A silent movie, Picadilly. Bought it blind after reading numerous positive reviews. Bored me silly.

Yep, that happens in every "worst of" thread.

At the same time, it's a lot easier to hate something that other people love, because if you think a film is completely mediocre, then its popularity can be baffling. That's why movies like Napoleon Dynamite are so polarizing. On the other hand, most people are completely ambivalent towards Pootie Tang and The Master of Disguise, because they're bad movies that almost everyone recognizes as such.

However, even this reasoning has its limits. People who name The Godfather (for the movie, not the transfer) or Donnie Darko are just trolling and/or allowing a gut reaction to a movie overwhelm their critical judgment.

If this was another "worst movie you've seen" thread I'd agree with you. On the other hand, with blind buys I could actually understand the choices. You come on DVD Talk and hear a bunch of people praising some film that's widely considered a classic. You decide to buy it sight unseen and it turns out it's not your cup of tea at all. The majority of someone's collection is going to be movies they KNOW they like, so if they take a risk on something like The Godfather or Scarface and don't like it, by default it's going to be one of their least favorite DVDs in the collection.

ZOMBIE LAKE

Nazi zombies, the occasional gratuitous nekkid ladies scenes, all set in a European village, what's not to like?! Oh was I wrong. :(

3000 Miles to Graceland

How is naming Napoleon Dynamite okay but Donnie Darko is not? Can you be anymore subjective? I thought Donnie Darko was the single worst movie I've ever seen, ever. If you think my opinion or my post was a "troll" post because I don't like something you did.. feel free to use the button to report it to the moderators. I'm deadly curious to see what action they take.

Hey, I love Pootie Tang. I think it's hilarious. Batman Begins doesn't even come close to it.

"There will be many tie te-pees."

"No na-no my brotha."

Absolutely brilliant! :D

This is one of your WORST movies? Damn ... I thought it was one of the best films of 2005. IMO of course

Anyway, my worst DVD? I dunno ... if I don't like a DVD I either
a. don't buy it
b. sell it
or
c. give it away

Not sure what the worst movie in my collection is - I like the movies in my collection, but the worst DVD, by far is my public domain copy of Meet John Doe. Brutal. A great movie that got no attention on DVD - it really needs a proper release.

cheers,

It's not one of my worst movies, it's "the" worst.

Just looked through the list.

The absoulte worst is Blood Bath. It's one of those 10 movies in a single box thing. Someone gave it to me. This is one big fat turd.

Of the ones I bought, I'd have to say 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag. I didn't find any humor in this movie at all. Hated it from start to finish. It was a blind buy...think I paid around $4 for it.

Signs

Wait...are we talking about worst MOVIE or worst DVD??? I'm confused.

Medicine Man

It was a present for Christmas a few years back, and I can't get rid of it because it has no sale value.

Most people have picked movies but I'd imagine a bad TV show or concert or any non-movie DVD would qualify.

For worst per $, easily the CC release of The Rock.

For just plain worst all around, probably A Polish Vampire in Burbank.

For VHS: Bloodsucking Freaks
DVD: Dr. T and the Women.

Terrible movies.

Oh boy, I've got a few and it's hard for me to decide.

American Ninja 2&3 (but it's ninjas, who doesn't like ninjas?)
Cannonball Run II
Catwoman
The Grinch (can't even give this one away)
Hulk
Mars Attacks
Popeye
Supergirl

Ashamed to say; that I own a copy of "The Cat In THe Hat" w/ Mike Myers.

For me, the worst movie in my collection would have to be...The Cutting Edge. But, it's my wife's so I can't get rid of it.

Batman & Robin.

Damn box set.

Most people would probably say Police Academy 2/3 Double Feature. But I can't help it. I like the Police Academy movies. That disc was worth every penny of the $7 I paid for it.

Your not alone. How about Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. Was given to me long ago. Don't know if I'll ever watch it though.

I thought I would have nothing to add to this thread since I regularly clear out DVDs that I no longer want, then I remembered 'Die Another Day'. The main reason I have it is because it seems stupid to have every other Bond DVD except that one. There is no trade-in value for it either. I liked it in the theater, but a repeat viewing on DVD was much worse. Strangely, I liked DAD much better in the theater than the other Brosnan Bonds, but I have enjoyed those much more watching them again on DVD than I did in the theater. DAD does have some pretty good spots, so I'll probably watch it again someday and cringe through the iceberg CGI scene.

Somers' MUMMY movies. I only keep them because the neice always watches them when she visists.

Austin Powers in Goldmember
Matrix Reloaded
