Lorenzo's oil.

I was 11 years old, my dad thought it acceptable to take me along with his current date to a 2hr long film about some kid with lukemia. I recall trying to sleep to escape the boredom but was impossible due to the child actor continuosly crying in pain.

Same dad who chose 'eyes wide shut' as a family movie night.

Fml.

I got taken to see Brigitte Jones Baby. Luckily I was under the influence of alcohol & fell asleep in the cinema. I guess I remember about 20 minutes of it - OMG, who would actually make this kind of dull st, let alone want to watch it??

Naked Lunch. By a country mile.

Only film I've ever been to that emptied the cinema.

Rancid Aluminium. I had really enjoyed the book so looked forward to seeing the film, however, it was terrible. To make matters worse I had pursuaded a few friends to go with me by telling them how good I thought it would be....

"Eyes wide shut" cruise and Kidman... drivel.

I recall it was a pleasant sunny afternoon but a bunch of us went to see it. There was a technical problem at the cinema in what appearedto be about twelve hours in, at which point I was in the edge of my seat about to stand up with "anyone fancy a pint, I mean it's going on a bit"(fast show stylie)

All the Twilight films getmecoat

(to clarify, it wasn't my own choice, Mrs ZS dragged me there to watch them)
I only saw one of them at the cinema when dragged there by an ex, no idea which one it was but there was a battle scene between wolfs and vampires.

When we came out of the cinema she said "so what did you think"
Apparently "It was a massive pile of st" isn't the right answer. I qualified it by saying it's Romeo and Juliet with special effects but that didn't cut it either. That was a long silent drive home.

Little Shop of Horrors
I hate musicals but Ghostbusters was full so we had to see something. It was awful.

Waynes World
Probably going to get slated for this one but it's the only film I walked out of. The girlfriend was more than happy to escape but didn't want to say anything in case I was enjoying it.

‘The One’ is not the worst Jet Li film. Try ‘Unleashed’. Bob Hoskins keeps Jet Li as a sort of attack dog on a lead.
And Morgan Freeman shops at Spar. In Glasgow

Daddy's Home

If you've seen it you'll know. If not, don't seek it out. It made me want to finely slice my Unlimited Card and ram it up my nose whilst inserting an angry hedgehog into my ANUS as it'd be less painful.

As I said, people just listing films they like or don't like.

Oh well.

Bolero


Not been mentioned yet, but not surprising as it only made £1m profit so not many went to see it (cost £8m to make and took £9m).

Only film I have ever walked out of before it finished. Even the delectable Bo couldn't keep me entertained any longer!

Others agree:

'Despite minor commercial success, the film was critically panned, earning nominations for nine Golden Raspberry Awards at the 5th Golden Raspberry Awards and "winning" six, including the Worst Picture.' Wiki
