I’m expecting to be flamed for this.
The worst movie that I have seen in a LONG time (and unfortunately was bludgeoned with again last night) isn’t Catwoman. It isn’t Jaws 4, or Tremors 3. It isn’t Leprechaun in the Hood.
It’s Alien.
Yes, the original Alien by Ridley Scott in 1979. I don’t care if it’s a “classic”. I don’t care if Aliens (1986) was awesome. The first Alien is the biggest waste of 116 minutes ever. You have:
1) Horribly predictable plot
2) The worst acting of all time. “It’s a robot. Ash is a goddamn robot.”
3) Lack of any good looking actors. Yes, Sigourney Weaver gets down to her tighty whiteys in a cold escape shuttle thing – but she’s not much to look at.
4) 115 minutes of no action in a 116 minute action sci-fi film.
5) Lowest budget ever. Using raw chicken for alien eggs, and milk for the android = laughable at best.
6) The lack of SEEING the damn alien. The movie is named after a deadly creature that you see for a total of maybe 4 minutes in the entire movie.
I realize this was 1979. The best part about this whole thing, is that in 2002 the United States National Film Registry deemed Alien as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” The only thing significant about this movie was my desire to be doing absolutely anything at that time other than watching it. Thanks Chris for the awesome movie night at your house 
So, to start a meme – what’s the worst movie of all time that you have ever seen?
