Worst movie in recent years?
Topic says it all.
What is the worst movie you have seen in recent years?
My vote goes to Code 46.

Does 5 years ago count as recent years?
If so, my vote goes to Changing Lanes. The only thing memorable is my wife's water broke.

Between (Gig)li & Changing Lanes that's 2 Afflecks and counting.
Dismiss all sleep enhancing medication and get Northfork. Anyone within its spell will be out cold in 20 or less.

Mack,
I do recall Northfork. Boy, you're right. That was a snorer.
And Nolte was in another a few years ago... what was the one where James Coburn got an Oscar for best supporting actor? He was on screen for like 12 minutes in the entire movie. As I recall that one was a stinker as well.
And on that topic, Kathy Bates got a similar Oscar... something about the sea in the titel. She had even less screen time.

Now that I think of it, there have been so many bad movies in the last few years that perhaps I should have limited it to bad movies that had one or more nominations for academy awards.
LOL - Lost in Translation... I just don't get it. Babel a close second to that one.

Worst movie I ever saw was a mishmash called "Cold Heaven," with Theresa Russell and Mark Harmon. Made no sense and she didn't even get naked.

A little ditty named "Tiptoes"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0316768/
Quote:

Gary Oldman plays as a dwarf brother to a normal-sized Matthew McConaughey. When McConaughey's girlfriend (played by Kate Beckinsale) becomes pregnant, the pair are fearful that the baby will inherit the Oldman gene. Matters are complicated still further when Beckinsale finds herself falling in love with Oldman's character.

Speaking of Bad movies, can you believe that Steve (new groom) Martin, is making a sequel to the first awful Pink Panther movie he did?
Even the trailors for that movie were terrible, not to mention the movie itself.
I like Steve Martin and all, but geez, does he have no shame?
Answer: He traded shame for 20 million $'s. !

Hands down winner! Open Water! Not only an awful script and awful acting, but awful camera work as well.

Another AssFlick flick living in infamy: Pearl Harbor. Teabagger Ben's Jimmy Caan wannabe act was tired halfway through his very first scene at the grade school talent show.
Kathy Bates, a fine actress, had a REAL stinker (no, not the one with JNich wherein she, erm ... released the twins {AGGH! AAGH!}): the one with Rupert Whatshisname, the gay guy with a physiognomy that has prompted more than one bartender to interrogate thusly: "Buddy, why the long face?" In this film, Barry Manilow appears at the end to sing live at the awards ceremony honoring Kathy and Rupert for doing nothing while some murderer killed himself, or some such tosh.

This does not satisfy the "recent years" criterion, but that old Richard Harris movie about a rugby player ... The Sporting Life? ... The Roar of the Crowd? Something like that. Surprisingly horrid.
Good call on Tom Hanks Versus The Talent, or whatever. Strange, but I could take the whole hoaky, taking-itself-seriously crap until I discovered the old guy had lied, and Touchdown Tommy did NOT have cancer, and everybody was fine with it. Weird, huh? That movie deserved Sheely Long, and vice versa.
