Granted, I was drinking when I was watching it last night, but I can say that I liked it more than I liked TOTAL RECALL, or WING COMMANDER.
Worst movie of the year? Hardly.
Give me this flick over the steaming pile of donkey dung that is RUNAWAY BRIDE any day.
:: sigh ::
I have some special memories about Battlefield Earth. So much so that I will probably go out and buy a copy of the crappiest movie on the face of the earth just to remember them by. 
C’mon, Euty. Worse than JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO? Worse than JANUARY MAN? Worse than THE PUPPETMASTERS? Worse than MARS ATTACKS? Worse than the Brando ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU?
I think not.
Mars Attacks was a GREAT movie!
<triple-take> Say what?
Howyadoin,
I’m with you, kd99… Mars Attacks was hysterical!
Dungeons & Dragons, on the other hand, may have been the worst movie ever.
Battlefield Earth was frightening in that it was intended to be a commercial venture and indoctrination tool for those Sceinologits bastards (mispelling intentional, if anyone has a Carnivore-type rig running, they’re my prime suspects)
I was happy beyond belief when the sucker cratered.

P.S. Check out this for an idea of what I’m talking about
Well I have to admit that it was certainly better then Wing Commander. I didn’t pay to watch it on Showtime but I still wanted my money back. BF Earth is at least fun to watch because of how stupid the story is and how lame the acting is. I’d rather get my teeth drilled sans pain killer then watch Wing Commander.

well i haven’t seen it, nor most of the others mentioned above, but, it’s hard for me to imagine things much worse than the island of dr. moreau. that one is just horrid! as much as i dislike scientology-related anything and as silly as battlefield earth looked in commercials, i think i might just rather watch that over dr. moreau. (and that’s just as scary a thought really)
I think the scene with the doctor playing a piano duet with his midget assistant (playing a miniature piano on top of the full-size one) was just about worth the admission price in itself. And I wouldn’t have enjoyed Austin Powers II nearly as much as I did if I hadn’t seen Moreau (which it lampooned savagely).
I also resent the notion that Mars Attacks was anyting less than one of the Great Movies of our Times. I would be happy to debate this with all who disagree if somebody is kind enough to start a thread on the subject.
Them’s fightin words, sonny-boy.
I like Joe Vs. The Volcano.
It was supposed to be stupid, and it was.
had a good message too! What would you do before you die and why aren’t you doing it?
