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..."
Gigli.

Please cease and desist with your criticism of Battlefield Earth. This movie, based on a book by L. Ron Hubbard, is a masterpiece AND a true story. It also stars one of the two best actors of all time John Travolta. (The other actor is Tom Cruise.)
Thank you,

Have we finally come to the point where we must Ask Slashdot to Ask Yahoo?
Have a look at the IMDB bottom 100 and search for "police".
I'm sorry, but M Night Shyamalan's movies are full of just absurd plot holes. You mean to tell me that you've got a race of creatures that are capable of traveling through space, but they can't figure out how to break through a door? That those same aliens apparently lack any sort of telescopic device that would show them the Earth being covered in water ? How the hell do you miss that ? That a life form that reacts violently with water is cabale of surviving in an oxygen based atmosphere that is heavily saturated with water vapor? That when faced with an army of invading aliens, you would choose to lock yourself in your basement rather than heading towards a military base?
Even if you just look at the movie for its message, it's still retarded. You're supposed to come out of that thing thinking like 'oh there was someone looking out for them all along' - of course there was someone looking out for them -it's a movie! It wasn't 'god' that killed Gibson's wife and then set all that stuff up so that the aliens would die - it was M. Night Shyamalan, who wrote the script for the film. Of course it all worked out just right. Gah!My blog
Batman & Robin has to be the absolute worst movie ever. Sure there are similarly campy, idiotic movies out there, but the amount of money wasted in making this horrible movie makes it a bigger insult.
Tim Burton's Batman movies were cool. Joel Schumacher just totally ruined the franchise. When I saw Batman whip out his "Bat Credit Card" in the middle of some crazy rave party with dancing gorillas, that was the moment when it was clear that Batman had clearly jumped the shark.

Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity is the worst movie ever.
It has all the plot and character development of pornography plus all the sex and nudity of the 700 Club.

But...it is an awful lot of fun to use the lines in everyday conversations. For example: yesterday, someone came up to me and asked if I could tell them how to retrieve a file from backups.
My reply: "A man animal learning how to retreive a file from backups?!? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" And then I swished around my dreadlocks, put my six-fingered hands on my hips, stood proudly in my three-foot stilts^Walien boots, threw my head back and laughed some more.
Hours of entertainment, I tells ya...
Carousel is a lie!
I think the line "I think he's going to pork her dad!" made the whole movie worth it :)
Here we see the importance of punctuation. The actual line was "I think he's going to pork her, dad!". By leaving out the comma, you're giving the wrong impression to people who haven't seen the movie.
Why mod anyone down in a topic about asking what you think is the worst movie you've ever seen? So, if someone said Star Wars Episode 2 would you mod them down as a troll too? Because I'll say that.. Attack of the Clones sucked donkey balls. George Lucas should be ashamed of himself. Man, that's why I like Fark better.. no idiotic moderation system. If you post something bad enough then it just gets deleted, but here the moderators will basically delete your posts (mod them below 1) because they don't agree with your opinion. That's pretty fucked up.
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.

Life is like a sewer; what you get out of it depends on what you put into it...
Because Shrek is generally accepted as a funny, quality movie packed into a tight 90 minute package. If you don't like the movie, it's a matter of poor taste, not poor production.
That's not the point though. This particular post is asking for people's opinions, and poor taste or not, his opinion is just as valid as yours is. You can't ask for somebody's opinion and then mod them down for giving it simply because you don't agree with it.
If you didn't like the movie, fine. All I can say is that it cast a spell over me (and my wife). Somehow the movie felt like watching a dream. I don't know exactly why that was, but it totally sucked me in. Since I can't explain it I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, but it's an experience I'm very glad I was open to and had the chance to experience.
I guess you can label me a moron, or a art-house junkie. If we met and had a chat I doubt you'd continue to label me as such. But I just liked the way it made me feel.
Oh, I had been married for many years when I saw it. And several people I know who did like it were older, or were experienced in traditional long-term relationships. I sometimes wonder if it just plays better to people who are older? There are certainly exceptions to that, but it seems to be correlated.
Hopefully it's crime wasn't being aimed at an older crowd. There's nothing wrong with that, as there isn't anything wrong with the normal set of films that play only to the young.
Anyways, just some non-flame thoughts from someone who feels almost the exact opposite way about the film as you.
Cheers.
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...
The only explanation I could come up with for Signs was that the aliens were not invading. They were actually just dropping off their retarded. Once you realize the aliens are mentally handicapped it all makes sense.

Never had a girlfriend, have you?
Verhoeven read the book, and noticed that the book was, at least at one level, militaristic (and arguably fascist) propaganda of the kind that convinced Germans to come invade his ancestral homeland in 1940. So, he decided to make a movie that was a pisstake on Nazi propaganda and pro-war propaganda more generally. And he did that very well, and quite subtly in parts. Watch Triumph of the Will and then watch Starship Troopers again. Or, if you're American, cast your mind back to the bullshit ra-ra media coverage you got before the Iraq invasion and then watch Starship Troopers again.
