Highlander: 10th Anniversary Director's Cut
It's probably the only Director's Cut I've ever seen that actually made a movie worse than the original version. The original theatrical version was just so much superior. The scenes that were put back in and the way it was re-edited was just horrendous.
-edit-
Oh wait.. I thought of another one. Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. Nothing else needs to be said about that one. | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader

| | Posted: | | | | Ju-On (Japan)  I usually like the Japanese horror originals better than the remakes, and I thought The Grudge was pretty good. But Ju-On is one of the worst made films I've ever seen, just really bad, couldn't wait to get rid of it. |

Biggest regrets:
Strange Days
Silence of the Lambs
Hannibal (which I have not, and will not, watched)
Lone Star
Bedazzled
Fantasia 2000 (only because so much was repeated from the original, otherwise it was ok)
French Connection 1 & 2
Looney Tunes: Back in Action (I had loved Space Jam and hoped this one would be as good - it was a major disappointment)
Mortal Thoughts
Royal Tenenbaums
TV Series:
A Bit of Fry and Laurie: This was a bit of a disappointment
I Dream of Jeannie: It was not as good as I had remembered from my youth - I probably won't complete the series
The Protectors: Not as good as I remembered - I probably won't complete the series You didn't care for Lone Star ? It's still one of my favorite movies. |

| | Posted: | | | | Immediately springing to mind... Say It Isn't So! Serving Sarah these have pretty much turned me off of romantic comedies and even comedies in general. How bad can they get?? liorb22: when you bought "Paris, France", you must have thought you were buying "Paris, Texas"... one of my best blind purchases!  | | | | in canada, no one can hear you scream |

I'm quite glad that I've never seen them then, if they're worse than Ju-On was. Actually they might be slightly better than JU-ON: THE GRUDGE (official title for the theatrical Japanese films)  The director has made literally 7 almost identical versions of the same film: Ju-on: The Curse 1 Ju-on: The Curse 2 Ju-on: The Grudge Ju-on: The Grudge 2 Ju-on: The Grudge 3 The Grudge The Grudge 2 I hear his MAREBITO is very good though, Katatonia. Anyway; regretting buying stuff... constantly, but IMO you've gotta take a few risks in order to dig out the "pearls." | | | Erik

| | Posted: | | | | The only film I can think of right now is The Fall of the Roman Empire, over three hours of utter boredom. Quoting Blade: Quote:

Purchased an ex-rental copy 4 years ago and still haven't managed to watch more than 15 mins before zzzzzZZZZZ!!!! If you found that boring, try watching Tarkovsky's version  . Personally, I absolutely loved the 2002 version and the 1972 version was good too but I can understand that those movies aren't for everyone. | | | | Last edited: by JR1911 |

| | Posted: | | | | There are several titles I regret buying, but I always just sell or trade them.. so I can't really remember too many of them! One of my recent bad purchases was "Madagascar". I was waiting for some a nice animation like A Shark's Tale or Shrek, but it turned out to be a big, big disappointment. It didn't have any plot really.. and it wasn't even funny at all. The only thing I liked about the movie was the voice acting. I just got rid of the disc today, now I'm happy again.  | | | | "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright." |

| | Posted: | | | | The Matador. Just an absolutely lousy movie. In the previews for the movie it looked pretty good but I didn't realize that those were the best parts of the movie. |
