Movies That Were So Bad People Couldn't Even Finish Them

Bad movies are a very special breed.

There are some bad movies that people tend to hold in about as high regard as they do any good movie.

Movies whose mediocrity, or downright awfulness, are almost part of their charm, make going to midnight screenings, or enjoying with friends over a couple of drinks, something to look forward to.

No one would expect Spice World to end up on the national film registry or lists of best films ever made, but it gets viewed repeatedly.

Some bad movies, however, do not fall into that "so bad they're almost good" category.

Indeed, these are the bad movies that people found so unbearably awful, that they couldn't even find it in them to stay with them till the end.


Redditor MichaelDj54 was curious to hear which movies people found so unbearable that sitting through them till the end was never going to happen, leading them to ask:
"What movie was so bad, you didn't even finish it?"

Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the latest Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rising 0.7% in December. Some staples climbed far faster. Beef—which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she unveiled this month—increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.
