Films to avoid
A bit of 'water cooler' discussion from the office has followed me home, and I'm extending it to here. For whatever reason/lack of reason, we ended up talking about mind-numbingly bad movies. The ones where you want to catch the producers and beat them within an inch of their lives (or worse) for stealing hours of your life, and otherwise lesseing your quality of life.
Our short list included:
Ishtar
Gigli
Waterworld
Barb Wire
Red Sonja
Zardoz
Robots.
What films would you include? The reasoning behind the decisions could be humorous/edifying.

The difference between immorality and immortality is "T". I like Earl Grey.

If you don't watch the bad movies you don't gain perspective.

Does not belong on list.
No, it wasn't edifying, but it was entertaining.

I like Ishtar!!! And I'm not afraid to admit it. It's a little long (okay, a lot long) where it shouldn't be, but I find it mostly amusing. Beatty/Hoffman made a terrible singing duo, but I get a kick out of that sort of thing (which is why I own both Golden Throats albums!)

I will also admit to watching Waterworld for a

The consensus in the office was that it was a complete waste of time and energy. But that's why I moved the thread here.

Definitely!
I'm the one who pulled "Howard the Duck" off the list, as the diner scene saves it from total **** to mostly ****.

You can easily add Brokeback Mountain to that list. A more utter bore than that could possibly be found on some planet in this universe

Indiana Jones II. About five minutes into it, I said to the large group of friends who went with me to see it, "if that blonde screams again, I'm outta here."
She screamed, I'm a woman of my word, so I went. My friends' best defense: It wasn't THAT bad

Never saw it.

Yes, it was trite. Costner's version of Robin Hood was also abhorrent.

Is Ishtar really that bad? I saw it in the theater (one of the few I guess) and remember enjoying it and laughing pretty hard in places. That was a long

The Devils (Oliver Reed plays a priest accused of warlockism, and Vanessa Redgrave plays a nun sexually obssessed with him during the Inquisition. I think she might even have a hump on her back). Lots of torture scenes.
Any Monday Night Movie of the Week with VICTIMS
Any comedy that isn't funny (I'm in a bad mood)
Those stilted 1930s too much dialogue with men in their Little Lord Faun
