Purple Rain may one of the very best musical movies ade, but what about the worst, there are so many.

I watched a movie on this cheep ass cable channel we have here called MGM Classics called the Apple and it was from 1980, it had some of the worst disco music ever made with phone in beats and ESOL lyrics "There ain't no power, There ain't no shame" and the worst ever acting I have seen. It was a parable about two singers who joined a musical organisation (B.I.M Boogalow International Music, led by Mr Boogalow who is actually the devil in disguise, most of music is high energy disco numbers and folksy ballads, anyway Boogalow has several nasty henchman including a camp black guy called Shake who wears disco glitter drag outfits, does campy poses like smoking a 40cm long ciggarette with holder and has silver coloured glitter lipstick on his lips, and several bald guys with straps and stuff on their bare chests, the stars are all kept in line with drugs and sex orgies. Anyway the singers rebel, the girl signs with BIM but he dosen't he joins a hippy colony led by Mr Topps (God) and she runs away and finds him and them BIM tracks them down but they are all saved by God who emerges from a cadillac in the sky and he rescues them and the hippies, apparently ready to take them to a new planet which he hasn't found yet.

Okay if that isn't bad enough, its all cheap ass, and the acting skills are non existent, they all break into song every 2 minutes which is beyond wretchable as the songs are all unlistenable tosh, and no one really has a decent voice. Its also set apparently in 1994, but all the costumes are purely late 70s disco, white flares, spangled silver glitter outfits with sequins and the film apparently American was filmed in Germany (Possibly east, judging by all the brutalist architecture of the stadiums), cheap ness dosen't stop with fins attached to cars and people wearing space suits to give the image of the future, and the cast excepting 2 or 3 actors were all British with British accents, although its believed most of the extras (BIM stars, hippies and audiences were Eastern European).

I nominate this as the worst music movie ever made. So my list of the 5 worst

1. The Apple 1980

2. Thank God its Friday 1978

3. Graffiti Bridge 1990

4. Can't Stop the Music 1979

5. The Disco Godfather 1976

Amazing how they are all disco except number 3

SO WHAT ARE YOUR WORST 5 MUSIC MOVIES

1. Xanadu

2. The Jazz Singer (1980)

3. Footloose

4. Rock Star (2001)

5. Moulin Rough! (2001) that manure was horrible.

The Apple is considered a cult classic...atleast it says so on the dvd I purchased a few months ago. I remember it playing on The Movie Channel back in the 80's and never really watched it with attention (on on the background). I knew it waqs camp and cant wait to rewatch it fully now when I get the time. There was one line in it that has intrigued me to this day, it may be from Boogalow but its someone who appears to be stereotypically what they call "eurotrash" making the statement "c'est la vie...my friend" in a campy dramatic way lol. I bought it just to find that line

'Can't Stop The Music.It is horrible

Grease 2

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band - 1978

Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park - 1978

Cool As Ice - 1991

From Justin To Kelly - 2003

Tougher Than Leather

Poetic Justice

Yellow Submarine. I've seen it several times and I still have no idea what's going on.

Blues Brothers 2000, but I like the Louisiana Gator Boys.

Clambake

Pink Floyd's The Wall

3 Chains O' Gold

Trespass (Ice-T & Ice Cube)

Dick Tracy

High School Confidential (Marlon Jackson). I haven't seen the entire movie, but I saw enough of it.

Grease 2 was real stupid.
So was Blues Brothers '00.

Cool as Ice

Cool as Ice was the dumbest movie ever made.

Oh my God I had forgotten about Cool as Ice, its bad but much better than The apple. I thought Footloose was actually quite good. But seriously some of those Disco movies were god awful. Apparently India made one in 1982 and the Yugoslavian offering (DISKO) from 1984 is unwatchable.

I think this is more boring and generic than really bad. But where else can you see a western with Bobby Brown & Lil' Kim and a "musical score" of hip hop beats?

Spiceworld

I've watch THIS^ film for the first time on YouTube over the summer of 2010. Although I liked Emma for her cute face & Mel C for her singing vocals at the time, THIS film was terrible.

Footloose is one of those 1980's films that I like for all of the wrong reasons!

And speaking of The Jazz Singer, the 1927 original is THE worst:

Indeed it was The first 'Grease' is one of the greatest musical films of all time.There was no way to duplicate that magic.They should have just left it alone.

I've erased "The Jazz Singer" 1927 from my memory. . . don't get me started.

Like "Footloose", uh? The begining of the end for Kenny Loggins music career.

And the end for Aunt Niecy's too(Deniece Williams) despite the fact that her biggest hit came from that movie.

That was the ironic thing. Kenny had one more hit with "The Danger Zone" for Top Gun but yeah that was it. lol

All I can think when I see that Al Jolson screenshot is "MAMMY!"

Just throwing another one into the mix (there a lot here already though )

See, that's why I erased that movie from my memory, until Tony felt the need to post that picture.

I forgot about Niecy, "The Footlose Cruse"

Damn if I can remember right she was in there But just everybody going to the disco and Donna was enough for me-nice movie.

The mentioned Moulin Rouge won 2 Oscars nevertheless

At least Neil Diamond's one and only blackface scene in an all black nightclub was funny as hell, especially the riot that happen after he got busted.

But with Al Jolson, him and the Warner Brothers deserved some kicks in the nuts!
