What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen?
prostoalex asks: "A recent Ask Yahoo! article talks about the worst movies ever made and points out this IMDB list of the bottom rankings. The Ask Yahoo! article names Manos The Hands of Fate the worst one, but apparently the IMDB table changed since then to include The Wild World of Batwoman at the top of the list. What would you consider the worst movie ever made? Perhaps anything listed here would also make the list?"
Pretty much anything featured on MST3K could be considered for the "worst... movie... ever..."
Almost any of the SNL movies minus Wayne's World, Blues Brothers, and Office Space (started as a short animated SNL skit).
It's Pat
The Ladies Man
A Night At The Roxbury
Superstar
Stuart Saves His Family
Mr. Bill's Real Life Adventures
Coneheads
Blues Brothers 2000
Now a Sprockets movie... that would have kicked ass...

This one beats them all. I've never seen anything as STUPID as "Cabin Fever". "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is deep compared to that piece of shit.
Went to see it 'cuz it had a good preview, as far as sucky movies it had it all, very bad acting, cheesy inconsistent plot, and really bad special effects, I want my $7 back! M
The worst move ever. Overall the movie reminded me of a medieval Scary Movie; however, the sad thing was it wasn't supposed to be. It was a bunch of pop culture integrated with the story of Arthur. The Saxons looked like the Barbarians in the Capital One Commercials. You know, "What's in your wallet?" Arthur's speech was a cross between William Wallace's in Braveheart and Henry the V's St. Crispin Day speech. The fight scenes were obviously choreographed. The acting was stereotypical British acting that reminded me of Eddie Izzard's commentary of stacking matches. I expected the Saxon kind to ask if Arthur had a flag. To sum it up it was the biggest waste of my money ever.
It was a TV show, not a movie, thats why it sucked...:)

If the earth's magnetic field is weakened, microwave radiation will get through to the surface of the earth and literally cook anything on the surface!
And of course, nuclear weapons will get the core spinning again, and said nuclear weapons must be delivered to the core by a manned vessel.
This movie was even worse than GNfOS.

Badmovies.org has quite a good list. Of which 'elves' appears to be my favorite
What the fuck? Moderators on slashdot just keep getting stupider and stupider.
For those who are unaware, Gayniggers From Outer Space is an actual movie. Science fiction/comedy film from 1992.
Stupid ignorant fucks.
As a huge fan of bad movies I have seen Manos about 15 times. It is the worst made movie in every way. Nothing went right. It is like a train wreck, so horrible you CANT look away. It was financed, written, directed and starred a fertiliser salesman. 'Nuff said.
What post? The one you're carrying inside your rusty innards!
Pure propaganda - chock full of deceit. The 9/11 commission report refutes virtually every point in the film.
[Insert pithy quote here]
L. Ron Hubbard was a genius at writing, Mission Earth was by far the best Science Fiction series I've ever read, right next to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams.
The movie "Battlefield Earth" was a disgrace to his work, and whoever thought of that idea should be punished.
Nothing like taking characters that we cared about in Aliens and flushing them down the toilet without any thought or creativity whatsoever beyond "well, let's just kill them off in the first 3 minutes so they don't interfere with our script idea".
Newt was killed off because they didnt want the 'issue' of introducing another actress in place of the origional girl, who had literally grown up since Aliens. Hicks was killed off because Michael Biehn didnt want to sign onto the film. Remember, the film was not a book adaption. All in all, i dont actually rate Alien3 that low.
I have. But where was the rest of the world? Hollywood even changes history to make a film.
Let me see if I got this straight. Some slashdotters don't read the article. Others don't read the story that links to the article. You didn't even read the headline?
Ask Slashdot: What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen?
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
It's never too late to stop a movie in production (or post-production) before it's released. There are complete (down to the copyright and union seal in the credits), distribution-ready films that have never been released, even direct to video. I'm sure the are better examples, but I know that before Blade broke the jinx, Marvel produced an embarrassing string of superhero movies that were so bad that some of them are known today only through bootlegs. (The Fantastic Four film is legendary in its baditude.) Knockaround Guys probably would have sat on a shelf forever, except that Vin Diesel became a "star" with Fast & Furious and XXX after it was made, suddenly giving it some box-office potential. And TV networks are notorious for cancelling new series that may already have several months' episodes in the can, and never airing them (instead broadcasting more advertiser-friendly fare).

Without a doubt, the worst movie that I have ever seen was Biker Boyz. The plot made no sense and seemed to have no continuity. Not to mention, the race at the end where Larry Fishburne and the other guy drag race on a dirt road. You've got to be an idiot to drag race a bike on a dirt road!
So, uh, yeah. Biker Boyz. (Although, I do have to admit that it was better the second time around while completely loaded up on Jack Daniels and watching it with several similarly drunk friends.)
If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will.
I've watched every movie done on MST3K, and they all bow down in terror to Orgy of the Dead.
Dune. 1980? w/ Lyle Mclaughlin
every line is whispered...
Wing Commander. actually any movie with Freddie Prinz Jr. is crap.
Bourne Supremacy. the constantly jiggling camera makes me want to steal this movie, steady all the images and resell it to make a mint, as the rest was good, but hell you couldn't "SEE" anything. Directors like this should be shot on sight.
Matrix Revolutions. Its like, the studsio heads said, yeah drop all this good braintease stuff, and just make friends at the end, even if it destroys all the continuity. Flying robots were too stupid to float solar panels above the clouds!
They Live, We Sleep
5 Words:
"Nick Fury: Agent of Shield."
A complete travesty....what a waste.
Sig currently under construction. Mind the gap....
Battlefield Earth.
I've already said more that I can stomach about this topic.
Write out the letters with your tongue (Obviously you need to put your tongue somewhere useful first!)... it's a fairly well known technique. Basically used to stop repetitive movements which don't work that well. So now you all know. :)
People that believe in their opinions don't post AC.
This was so bad that it was funny. The flying saucers, the cemetary. Didn't Bela Lugosi die during filming, and they replaced him with a guy who used a cape to hide his face? The cheap sets and even cheaper special effects. It's so bad that it's funny. Horrible story line. Bad acting.
-- No sig for you!
Killdozer is based on a classic Theodore Sturgeon short story from the 40s, which King might well have read (Sturgeon is apparently one of his literary influences).
Mulholland Drive is very good, it just doesn't have a linear narrative and it doesn't lead the viewer by the hand. It's a straight thriller once you've reconstructed the storyline, but a large proportion of the fun is to find out all the clues the filmmaker has given to the audience to be able to do that job. It's like an oldfashion puzzle.
Note that I don't claim to understand everything about that film but I have an interpretation. There is a great article on Salon about that film.
To me, the wrost movie I ever seen is Signs. I think it is one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. If Mel Gibson didn't play a a role in it, I would never choose to watch. And the truth is that my first impression is right: this movie sucks.
