Carl Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Let's talk bad music movies: Films with a music connection that assaulted at least two of our senses. To define "Music Movie," we'll go with any flick that IMDB puts in the "music" or "musical" category, so Satisfaction and Xanadu are both eligible. List your top 3 with any comments you'd like to share as to why the film should never be viewed by humans, and we'll see if we can come up with a consensus.

MuzikTyme Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have to say, I was very disappointed in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band "movie" back in '78. I was so eager to hear Peter Frampton, BeeGees, Aerosmith etc., etc., playing to one of the Beatles' most controversial efforts. Back before I saw it, I would have paid beaucoupe to see it. But now, a person couldn't pay me enough to watch it ever again. That's number one. Carl, coincidentally you've already named the other two I was thinking of! 1.Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 2.Xanadu 3.Satisfaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 For me one of the worst ever is Rocky Horror Picture Show, though most would disagree. That movie gave me nightmares when I was young and I thought the acting was transparent and the singing wasn't up to par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Rhinestone The Wiz Paint Your Wagon - It 's a pain to listen to Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin sing. But the Nat King cole and Stubby Kaye segments are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That movie gave me nightmares when I was young and I thought the acting was transparent and the singing wasn't up to par. That's sort of the point of RHPS. It lampoons sci-fi movies of the 50s, which were pretty poorly acted. Grease 2 I could not agree more. I loathe that movie Some people, even though they agree Xanadu is a bad movie, actually LIKE it I'm adding Light of Day. Michael J Fox was more believable as a teenage werewolf than he was as a potential rock star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 1. Caddyshack 2 (1988) - Worst sequel ever done. Jackie Mason and Dyan Cannon headed a dreadful cast. 2. Pearl Harbor (2001) - Only Ben Affleck can turn the history of Pearl Harbor, into a sappy lame soap opera. 3. Howard The Duck (1986)- What the @#!! was that.

Uncle Joe Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 This won't be a popular nomination but I absolutely hated Mama Mia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I don't think Pearl Harbor was a musical. Good on you Joe, I didn't want to go see that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Ooops, I Think I missed the musical part. Scratch my nominations, though Pearl Harbor was a horrible flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) I tried to watch Pearl Harbor and just kept losing interest and going back to the computer. I just can't take Ben Affleck seriously, but Kate Beckinsale is nice to look at. Edited March 4, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 It is true, but I can't believe I paid real money to see: Mame - A poor rip off of an already questionably OK musical titled "Hello Dolly." Thoroughly Modern Milly - With the exception of an elevator tap dance sequence, thoroughly blah musical movie. The Carol Channing biplane sequence is thoroughly embarrassing. Guys And Dolls - Certainly "Luck Be A Lady Tonight" made it as a hit for Sinatra; and "A Bushel And A Peck" is a very cute little song, but neither could carry an entire movie, as they would have had to have done in order to keep this crap game afloat. Pop quiz: A story about the sensitive side of the mob should never a. be a musical. b. feature the singing talents of Marlon Brando. c. try to highlight the syndicate's desires for a closer relationship with the Salvation Army. d. consider any of these. You know a movie is in trouble when one of its biggest musical numbers is titled, "If I Were A Bell." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I hate Fiddler On The Roof. I always have. I find it boring and I find the music uninteresting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I HATED Sweet Charity. I loved some of the songs and Shirley McLaine was awesome, but some how the movie never gelled for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 The list can't be complete without Can't Stop the Music - BRUCE JENNER! THE VILLAGE PEOPLE! Directed by Rhoda's mother! Studio execs should never simultaneously snort mountains of coke and brainstorm. The Apple Phantom of the Paradise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonelyday Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 This won't be a popular nomination but I absolutely hated Mama Mia. Glad I'm not the only one. I'm not a huge ABBA fan, so I probably never would have loved it, but you'd have thought they could have hired actors with better voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanTurtle Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Across The Universe - Didn't really do it for me Mama Mia - I know it's already listed, but I can't stand ABBA. I almost threw up when I heard about them getting inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame. The Sound of Music - I know everyone loves it and I'm crazy for hating it. I don't know why, but it just annoyed me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
