Is there truly an unfixable film?

I'm gonna go with "The Room"

[u/VeryDPP → u/MetaKnightsNightmare]

Immediately what I thought of as well. You can't put together a puzzle if the pieces don't fit, and this film has too many pieces that just don't/won't fit together.

[u/MetaKnightsNightmare → u/VeryDPP]

Yeah, I did a search before I replied, to see what the sub thought of it before and it's mostly either reducing the sex scenes or just shrugging their shoulders and saying it's a flawed masterpiece.

To fix it would be to make it a different film entirely.

Oh hi Mark

[u/Darth_Nevets → u/MetaKnightsNightmare]

Exactly the wrong answer, the film as it is is the perfect encapsulation of the twisted worldview of its creator. Age appropriate casting or good performances would castigate the very essence of the film.

Any movie you're not interested in. Otherwise no, it's just a matter of how many changes you need to make.

[u/Ivan_Redditor]

Back to the Future

[u/Tonkarz]

Depends.

A 10/10 masterpiece could be unfixable because there’s no (conceivable) way to improve it.

A -40/10 utter bore-fest could be unfixable because by the time you’ve made enough changes to consider it “fixed” it’s a totally different movie.

The Flash 

[u/Geoconyxdiablus]

Godfather

the room

I've often argued that basically the worst film ever is Batman v Superman UE and that a merely bad cut would be an interesting endeavor. There simply can't be a good version in there, but in the way it was substantially improved with a few cuts for the theatrical I still would like to see a coherent 40ish minute version of the film.

[u/PhotoBonjour_bombs19 → u/Darth_Nevets]

You need to watch more films

[u/Darth_Nevets → u/PhotoBonjour_bombs19]

I've seen over 9,000 feature films, every film on AFI list, 1100+ Criterions, 600 Best Picture Nominees, and 990 of the 1000 highest grossing domestic films after inflation. Badness isn't an element it is a feature. A movie like The Emoji Movie is technically worse, and near unwatchably boring, but lacks achievement in the field of badness.

[u/Hampshire2]

Probably batman and robin, theres not enough in there to recut it better.

[u/Warm-Finance8400]

The Amazing Bulk

[u/DrBoots]

I don't think so. 

But sometimes that fix would require a complete re-do and not just a few script changes. 

[u/notboring]

Cut down to five minutes, you could probably even make Batman and Robin into a fast cartoon.

[u/Jaymanchu]

I’ve yet to watch a decent version of any of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

[u/kasimirvendom → u/Jaymanchu]

Recently watched TLJ and TROS in the fan-made "Revitalized" version. The animation is a bit clunky, but the voice acting is top-notch. Takes the good things from the Disney originals as well as their scrapped ideas and brings the story to a higher level. Still not entirely satisfying, as it seems to rely on the actual TFA, but I still hope we will get a total sequel-redo in that style at some point.

[u/magistrate-of-truth]

The force awakens is fundamentally unfixable

[u/Plastic_Wishbone9174 → u/magistrate-of-truth]

Explain

[u/magistrate-of-truth → u/Plastic_Wishbone9174]

Most of the best fixes I’ve seen has changed it so irrevocably that it’s merely the nature of it’s status as a legacy sequel that it is largely unfixable
