Movies (Film) You Remember Being Good Until You See It Again

I can barely make it through a tiktok.

My brother sends me tiktoks all the time. I think I might have watched one once, by accident.



What about movies so bad you don't want to see them the first time let alone again?

I can watch just about anything, because when it gets bad I go into analysis mode and enjoy picking apart what makes some celluloid-snippet so deplorable — from a screenwriting perspective — I even sat all the way through Waterworld, once (but shouldn't have). However...

Way back when I had a flat-mate who was into B-grade, no, make that C-grade movies. One night we sat down to watch Barb Wire. I lasted barely a minute before I went in my room to read a book. Months passed, I was bored, I found the copy of Barb Wire and decided to give it another chance. I struggled for just under 2.5 minutes before heading down to the pub instead.

Years before scenario 1 above, a Wannabe movie-maker friend wanted to watch a movie at an actual movie theatre (pre-Netflix), my GF and I were up for anything and so we went to meet Wannabe at theatre — we didn't know what we were getting into, literally we didn't even know the name of the movie until it came up on the screen ... Dark Man. Never heard of it, hadn't seen a preview, didn't know it was a comic-based thing. I knew zilch about it.
It was the first movie I wanted to walk out of. I would have walked out, but Benny (Larry Richard Drake) from L.A. Law was superb as a supremely evil bastard kingpin who uses a cigar-cutter to lop off fingers of those who oppose him.
 
I was once working nights, occasionally we'd throw in a movie to help stay awake. A coworker brings in this movie Feed that begins with a man force feeding a tied up morbidly obese woman giant bags of fast food while touching himself on a Webcam. I was quite motivated to focus on productivity for the next hour and a half. I do not know whether or not there was a happily ever after. Kiiiiinda doubt it. "I'm so hungry daddy" blaring in the back ground.

I seemed to remember liking Willow when it came out. Saw it recently.......terrible. Now I'm scared to re-watch Krull.

I re-watched Krull last year. It's a little slow by today's standards.

As a kid, LOGAN'S RUN was mesmerizing and epic. As an adult, it didn't hold up to my memory of it.

Another one: Strange Brew. So fucking funny … when you're 12.
 
Speaking of films you wanted to walk out of... O Brother Where art Thou? I was squirming in my seat watching it - just awful. But I didn't want to say anything to my wife because I didn't want to spoil it for her. Turns out she hated it too. We should have left. Not a fan of the Cohen Bros, except possibly Fargo.
