Worst movie of all time?

Dimesa

My vote is for Battlefield Earth.

There are contenders like Gigli and Glitter. Very few movies are terrible across the board though, I mean without even a cult following, but still I think too many to make a poll. In your opinion though, which movie is the champion (of crap)?

edit: by "movie", I mean those released nationally (or even globally) by commercial distributors. What you'd go see at the local cinema at some point, not student films or any other broad concept of "movie".

These threads always illustrate people's ridiculous threshold's for 'worst movie ever.' We're already off to a bad start. Battlefield Earth? I can think of three movies off the top of my head that would have you begging me to put on Battlefield Earth and even then we haven't begun to scrape low enough in the barrel to start even saying "some of the worst."

If Battlefield Earth is the worst movie you've seen then you've had a spectacular run. Good job. (and I am in no way 'defending' Battlefield Earth)

And this doesn't even touch the number of student screenings I've had to sit through. And then you have to look the filmmaker in the face and try and find something nice to say because you need that yutz to light your next project.

Well let's be more specific. It was implied to mean commercial movies from established studios. Basically, anything that gets released in your local movie theaters. Something some kid filmed on his cell phone to upload it to youtube would not apply. With that said, I can't think of any movie worse than Battlefield Earth. In my judgment I take into consideration abstract things like the hype that surrounded it or expectation.

If I hadn't even gotten to student screenings, then we certainly haven't even flown close enough to YouTube territory to recognize it.

I was in fact talking about commercial releases. I stand by what I said.

And if you went into Battlefield Earth with any kind of expectation the fault lies on you. An perhaps whatever nutcase you were listening to.

Well it's subjective anyways, same thing as deciding on the "best".

Worst movie of all time is pretty hard to define though. Hollywood is very good at churning out shitty films.

The best/worst thing is not a scientific consensus, it's just for fun. You gotta admit that some movies touch a nerve with many people, at least at the time. I do remember Battlefield Earth and how bad it was and I'll try to explain my reasoning. It was like a corny stupid thing that wasted a ton of money and was put out there prominently for everyone to see. Then to top it off, it was not even good material for spoofs. Just a bad memory of lame.

This was before I ever heard of Uwe Boll, I don't know if he made movies back then, and I don't care. At least this guy tends to stay in relative obscurity, mostly straight to DVD.

All right, whats the most recent film you saw that made your stomach churn?

The last one I saw in theaters, and I'm still pressed to figure out why I went to a theater to see it in the first place or what I was expecting, that flustered me was Dragon Wars. Not only did the movie re-explain its premise five times in the first fifteen minutes (I started to count) it actually had a flashback in a flashback in a flashback in a flashback. And how do you have a movie based on Korean legends (made up or not) and directed by a Korean and still not have even a Korean supporting lead? At the end of the movie a 14 year old kid in the back stood up, threw is popcorn and yelled, "That sucked balls!" If a movie that's supposed to be about dragons fighting can't even captivate a fourteen year old, something is wrong. Perhaps the only kernel of possible interesting left on this plate of failure was the notion of self sacrifice, that the 'hero' is essentially swimming upstream and his noblest of efforts are actually drawing out the inevitable at best or making things worse was left to wither so that if you had any awareness of story you simply sat through the movie knowing it would happen and wondering why the character's don't or if you have none you'll feel that extra bit of jipped after not having your warring dragons delivered. Even as a Sci Fi Channel "Original" it would have fared only slightly higher than Mansquito, and even Mansquito might be better because at least it has a fun name to say. And this isn't 'not appreciating it for what it is,' I went there to see dragons. At war. If your story is going to suck at least have the decency to speed through it and get to the fighting. I couldn't tell you the plot to more than a handful of Godzilla movies but I can tell you how awesome the battles were. To paraphrase Tuco, if all you have is a fight, fight, don't bury crappy exposition in a swirling vortex of flashbacks...

And that's still not the worst movie ever or whatever nonsense. That's just the most recent ticket of regret and shame.

Bad movies are often awesome in their badness. The really bad ones are the ones that fail to deliver on any level, yet people feel obliged to take seriously.

Why pick on Mammoth? I mean, fair enough, it's a pretty awful film, but it's no worse than most other straight-to-TV movies that pop up constantly now that we all have a bajillion channels to choose from. I'm also unconvinced that it's an "unintentional" parody. Several parts of it seemed to me to have been written specifically to ensure that nobody took it seriously (the reanimated hand scene, for example).

As someone else commented, it's a bit too subjective to come up with a consensus, but I cannot accept that Mammoth should be considered to be the worst film of all time. Not in an industry that can spend more than $230m and come up with Waterworld. :tongue:

Off the top of my head, the more recent ones are Passion of the Christ, King Kong (the new one), and Twilight all were walk out of the theater bad, but I stayed anyhow because I'm a fucking masochist apparently. I know there are more, but I've obviously forgotten them for a reason.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Totally agreed on that. Some of my friends kept being crazy about how good that was, and eventually persuaded me to watch it about a month ago.

It made no sense whatsoever, the songs weren't any good, the plot was so dumb I actually burst out laughing several times (not when the film was trying to be funny), and, to be quite honest, the whole thing was more than a little creepy. DO NOT WANT!

A dishonourable mention for The Perfect Storm too

I saw Top Gun again the other night. Not the worst film ever but it's one of my favourite terrible successful movies. It's particularly notable for its complete lack of subtext.

Tom Cruise is a pilot who doesn't play by the rules. Called Maverick.

I would rather sit through a 24 hour marathon of all your suggested films to avoid one screening (or would be my second actually) of this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090068/).

Heck, as much as I hated "They Live (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/)" it still had some redemption with some pretty funny one liners. but this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090068/)? was just plain crap. The studio should've paid me to think about watching it. this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090068/) is sooo bad, I would prefer a 24 hour marathon of the Star Wars Holiday Special (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0193524/)

there are very very very very little good things in that movie(some of the deaths were sort of interesting but after awhile it was like just kill the main characters already) and its never explains why the plants(which is a stupid stupid premise) decided to kill us now instead of say when we first landed in North America or what not.

its not even a very good apocalyptic movie because only northeasterns and french die both very annoying groups :p

A real man is one who is comfortable with watching a romantic comedy while having a dinner date with himself. SO :p


This statement contradict itself.

I will also add to this list any comedy not written by Jews.

You can tell because theyre usually the not funny ones.

The Village...and damn near anything done by M. Night. Shyamalan...Why would I want to sit through 2 hours of movie just to find out the whole thing was pointless...

I would also like to nominate horror films that base their entire plot around gore, like Saw. You can have a scary movie with out having to gore it all the way up. Even a little gore is okay. But so much is just a turn off, as far as films are concerned.

I find the Saw movies entertaining enough.

I'm 26 and have only recently seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Its terribly trashy, and I laughed my ass off. So, of course I liked it... Yeah you could guess.

As for worst movie- Repo: A Genetic Opera. I didn't even bother to watch it.

Scratch that how about Newsies as the worst.

Amadeus. One cannot take a terrible film, then use the music that (arguably) the greatest composer in the world wrote for a score, then say the film is magnificent.

Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace.

I say this film because of how long Lucas had to germinate the idea, the story, and everything else, and what did we get? The Force is an infection, a kid hitting on a teenager, ridiculous voice-acting stereotypes, a completely silly double-bladed light saber (leading to the culmination of silly in the daftly-named General Grievous wielding FOUR of the damn things), a kid with a mama's boy complex leading to Darth Vader, and Jar-Jar-fucking Binks.

I didn't see a problem with that. It was basically a staff, and the lightsaber battle on Naboo is generally considered to be one of the best in the series.

Are you sure you want to admit that you watch Romantic Movies while masturbating?

Have you ever seen a SAW film? the gore is one aspect of the SAW film. There is a plot in the SAW films people!

D.W. Griffith's The Birth of A Nation (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0004972/) (aka "The Clansman"). "Influential" or not, it is racist tripe.

Well...it does have a Klansman in it, so....you gotta figure yea, it would be a racist tripe...

Actually, I believe it explicitly glorifies the Klan. That's why its racist, not merely that it has a Klansman in it.

Besides, even if I did, it would be a lot better than masturbating while posting on NSG. Isn't that right, willy?

Yes, and the plot is terrible. I saw I, and III. I wanted to plunger out my brain through my ears after that third one.

Well what can I say, it's like a bath house here, with such beautiful and handsome people. Except for this one ugly Christian due, he goes by Zilam, have you....

Oh....

Well....at least you know....

I know the name of two good reconstruction doctors....

I personally thought III was the second best in the series, behind I.

It does. The Klan is seen as the heroes, while the abolitionists and the slaves are seen as the destructive force that almost tore apart the country.

The depiction of the jack booted "black rulers" in the South post-Civil War is especially "hilarious".

You saw every Saw?? I only saw Saw, I didn't see Saw 2 and after. (I just wanted to say that).
It was predictable after the 1st (I saw parts of the rest, if that makes sense).
