16. The worst movie I ever saw was called "Horror Planet"

Wed Jan 29, 2014, 10:45 PM

Jan 2014

It was a low-budget knock off of Alien that also went by the names "Inseminoid" and "Voodoo Planet"

..of course, one would reasonably expect this to have been a very bad movie.

Here are films I expected to maybe like, but were huge disappointments to total bombs. I'd like these hours of my life back. Like your case with "Old Gringo", many of these have actors or directors I ordinarily like, or otherwise came highly recommended. They are in no particular order.

2001; A Space Odyssey
Eyes Wide Shut
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Wizards
High Anxiety
Jabberwocky
The Artist
The Remains of The Day
Once Upon a Time in America
Treasure Planet
Barton Fink

How dare you diss High Anxiety! :) Actually, I loved it. valerief Jan 2014 #27
