Land of the Dead
Transformers (I think I just have an intense hatred for Shia LaBeouf. I just skipped from one CGI scene to the next)
Grown Ups 1 & 2
Daredevil
 
What's the one where K Costner plays a pitcher going for a no hitter? You think it's going to be a baseball movie but no, it's a sappy chick-flick through and through.
 
I might catch some flak for this, but I hated Das Boot. 6 hours of old, boring movie only to have such an awful ending! I was going to say it but I couldn't get the spoiler tags to work and didn't want to ruin it for anyone who might actually want to endure this masterpiece...

I was so mad. I was home sick that day and had nothing better to do, otherwise I may have invested in some of those personal time travel devices to try and get my time back. At least it would have been entertaining.

Das Boot was such a great movie! I have only ever watched it in German with subtitles. Maybe that was the difference?

Man, some people on here have no concept of how awful some movies truly can be.

We are talking COSMOS: War of the Planets, or Manos: Hands of Fate level bad! Das Boot would sweep the awards categories compared to the utter crap that is those movies!
 
I vaguely remembered a movie from childhood the other week and I thought to myself 'I need to watch this again' so I obtained a copy of it.

Oh Heavenly Dog! starring Chevy Chase (voicing the dog).

Chevy gets killed and comes back as a dog and goes around trying to track down his murderer.

This was wayyyy worse than 6 year old me remembered it.

I made it in about 10 minutes before I fast-forwarded through it and watched a minute or two here and there and then made it to the ending.

I'll spare you the trouble of actually watching it. The ending: Chevy Chase has a love interest in the beginning of the movie, who is also killed. She comes back as a cat in the end and they are 'in love' as dog and cat. This is disturbing and also an awful payoff for watching this wretched movie.

slight redeeming factor: Jane Seymour in her prime
 
FYI I started watching Rubber last night on netflix. I think my daughter watched it this past weekend. I'd heard bad things about it, so I had to check it out. I got about as far as when it started finding out about it's psychic powers before I turned it off for "sexy time".

Still, it wasn't so bad that I won't go back and try to finish it...

The movie, I mean.
 
Dragon Wars.

The movie is 1/2 in English 1/2 in Korean, has a nonsensical plot, piss poor cgi, and the ending that makes less than zero sense.

These are exactly what belong here. The rest of you need to watch more terrible films.

And, about Das Boot...FFS, this is the kind of guy who puts a super model in the I think they're hot thread...

"What Dreams May Come", with Robin Williams. While it was beautiful in scenery, and the book was great, the movie sucked. I didn't make it all the way through.

I haven't seen a movie in years, though, so I don't know about any newer ones that suck. :D
"What Dreams May Come" is one of my favorite movies. I plan to watch it again, because of the irony. But my liking it is probably affected by my background in the mental health field. I worked for several years doing crisis intervention, both face to face and over the phone.

"Nightwings" gets my nomination for the worst movie. It can't even make it to the "campy" level.
 
Not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but there's a podcast called How Did This Get Made? where they watch a "bad" movie and discuss the ins and outs at length. very funny.

First Pokeyman. It may have been the last but I remember seeing it with my kids when they were small and thinking what kind of dope the people that made the movie were smoking. It just made zero sense.
 
Nice thread and very useful for me since I don't watch a whole lot of movies. Like the OP mentioned: Snowpiercer was horrible but I actually watched it to the end. There was another one called Upside Uown with Kirsten Dunst. I had to shut that one off it was so bad and scientifically annoying.
 
Do you hate the movie itself or just the ending?

Seems like that one takes an unfair amount of flak because people don't like the way it ends.

I enjoyed the movie, don't have a beef with the ending

my complaint: [spoiler in white font]

I really wanted to see the shootout in which Llewelyn (Josh Brolin) was killed. the aftermath looked like it was pretty epic. plus so much time was spent following his character, not to see his exit from the story was a big letdown

[/spoiler]
 
There are so many terrible movies. One that I think is bad that others might actually know and possibly enjoy is "Last of the Mohicans." It should have been called visual ambien because it always puts me to sleep. All I recall from the 15 min I could keep my eyes open for was a lot of running in the woods. Tried 3 times to watch it to. Guess I should buy it in case of insomnia or something.
 
Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters.

I bought it out of the Walmart bargin bin on a whim and it was horrible. It is a cantonese kung fu vampire movie. The vampires are rather badass but they start out as goofy zombies (weird hopping things) that manage to eat some blood.
 
I'm currently reading Christopher Moore's books. I think each and every one so far could be made into a fun movie.

Although with a monster that rises out of the sea and humps fuel tankers and turns itself into a mobile home... It might just end up on this list!
 
Do bad movies we like qualify?

I was fond of watching things like The Ghoul's presentation of "Attack of the Mushroom People", back in the day. This may have been in part due to the funny voiceover lines that the Ghoul would insert at various points in the movie.
<overdey!>

On the other hand, I don't care for most horror movies in general. Too contrived and too formulaic. It drives me nuts when the girl is running from the monster, runs down a hallway, passes by the door, three windows and a shotgun only to get to the end of the hallway, fall and twist her ankle and drag herself into the closet ... and at that, no doubt one of those closets with a louvered front-panel that you can just see through the cracks of. Please.
