Inspired by a couple things here, including Scoopy’s review of To Kill a Clown, what is everybody’s opinions here of the worst movies of all time? At the same time, I’ve been watching some of the Siskel and Ebert year end shows on the worst films of the year, and they pointed out that they weren’t interested in going after little indpendent films, but films that either had no excuse for being so bad, or that were only made financial reasons, i.e the big budget studio films.
My choices in this regard are:
1.It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World. Even though Peter Falk is in this movie, it’s a bad, bad, bad,bad movie. It’s loud, violent, and cynical without a redeeming character in the film. I know some people regard it as some kind of comedic gem, but I regard it as neither funny nor pleasant.
2.Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I honestly don’t understand the positive reviews. To me, it was basically 2 hours of ‘how can we embarrass Richard Dreyfus?’
3.The Deer Hunter. This gets more mixed reviews. I think people who were afraid to say bad things about a Vietnam veteran war movie basically showed what they really felt when the director released the similar film Heaven’s Gate, which, as the story goes, bombed so badly that it bankrupted a studio. The Deer Hunter is boring, indulgent and filled with supposedly meaningful symbolism that are really nothing more than obvious and stupid cliches. A glass or something breaks at the end of the incredibly long wedding scene and some doll sheds a tear. How profound! A truly awful movie.
On another matter on a similar subject, Scoopy wrote about how To Kill a Clown is outdated coming from the hippy era. Scoopy and others might be interested in a film called ‘The Todd Killings’ from that same era. Without giving anything away, it features a somewhat older hippy (mid 20s or so), who believes he is fooling both the military and the police, but finds out they weren’t so easily taken in.
