The worst movie I've ever seen is Escape from DS-3.
I don't care what movie anyone else on this thread names, it is not worse than the abomination unto mankind that is Escape from DS-3.

"Crash" - not the one about people getting a sexual charge from auto accidents. "Sideways" is a close 2nd.
These are the worst in that I saw them and loathed them and then people treated me like a bad person for not finding these movies as deep/moving/etc as they did.

Wow, bonus points, I've never even heard of this movie and I've seen some obscure bad movies.

I found it on a recorded cassette tape from a seine boat I was on.
I don't think you can even find it on VHS, let alone DVD. It only has thirty votes on IMDb, so I guess it's kinda obscure. That's a good thing, too, because it was so bad that I had to fastfoward the last quarter of the film.

The movies bad enough to have made it on Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I have a thread about said show here (http://www.revleft.com/vb/mystery-science-theatre-t122971/index.html?t=122971).
One of the most memorable made-for-tv disaster-pieces (for me, at least) has to be Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.

There was an extremely bad 50's B movie that come packaged with the game 'Destroy all Humans' I remember watching when I was extremely bored. 'Teenagers from outer-space' I think it was called. Certainly the worst movie I've ever had to endure.
I don't go out hunting bad movies though... these movies are ones I'd went to the Cinema expecting them to be alright, but thought they were shit -

Slither

Also pretty much every movie with Nicholas Cage in it... although, I don't expect anything with him in it to be good. He's like some hellish recyclable acting tin-man.

Disturbia and When a Stranger Calls were exactly the same - one just had a big-name actor (Shia Lewhatever). There was a shitty romantic subplot that never really went anywhere, some guy goes around killing without explaining any motive or backstory, shitty "scare" scenes, shitty resolution.

The movies bad enough to have made it on Mystery Science Theatre 3000....
At least one movie they trashed was good, This Island Earth (Joseph M. Neuman, 1956.)
I imagine everyone has different criteria of what makes a bad movie. For me it's going for easy thrills and cheap emotions wedded to a bombastic mise-en-scene, so almost the entire oeuvre of Stephen Spielberg, especially the Indiana Jones movies, would make it on my all time worst list.

I think the problem with shit movies is that some of them are just so bad that you can actually derive considerable enjoyment watching and laughing at them. For example Jaws: The Revenge, widely purported to be among the worst films ever made, was actually quite enjoyable to watch simply because it was so terrible.
I think the secret to finding a truly awful film is one that is bad but doesn't have the above property that actually makes it a laugh to watch. I'm thinking here of films such as The Oxford Murders which, in addition to the typical suspect acting, terrible plot and disasterous dialogue, tried so had to be unpredictable and eerie that it just became very very boring and cliched. Then again you also have films such as Strip Tease that exists just to appeal to 15 year old boys and at the same times tries to pretend that it has a progressive message regarding the exploitation of women. Similarly the way in which Megan Fox was employed in Transformers 2, drapped across fast cars, was nothing short of a cheap attempt to use the objectification of women to sell cinema tickets to horny teenagers.

The Die Hard films are examples of decent action films(minus the fourth one, which I do not recognize). H.E.A.T. is another example. Actually I would grant "So Bad it's Good" status to many of those films I mentioned. I should add Face-Off, which had this hilarious plot hole where Travolta(as the good guy) is told he must be careful with the voice modifying chip; because even a cough could dislodge and disable it. He then proceeds to- well, do everything he does in that film, with no damage to the chip. The funny thing is they actually wrote themselves INTO that plot hole rather than vice versa.

I never used to like screwball comdies but lately I've been on a kick: Preston Sturgess and Cukor. I saw "Adam's Rib" for the first time recently and it was really interesting to see the battle of the sexes in the 40s and think, wow, just 10 years and the Hollywood screwball heroine went from agressive and smart Katherine Hepburn to passive and hapless Dorris Day.

Vidiots and Cinephile are still there, and the guy who runs Cinephile took over the Silent Movie Theater on Fairfax and shows cult movies now (and a token silent once in awhile).
I've seen Sullivan's Travels and liked it.
About the transition from Kate Hepburn to Doris Day, during the 30s and 40s women were needed in the work force and the strong assertive woman was the ideal to inspire women to get out of the domestic scene and onto the factory floor. But by the 50s, the Eisenhower era, the idea was to return women to passive domesticity.
John Waters knows what he's doing, so he's not some clueless panderer like Michael Bay. Pearl Harbor was one of the all time worst movies ever, bar none.

I don’t like the Coen Bros. and haven’t since seeing Blood Simple. I’ll concede that they’ve improved as filmmakers once they left the Sam Raimi influence behind after Miller's Crossing. I've missed as many Coen Bros. movies as I've seen, and mostly just don't warm up to them, but I did like The Big Lubowski, Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, The Man Who Wasn't There, and Burn After Reading.
I can't say I think No Country For Old Men was bad exactly. Many things about it were very well-done. But after a promising opening of Jones' fine introductory narration over well-visualized still Texas landscapes, the characters came in and after that I found almost the entire movie unusually irritating.
Here’s what David Eherenstein had to say about NCOM:…"What I find unpleasant about it -- and many of the Coen brothers other movies as well, is the way it flatters the audience. With the exception of Tommy Lee Jones, all the other characters in the film are either monstrous (Bardem) or stupid (Brolin). We always know more than they do -- which flatters us without reason or justification."
Frankly, I do think Ehrenstein's insight about "flattering the audience" was a tremendously penetrating one that Coen Bros. fans are going to need to engage and can’t ignore.
Also, there always seems to be something so synthetic in the relation of their films to reality (I don't mean "artificial" which art is supposed to be) —I do mean "synthetic" which suggests the shallowness and remove I feel, as if they can never on any level carry themselves deeper beyond the surface of the image, even to the deeper ideas which seem to be suggesting themselves. Among other things, this is something that can have telling effect on scenes of violence and killing, which I have no problem with otherwise but which I reacted to so negatively here. That's just my take--but in their own way, the Coens seem to have as negative a relationship to classic cinema, and especially genre cinema, as Spielberg does. The relationship of lived reality to clever filmmaking with some highly assertive (and not necessarily appealing) flair never has any real balance. I say this in spite of the untraditional narrative structure (in terms of resolution) of "No Country," which in a film I liked I know I would respond to.
I’ve been told that "No Country" closely follows Cormac McCarthy’s novel, and there’s a very lame scene in the film that comes from the book, so the Coens were stuck with it. Thinking about it now, this was the point where my own sensibility on some level disengaged from the film and never fully came back to it. To be asked to accept something psychologically unbelievable is bad enough, but to then be forced to watch two hours of an unpleasant blood bath in the wake of something unbelievable means that all that negativity is constructed on a house of cards. I just don’t relate to the Coen’s brand of hipster nihilism. The "everything and everybody sucks" attitude seems old and tired, cheap and used up to me.

I saw it aged 12 at the Cinerama Dome in its original SuperPanavision aspect ratio and found it intermittently funny at the time. Years later I saw the restored version at the original venue, and the SuperPanivision format keeps it from being one of the worst movies, though it's not particularly funny. Of course, TV viewing doesn't do it justice.

Ok you want to talk about liberal clap-trap? I haven't seen Charlie Wilson's War(I read the description and it caused my bullshit detector to peg out), but let's talk about the liberal circle jerk known as Bobby. The most annoying thing is that ongoing conversation between the dickhead(I forget who plays him), and the Czechoslovakian Dubcek supporting journalist. First off, the American guy, being a liberal, is naturally more politically astute than the ignorant brainwashed Communist. He espouses the greatness of America's "democratic" two party system(TWICE as good as a one party state!), and asks her when's the last time her country had such an election(always asserting the superiority of American liberals over backward Communists). Instead of responding immediately(and given her age and the political education of her country this should be no problem), she comes back later and informs him- 1946(this is accurate). His smug liberal response- "And the Communists STILL won!" Liberal moral lesson- Elections aren't democratic if Communists win them. Super ironic lesson- More than two parties were competing in that election, IIRC.

I recently saw a film called Taken, that stars Liam Neeson. It was definitely in my list of worst films, albeit fairly commercially successful (I'm not suggesting that commercial success is an adequate measurement of a films' credibility by any stretch, I'm just pointing out that it is probably quite rarely considered one of the worst films ever!).
In short, the plot is as follows; a man's daughter visits Paris with a friend, gets picked up by eastern-european sex-traffickers upon arrival, so daddy has to fly to Paris and murder 50 or so people (both innocent civilians and eastern-europeans) in order to save her. The daughter's friend is never seen or heard of again, and the daughter's father causes much damage to the city of Paris (with no legal problems) and no doubt causes an adverse affect to many people's lives.
For me, the film highlighted all of the problems inherent in our capitalist society. It is a disgusting film that highlights the pathetic individualistic nature inbuilt into the capitalist system. It's all me, me, me--fuck everyone else. It was also racist, xenophobic and sexist in many ways. I would not reccommend this film to anyone, unless you want to be pissed off!
On a lighter, off-topic note; can anybody reccommend any good films that could be considered socialist?

I said this in another thread
WAR OF THE WORLDS
Also while not the worst film ever The Dark Knight was vastly overrated.
Also the only good thing about "Dark City" was the visuals. What a bunch of pretentious, badly-paced, badly-written, badly-acted SHITE.
I usually don't watch bad movies, I usually watch movies that I'm 99% sure I'll like from what I've heard about it. So I'm not much use to this thread!
The Man Who Saves the World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCnyay%C4%B1_Kurtaran_Adam).
To this day I find it hard to believe that a movie can be so horrible.
I just looked that up on Youtube and that is quite possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Anyways, worse movies:
Most Animated Disney Movies
FUCK YOU
My take on Disney films: All of the animated films Disney produced from 1937 to 2000 were good with the exception of Pocahantas and the Aristocats. One was laughably racially insensitive, and not just a single character or scene, such as the Jewish/Sicillian stereotype Stromboli in Pinocchio, the Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp, etc but the entire movie. Aristocats was just boring and the only good scenes were the ones with the dog harassing the Butler and that was it.
But seriously how can ya hate Disney films they're awesome, despite Walt Disney being an anti-semitic union buster.
I want to add a movie that seems to not have been mentioned: Charlie Wilson's War
I would seriously advocate that we burn every copy of this dvd and blu ray disc, middle ages style.
I looked it up and saw "Aaron Sorkin" as the director and immediately discovered why it was "liberal claptrap".

A lot of people told me about this movie because I have been following the news with sex-trafficking for many years no, insofar as I can stomach it, and I was immediately disappointed by the plot. The film doesn't give the audience any real understanding of the problem- I kind of saw it as a film equivalent of all those "missing white girl" stories on the news. In other words, nobody gives a shit when thousands of Ukrainian or Tajik girls are bought and sold as slaves, but DON'T FUCK WITH SOME MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN'S DAUGHTER!!!! Not to mention the fact that while there are countries where sex traffickers will kidnap girls even off the streets, France is not one of them, and they certainly wouldn't target Western girls for such things. So I decided after watching the trailer and reading the descriptions not to see this film.

I don't think that has anything to do with it. It's just that I can't imagine some rich guy's daughter going to party with a friend in say, rural Moldavia, where such kidnappings occur.

I think Human Trafficking with Mira Sorvino and Donald Sutherland did a better job in showcasing the problem of human trafficking since it focuses on a Czech, Ukrainian, and an American girl who are either kidnapped or duped in different parts of the world and are traded like salt. Depressing film. China's Stolen Children from HBO was another ok flick, though in this case it was a documentary more than a drama film.

Dirty Harry is one of Don Siegel's best Eastwood films, though I prefer Coogan's Bluff and Escape From Alcatraz. It had Siegel's characteristic skillfull compositions and cutting and his mise en scene of the San Francisco locations was deployed in the service of the story in an excellent manner. Of course I don't have any sympathy with its law & order rouge cop hero message.

"The Host" is excellent:lol:! But I don't think Cloverfield comes from that particular movie. I don't think the concept of a giant monster chillin' in a giant city... and hyjinks ensue... was invented in 2004 (or whatever year "the host" came out). In fact it's actually a remake of "It Came From Beneith the Sea" where scientists in antartica disturb some holy ice and a huge monster comes out and heads for NYC.

All they do is look at what is currently in the news, totally distort the issue(if we are talking about politics), and then inevitably the adults act like a bunch of morons until he kids finally give a preachy "both sides are OK speech". And despite what another poster said, the way they portray people who play WoW or Guitar Hero is irrelevant. The fact is those companies wouldn't allow the use and display of their product were it not for the fact that it was essentially free advertising(or perhaps the company paid, who knows).
The Simpsons is an example of real satire because you can actually learn things about history, culture, and classic entertainment from its references. The more educated(not necessarily formally) one is, the more jokes you get.

You forget the difference is that commercials and tv shows glorify the product/people. But on, say, south park when they parody something, they portray the product in a nonglorified manner which is the whole point. Commercials basically say "use this product and you'll be cool!;)" But in a parody, like south park, every time they refer to a product or trend, they portray the people who use it as, like i said before, people with a herd mentality or retarded in some way. Parodying an actual product is much more interesting and gets the message across much better. And i dont think its old, cuz its always funny as hell. I dont believe that south park has lost its "spark".
And in my opinion, The Simpsons really isnt funny anymore. On shows like south park, they arent afraid to say or do anything, unlike simpsons, which is more of a family show, even though simpsons does have a lil bit of adult humor too.

But on, say, south park when they parody something, they portray the product in a nonglorified manner which is the whole point. Commercials basically say "use this product and you'll be cool!;)" But in a parody, like south park, every time they refer to a product or trend, they portray the people who use it as, like i said before, people with a herd mentality or retarded in some way. Parodying an actual product is much more interesting and gets the message across much better. And i dont think its old, cuz its always funny as hell. I dont believe that south park has lost its "spark".
And in my opinion, The Simpsons really isnt funny anymore. On shows like south park, they arent afraid to say or do anything, unlike simpsons, which is more of a family show, even though simpsons does have a lil bit of adult humor too.
Again, the sponsors don't allow the use of their product unless they think they are going to gain from it. Remember that Beavis and Butthead were portrayed as complete losers, and yet kids still tried to emulate them because they missed the point of the show. Most people who would play a game like WoW know that many people will consider them to be basement dwelling nerds anyway.
If the Simpsons has declined in hilarity(and I would agree that the last season I saw was pretty lackluster), it is because they have dumbed down the show by making references to contemporary pop culture, like recent movies as opposed to classic films and historical figures. Also, South Park has an unfair advantage because it is on cable, and thus allowed more leeway in terms of what they can show. That being said, are these things automatically hilarious? Looser restrictions usually means that writers get lazy and substitute sexual/bathroom jokes for actual humor.

Apparently, nobody on this site has ever seen "Battlefield Earth". I heard how bad it was from various people, and I had to see it for myself. Worst. Movie. Ever.

South Park is definitely an advertisement and Kayser Soso is dead-on (though I hate everything Simpsons after the 8th season, I try once very year and it just gets worse and Homer becomes a spiteful self-parody).
Chinpokomon made fun of Pokemon much better than the WoW episode did for WoW and they didn't use the actual names of the products, because good satire doesn't need to be so direct.
They also have become preachy libertarians who glance at headlines and mock environmentalism especially as stupid (just let companies do everything they want!) and there were seeds of this in lackluster episodes like Gnomes that while I agree that liberal glorification of local capitalism can be silly, argues that Starbucks or its spoof is #1 because it's the best??? Uh yeah.
The first 5 seasons were solid with nice critiques of conservatives and classics like the film festival where everything in South Park gets bought out by Hollywood rich folk.

Worst movies though....definitely Uwe Boll. I'm also developing a disgust for the Coen brothers. Fargo was one thing with its creepy stalker played by the sexually appealing yellow man, and I wasn't aware of that stereotype, but I reexamined it after watching A Serious Man with its depiction of Koreans as bribing, deceitful, dishonest, honor-obsessed dorks. O Borther was sweet, but that's about it. No Country completely robbed the books subtext of the characters being Vietnam vets (my friend is a McCarthy fan and said they omitted this. I hated the story of the movie, but adding this to it gave me a whole new lens to assess the narrative).
And Crash of course.
This thread would do well to stick to horrible and over-rated movies rather than compete for worst obscure movie knowledge. No common ground.

Some guys at work were once watching this movie called "An American Carol"
This movie may be one of the worst ever. Also, Terminal starring Tom Hanks. That movie was awful.

Honestly I thought Avatar'sdeus ex machina at the end just killed the movie. In real life the planet doesn't come to save you. People use tactics. Other sci-fi stories such as Dune made perfect sense, a great ending without the need of a deus ex machina. But Avatar was all looks and no brains (all graphics and no plot).
EDIT: Almost forgot it: Inglorious Bastards was simply horrible. I hated it, I loved the beginning with the farm house but from there it went down, really fast...

That may be but their mystery science theater 3K more than made up for their shortcomings in other areas.
