Lisa Kudrow: Analyze That.
Matt Le Blanc: All The Queens Men
David Schwimmer: 6 Days 7 Nights
Jennifer Aniston: ?

Actually one that just has to be mentioned...

Bram Stoker's Dracula

Embarrassingly bad, that was. Especially the pretence that this was in some way *Bram Stoker's* Dracula.

Ooh, hold on. Bram Stoker's Dracula may be so overblown you can see it from the Arctic, but I appreciate the visual quality of the whole enterprise, its music score and that it has a certain charm that doesn't entirely become tainted by potentially damaging elements (eg. The Worst Accent In The World by a Mr. Keanu Reeves).

That said, I can see why some people might - and do - give it the finger.

Bad films? Oh, christ, so many. I'd start off my universe-sized list with any British 1970's celluloid 'spin-offs' from popular comedy shows, where the appeal of said programmes are immediately destroyed when transposed to the screen, looking cold, twice as tacky and cheap-looking, and, more importantly, no laughs. It was even worse when the 'big-screen' treatment was given to shows that were shit in the first place.

Thank you, SR and wingco, for agreeing with me on Lost in Translation. I thought I was alone.

Love the Benny Hill-style accenting, SR. Like the chicken, I thought it was rubbery.

I saw "Chasing Amy" at the cinema when it came out, and bought it on DVD a couple of years ago. I watched it again for the first time recently (I tend to do this - buy DVDs and then save them for a rainy day) and it was fucking awful. Tedious, self-centred guff with a bunch of really annoying characters that it was really difficult to have any sympathy.

So, Ben Affleck's character. You've fallen in love with a lesbian. Well, though shit. Stop being such a cunt about it.

Jeez, SR, what is it you see in Bram Stoker's Dracula? Personally I think it's a mix of:

Poor acting (Hopkins and Oldman at their over-acting worst, while Reeves, Frost and Ryder are very limited actors anyway);

Awful dialogue (Ryder's speeches of her supposed love for the Count must be some of the most embarrassing ever submitted to screenplay);

Ridiculous plot embarrassments (Ryder in love with Count, why exactly? Ryder and Frost get it on, why exactly?);

and for anyone who knows the source novel, changes aplenty, almost all for the worse (Lucy Westenra becomes simplistically sex-crazed) for no good reason.

It was laughably bad. Laughably bad, I tell you.

Anything directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Bit harsh, that. "Martha" was worth watching. And that one where Fassbinder himself plays some high-class bloke's bit of rough and ends up dying in a tube station is quite good, too.

I love the only Fassbinder film I've seen, though I can't remember what it's called. I liked Bridget Jones as well, though I'm the only person I know who did.

Worst films I've seen:-

The Aviator
Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
Elizabeth
Goodfellas
Shallow Grave
Star Trek
Jurassic Park
Are You Being Served
Confessions Of A Something Or Other
Superman

Having watched it this morning, I'm going to echo the vote for "Before Sunrise". I don't mind a bit of a slow burner of a plot, and I had heard that not much actually happens; even so, after an hour or so, there was a feeling of 'Christ, they really are going to do nothing except talk and then part, are they?'. Is "Before Sunset" much the same or is it worth a watch having finished the first one?
delicatemoth, Bridget Jones was alright, in a never need to watch it again kind of way. mind I like numbers 1,2,4 and 5 on your list.

Oh yeah, another good one with an ex-friends cast member - Lisa Kudrow in "The Opposite Of Sex".

blanks need filling in?

Courtney Cox was in the film adaptation of "He-Man: Masters of the Universe" and also "Cocoon: the Return", a film so bad even Steve Guttenburg was only in it as a cameo reprise of his role in the first film.

Jennifer Aniston has yet to appear in a film of any real note. Her "straight to DVD" credits include Leprechaun, The Object of My Affection, Bruce Almighty, and Along Came Polly. The latter actually made a fair bit of money but clearly did enough (in terms of reviews) to convince Ben Stiller that his future career lay as a writer and producer.

Jennifer Aniston was in "Derailed" last year, which fancied itself as a Hitchcockian thriller, but signposted the 'shocking' twist so blatantly that the cast may as well have carried around sandwich boards with 'This way to the blindingly obvious twist' on them.
