Jurassic Park: Lost World
Mr. Wrong
Both terrible, terrible movies. And both with actors I love: Alessandro Nivola in JP:LW and Ellen in Mr. Wrong. Do not see these movies! I saw them many many years ago, and I'm still not quite over the trauma they caused.

I didn't think Lost World was all that bad - it's certainly not as good as the first one. I like the whole "RV sliding off a cliff" sequence.
The movie that sticks out in my head as being the worst ever (I may have even booed at the end) was "Vertical Limit." I starred Chris O'Donnell (sp?) and focused on the intersection of mountain climbing and nitroglygerin. Total crap.
I also thought JP:LW was ok. But then, I like dinosaurs quite a bit.
I can't believe you guys liked JP:LW. I thought it was so ridiculous. The first one pretty much rules though.
I agree that the first one rules. This is UNIX! I know this!
The two movies I would have walked out of had I not been there with others:
Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Not funny. Painful.
John Carpenter's Vampires. I agreed to see this because I had just joined a new lab in grad school, one of the guys in the lab asked if I wanted to go see it with them, and I was happy to be asked and wanted to be one of the gang. Mistake.
I remember wanting to walk out on Men in Tights, myself. That thing had one good joke - Ye Olde Book Depository. How I laughed at that one.
And o, how I did not laugh at the rest.
I was trying to think of movies I wanted to walk out on. The one that springs the most to mind is Phantom Menace, which I couldn't walk out on because, you know, Star Wars.
The other is Requiem for a Dream, which I saw at the Ritz at the Bourse near Johns Hopkins. Nobody else in the theater liked it, and one guy started heckling it. I think that guy made it bearable for me.
Speaking for myself and Nell, Robinhood: Men in Tights is a great movie, full of many farcical laughs.
