A toss-up between “Bounce” and “Awake”. Two films my wife chose and she continues to apologize for choosing them to this very day.
I truly like the worst movie ever made, which is of course the Nick Cage remake of The Wicker Man. From the bear suit to Cage beating up little girls to magically appearing beehives, it’s hilariously funny almost all the way through.
No place for old men, all the caste was one cliche character after another. Terrible movie.
Land of the Lost movie.
I swear anything Will Ferrel touches should automatically go into the toilet. My favorite tv show as a kid turned into this piece of crap.
No Place for Old Men? Is that like a Daman Wayans spoof of No Country For Old Men?
I must have been half asleep, “No Country For Old Me” is my most disliked movie.
No Country For Old Me sounds like my daily life…
I heavily and thoroughly and quite negatively deconstructed Avatar and Children of Men in the (overall positive, especially the latter) threads that followed their releases and haven’t changed my position on either.
Avatar sucks but it’s surely not the worst movie ever.
Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS (1977)
If you’ve never heard of it, I strongly, strongly, very very strongly, suggest that you do not do irreparable damage to your eyes and to your mind and avert your eyes and avert your mind.
I’m confident I haven’t seen the worst movie ever (though I do have a DVD of Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS), I just described movies that I disliked and thought were hugely over-rated.
Are kid’s movies eligible? If so, I’d like to nominate one of the offerings my kids have discovered on Netflix in the past couple of years.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you… the Bratz Babyz series. And yes, that’s really the way they spell it. It is utter garbage, even by the (admittedly low) standards by which you would judge low-budget kid’s crap. The animation is laughably bad - well, not *laughably *bad because that would imply that it’s entertaining on some level, which it’s not. The dialogue is inane at best, and incomprehensible at worst. The voice actors all have ear-splitting unpleasant voices, with non-matching singing voices for the questionable musical numbers. The plot, well… good luck finding it.
It is such a miserable excuse for entertainment that I have actually spent time searching through Netflix’s settings to see if there’s a way to delete specific movies from the kid’s menu.
You have intrigued me enough that I must go find this on Netflix.
It shouldn’t be anything new. As a kid I used to eat dirt.
Liquid Sky is a gawdawful sf movie about the Eighties NYC punk club scene, about an alien vampire who kills people by drawing off their life essence when they have an orgasm… or some such nonsense. Urrrrrk. A ridiculous plot, terrible acting, awful music and ludicrous dialogue. I saw it once in college and remain deeply scarred to this day. I hate, hate, hate this movie - still my all-time most-loathed movie.
if you’re going for kid’s movies, I think **The Oogieloves Movie ** has Bratz beat hollow:

The one positive thing that came out of it was this wonderful review in the New York Times:
The film got a whopping 27% at Rotten Tomatoes
Worst ever ever? Nah, of course not. At the very least it was beautiful to look at. However, it might be the worst high budget blockbuster ever. Looking at the top 20 grossing films of all time (adjusted for inflation):
1 1977 Star Wars Ep. IV: A New Hope $1,362,751,062
2 1997 Titanic $1,139,182,838
3 1982 ET: The Extra-Terrestrial $1,124,651,941
4 2009 Avatar $826,198,130
5 1980 Star Wars Ep. V: The Empire Strikes Back $808,182,542
6 1983 Star Wars Ep. VI: Return of the Jedi $778,214,979
7 1994 The Lion King $756,219,975
8 1999 Star Wars Ep. I: The Phantom Menace $755,899,504
9 1993 Jurassic Park $755,387,687

11 1994 Forrest Gump $672,783,178
12 2012 The Avengers $655,383,136
13 2015 Jurassic World $651,710,075

17 2004 Shrek 2 $588,287,049
18 2002 Spider-Man $581,587,324
19 1996 Independence Day $579,696,466
20 1984 Ghostbusters $572,046,604
It’s that or The Phantom Menace.
From that list, Independence Day is the worst, if we pretend the 3 SW prequels never happened. 
Similarly: Big Jim McLain. John Wayne plays an investigator for the House Un-American Activities Committee, who goes around Hawaii defeating communism by punching it in the face. It is literally a movie about how the Bill of Rights is bullshit.
Actually, a worse movie than that would be The Conqueror, an historical epic in which John Wayne plays Genghis Khan. Not necessarily the worst movie over, but it is the worst piece of casting ever. John Wayne was a great actor, but not an actor with a lot of (or really any) range. Every line he says is hilarious. The dialogue is all flowery and affected, but Wayne delivers every line in the same “Well, pardner” drawl that he always uses. Really, click on the link.
Actually, although I agree that The Conqueror is terrible, and John Wayne horribly miscast, I have to object to people to whom the very idea of Wayne playing something other than his usual gruff cowboy is a mistake.
I only recently learned that he starred as Ole Olsen, a Swede, in The Long Voyage Home, a film directed by John Ford (who directed many westerns with Wayne). It’s based on a series of short plays by Eugene O’Neill, and was quite a departure for both Ford and Wayne, who had to speak with a Swedish accent. The film wasn’t a success, but it was nominated for multiple awards, including six Academy Awards (including Best Picture). It won the New York Film Critics Circle award for Best Director.
So, yeah, the Duke could act – he wasn’t always playing himself. And he could pull of an accent.
Isn’t that the movie that killed him, and most of the crew because it was filmed in a nuclear testing fallout zone? That’s gotta qualify for some sort of crazy other bad.
