    Watched The Black Panther the other day, awful, absolutely awful. Sharknado is worth a watch just for simply being the most ridiculous idea for a film ever. Anything with Adam Sandler. Any horror film that lasts less than 90 mins is going to be bobbins. Blair Witch Project. Re make of the Italian job, some films should just be left alone and finally any film with more than 2 in the series.
    Apologies Ctulhu but I like The Greatest Showman as well

    No need for apologies. Different people have different tastes. I ask again why or what you liked about it though.

    It's a generational thing: one generation went to university and expected to live like "Animal House", the next wanted to be "The Young Ones".

    Sharknado does it on purpose though right? Its what makes the films watchable!

    Three headed shark attack I watched recently.

    One scene shows them desperately looking for dry land, depsite it being 30 metres in the background.

    Heard its not as good as 2 headed shark attack but better than 5 headed shark attack.

    Interesting that people appear to be interpreting the title as "films I don't like" instead of "films that are objectively bad".

    Gags' list is the only one containing films I'd agree are objectively terrible. "Gems" like Manos and The Room are truly awful (although The Room has somehow developed a cult following because of the fact it's awful; human beings are so bizarre).

    There are very few truly bad Hollywood films, because they tend to be formulaic and safe. Most of the lower end of the Hollywood quality spectrum tends to be mediocre to below average at worst. I can think of plenty I didn't enjoy, but that's not the same thing.

    Unless you venture into independent film or experimental film on a semi-regular basis it's highly unlikely you'll ever see a truly terrible film.

    I loved the choreography of it and the music too. Also a fan of Hugh Jackman.

    The colours, the party atmosphere of the movie, etc.

    I don't know how anyone couldn't like it to be honest.

    Yea, the story line wasn't great but the story isn't what makes it, it's more like a show in a theatre.

    It is like going to the west end.
    A couple of days before I had.
    Maybe I had had my fill of that for the next 10 years and that’s why I reacted so viscerally.

    My 12 yr old insisted on going to see "The Meg" in the summer holidays. First (& hopefully last) film I've seen with Jason Statham in since "Lock, Stock.." which I don't really remember him in. So, genuine question: what the heck was his accent supposed to be? It sounded like a mangled mix of cockney, South African and Australian.

    For me a tricky question to answer as if they are a rubbish watch I stop watching part of the way through.

    At the cinema, The Blair Witch Project sticks out. Pants film and the camera movements were giving me nausea.

    Yep, saw Kingsman a couple of months back. Something about it made me watch it all, more out of disbelief at how truly **** it was and how that famous English actor could be associated with it.

    This. I’ve quite a low tolerance for anything that doesn’t hold my interest in the first 10 minutes or so so if is crap it goes off. La La Land went off in about 5 minutes. If it’s a truly terrible film I’ll never even get close to the end.

    If it’s just a rubbish film I tend not to remember them, people will ask me if I’ve seen a certain film and if I didnt find it good then I can barely remember what happened anyway.

    That 3rd Matrix film.

    Could also add any of those recent comic book films, all utter tripe.

    Trouble with this is that I find that some films are "slow burners". La La Land is a good example - wasn't at all convinced at the beginning but ended up liking it

    The Lego Batman movie. Most kids' films these days are sophisticated enough to appeal to the parents forced to accompany their sprogs. But not this one, trust me. It's the first time I actually tried to go to asleep in the cinema, to escape the boredom. Turns out this wasn't even sophisticated enough for the kids, who found it tedious too.

    Sky have been hammering the advertising for the film 'Final Score' and I finally relented and watched it. I get it's not too serious and it's kinda Die Hard in a stadium but my word it's bloody dreadful.

    I was fully aware that we weren't going to see "high art" but it was offensively dreadful. Wasn't it made with Chinese money and squarely aimed at the Chinese market - they can do it: this was a great deal of fun and very, very watchable.

    Comedy Central right now...

    Hot Tub Time Machine 2...

    I found Hot Tub Time Machine fun, but the sequel is an absolute abomination.

    I like a crap movie. I can sit and be entertained without having to think.
    Final score as previously mentioned was OK. I spent my time trying to identify bits of Die Hard that were ripped off.

    Assassin - Danny Dyer on the other hand. Oh my it's awful.

    So many to choose from.

    I'll start with ones that are incomprehensibly (in my opinion) popular:-

    Pretty Woman
    Jaws
    Towering Inferno
    ET
    Train Spotting
    Erin Brokovitch
    Teen Titans Go To The Movies (took 4cyclones to see this - he thought it was great, I fell asleep)
    Up
    Terminator 3 onwards


    Then about 85% of the remainder. Most especially anything 'starring' Steven Seagall or Adam Sandler.

    Special mention for Harlem Nights with Eddie Murphy in it. I paid to see that at the cinema. Paid!

    I had this on pirate vhs. Must be Richard Pryor's worst film. I can't even remember a single piece of the plot.
