What are the worst movies you have seen from the year 2000 till 2009?

Rule-proving exception, my favorite Boris.

Movies that I rated "F":

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Mr. Deeds (2002)
The New Guy (2002)
View from the Top (2003)
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003) (looking back, probably merits more a D or D-)
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
The House of the Dead (2003)
Crash (2005)

I'd like to think that I got a bit more selective about movie-watching around 2003. Some of these movies were watched because they were free, whether due to a free college showing (Crash) or due to my working at a rental place (Mr. Deeds, for example).

Older movies I've seen in the past decade that have blown include:

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)
Caligula (1979)
Stranger Than Paradise (1984)
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)

Which Crash is that? The do-goody version, or the semi-porno? I'm guessing from the date that it's the all-inclusive racially harmonious junk, but hey.

[Elok]

That's good, but GI Joe is just a mindless action movie, not a paradigm-breaking philosophical masterpiece like James Cameron's Avatar.

That's a good one!

I keep hearing people say there was another Crash. Did that one suck less than the one with Matt Dillon, the dude who played Rhodey in the first Iron Man and a bunch of other people I don't remember? Because that one had a high suck content. Lost in Translation is one of those weird, plotless movies that you feel compelled to say you like because all the critics raved about it and you fear you'll be branded a neanderthal if you don't give it five thumbs up. But really...eh. You don't hate it, you just sort of scratch your head and forget about it. I would feel the same about Sideways, only the two main characters were both annoying jerkoffs and they made me see a fat chick in coitus.

[DaShi]

Yes, I hated Sideways, despite being drunk on wine at the time of watching it.

You'd be correct. Horrible.

People are mentioning Sideways? Really? It's not good, but it's not terrible. I mean, it at least has some interesting stuff going on.

[OzzyKP]

Crash (2005)
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)

Good movies.

[Carolus Rex]

Sideways? Wow, that was harsh! It's pretty good IMHO.

I also think mentioning Crash in this thread is a bit of a stretch.

[Elok]

I only said Sideways was bad, not terrible in the way 300 was. Crash, however, was utterly abysmal. Smarmy Hollywood-liberal vomit.

We're past the truly bad movies and are now just listing flics we didn't personally like.

[rah]

agreed. Many considered It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) a classic comedy.
(myself included)

[Guynemer]

IMPOSSIBLE!

I've only seen the trailers (there's like 5 of them for some reason) but this is clearly the greatest movie ever!




I haven't seen it but judging from the trailers, that has to be one of the greatest movies of all time

Was hilarious and awesome, you surely meant to say.

Just saw it, and... oh my god, what a ****ing awesome movie. Hardest I've laughed in ages.

"Girls, hush. You'll wake up all the other *****es."

I just looked it up on Rottentomatoes and was led to this review.

Note the part that led me there:

The women are also dressed in period threads, and many have big Afros. I am happy to say it brings back an element sadly missing in recent movies, gratuitous nudity. Sexy women would "happen" to be topless in the 1970s movies for no better reason than that everyone agreed, including themselves, that their breasts were a genuine pleasure to regard -- the most beautiful naturally occurring shapes in nature, I believe. Now we see breasts only in serious films, for expressing reasons. There's been such a comeback for the strategically positioned bed sheet, you'd think we were back in the 1950s.

That quote, juxtaposed with a picture of Roger Ebert's face, is just mind-blowing.

[Al B. Sure!]

Have you seen or heard of Roger Ebert's films, Elok?

He worked with this man...



Russ Meyer.

Here's Ebert's films... the promo posters say it all, don't they?

Despite an X rating and a modest budget of $900,000, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls grossed ten times that amount in the U.S. market, qualifying it as a hit for Fox. It has since grossed more than $40 million from theatrical revivals and video sales, according to Roger Ebert.

Isn't it, though?

He left off the best character name in the whole movie when he listed some of his favorites, though: a cowboy-hat wearing pimp (played by Cedric Yarbrough of Reno 911! fame) named Chocolate Giddy-Up.
