The Worst Movie You Ever Saw In The Theater

Need some filler for today, and frankly, I feel like writing even less than usual (yes, that is possible). Everyone seemed to be in a chatty mood yesterday over rob's pending sports free agency, so was hoping to channel that interactivity and make this a sort of open thread post.

The title tells you where I'm headed...what is the worst movie you ever saw in a theater. I believe I have mentioned this more than once in this space before, but for me it is a dead-heat photo finish between two films, "Warlock" and "Graveyard Shift", with Graveyard Shift winning by a rat's nose. Because I am incapable of doing a post without YouTube clips, here are the trailers for each film:

Graveyard Shift



Warlock



Join me in the comments, won't you, and regale us with tales of the worst movie film you ever saw in a theater. Or don't. I don't care. You're all jerks, anyway.

  1. A Night at the Roxbury is the only movie I have ever walked out of. Vegas Vacation is a close second for worst movie I have ever seen in a theater.

  14. I just noticed that ESPN is using the script Tribe logo on the bottom line for Willliam & Mary. That should make all you smart kids happy.

  15. actually had a conversation tonight at the pub about highlander II. the movie that made me a critic.

    on another note, my mountain bike has amazing brakes. so good, that when you ride drunk, it is very dangerous.

    Also, Tottenham is quickly becoming the most likable EPL franchise. Nash is a huge supporter and now Dempsey. If I was Rob I might ditch Arsenal and switch to the Spurs.
