The Thin Red Line. (1998)
Worst Movie Ever!
IMDB Link
170 minutes of my life I'll never get back. A confusing pointless parade of cameos of stars which you hopelessly grapple for in hopes that they will be the sign of the start of a story line worth caring about. -
Horror Planet aka Inseminoid
The absolute worst movie I've ever seen was, by far, Horror Planet, aka Inseminoid. I say this while pointing out that I've seen both Iron Eagle II and Highlander II on the big screen.
Hey, a friend and I wanted to watch a good Science Fiction movie, and we had access to all the free movies we could watch through the local video store, because our friend managed it. It was just plain bad. Even though aliens were being born from the stomachs of several characters, the real enemy of the movie seemed to be rocks. While looking among the rocks, one of the characters falls on a rock, resulting in depressurization of his spacesuit and death. While this might sound like a cool effect, it really wasn't. Nothing about this movie was cool at all.
Oh yeah. Sheena is on cable right now, and I'm too lazy to get up and change the channel, so you know Horror Planet had to be bad for me to hate it that much. Sheena is a masterpiece by comparison.

nightfall
Nightfall is probably on of the worst movies I have seen. I was expecting something loosley based on Asimov to be better, but no. The dubbed over english just puts it over the top.

I was an extra in the worst movie ever made!
The movie is called Sing and I am ashamed to say I was part of it. It was only a stupid three second shot of me, but it seemed like a frozen eternity when my girlfriend and I went to see the movie at the cinema. Man it was awful. So bad, we crept out of theatre half way through the movie, sheilding my face all the way.

The Apple
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080380/
"Alphie and Bibi, two sweet, naive youths from Moose Jaw, Canada, have come to America to compete in the 1994 Worldvision Song Festival. Although the pair have talent, they are beaten out by the underhanded tactics of the festival favorites, another duo with the backing of BIM: Boogalow International Music, and its leader, Mr. Boogalow. Though crestfallen by their loss, Bibi and Alphie are soon delighted to hear the Mr. Boogalow has taken an interest in their music and wants to sign them to his label. All is looking up for the two until they begin to discover the dark underside of the rock and roll world."
It's like a weird cross between "Can't Stop the Music" and a Sid & Marty Krofft production from the mid-70s. Bad writing, plot, acting, effects, sets, costumes...and yet, you just have to look at it, like a car wreck. From mind control jewels to futuristic togas, this movie is classically bad. If the name "Menahem Golan" has any significance to you, you must see this awful movie. -
Re:Starship Troopersdewd, Denise Richards is hideous.
Worst actress evar!
She rubber stamps that stupid grin on her face and delivers her lines through her teeth.
It doesn't matter what the scenes context, she still has that stupid inflexible grin on her face.OTOH Dina Meyer is both hot and talented.
To bad she is an underused talent and I think her time has passed.
She's (way) on the wrong side of 25 and won't be seeing many opportunities to strut.Too bad, what a waste =\
-
For me, it was SphereNever before seeing Sphere had I ever been so unhappy that I wanted to leave the theater. I've never left a movie, but that was the closest I came. With every passing minute, the film got worse and worse.
I didn't read the book, so I don't know if the original story was the problem or whether it got the Hollywood treatment, but it sucked.

Vampires vs. Zombieshttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408309/
Worst... horror movie... ever. I knew it was going to be terrible. I mean, read the title. But my friend insisted on renting it. Oh my god... First of all, there were essentially no zombies in the movie. Or rather, there were a few, but pretty much all they did was crawl out of ditches and stand in the highway while vampires driving cars ran them down. Looking back, I'm still not sure which of the main characters were human and which were vampires. The plot at no point made any amount of sense, with characters being introduced for seemingly no reason, hanging around for 5 minutes never to be seen afterward.
On the plus side, there was a vampire-lesbian-sex scene. Even that made no sense though, it just kind of happened.
At the end (warning: spoiler alert
;) ), the zombies finally show up and eat everybody. No explaination, no buildup, they're just all of a sudden there.The movie was thoroughly terrible in every way. If I ever meet the director, I'm going to punch him in the mouth for wasting 80 minutes of my life.

Mulholland Drive
Worst movie I've seen? Easy: Mulholland Drive. David Lynch must have been falling over himself laughing that he was able to get critics to love his movie. Like the idiot philosopher who states "God is one hand clapping" which gets blank stares and nodding heads as if to say "wow, he's so deep". Nonsense. And so is Mulholland Drive - nonsense.

Oh no, I KNOW the worst movie ever made
R.O.T.O.R.: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098156/
I kid you not. The dialog (well, a "script", if you will), the acting, the sets, OMG, it's just awful. Horrible.
I make bets for $ with my co-workers to actually sit through this thing (I got a used VHS of it from a video store in GA) and NOT tell me that it's the worst thing they've ever seen. That's a very subjective thing, yet I've always won.
It has "a special effect," for chrissake, and the visual on the front cover doesn't even show up in the movie. OMG, it's just awful, I'm gonna go sit in the corner and rock myself for a while now... -
Angelo My Love
Angelo My Love is my personal benchmark for bad movies. Imagine a documentary with no narrator, a documentary where nobody speaks any language you understand, a documentary with no subtitles, a documentary about people you don't care about in any way by the end. I don't know what Robert Duvall could have been thinking about when he made it. Did he spend a year in a drug induced coma around 1982-1983?
My wife took me to see this based on the opinion of a particular reviewer. The only good thing that came out of it was that by the end I knew that I had found the perfect movie reviewer, one who's opinion was so completely opposite to mine that I knew from then on to avoid movies he liked and to go to movies he hated. Unfortunately, for both of us, he died a few years later or else I'm sure I would still be using him to check out which movies to watch or avoid.
This movie has become a continuing family joke. Any time I take my wife to see something she hates, it subtracts from the bad movie balance sheet between us, and we laugh about how it still doesn't make up for Angelo My Love. I still have a lot of bad movies to go through before we are even.

Re:Almost any SNL movie
What was wrong with Coneheads?
They are a rip off of Zippy the Pinhead.
I prefer the zen surrealism of ZTP.
Is that how you spell zany?
Are we having fun yet?
My vote goes to Manos the Hands of Fate.
However The Day After Tomorrow is in my top ten. -
by far the worst
Future War.
The most painful movie to watch in the world.

Re:Moulin Rouge
I didn't like Moulin Rouge either, but I will say it had the best versions of Like a Virgin and Smells Like Teen Spirit I had heard.
Some of the worst movies I've seen:
Quills
Dancer in the Dark
It seems like it's common to say, "Dancing Lemons From Outer Space (made up title) was the worst movie of all time". I generally don't watch movies like that, for example I've never seen any of Ed Wood's movies. Movies like those aren't trying to be good, so they can't be the worst. The ones I listed above are trying to be good movies, and they fail miserably, therefore they are terrible, although maybe not the worst. I'm sure there are worse ones out there. -

A few REALLY bad ones:
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Sin http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085935/
One Down, Two to Go: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086051/
After the Fall of New York: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085125/ (I could only stomach about 10 minutes of this one!)
Then there is that simply AWFUL movie that had about 10 minutes of Bruce Lee footage that they pasted in to a movie they were making when he died! They had ACTUAL FOOTAGE from his FUNERAL in the movie! The rest of the scenes were Bruce Li, wearing sunglasses. He would look down, take them off, look up, and POOF! There was Bruce Lee! The funeral footage probably makes this the most TACKY movie of all times! I think it was the one where he fought Kareem Abdul Jabar, if I'm not mistaken. -

An absolutely horrible remake of the classic "Heaven can wait" An insult to the original film.
It's like someone took a good film. Then misinterpreted the essence of it, took it out, replaced it with crap. Anybody who replaces Warren Beaty with Chris Rock realy should get his head examined.
Absolutely hideous.

Re:It changed My perspective of what "good" is.
It's Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama. I can't believe another person out there has also seen this movie. I thought it was only myself and a friend. It's the perfect rental when you want to make fun of a crappy movie.

Naked space or Creature Wasn't Nice, The
I just resaw the movie "Naked Space" or "The Creature Wasn't Nice" this afternoon together with some friends and we all instantly agreed that it must be the worst movie we have ever seen. The monster features a disco dancing monster that looks most like a person wrapped in bacon. imdb info

And the winners are...Worst Foreign Language Film
Alternate titles include "Island of the Mushroom Men" and "Attack of the Mushroom People".
It takes the genius of the man who created Godzilla (Ishiro Honda) to come up with this classic tale, which answers the age-old question "What would you get if Gilligan's Island was remade as a Japanese horror monster movie?"
Five passengers set out on short pleasure trip (a three hour tour?), the weather started getting rough, the tiny yacht was lost - and they end up lost on a deserted island. Fortunately, their lack of food is solved by the abundance of wild mushrooms on the island.
Soon, the Professor and the TV star find an abandoned ship - missing all its mirrors! (ooh...) The ship was a research vessel for studying the effects of radiation on local flora (atomic weapons having been tested near by). The crew is missing. An hour of suspenseless terror follows, as strange creatures begin to "terrorize" our hapless castaways. Eventually, they discover the horrible secret - the Mushroom Men! These terrible creatures use their incredible ZombieSpeed(tm) to chase the castaways around the island in slow motion.
Eventually, the remaining castaways patch up one of the boats and begin to sail away. Everything looks safe, when one of them looks into a mirror and recoils in horror at the face of a... Mushroom Man! The island mushrooms they ate change anyone into a Mushroom Man! The Mushroom Men on the island were actually the missing crew from the research boat! The horror, the horror...

Science Fiction
In the near future, the religious right have staged a coup and rule America under an iron fist of theocratic tyranny. One of their many edicts is that every couple can only have one child (but fruitless and don't multiply). A couple (Christopher Lambert and Female Actress #27) are fleeing the repressive USA for that shining city on a hill, that beacon of democracy and freedom - Mexico! As they try to slip across the border, we learn they are fleeing because the woman is pregnant with their second child - their first having died some tragic death before the movie. They must escape the US, or the evil Christian bible thumper will force her... to have an abortion! (Huh?)
They are caught and Lambert is sent to a high-tech prison dubbed "the Fortress". It is a large hole in the ground, with a central core that contains an elevator and a number of deadly lasers! Each prisoner also must swallow a device that will explode should they leave their slice of the prison cylinder.
Typical scenes of prison life ensue, including a talk with the crusty old-timer who informs Lmabert that he has been there for 35 years - there is no escape! Of course, given the stated timeline, this means that the prisoner has been there since 1979 - which, as we all know, is when Jerry Falwell completed the first of his death-laser dungeons built beneath Liberty University.
It only gets worse from there, folks...

Without a doubt, the worst movie ever foisted upon me by my wife (who also hated it, though not with the same gut-searing passion that I did). I was sorely tempted to leave this movie several times - only the free popcorn refills kept me seated. Damn that evilly-delicious fake butter!

Re:Blah...
Welcome to the pleasures, guilty or not, of "Badfilm". Battlefield Earth is a great example but there are many others. My all time favorite is Zardoz, which has some great lines. It stars Sean Connery and was directed by John Boorman.
Not all terrible movies qualify as great Badfilms, but they're pretty easy to spot. -
Re:Eyes Wide Shut
I also went to see this with my (now ex) girlfriend on our first date. She picked the movie and I thought to myself: "Kubric isn't that bad". Happily thinking about A Clockwork Orange (which is a must-see), and 2001 A Space Odyssey I purchased a ticket.
10 minutes into the movie I'm staring at Nicole Kidmans nipples, thinking to myself "My God, those things are huge on the big screen" trying to supress a chuckle at the thought. About an hour later Tom Cruise is walking around in a castle with people prancing around naked (amongst other things), and my first thought is "Is this like a subtle hint from her?".
On our second date she chose again, and this time she chose Cruel Intentions, which contains a scene where one of the main character performs cunnilingus using the alphabet. Again my first thought is "Subtle hint?"
When we were together for about a year, and went to see or rent several movies, it turned out that each movie she chose always had sex or explicit references to sex in it. She would just pick something at random, and about 10 or 20 minutes into the movie there would be a pair of breasts on the screen.
I miss that girl...

at the beginning of this movie you see guns and ammo spewing out of the mouth of a flying stone head, preaching "guns good, penis bad". And it gets worse from there... Sean Connery, what were you thinking?? http://imdb.com/title/tt0070948/

Megaforce (1982)http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0084316/
This is an INCREDIBLY bad movie. From the Estes rockets shooting from the motorcycles, to Barry Bostwick's crotch showing up in a jumpsuit, to Persis Khambatta thinking she could act after showing up in the first Star Trek movie. I couldn't even watch the whole thing for free on cable, back in the 80's when I'd watch anything with explosions. This movie makes the A-Team look good!

Re:Two obscure ones
Not sure about Pola X, but Waking Life was very interesting for it's use of rotoscoping in a full length feature.

Re:Scooby Doo
I concur, Scooby Doo (http://imdb.com/title/tt0267913/)--the 2002 Live action debacle-- was so bad not only did I want my money back for the rental, I kinda felt like someone ought to have paid me for the 2 hours of my LIFE I can never have back. The characters were bad, the story awful, but the pinacle event making it the WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME is when the bad guy turns out to not be just as you suspect, which is, of course not hard to guess, but is really Scrappy Doo inside the bad guy. Yeah, Scrappy Doo, the worst thing to ever happen to Scooby Doo historically. Truly, an awful experience which should not be repeated by anyone. Please do not subject your children, or even your mortal enemies to this drivel.

Fantastic 4 Movie (Live-Action Non-Animated)
This movie, made in 1994, is only available through download, as it was never intended for actual release. The company's deal with Marvel stated that they had to start production of a Fan-4 movie by a certain date, or loose exclusive rights. So they made this movie knowing that Chris Colombus planned on making a big budget version the next year. They knew that the rival company would not want another Fantastic Four movie to precede theirs, and would buy the product outright, to prevent it from being released. A disposable cast, special effects that look way cheaper than even their television counterparts for the times, and a script with such memorable lines as "Reed is Sooooo dreamy!" from Susan Storm make this look more like a high school project film than a Holywood production. I feel truly sorry for the poor cast and crew, who were told that they were making a real movie! To Quote the IMDB database- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109770/maindetails The movie contains one of the all-time great "bad movie" moments. Doctor Doom's henchmen come to kidnap Alicia Masters. They sneak up behind her and do the standard "chloroform rag over the mouth" bit to render her unconscious. And we get the standard point-of-view shot from her, seeing the bottom half of the screen covered by the rag and then the rest of the image going from clear to fuzzy to black, as to show us what she is seeing as it happens. Pretty standard for numerous low-budget action movies. One problem though. The character of Alicia Masters is completely, totally, and in all ways, blind.

Meet the Feebles, one of Peter Jackson's early movies (his second, iirc), is the worst movie I've ever seen. Dead Alive was a riot, but Meet the Feebles makes such masterpieces as Plan 9 and Gigli look like, well, masterpieces. The second worst is Coven, pronounced coe-ven, which was the movie produced (or rather excreted) by the stars of the documentary American Movie (a wonderful, hilarous, truth-is-stranger-than-fiction film). The third worst is The Double-D Avenger, about a superheroine whose powers come from certain parts of her anatomy, as suggested by the title. It is not a porno, but has all the plot and acting of one. Coven is better than American Movie leads you to expect, and The Double-D Avenger is at least amusingly bad, but Meet the Feebles is simply irredeemable.
