worst movies ever!

Fantasy Mission Force

This sounds like the kind of movie everyone has to have in their collection of DVDs just to brag on but never watch.

Totally worst movie - any WW2 John Wayne movie,

Have you ever seen "Singing Sandy"? Movie starts with a very young John Wayne riding his horse playing a guitar and singing a cowboy song. A guy comes stumbleing out of the brush on to the trail and falls over in the middel of the trail (can't swear to it But I think he had a knife in his back). The Duke gets off his horse walks over to the guy and asks "Are ya hurt?"

For me, I don't count movies that are undoubtedly awful, but end up being so hilariously bad they're entertaining (eg Battlefield Earth, Extreme Ops, 99% of ninja movies ever made).

So, for me, immediately coming to mind are...Pearl Harbor, Batman & Robin, Independence Day, the Hollywood Godzilla flick and Bandits (I hated the fact the 2 guys spent the movie fighting over the whiny, screaming harpy.)

Flash Gordon is up there.

Flash Gordon was a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the comic strip, radio show, and tv show that originally inspired the movie. Camp at its best. I think some folks took it a little too seriously.

And Max Von Sydow as Ming the Merciless was awesomely cartoonish over-the-top evil. Almost as good as his character in Strange Brew.

There's a fine line between kitsch and crap. I think that film went way, way, way over that line.

Anything with Adam Sandler.

Nothing can be worse than an Italian trash movie titled: "A werewolf against Mafia"

You obviously haven't seen Turkish Star Wars then.

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'm with you 100% on that movie. Crank up the Denon recviever with 5.1 on and let the subwoofer shake the floor ! Great movie with the sounds cranked way up.

I liked Flash Gordon, it was a tongue and cheek film with some great one liners!

Worse file, I agree that the Thin Red Line is one of them, but the file that I walked out of after on 5 minutes was National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1, it was garbage!

[JudgeDredd]

Oh...that's on telly at the weekend, but I'll doubt I'll be watching.

Curse of Bigfoot (1976).
A ridiculously sloppy pastiche of film from different decades and genres, all cobbled together into a barely coherent narrative about a back-from-the-dead Bigfoot mummy, or something. There are remnants of a half-finished, early '60s horror film combined with '70s high school classroom footage, along with stock Hollywood wildlife footage from all different climates and decades, and what appears to be an industrial logging film. Bigfoot himself looks like a fifth-grader's papier mâché project... Anyway, some creep lectures a class of '70s high schoolers about how -- extended flashback here -- in the early '60s a teacher and teenage archaelogy students find a Bigfoot mummy in a Southwestern cave. The Bigfoot mummy comes to life and attacks a sheriff in an orange grove, then the teens douse Bigfoot with gasoline and set him ablaze. The end

Easily the worst movie I've ever seen. Should never be viewed alone but worth a watch with friends and libation.

Worst movies ever?

Thin Red Line
Wind Talkers
Pearl Harbor
The Eagle Has Landed (Larry Hagman's character - awful)
Napolean Dynamite
E.T.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
2001 A Space Odyssey

All those are bad, but the worst movie I've ever seen was the movie sequel to Gilligan's Island (Return to Gilligans Island, Escape from Gilligan's Island, or something like that).

Edited to add other incredibly bad movies:
Dances With Wolves (Paternaski's post reminded me of this one - I hate it)
Cold Mountain
Water World
Soylent Green
I Dismember Mama

[ilovestrategy]

The worst I can think of right now is MegaForce. Canoerebel, I agree with ya on ET.

[06 Maestro]

I'm not changing my vote for MegaForce, but there is another that must be mentioned. It may have been a Steven King film, the "Langoliers". there were a couple of decent actors, but the movey was off cue and just plain dumb.

[E19A]

you guys are missing Hitch HIkers Guide. Hollywood should not redo Brit comedy!!!
 

[ezzler]

Spaceballs

Any movie where people jump from height and go ' WHHHOOOOOAAAAA' [ basically lethal weapon 1-4 ]

[Jevhaddah]

'The Money Pit' With Tom hanks and wossname woman from Cheers... Absolutely dire and I sat thru the whole thing, but was safely intoxicated by the end of the film sooo my sanity was partialy protected. [:D]

Worst movie: Bad Taste, its so bad in everything, acting, props, Camera mistakes, you name it, that it in the end actually makes me giggle hystericly
 
Most boring movie: Solaris
 
Anything with Chuck Norris would have a spot on my worst list.

[Marauders]

The worst movie I ever saw in a theater: Deadly Friend.  My friend liked campy horror flicks, so we went, but it was pure crap!
 
The film Ed Wood was really bad, as are the Batman films done by Tim Burton.
 
Star Wars, The Phantom Menace made me want to kill Jar Jar and strangle whom ever casted Jake Lloyd as Anakin Skywalker.  I am not sure it would have made that much a difference, as the film was poorly written and directed by George "let's change Star Wars into Roger Rabbit" Lucas.
 
As for Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 1941, those are classic films.  The DVD edit of 1941 isn't as good as the original film.  The added scenes should have stayed on the cutting room floor.
 
Master and Commander?  In my opinion, it is a great film with a very good script and superb acting.

[Canoerebel]

Some other nominations for bad films:
 
Day of the Dolphin (starring George C. Scott) - I doubt anybody remembers this movie; my mother was an extra, and when we went to see it we were the only people in the theater).
 
Ice Station Zebra - Great book, lousy movie.
 
The second and third Jurassic Park movies.

2001 is only the most realistic Sci Fi movie ever made. Script written
by the best Sci Fi author alive. Arthur C. Clarke. Yes, it might not appeal
to those who think Teddy Bears(aka Star Wars) has anything to do with Sci Fi.

Some perspectives
IMDB Rating 8.4/10 (rated no 80 best movie in history).

Same with Thin Red Line. 7.4
Making both these among the top tier rated movies in general.

Dances with Wolves 7.9/10
