Anyone with an ounce of sense will know that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a masterpiece and will be doing the rounds in fifty years.

My mum's favourite film, personally I've never watched it and I've no desire too either.

Years ago, I went to see Here We go round the Mulberry Bush. It was hopeless.

However, as I only went to see Judy Geeson, it was OK by me!

1. Dogville
2. Matrix Revolutions
3. Fargo

Number 3 is probably okay, but I couldn’t get past the accent. The “yar” 5 times per minute was too much for me, so I only got 20 minutes in. I should probably give it another go.

I dont think i've seen the film Rita, Sue and Bob. I've seen Rita, Sue and Bob 2 but didn't think it was that good. Do you prefer the original or Rita, Sue and Bob 2?

I didn’t even think there was a second one. Not sure where they could have went with it.

It was a cheesy bit of comedy which was quite relevant to the times.

I believe the second one was a lot more popular than the original. I think you're the first person Ive come across who has actually seen "Rita, Sue & Bob" whereas I know a fair few people who have seen "Rita, Sue & Bob 2"

1.Blair witch project

2.Blair witch project

3.Blair witch project

Truly, truly shocking and an insult to anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

If you haven't seen it, give it a go and see how long you last. We walked out of the cinema
after half an hour.

I've had a think about this and Star Trek V is the one I've watched the least amount of times of all the Trek films, so I'll agree it's pretty bad

Insurrection was quite good I thought, Nemesis better than V...

Yes after the brilliant First Contact, the TNG movies failed and killed the movies for a while. But, Still loving the 2nd season of Star Trek Picard

Now this I totally get. I thought it was a good film and enjoyed it, so essentially I disagree but can understand the opposite opinion with this one.

I just watched Fargo (the Coen one) because it was highly recommended by someone.

However I didn't think a great deal of it, pretty violent but with such a dry sense of humour (if that's what it was) that I didn't feel it, and therefore I couldn't see any purpose to the film.

You had me with Man Overboard as I’d never heard of it. Found this on IMDb, if it is the film you intended the world agrees with you, going off its’ rating. The lowest score I've ever seen on IMDb.

Yeah, Dogville is hard work as is most of Lars von Trier's stuff which I think is just pretentious for the sake if it.

That's the one. It was awful. I don't mind most of Sandler's stuff but this was just shockingly bad.

It might be useful to introduce some criteria.

To start with, what is meant by "worst"?

"Worst" because of the:

a) plot;

b) screenplay;

c) acting;

d) directing ?

I'm not sure the "genre" can be a reason in itself. I don't like all these comic book films but millions do. I sat through the latest "Star Wars" film with Adam Driver. But only because my son wanted to go to watch it. I think Adam Driver's a good actor but to be quite honest anybody could "star" in these films.

I also endured the penultimate Spiderman effort. Jake Gyllenhaal was in it. He's an excellent actor in my humble opinion but the money was there and he sleptwalked his way through it. He alternates though, making independent films where he'll be paid 1% of what he was paid for the Spiderman thing.

The special effects in these films are amazing but I just get bored of them. But each to their own.

I cannot abide musicals but were I to watch either version of "West Side Story" and say it was one of the worst films I've seen just wouldn't be fair. Or valid.

Yep another Von Trier film - no real artistic merit, just pretension and forced shock value.

i rather liked the idiots.

it was certainly better than mutiny on the buses.

1973, in Mississipi, a well-intentioned cousin took me to a drive-in cinema.
We saw something where various angry-looking little Orientals would continually leap 10 feet into the air in order to kick some or other fat villain dressed in black. I was only 16, but even then amazed to see actual adults watching the stuff.

Title something like "entrance of the dragon".. Or something close to that.

Whatever it was, it made John Wayne's catologue of gormless berkery look almost intellectual.

Woah, this is going to be a controversial thread. Magnolia is one of the best films of its decade. So is No Country For Old Men, a Coen Brothers film. You're all being silly.

Totally agree. The Coen Brothers, along with Wes Anderson, bring a breathe of fresh air to an otherwise dank period in contemporary film making.

2. Judge Dredd (Sly Stallone) - nearly walked out of the cinema it was that poor
3. Ad Astra - So boring I struggled to stay awake
