In another thread they spoke about the top movie in the Box Office being rated the 24th worst of all time. I didn’t see it, it doesn’t appeal to me, but the thread made me curious about what other movies were in the list. Of the bottom 100, I have seen 2.

[List](http://imdb.com/chart/bottom)

[Santa Claus Conquers the Martians](http://imdb.com/title/tt0058548/)

and [Battlefield Earth](http://imdb.com/title/tt0185183/)

That I’m sure of, just one, [Manos: The Hands of Fate](http://imdb.com/title/tt0060666/), and that was the MST3K version.

(BTW, you might want to edit your title – IMDB, not SDMB! 🙂 )

If you watch MST3K you’ve probably seen a few of them.

Sometimes insomnia and cable TV make a really bad combination.

Our free-to-air telly stations put this kind of stuff on late during the January slow period just after all the Christmas craziness. If I’m up, I end up watching some bits of this kind of stuff. Battlefield Earth, though, I watched on rented video.

I checked the list twice, just to be sure. I haven’t seen any of them.

Not counting MST’d versions, I have seen:

Teen Wolf Too  
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians  
Police Academy: Mission to Moscow  
Rollerball

Rats, thought I would have seen more.

</div>

I’m a bit disappointed in myself. I’ve only seen one, **Santa Claus Conquers the Martians** , but that was actually in the initial theatrical release. I knew it sucked even when I was 6 years old. I think a lot of the movies on the list won’t stand the test of time, but SCCtM was made in 1964.

**Pia Zadora** made her debut in this movie. She was the first actress to win back to back Worst Actress Razzie Awards. Oddly enough, she also won best new star of the year at the Golden Globes.

I always considered myself a connoisseur of bad movies, but I don’t think I’ll go through the list for the sake of having done so. I would like to see **Manos: The Hands of Fate** , though.

Just one - **Rhinestone**.

</div>

_Lawnmower Man 2  
The NeverEnding Story III  
Teen Wolf Too  
Captain America_

only _Captain America_ was worse than _Envy_ wich scored a … 4.4 !?

Thanks to MST I’ve seen:  
Quest of the Delta Knights  
Horror at Party Beach.

And that’s it!

None. And proud of it!

How did [“Life Force”](http://imdb.com/title/tt0089489/) not make the list, though? Are all the ones on the list _worse_ that that one??? I guess at 5.6, that qualifies as not-so-bad. That’s the worse movie I’ve ever seen in a theater.

</div>

Just one: **The Honeymooners** (2005), and that one only because it was the in-flight movie.

It wasn’t _that_ bad. I’ve seen plenty of movies that were worse. Not sure it deserves a spot in the bottom 100.

I’ll split mine into 2 lists–MST and non-MST. (\* indicates both.)

**Non-MST:**

Manos\*  
House of the Dead  
Leonard Part 6  
Bolero  
The Incredible Melting Man\*  
Laserblast\*  
Track of the Moon Beast\*  
Can’t Stop the Music  
Beast of Yucca Flats\*  
Creeping Terror\*  
Beginning of the End\*  
Horror of Party Beach\*  
**MST:**

I Accuse My Parents  
Hobgoblins  
Quest of the Delta Knights  
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians  
Topuch of Satan  
Eegah  
Werewolf

I would assume that most of the people who voted for MST films are fans, because I seriously doubt 650 people saw most of those films outside of MST! 😃

I honestly have never seen any of them, despite watching a good bit of MST3K in high school. However, I am shocked and intrigued that there is such a thing as a Garbage Pail Kids movie. God, were those things cool or what?
