Yep, it is about a tire that is alive and rolls down the road making people’s heads explode with its telepathic powers while the police try to find him and stop him.
Worst. Movie. Ever. I mean absolutely fucking terrible.
No, I pretty much watched it for the Salma Hayek scene.
I belong to a group of friends who have a weekly “Filmnacht”, during which we take turns selecting movies to watch and then mocking them mercilessly. Good fun. We’ve watched some really good films, but every once in a while we spice it up with a real stinker – there is a “garbage prize” that goes to the person who proposes the most unredeemable film yet watched. The current holder of the prize won it for showing Theodore Rex, which features Whoopi Goldberg as the straight-man in the wisecracking cop duo in which her partner is a talking dinosaur. :eek:
Rubber is my candidate, but there a lot of gold suggestions in this thread. 
Oh God, I remember seeing this movie in the theater. I think I went one quiet afternoon when it was the only thing playing and it was truly an awful, awful, awful film. Leguizamo was acting like a poor man’s Jim Carrey and Jeffery Jones was clearly slumming it. Leguizamo has done decent work since, but like you, seeing him in anything makes my teeth squeak.
Yes, saw it on the big screen. I have fond recollections of its better bits but suspect I would find it tedious today.
Most awful film I can remember is Blue Velvet. Never, ever understood the loves for this twisted, sick, stupid and boring Lynchfest.
But not because it’s about tire that etc. They could have made a pretty good parody of horror movies with that schtick. But no, they have to veer off into this lame, sophomoric meta-thing with a crowd of people standing on a hill in the desert watching the movie events unfold. Or some such pretentious, pointless, jerkoff shit.
Oh, and previous winners of the garbage prize have been:
The Room - according to an IMDB comment, "Imagine a two-hour episode of “Red Shoe Diaries” written and directed by Balki from “Perfect Strangers”.
Jersey Shore Shark Attack - you pretty much get what you pay for.
Aw, I kinda liked that one. It’s a lot like Lillyhammer - a Norwegian homage to an American genre. As nearly as I can tell, they Don’t Do Violence* so mobsters, zombies and slashers are big weird thrills there.
- I sincerely hope Breivik was an anomaly.
Should be a triple-feature with Norwegian Ninja and Iron Sky (the latter endearingly bad rather than just bad).
No, it’s the bad twin who survived, and had to be reminded that he was responsible for the other twin’s death (along with all the other mayhem).
Roddy
Oh fuck. I had blocked that part out of my memory completely.
- Glaaaad to be of serrrrrviccce… :rolleyes:
One of my top 5 favorite movies.
Did y’all know that a remake of “Endless Love” is in theaters right now? It doesn’t appear to be much better than the original. I was in high school when that came out, and thought it was good but then again, I was, what, 16 years old? I saw it on TV a few years ago, and shut it off after about 10 minutes because it was absolutely dreadful.
In that case, you might want to check out the previously mentioned Iron Sky. It’s about Nazis, who have a secret moon base, deciding to invade Earth in their flying saucers and Space Zeppelins.
I enjoyed it. 
Blair Witch Project need to be on this list.
My contribution to this thread is Mr. Mike’s Mondo Video. My brother and I went to see it, and in retrospect I’m glad we only spent about $2.00 for admission. We found out it wasn’t a real movie with a plot, but rather a lot of unconnected sketches that seemed to be out takes from a season’s worth of Saturday Night Live episodes. There were a couple of amusing sketches, but as a whole, the film just stank. We had high hopes because it had a couple of people from Saturday Night Live, but it was just a mess.
This was my very first thought upon reading the thread title. Sure, I’ve seen movies that are objectively worse, but The English Patient had awards, and reviewers gushed over it. I spent the entire 3.64 years I watched, wondering when it was going to get interesting.
Bloated, disagreeable. And it gave me indigestion. Besides that, it put me to sleep.
Well yes, it was a bad movie. But it wasn’t awful. Just stupid and pointless. Great plot summary from Wikipedia: “Haunted by the surfing death of his girlfriend, Vera, Kowalski now thrives on adrenaline.”
For me, awful describes something actually painful to sit through. This generally means a movie where nothing happens, even when you initially have a reasonable expectation that something will happen.*
My “winner” in that category is Barton Fink. Jeez, but that was excruciating (and no, the ending did not make it worthwhile). First runner-up: Mulholland Drive.
*as great sages including Mrs. J. have noted, if nothing happens in the first fifteen minutes of a movie, it is an excellent bet that nothing will ever happen.
