Movies you want to erase from your brain

Sound of Music

Gotta agree with you on that one, although for me, it's not so much the movie per se as the source material. I wouldn't want to suffer through a stage production of that bucket of treacle either. It's the only Rodgers & Hammerstein musical I really can't stand.

I know what you mean. It's the only time I ever actually rooted for the Nazis to show up.

Reminds me of the old joke about a performance of The Diary of Anne Frank that was so bad that when the Nazis showed up, the audience shouted, "She's in the attic!"

Actually, the older I get, the more I find EVERYTHING reminds me of an old joke.

I kind of liked AI, although it did have its faults.


No second on my Caligula vote? Has anyone here even seen it? I assumed that plenty of people would jump on board with that one. A lot of movies mentioned here are indeed bad, but that movie was nothing short of an atrocity, and many are Oscar worthy compared to it.

I'd put Caligula in the "So bad it's hilarious" category. Yes, it's awful. But it does make me laugh.

How can you guys hate a movie where the venerable Malcolm McDowell shadow fists a guy? That's classic cinema, right there.

Don't forget the midget porn!

Men Who Stare at Goats. Luckily for me it was a midnight showing so most of it has been erased from my mind

Spice World

Charlie Sheen flick, 'Terminal Velocity' Awful, awful movie.

Strangeland. Captain Howdy could not be erased from my brain fast enough.

Same with me. That is, if I can remember the joke.

Battlefield Earth. I hope to never watch it again.

Why are so many people choosing movies they dislike as movies they want to erase from their brain? Me, I would prefer to remember the really bad movies, so that I know to avoid them in future. By removing the really bad movies from your brain, you'll have forgotten why they were bad in the first place, so you'd only end up watching them again and feeling the pain again.

I don't want my pain taken away - I NEED MY PAIN!

It's the bad movies we watch that make us who we are!

Bowfinger

What made you hate this one? I agree it wasn't great, but I enjoyed it.

I just thought it was terrible. Maybe I was just expecting to much from Martin and Murphy. For years after my wife and I would dismiss a film by saying "Well, it was no Bowfinger" It became a benchmark for bad.

Oh. For me, the worst part was Heather Graham. An actress I usually like, but not in this.

Some parts of it were funny though.
