Movies The worst film you ever saw.

Besides the utter garbage second Star Wars trilogy, I'm finding it hard to remember films that I thought were truly rubbish. I can't stand films that scream "we want an Oscar (tm) for this pleeeeeeeeeaaasee).
Then there are films that play fast and loose with history such as anything involving Mel Gibson and the English.

Max Payne, 
Jet Li's Fearless 
and the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Something like Monsters Ball?
Admittedly I am not a member of the target audience for this film, but Sin City is the latest that I walked out on. Relentless graphic violence, depicted in black and white to try to make it pass for "art" is not something fit for public display.
I agree that Borat was , to borrow a phrase from Blackadder Goes Forth, "a steaming pile of horse manure".

I've never walked out on a film but I there's been a couple of times when I've been tempted.
I don't see many films these days, but the remake of Brighton Rock that I saw on Saturday was, I thought, absolutely diabolical. The casting of Helen Mirren as Ida Arnold - bizarre (those who have read the book or seen the original film will hopefully understand what I mean).
The actors actually did their best, but with material such as: "You're good, and I'm bad. We're made for each other" - need I say more?

I thought Sin City was an excellent film, I do admit I am part of the target audience and I'm a huge fan of Frank Millers graphic novels. If you're not familar with the source material then it would seem like your average violent money spinner. If Brogan hasn't seen it I would definately recommend it as one of the best films to show off the capabilities of Blu-Ray.
I used to use it as one of the movies for doing just that
After watching the clip of Titanic II that FB posted, I was sorely tempted to walk out of my computer room..!

I have to nominate any one of the 3 Star Wars "Prequals". The original 3 Star Wars films are great in their own way even though when you look at them with something a little more than a casual eye there are more plot holes than you can shake a large (and I mean seriously large!!) stick at.
The three prequals are dull, unimaginative, boring, poorly acted
I loved the imagination that had gone into all the different worlds and peoples and scenarios - the planets were great, the monsters were great, the spaceships were great.
If only they'd taken the same care over the script (I read somewhere that Lucas refused to let anyone else - a team of professional script writers, say - do any of the script writing). He has a special gift of making otherwise talented actors into expressionless clumsy lumps of wood.
Poor.
