I suppose Eraserhead has its fans, but I am not one of them.
I once walked out of a film during the opening song. I figured anything
with such a bad song would not appeal to me. Since I walked out,
technically I did not "see" the film. The film? It was called A Matter

God damn it! I HATE when someone beats me to it. I was gonna say,
"Hmmm...there seems to be a common thread here, but I can't quite put my finger
on it..." but what the hell's the point of doing it NOW?
Worst movie? Plan 9 from Outer Space is the cliche answer...but there are
always reasons WHY cliches became cliches in the first place. Sure, we've seen
some real stinkers listed already in this thread, but most are just crappy
movies. How many films of ANY kind have you ever seen where every single
aspect of production was shriekingly, mind-numbingly awful, with no shreds of
redeeming grace or value? And it's not even awful enough to be funny, it's
just there on the screen in front of you, sucking the very life out of you.
But, hey, I actually liked Eraserhead, so don't go by me.

Anyone who can make it through the title sequence of that picture deserves a

I left ten minutes into the picture, my entire mood destroyed by the credit

There's so many movies to hate for so many reasons...
"Game of Death" for the eerily bad special effects and the exploit-
ation of a long-dead celebrity;
"Bullseye!" for truly bad writing, acting, and an excrutiatingly
long and detailed scene of dogs fucking;
"Prince of Tides" for its sheer narcissism;
"Virtuosity" was the worst movie I'd ever seen in a theatre; and
"Grand Canyon" for being the worst movie that everyone else seemed
to think was really really good.

Lithgow's way over the top acting, and the most ludicrous improbable ending,
there were more unintentional laugh out loud moments in this movie than any

The 90's version of the Island of Dr.Moreau takes the top booby prize
though. I don't know what the worst part of this flick is, the sight and
performance of Marlon Brando, the repulsive creatures incl. that midget
creature that sat on Brando's piano or Val Kilmer's impression of
Brando. Equate watching this movie with a root canal at the dentist.

what a really bad movie is. I watched a lot of horror movies when I was
younger and consequently saw many truly awful films. The ones that
stand out in my memory for having reached the pinnacle of worthlessness
are these:
Zombie (1979) - Sickening violence is common to this sort of film,
of course, but this one has the distinction of containing the single
most disgusting scene it's ever been my misfortune to see. I had a much
higher tolerance for gore in those days, and was quite used to it, but
even I was revolted.
Suspiria (1977)
The Redeemer (1980?) - These two stand out for their conscienceless
sadism. It was obvious that the filmmakers got a kick out of the
cruelty they were showing, and they expected viewers to do the same.
Dario Argento and whoever directed the second one are talentless vermin.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) - This one gets the award for overall,
present-in-every-scene terribleness. Watching it is like spending two
hours listening to someone run their fingernails down a blackboard.
Seeing this film finally made me realize that you have to be an idiot
to enjoy this sort of thing, so I haven't watched one since.

w/ Deniro is wrong hearted, wrong headed, just so damn wrong.
.
.Is there a 'victim group' in existence that wasn't represented in
this movie (or an 'oppressor group' for that matter). Conservative
stereo-types, liberal stereo-types, thug stereo-types, cop
stereo-types...........man, this movie's got them all. Not a human
being in sight.
.
.The idea that Koontz (Deniro's character) would change the very
essence of who he is (an ignorant jerk) on a dime, isn't just
ridiculous. It's completely blind to the human condition. It's
insulting.

Far and Away with Tom and Nicole and directed by (the worst director working
today in Hollywood) Ron Howard - this was one of the few times I've ever
heckled a film!
Another Kidman fiasco - Practical Magic - F-ing hated that movie!
And I walked out of Father's Day (with Billy Crystal and Robin Williams).
Half way through, I could see where this was headed emotionally, and just
didn't want to go there. My friend who stayed for the end said it was
actually worse than he expected.
What bothers me most about these last three movies is that one would think
that there would at least be a level, or degree, of professional proficiency
in a mainstream Hollywood movie. One expects incompetence from Z-grade
flicks and that's part of their charm. Insulting the audiences' intelligence
is never called for, which these three did for me.

That was II. Exorcist 3 isn't bad and has the honor of having the

Choice between "Endless Love" and "The Conqueror."
Also in the running- "Moon in Scorpio" and "Night Force."
The former has John Philip Law, the latter Linda Blair.
Gun to my head, I'd say "The Conqueror" with John Wayne. It would be a
funnier pick if half the cast didn't eventually die from radiation
poisoning. Nevertheless, it is still Truly Bad Cinema.

I caught a few minutes of "The Conqueror" on TCM a few days ago. Yes,
it was bad, VERY bad. But, there are bad films, and bad films that
are unintentionally funny. At least "The Conqueror" has many
unintentional laughs. It is sad, that John Wayne, Susan Hayward,
Agnes Moorehead, Thomas Gomez, and director Dick Powell all died from
cancer, due to the location filming on a nuclear test site.

Any film made by Earl Owensby.
Any film starring Sylvester Stallone or featuring his brother's
music or worse yet, Mama Stallone (don't know her name but moot
point, anyone named Stallone can't act, write, direct, produce
or sing).
Sappy G-rated films.
"Cry Baby."
"The Happy Hooker Goes to Washington."
"Barbarella" (seriously overrated).
"Deep Throat" (extremely overrated).
"Jesus Christ, Superstar," "Tommy" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Hearts Club Band." If you're going to knock "Sgt. Pepper," might
as well include the two films that were the blueprint for "Sgt.
Pepper" - "Sgt. Pepper" is one of the worst films but "Tommy"
was equally as bad and both were films with scripts out of a
cereal box. And just because "Tommy" happened to be from the Who
doesn't excuse the group (they gave their consent for the film
to be made) or ranks the film above "Pepper" - the films are by
no means the worst of the worst, but both were a waste of film.
Any "Godzilla" film made after the original film.
"Motel Hell."
"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" (campy though).
All the sequels after the original "Police Academy."
"Porky's 2."
Swedish soft porn films.

- one of those films so bad it paralyzes. I can remember years back a " bad
movie festival" night given at the U.C. Theater in Berkeley that included
INCHON, THE CONQUEROR (John Wayne as Genghis Khan?) and CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC.
I recall us all mocking INCHON as an obviously bad war movie, and actually
enjoying THE CONQUEROR as something like a comedy, but the deadly CAN'T STOP
THE MUSIC seemed to drive us all out reeling. THAT film was quite an endurance
test, the cinematic equivalent of one of those "electric grip" machines one
finds at an amusement park. On the other hand with THE CONQUEROR it was worth
the price of admission just to see that scene where, after being narrowly
missed by an axe thrown by Susan Hayward, the Duke first glowers, then tells
those all around him that it's "just her Tartar way of showing affection."

Toys and Watership Down are two that spring to mind.

witch.........pure crap-o-ramma

make, the name of the town the characters are in is Nilbog (which is goblin
spelled backwards!!!!!) and at the end of the movie a character gets eaten by
the trolls in a gross scene, yet it was rated PG.
A close second would be 200 Cigarettes, released last year by MTV. My god, I
payed 7 bucks to see this lesson in pain. The actors werent too bad, but the
direction and script....
Its like a guy said outside, "Jesus, did they let the interims make a movie???"

Had the good fortune not to pay 7 bucks for this one, rented the tape
instead and never finished it. It was bad.

OH GOD YES YES YES. Trying, fighting to stay awake, until you learned the
trick of sleeping with your back straight up and your eyes open. Those
were horrible, boring, and utterly stupid. I don't know if training films
have improved over the last 40 years, but I don't see how they could have
gotten worse.
