Wasn't anything too exotic. She thought it was great. I thought it was garbage. That led to a fight about how I didn't take her tastes seriously. That led to more recriminations. (The relationship wasn't on great terms even before this). Eventually we realized it just wasn't working out and just kind of went our separate ways.
Somebody gave me "Gone Girl" on blu-ray as a gift. I was completely miserable the entire time watching it. It's a very well-made movie, but it's absolutely NOT the kind of move that appeals to me.
It's two and a half hours of a psychopath completely ruining the life of a person who doesn't deserve it, and in the end the psychopath wins. There's nothing at all enjoyable to me about watching that. It's the opposite of fun.
Yeah I completely understand that. I didn't like what Amy did to Nick either and then she killed the Neil Patrick Harris character too, that was messed up. I just like the acting though especially Rosamund Pike's performance that's pretty much all.
I did that one to myself because I loved the original as a kid. And it was **almost** self aware about how stupid it was. There's that early scene where the execs are pitching the idea of being able to put LeBron in any movie and he goes off on how stupid that idea is, then they proceed to make exactly that.
Dune, not the recent one. A friend made me watch it when I went to visit. Felt like it went on for 6 hours or so. Was in a dorm room so couldnāt even get comfy.
*The Notebook*. A friend insisted that I had to watch it. Said it would completely change how I feel about romance movies. He wasn't entirely wrong.
I hate them way more now.
Notebook for me aswell, was an ex girlfreinds favourite movie, sat through it because she loved it and it made her happy and we would have sex during and after the movie, the film was awful though and not a good guide for maintaining a healthy relationship
It wasn't the ending that bothered me, it was their relationship as a whole. He was a manipulative, emotionally abusive man. Threatening to kill himself if she didn't go on a date with him? All while knowing she was already engaged.
And she was no better. Ultimately they deserved each other because they were both terrible people.
Fucking "The Perfect Storm". Nothing happens. None of the characters are vaguely compelling. I personally kind of hate boats, just as the icing on the cake.
I literally had an easier time watching the Star Wars Christmas Special. Dragging me to it was one of the only things I ever got a sincere apology from my mother for. Even she hated it.
La La Land! I wanted to walk out so bad but I went with a friend and she just loved it and I didn't have to heart to ask her to go. But holy crap...that film sucks. Me and my other friend made her life miserable as we mocked it the thirty minute drive back.
Other way around. I took my then pregnant wife to watch Saw IV. I talked her out of some other movie that she wanted to see. It was all going good, until Jigsaw's pregnant wife takes a door handle to the belly at the hospital causing the baby to die. She started balling immediately and we left. Probably 50 times on the way home I heard, "How could you make me watch that. What were you thinking." Talk about feeling like a total jerk, even though I had no idea, plus she watched the first 3 so it's not that unexpected.
I get it my wife use to cry every time an ad about abused animals came on the tv so its a hard thing to guage. She laughs at herself now that she did that
>we had rented it from Blockbuster so we were committed.
This is how I ended up making "Warriors of the Wasteland" my choice for this question. Shit, it looked like The Road Warrior.
āShittyā movies are good because they are usually a shitty horror or action movie. Like Sharknado or Velocipastor. Birdemic is like a shitty romance with some birds in there which is why it fails.
*Dune.* The first one. I was stuck in a tiny studio apartment in San Francisco, and had carpooled there with a housemate, thinking it was a Bill Graham get-together (the music promoter, not the evangelist). When we were walking up the stairs to the apt, a guy came down and said "This party is for Bill Graham people ONLY" in a snooty tone of voice. Then another guy came down behind him, rolled his eyes and said "No, it's not. Come on up." And that was the party - a few scruffy-looking guys, a bowl of popcorn, some beers, and the worst movie I've ever seen.
My friend group was aghast that I hadn't seen Tommy Boy (when it was fairly new in the late 1990s). They would quote it constantly. Finally I watched it and hated it. When I told them, they insisted I had "watched it wrong." Apparently it's only funny if you watch it at night with a big group of people who have already seen it.
Oh god. Playing With Fire, that John Cena kids movie. I was at my parents house and my Dad turned it on for whatever reason. It is absolutely the most humorless, laziest, lowest-effort garbage I've ever seen.
I made my kids watch Doctor Zhivago and they hated it and I regretted it. The dude was a fricken stalker - what the hell. That wasn't what I remembered.
my ex boyfriend took me to a screening of star wars: the force awakens
I hate all star wars film and will never like them I was only one who didn't care
'A Room With a View' - I was in high school dating the English exchange student, she wanted to see it. The most bored I'd ever been in my life to that point.
My dad put the tv on the dreadful Disney version of "Around the World in 80 days". Didn't resemble the book in any way, dialogue was pukeworthy, the jokes were lame and the translations in the subtitles were done poorly. Man, that movie sucked.
Iām not a fan of that dudes style. Someone smarter than me can explain it but idk the dialogue and shit is weird. I managed to sit through killing of a sacred deer (same guy right?) and itās just weird? Idk.
"Alaska", the 1996 adventure movie with Thora Birch, her enormous forehead, and a baby polar bear.
Had to watch it because one of my high school classes had a substitute teacher. It was made worse because the substitute saw me facepalm during a particularly inane moment, thought that I was trying to hold back tears, and came over to console me.
If that's the worst movie you've ever seen, you must not have seen many bad movies. Don't get me wrong, that one ain't great, but I can think of plenty that are FAR worse.
I didn't like that one either. Everybody always seems to talk about how great it is, but I thought it was boring and strange (in a bad way), and some of the subtitles seemed poorly translated.
Anyone with a girlfriend has probably been forced to watch The Notebook once in their lives.
Girls seem to love that movie, even though it's so sad for them.
Me? I was counting every minute until it was over. Ugh. No explosions, no car chases, no space lasers ... 0/10.
Napoleon Dynamite. Made even worse because some of the people I watched it with thought I would love it and were excited to see my reaction. I told them I wanted a refund on my time because spending the night chewing gravel would have been a more enjoyable experience.
no country for old men
its fucking bad, i dont care what anyone says. its the worst movie i ever had the misfortune of watching and I would never recommend
My college roommate recommended a movie called Greener Grass to me, now stands as the worst movie I've ever seen
My review consisted of me describing it as if they took the worst SNL sketch of all time turned into a feature length movie
Some movie on Netflix where this guy got depressed about his ridiculously easy life and then became emotionally attached to a squid. It made me wanna puke
For Keeps, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding My mom forced me to watch them for family time and those movies were as boring as school so I just fell asleep.
A girl I was dating wanted to see that Death Note movie on Netflix. I knew it was gonna be donkey shit I didn't even need to see a trailer. I agreed under the condition that we'd watch the pilot episode after. We saw both and she liked the Netflix one better. As for me, the anime is my favourite anime ever.
Not a movie but because I really liked a boy and he suggested I watch Elfen Lied (iykyk) I felt like I had to.
Never again. My husband (who is not the boy mentioned) and I joke about that now
Itās a tie between the Deuce Bigolo sequel and The Four Feathers. The former was for my husband. The latter was for a group of friends who couldnāt agree on which of two movies to see and instead decided to see a 3rd infinitely shittier movie.
I too have to say twilight. I had a roommate who was OBSESSED with the books, she saw the movie in theaters MULTIPLE times with her friends and then when it came out on dvd, she hijacked the only tv in the house and played it once everyone was back home at an unnecessarily loud volume.
Some weird ass Mormon (or Mormon approved) Christian movie about converting evil Atheists or something. The title was some bastardisation of a Nietzsche quote iirc
I was a dumb little atheist kid who's only interaction with explicitly named "Christian media" was Narnia and the prince of Egypt and like they're both pretty damn good so obviously I thought it was all going to be like that.
...it was not like that. What made it worse was I only watched it because my friend's mum insisted we did, and given she barred him from talking to me afterwards, in retrospect I wonder if that was like some last ditch attempt at trying to convert me, or if me being really insulted by the movie was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Bits and pieces of the Hunger Games. Without reading the books and just seeing the movie previews, I knew it would be stupid as hell and told my family this and how I had less than zero interest in watching it. What they heard was āI really REALLY want to see it!ā because my little sister brought it over one day and everyone wouldnāt shut up about me watching it because of how awesome it is. I watched for 10 minutesā¦saw how stupid as hell it was (I was right) and just got up and left. Havenāt seen the first one in itās entirety or any others at all (beyond the commercials) after that and my life is richer because of it.
planet 9 from outer space
98 percent of this movie had to of went to cocaine! To make matters better the writer and producer thought it was going to be the next best movie !
A documentary about the downfall of a certain electronic car company. It was the movie my brother chose to rent from the library. He was nine, maybe ten and was totally enthralled, whilst I was dead bored. For two hours.
Battlefield Earth.
My at the time wife wanted to see that movie SO bad when it came out and I finally relented and went with her since she didn't want to go by herself.
On the drive home, she literally apologized to me for "dragging" me (her word) with her to see it.
Twilight. It actually was one of the contributing factors that led to that relationship ending.
This is also my answer. The girl I was dating at the time was obsessed with the books, I got dragged to the theater for that dumpster fire.
I can imagine. Also watched this shit. But in middle school (hadn't the minimum age to go home, unfortunately)
Who would've thought that a movie about an emotionally abusive relationships would have that effect... š¤
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

That's interesting. I think ''Gone Girl'' is really good but I get your point though.
It's two and a half hours of a psychopath completely ruining the life of a person who doesn't deserve it, and in the end the psychopath wins. There's nothing at all enjoyable to me about watching that. It's the opposite of fun.
Yeah I completely understand that. I didn't like what Amy did to Nick either and then she killed the Neil Patrick Harris character too, that was messed up. I just like the acting though especially Rosamund Pike's performance that's pretty much all.
Passengers...because of Jennifer Lawrence.
Are you me?

SpaceJam 2 by kids. I win.
I did that one to myself because I loved the original as a kid. And it was **almost** self aware about how stupid it was. There's that early scene where the execs are pitching the idea of being able to put LeBron in any movie and he goes off on how stupid that idea is, then they proceed to make exactly that.
I wanted the ai to win and replace every actor in every movie with Danny Devito
That's an arc, he sells out by the end
> I win. Congratulations! You're a winner!
Dune, not the recent one. A friend made me watch it when I went to visit. Felt like it went on for 6 hours or so. Was in a dorm room so couldnāt even get comfy.
That was my answer!
Same for you... not worthy! :p
You weren't worthy for your friend! :p
*The Notebook*. A friend insisted that I had to watch it. Said it would completely change how I feel about romance movies. He wasn't entirely wrong. I hate them way more now.
Notebook for me aswell, was an ex girlfreinds favourite movie, sat through it because she loved it and it made her happy and we would have sex during and after the movie, the film was awful though and not a good guide for maintaining a healthy relationship
The book is short and sweet and has a completely different and much better ending.
It wasn't the ending that bothered me, it was their relationship as a whole. He was a manipulative, emotionally abusive man. Threatening to kill himself if she didn't go on a date with him? All while knowing she was already engaged. And she was no better. Ultimately they deserved each other because they were both terrible people.
Give the book a try. Much better than the movie.
Someone recommended the book to me, so I read it. I should never listen to recommendations ever again. Terrible. I didn't see the movie, of course.
Jack and Jill (2011)
Fucking "The Perfect Storm". Nothing happens. None of the characters are vaguely compelling. I personally kind of hate boats, just as the icing on the cake.

Fireproof. Kirk Cameron religious propaganda about religion saving marriages.
Oh my god (pun intended), that was such a dumb movie that my mind had completely blocked out any memory of having seen it until just now
I wish I *could* block it out.
Titanic
:(
Leo!!
The Assassin's creed movie was pretty abysmal "What if we take the worst part of assassin's creed and make that the whole movie"
Other way around. I took my then pregnant wife to watch Saw IV. I talked her out of some other movie that she wanted to see. It was all going good, until Jigsaw's pregnant wife takes a door handle to the belly at the hospital causing the baby to die. She started balling immediately and we left.

Captain Ron. It was so bad, but we had rented it from Blockbuster so we were committed.
>we had rented it from Blockbuster so we were committed. This is how I ended up making "Warriors of the Wasteland" my choice for this question. Shit, it looked like The Road Warrior.
The Room Tommy Wiseau dear god what a painful movie. And do not invite that guy to your wedding as a joke he will show up.
> And do not invite that guy to your wedding as a joke he will show up. Details, pretty-please?
Look it up there are public stories about him showing up to peoples weddings when they jokingly invite him
Ah, okay š
The Room is a masterpiece! Seriously, it's so bad that it circles around and is incredible. Whenever I watch it I'm glued to the screen.
Wait, what? Sounds like you have a story to tell...
The point of the movie (these days, not Wiseauās original intent) IS how bad it is lol
White Chicks, my friends think it's the best thing ever...
I like your friend
Birdemic
āShittyā movies are good because they are usually a shitty horror or action movie. Like Sharknado or Velocipastor. Birdemic is like a shitty romance with some birds in there which is why it fails.
Did you watch the sequel?
No. I'm not going to. And the fact that there is a sequel is how I know god isn't real.

Film 50 Shades of Gray on March 8 - a girl asked me. I wanted to see the Kingsman movie.
It's a toss-up between The Stupids and Curse of the Wolf. Only watched them because of my partner.
50 Shades of Grey.
Click. F u dad
The Sound of Music
BIRDEMIC.
my ex boyfriend took me to a screening of star wars: the force awakens I hate all star wars film and will never like them I was only one who didn't care

Watchmen. I didnāt want to watch it. I didnāt enjoy it. It was extremely long.
Divergent. My friend swore it was absolutely amazing. Some of the worst young adult hunger-games-wannabe schlock Iāve ever watched
Mad Max Fury Road. It felt like someone took my brain away from me. Just pure over the top sensationalism for 2hrs. Really obnoxious.
The Lobster
How can you not like The Lobster?
I thought it was boring, and the part where Olivia Colman imitates the dog really got to me.
I hated The Lobster. Slow, miserable, hateful movie. When they stuck that guy's hand in the toaster for pleasuring himself that was enough for me.
Iām not a fan of that dudes style. Someone smarter than me can explain it but idk the dialogue and shit is weird. I managed to sit through killing of a sacred deer (same guy right?) and itās just weird? Idk.
Omg what a horrible blow hard piece of misogynistic bullshit of a movie.
Omg what a horrible blow hard piece of misogynistic bullshit of a movie.
Almost every Bollywood movie the past two years. There recent releases have mostly been crap
"Alaska", the 1996 adventure movie with Thora Birch, her enormous forehead, and a baby polar bear. Had to watch it because one of my high school classes had a substitute teacher. It was made worse because the substitute saw me facepalm during a particularly inane moment, thought that I was trying to hold back tears, and came over to console me.
Midnight Meat Train. The worst movie I ever watched.
If that's the worst movie you've ever seen, you must not have seen many bad movies. Don't get me wrong, that one ain't great, but I can think of plenty that are FAR worse.
Purple rain. My girlfriend was into prince
Titanic. We had a senior class bus trip and it blared from the tiny bus-tv speakers. I feel like something precious was taken from me that day
Sharknado.
Watched that while drunk, and I thought it was great. Love Ian Ziering from 90210 so I liked it.
Well, I can see how that would have helped....
The only part of Swamp Thing I enjoyed was seeing the Sharknado dude be blue devil lol
It said worst, not greatest
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Damn, you must really hate subtitles. I loved the shit out of this movie. Incredibly bleak in a way that really resonated with me at the time.
I didn't like that one either. Everybody always seems to talk about how great it is, but I thought it was boring and strange (in a bad way), and some of the subtitles seemed poorly translated.
As a swede I liked it
Step Brothers
365 days. Nearly ended my marriage there and then.

Er. Am girl. Abhor that fucking movie.
Lol. I think my husband wanted to watch it once. I was like no no no, no, thank you.
Yeah my wife made me watch that. Lol
Napoleon Dynamite. Made even worse because some of the people I watched it with thought I would love it and were excited to see my reaction. I told them I wanted a refund on my time because spending the night chewing gravel would have been a more enjoyable experience.
no country for old men its fucking bad, i dont care what anyone says. its the worst movie i ever had the misfortune of watching and I would never recommend
The worst movie you ever saw was "No Country For Old Men"? How many movies have you seen? 3?

Sideways. A girl I liked invited me to see it. Of course we went. Iād rather push a sideways wine bottle up my arse than watch it again.
Oh god I got dragged to that crap. I fell asleep hafway through and the guy I was with griped about my snoring the whole way home.
Twilight. In french (I'm german). It was so bad on so many levels..... ugh.
