Rubbish films

[aka pixi]

Do you ever start watching a film that is complete crap but watch it all way through 'in case something good happens' even though you know for a fact it wont? or is it just me?

Last night i sat and watched Doom with The Rock, one of the crappiest films I have seen in a long time but didnt switch off 'just in case' oh and there was the small reason of The Rock looking really good ;)

Hiya Pixi!

Yes Open Water! My God it was just total pants! yet I carried on watching just in case....

Solaris ...

and Donnie Darko

[4getmenot]

Yer Dish Dogs. Dont even ask

[OBonio]

Yup, I watched Solaris all the way through. And, more recently, The Family Stone... makes me whince at the thought of it.

In fact, all movies I rent I watch them all. I don't know why, but I don't think I can pass comment on them unless I do watch them all....

[aka pixi]

hi everyone, glad its not just me. I do the same with books too unless they are really really crappy.

hi wingy, thanks for the tip on open water,i was in 2 minds whether to watch it or not

Naz - Donnie Darko is superb. No returns. ;)

I always feel like a Philistine when i say this, but I hated Godfather II and just wanted to go to sleep, but kept on til ten end. Wished I never had.

I watched Battlefield Earth all the way through, I knew it was bad but wanted to see just how bad! What was Travolta thinking?

[~Wingnut~]

Pixi glad to be of service, it really is a crap film! My sister recommended it to me, hence I don't listen to her anymore! She's into scuba diving and all that and liking bad films obviously!
Ta Ta :o)

I think most of them are on FilmFour at the moment, which explains why it is now a free channel. Have to agree with Solaris.

thank god i am not alone. I watched Ladies in Lavender last night on sky movies didn't finish until twenty to two in the morning and i kept saying 5 more mins then i'm turning it off but no kept watching right till the end, what junk!!!

[Pippa68]

I desperately tried with 'The Matrix' but failed..I fell asleep (both times) around half way through.

I went off and did the washing up towards the end of Donnie Darko.

Once upon a time in Mexico..............jeez that were *****, i worst movie i saw at the cinema.

I like to think im quite a fan of crap movies, but ones that have something to cling onto, some movies are just so boring and badly made that they are actually ass.

[Oh Bother]

alien vs predator.........total sh1te

[redcrx]

Im with wingnut, Open water. What a waste of time. Thankfully its only an hour long but Id rather had done ironing (anyone who knows me knows how much i hate ironing)

[ugly_bob]

Charlie's Angels, Chralie's Angles 2, Lord of the Rings trilogy, that Robocop one on C5 last night

[reinganum]

I assume Octavius and OBonio saw the remake of Solaris and not Andrei Tarkovsky's original (around 1970 I think). Just another example of Hollywood taking a half-decent film and screwing it up. check out http://www.imdb.com and read the reviews.

[OBonio]

reinganum, yes it was the remake with George Clooney. I've not seen the original but I doubt my local DVD shop has it in anyway.

[RogerMellie]

Ocean's Twelve - yawnola!!!

[bigelaine]

The Swimmer!!! Utter Boll***s!

[willa]

Another vote here for Battlefield Earth. Also:
- Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (don't ask; I had lost a bet and had to watch)
- Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (gets the award for the most repulsive use of Ed Begley, Jr.)
- Prospero's Books (Peter Greenaway is so hit-or-miss. Guess which this was.)

Oh, there are so many more . . .
