I'm sure you've either heard of or seen a movie that was so bad, you never wanted to watch it again but you had to tell someone about it. Now there are a lot of movies that people say are the worst film of all time, some of which I go into in this video, but I think I've got one that no human being should be forced to sit through. That's the question I try to answer today, what is the worst movie ever made?

@VexylObby 2 года назад

Ehhhhhh, talking is not necessarily better than not talking. People can talk about a lot of unproductive or pointless nonsense. Many action movies are just a bunch of thoughtless events. No reason to exist or benefit. I would rephrase by saying “a bad movie should be be what nobody ever THINKS about”. They are shared experiences meant to enhance our lives, after all. If we end up thinking of them again, or they help us interpret the world, then they aren’t so bad after all.

I think it would be necessary to narrow the decisition to certain criteria: *Budget (films that have, at least, some production value to be considered movies, not experiments). *characters /Plot *Movies that made it to cinemas at least * Big studio behind them This would tipically ensure that a movie Is watchable/enjoyable, but that is not always the case. It would be interesting to choose the "worst movie" from this kind of films

@punishedwhirligig3353 2 года назад

Agreed, I feel like he should have went into what he would choose if the criteria was asked.

@SupaKoopaTroopa64 2 года назад

My guess would be that, by those criteria, the worst film would likely be some mass produced children's movie.

@phrike7588 2 года назад

Indeed. On the other hand, "the worst movie i've seen" kinda narrows it down to at least one of those criteria's since people usually just watch movies that's released to the public and have some money behind them. I can't even remember the worst movie i've seen. That's probably why it's the worst. James had this movie in his mind since he was tortured with it in school :).

I'm really glad you had that opener as you explained that a "bad movie" can have a lot of meanings. What people in popular media commonly hold as "bad movies" often pale in comparison to what is actually bad, of which many fall under the radar due to production standards. There are heaps of movies much less enjoyable than all of these "bad" movies just waiting on VHS tapes for someone to find. You know, maybe that's a good reason to completely phase out VHS, to get away from these shitheaps. Great video.

@TheBonsaiTreehouse 2 года назад

Oh man, this takes me back to when I specialised in video game studies at university; I specifically studied the works of Philip Glass and Robert Wilson, the man who made a 5 hour long opera with no intermissions called 'Einstein on the Beach' (produced nine years after James' "worst film ever" candidate) that was designed around hypnotic repetition and monotonous audio-visual sensations to induce strong "interior screen" emotions through an intentionally drawn-out lack of audience stimulation. Their techniques which I applied to my final year game project (which I ended up receiving top marks for lol) along with a dose of inspiration from Penn & Teller's Desert Bus, remind me so much of the sensations described in this video and it makes me think that it can't be the worst movie ever either, because the people who made this movie 'Wavelength' knew exactly what they were doing just as I did back in university. And we both succeeded. 😈

@bloopboop9320 2 года назад

I feel like it needs to be clarified as "worst film released in 100+ theaters" because one could fill a list with the millions of z-grade straight to DVD trash that gets released everyday. By clarifying a theater count, it ensures that it was a movie that hoped to make money back and assumed there was an audience. Wavelength sounds sort of like a worse version of watching a Stan Brakhage film. Stan Brakhage at least had interesting editing techniques and visual changes occurring at such a fast rate that there is a sense of visual narrative and progression through shapes and contrast, but wavelength sounds like the equivalent of Andy Warhol's Empire where there isn't any real value in the film itself other than just a test.

It sounds to me like wavelength achieved it's goals. I don't think it was meant to be entertaining it was meant to make you feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable or even angry. It's not supposed to be enjoyable it's supposed to be felt and discussed. I feel like a movie is bad when it fails to achieve it's own goals at least in an artistic sense. That being said I think wavelength sounds like an awful experience and really hateable.

Similarly, but more mainstream, are movies such as Requiem for a Dream or Uncut Gems. They may not be pleasant or relaxing to watch, but definitely worthwhile in my humble opinion. Not saying that the exact same goes for Wavelength, as there is more intricate (visual) storytelling in those two movies (to name just one difference), but one could certainly argue it has value due to its strong emotional impact.
