Taxi.
You know, what really shitty Jimmy Fallon movie with Queen Latifah. I never saw it, but the trailer was enough to make me feel nauseous in ways no other film has. |

ones that might tarnish a legacy, an original better left untouched or ones that you just shutter at the thought that someone actually greenlit such a turd fest aka shames the movie business for all time. movies that are so bad that you feel bad for the children of the parents that were one of 1,000 in the world to actually see it in theaters...

Yeah, the inmates are fairly interchangeable, although it's easy to recognize Pete Postlethwaite. I don't know that I would necessarily have said that more Charles Dance would have improved the movie, but, hey, I'll take any criticism that isn't "it's not Aliens 2."
It isn't a knock against Charles Dance, he is a good actor, but his powers don't extend to fixing that script. |

Ditto. The success of Star Wars, along with the failure of Heaven's Gate, helped bring about the end of the intelligent, character-driven work that flourished in the 1970's.
Exactly...and it also ushered in Star Wars fanatics who are even more annoying than Trekkies:) |

Re: Movies you wish were never made?
Another vote for Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions.
For some reason, neither Alien 3 nor Resurrection ruined my enjoyment of the first movies, but the Matrix sequels did. |

Re: Movies you wish were never made?
TDK, imo, is the wrong movie to make an example of, hate it or not there are far more mindless action flicks that attempt far less for a greater budget.
But I get that complaint for the most part, and I get the Star Wars effects extravaganza "summer movie" bit. But I don't think I could handle 30 movies like The Wrestler based solely on good characters in recycled plots. |

Re: Movies you wish were never made?
Godzilla.

Re: Movies you wish were never made?
Johnny Mnemonic, because it meant that Neuromancer or any other cyberpunk movie never got made.
One from the Heart, it ended Coppola from ever being good again. Top Gun, although I kind of like it, because if basically lobotomized action movies for the next twenty years. |

Probably not but I can't say for sure. However, you are missing the point. It's not all the shitty, mindless, expensive movies that are made and screened because of the success of Star Wars, it's all the good movies with plot, character development, thoughtful examination of themes, etc., that never get made or never get screened because studios and multiplexes put all their eggs in the blockbuster basket. The Wrestler cost $6 million. The Dark Knight cost $185 million. I'd much rather have 30 movies like The Wrestler than a single TDK. Even if only five of them were any good it would be worth it.
You have to take the good with the bad. For every Raiders of the Lost Ark, Dark Knight or Jurassic Park there are going to be a bunch of Hancocks. |

Re: Movies you wish were never made?
Most sequels.
Most remakes. Most Adam Sandler movies. All Rob Scheider movies. |
