But should Jude Law and Haley Joel Osment be out of this picture and I would definately give it a 1/10.
Perhaps a 3/10 if it ended when Haley Joel Osment was asking the Lady to turn him into a real boy...

Gee no one mentioned the official worst movie of all time. Plan 9 From Outer Space. Granted since then much worse crap could have been made. So perhaps it is time for a recount.

One of the worst movies I have seen recently is "Dark Angel". It has nothing to do with the TV series. Had Jesica Alba been in it; well it would have been much better to watch. No this is the movie with Dolph Lundgren where he plays a cop invesigating strange murders. There is this stupid looking alien drug dealer come to earth. He has this gauntlet thingy with a toilet snake that pops out of the wrist area. He then lodges this in his victims forehead, injects them with heroin, exsanguinates them, and filters the endorphins from their blood. Because it is the "Ultimate" drug. :p And if that was not bad enough the only thing the alien ever says is "I come in peace". He usually says that right before he kills someone. Oh and the "Space Gun". :rolleyes:

Probably the worst film I own (out of about 500 movies) is Jess Franco's Vampire Blues, although it's not without some merit.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209458/

But for more mainstream movies I thought Verhoeven's Starship Troopers or Hollow Man were extremely poor. The Invisible Man is such a cool idea and with modern effects how did he make it suck so badly?

@BB, surely even a heavily censored Zombie 1 (Dawn of the Dead) is preferable to many other movies although it could be painful to watch! Btw, the French DVD of this is very nice :) I think it's the Argento edit of the movie.

hey, i liked "waking ned devine"...

hmm. worst movie ever? i don't think i could pin it down exactly as i tend to have a fair idea whether a movie is going to be poor, and as such i don't see too many of them.


ones that spring to mind:

- biker boys. gee, what a new and original spin - fast and furious on bikes. and morpheus looked like somebody's sad old uncle in this movie.

- Star Wars - the phantom menace. do we need any more proof that mad cow disease has made it to america and has claimed at least 1 victim?

- V. this was a space horror movie. all i could think while watching it was "does paramount know you've stolen half their star trek memorabilia and put stripes on it?"

- Titanic. very poor. i was moved, but only to laughter, which wasn't cameron's intention i'm sure. the only bit i enjoyed was when that guy fell off the back of the ship onto the propellor (yes, i know. i need help :P) you'd think with a movie that long that statistically at least there's bound to be something worth watching.

I tend to like "bad" movies, just because they're bad. Some of my all-time favorites are widely considered to be extremely bad movies. For example, the first DVD I ever bought was "Showgirls." A gaudy, trashy, shameless, sensational movie with no redeeming social value at all. (Of course, I love every moment of it!)

In the same genre, some other bad classics that come to mind are "Striptease" and "Barbarella."

The FSK 16 version I accidentally picked up here in Germany is easy to describe: Take out every blood scene from the original, and you end up with a totally crippled, senseless film, just awfully boring - a real headache. Then you remember what a cult it was to see the uncensored film on video at the age of fifteen...

Fortunately I could get a copy of the original on DVD in the meantime ;)
Nowadays it's not the horror that makes me like the film, it's the souvenir of the good old times when I watched this kind of "forbidden" films together with the old friends.

There are three Evil Dead movies, where Army Of The Darkness is the third installment. They never should have let Sam Raimi embarrass himself (even more than he already has) with that god-awful Spiderman movie.

Neo Neko, you used too obvious one-liners. "We've got plans for you, girly girl!" would have been much more challenging :D

It's extremely amusing because a skeleton said that, most likely suggesting something sexual -- now what is a skeleton going to do with a girl? Bone her?

Speaking of Spiderman, the recent Marvel movies are all way more terrible than mere words can describe. But on the other hand, so are the comics...

A movie called "Crash" was so mindachingly bad that I sincerely hope that everyone involved in it's production would be shot.

I also despise multimillion dollar Hollywood movies which turn out to be totally useless, empty, meaningless and messageless bubblegum products (such as Armageddon and ID4 mentioned here). Not all of them do, but a vast majority does. That money would be much better spent on building homes for the homeless or feeding the starving.

Edit:

duartix
19th March 2004, 16:30
Do you people know how I manage to quickly check whether a movie is challenging or not, just by browsing IMDB?
Presenting the duartix's 3 easy steps solution:
1. Search IMDB for the movie title.
2. After User rating click the stars (*******) graph.
3. Do the following calculation: r = ( Non-US users - US users )

r > 0.7 - a must see.
0.7 > r > 0.2 - definetely worth watching.
0 > r > 0.2 - check user comments.
r < 0 - triple check user comments if you really really want to see it.
r < -0.2 - run away! Run away !

Well, I can tell you this method has been in use for 3+ years and has worked for me 9 out of 10 times... :D

Army of Darkness is such a fun movie and is one of my favorite movies of all times. Creating such a great movie with so little money is a great archievement. Same goes for the other Evil Dead movies. They are good example how hilarious puppets/stopmotion can be compared to nowadays dull CGI graphics.

Spiderman isn't that bad, but it ain't great either. And i actually liked X-men 2, nothing wrong with that movie imo.

If you want to see horrible go see Ticker http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196158/ It is the worst Steven Seagal movie to date which is really saying something. The acting is horrible, the editing is a joke (when they stop "driving" the background just freezes), and the fight scenes are the worst ever. Seagal was completely out of shape in this movie so the fight scenes consisted of the camera shaking a ton, followed by a shadowy cut to Seagal's face or hands, and then a generic bad guy flying away or falling down. Also notable is Dennis Hopper's weak attempt at an Irish accent which totally flops. If you want to see horrible movies in their highest form, look no further than this movie.

well, there was lots of them, but maybe triple-x wins the crown for me, that 'movie' is a lot of nothing happening very fast for like 2 hours, i was amazed by the amount of bs that was possible to fit into one single film really. (the only reason i wathed it to the end is that feeling when you cant really belive this is for 'real'..)

ok, another winner would be al-pacino in insomnia..., must be the most boring movie ever (which is the opposite of the title really..).

Funny thing, the ratings: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196158/ratings :confused:
How can there possibly be so many people giving 10s? Almost as many as the ones giving 1.

I really liked Insomnia, I've seen a lot more boring films than this.

But I have a new contestant: A knight's tale. I couldn't think of a more kitsch movie. Utterly ridiculous...
It's also incredible the number of people who give good reviews of this movie. I would only give it a 2/10, because I'm hopelessly in love with Shannyn Sossamon...

'Meet prince charming'

I watched this yesterday when it came out on finnish tv. Acting was horrible, plot was something that has been made so many times before and always better. There was no chemistry between the actors and god I hated this movie!

I guess something tells also the facts that:

1. the director of this movie never did anything after this movie.
2. Man who played the main role never acted in movies or tv after this
3. Woman (Tia Carrere) hasn't played in movies after this (except voice-acting in Lilo & Stich)

So I guess the producers were pretty pissed off too :)

I don't think any of you have seen "Journey to the Center of Time". If you haven't and want something to torture your kids when they misbehave, or when you feel like you've sinned and need to hurt yourself, watch this. You can find it in any Wal-Mart DVD bin for like $1-2.

This is a movie that Mystery Science Theatre 3000 would reject simply on the basis that it's too retarded. This is a movie where you expect dubbed over voices for hilarity, but instead it's real voices of the actors and they are tyring to be serious.

Hey I really liked Mortal Kombat, and Tomb Raider. Final Fantasy had bad CGI acting with those almost emotionless faces.

Ed Wood's movies were pretty bad. Also I saw a french version of Fahrenheit 451 in high school english that was absolutely terrible! Someone could make a _much_ better version of it. Could be made into a great film.


The rating on different films in IMdb is because people have different tastes in movies.

I rented Pearl Harbor (2001). It spanned two DVDs. After watching the fist DVD half, I returned it. I don't think I ever failed to watch any other rental all the way through simply because it sucked so bad.

The biggest disappointment of all time was Star Wars Episode I. Star Wars had become a part of the fabric of our culture like no other movie. Money was really no object in making the movie. There was many years to plan this movie and mountains of material to use. Yet, when it came out, it was a stupid cartoon with live actors and CGI backgrounds; little more than a long children's toy commercial. The only interesting villain is quickly killed, and the hero is totally unlikable. I could go on for a long time about bad things about that movie.

The worst offensive of a movie is to be boring. Evil Dead and Battlefield Earth are not guilty of this. Both are cheesy in the extreme. Both are stupid. Neither had cute girls. Yet, RottenTomatoes gives Evil Dead 100% and Battlefield Earth 4%.

I guess when the budget is low, people excuse cheesy and stupid.

The sequals to Evil Dead were better.

Battlefield Earth isn't nearly as bad as claimed. If it were so bad, it would have been ignored rather than lifted up as a bad example.

And you can add a lot of rated 18 cut down to get a 16 rating movies you can get in Germany to that list.. they often are cut in a way so that the story makes no sense anymore.

Hehehe. I liked SMB. It was not in anyway true to it's roots. But it was still kinda fun and original. The broblem with bringing SMB to the screen is that there was very little TnA to flaunt[princess is just flat] and the violence was fairly PC.[jumping on your enemeys and not shooting or disembowling] The engaging part has always been the game play and not the story or the characters. They are largely secondary. Is it any wonder why they are making a Metroid movie and not say Crash Bandicoot, Sonic The Hedghog, Packman, Rockman, etc movie? They may be ok for saturday morning cartoon fare. But not the movies.

As to personal bests - well there are too many "B" movies to rate the best but Death Race 2000 has to get a nomination. After all it has the immortal line "You know Myra, some people might think you're cute. But me, I think you're one very large baked potato"

Battlefield Earth gets my vote for the worst big budget attempt of recent years.

And then there's this little gem I found while channel surfing. It's called "Dragon Fighter" and I think this short clip illustrates the very worst piece of editing I have ever seen!

I wish I could say I hacked it together myself but I couldn't even begin to approach that level of creative genius :)

I think the moment I decided I had to capture it for posterity was when the screen split into three randomly sized parts and that fourth angle that didn't fit into any of the available space just faded in from the side...

I'd have to say without a doubt that The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave is one of the worst movies ever created. Since getting the dvd i've had to watch it in short stints since i just can't sit through it all in one sitting. Maybe they should've gotten the editor from Dragon Fighter to really liven up all this horrible humor, but they probably couldn't have anyway since his trial version of Adobe Premier probably ran out.

This link is rather off topic and i'm sure some of you have already seen it, but i thought i'd throw it in anyway:

As a first post, I'd like to point out that everyone missed Joan of Arc with Leelee Sobieski as our favorite heroine and Neil Patrick Harris, TV's Doogie Howser as the evil king (the guy's like 30 in the film and still looks 12... and surely nothing close to evil). I had to turn this piece of crap off after an hour and a half (nearly an hour before it was over) wishing I'd spent the time stabbing myself in the eye instead.

This is the kind of film that's created for viewing only in mental wards to the recently lobotomized to ensure the procedure went correctly. Not to mention it had to compete with Milla Jovovich being Joan of Arc the same year, and she's got miles of cred on Leelee (cuz she was in Dazed and Confused, of course).

One of the worst movies I have seen recently is "Dark Angel". It has nothing to do with the TV series. Had Jesica Alba been in it; well it would have been much better to watch. No this is the movie with Dolph Lundgren where he plays a cop invesigating strange murders. There is this stupid looking alien drug dealer come to earth. He has this gauntlet thingy with a toilet snake that pops out of the wrist area. He then lodges this in his victims forehead, injects them with heroin, exsanguinates them, and filters the endorphins from their blood. Because it is the "Ultimate" drug. :p And if that was not bad enough the only thing the alien ever says is "I come in peace". He usually says that right before he kills someone. Oh and the "Space Gun". :rolleyes:

Don't know if it's the worst, but I recently saw Womb Raider (adult take on Tomb Raider) and it sucked pretty bad. Terrible, terrible plot and acting. Yeah, I know it's an adult film, but still. Actually, that was the first adult film I ever rented, don't know if they're all that bad. If so, why sit through 2 hours of dreck with nude/sex scenes here and there when you can just get some real porno?

It's the story, the effects... I suppose it is just like "plan 9 from outer space". It is so mind-bogglingly bad it became cult because of that. Because I cannot find anything else noteworthy about it.

If you want bad taste in it's purest form, try "Ilsa, she wolf of the SS". Now there is some bad taste for you!

We can't compare Bad Taste and Plan 9.
Ed Wood was persuaded he was making a science fiction masterpiece, whereas you have just a ridiculous and boring movie that became cult because of this.
Peter Jackson did a science fiction/gore-movie parody/comedy. It's intended to make people laugh and reach its goal quite well (whereas we laugh at Edward Wood). (see the confirmation of his humour in Braindead)
As for the effects: Jackson made everything in the movie (the make-ups, the false guns, a steady-cam, etc.), used an old Bolex camera (30 sec shots max, no sound, designed for holydays movies!), played two roles... This guy is somehow a genius!

Sorry for this expression of my opinion on this, but I like too much Jackson's work :p

PS: the Making Of Bad Taste is an even more intersting film than Bad Taste itself... (yes, I admit that there are much fascinating movies than Bad Taste...;))

Apart from the political contents I can't see a technical reason why Fahrenheit 9/11 was bad. The film was pure infotainment. Documentary mixed with comedy in a very enjoyable way. Think what you want about Moore's thesis, but I think the movie was made brilliantly. It's not intellectual or anything - it was able to reach the masses even its main theme is politics...that's quite something for a documentary-style movie!

ummm... what's with the link list then?

you do realise that a lot of those sites are bankrolled by republicans either directly or indirectly.

but on the flipside, f911 put me off moore forever. as a non-american i found it sick-making... even worse that i'm on his side! it's just not the way to put a case - if the good guys misrepresent everything, then what the hell separates them from the bad guys? you gotta have credibility or skeptics like me will just dismiss you as a fat, whingeing hypocrite.

the corporation was a great doco. though obviously taking a side, it still presented both sides of the argument without obvious distortion (7 hours of extras to pore through if you don't believe me - it's a monster).

as far as bad movies go... here's a few from my neck of the woods:

- Lantana. this is by far the most overrated movie i've ever encountered. it's put australian film back at least 30 years, right when we're reeling from the australia-us FTA messing everything up. not only was it boring as hell, but it was self-indulgent pseudo-intellectual art-wank that served no meaningful purpose but to alienate the 4 or 5 people that bothered to actually watch it instead of just rave about how "good" it is.

- Somersault. extremely boring, with pretty inaccessible and not particularly likable characters. you see boobs, but it's totally not worth sitting through it just for that. obviously trying to be another "lantana", which isn't a good idea.

- Take Away. bloody terrible. breakfast-radio style comedy film with far less charisma. i thought it might be cool, but it was just tiresome.


sadly, all the talent here goes overseas because it can't get funding here. the Australian Film Finance Commission is run by a pack of empty-headed, elitist wankers that clearly don't have the best interests of a once great industry at heart. so good films go overseas to get made (and go quite well, too), and bad films get made, fail, and make it harder to fund the next one.

it's a good thing everyone's got cameras now and can just go shoot their own ideas and make something of them without the need for much funding.

I would have to go with a little flick called Captured (http://imdb.com/title/tt0130530/). This flick was just plain bad, no comedy in it whatsoever, like a good bad movie can offer (see: Mansquito). I believe it was STV, but it might have been a latenight cable release.

As for movies with moderate commercial success, I almost always point my finger towards The Hours (http://imdb.com/title/tt0274558/). I was bored nearly to death by it, and it played a large part in my complete lack of faith in The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. That, and the whole Martin Scorsese dilly-o!

I note that, in this thread, very often, "bad movie" = "boring movie". Even if I think it's a way to define it, I think that it's not always the case.
I found some movies a little (or sometimes really) boring but appreciate their qualities. One example comes to my mind: The Pledge (by Sean Penn). I came close to sleep while watching, but I still consider it as a good movie: serious, straight, mature, etc. Far from some of the mainstream shits which awake you only with decibels...

Alone with this paradox?

Another way to define a bad movie: when you just feel shame for the director/actors... ?

you have a good point. however, no matter how slowly paced a movie may be, it doesn't mean it's boring.

but if people find a movie boring, it quite simply has failed artistically. if the medium of film can't excite an audience, then the director (or whoever) simply hasn't tried - film is such an engaging experience. you're in a large dark room with speakers all around you and a gigantic screen in front of you. actors loom like gods in a closeup. a cinema is a modern-day temple, really. it's pretty hard for this kind of spectacle to be boring, but somehow a lot of filmmakers manage it. perhaps they are boring people? or did they hate their subject so much that they didn't care how they presented it?

i've never quite had the balls to do this yet, but i wonder if people can get refunds if they don't like the movie they paid to see? so many movies promise so much but deliver so little, that really i think enough refunds could help the industry - after all, sales figures say nothing about how good a film is, merely how effective the ad campaign was. refund figures, however, could tell the other side of the story - how many people hated the film.

Of course, thats what this thread is about. I wasn't exactly expecting the Most Definitive Guide Ever To Bad Movies Vol. 1 - but more of an Anti-Desert Island favorites list. When I start a thread like this (and maybe even the person who started this one) I am looking for some movies that may have slipped under my radar, or that I haven't seen in a long while. I actually discovered Mansquito that way (mentioned in my previous post). That movie sucked so hard it owned!

Afterwards, we should add up all the various titles here and see who won.


I walked out of Excess Baggage when it was in the theatres, didn't get a cash refund, but I did get a free showing of another movie in the theatre. I forget what I watched, but I cashed in the voucher dealie thing in upon the next available showtime. I watched maybe 20 minutes of Excess Baggage before I left. Caught it on cable a few years later. Heh.

If we have so much gusto discussing bad films, seriously thinking about them, lovingly naming them, longingly dissect them, then they are popular!

Maybe, therefore, they aren't that bad, after all?

I had to add my 2cents too, I haven't come across this thread yet. Also I think it's curious that this worse film ever thread has nearly double the response as the best ever film thread.

I think how bad a movie is should be judged on how angry it makes you, how far you feel it's insulted your intelligence.

It's already been mentioned but the movie that just made me spitting, hopping mad was Independence Day. I still to this day don't know how my head didn't explode or I didn't throw up when Bill Pullman (the president that doubles up as world saving fighter pilot) made that patriotic rallying speech and gets saluted by that soldier 'cause he's so goddamed heroic. My first reaction was to laugh (for a second or two in sheer disbelief), the second to kill the director. It still gives me goosebumps from cringing about it even now. Personally for me, it's the worst film I've seen by a country mile.
Rant over

Another film I'd like to give an honourable mention because the ending was so bad it ruined the whole film for me (which I was quite enjoying until then) is The Lawnmower Man. Again, the ending made me totally angry. Why oh why did that telephone have to ring? It's the most predictable plot "twist" I've ever come across and consequently I had to completely reevaluate my opinion of it.

@ sugarmonster
That clip is hilarious. I just don't get what was going on in their heads when they came up with the split screens idea. There's only ever one part of the split that has anything going on, in the rest of the splits there are just people standing around doing nothing. Genius. It's a bit like the different camera angles you can view on interactive big brother, except there's nothing ever going on in any of the cameras in BB! ;)

I think this demonstrates the difference between a film that's so bad it's good and a film that's just damn right bad, the ability to make you laugh. I know I said I laughed at Independence Day, but it was genuine disbelief at the garbage that was being screened and it wore off very quickly.

Anything by Uwe Boll. Brace yourselves for BloodRayne! :scared:.

I can imagine how bad Miami Vice is going to be. So much so that Colin Farrel had to OD in order to make it through the filming :devil:. And to think that part of it was filmed here in Uruguay :o.

I was not able to read all the posts in this thread, but I'm sure the worst movie ever must be "House of the Dead". It was so hilarious I actually started reading the nutrition facts on my bag of chips to be entertained.

And just my 2cents for how to rate a movie:

When you are bored to death but the movie has a theme that usually interests you, it can safely be called a bad movie. When it's boring to you and the theme ain't your interest, then you should not rate it. It just was'nt your taste. I personally found some of the movies mentioned here perfectly entertaining and well made and I guess that horror freaks should just not rate movies like "The Hours" or "My own private Idaho"

Paycheck was simply awful - too much stolen elements, crude story...

Fantastic 4 wasn't also a favorite for my part :)

Well, I did mention "anything by Uwe Boll" :).

i saw Underworld Evolution on the weekend.

only good parts belonged to Kate Beckinsale :), though i did laugh heartily at the violent climactic scene, and laughed loudly and inappropriately at the concluding statement (terminator 2 conclusion anyone? RIPOFF!).

funny it got an OFLC rating of MA - strong sex scenes and strong violence. there was nothing of the sort - 1 okay sex scene and some comical violence doesn't really count. but then the OFLC are useless annoying #@%$!$#@'ers anyway.

well then it's definitely worth seeing.

probably the only really well photographed scene in that moofie. interesting angle too - not usual for a mainstream film.

In a post-apocalyptic future where you must roller-skate or die, you might be lucky enough to have you life saved by the usually nekkid lesbian nuns who worship the smiley-face. But remember, they can only heal you once. Why? It's the rules, dammit! It's a world where the effects are done on video and the most evil villain is a hand-puppet. If there is a film worse than Roller Blade (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089930/), I don't want to see it.

I'm sorry if this has already been brought up. Asking about the worst is surely the same as aking about the best. Rule 12. I know I will get a flamed for this, but anytime someone asks "what is best" someone jumps on them. What is the difference in asking what is worst?

I am neither interested in whats worst or whats best.
And not all forum rules make sense. But i believe the rule was put up to prevent questions like "whats the best codec" since people are picky about replying and explaining to newbies, normally. ;)

But if I have to pick a movie that really sucked, then it was


DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS

No, really, I hate Harry Potter, but at least it had some nice effects.
But come on... Dungeons and Dragons is probably one of the worst movies ever.

And the basic theme was NOT SO BAD about it !
But the movie became a crap one

You may have a winner with D&D. That movie is terrible. It is just so forced. Like how they are running from the enemy and oops, we tripped over a dwarf sleeping. Ok now we have a dwarf in our party and he is going to fight with us till the end for no particular reason.

I read and article about how the entire cast revolted against the director because it was turning out so bad. By the end they were just ad-libbing everything.

Worst - "Joe Dirt", "Gone in 60 Seconds", "Little Faus and Big Halsey"

Best - Too many. I like the Coppola flicks of the 1970s.
