What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen?

Posted by Cliff on from the trash-of-the-box-office dept.

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..."

  2. Almost any SNL movie by UnCivil+Liberty · · Score: 5, Informative

    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...

      Office Space started as a Mike Judge cartoon about Milton and his stapler on MTV's Liquid Television and had nothing at all to do with SNL.

  3. Arthur by cyberkahn · · Score: 3, Informative

    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.

    Badmovies.org has quite a good list. Of which 'elves' appears to be my favorite

  5. Re:'Event Horizon' by Gyorg_Lavode · · Score: 3, Informative

    Event Horizon was a wonderful scary movie. One of the scariest of recent times.

    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.

  7. It IS Manos by chrispl · · Score: 4, Informative

    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.

  8. Re:Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever... by tverbeek · · Score: 4, Informative
    All these movies beg the questions: At what point do they first realize it and say "It's too late to go back now?" Is it ever really too late?

    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).

  9. Orgy of the Dead by cowboy+junkie · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've watched every movie done on MST3K, and they all bow down in terror to Orgy of the Dead.
