Your best and worst ever Film/Movie....

[zico]

To compliment the best/worst TV programme thread I thought I would put this question forward, although it may well have been done before! Was one of three for me as the best. Back to the Future and JAWS share second place with Hitchcock's Rear Window still my favourite film of all time. The worst by far has to be a god awful effort called Movie 43. So bad I didn't even finish it. So many stars in it though so they either got paid a fortune or had no idea what dross they had agreed to.

CrowleyHammer 2:00 Thu Sep 7 I always think that if you're going to successfully do something badly on purpose (Les Dawson's piano playing?), you really need to be able to do it well first. Sadly, I suspect this is not the case with these folks.

Best. Cukoos nest or Godfather 1 & 2. Worst. Boxing Helena.

I think they are trying to create the so bad it's good genre, the trouble for me is that only works if you genuinely try to make a good film and it goes horribly wrong. Something like Alone in the Dark for instance. But if you set out to make it shit it's just shit.

Best - Gladiator Worst - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

[zebthecat]

Bungo 10:26 Thu Sep 7 That'll be the oevre of The Asylum studio. Terrible dialogue, worse acting interrupted by short bursts of really shonky CGI. So bad they're bad.

I had the misfortune of watching two footy related films on long haul flights that thankfully I cant remember the name of. One had Danny Dyer in it, I'm sure it was something to do with a world cup or something, and another had Vinny Jones in it, leading a pack of hooligans...made my eyes bleed

Most of the worst films listed here are pretty well-known. I believe that there is another whole sub-level that probably should be included. I'm referring to virtually any fim shown on the Horror or SyFy channel. I don't even know if these channels are still going, but whenever I stumbled across them at the wrong end of the Freeview channel list, there was always a film being shown that utterly defied belief. I never made it through a whole one, but every aspect of these things including acting, plot, script, sets, cinematography, special effects etc was of the lowest possible quality. I'm guessing that they were VERY cheap to make. I suppose Sharknado is the best-known of these things? It did make me wonder about the people making them. What did they think they were doing? Was/is there an actual market for such stuff? Did they ever work again? Straight to DVD would have been a high aspiration surely?

Best - Does anyone over the age of 14 really have a 'best' film, I mean come on ffs, but IF I had to pick one it's hard to look past The Godfather Part 2. Good shout on Sexy Beast, love that film. The Day of the Jackal is a masterpiece, Goodfellas, many others. Worst - Snakes on a plane.

[Sydney_Iron]

Off the top of my head. Best, The Sting. Redford and Newman at their best and a great soundtrack from Scott Joplin Worst, The Whale. with Brendan Fraser and its utter shit.

Man who would be King - Best Went to see (no idea why) Lucy a few years back, I walked out, total garbage

[Takashi Miike]

Grumps, did you ever see Jack Nicholson getting his best actor award for Chinatown in 1975? He receives on the set of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and the whole cast are in character and there as gives his speech. It's a brilliant clip https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gtHI0ipkgEo&pp=ygUmamFjayBuaWNob2xzb24gYmFmdGEgYWNjZXB0YW5jZSBzcGVlY2g%3D

violator 8:35 Wed Sep 6 Aww, come on. Con Air is such wonderful schlock "Put the bunny back in the box," a car get dragged through a tower by a plane, and no piece of scenery left unchewed. What's not to like.

[Grumpster]

Best - One flew over the cuckoo's nest Worst - a tie between fight club and blair witch project Considering fight club is seen as a masterpiece, I guessed it was all in his head after about 5 minutes and then found it utterly shit. Maybe I need to try it again as that was at the cinema when it first came out.

[Gary Strodders shank]

Best - Sexy Beast Worst - Green Street

[zico]

happygilmore should have phrased it as a"favourite" from my youth which I can still watch again today. All three of the ones I mentioned I can watch more than once and that's a box ticker for me.

[happygilmore]

zico 4:22 Wed Sep 6 Jaws - best ? FMOB I gave up reading at that point

Best - Lawrence of Arabia Worst - Spice Girls The Movie/Bedazzled (2000 remake)

[the exile]

Best: got to love The Shawshank Redemption seen it so many times but can't resist watching at least part of it whenever it comes up on the box. Closely followed by Witness. The French know how to make a cracking film - my faves are Amelie and Jean de Florette. Worst: I know it's only a kids film but the only time I have ever fallen asleep in a cinema was when I took one of my kids to the Pokémon movie.

[nerd]

Best film- Cidade de Deus Worse - porkys rwvenge

[Far Cough]

arsene, good call on Ran, I bought the Blu ray version, it's just spectacular although it doesn't have Toshiro Mifune my favourite actor in it but it does have Tatsuya Nakadai who is almost as good.

[Mr. Burns]

Best = No Holds Barred Worst = Johnny Mnemonic

[The Stoat]

Best: A bit dated now but I was blown away by Close Encounters of the Third Kind when it came out Worst: Cloverfield - Absolute Garbage of a film

[arsene york-hunt]

Best: Ran (Kurosawa) Worst: Don't mess with the Zohan
