Fantaverse Top 100 Worst Films Ever Made

[BanksIsDaFuture]

I could go on and on on how much I hated Babylon A.D.

I hate that movie even more than the 2nd and 3rd POTC movies combined.

[MisterInformative]

I remember when Babylon AD came out. It was late August, kind of the same time of year we're at now. And coincidentally, this year, like every year previous, we're all lamenting how most of the films coming out look like crap... I dunno, my thought process is this: if we KNOW that a movie is probably going to be terrible, why are we so egregiously offended when it turns out to be just that?

[Buscemi]

Piranha 3-D and Nanny McPhee Returns were exceptions to the rule last year.

If you're talking dead months last year, you've got to mention The Town.

I dunno, my thought process is this: if we KNOW that a movie is probably going to be terrible, why are we so egregiously offended when it turns out to be just that?

Because in the case of Babylon AD, it SHOULD have been a great film. I encourage everyone to read Maurice Dantec's "Babylon Babies", and then you'll see why it had the potential to be awesome.

And The Boondock Saints only ran in five theatres. And Citizen Kane almost had all its prints destroyed after it underperformed in its first release. We could go on.

It's funny to see The Boondock Saints on the same level as Citizen Kane in your sentence Boosch. Maybe weird too

In the last season of the US Office, there wa sa new intern who claimed he was passionate about cinema, and that his 2 favourite movies were Citizen Kane and Boondock Saints (the latter being the punchline). How's that for a coincidence?

[Buscemi]

Well, adding Citizen Kane was an afterthought. I had to continue proving the point that a limited release doesn't mean the movie is bad.

Also, some people here treat The Boondock Saints as a religion.

[Chienfantome]

I know they do Boosch. And I can't judge it yet since I haven't seen it (it wasn't even released in France !), but it still is a funny juxtaposition.
And Six, this is how we discover that our friend Buscemi is in fact a writer for The Office !

[transformers2]

I thought Babolyn A.D was decent. I had really low expectations for it due to the negative word of mouth here. I wouldn't watch it again, but I honestly didn't think it was bad.

[ROBDude]

Citizen Kane was a hit to critics. I just didn't know that it was a bomb at the box office.

75 Basic Instinct 2



With a horrible plot and lame ending sequence, Basic Instinct 2 somehow doesn't work for the group of sequels that did have good plots and great ending sequences.

74 Deck the Halls



This movie completley ruins the spirit of Christmas by adding lame humor and a lame plot to make it as lame as it LOOKS! I mean, There were 2 scenes of the film that bothered be the most. The first one was the scene where after Buddy Hall's lights power down, everybody turns on their cell phones and sing. WHY? I Don't know! They should've left stating it was a false thing! The 2nd thing was MTV reporting about the lights. Why have MTV report it? They should've got CBS or NBC to do it! What's wrong with these people who created this movie!?! Overall, it's horrible.

Here are some more from my list:


#84. Crank (2006)

This movie shot Neveldine/Taylor right up near the top of my list (right below Boll and Friedberg/Seltzer) of directors to avoid at all costs. It's not that I can't get into a movie where a bad guy is getting revenge on worse guys who wronged him - hell, Payback is one of my all-time favorites - and it's not that I don't like Statham. But his character in this film was a complete ASSHOLE, that made it impossible for me to root for him at all. The whole movie was ridiculous, horribly shot, and monumentally stupid. By the time we got to the scene where he fucks his GF in the middle of a crowd, I was numb with frustration. And the ending? One of the most unbelievably ridiculous endings EVER.




#83. Die Another Day (2002)

The worst Bond movie I can remember seeing in theaters (though Quantum of Solace came close). It was pure Bond 101. Opening action sequence? Check. Hot chick? Check. Two-dimensional villain? Check. The whole thing looked like it was created from a manual, with zero originality, zero passion, zero enthusiasm. Just another actor playing out his contract.




#82. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)

I do like Matthew McConaughey, and none was happier than I was at the critical success of The Lincoln Lawyer. Heck, I even enjoyed Fool's Gold! But this was one of the shallowest, callowest, most awful takes on a classic Dickens theme that I've ever seen.




#81. Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Yeah, I know, Kubrick was a cinematic genius. But you'd think a movie that was mostly about sex would be, you know, interesting, but watching this film was like OD-ing on Ambien.




#80. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

I grew up on Roald Dahl stories, and I have nothing but fond memories for the Gene Wilder classic version. I cannot forgive Tim Burton for, well, Burtonizing this story. It's an unusual story, made for kids, with a dark streak... but it didn't need to be this bloody mess. And the tacked on ending with Christopher Lee was just a waste.




#79. Cop Out (2010)

I love Bruce Willis, and I'll go see any movie where he gets to carry a gun and a badge. However, as much as I love him, I hate Tracy Morgan even more. Many people find him funny, but I don't. Pairing him up with Willis, who bascially was just playing a parody of his better characters, was just sad to watch. Adding fucking Stifler to the mix was the final straw.




#78. Gnomeo and Juliet (2011)

How this film made $100 million I'll never know. It didn't work as Shakespeare, it didn't work as a kids movie, and the animation wasn't all that impressive. It's Toy Story with garden gnomes, minus all of the humor and camaraderie. Even classic Elton John songs couldn't save it.




#77. The Runaways (2010)

The backstory of the first ever all-female rock band was a story worth telling. I didn't even have any problem with Bella Swan playing Joan Jett. The problem with the story was, it didn't tell me ANYTHING that I didn't already know. There were no revelations, no deeper meanings, just another boring biopic. Even the make-out scene between Stewart and Fanning wasn't that great.




#76. The Killer Inside Me (2010)

This story, based on true events, about a small-town lawman leading a double life as a serial killer in the 50's, which I thought was a great story, never got off the ground. The normally reliable Casey Affleck was a blank slate, and there wasn't one scene in the movie that impressed or surprised me. For a character-driven story, there was a complete lack of charcter.




#75. Grindhouse (2007)

Great cast, great directors, so how the fuck could this go so horribly wrong? Yes, it was supposed to be a throwback to the old drive-in theater era, but my God... Planet Terror was the better part of the two, but it was too cheesy to even be taken as that? And Death Proof? When it wasn't boring the shit out of me with way-too-long conversations between uninteresting characters, there was one long protracted chase scene with a villain that turned into a complete whimpering pussy at the end. Yuck.

[ROBDude]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Gnomeo and Juliet, Ghosts of Girlfriend Past, and Die Another Day weren't that bad, Shryke. Crank and Grindhouse were kinda OK. The Runaways was almost bad. Cop Out was as awful as it looks. Haven't seen Killer inside Me or Eyes Wide Shut yet.

[Shrykespeare]

They were that bad. To me, anyway. Wouldn't have listed them otherwise.

This is all opinion anyway, like I said with Memento and Children of Men.

Willy Wonka is the ultimate fantasy film for me with one of the most iconic on-screen portrayls of all time and easily one of the best original soundtracks ever. To go from that to what Burton threw out there? I don't see one thing in his film that equals the original. I would call it a huge letdown, but I was sure they were going to destroy it in the first place.
