I have so many it is scary, but to name a few not yet mentioned:
APE
Mighty Gorga
Zombie Lake
Hell Squad
Starcrash
Doomsday Machine
I find all of these to be awful movies, however they are very entertaining and I can watch them repeatedly. I cannot say this about a lot of the mainstream stuff Hollywood spits out.
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever - This one was pretty bad. It’s the worst movie I’ve seen in years.
Surprises/spoilers aside, Dark City is still egregiously bad, pretentious, self-important and remarkably dull.
i have to say:
Dude, where’s my care? - Although I find it quite watchable, it was a baaaaad movie, the whole picking up the bottle top with your toe scene was embarrassing, it was like everything I dislike about Kenan and Kel episodes mixed up together.
For those who dont know, they are carrying a huuuuge bag of garbage from the aftermath of a house party and spot a bottle cap on the carpet on the way out, one of them takes his sock off and picks it up with his toes and then celebrates that he got it leading to being unsteady with the bag, popping it on an ornament and sprayin what apears to be chocolate sauce all round the room through the hole.
Another, is a film called Love Sucks, all I remember is it has Jennifer Love Hewitt in it and i rented it, i took it back soon after. It was immensely boring.
there are ohers but i don’t remember them.
Peace out

sorry was supposed to be ‘car’ in that first sentence…
don’t worry, it fits!
Well, there is a worse movie out there, and it probably hasn’t been mentioned because I was the only idiot to rent it. It was a straight-to-video piece of crap called,** “Sasquatch”**, starring Lance Henrickson.
The acting was terrible (Lance slept-walked through this one), the directing was even worse, and the dialogue was atrocious. Plus, the movie had no point to it at all. The only reason I watched it was because I was going to write a screenplay about Bigfoot, and I didn’t want to take any ideas from any of the Bigfoot movies that had already been made. Needless to say, I had no concern about using anything from this.
It’s easy to pick on B movies, old and new, so I will refrain and instead only list major-release, big-budget movies with name actors.
McHales Navy with Bruce Campbell and Tom Arnold.
Mixed Nuts with Steve Martin.
Hear No Evil with DB Sweeny.
The Truth About Charlie with Mark Wahlberg.
Troll 2
Well, nobody has mentioned these yet. Fearless Frank, starring Jon Voigt. This is in that so-bad-it’s-kinda-funny category along with C.H.U.D.. A female character named Plethora!
Mr. Holland’s Opus. Dire. Missed all possible marks by a very wide margin, band scenes completely witless. Two examples: He’s on his first day conducting a high school band. He pulls out a piece of music for them to play, to see how well they do. It’s Beethoven’s 5th symphony. Sure, that happened. Forget the scale in concert C, which would have told Mr. Holland (the dweeb!) that the band in question couldn’t even handle a scale in concert C, let alone a symphony!. Second example: He helps a hopelessly incompetent (but cute!) redheaded girl, who’s been playing clarinet for 3 years without notable progress, turn into Mr. Acker Bilt in one session using (I guess) “the think method” popularized by Prof. Harold Hill in The Music Man. I could go on but it’s not worth it. Just hopeless. It should be on Imdb’s top 100 worst list and it may be. For implausibility, bad acting, strained plotline, and overextended time span.
It seems we have some kind of paradox here… how can you love Tarantino movies and hate Pulp Fiction at the same time? Isn’t that incoherent? It’s like saying: “I love George Lucas films but I hate Star Wars IV: A New Hope”!
I think these guys who mention films like “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”, “The Phantom Menace”… well, they do this with a special feeling of attacking “the worst of the best”. Even with mediocre movies like “Can’t Stop the Music” or “Strip Tease”, there is some level of quality that meet the filmmaking minimum standards.
There are thousands of bad movies, the reason because they are bad movies is linked to the reason they are unknown. You can watch many B-movies every night in cable channels…
Btw, “Plan 9 From Outer Space” was so bad and dumb, that now it’s a cult classic, fact that reduce its rating as a “bad movie”. In other words… it’s so bad that it’s very good. I prefer to watch “Plan 9” instead of, “The English Patient”. In terms of fun, of course.
Cyborg The only reason that this thread is still going is because some lucky people have never seen this crap-fest. Watch it and you can be safe - you’ll never see a worse movie - ** EVER**
Not every surprise, but definitely most of them. I loved it despite the exposition but agree that the film would be vastly improved without it.
It’s still wonderful, though. I love the sets, the mood, the nightmarish quality of it. Brilliant.
Starry Night. A truly horrible movie where a sweet, naive, innocent Vincent Van Gogh is resurrected in Los Angeles. So astonishingly bad that there’s a survivor’s group with a chapter in your home town.
the Steve Martin remake of Bilko . i hated the original, and i hate this even more. what the hell were they thinking.
also, anything sandra bullock did after speed. worst actress ever.
‘im kooky’ and thoroughly unattracive to boot
To be fair to the originator of this thread, the OP makes it clear that he is asking for our “least favorite movies” and not really the “all time worst movie” mentioned in the title.
Having said that, I really do have to mention Highlander II
. Not just because it was a crappy movie in and of itself, with bad acting, bad effects, and a nonsensical plot, but because it aggressively spent the entire time undoing every single thing that made the original movie good.
Honorable mention has to go to a made for TV movie I saw last year called Disappearance, starring Susan Dey and Harry Hamlin. Basically, a family gets stuck in an old ghost town and all sort of weird things happen to them. Throughout the film, various theories are offered by people who live in a nearby town as to why these things happen: aliens, mutants, supernatural forces, etc. At the end:
The family is finally able to leave the creepy town, but on the highway they are attacked by some unseen force and their car is flipped over. The next morning, they are back in the town, acting like they’ve lived there all their lives.
And what is the real reason behind everything? Who knows – they don’t bother to explain it! Talk about wasting two hours of my life!!!

Do a search on “Santa Sangre” and Hamlet. At least the guy knows what he thinks.
Thank you, Keith Berry. A comically bad movie is FUN. A movie that is just dull and stupid is PAINFUL. In the interest of naming the latter, I’d nominate The Lonely Lady, which also stars Pia Zadora in fact, she gets raped with a garden hose by Ray Liotta. Talk about execrable. There’s a Japanese Star Wars ripoff called Message from Space that’s mighty awful - it can be entertaining at points, like when the seeds from space turn out to be glowing walnuts, and when people exit their space ships and just float around with no suits, but mostly it just sucks.
My list could go on and on…
The English patient…borefest! I know alot of people would disagree on this one.
Kangaroo Jack…enough said.
Hearts in Atlantic…I loved the book, the movie was crappy!
The Fast and The Furious…ok, the cars were cool, but the movie sucked big time. And who told Paul Walker he could act?
The Truth About Charlie…Thandie Newton’s BIG career mistake.
Planet of the Apes…Another Mark Wahlberg disaster, Charlton Heston must be rolling in his grave.
Titanic…I watched it once and I’ll NEVER watch it again. But I gotta admit, the cinematography was beautiful…that’s it.
