Worst movie you've ever watched all the way through

I didn't see a thread like this yet, and it seemed like a decent idea.

I'm looking for the most bafflingly stupid pieces of cinema you've ever seen start to finish. It doesn't count if you walked out, turned it off, or changed the channel.

Bonus points if you paid to see it, or if you dragged someone else along

Two come to mind for me. The first is Cage. It was made in 1989, and it stars Lou Ferigno as a brain damaged Vietnam vet forced into an underground fighting ring.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097003/

The other is Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist. I saw this on cable. I don't know why I watched it all the way through. The only redeemable part of the movie was during the 20 seconds that the band plays, the bass tone is good. Every other aspect of the movie is god awful. I was pretty disappointed in myself for having watched the whole thing.

I think it was called "April Fool's Day". That was many many brain cells ago.

Eyes Wide Shut, by a long margin.

That doesn't include Elvira, Mistress of the Night flicks or MST3K, of course. I assumed you meant "real" movies, not ones that are supposed to suck.

If you didn't stipulate watching the entire movie, I would have said The Royal Tenenbaums. It apparently got pretty good reviews, but I just couldn't take it anymore and had to shut it off.

The Wicker Man remake with Nick Cage. My son and I sat and watched it, then we looked at each other just to confirm we both saw the same thing.


I've seen some really bad movies, this was exceptionally so.

Shoot 'Em Up. Yeah, I know it's a send-up of the whole "badass with a gun" genre, and it's a really good one at that, but that fact didn't make it hurt any less.

Salem's Lot, hands down.

I believe there are two versions of the film though, one shorter version and one longer. Unfortunatly, I saw the former and based off of what Ive heard, that extra footage is what makes the film terrible.

Wow, my taste is pretty different than a lot of folks I thought a few of these films were great. Worse movie I've recently made it all the way through would be Transformers. Hadn't seen a big grossing Hollywood movie that forced and terrible in a long long time, but that's probably just because I don't go to so many. I don't think there was a single thing to compliment in that film.

Point Break

O.K., Probably not the worst.
Keanu Reeves jumping out of an airplane without a parachute is like, totally plausible, man.

Torque

a movie made by people who never drove a motorcycle for people who never drove a motorcycle


I kept watching it till the end because it got worse and worse, and I wanted to see what was the worst they could do.
In the end the makers didn't even bothered to dress up KTM Dukes as racing bikes but used crappy CGI that would make most videogames in the 90s be ashamed.


Also, storyline...
A biker supposedly killed a drug dealer, and the police goes out of their way to catch him, over 3 states or so.

I actually really liked Point Break! Hahaha.

For me, I think W was the worst movie I've ever endured start to finish. The only reason I did is because I was invited to a friend's house to watch it with him and his wife, and didn't want to get up and split mid-flick. I expected to really enjoy the movie, but it was absolutely dumber than dumb!

Moulin Rouge. No, wait! My wife and I both walked out in the middle of that POS!!

Burn After Reading. I kept waiting for something to happen, and it never did. It looked like it had potential, so I stuck it out, but it was a major disappointment!
