And the worst movie of all time is. . .

How could y’all leave out Star Trek V: The Final Frontier?!

Hey, I like that one!

The Virgin Suicides, anyone who claims to like this movie is probably lying to try to sound artsy. Not only does it send a moral message that was already obvious to the average Jr. High kid, it was boring as hell to boot.

In terms of a movie which millions of people seemed to think was good and is in the top ten all time box office takes, I’d say Independance Day. They’re all wrong. It wasn’t good. It sucked.

If you plug “zombie! vs. mardi gras” into google, you’ll see several reviews that call Zombie! vs. Mardi Gras “the worst film ever made”.

And yet people loved it at the New York Underground Film Festival a couple of years ago.

Toss up between The 13th Warrior and 13 Ghosts. Well, you know, besides the reigning king, Battlef… ugh.

They show movies in my dorm lounge every Saturday. Last night the theme was “What were they thinking?” On account of that, I have a new entry for worst big-budget film ever: Dungeons and Dragons. However, on watching it for the second time, I discovered that Wild Wild West isn’t really that bad. You just need to watch carefully to catch the subtle jokes.

A gamer’s review of Dungeons & Dragons: The Movie

A favorite line from this review:

“Marina and Jimmy Olson get in a big old argument that ends with them passionately kissing one another, with Jeremy Irons’ imp familiar watching them go at it. I guess this passes for a romantic subplot of sorts, albeit one with a voyeuristic imp in it.”

“Whipped” with Amanda Peet was puky.

In one horrendous year in the early eighties, I watched “Butterfly” (Pia Zadora) and "Author, Author! (Al Pacino).

I am stilled scarred by the experiences, so I’m thinking that it’s for life.

Ever see Mortal Thoughts?

Don’t.

But despite the pain of having to sit through it, the experience did yield a funny story.

I had taken my friend Boris from Russia to see it (this was in the early 90’s when it came out). We watched it, and I thought it was worthless. Boris wasn’t an easy person to read, so I asked him what he thought.

In his thick accent, he said, “Vell… Dis man fuck this woman. This woman fuck the man. Other woman kill this man… This not my problem.”

My vote is clearly for Ed Wood.

We watch a helluva lot of bad movies but that one is without question the worst one we have ever seen. When it was over, the look on Mr. Ruby’s face was priceless! :slight_smile:

Blasphemy!

It was the only decent thing Burton ever did.

Mars Attacks

Nuf said.

Top secret is way up there.

Dang, I loved “Top Secret”. And yeah, “Mars Attacks” wasn’t exactly Tim Burton’s finest hour, but there were a few jewel-like little bits of business in the general muck.

My vote, in the “unlimited budget with every known star and multiple directors” category would have to be “Casino Royale”. Even just thinking about it right now makes me shudder.

::shudder::

See?

Nobody’s going to mention “Manos: Hands of Fate”? Or was that redeemed following its popularization as a MST3K target?

That movie would have been quite good to watch if they had cut out all the scenes that did not include Halle Berry.

A piece of dreck called Space Mutiny, starring Reb Brown, with horrible costumes and a bunch of stock footage swiped directly from Battlestar Galactica. I had to shut it off after about 10 minutes. Unwatchable!
I couldn’t watch Cabin Boy either, or Judge Dredd. If only they’d been silly enough to be funny…
