I did just think of a couple I saw in theaters all the way through, on dates both times.
Howard The Duck
Moment By Moment (Lily Tomlin and John Travolta)
Worn glasses ever since.
Waterworld would be another one for me. I was a big Costner fan and that was at the peak of his career when about every movie he was making was damn good. So I was excited and man was it bad.
Look, I get things are subjective, I'm just shocked you would classify Anchorman as 'the worst movie you watched in it's entirety". That movie has given us some classic one liners. I get that juvenile based comedies probably lose some of their appeal as we mature, but worst movie?
Ishtar was a bad movie, Benny and June, Glitter, Spiderman 3, Superman 4, Gigli, Norbit..maybe nobody made it through any of those.
You're kidding right? Children of Men has some of the best single shot action sequences in film. The one where he runs down a street in a battle is amazing. My least favorites seem to be the bad family movies or comedies like Daddy Day Camp, Lone Ranger, the Love Guru, Blended.
I walked out of Ishtar... And The Ring. Only two movies I abandoned before they were over.Look, I get things are subjective, I'm just shocked you would classify Anchorman as 'the worst movie you watched in it's entirety".

I would have to say the very worst movie I have ever seen was on dvd and that was "Hobo with a shotgun".
The worst movie watched in a theater had to be " Dr T and the women".
I think post gerbil Richard Gere.

Thank god for Jeanne Tripplehorn in that flick.paper......

How ironic. Same girl as Howard The Duck as with Top Gun.

Why does that not surprise me?
Garp, the book was better, but then in my mind, it's very few movies that surpass the books.
Good Will Hunting? Well, there's no accounting for taste. Why do I think you're not a big fan of Affleck or Damon? Just a hunch.
I think it contains maybe Robin Williams finest performance and a well-deserved Oscar.
Wayne's world. Yawn.
I mean I can see why people wouldn't like it. But worst you've ever sat through? You must not have seen many movies.
Out of Africa was very bad and very boring. At the beginning of the movie it looked like a lion might eat Meryl Streep. It didn't and the rest of the movie was a waste of time.

Links,
Just that I went to both 1986 movies you listed - on dates with the same girl. She picked both.
I'm not really a Top Gun nut - it's merely "decent" and I went to both as "she picked them" movies. The combat scenes...one thing I couldn't get past is they used F-5's as the vaunted MiG 29's I believe they were referred to as...which was borderline laughable.
I understand back then that stuff is hard to replicate accurately...such as using Douglas Dauntlesses as Japanese planes in numerous movies about WWII. I'm a bit of a war movie snob in that respect. The 60's era Battle of the Bulge movie battle scenes shot in Spain with blotches of paint on the terrain in the tank battles (or nothing resembling snow at all)...that type of thing. The movie "Midway"...utterly ridiculous genuine war film of battles with planes that never took part in the ballet at all.
Anyway, Top Gun. I thought the whole Goose died part of it was meh and terribly predictable. As time went on, I don't believe it aged well. For instance...a couple buddies of mine, whenever we need something to happen that is somewhat..."wishful thinking" (like when we played video games long ago)...we look at each other and say "talk to me, Goose" lampooning certain aspects of the dialogue.
Possibly Bolero with Bo Derek. People were actually bitching for a refund on the way out. It was that bad.
Hey, I kind of like Showgirls. It's definitely not profound but has a lot of fine looking ladies with minimal coverage. Doesn't really need a plot, as such.Showgirls
Yes, but its a $h+ttE movie.Hey, I kind of like Showgirls. It's definitely not profound but has a lot of fine looking ladies with minimal coverage. Doesn't really need a plot, as such.
.........................................................................................................................................I'm a BIG "In Harm's Way" fan. Otto Preminger! Paula Prentiss and Jill Haworth (carefully shot in the rape scene with Kirk Douglas...wet t-shirt time basically)...yeah buddy. Always had a thing for Paula Prentiss.
I've always been a sucker for certain big budget lowly-reviewed movies from that era...examples like (certainly not limited to)...
Sink The Bismarck!
I'm a movie collector...just passed the 1,000 mark in movies in my collection, all on my networked hard drives. Got 3 hours to kill, pull out an old favorite. Certainly better than 99% of movies made today.

I would prolly go with Warterworld. However i just watched A Million Ways to Die in the West and that may be worst movie ever.
I am most surprised to see Napolean Dynamite on this list.
You know, the first time I saw Napoleon Dynamite, I didn't know what to think, but upon viewing it a few more times or parts of it, I've come to appreciate it much more. Kip and Uncle Rico are a riot and of course, who doesn't bow to your sensei with Rex Kwando. It's really just a little underrated/quirky fable of staying true to who you are.
Anchorman 2 was BRUTAL. First 30 mom were ok l, after that it was a mess.
Off the top of my head, "Ghostbusters" and "Groundhog Day" were far beyond "reasonably good" and were both after "48 Hours."
