David Lynch's Dune (half the audience got up and left midway-through...on OPENING night)

David Cronenberg's Existenz (where I got up and left midway-through, complained and got my money back).

Commies, you'll be pleased to hear that Armageddon was just added to the Criterion Collection's otherwise sterling catalog. Christ knows who got tanked and passed out at the tiller that day.

These will probably draw fire, but Bubba-Hotep was massively overrated. All Lynch after Blue Velvet sucked. Oh, yeah, the new Star Wars movies.

A sort of independent movie called "Envy", about a girl who wishes to become a boy.... it was cheap, and awful.

Event Horizon - one of the worst movies ever made.

Armageddon - already been said... but, such a great cast... and look what they did with it.

Oh, and Neverending Story 2... I remember the first one being ok, and the second one being like some kind of horrible parody...

Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (http://imdb.com/title/tt0185183/)
I got my hands on it knowing full well it is a steaming pile of shit. I made up my mind that I was going to watch it straight through no matter how much it makes my brain hurt.

I just couldn't myself to. I couldn't laugh, I couldn't cry, the absolute suckage of that movie causes a void inside you that can only be filled by deleting the files/burning the disc/tape.

Some of the acting wasn't bad... the special effects weren't terrible... but it feel down on two things I dislike in 'horror' movies... the necessity to ALWAYS fall back on either 'loud-noise-and-sudden-flash' or 'un-necessary-gore'.

That's why I will always prefer a 'horror' movie like "Blair Witch" or "The Others".

"Buckets of Blood" was pretty bad. It's a really old horror movie. It would've been tolerable, in a so-bad-it's-funny kind of way, if it weren't for the incredibly annoying jazz score (that is, if you could call it a "score", more like "syncopated noise").

I will say, the first time I watched Mulholland Drive... it wasn't so much a matter of Who Did It... as "huh? What did they DO?"

I immediately watched it twice more (which, to me, tells me it was a good movie)... before I could get 'a handle' on it.

Ginger Snaps, Van Helsing, Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid, and also the Digimon Movie, the spy kids movies, but the WORST MOVIE EVER was some pseudo-independent film which used most of its budget on a Lamborghini that one of the characters drives.

It was called "Severed" and it sucked. The special effects were terrible; this murderer jumps onto a metal rooftop and you can hear this horrible grinding noise as the building shakes at its foundations. Obviously fake, and what's more, these two dumb cops didn't hear the racket right behind them. Also, you could see the machete the murder was using bend and spring back whenever it hit anything. Obviously plastic. But the worst thing about the movie was a chase scene where a man pulls out a pistol and attaches a silencer, and then when he fires it there's a huge kickback and a shot gun sound effect. Then the man who is on the receiving end of this "shotgun in a sidearm's body" just slumps over. No blood or anything.

The only pleasure of this movie was how easy it was to make fun of it.

its hard to argue with that one.... I have tried on several occasions to watch it on cable... and I can't force myself to watch more than a few minutes..

although "Surf Nazis must Die" is right up there for wretched excuse of a movie. And I LIKE B movies... they are usually fun.

there are so many bad movies... I mercifully tend to forget about them after seeing a good one though... and make a point to avoid them for ever after.

I read the book in one sitting.

Plan 9 no longer counts as a bad movie. Anything that's so terrible as to be entertaining is good again. So all Ed Wood, Robot Monster, Attack of the Killer Shrews, and pretty much anything that became MST3K bait can't be called horrible any more.

My god where do I start? "And yes I've had to sit through all of these, a friend loves to purposely rent movies that are bashed by critics and let me tell you...those ciritics are right quite often!"

1. Gigli (Dialogue inteded to sound witty, came off sounding forced and stupid)
2. From Justin to Kelly (Do I need to give a reason>)
3. The Lemon Sisters (Tried to be quirky and heartwarming, came off ridiculous)
4. MAhogany (Oh my god PLEASE somebody stop letting singers act)
5. Vally of the Dolls (in the "So bad it's funny" catagory)
6. Basic Instinct (Good when I first saw it, held up about as well as mayonnaise at room temp.)
7. Showgirls (Oh God make it stop)
8. Burnt Offerings (Karen Black was scarier than any haunted house)
9. Swept Away (Has the honor of being the ONLY movie my friend actually could not finish watching...kudos to MAdonna)
10. Glitter (See Number 5)
11. It's alive (Sorry maam, your baby is alive, and a monster)
12. Who's that Girl (Madonna again, somebody get her a hobby)
13. Bodies Rest and Motion (Boring sensless Dialogue by the "hip" stars of the time, extra points if you can keep from laughing at the serious parts.
14. Reform School Girls (The Plasmatics Wendy O Williams wears nothing but a leather G-String in the mobie the entire time...The G-string does the best acting of the entire cast)
15. Moonlight and Valentino (Gwenyth Paltrow giving us an early warning of just how talented she REALLY is)

Ugh, I could go on, but I think I have to go throw up now.

Sorry to disagree with Poland but Plan 9 from outher space is the worst movie ever made. It's a classic in the style "here's what not to do". All of the parts that make a movie (sound, script, actors) were bad in plan 9.

Other bad movies I saw:
attack of the Killer Tomato
Blood and Donuts
Lepprechaun 4: In Space (yes a b-movie but not even remotely funny as most b-movies are)

I though sky captain was ok for what it was doing, and especially liked the visuals but ya not great. But hey, to each his own, eh?

Its just that too me his movies are the definition of formulaic and obvious grabs for blockbuster cash grabbing, cause he knows the general populous likes explosions, guns, and over the top "extreme" characters. I really do think he's done more harm that good as far as the industry is concerned.

Such a shame, because the Daredevil in the comic books was actually cool...
In a world that contains the last two Captain America movies, the first attempt at a Punisher movie with Dolph Lungren, Masters of the Universe, a version of The Fantastic Four by Roger Corman that was sooo bad it was never released, and some that I may have scared over for my own protection-Daredevil, while not great, can't even get in the running for worst comic book movie ever made.

My scar tissue lies over the films:
Showgirls-naked women don't make it better. That says something.
Dark City-When I like an asethetic and still find the movie a chore....
Magnolia-This is why you finish film school, to learn that you don't have to use everything.........ugh......some restraint please....
Many of the movies that came out during the 5 years I was a projectionist, but I'm not going to submit myself to that horrifying flashback.....
Blue Car--most of you probably haven't heard of this movie not because you aren't 'arty' enough, but because it was such crap that if it did come through your art theater it probably stayed for like a day. It's a shining example of why you don't see something just because it's independent. (Really? That adolescent girl finds herself through experimentation and poetry? And her male role models fall short? Really? Haven't seen that a million times. Half of that in film school....ugh...)

I just watched the trailor for it today. Looked interesting and sounds promising but ya I'll grant there is the chance it could fail miserably. I like the idea though, being as the book is inherantly quite dark, being as all the kids die except Charlie and he's operating a factory full of pygmy slaves.

I agree that the worst movies are the ones that try so hard to be commercial sucesses, the worst I've seen recently were Alexander, Troy and King Arther.

These were especially bad for me because they distorted history and classic mythology making the movies LESS interesting and all just stupid and corny for the sake of the buck.

Wow you're about the inverse of me I liked a lot of those: Fight Club, Gattica, Contact, Natural Born Killers. 2001: A space Odyessey, I think is one of the better industry redefining movies out there. I have no idea how you could feel it was worse than the spoof of it, which was truely terrible. I am a fan of Kubrick. I rank the last 3 as examples of great movie making done right also. I thought the Hulk was better than it was made out to be but ya it started to get pretty rediculous eventually.

I would assume jdging by your tastes you'd hate movies like Adaptation, Donnie Darko, amongst others.

Woody Allen can make good movies, so long as he stays behind the camera. That shtick wore out before the end of Annie Hall. Bullets Over Broadway was fine though. Stone has also been trading on reputation more than talent lately. Scarface was a great script, what was the name of that movie, "Talk Radio"? That was good too. But Natural Born Killers, Any Given Sunday, and Alexander? Triple-decker doodoo sandwich.

I will say, the first time I watched Mulholland Drive... it wasn't so much a matter of Who Did It... as "huh? What did they DO?"

I immediately watched it twice more (which, to me, tells me it was a good movie)... before I could get 'a handle' on it.

I think you get out of David Lynch, what you put in... :)
I'm always the guy who has to explain "hard" movies to everyone I go with.
David Lynch is easy, and entertaining. Now Donnie Darko was hard, but they cheated. You couldn't get the whole meaning unless you visited their website (before the DVD extras).

Worst movies of all time (these are the movies bad movies are judged on):

1) Trapper - A movie based on the life of a guy that traps things. The most interesting part of this movie was when the bear went into his cabin while he was out in the woods trapping things (the bear left before he came back).

2) The Ballad of Cable Hoag - About a guy named Cable Hoag that gets suckered into buying a piece of land in the desert. He walks to said land. He finds a spring in that land, and becomes rich.

No matter how horrid the movies you have ever seen are, these are worse. You watch these movies purely to see if they get any better, yet they don't.

Did you live in the 80s? This was made-for-HBO fare!
It has one of the best fight scenes of the pre-Chan/pre-Gladiator era!

Besides... it's a CARPENTER film. It's SUPPOSED to be cheesy! I'm still trying to figure out how he didn't get Kurt Russell into it... :D

I just watched the trailor for it today. Looked interesting and sounds promising but ya I'll grant there is the chance it could fail miserably. I like the idea though, being as the book is inherantly quite dark, being as all the kids die except Charlie and he's operating a factory full of pygmy slaves.

AWESOME i'm not the only one who thinks that that movie/book is incredibly creepy! i used to like the book in elementary school, cuz it was like...candy factory, funny stuff, jokes, etc. then later, especially after i saw the movie and it reminded me of it, i realized...it's frikkin weird. Especially like...the girl and her family who go down the incinerator tube after the squirrel (even if it wasn't one of the days that the oompa-loompas didn't burn stuff.) So, due to all this various madness:

Bad Movies:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
The Matrix Reloaded (never even saw revolutions, DON'T WANT TO EITHER)
Snow Dogs
so many...

I am a major fan of the Star Wars original trilogy. So my bad movie is:

Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

Star Wars went from wookiees and space battles, to Jar Jar Binks and fancy Go-Cart races. I was not impressed. Episode II was a step in the right direction, and I am eagerly waiting Ep. III. Good luck George.

1) The Scarlet Letter

I keep trying to read through the books for where Hawthorne wrote about the Indian Attack.

2) Street Fighter (live action)

This crapsterpiece was so indescribable I wouldn't be surprised if it contributed to Raul Julia's untimely demise. Not even the late great Julia could salvage this disaster.

3) Mortal Kombat: Annihiliation

The first film was passable and could have been awesome if it took itself seriously. This? Oh Jesus Christ, they kept chopping down characters left and right for no real good reason- some of them without even a screen appearance- and when cast members change, you know there's something wrong.

4) Gothika

I call this one Crappika. This one I was dragged into watching so I at least didn't kick myself in the nards this time.

5) Team America: World Police

I watched this expecting the No Sides Are Sacred All Bets Are Off comedy that had defined Stone and Parker. What I got instead was a propaganda film that sucked Bush's cock like you wouldn't believe. Most if not all of the "jokes" were racial stereotypes or aimed at the left. I couldn't see so much as a slap on the wrist directed at the right.
