yeah you'd have to pay me to watch that. this is definitely the kind of list where trying to figure out the worst worst would lead to such a soul-crushing vortex of despair that i just stuck with the best worst.

Why don't we drop this subject? It's one thing to engage in badinage with these youngsters, but this sort of thing could be so easily misunderstood.

It's been ages since I've seen most of these films. Voted for the worst one I could remember seeing, which was Schindler's List.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 31 January 2013 14:59 (eleven years ago) link
haha what. There's certainly rong in the film, but no way is it worse than the abortion politics of The Cider House Rules or Kevin Spacey working out.

Saw Schindler's List with my church youth group. Some of them nearly got us all kicked out after they started laughing when the elderly prisoners were forced to run naked in the camps.

Schindler's List is in no way worse than Life Is Beautiful. My friend dragged me to that movie and I am still somewhat angry and resentful that I had to watch the whole thing.

Schindler's List is tortureporn with the point that everyone should just hope for rescue from rich white men. Life is Beautiful is funny.
Also, I haven't seen Life is Beautiful in ten years. It might be worse than I recall.

lol Beauty and the Beast
i would like to throw some hate BeauBea's way because fuck that movie, man.
― slam dunk, Thursday, 31 January 2013 21:51 (eleven years ago) link
from what i remember:
Dances with Wolves - not really that bad, in fact pretty good iirc.Ghost - not terrible but the best pic nom was a lol.The Godfather Part III - terrible rep but there are some pretty gripping scenes and some of the sumptuous atmosphere goes a long way, as do a few of the lines ("ZAZA!")Goodfellas - perfect film.The Silence of the Lambs - pretty great. i feel like the tone of this movie is so unsettling in so many ways. it makes wish demme would direct more suspense pics. Beauty and the Beast - i remember really enjoying this.Bugsy - idk, ok i suppose. JFK - stupid and amazingly entertaining. Unforgiven - nice stolid western. idk, i thought 'a perfect world' was the better eastwood pic from this period.A Few Good Men - sorkin wrote it, so...obvious and kind of stupid-clever.Schindler's List - genuinely great though a couple of those ending scenes are really just hammering home points that didn't need hammering.The Fugitive - amazing action film. andrew davis was so particularly good at capturing chicago in his films and populating them with little moments that felt vv real and skillfully incorporated into the story. much like mctiernan. In the Name of the Father - i liked this! but i prefer 'the boxer' as far as DDL irish troubles pics go.The Piano - i liked it i think.Forrest Gump - ehFour Weddings and a Funeral - great beginning iirc, then descends into bullshit.Pulp Fiction - great but not really my thing these days. i saw it nine times in the theater though.Quiz Show - fantastic.The Shawshank Redemption - i do like this one but its following and the meaning ppl assign to it is vv boondock saintsy somehow.Braveheart - solid flick. Apollo 13 - it just makes me want to watch 'the right stuff'.The English Patient - really good imo! Fargo - i like it but i've always thought it was a couple cuts below some of the coens' films, in partic 'miller's crossing', 'barton fink', 'blood simple', NCFOM, and 'a serious man'.Jerry Maguire - blah.Secrets & Lies - wonderful imo, made me a leigh stan.Titanic - once the iceberg hits it's pretty dope.As Good as It Gets - entertaining but kind of idiotic.The Full Monty - okay i guess.Good Will Hunting - no memory of this.L.A. Confidential - love it though it has some plot flaws.Shakespeare in Love - one of those movies that i feel like no one is ever going to return to, it's just so uninteresting.Saving Private Ryan - dreadful bookends and loads of spielberg malarkey. i still like it, but 'band of brothers' is so much better.The Thin Red Line - lots of malick malarkey but still compelling. beautiful movie. American Beauty - piece of shit.The Green Mile - not bad but i can't think about this w/o thinking about how doug hutchison's role as a stereotypical blackhearted creep was maybe a role he didn't allow to leave him.The Insider - amazing imo.The Sixth Sense - who cares.
i feel like i didn't see the worst of these, but from what i did see i probably dislike 'american beauty' most of all.

Fantastic script. One of the few films to use writers as characters without self-consciousness.

The role of Jules Winnfield proved difficult to cast, mainly because Samuel L. Jackson was under the impression the part was his, until he found out he was in danger of losing the role to Paul Calderon. Jackson flew out to L.A. for a last-ditch audition with Tarantino. “I sort of was angry, pissed, tired,” Jackson recalls. He was also hungry, so he bought a takeout burger on his way to the studio, only to find nobody there to greet him. “When they came back, a line producer or somebody who was with them said, ‘I love your work, Mr. Fishburne,’” says Jackson.
