What Dreams May Come stands out among the all the bad movies I've ever seen as the only one my whole family watched together and despised with equal passion. Usually, at least one person's tastes will diverge and we'll have a rollicking back and forth, discussing the movie's various pros and cons. But we were all of one opinion on that one.
"Knowing" starring Nicholas Cage. It couldn't pick a genre or stick to it and then had an ending that was ridiculous to the point of being laughable. With Rabbits.
Manos: The Hands of Fate.
I'm going to have to go with the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies.
I hate that film with a passion. First film I saw at the cinema too.....
Well I'm already up to 2 movies I really enjoy mentioned.
I think I'm just gonna avoid this thread from here on out. I'm not sure I can control that little voice in my head that wants to argue, with so much to disagree about going on here.
"Cracks" is pretty bad.
Also starring Eva Green, and surprisingly Matt Smith, is "Womb", which is another example of how to not do films.
Both perfect examples that actors alone does not help bringing a movie up in goodness. Matt Smith and Eva Green are both excellent thespians, but both movies are horrifically bad.
Last night I watched Miami Connection and Revolt on Netflix. Both are solid contenders for worst film ever made but I had fun laughing at how bad they were.
I don't have a single film I like the least, or even a bottom 5 - I don't hate film for being bad, as much as missing potential. Some films I really didn't enjoy:
The expendables
Batman forever
Iron man 3
Promethius

If you include no-name DTV movies, there's hundreds of awful ones, so I'm probably staying away from that.
In terms of things I've seen theatrically, for flat-out worst I'd probably say the atrocious Conan Barbarian remake, runner's up being Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle of Life, Ang Lee's Hulk, Transformers 1/2/3, 10,000 BC.
In terms of most crushing disappointment where I felt angry afterwards, I'd probably say it's a toss-up between Terminator Salvation and Prometheus, with Timeline (one of Crichton's most badass books) and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (finally a big-budget adult animated film, oh wait, it's incomprehensible garbage) as runners up
Wow, decisions..decisions. Like most, this thread isn't capable of holding the plethora of terrible films that get the green light. I could include any film with Eddie Murphy, the Joel Schumacher Batman films, any of the Friedberg & Seltzer movies, along with retarded science-fiction films like Apollo 18 & that supposed Alien prequel (fuck you Ridley Scott!).
However, for me the cardinal sin in film-making is shear laziness & incompetence and the piece of shit film that was the worst film experience of my life is Movie 43. An anthology comedy movie that is completely devoid of any semblance of humor in it. The film's biggest crime it commits is not that it's relies entirely on offensive (and racist) gross-out humor, but that it does it with a cast of A & B list across that hacks like Friedberg & Seltzer could only dream of employing. While F&S have Carmen Electra, Drake Bell, and Kevin Sorbo; Movie 43 has Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, Kieran Culkin, Kate Winslet, Gerard Butler, Kristen Bell, Chloe Moretz, Richard Gere, Elizabeth Banks, and Patrick Warburton, just to name a few.
Movie 43 is a movie whose humor can't supersede the mentality of a 4th grade boy and even with all those talent actors, they created a film that will make a 10 year-old boy cringe more than laugh. Like Teague said during the Apollo 18 commentary; "You (Apollo 18) tried to shit on my face and you shit on my neck...you can't even do that right."
And this movie has wasted enough o
A truly bad movie, to me, is one that is not watchable, often even if you do have the help of the MST3K or Rifftrax guys. Sleepaway Camp is watchable. The Room is watchable. Plan 9 is VERY watchable, with great dialog ("This man is dead. Murdered. And SOMEONE is responsible!"). The incredibly long anime movie Odin: Photon Sailer Starlight is incredibly boring and stupid, but to me it is STILL watchable, if only to see how it can screw up even more. That it ends on a set up for a sequel is just icing on the cake.
