Broken Flowers, Adaptation and The Anniversary Party because I felt like the filmmaker was just showing off from his bag of oh-so-original pretentious tricks for fooling an audience in each case.

Anything that has women in corsets and an outside chance of winning an Oscar for costume. No more adaptations of Victorian novels, please.

Anything where more of the dialogue is sung than spoken.

Anything that is clearly a vehicle for some poptart chanteuse du jour.

I hate them movies.

You?

Quigley Down Under!

This movie was meant to have Steve MacQueen in it. Boy did he dodge a bullet. OK so he died, but I think that was the better option for his career! Set in Australia, instead starred Tom Selleck as a gun totin westerner imported to shoot the local Aborignal population (charming), Alan Rickman as his (shock horror) evil arch nemesis, and Laura San Giacomo as his somewhat crazy (shock horror) love interest.

Truly, terrifyingly BAD!

OH! OH! Match Point. Woody Allen shouldn't even be around 12 year olds, let alone hiring them to write dialogue :P

Anything with Steven Seagal in it, apart from "Executive Decision", for three reasons. A GENUINE noprize for anyone who can get the three reasons why this is a great film even though that fat prejudiced meshugennah is in it....

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

Fortunately, the girl I took (on a DATE) to see that movie was at least as big a turbo-geek as I was, so we dealt with the horrible plot, then went home and played Risk.

Sadly, that is not code for anything.

Only good thing about Executive Decision was that Steven Segal died. But hey, at least I didn't pay to see that waste of celluloid.

Worst film ever... Nothing but Trouble with Demi Moore, Chevy Chase and John Candy. I think I'd sit through a Steven Segal/ Jessica Simpson/ Paris Hilton Marathon before willingly seeing that again.

*sniffle* I miss Serges.

I think the most awful movie I've seen was another Woody Allen movie, I can't remember the name of it, but it starred Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci and I walked out after the first boring ass half hour. Worst case of blowing money on a movie EVER.

Gummo... If you've never heard of it, you're better off than I. The worst part is, I've watched it NUMEROUS times... And then went out and BOUGHT it. I'm still not sure why.

For the curious...<http://imdb.com/title/tt0119237/>
