    Default Movies that belong in the bin

    So we've seen your top 5, your best Si Fi of all time, but what are the 5 worst films you have had the displeasure of

    For me it's the following

    The Human Centipede (give this a wide berth it's just plain sick)
    The Black Swan (fell asleep it was so boring)
    Bruno (Sasha Baron Cohen is funny as hell but this was painful to watch)
    Easy Rider (WTF a couple of junkies in real life made a film about junkies some great photography but c'mon boring)
    Highlander 2 (why ohh why did they bother)


    As the late Colonel Sanders once said
    "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken!!"

    There's so many.! I'll limit it to stuff I saw at the cinema when it came out:

    '76 remake of King Kong (I thought it was worse than the original with worse effects and I was only seven)
    Terminator 2 (Guessed how it would finish - couldn't wait for it to finish)
    Predator 2 (low budget shows badly, terrible performance from Glover)
    Little Shop of Horrors (nobody told me it was a fecking musical)
    Freejack (Jaggers opening line got a big laugh - it wasn't meant to...)


    Mike - don't know how you can say Easy Rider is one of the worst - I love that film - if you ain't seen it in ten years give it another go.

    Wow, what a moody bunch in here! Star wars? Tron? Easy Rider? Definitely don't deserve to be in the bin. Let me offer some better examples:
    1) Ultraviolet - a plot as thin as the lead actress (Miss Jovovich)
    2) Gothika - on TV recently, I switched over as soon as it turned out the lead investigator was the best friend of the victim, and his first question to Halle Berry was a whined, "Why'd you do it?"
    3) The first two Chronicles of Narnia remakes (I haven't seen the third) - ouch! Why adapt these books if you're going to ignore the allegorical aspects?
    4) Aladdin 4: Jafar May Need Glasses - I mean wut?
    Ok, really:
    4) Shoot 'Em Up
    5) Yeah, any film by Ricky Gervais. Gotta agree with that one.

    Mostly I'd agree, and he's not doing himself any favours with 'Mr Popper's Penguins' from the trailers I've seen.

    But then there's The Truman Show, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and Man on the moon.. All *VERY* good films, especially the last 2.
