3 best movies, 3 worst movies

[Jake S.]

Three of the best movies ever...The Warriors, The Driver, and Rock Star.


Three of the worst...In the Name Of The King (just flat out terrible) In the name of the king, and in the name of the king. :bor:

- Caddyshack

Bottom 3:

Three worst: Van Helsing (only film I've walked out of), this movie called The Butterfly and the Wheel or something that had possibly the most stupid plot ever conceived and Simon Sez featuring the multi talented Dennis Rodman...

[dsylvianfan]

Best:
Ran
The 400 Blows
La Strada

Worst:
XXX with Vin Deisel
Along came Polly
Home Fries

Just off the top of my head 3 is not enough you need at least 10 and catagories would help, action, drama etc.

[Caulk Rocket]

I don't have any absolute favorites or most hated, so I'll just select three of each at random.


Best
They Live
Friday
The Big Lebowski


Worst
Forrest Gump
Matrix sequels
You Got Served

[Counterpoint]

So many good ones, it's difficult to narrow them down.

Best:

Apollo 13
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
A Hard Day's Night


Worst:

Jerry McGuire (Scientology Tom)
Pretty Woman (Richard Gere)
The Fugitive (Harrison Ford)

Actually, pretty much anything with Richard Gere or Harrison Ford in it is crap (exception: Raiders of the Lost Ark).

[Counterpoint]

I don't have any absolute favorites or most hated, so I'll just select three of each at random.


Best
They Live
Friday
The Big Lebowski


Worst
Forrest Gump
Matrix sequels
You Got Served

Forrest Gump was a great movie.

Lebowski = a complete waste of two hours

[Counterpoint]

Permit me to suggest an alternate selection:

Best:

Brick
Wall-E
Chariots of Fire


Worst:

The Big Lebowski
Star Wars I (Jar-Jar)
Eraserhead

[Caulk Rocket]

Forrest Gump was a great movie.

Lebowski = a complete waste of two hours



As obvious a pick as it is, the film nonetheless hits the trifecta of reprehensible cinema: demonizing social awareness and activism, lionizing apathy and outright retardation, and reducing all of American history to quips, clips, and humorous anecdotes. That it transforms a supreme dolt to the level of hero is beyond debate, but who knew it would also set the table for the presidency of George W. Bush, a man who, like a feather, floated along until being thrust into events he couldn’t possibly understand? Civil rights marches, anti-war protests, and even literacy itself led one to drug abuse, violence, disease, and death, while an all-consuming self-absorption typical of the brain damaged brought down the angels from their heavenly perch. Arguably the most reactionary motion picture ever conceived, it ruined the world most of all because it made deep, unshakable idiocy acceptable, even valued, in our families, our neighbors, and yes, even our world leaders. Still, the most appalling image of all remains Forrest’s shameless mugging while George Wallace blocks the schoolhouse door from the forces of integration. Now, instead of equating Wallace’s act with vile, pandering hatred, we have cheap laughs to carry us home.
http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/reviews.cfm/id/1278/page/___films_that_ruined_the_world.html

[whiteop]

Worst:

1. The Stupids
2. Punch Drunk Love
3. The Black Dahlia

and I could add a lot more if you didn't limit it to just 3...

Heh-heh! Can't write your OWN review? Until I read the next to last sentence, I thought the review was about The Big Lebowski.

FG is allegorical and fanciful. Tom Hanks carries us on his shoulders as he jogs through the latter half of the Twentieth Century. We are privileged to be the proverbial "fly on the wall." We're there for the great pivotal moments in Baby Boomer history.

Of course, no one was there for all of those moments, and it would be ridiculous to claim otherwise. So the author/screenwriters came up with the concept of a moron who happens to stumble upon many such moments by blind luck. Forrest never seeks our admiration. He doesn't consider himself fortunate to have been our tour guide through a changing America. He's just a guy who likes a girl and wants to be with her all the time. History happens around him, not because of him, and he really couldn't be bothered with it all. He doesn't dream of exposing the Watergate break-in or becoming a millionaire tech shareholder. He simply wants Jenny.

Like Forrest, we didn't ask to live through the tumultuous Sixties and Seventies. We were just pursuing our own ambitions, but the history happened all around us.

If you can't appreciate allegory, you'll never understand Forrest Gump (or many other great movies). The review cited above is as clueless as it is verbose. The author missed the point entirely.

[cearleywine]

They Live, Wall-E, The Big Lebowski, Eraserhead, Punch Drunk Love, all great in my opinion.

[outland]

Without too much reflection (it's hard to boil either category down to only three):

:thu::thu:Two Thumbs up high:

The Dark Knight

Bladerunner

Brazil

:facepalm::facepalm:Two Thumbs 6 feet under:

The Blair Witch Project

Bram Stoker's Dracula

Batman and Robin

[Caulk Rocket]

The boomers were the worst generation ever. This movie glorified the dumbest boomer of all. Lowest-common-denominator thinking is the result of the boomer "revolution". Of course, you've heard this all from me before, so I decided to post a review that doesn't even mention the word "boomer". :cool:

I can understand the wholesomeness of a movie about a man who had nothing else in the world to offer but honesty and unconditional love, but that's already cheesy enough. Adding reductionism to important historical events on top of that made the film so cheesy I wanted to hang myself with a tetherball line.

[Philo Beddoe]

Best: Raiders of The Lost Ark..Terminator 2..Unforgiven and sorry but have to throw in one more:Silence of The Lambs. Worst: A Fish named Wanda..Max Payne and 2 totally retarded Kevin Costner movies: Water World and The Post Man.

[gogo]

I don't claim 'best/worst', just favorites.

favorites:
Fargo
Broadway Danny Rose
The Conversation

least favorites are heavily hyped 'comedies' that never made me laugh:
There's Something About Mary
Crocodile Dundee
White Men Can't Jump

(re:Forrest Gump - where's the puking smilie?)

[davidaneff]

Best (or favorite, anyway):
Citizen Kane
Royal Tennenbaums
Big Lebowski

Worst:
Deuce Bigelow, Male Gigilo (except for when he trapezes into the aquarium-that was pretty great)

Beautiful Mind- I was so mad when that movie won best picture because there were so many great movies that year (see royal tennenbaums above, not that the academy awards are that much better than the grammys.) The filmmaking was more competent than your typical terrible movie but it took on this high moral tone like it was an important piece of art. It pretended to be a biography but it basically took a fascinating life and changed majorly important details to give it more of a traditional hollywood story arc. And it used mental illness as a plot twist (ha ha fooled you, none of that happened- he's actually crazy) which I found very offensive... and I am very hard to offend. And I thought the dialogue was stilted and it somehow won a screenwriting award too.

Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever (never actually saw it, but I'm pretty confident on this one.)

[mewithoutlouie]

Favorites:

There Will Be Blood
City of God
Pulp Fiction

Honorable Mentions: The Outlaw Josie Wales, Pi, Adaptation, Sweet and Lowdown

Downright Horrible:

1) There Will Be Blood

I can see how a Beautiful Mind could have disappointed you but how is that grounds for ranking it on your worst of list? Have you seen Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans, or Troll 2? :lol:

[davidaneff]

I know there's much worse out there but most bad movies know they're bad and embrace the fact. Sometimes that makes them fund to watch in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.
Beautiful Mind, on the other hand, was (in my opinion) mediocre but had this irritating air of self-importance. And then it actually won a whole bunch of awards. So while not as awful as Epic Movie probably is, it makes my bottom 3. I should probably say it's among my "most hated" rather than "all time worst."

[Shamuspizzbutt]

Best:
Pi
Casablanca
Return of the Dragon (yeah, the one where Norris gets worked..."you mean to tell me you don't know what chinese spare ribs are?!?")

Worst:
Lambada The Forbidden Dance(only movie I ever walked out of the theater on)
Eraser Head (this could have gone on my best list too)
Aurthur (the one with dudly moore as a drunk...hated it!)

[tmdguitar]

+2 on waking life

best:
science of sleep
american psycho
ghost world

worst:
megalodon
dude wheres my car
johnson family vacation

[sixthsense]

Worst:
1.The Unborn (please just stay the fuck away from this bs movie)
2. House of the Dead
3. STREET FUCKING FIGHTER!!!! With Jean C. Van Damme (duh what else)

[shreddersteve]

Holy shit, so many people on this forum have terrible taste in movies.

Best:
1. Mulholland Drive
2. The Shining
3. Monty Python's Holy Grail


Worst:
1. The Mask (Jim Carry's worst movie)
2. Clerks (I don't care what anyone says Kevin Smith is the most overrated director of all time)
3. 90% of all big budget Hollywood cookie cutter movies.

[shreddersteve]

I can see how a Beautiful Mind could have disappointed you but how is that grounds for ranking it on your worst of list? Have you seen Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans, or Troll 2? :lol:

Troll 2!!! :D:D:D:D

I forgot about that piece of shit! LOL!

[weblover50]

Best movies

Dostana,yuvraaj and oye lucky lucky.

[Swingfinger]

I thought The Mask was one of his better comedies...

[shreddersteve]

I thought The Mask was one of his better comedies...
:freak:
:facepalm:

[criss737]

2. rush hour
3. the mask

[janicejan]

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1053779-mask/

[EvilTwin]

Best:
Wall-E

Not just great for an animated film...great period.

Top 3:
The Godfather
Schindler's List
Pulp Fiction

Bottom 3:
The Godfather, part III (compared to the first two...what a drop off)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
Caddyshack II

[flemtone]

Best:
1 - The Maltese Falcon
2 - Witness for the Prosecution
3 - Bringing Up Baby

Worst:
1 - Titanic
2 - There's Something About Mary
3 - Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home

Oh, and I have to make a mention to a movie that hasn't made it to anyone's list yet, but it was the precursor to films like 'Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail' - that's Woody Allen's "What's Up Tiger Lily". It's truly Theater of the Absurd.

[tarzanalog]

Condemned Theater (Noxious):

2008 - Disaster Movie & Meet the Spartans - TIE
2003 - Gigli... UnBenifferAble
2000 - Battlefield Earth... Travolting


Masterpiece Theater (Classics):

1964 - Dr. Strangelove... - Quintessential Peter Sellers
1975 - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Perfect in almost EVERY way
1971 - A Clockwork Orange - I dubbed this to cassette and ran the audio nonstop in my car during high school... explains a lot


Disasterpiece Theater (So BAD... They're GOOD!):

1975 - A Boy and His Dog - Don Johnson upstaged by a DOG
1975 - Deathrace 2000 - Herman the German was my State Rep. for awhile!
1975 - Rollerball - James Caan... or Caan't?!?

(I was going to put Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death from '89 but once I had the first two I thought I'd go for the '75 hattrick.)


Hairpiece Theater (Guilty Pleasures)

1980 - Caddyshack - "Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"
1999 - Office Space - "There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys."
1977 - Slap Shot - "Reg, Reg, that reminds me. I was coachin' in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who was a terrible masturbator, you know, couldn't control himself. Why, he would get deliberate penalties so he could get over in the penalty box all by himself and damned if he wouldn't... you know..."


:thu:

[serolF]

Obviously just my opinion:

Best:
1) Oldboy (legitimately great movie from technical perspective)
2) Battle Royale
3) Man Bites Dog

Good choices. I own all three. Battle Royale is awesome, as is Oldboy. The fight scene in Oldboy down the corridor is the best fight scene of all time.

My choices:

Best:

Fight Club
Ferris Bueler's Day Off
Citizen Kane
Karate Kid (sentimental choice)
Worst:

Rollerball (the remake)
Reign of Fire
Anything with Tyra Banks. God I hate her.:mad:

[Swingfinger]

Man Bites Dog was pretty good but nowhere near one of my favorites.

I really couldn't make a ranked list but some of my favorites are

Memento
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
The Shawshank Redemption
Chinatown
The Royal Tenenbaums
Cool Hand Luke
I also have a huge soft spot for anything by Richard Linklater but my favorites are Before Sunset/Before Sunrise

[Baddass]

The Godfather,Blue velvet,:eek:{ You gotta love Frank}and High plain's drifter which I have seen about a thousand time's are 3 of my fav's.3 worst would be Batman and Robin[just standing in front of the camera doing nothing George Clooney :facepalm:is overacting, horrible just a horrible actor:rolleyes::],Plan 9 from outer space,Maximum overdrive[ big el sucko for this one]::po

[Poker99]

The Mask can't be Jim Carrey's worst movie since Cameron Diaz is SMOKING in that film :love:


Best :

Alien
The Black Stallion
Batman Begins

Worst :

DareDevil
Catwoman
The Watchmen

[guitarsjb]

Best:
Silence of the Lambs
We were soldiers

Anyway, while I'm here.... :o


Best:

1: Life Is Beautiful
2: Twelve Angry Men
3: Star Wars (1977)

Worst:

Clerks :o

[jayguy]

Dude wheres my car has got to be the worst movie ever, absolute garbage. I could sit in a pub with my pals, each of us drink 15 pints then write a script. Odds on it would be better than the above film.

[The Real MC]

Best:

1) Mississippi Burning (intense emotion-stirring drama)
2) WarGames (final sequence at NORAD is edge of the seat suspense every time I watch it)
3) Italian Job (Mark Wahlberg/Charleze Theron remake, not the original)

Worst:

1) any sequel with a main character omitted due to death of actor
2) Big Lebowski (pointless waste of two hours)
3) just about any movie based on a comic book superhero character

[wokeye]

Best:

Blade Runner
Goodfellas
Mulholland Drive

Worst:

Mamma Mia (how the fuck I ended up watching this shit I will never know).
Pearl Harbour
Titanic

[olla86]

Lovely and Amazing (2002)
Love on the Run (1979)
Mr. and Mrs. Bridge (1990)-are the best

I Know Who Killed Me
The Postman
Freddy Got Fingered- are the worst!

[Otis McGonigle]

Lovely and Amazing (2002)
Love on the Run (1979)
Mr. and Mrs. Bridge (1990)-are the best

I Know Who Killed Me
The Postman
Freddy Got Fingered- are the worst!

`I Know Who Killed Me` Yes, that was crap.

I think I have a harder time picking the truly bad from movies that are just mindless claptrap. `Dude, Where`s my Car?` not a great movie, but it wasn`t trying to be. IKWKM was trying to be a good movie and it was unwatchable. My wife brought that home and I knew in about ten seconds...crap!

Top three? Impossible to call so I`ll just throw out three movies that I really like:

Casablanca
Silence of the Lambs
The Godfather

Movies that I dislike, intensely:

I Know Who Killed Me:)
Freddy Got Fingered (I could write an essay on why I hate this one)
Battlefield Earth


Honorable mention:
Battle Beyond the Stars (Ha, John-Boy Skywalker. I would like to hate this movie, it does suck, but for some reason I can`t hate it. George Peppard was kind of cool in it, and the movie was so mild that it just doesn`t inspire the hatred that, by all rights, it should deserve.

[whoshotwhointhe]

Favorites:

There Will Be Blood

[Swingfinger]

I just watched Before Sunset and before Sunrise again.... forgot how much I love those two films.


off the top of my head...... Memento, Cool Hand Luke, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, Fargo, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Truman Show, Let The Right One In, The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Clockwork Orange, The Pianist, Taxi Driver, Requiem for a Dream, Pulp Fiction, Office Space, Groundhog day, Evil Dead 1+2

The least enjoyable movie I've ever seen was Son of the Mask.... It wasn't even funny bad... it made me want to stab a kitten.

[oldgordy]

best: fight club, american beauty, fear and loathing in las vegas
worst: Gladiator, Gladiator, Gladiator

And onlican: how could you not like Borat? It was hilarious. I have yet to see Bruno but I really want to.

[Swingfinger]

best: fight club, american beauty, fear and loathing in las vegas

How is Fight Club your favorite movie and Gladiator your least favorite :confused: it seems like the type of person that enjoys one of those would like the other as well.

[TomNocturnal]

I'm with dkhp124. I love to watch movies and have seen hundreds and hundres... It's almost impossible to name your three favourite/worst movies of all time. What would one base one's decision upon? There's so much to consider. Perhaps your three favourite/worst movies, in a given amount of genres would have been a better question?

If I was held at gunpoint, and made to pick my top 3, they would probably be:
1. Croupier
2. Donnie Darko
3. The Matrix

(Perhaps replacing The Matrix with Disney's: Alice In Wonderland)

For my 3 worst... hmmm.
1. Zombie Strippers
2. Cabin Fever
3. Blazing Saddles

There are just too many greats. You can't just pick three. What about:
Jurassic Park, The Bourne Trilogy, High Fidelity, Shooter, Leon, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Apocolypse Now, The Usual Suspects, The Shining, Fight Club, The Big Lebowski, Shaun of the Dead, Groundhog Day, Terminator & T:2, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Clerks & Clerks II, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Serendipity, Tin Cup, KingPin, Definitely Maybe, Juno, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Ace Ventura I & II, Max Payne, American History X, The Shawshank Redemption, The Rock, Rain Man, The Running Man, Lawnmower Man, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, L.O.T.R Trilogy, Alien Trilogy, Saving Private Ryan, Requiem For A Dream, Back To The Future Trilogy, Braveheart, Sincity, The Punisher, E.S.O.T.S.M, Garden State, Transformer (I, II & Animated), Twelve Monkeys, Evil Dead II, The Thing, Trainspotting, Ghostbusters I & II, Lost In Translation, Dumb & Dumber and Home Alone I & II...

:facepalm:

SAW 6

The worst hmm... i just cant decide due to the fact that it is too many!

[VitoVaiLynchen]

My best 3 are Aliens, Avatar and The Terminator (Cameron fanboy, I know:poke:) Plenty more I love, but the main reason I decided to reply to this lay in my worst list...

7 Mummies (easily the worst movie I've ever seen)
The Last Horror Movie
Rest Stop

those 3 movies are flat out terrible:o

Is Rest Stop the one where they keep going back to the bathroom and the chick keeps seeing/hearing shit in there? And there's a weird religious family in a trailer too? Yes that movie does suck ass.

[Slave631]

Trainspotting is the greatest movie ever made.

[Davo17]

Trainspotting is the greatest movie ever made.

Its damn good, and very impressive. But best ever? Ironically I got to say "Its not bad but its not great either is it" with a heavy Scottish accent today. I know what you are thinking and yes, it was awesome.
