worst movies ever!

In another thread it was suggested that "Battle of the Bulge" was the worst movie ever.
After thinking about this for a while, I think I have to disagree.
What about "Wind Talkers"?
Or some of those Italian "Hercules" movies?
There has to be some other movies that are worse than those I have mentioned.

Patton,! worse piece of ……………..Jk
Are we talking Holly weird ? If so I would say Windtalkers ranks right up there with anything someone puts out there .
Totally unrealistic, the only sober Marine was the Indian [:D]

Can anybody actually say what the worst movie ever, was? There are a lot of movies I turn off within 10 minutes of starting them. How could I possibly know which of these is the worst of those?
FWIW
Just watching the trailers convinced me to not even rent Alexander and Pearl Harbor

Well according to rotten tomatoes the worst reviewed movie of all time by far is "Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever" the 2002 action flick starring Antonia Banderas and Lucy Liu.
It claims that status because 102 professional critics all gave it a thumbs down... Not a single critic gave it a positive review.
This has never been achieved before or since for anywhere even remotely near 100+ reviewers.

Plenty of people liked Pearl Harbor. In fact loads of people did. Just because it had major historical innacuracies and an ill-conceived love triangle doesn't mean the average non-historically-obsessed movie goeor won't love it. At the very least its visual eye candy lifts it above being the worst movie of all time. Not even remotely saying its great but nowhere near the worst.

Well youhave to watch the entire movie to make a fair judgement.
"Deep Star Six" is my choice.
Horrible movie.

Now, doggie
Are you going to try to tell me that "Independence Day" was worse than "Pearl Harbor" or "Wind Talkers"?
At least there was a drunk to keep things some what entertaining in ID![:'(]
At this point what I am having a hard time with is which movie was worse, "Pearl Harbor" or "Wind Talkers". [&:]

I think Wind Talkers was utter tripe.
Besides, Battle of the Bulge was crap "with hindsight"...meaning when I first watched it I loved it...but being a little wiser, more knowledgable about the battle being portrayed as well as tactics makes me see it in a different light.
I don't think producers and directors have an excuse nowadays.
I also hated Pearl Harbor...but that's because I went to see it looking for a new Tora!Tora!Tora! with all the glory that CGI could offer to a remake of that classic...I was sorely disappointed. I've heard people say once they've watched it a second time, they liked it...I'd rather spoon my eyes out.

Off the top of my head:
Pulp Fiction - OMFG!! What a pile of dog doo doo that was. Awful film.
Troy - I couldn't get past halfway with this one. Terrible acting and the script was dire.
JD - I didn't notice your "list" until now!!!

It was a childish response to another child, but I kind of like it now. I can't see it growing much...I've been on here for 4 or more years and I've only met one.
And I LOVED Pulp Fiction. It was a legend of a film [&o]

I have to respectfully disagree here. This is one of my all time favorites. Great writing, and excellent soundtrack, numerous plot twists AND throw in Samuel L. Jackson as a "bad mo****f****r" and youve got a classic.

Yeah, I've seen that other list and had a good laugh at it. I must confess to agreeing with one of his though. It's someone who seems to be very good at arguing for the sake of it, ignoring responses and misquoting to score points. I'm not the only one who's had a run in with them either, so at least it's not just me [:)]
Everyone I know loved Pulp Fiction. And that's why I still wonder what I missed about the film. Oh well. I absolutely loved Lady in the Water by M. Night Shyamalan, yet it got slated in reviews and most of my friends hated it. Go figure!

So far, what I remember seen, Starcrash is worst. I didn't watch it to end though, becouse at the time I had better things to do.

I'd guess that's number 4 on the list, but I could be wrong... [;)]

I liked pulp fiction because it was different yet still accessible. Sometimes movies are so weird that I just lose interest.
I'd put wind talkers up there as one of the worst... what made it so bad for me was that it was trying to be a real war movie and that's what made it so much more pathetic.

I never really liked Good Morning Vietnam for some reason. Also, add Master and Commander: Far side of the world into this as well.

omg, Master and Commander may be the BEST movie in its genre, Why? The relationships between the officers, the junior officers men of the gun crews, and the MAster and sergion are developed in greeat detail, with a great score and riviting drama.. just to show U to each his own lol!!!
I especially like how real the scenes are as my house shakes under the subwoofers roar of cannon!

I think it was
too weird. I just didn't get the film at all and it never clicked with me.

Quite a few years ago "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" was voted worst movie of all time. Then again it is one of those movies that is so bad, it can be fun to watch.
