I kinda feel like we're throwing stones from glass houses here. A lot of the movies listed here would get love and adoration, had they been made by an Indietalker. But since they were made by some anonymous "other", then I guess we're free to hate on them?
Worst movie(s) you've ever seen.
- Thread starter ChimpPhobiaFilms
- Start date
I disagree with this. For example, if I found out that Cracker Funk wrote and directed Punch Drunk Love, I would no longer respect him.
Punch Drunk Love is directed by PT Anderson. All of Anderson's films have been nominated for Academy Awards, or Golden Globes except for his first feature, Hard Eight. He has won best director, and best picture at many festivals, such as Cannes. I respect him

Nah, I can distinguish between liking YOU and liking your FILM, or disliking YOU and disliking your FILM.
If I make a cr@p film (And I'm tempted to make one on purpose!) then it's a cr@p film.
It ain't personal. It's just over exposed, off level, too often just out of focus, and has a stupid story with too many edits that are ten frames too long on both ends.
Cr@p is cr@p.
It would be an honor to be talking to the person that had directed Punch Drunk Love, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, etc.
Mr. Jingles!
There is a challenge I have going with people I know (and I have read the same thing online) to attempt to finish this atrocity in one sitting. What sets this apart from the ones you guys have listed is that I would venture a guess and say they were more for fun and Mr. Jingles was clearly done as a serious work. Look it up, find it however you can, and attempt to watch it all at once. If this movie could be picked up by Lionsgate then I believe any movie can be.
I bought Mr. Jingles from a Blockbuster to keep as motivation that I could make a film.

Another potential contender for you guys, while on IMDB it suggested Boss Nigger!
Pluto Nash.
holy radioactive dog poo batman!! it only grossed $7.1million on a $100 million budget!! ouch. I now have to find this movie just to see how bad it is haha
Still rates a 5% on rotten tomatoes though - well above Murphy's more recent "A Thousand Words" which managed to hold on to it's coveted 0% rating, a rare feat for a film with a recognizable name star. Haven't personally seen either though, so I don't feel qualified to declare either the worst...

Most of Murphy's recent stuff is worth mentioning here.
The director Justin Powers is local, I met him at a Texas Frightmare a few years ago. Lloyd Kaufman (head of Troma) played a bit part which probably was key in the distribution.
