All going in!
Many thanx
baffy, i think u got a mistake.
wildhartlivie nominated The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and u have the original in the accolade.
btw, like i've said in another forum thread, i really enjoy TCM2. an awful horror film, but a pretty good comedy.

Most blatant misnomer in the history of cinema IMHO.
This is true: when I was 11 we lived in a town called Pleasantville. It was famous for being the HQ of The Readers Digest. It was ... uhmm ... sort of pleasant.

Oh choices choices. I rate "The English Patient" very highly and it saddens me a little to hear that people hate it that much, but each to their own I suppose. It makes me feel better that I can nominate "Armageddon" into the shit list, as the film that's probably as bad as "Independence Day". "Dreamcatcher" came very close, but smug old Bruce saving the world pips it for me. The mere mention of that film makes me gag.
Armageddon, Armageddon, Armageddon
How are you feeling |

I am late coming to this thread but I have to nominate this pile of crud, the story is garbage and the acting is non-existent!
This "film" I actually hated and along with 3 mates we left with 1/2 and hour to go before the end, it is the only movie I have ever done that to.
Ant finally this piece of junk, I understand that I am probably misunderstanding a piece of genius but to me it is just awful, sorry.

Meow! JTC!!!
Welcome to the thread ... but I'm afraid you're going to have to choose one of these you have dubbed turkeys. It's for my accolade and everyone gets to contribute one film. So - tough as you may find it - please make your choice!
Meanwhile, it was great to see the photo of you with those southern hemi fwfrers! Hope your trip is progressing nicely and send my regards to WAC and the missus.

My personal, least favorite all-time film is 'Blues Brothers 2000', but maybe that's too obvious.
I've only read a couple pages of posts to this thread, so hopefully this isn't a repeat. If it is, perhaps 'Mixed Nuts' would fill the bill. I watched it this afternoon and found myself wishing Nora Ephron had never been conceived.
Interesting accolade concept...

Welcome CankleFetish and glad you like the Acc!  Blues Brothers 2000 will go in pronto, and thanks for your contribution. I hope you'll take the challenge and have fun achieving it.

I may have posted too early... even though my least favorite film is Blues Brothers 2000, will somebody PLEASE nominate 'I heart Huckabees' for this list. It deserves a stern looking at...
LOL

Thanks for welcoming me to your thread, it was a pleasure to contribute...

I'll go with the one listed above Being...
A horrid film, and I understand that I may upset or annoy some but opinion is a personal thing.
The trip is over and I loved meeting up with Conan and thefoxboy, both were fun friendly and entertaining, they made us really welcome to Oz.

I'll go with Rocky IV.
That's the one where Rocky takes on the Russian. I'm still stunned at the final scene where Rocky is fighting the commie in Russia, yet the crowd is chanting "ROCKY! ROCKY!"
It's American jingoism at its worse.
And to show how opinions differ, Runaway Train is one of my favourite movies. I gave it 6/5. |

It will be added soon-ish. As to varying tastes -- well, that's kinda the key to this accolade
