Worst film

[Large]

2001: A Space Odyssey anyone? OK, it was "epic" and "seminal" and all that...but it wasn't half tedious.

I endured the sequel 2010: The Year We Make Contact. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You should be banned from watching films.

2001 is brilliant.

Existenz. Dire stuff and didn't understand it at all, but suffered until the end as i'd paid my money! Critics seemed to love it though......

I think I may have a slightly lower boredom threshold than the art house mob.

The Abyss. Abysmal - I ended up counting the people in the cinema with bald heads, the people in the cinema who were smoking,.... I guess it's the cinema version of counting sheep.

I didn't know we had a mob! It's good to know there are others who are similarly twattish about films.

Existenz is another one that has no place on this thread.

Prophetic, sinister, brilliant!

I spent a summer in the 90s with relatives in Dallas. My small and big C conservative aunt took me to see Waterworld. As revenge, I talked her into coming with me to see "a film about Scotland" ... aka Trainspotting.

Love Waterworld. Existenz was great too.

I loved Existenz - visually brilliant, unsettling and compelling all the way through. 2nd viewing revealed rather more details too.

You miserable thing -a real "sense of wonder" film. Admittedly the ending was a notch or two too twee, but I loved it overall

Love Waterworld. Existenz was great too.

Some sense at last!

Waterworld is seriously under-rated and Existenz took a kicking because idiots (who didn't really understand it I suspect) compared it to The Matrix.

Another one that bored me to tears and this will really upset the sci-fi fanatics.

Bladerunner.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I go to the cinema very rarely, so I have to back to the 1980s and Dune.

Worst film I have ever seen was The Football Factory which was on telly late at night when I was working away from home and didn't have Sky.

Worst actor in the history of cinema has to be Jason Statham. Eye candy he may be for some, but I have had more talent pass though my bowels today than he has ever shown on screen. Sharon Stone's performance, if you can call it that, in the otherwise very good "Casino" was the worst I have seen from a laydee.

Whilst I do concede Dune really wasn't very good I loved the look of the film and the conjuring up the alien world. Bizarre departures from the book, poor storytelling, plodding acting from on-paper very good cast - hey Sting gives by far the best performance, that's how bad it is. Yet still I rather like it.

Can't see anything wrong with Sharon Stones performance jn Caisino though - totally believable.as the character she's playing
