Aaah, this thread brings back memories. Both good and bad. But a few classics seem to be missing still...

Robocop 3
Unbelievably bad sequel to an average sequel of a pretty good film. There was no plot, as far as I can recall, and the whole thing that reeked of bad toy commercial. Most memorable scenes:

Robocop is shoved aside by a Japanese ninja android. The ninja approaches robo with a sword. Robo reaches for his gun. The ninja approaches robo, swinging his sword. Robo reaches for his gun. Ninja approaches and swings the sword. Robo reaches for his gun. Ninja approaches. Robo - gun. Ninja - sword. This went on for a while. And then, just in nick of time, Robocop gets his gun and shoot the ninja. Yawn.
A cop in the police station asks another one if he's got a light. Then robocop enters the room with a flamethrower. Hahaha that is so incredibly funny I could almost blink my eyes.

Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Comic book movie starring David Hasselhoff. I'm not so sure if further details are even necessary, but here're some highlights...

At the beginning of the movie, Nick Fury is on vacation, digging the walls in a mine shaft and smoking a cigar. Uh, hello? I can buy the tough guy like Fury likes the physical exercise, and maybe he likes closed, low-oxygen spaces like mine shafts, and I can ignore the fact that it's a totally pointless activity, but what the heck was he smoking a cigar for?!?
S.H.I.E.L.D. is a top secret US spy agency, so naturally one of its top agents is a british guy who just graduated from SHIELD academy (hey, that'd be a good name for a movie...).
Near the end, Nick Fury is captured and searched for hidden weapons. But his capturers forget to check his fake eyeball, so Nick escapes. But a few moments later he whips up a life size robot copy of himself... yes, a LIFE SIZED DAVID HASSELHOFF ROBOT to fool the bad guys. I just wonder, which bodily orifice did he hide that thing?

City of Angels is the worst film I have ever seen. I watched it on a plane; not once, but twice! Ick. Terrible film. Stay away from it.

Edited to add that I hated Ghost, too.

The Blair Witch Project

Star Trek: Nemesis

Batman & Robin

The Punisher

Oh, and Dr. T and the Women, one of the most truly agonizing experiences of my life. It seriously ranks up there with appendicitis followed by pneumonia.

Of course, as always, people have listed countless movies that I quite enjoy. *chuckle*

Nemesis was better than Insurrection, at least.

tronvillain · 12-30-2002, 12:47 AM

No, I would have to say that Nemesis was worse than Insurrection. One was a mediocre two hour episode, the other was an abortion of a movie.

Mars Attacks was a very bad movie, but as far as movies go, Mars Attacks was was much better than Independence Day.

It's a Wonderful Life

But it's a terrible film. I don't remember when I saw a more self-righteous, Whiteboy pro-capitalist film. I laughed, I cried, I changed channels.
