I thought Signs and Devil were both very good.

My biggest complaint about the movie was that they show the ending of how the chick gets draged off in the trailer. Once I say she was the main character I
knew how it would end.

"Signs" is one of my fav movies. Like action-oriented alien invasion movies in general like Cloverfield and Alien but I liked this one too because it offered a change of pace and slooowly built up the tension.

My favorite hobby - watching Mustangs fall behind in the rearview mirror of my '01 C5.

But John Woo, the director, instead made an absolute mess of an action film, with plenty of slow motion shots of Nicholas Cage grimacing like he'd just taken cyanide. Cage was terrible, but I blame Woo for not having any idea how to make the movie. I've never walked out on a movie, but I came close on this one.

I would have to say without a doubt 2001 A Space Odyssey. I saw it as a youngster during a school excursion it may have gone right over my head.

Signs was pure trash.
A former priest who owns the only farm in America without a shotgun. An retard brother and an Alien menance that traveled untold Billions of miles to invade a world 2/3 made up of stuff that kills them. Add in two cute kids and a magic baby monitor and you're all set.
I don't know which was worse, this or the one about the motel full of freaks with the magic swimming pool.

I must have a bad taste in movies, because there are a lot of movies listed here that I actually enjoyed very much.

For the record, I liked the English Patient, 2001 :A Space Odyssey and thoroughly enjoyed Bubba-Ho-Tep.  As far as really bad movies go, anything directed by Ed Wood (Glen or Glenda, Plan 9 from Outer Space) would qualify. Some films become cult classics because they were so absurd. How many of you watched Santa Claus Conquers the Martians?

Oh man, what an emotional movie. Great performances.

I won't call it the worst, but I really didn't enjoy Titanic until people started falling off the boat. But the people bouncing off the boat and slamming into the water scenes were top notch.
Out of Africa was also the worst for me. I remember my mom forcing my sister and I to watch it at the theater. For years, we joked that we should have called social services.

Signs was cool. The swimming pool one I agree with.

Joe Vs the Volcano and I love Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks but that was royally bad. I did not walk out like I do other movies that are bad but that has stayed in my mind for a long time.
I watched The American the other night and other than the scenery thought this might qualify. What a slow boring movie. Did Clooney produce it and direct it and star in it. Horrible movie.
