Two already mentioned , Boys and Mixed Nuts, were reallly bad. I saw Space Truckers on TV a few weeks ago too but I wasn’t really paying attention to it because I was trying to match up socks
My dad has a few pretty bad ones too… ever see The Seventh Seal? Maybe I don’t get it, maybe because it’s in the original Swedish (I think)…
::gathers up courage::
I know I’ll get beaten for this but… Evil Dead? I’m sorry but I can’t even stand to watch it!
::ducks and runs::
Battlefield Earth blew chunks. I’m cheap and I love movies and the whole movie experience. But I was tempted to walk out. Half way through I told my husband, “this sucks. Wanna leave?” He said we might as well stay since we paid.
aack! Stoooooopid.
He’s a dolt. I don’t like, don’t find him attractive and haven’t liked any movie he’s ever been in. Actually, if he’s in a movie, I won’t go simply for that reason.
This one hasn’t been mentioned yet; Last week I rented “Liberty Heights.”
To quote my favorite bully, Nelson Muntz: “Whoa, talk about your pieces of crap!”
Yeah, in retrospect, Battlefield Earth, while truly awful, is not the worst movie I’ve ever seen. That honor still belongs to Glen or Glenda?, which blows right past Plan 9 on the list of godawful Ed Wood films. Really, if you think Plan 9 is bad, you haven’t seen Wood’s very worst.

“Yentl” was excruciatingly painful to watch, but then again, all Streisand movies suck. Also, any movie with “Pokemon” should be destroyed. “Sleeping With The Enemy” was pretty lame, too.
Gus Van Sant’s 1998 version of Psycho was mind-boggling. How could you reshoot a classic, damn near shot for shot, and have it suck like a black hole? Then again, if remaking a movie, why would you try to do it exactly like the first one anyway? And why try to redo a near perfect film?
By the way, Tequila, I think the Kevin Bacon crap you were talking about was Quicksilver.
Ouch, I really liked some of the movies on this list…
Blair Witch
Clay Pigeons
Hudson Hawk
To each there own I guess…
FWIW, my nominees would be:
‘Cabin Boy’ - I can’t believe that Letterman would be associated with this pile.
‘8 Heads In A Duffel Bag’ - Not one funny joke or redeeming quality in this whole film. Can’t even qualify as “so bad it’s good”, because you can tell it’s trying really hard to be clever.
Well…I personally collect bad biker movies. A friend of mine does also, and he has in his possesion the worst movie of any kind ever. I have never seen it anywhere else but I did find mention of it on a movie database. It is called “JC”, and it really has to be seen to be believed. I have never been able to watch it all in one sitting. We onced handcuffed a friend of ours to a chair and made her watch it. It is that bad.
It is the story of a poor misunderstood leader of a hippie motorcycle club, who loses his job for smoking dope at work, and then goes on a quest to his hometown with the rest of his club. At this point the credit start rolling you are thinking, thank god…its over…then you realize it’s the onpening credits. JC, the leader guy, who later sorta becomes Jesus Christ, but not really, apparently comes from this small town, where he was the son of a preacher who used to have visions, and named him after the “JC”. JC keeps getting visions while on the road which he describes as “a giant winking eye, up in the sky. Colder than a dead whore.” I only wish I were kidding. The movie starts to degenerate from there, with such memorable scenes as JC, rolling around on his bed in his underwear(complete with skid marks…I kid you not) having some sort of acid trip/vision. One of the hippie girls reciting the dictionary definition of negro to a bunch of racist rednecks who said something bad about her black friend. Slim Pickens as the redneck sherriff. a big ending scene where JC sacrifices himself to save everyone, preaching to the crowd as the rednecks shoot him, with his arms outstreached like he was on the cross.
I can’t do this justice, it has to be seen to be believed.
Man, i would of never guessed that someone would mention Blue Velvet amid this slew of horrid films. Sure it maybe cryptic ,a bit unnerving, and at times cheezy, but it doesn’t not deserve the title of “worst Movie ever”, no Lynch film should deserve such lashings. I personally think that this one of the best movies…of all the time, so my judgement might be a bit convoluted.
Oh…and for my vote for the Worst Movie Ever would have to go to…either Titanic or Red Dawn.
8 Heads in a Duffel Bag
Just the name makes me cringe
I don’t think anyone knows what the hell was going on with those dancers.
Chuck, have you ever seen the MiSTed version? It’s actually pretty funny if you can force yourself to sit through this turd of a movie. If not, you can check out the summary on the MST3K site. (BTW: Has anyone else noticed that most of the worst movies on IMDb have also been on MST3K at some point?)
If only the producers had thought of that before they were released. ::shudders::
Hands down must be Dead Man with shudder Johnny Depp. I have never seen such a large amount of poo in my entire existance as a human being. From the opening credits to the closing I wanted to spew up my popcorn. This is the singular movie that made me hate Johnny Depp with such a passion after I learned he “fought” to have this movie made. Why? Christ on a Crutch, it was horrible.
Mr. Jeannie and I enjoy watching bad movies, so we’ll purposely rent bad ones. But they have to be so bad it’s funny, so we can play MST3K, the home version. We actually went out and saw Battlefield Earth (we didn’t pay to get in). It did not disappoint. It was a hysterically crappy piece of bad film.
But for mind numbing badness, you need to see Dish Dogs. I cannot begin to explain all of the reasons it’s bad. It’s a movie where you can’t believe it’s that bad. You keep watching because you figure there has to be something redeeming about it. So you wait…and you wait…and…you get the idea. Rent it if you dare, but I will warn you: There are no likeable characters. There are no witty bits of conversation. Richard Moll is in it. Shannen Elizabeth tries to act in it. Matthew Lillard sings in it. And…Brian Dennehy plays a surfer in it. At one point, he wears a wet suit. You will hate this movie.
I have yet to find a movie I hate more. But Godzilla (with Matthew Broderick) and Howard the Duck come very close.
If based on the sheer gulf between aspiration and result, I’d say Howard the Duck has to be a strong contender. Top director, pet project (no pun intended), gazillion dollars, cutting edge fx… total disaster.
Mention must also be made of the fourth (and oft rightly forgotten) Superman film, Superman IV The Quest For Peace, made once Golan/Globus had acquired the franchise. They managed to lure back Chris Reeve, Margot Kidder etc., but however much they were paid it wasn’t enough. Total dreck from first to last.
I also think Penn & Teller Get Killed is a pretty awful movie. I’m a big P&T fan, don’t get me wrong, but the movie just did not work at all IMHO.
Just because nobody mentioned it yet, my old ‘Worst Movie Ever’ holder was The Good Son, a psychological thriller starring none other than Maucaulay Culkin. The Home Alone movies were one thing but damn this was painful. Let me tell ya, only copious amounts of making out kept me in the theater for this one. (Which is only fitting, since it was the then-gf that chose the movie in the first place.)
And good call betenoir, I did not, in fact see “Several More Idiots in the Woods,” as I suppose I had learned my lesson by that point. It also helps that one of my co-workers told me, “You know those wood things from the first movie? Well, it turns out that in this movie they’re the key to interdimensional travel.” Now I’ve never verified if that was true or not, but it was enough to eradicate any desire I may have had to see BW2.
Two major mistakes in my movie-going career:
Dante’s Peak. Driving through lava without a single tyre going pop, and a whole town drinking polluted acidic water before being told “Whoops! You’re in trouble now, guys!”
Lost in Space. A total waste of film. Especially that cute little thing with what looks like genitalia on its head.
Andy Warhol’s “Bad”. The title sums it up. tedious, opaque, as much fun as intestinal colic, with no way to decompress except to exit the theater.
Another vote for Battlefield Earth.
