Holy shit guy's!!! I forgot to add a very bad movie, "Star ship Trooper's 2" I am a big fan of the first movie and so I figured this one would be good... HELL NO! the 2nd trooper's was so very very bad, bad acting, bad script, bad everything.
If you feel the need to laugh or snicker, please feel free.

They made a Starship troopers 2!! I thought the first one was bad, not very good interpretation of the book and made me think it was Mellrose Place in Space.
I am almost tempeted to see it to see the horror.

I'd like to mention lame American rip-offs of great foreign films.
Point of No Return with Brigitte Fonda ripped off La Femme Nikita by Luc Besson.
Insomnia with Al Pacino ripped off Insomnia by Eric Skjoldbjaerg.
The Ring with Naomi Watts ripped off Ringu by Hideo Nakata.
They're others that I can't think of right now. The originals by far had more class and style to them than the remakes.
La Femme Nikita was so good because of Luc Besson's style. The ever-so-sexy Anne Parillaud played her part perfectly and Tcheky Karyo was awesome in his role. The remake had no style and no soul, it was a travesty.
The original Insomnia was carried by Stellan Skarsgard who's one of my favorite actors. Once again the style and mood in the movie can't be beat. Then you have the remake. I admire Pacino but it just wasn't the same and not near as good as Skarsgard.
Ringu was one of the best Japanese horror films I've seen and I can't bring myself to waste two hours on the remake.

I didn't know about Insomnia. I'll have to check that out. As far as La Femme Nikita and Ringu go, nobody who had ever seen the originals would ever remake them for any reason except the money. Actually The Ring wasn't bad (although lacking most of the great story elements of Ringu), but I'm sure I'd feel differently if I had seen the original first. Interestingly I read the book before I saw the original movie, and while I didn't find it the least bit scary I still think it was better than the movie. I thought it was a truly great mystery even though I pretty much knew the end.
Point of No Return (the La Femme Nikita remake) was just horrible. And I hadn't gotten to see the original when I saw it. It's just as bad as the original is good.
What pisses me off is that there have been at least a few good remakes of American movies in other countries and Americans don't ever hear about them. One of my favorite DVDs ever is Mean Machine, which is a remake of The Longest Yard. I'd never have known it existed except that my wife was looking at used discs at a local video store and noticed it because of Vinny Jones. In the last year or so I've introduced most of my friends to it and they all love it as much as I do.

TO add to that, Vanila Sky. Its a remake of a Spanish or Mexican film. The origial kills it by far. Surprisingly a lot of Hollywood films are remakes or stollen.

Vanilla Sky is big piece of crap! The original Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes) was so much better it is hard to believe that they are based on the same story. I can't believe some twit on IMDB.com actually made a comparison with Vanilla Sky and Memento. I hate people!!
As far as The Ring and Ringu go, I liked 'em both. But Point of No Return SUCKED! La Femme Nikita will always be the best. I think that is one of the only French films I like.

As much as I hate to admit it there are several French films I really like and actually own.
The City of Lost Children is a visual treat.
Baise Moi is brutal
I Stand Alone is even more brutal.
Man Bites Dog is the most brutal, but very good.

Come on guys! Everyone here who drifts for a moment while choosing a bad movie gets distracted and wants to say Citizen Kane, The Maltese Falcon. But then we're reminded that we aren't looking for the best movies but the worst ones.
Let's start a new thread and talk about what we all think are the best movies. There's a lot of really good movies I haven't seen because they aren't widely distibuted, advertised, or available. Perhaps we could help each other discover these hidden cinematic jewels. Got a hot B movie from England, France, or Germany,or from anywhere that really works, tell us about it, and why you think that we should watch it. Inform each other.
" Please Read!!! Post your questions only in This Thread or they will go unanswered:

Didn't we have that thread at the same time as this one was created. I remember naming quite a few.
but on the bad side. Kill bill vol. 1 Oh my god was this bad. The second one was good and the first should be avoided. With Sonny Shiba in the first one, he should have forced QT to watch one of his films. Watch Street fighter or the Lone wolf and cub series. But at all costs avoid this horrific terrible film know to us as Kill Bill Vol. 1.

I watched about 20 minutes of "you got served". I had to wrap my head in duct tape to keep it from exploding. A bunch of sorry assed punks dancing around, please! It's like a modern ghetto version of west side story. That movie sucked ass and damn near made me stupid.

Speaking of bad American remakes of foreign movies, Twelve Monkeys remake of the French La Jetee. Boring! Other bad movies...Cocktail, Indecent Proposal, The Wild Wild West, The Waterboy and Eye of the Beholder. Just my 2 cents...

I thought the Waterboy was funny. That and Happy Gillmore, were really good. YOu have to like physical comedy and hitting people. All the hik jokes in Waterboy were great.

I think it's a female thing. I don't find physical comedy with the hitting and humiliation funny, just painful. Perhaps it's just too close to being a flashback to high school for me...talk about humiliation! I actually got stood up for the prom, my family ignored my sixteenth birthday ...I better stop now, I think I'm going to depress myself way too much if I go on. I believe that generaly men are better at letting things go and laughing at themselves than women are.
I forgot to add Gods and Monsters to that list.

Well just wait 10years and your prom date just might appear. Did you ever see Gross Point Blank. Thats a really good film. Good retro music as well. You should have broughten up the movie Sixteen Candles, also very good and sounds like what might have happened. My 16th birday was nothing special, I only think americans make them into special events. The big B-day I think is 40. That one I am not waiting for.
Guys are a little better, but also much more aggressive as well. Just beat up a stuffed animal that always works for me. Yes I have stuffed animals. But for a lot of guys it never really goes away, only until we forget. Guys forget a lot of things.

Yeah, I was thinking of Sixteen Candles when that happened, couldn't believe it! Not even my grandmother remembered. At least in the movie there was an actual reason for everyone forgeting and she got the guy in the end, no such luck for me. Grosse Pointe Blank is an excellent movie. I grew up in the 80's so I'm more than familiar with that soundtrack. As for waiting 10 years for my date, seeing as I learned that he recently joined the Hell's Angels , I believe that I'd be the one to do the standing up this time (except that I have more class than that).

Well with a new outlook on life he might turn around. But only if he had a couple million like in Gross pointe Blank right?
But here were geting way off topic. I am just hoping the event of depression was successfully avoided. That is never a good thing. Well good for the ice cream companies, but not really others.

You're right! I'll add on Lost In Space and Mimic then.
Going only 1/2 way off topic what about those movies that everyone else thinks stink but that you secretly like? I like Johnny Mnemonic, So I Married An Axe Murder and Remo Williams...though I know most people don't. Anyone else?

Sorry to hear about your stuffed animal problem Prisoner. Maybe things will get better if enough stuffing comes out. Hey Michelle, I'm a child of the 80's also and I say go listen to some duran duran, then turn on the breakfast club and you will hear more pathetic kids who have bigger problems than you. Hope it helps. Oh yeah, The beach with Leo decaprio really sucks!
