat through... Across the Universe (John Lennon is breakdancing in his grave after that abortion), The Pest (Shoulda ended John Leguizamo's career), The Fog remake (It's sad when Selma Blair is the best actor in your movie), and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (If I wanted to watch The Hidden, I'd watch The Hidden, but dammit; I paid to see a Friday the 13th movie!).
