Talk:List of films considered the worst: Difference between revisions

Carry On Columbus

I was just wondering whether this film should belong on the list. The Irish Times review states nothing about it being the worst film ever made, and I'm questioning whether "worst British film ever made" translates into "worst film of all time" (although there are quite a few entries for British films already on the list). What do you guys think? --67.242.156.6 (talk) 01:55, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

As I understand it, while Carry On Columbus is regarded as one of the nadirs of British cinema, I haven't been able to find any RS reference to it being "one of the worst films ever". 176.61.97.121 (talk) 13:08, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

I just wanted to chime in and say that I also support the removal for the reasons stated above. We should probably remove Bio-Dome as well. One critic says it is the worst Hollywood movie ever made, which is close, but in the same league as being the worst of British cinema. The lowest Metacritic score helps its chances, but in the past we haven't counted 0% RT and low Metacritic scores as being equivalent to being the worst ever made.LM2000 (talk) 19:51, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

The Swarm- "Simply the worst film ever made" ?

According to this Guardian article, upon the release of the The Swarm in Britain, the Sunday Times called it "simply the worst film ever made". [1] So it probably qualifies. 176.61.97.121 (talk) 17:46, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

It made it's way into the Official Razzie Movie Guide. Star-News said: "'The Swarm' may not be the worst movie ever made. I'd have to see them all to be sure. It's certainly as bad as any I've seen." I know I've seen it listed in other places, but these three sources should be adequate for inclusion now.LM2000 (talk)

Oh, it was in The Golden Turkey Awards too.LM2000 (talk) 02:01, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

That's My Boy

Shouldn't be there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.32.73 (talk) 23:47, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Professional reviews cited in the article say it should. Why do you say it shouldn't? - SummerPhD (talk) 00:13, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

The Starving Games is the Worst Film in 2013

Can you add The Starving Games it have 0% on Review aggregation in Rotten Tomatoes. Joe Leydon of Variety called it a "stillborn spoof" and "desperately unfunny". Scott Foy of Dread Central rated it 1.5/5 stars and wrote, "The printed word cannot fully express my dismay at having experienced this latest alleged comedy". Gabe Torio of Indiewire wrote that the film "is as terrible as you think it is". Max Nicholson of IGN called it "a horrible, horrible piece of cinema that needn't be watched by any person ever." Fred Topel of Crave Online rated it 1.5/10 and called it "more of the same, only worse." So you can add this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.65.64 (talk) 08:12, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Sounds pretty bad, but we need reliable sources directly calling it the worst film ever. - SummerPhD (talk) 18:10, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

The Cat in the Hat is the Worst Film in History

Can you Add The Cat in the Hat as the Worst Film, This Film is make a Dr. Seuss Film a Kill. It Reward like Seven of Them, That will to make it not a success. That Rhyme in the Book is the Best, But that Film base on the Same Name is the Worst. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.65.64 (talk) 09:23, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

No, we need sources. (You seem to not read responses to your questions.) - SummerPhD (talk) 14:30, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

A Beautiful Life (2008 film)

I am shocked, shocked, I tell you, that this film is not included in this list! O the shame! Bearian (talk) 16:37, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I can see there's a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score, but did any of the reviews explicitly call it out as "the worst film of all time"? --McGeddon (talk) 17:06, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Foodfight!

Would Foodfight! qualify for this list? I've seen a lot of things on the Internet, including some critic reviews, calling it the worst animated movie ever. Alphius (talk) 18:43, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Can you provide some examples of critics calling it the worst movie ever made? I don't see any in the article.LM2000 (talk) 20:27, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Indiewire called Foodfight! " one of the worst animated films ever made." [2]. Also, Nathan Rabin covered this movie for his "My Year of Flops" series, criticising it for " The grotesque ugliness of the animation alone would be a deal-breaker even if the film weren’t also glaringly inappropriate in its sexuality, nightmare-inducing in its animation, and filled with Nazi overtones and iconography even more egregiously unfit for children than the script’s wall-to-wall gauntlet of crude double entendres and weird intimations of interspecies sex"...and saying "Foodfight"! doesn’t just represent one of the entertainment world’s most appalling lapses of taste, restraint, and judgment in recent memory; it’s one of those fall-of-civilization moments." [3] Which is pretty close to calling it one of the worst films ever (a movie so poor it represents a "fall of civilization?"). 176.61.97.121 (talk) 21:54, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Maybe it's just me, but the last one seems harsh, and a little bit hyperbolic. The first one is close, but it's regulated to being just one of the worst animated films ever, and we cover all of film without splitting into genres.LM2000 (talk) 01:54, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm no administrator or anything, but I'd say it definitely qualifies. --Matthew (talk) 20:50, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

If it were true that this had the dubious and distinct honor of being the "first and maybe the only movie with a negative score on Rotten Tomatoes" then I would agree with you. But dealing with the actual sources that we have now I think we're looking too far into things if we're saying that the "worst movie ever made" can be extracted from them.LM2000 (talk) 21:30, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Foodfight! needs to be on this list. It is starting to make the rounds on the internet now and many video critics are hailing it the worst animated film of all time. I know the Nostalgia Critic isn't the best source for this but his video on the film shows just how awful this movie is.Benbuff91 22:11 22 April 2014 (EST)

We still need reliable sources calling it the worst movie ever. We simply don't have that. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:27, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Hey Even JonTron in his Review of Foodfight! think this Film is One of the Worst Film's of all Time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.88.176 (talk) 03:57, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Again, we are looking for reliable sources/professional reviews. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:47, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Hollywood News calls it "by far the crappiest piece of crap I have ever had the misfortune to watch." Link EamonnPKeane (talk) 15:37, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Who made this page? This is just idiotic

You guys make a list of films, that are named in some... magazines or newspapers, as the worst... Those articles were written by people, people like the guy that made a statement about hunger games, above me... WHAT makes the opinion of those 100 year old reviews more reliable then the people that write HERE? Some of the movies listed are AWESOME, and some of the worst movies ever are just missing. Just google "worst director ever" and you will find a guy named Uwe Boll. Where are ALL HIS MOVIES for example? Every single one is 1000 times worse then what's combined here. Also, where is that movie that was in like... every movie store, where the homeless men get abducted by aliens, and suddenly, them barfing, makes women horny? ALSO not here. Whoever made this idiotic list, you know shit about bad movies. Btw... could also tell you 1000 sites that say that the Twilight saga sucks, why is it not here?
