The worst movies of all time
 

I think this has to be one of the worst movie of the 80's (and possibly of all time). "Can't Stop the Music" with the Village People and Steve Guttenberg

This review about the movie is hilarious :

Some quotes :

"Ah, the dear dead 70s, when disco was king. Too bad this movie came out in the dear dead 80s, when disco was not king. In fact, it came out at just the time when disco was being ridiculed in popular culture. Some movies probably couldn't be a hit at any time but their given day. Saturday Night Fever, for example, probably wouldn't have been a hit at any time other than the 70s, or the nostalgia-friendly 90s.

Can't Stop the Music came out at precisely the wrong time for a disco "musical" (and to use this term is to give the word a very broad definition) and that is the least of its problems. It wouldn't have been in a hit in any day or age. If Thomas Edison had rushed to the patent office with his movie camera and this on the film, they would have roughed him up and tossed him into the street. In fact, add up the quick facts on paper (Rosie, the woman in the "Bounty" commercials directs, the Village People sing, Bruce Jenner acts), and you'll wonder why anyone dared make this movie.

In a nutshell: Saturday Night Fever--box office smash, even critical praise, and a top-selling soundtrack. Allan Carr, producer of Can't Stop the Music , was also the producer of the hit Grease. Incidentally, I despise that movie and everything about it, but there's no denying that it made serious cash. That's why this sucker got made, and it's probably why Allan Carr was able to keep going after it bombed. Subsequent efforts by Mr. Carr seem to indicate that his Grease success was a lucky shot.

Before we begin, one very strange factoid...I found a copy of this movie at Rogers Video under the Gay and Lesbian section. Ah, you know you've got KWAM material when they can't even figure out where to stash the video at your local renter (try the trash guys). Sexuality is not a direct issue in this movie, though it does take on a bizarre subtext. It seems insulting to make it share shelf space with The Sound of Music in the Musical section, and although the results are terrifying, there's no blood so it can't go into Horror. Most of the movies in the G&L section feature leading characters that are gay or have homosexuality as a theme. I guess they thought, "Ah, the Village People were a gay singing group, let's just toss it here and forget about it." Doesn't explain why they also store the tapes of the Britcom Absolutely Fabulous here, though.

The opening credits alone raise an eyebrow. We see a keyboard beneath a half-circle, showing New York City. Glittering credits identify this as an "An Allan Carr Production." This is the last time such a credit will be taken seriously. As if this movie didn't do enough damage, Carr followed this up with Grease 2 and Where the Boys Are 84. Mr. Carr has the distinction of being mentioned in Jan and Michael Stern's Encyclopedia of Bad Taste as a result of films such as these. "

Walked out half way throught the movie, GAWD I was sooooo bored!

I can't believe you didn't like Forrest Gump. I think that is one of the best movies ever made.

I think the worst movie I have ever seen is They Call Me Bruce.

Signs

Howard the Duck
The Adventures of Pluto Nash

Project Blair 1 and 2

No it isn't. It's garbage.

I like Mr. Cranky's review:

"As Mr. Cranky, I can definitively state that life is more like a box of turds than a box of chocolates. Metaphorically speaking, how many times have you bitten down on sweet candy only to end up eating crap? A few of Forrest's buddies can back me up here. John F. Kennedy thought he was going to make a great speech in Dallas. Lyndon Johnson thought he'd build a Great Society. And Richard Nixon thought bugging phones would make him omnipotent.

Concentrate on this film and you'll quickly smell the rank odor accompanying the depoliticization of history. Director Robert Zemeckis turns dimwitted Forrest (Tom Hanks) into the hero by showing him not worrying and being happy while some of the most important historical events of his time pass him by. Meanwhile, Jenny's (Robin Wright) life goes right down the tubes as she tries her best to contribute to society. Thanks for trying to be politically active, Jenny -- here's a fatal disease for your troubles.

Ultimately, Forrest creates a new mantra for the modern world: Ignorance is bliss. Thanks, Robert -- America needed that. "
