Terriffic movie year.
I'd take Shawshank over Pulp Fiction and Gump, but I could see why someone could choose any of the three.
I watched each of them several times.
I didn't realize that 4 Weddings was that year too.
I liked that movie too. It was funny (fairly clever), moving (the funeral speech) and very corny all rolled in one.
It's 4th out of those four movies though, imo.
I guess we're off-track here seeing that this is a worst movie thread.

Not reading the whole thread, except the complete stupidity about how being anti- English Patient makes some in here feel manly or whatever.
Has anyone said Battlefield Earth? The Room is simply the worst but as far as big production goes...

I would think no one has mentioned Battlefield Earth because no one here has seen it, so it wouldn't be mentioned in worst movies you ever *saw*.

i have seen lots of terrible movies.
many were entertaining for being so bad.
i can laugh at bad.
battlefield earth? i can hilariously enjoy that waste of money while marveling over wack jobs who believe in that stuff. --any reference to wack jobs and a travolta film are completely unintentional so just carry on.
two movies that drew rave reviews from many that i hated were the aforementioned english patient and ghost.
it wasn't just that they were sappy chick flicks.
it was that they were sappy, chick flicks on an estrogen drip with a large dose of downers mixed in.
i literally fell asleep on the english patient and spent ghost looking at my girlfriends face as she sat unaware in some sort of weird chick stupor. it was like she was in some alternate universe.
those two films were what i imagine hell to be. just watching that drivel on repeat.

Maybe because nobody bothered to see it.
But it should have been mentioned sooner!

All I know is if Shawshank Redemption isn't included within your top 3 movies of all time, I'd like to be puffing what your puffing... It's so bad a$$, I sometimes think I'd put it ahead of Braveheart at number 1. But then I see "You bled with Wallace... Now bleed with me..."
And i'm in a conundrum again...

I didn't read a single post that even intimated such a thought. As a matter of fact, personally, I have a ton of favorite movies that while not "chick flicks" wouldn't be considered "manly" movies either. Two examples I can think of are Sophie's Choice and The Color Purple.
I simply found The English Patient to be boring.

I find it crazy that the Coen brothers can make GREAT movies like The Big Lebowski and the True Grit re-make, then turn around and make movies like Burn After Reading and this...LITERALLY THE MOST GARBAGE MOVIE EVER.

I haven't seen A Serious Man, Rynie but you are so right about Burn After Reading. It blew. It was like they didn't even try.

They are so hit-and-miss it's not even funny. If you're feeling masochistic, watch A serious man. I didn't even make it to the 20 minute mark.
This made me think of another TERRIBLE movie: The Men Who Stare at Goats.
Walked out.

I mentioned the English Patient first. I thought it was a snoozefest and a bad movie. I never implied it was bad because it was a chick-flick and I wanted to seem more manly. No one else did either.
It is amazing what some people gather from rather simple posts or topics. Me saying a movie was boring and bad = I am a manly man and will not watch a chick-flick, wow.
Everyone has a plan, until they get hit.
