5 Movies I Wish I'd Never Seen List


1 Along Came Polly
2 Duplex
3 My Boss' Daughter
4 Marci X
5 Titan AE


In all seriousness, I don't want to criticize "Along Came Polly" *that* bad. It had some funny moments. And if I had a choice of watching a movie like this or Ben Stiller in a drama, I'd choose something like this. But, I wasn't satisfied with how I felt leaving the theater. I think it was the writing. Oh well.

reply

I also Wish I Hadn't Seen:

"Rollerball"
"Jeepers Creepers"
"Jeepers Creepers 2"
"Senseless"
"Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron"
"I Spy"
"The Hulk"
"The Ring"
"Chicago"
"Darkness Falls"
"Adaptation"
"A View From the Top"
"Wes Craven Presents: They"
"FearDotCom"

reply

worst two movies I've ever see were The Cell and Gangs of New York

reply

Just friends

reply

I haven't seen the "Jeepers Creepers" movies or "Rollerball", but I agree on the others except for "The Ring" which was quite good, and "Adaptation" which is a great movie.

reply

I would have to say Adaptation is the worst movie of all time.

reply

howcome?

reply

I don't understand why you all dislike 'Along Came Polly' so much. I think it's one of the funniest romantic comedies. I mean Hank Azaria and PSH were hilarious, Baldwin was funny aswell, and Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston weren't that bad either. I mean have you seen those terrible other romantic comedies with Jennifer, like The 'Object of my Affection' or 'Picture Perfect'.
This one has some classic moments of comedy:
"You want scuba?"
"Let it rain!"


reply

>I don't understand why you all dislike 'Along Came Polly' so much.

For me it is because of all the crotch/toilet humour.

reply

To Mike:C19

If you wished you never saw Jeepers Creepers, why did you see the sequel? I saw a few movies I don't like, and I'm sure the sequels can't be much better.

reply

jeepers creepers 2 was actually better at times. and i liked the first one just fine.

the ring did suck.

movies i wish i'd never seen:

jason x
freddy vs. jason
drowning mona
envy
that one with johnny knoxville where they kill him (see, the title isn't even worth remembering)
the ring
dude, where's my car
and there's more, they're just not coming to mind.

ben stiller's just not good anymore. he's always the exact same guy in all his roles.

reply

This post has brought to my attention that you people need to screen the flicks you're seeing :)

reply

Seems theres a pattern in those movies... Wet your bed much? :D

reply

jumper
from justin to kelly
the pink panther 2006

reply

why on earth would you have gone on to watch jeepers creepers 2 after seeing how bad the first one was?! are you a secret sadist or something?

i quite liked adaptation but fully agree with your other choices by the way...

reply

So basically u don't like any horror movies? those are the best! all the ones on your list rock!

reply

If you wish you hadn't seen "Jeepers Creepers", then why did you go back for seconds??? It's folks like you who keep stupid movies and moviemakers in business....

reply

[deleted]

[deleted]

Adaptation? Really? I thought that movie was great.

reply

why would you see jeepers creepers 2 after jeepers creepers?

reply

So you watched Jeepers Creepers and then wished you hadn't seen it, then you watched the sequel?

I honestly can't think of a single movie that I wish I had never seen. I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to regret watching a movie so much. Unless it is seriously sick and disturbing and messes you up and drives you insane. Maybe Along Came Polly did that to you.

reply

I´m totally with you...No matter how bad a movie is, I never regret having watched it...otherwise I could not know by myself how bad/good it is...I watched "The Devil´s Tomb" last night and definetely will never watch it again or recommend it to no one I aprecciate, but I watched it, didn´t like it and move on to a next movie.

reply

Ok...Jeepers Creepers I'll give you...but why did you watch Jeepers Creepers II if you wished you hadn't seen the first one? Were you thinking it was going to be better this time and were like "Do'h, they got me again!"


lol

reply

I really like Jeepers Creepers 1&2 as well as The Ring. My five are:
1) The Awakening(2010)
2) Disaster Movie and Epic Movie
3) Wes Craven's They
4) Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
5) AVH: Alien vs Hunter

reply

Matrix Reloaded
Monster Dog
The Lion King (bad musicals, good animation, ok plot, weak ending)
Prince Of Darkness
Dolemite (can't remember which one.... worst acting ever...looked like the actors were reading off of cards.)

reply

"And if I had a choice of watching a movie like this or Ben Stiller in a drama"

Check out Perminant Midnight, great Stiller drama.

1. State Property
2. Gone on 60 Seconds
3. Anything with Vin Diesle
4. American Werewolf in Paris
5. Riding in Cars with Boys

How can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice? We need a new noise.

reply

[deleted]

The problem with Pitch Black is that it is really just a modernized version of The Poseidon Adventure and no where near as good. After seeing Gene Hackman in this film, Vin Diesel pales by comparison

reply


I forgot about Saving Private Ryan. I hope it works out for you, hooking up with Vin and all.

How can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice? We need a new noise.

reply

gone in 60 senconds? you must be kidding. see it again man!!! that's the best in racing ever. have story. dialog good "i have to do some bad things to help him, mom" "just do what it takes!!!". that's from the mother tell him to go away so his brother can grow up to be a good man. anyway tell me what's better? i will consider my opinion again after see those movies.

reply

Have you seen The Cell or Out of Sight? I think Lopez is quite good in those.

The Musketeer

ok it's not going to be just 5 movies but rather blocks of movies and in no particular order.

1) anything with ben stiller (why does this sorry excuse for a clown keep playing the same stupid parts doing the same stupid gags in repeats of the same stupid movies.)
2) anything with mike meyers (the idiot from austin powers not the idiot from halloween -- at least the halloween movies are a good excuse to eat popcorn in a dark room)
3) anything with renee zellwigger (this ditz gives blondes a bad name)
4) anything with ice cube, cedric the "entertainer" and any of those other hip hop/rap talentless jerks.)
5) anything with madonna (just looking at her makes me feel like i've caught a veneral disease.)

dishonorable mention) steven seagal (need i say more?)

reply

This is a cool topic!!

In the last 12 months:

1. Punch Drunk Love
2. Bruce Almighty
3. I Spy
4. Royal Tenebaums [on video]
5. Gettin' Square
[although David Wenham was fantastic]


And I also want to mention that I thik Ben Stiller is shithouse in everything I've seen him in. He almost ruined Mystery Men! Him & Eddie Izzard should've switched roles!

reply

[deleted]

Punch Drunk Love? ... As in, PUNCH DRUNK LOVE!!! Are you MAD?!!! Please: Re-watch it! Give it another chance!


INDEED!! I MEAN!! IT IS PUNCH DRUNK LOVE, HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE IT??

reply

Donal-McG on Ben Stiller: "He almost ruined Mystery Men!" Whew, there for a second I thought you were actually being serious. Mystery Men was ruined from "action." It was a case of decent actors (Frank Azaria, Ben Stiller, William H. Macy) making a collectively horrible career mistake. Anyway I must provide my top 5 worst of all time. And the survey says....

1. Battlefield Earth
2. Charlie's Angels
3. Underworld
4. The Postman
5. Moonraker

There you go..

reply

what? Moonraker?? one of the best movies ever...couldn't agree more on battlefield earth (who said planet of the apes?) and the postman..shitty movies

reply

1. Battlefield Earth
2. The Postman
3. Sweet Home Alabama
4. Slap her she's French!
5. Manos, the hands of fate (whatched it out of couriosity)

reply

ALMOST ruined mystery men hehehe you did see the movie right. i rank mystery men my 6th place finisher :)

reply

BEST movies EVER:
1. zoolander
2. startsky and hutch
3. meet the parents
4. dodgeball
5. duplex

reply

Anything starring Ben Stiller, Dane Cook, Martin Lawrence, The Wayans Brothers, Tom Green, Larry the Cable Guy, D.L. Hughley, Steve-O, or anybody from Broken Lizard automatically sucks and is blacklisted from my movie queue.

4. A Knight's Tale (What the hell was this supposed to be?)

5. 28 Days Later (That's how long it seemed like the movie lasted)

reply

reply

The Hours (disturbed me),Crossroads(s 2 the t 2 the u 2 the pid),The Hulk(the point please?),ummm Tarzan and Jane (the sequel,not the original)and Big Fish (good movie,but it hit a little too close to home for me)

When life hands you lemons ask for tequila and salt.

2. About Schmidt
3. Texas Chainsaw masacre (the new one)
4. The Hulk (sorry for lack of originality on this one, but it was crap).

reply

1. Mixed Nuts
2. Spiderman
3. Passenger 57
4. Speed 2 (although I did "enjoy" watching that in the sense that I was laughing my butt off the whole second half of the movie. Too bad it wasn't marketed as a comedy...)
5. Shallow Hal (love Jack Black and Jason Alexander, enjoy most Farrelly brothers movies, but this one was just plain annoying)

reply

1.Zoolander (one of Stiller's worst movies ever i like stiller but he's corny in this one)

reply

reply

I can't express myself enough but I thought the WORST movie was DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!

1. DROG DEAD GORGEOUS (bad plot, not even funny, ending was dumb, Denise Richards looks like trash as a blonde even though she wasn't a blonde in the movie).
2. Eight Crazy Nights

I don't really remember anything else as of right now... I'll add more later...

reply

[deleted]

5) The Postman

reply

[deleted]

what i find really weird is that Ben Stiller is probably one of the worst actors i have ever seen. i have never found any of his movies even close to funny and he is one of the ugliest things on the face of the earth, but he continues to make movie after movie with beautiful women.

reply

no offense meant, but do you dislike jews in general?

reply

Serial Mom?! All of John Waters films are great, especially Serial Mom (And Hairspray)
