Films that you regret watching

Some Bollywood movie called Don't Say a Word. I had to watch it for school and I spent the entire time trying to block the horribleness out.
Ginger Deadman
it was horrible and the DVD froze during the dildo scene. I think the movie literally broke my DVD player.

I was talking about the American remake, but I can only assume from your description that the original Japanese version is worse. You have greater testicular fortitude than I, and my condolences for your night terrors.Chalacachaca said:
One thing we can agree on though, is that movie can fuck right off. Am I right?
My roommates and I watched that all the way through the Halloween of my Freshman year.Mysterious Username said:
Dear sweet Jesus cooking pancakes, why does such a movie exist? We all concluded that they should play that movie in health class, to exemplify that vaginas are evil and will chomp your dick off.
You know, just like in real life.
House of 1000 corpses. I should have paid closer attention to the sign at the ticket booth letting me know it wouldnt refund any money if I chose to leave early. Absolute garbage.
I'm gonna say... the Matrix Reloaded. Loved the first movie, found the second confusing as hell.
Freeway 2
How this is labeled as a "comedy" is beyond me. Aside from just being painfully unfunny:
The main characters were so unlikeable you wished them both dead by the first 15 minutes. And we were supposed to sit there and cheer for them while they acted like bitches for the entire movie.
The "big twist" that was supposed to make them seem more sympathetic didn't exactly do a good job of it, because it apparently forgot that it had made us hate them from the very beginning. The "twist" was also very poorly put through, and considering the fact that the film had been close to "joking" about the context of the twist, it just made you hate the filmmakers. Basically, imagine Mysterious Skin as written by Eli Roth... and crammed into about four minutes. It's just a poor attempt at a last-minute character change, but it just becomes insulting in the end.
The rest of the film is just an ugly mess of two unlikeable bitches doing whatever the hell they want. No, seriously; their ONE character trait is to act like angry/whiny bitches. It may come from the fact that the two leads have little to no charisma as actors... At least Natasha Lyonne almost managed to balance it out. Almost.
Oh, and Vincent Gallo is in the movie. Many people have called it his one of his "best roles ever", claiming that he's hilarious. Here's what he does:
At some point around the sixth and eighth hour of the film, he shows up after much build-up from one of the main characters. His role in the film?
He walks around in drag and speaks in a low, "mysterious" and awful spanish accent. At least I think it's spanish. I couldn't tell by the sound of the little voice in my head telling me to strangle something.
Yeah, I get that it's supposed to be an "anti-moral" film. That still doesn't make it good. Don't get me wrong; I can enjoy these kind of films if they're done well. This isn't. It's just a poor "thing" that feels way longer than it actually is, and only serves to tear up my soul and make me hate mankind.
At least I sat through it... I guess I don't completely regret watching it, because then I wouldn't be able to call it the "worst movie ever made" without justifying it.
I know it has it's fanbase, but you can count me out.
Oh, and I also regret watching Human Nature, because it was a self-absorbed, pretentious piece of garbage that seemed like it was basically made for the director to say "Hey, audience! I'm smarter than you!!", while it in itself did a downright miserable job at conveying it's overall message.

ive seen "Teeth" to the end actually with a girl at the time... awkwaaaaard xDMysterious Username said:
reeeaaaally strange movie.. i really wanna know how it got pitched to any studio at all
Oh, all the musicals that I?ve been forced to watch at school, other than Bugsy Malone.
Picture Perfect. I should?ve known better than to watch a rom-com (I typically dislike the genre), especially one with Jennifer Aniston, but I was bored and she?s got nice legs.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - I felt like falling asleep in the cinema. The only reason I watched this along with my mates was due to not bring able to see tropic thunder at the time (they had to ask for age of proof) so with no option I took my chances with this...big mistake
Jindabyne - Oh...GOD do I hate this film. I just wanted to punch every character in the face they were so stupid and unlikable. Why my English teacher had to show me this film I will never know
>(>_<)<

Speaking as someone who can find worth (if not artistic merit) in just about every film listed in this thread, there are very, very few films that I regret seeing. I may not like a given film, but it doesn't fill me with bathos over those precious lost moments of my life.
But there is one film that iritates the living shit out of me, and that is Blow-Up (1966). It is, nominally, a story about a photographer in the 60's that may have inadvertantly captured a murder on film. This could have potentially been interesting, if it weren't so absolutely fucked in its execution.
The thing about the movie Gerry is that, while absolutely nothing happens in it at all (whatsoever), the film does not try to hide that. Blow-Up, however, is the cinematic equivalent of Coitus Interruptus, the film version of the most evilly painful blue balls one can ever experience. I cannot overemphasize how much I absolutely hate this movie.
Hate. This. Movie.
HATE.
IT.
The film promises *something* and, in the end, delivers *nothing*. Just when *anything* is about to happen, it stops and decides to start something else, as if the plot has some committment issues. This film contributed to me becoming an existential nihilist because I could not believe in a kind, moral, and/or just universe after being forced to watch this piece of effervescent fuckassery for my Art of Film class. Afterwards, I had to punch a wall in a friend's dorm room just so I could feel something again.
I, for the most part, feel that many "funny critics" go too far in dissing artists and their work, crossing the line into unjustifiable personal attacks and slander/libel. But in the case of this film, I can not only ignore it, but I encourage it. Also, I kinda felt a bit giddy when David Hemmings died in 2003 due to the fact that one more person who worked on this fucking movie no longer draws breath.
As it stands, this is the only film I have ever seen (so far) that has driven me off the edge of common decency like this, and I normally don't react to something as trite and trivial as a film with this degree of vitriol, but if I could sacrifice a thousand children to the darkest gods of history to erase this piece of shit from existence... I might give it some consideration.

The special hell.Gabanuka said:Oh dear got The Last Airbernder film. There is a special place in hell for Mr. Shyamalan where he will have pebbles thrown at him for all eternity
The only movie I ever walked out on.
I remember at least half of the audience crying out in disbelief during this scene. A three year old earthbender could have thrown that pebble.
The bending reminded me of a book I had read a couple of weeks before seeing this movie, where almost all magic had vanished and the mages had to perform ritual dances for several hours just to levitate a small rock.
No but that's exactly why it was crap. He spent it hiding, being a dick to everyone and then he died. Some think it's an excellent tale of the 'human condition' but I think it's just dull.Bloodtrozorx said:
Amen to that. Especially that little clip. In the phenomenal cartoon, that many earthbenders working together would move a MOUNTAIN. Not a damn. little. boulder.Gabanuka said:Napoleon Dynamite, according to my friends you need to see it at least 3 times to get it, its not worth it.
I regretted Batman and Robin at the time but then I realised it was actually a masterpiece and its now one of my favourite films
Edit: Oh dear got The Last Airbernder film. There is a special place in hell for Mr. Shyamalan where he will have pebbles thrown at him for all eternity
My captcha was twenty one. Which is the minimum amount of times M.Night should be slapped for failing all of us with The Last Airbender.
Melancholia is a terrible, terrible film. I have no issue with art films but I seriously want those hours of my life back....
