WRAITH with Charlie sheen... How did I watch this as a kid and like it? SMH
Wraith was great. Goofy Randy Quaid, Goofier Clint "Rughead" Howard. Freakazoid characters. Hot cars. Perfect 1986 movie. Sherilyn Fenn was a hot little package.

I noticed that the Mexican had some very well known actors. So I tried
watching it. That bad movie has to be high on the list.

My wife and I put it on one night because it had won and Academy Award,
I had to leave my wife alone and suffer through it. Don't know how it could
be best picture, should have been worst picture.

No Way Out. Kevin Costner is put in charge of looking for an imaginary Russian spy to frame for killing the Sec of Defense's girlfriend. At the end, the big plot twist is that Costner actually is a Russian spy, which is totally irrelevant to the fact that they were trying to frame an imaginary Russian spy.
I think you missed the point that the spy was real in No Way Out.. they just didn't know who it was. So when they needed to frame a murder they figured they could just use the spy. I think it was juts a bit of bad acting or directing that did not establish that Kevin Costner (the spy) CHOSE to seduce the mistress of the SecDef. I bet they figured that would have ruined the ending.

The problem is that they wanted you to root for Kevin Costner.. but if they let you know he was a Russian spy.. or suspect it.. that would have prevented that. So, I'm not sure they could have improved it.. they were screwed with any choice they made there.

No, the point is that the SecDef suspected his mistress of cheating on him with another boyfriend and killed her in a fit of rage. He then tried to cover up the murder by framing the boyfriend by accusing the boyfriend of being a fictional spy. The fact that at the end we find out the boyfriend really was a spy is completely irrelevant to the fact that the SecDef killed his mistress and tried to frame someone else. The entire movie was designed around this huge plot twist that ends up being completely meaningless.

I apologize... You guys are right. It was Street Fighter that I was talking about, not Mortal Kombat lol.

He confused the two - JCVD played Guile.
I got confused. I read back in the day that MKs Johnny Cage was modeled after JCVD and I guess I went from there.

But yes... Street Fighter was a dumpster fire. Hey, how about The A Team movie? Another sh** show that should've been better with Liam Neesom, Bradley Cooper, etc.

The Green Hornet was the worst big budget superhero movie ever made.
Catwoman or the Green Lantern have to take the prize for that one. They were so bad they didn't even try to reboot the franchises.

For worst movie I have to go with The Island of Dr. Moreau. I walked out. This is when I knew Marlon Brando pretty much lost it.

The Last Dragon - Bruce Leroy.....bleh!

Some relief.....

Kung Fu Hustle is a flat-out funny movie with great effects, wild characters and some killer fight scenes.

Dumb and Dumber should not be anyone's favorite movie but it should not be up for consideration as worst movie either. It is stupid but has a bunch of laughs. Sequel was horrible but I wouldn't even nominate that for worst ever.
Dumb and Dumber is a great movie for what it set out to accomplish. It is one of the funniest movies ever.

Dumb and Dumber To and Dumb and Dumberer not so much.

It's not meaningless.
From the audience's perspective, the SecDef's gambit of pinning his mistresses murder on the "mythical" Urie (Russian Spy), has placed Kevin Costner's character in jeopardy of being unfairly convicted of espionage.
We (the audience) have been routing for Kevin Costner to escape from this situation throughout the entire story, only to learn at the end that we have been duped into routing for the real Urie. It's irony. And as the viewer you feel that you should have known by things that happened, but you didn't.

Kind of like the surprise at the end of The Sixth Sense.

I think watching the room first gave us a better understanding and appreciation of
The disaster artist

Love Story. First time I had to pay $3 for a movie ticket. I cried all the way through the show about $6 bucks flushed down the toliet. The girl must have been sympathetic since she was crying too. Don't remember any plot.
Was the six bucks well spent?:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
