Thanks a lot! I was trying to repress the horrible memory of 'Babel'.
We rented it one night and turned it off almost immediately.
Never trust a movie critic's opinion anymore after that one.
What they saw in that mess, I don't know. :toilet:

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

This one?: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449467/
Seems to get a good rating from the voters!
Of course if you want to see good movies here's a list to start: http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
And the ones to avoid: http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom
But of course taste is personal; sometimes it can be fun to watch a really bad movie, even if it is just to have a good laugh!

This has to be the WORSE Movie of all time..
And it has John Wayne in it..
Bummer..
The Conqueror, (1956) In ancient times, the Mongolian warlord Temujin must do battle against the rival tribe that killed his father. The battles pale in comparison with Temujin's home life, as he attempts to woo the heart of the red-haired Tartar prisoner
starring John Wayne as Genghis Khan
This is SO Bad!!!

Yes, that one. The only reason I almost watched all of it was (lemme check if the wife is monitoring this...) Cate Blanchett....

The Conqueror...yes, incredibly bad.
However, I give Wayne a break. He was one of those actors who basically stated that he worked to work. He was not a method actor or a prima dona like Brando. He would take any part that paid and he could fit in his schedule. This means he was in some really, really bad films, as well as some outstanding ones.
There are several famous actors who still follow this mantra.....Michael Caine comes to mind.
My question for the forum is what supposedly "great" movies do you think really sucked....
My nomination is "Avatar", seconded by "Titanic". Both Cameron films you note....I don't have anything especially against Cameron, just feel these particular films fell well short of the adulation heaped upon them.
Oh, back to the worst films category, my nomination is "Starship Troopers", for taking a great story, which should have easily translated....and destroying it.

Yup. "Guilty" here too.
Me too.....
I think Cate Blanchett is an incredibly beautiful woman, and getting more so as she ages....she and Lauren Bacall.
Oh My Gawd Yes! The book was awesome, but the movie was downright horrible! complete drivel, only thing worse were the sequels. (My darling wife bought me the 3pack, as she knew I had the book and loved it. I watched all three, just so she wouldn't feel bad.)

On the positive side of things I'm always on the lookout for those 'sleeper' type movies that work well but you don't hear much about because of the absence of big star selling power. Try thriller movie "Ophan", anyone that contemplated adopting a child from a far away place will have second thoughts about it after this one.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Shatner directed himself freehand climbing a mountain almost as big as his ego. Only Trek film I've been to where other Trek fans in the audience booed.
