What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen?
prostoalex asks: "A recent Ask Yahoo! article talks about the worst movies ever made and points out this IMDB list of the bottom rankings. The Ask Yahoo! article names Manos The Hands of Fate the worst one, but apparently the IMDB table changed since then to include The Wild World of Batwoman at the top of the list. What would you consider the worst movie ever made? Perhaps anything listed here would also make the list?"
My room mates and I decided to rent it one knight based soley on the Dragons on the box. It turned out to remind me of a student film by some drop out. Every time the hero entered, EVERY time, they played the same fanfare. To top it off, there weren't any dragons, just a portal with a humanoid demon-looking thing trying to step through. Bad as it is, I still recommend everyone try and watch it. Until you see it, your meter for bad, nay all movies isn't properly calibrated. As a side note, they have two sequals of which I intend to watch.

Eyes Wide Shut has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. The music was terrible like someone was just trying to annoy you by randomly hitting the high pitch keys of a piano. It had so much nudity and was such a stupid story. It wasn't a porn, it wasn't a movie, it was floating somewhere in the middle that made no sense and wasted everyones time who watched it.
The movie was so bad I wonder if it contributed to Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's divorce. It had to as after being in that movie I probably couldn't face anyone I was in the movie with. It was that bad!
It's easy to spot people who are criticizing that movie without having seen it. They regurgitate some talking points without adding anything personal. That would be credible if the talking points were a knock-down ironclad rebuttal, but they always seem to miss the forest for the trees. To anyone who's actually seen the movie, they sound like: "Aha! Moore shows Bush hugging the Saudi ambassador and implies that it happened in the Oval Office. In fact, it happened in Saudi Arabia." Most of it is beside the point and "debunks" things that I neither believed nor thought that the film was trying to make me believe.
I don't buy Moore's conspiracy theories, but the film has a lot more to offer. The re-creation of the attacks is the most propagandistic part of the film, but it's also the best and the least anti-Bush. If you haven't seen the movie, watch it for that--and for the interviews. Moore spends a surprising amount of time with his own mouth closed.
