List of some of the worst movies you have ever seen

I’ve been running Bad Film Festivals since well before MST3K even existed. I look for enjoyably bad movies, which aren’t too excruciating or boring, so I ignore a l,ot of truly Bad Films (It’s not a movie, but the Star Wars Holiday Special fits into this category – I’ve never been able to sit through the whol;e thing in one go).

Some of my choices:
**Plan Nine from Outer Space

Robot Monster

Bride of the Monster

Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze

The Swarm

Lost Horizon** (the musical version. It’s cringe-inducing)

Sahara (The Matthew McConaughy/Dirk Pitt/Clive Cussler movie)

Tales from the Past/Gallery of Horror – this one is TRULY bad! It has Lon Chaney, Jr. and John Carradine. It’s a set of stories with “twist” endings, only the endings are appallingly obvious long before. The sound and picture quality are muddy. The acting is atrocious. The best scenes are literally taken froim Roger Corman movies.

**10,000 B.C.

Deadly Friend

The Story of Mankind** – another classic. Based on a bestselling book, but badly made by Irwin Allen. It boasts a stellar cast that is completely wasted – Ronald Colman, Peter Lorre, The Marx Brothers, although not together (Harpo plays Sir Isaac Newton!!!). With Vincent Price as the Devil !!

Invaders from Mars – this is considered a classic, directed by William Cameron Menzies, but it is truly and incredibly awful, no matter what they say. I once saw it booed off the screen by a well-dressed audience at an art cinema.

King Solomon’s Mine – another star-studded disaster, starring Richard cXhamberlain as Alan Quatermain, it also has Sharon Stone, John Rhys-Davis, and Herbert Lom. It’s unbelievably awful.

22

Now how do you know that? Have you had some sort of unpleasant personal dealings with the woman?

23

The worst movie I ever saw in a theater: Lifeforce.

24

Another vote for Battlefield Earth.

I don’t actually watch a lot of movies, but I read a lot of reviews of bad movies. A well-written takedown of a bad movie is a work of art in and of itself (such as the linked review above).

The thing is, when I actually do watch these movies, I don’t notice a lot of the “bad” on my own, as I am utterly lacking in any viewing sophistication. Hackneyed plot, thinly drawn characters, cliched dialogue . . . tends not to bother me. I won’t notice the anachronistic weaponry and cars; I will forgive the historical liberties. I’ll be blind to the shoddy CGI.

That was, until Battlefield Earth came along. It just bludgeoned me with its awfulness, from the dialogue, to the weapons, to the “special effects,” not to mention the entire premise.

Whatever you do, don’t watch this in proximity to Pulp Fiction, or your brain will explode from trying to reconcile the presence of John Travolta in both films.

25

Turner Classic Movies aired that a while back. I Tivo’d it because I wanted to make sure it was this movie, and not, say, a foreign film with the same title.

Yep, a megabomb about an aerobithon!

:smiley:

26

Resident Evil - The entire franchise. Simply no redeeming features.

At Long Last, Love - Wow. So awful that the people who made it won’t even discuss it.

Showtime - Eddie Murphy/Robert DeNiro. Never happened before. Hasn’t happened since.

The Greatest Show on Earth - Simply the worst film that was ever awarded the Academy Award for Best Picture. A star-studded borefest that is so awful that it is rarely shown on modern television.

The Conqueror - John Wayne stars as Genghis Khan. If most its cast hadn’t sadly died from cancer (allegedly from being downwind of a Nevada nuclear test while filming it, this POS wouldn’t even be memorable.

And ( drumroll please) the WORST film that I have ever seen:

Howard the Duck - The worst adaptation of a Marvel comic in modern history. It is so bad that 1990’s Captain America is a superior film. So bad that it makes Lea Thompson’s 90’s sitcom Caroline in the City look like high art.

So bad that none of the film’s stars now wish to discuss the film or their roles in it.

27

You may enjoy the time Redletter Media watched all of them back to back. The movies drove them into total meltdown.

If you want to just see how they reacted to the last one, here is them watching the ending.

28

Very little in the exploit-whatever-is-in-the-news genre compares with Nude on the Moon. Starring Marietta as Moon Goddess! In her only movie role!

29

There’s only two movies that I paid to see that I walked out on because of how bad they were.

Die Another Day, and Color of Night.

To that, I’ll add the three movies that I have so far graded as an “F” on my blog:

Beach Party
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920)
Magical Mystery Tour

30

Yes indeed. We exchanged letters one time.

But, I’m afraid that I feel it would be betraying confidences if I was to post exactly what happened in a public forum.

Sorry.

31

Battleship. It’s like the Chris Pine Star Trek, without the intelligence. A stupid kid bungles his burglary of a store, his military brother thinks that a hitch in the Navy might straighten him out, so next thing you know, the bungling burglar is commanding a battleship. Which seems to have a crew of five, since Rihanna apparently does every job on the ship, from electronics tech to heavy guns.

To be fair, I haven’t seen the last hour. I tried again yesterday, now that it’s running constantly on HBO, and I didn’t even get as far as I did the first time.

32

Cannibal Holocaust - As a gorehound I thought this movie would be perfect for me, however the film was mostly just abuse to animals. The found footage set up doesn’t really work, and what little there is of it shows more of the crew raping/murdering the natives than their eventual revenge. The retaliation scenes only last a minute or two. What a letdown.

33

Ghost Dad has no redeeming qualities whatsoever

At least I could enjoy laughing at how bad Leonard part 6 was. Ghost Dad didn’t even have that going for it

I don’t know why cosby is so bad in moviefilms. I love the cosby show

34

Command of a battleship?

Really?

Being given command of a battleship of any other kind of a ship seems like a very bizarre fate for someone who is relatively new to the navy. In fact, it seems just about nearly impossible.

How in the world would any navy newcomer been given command of any kind of ship?

Was every other kind of commander killed before he wound up in command of this battleship?

That just seems incredibly strange to me!

35

The Grey

Trouble With The Curve

Gran Torino

The Two Jakes

Cheyenne Autumn

Anything with Adam Sandler, but admittedly I’ve never been able to make it all the way through one.

Taken 2 (seems Liam Neeson will take anything that includes a paycheck)

36

This movie was ridiculous. I still can’t believe all the Rihanna scenes. Somebody actually got mad at me for commenting on all the Rihanna scenes.

37

Master of Disguise. Kids movie. Walked out after about 45 minute sbecause my brain was bleeding. None of the kids complained.

Bolero–I was about 21, Bo Derek movie. Lots of nudity. Still walked out. God that was bad!

38

My worst-movie-that-was-supposed-to-be-good (as opposed to worst-movie-that-everyone-knew-was-going-to-suck) is Prizzi’s Honor. The reviews were good or very good, the plot summary sounded interesting… and it was absolutely, totally, unreservedly awful.

39

Huh, I like both Gran Torino and The Grey, although I admit The Grey was a stupid movie it was OK to chew popcorn and veg out for 2 hours.

40

Wagons East John Candy’s last movie about a group of fed up homesteaders trying to get back east. Awful !
