LOL!! Gotta love how 'The Usual Suspects' have immediately jumped on

this thread to show off their level of Trenchant Sophistication. As in, 'I'll be sure to list Popular Movies as my Worst Ever, to immediately separate myself from those Wallowing in the Wretched Filth of the Unwashed Masses!
The OP's subject line was 'worst film/movie you've ever watched.
So, 'The Usual Suspects' was the tip-top, worst film you've ever seen?
'The English Patient'-the worst of the worst?
'Lawrence of Arabia', for chrissakes!
Pauline Kael once said something to the effect of 'If I was headed to the altar, and found out my fiance' liked 'Forest Gump', I'd run screaming from the church' (very much paraphrasing here). However, I doubt even she would have said it was the worst movie/film she's ever watched!
Hard to imagine the Level of Intellect required to have listed 'Atonement' as the worst movie ever seen, because it's, quote, 'an elegant lie'.
Fascinating stuff-
Oh, and thanks to the 'PhilJs' of the thread, who aren't afraid to admit that they tried to sit through 'Norbit'. I think that's what the OP had in mind.
