Severance?
It had the foundations to be a good little film but it kind of broke when they went down the ol' Hollywood horror path. Only found out after watching it that it was supposed to be a comedy too, ouch.
 
yes, hotfuzz has got to be one of the worst modern day torture tools, along with Bad Santa, reno 911 was bad too... hmmmmcan t think of more right now...
 
Chicago... and most stuff with Cathrine Zeta-Jones in it. She simply can't act, whenever I saw her in a movie I didn't see a character, I saw a person trying to be that character. I chose Chicago because I have never watched the Oscars again after she won one.

That Marie Antoinette film by Sophia Coppola was pretty bad too, a big disappointment after Lost in Translation.

Most "dogma"-films... just because it's boring it isn't art.
 
Any movie that begins with "Andy Warhol", especially Andy Warhol's Dracula and Andy Warhol's Frankenstein.

Mind you, as "The Abominable Dr Phibes" is my favorite movie, people rarely listen to my movie reviews. ;)
 
I can't believe the few of you that said 300, Saw, and Ocean's 12.

300 was a excellent movie. I'm thinking about going out and renting it now.

The first saw was the only good one. The rest were just to get some money. The film was made on a budget of what? 16k i think? I thought it was a very good suspense story. The ending made my mouth drop.

Ocean's 12 is my favorite of the Ocean's series. Ocean's 13 was horrible. The only part i liked was when they go down to mexico. Those parts get me every time.


For me the worst film i have ever seen was "The Happening". About half way thru the movie i really was convinced we were on hidden camera tv show.

I am no film critic but mother of God! To me it seems like the actors were trying to do their worst.

The best part of the movie was when that US Army MP guy shows up and sombody says "It's the Army! We're saved!". About half the audience started laughing.....We were at a movie theater not 1 mile away from Ft. Wood :p, guess it was a bunch of Marines.

We think alike. I think she's the reason The Terminal flopped: Tom Hanks already proved in Castaway that he's more than capable of carrying a film solely on his own, and with a backup actor like Stanley Tucci, the fake/silly/hip-woman/'Gee Ain't I Wonderful' attitude that Zeta-Jones brought to the movie was awful. I think she killed it.
 
Worst film I ever saw in theaters:

Freddy Got Fingered

Worst film of any kind I've seen:

Star Wars Holiday Special. It is literally no exaggeration to say that most porn films have better production values and writing than this colossal turd.
 
Mallrats and Analyze This were by far the worst films that I have ever seen. Analyze This was so bad that I stopped watching it halfway through.

Other favourites on my least-favourite list: Meet the Parents, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and Where the Heart Is. I refuse to watch Zoolander; the snippets that I've seen were plenty. I'm also very grateful that I no longer have a girlfriend who wants me to see Top Gun.
 
Normally I'm down for watching any movie even remotely associated with Steven Segal, so when they had an all day marathon of his movies you better believe I parked myself in front of a tv for 10 straight hours. It was all going great until "Out for a Kill" started playing... that is, without a doubt, the worst movie I've ever seen. Actually, it's in a 3-way tie with "Date Movie" and "Serving Sara". Of all the God-awful things humans have done to one another over the past 30,000 years, the production of these 3 movies holds a solid spot in the top 10.

Lets add one to your list that is even WORSE. Executive Decision - a movie so bad - Steve appears to have quit - as he was out of the movie he "starred in" about 7 minutes into the film.

Russel: "we're not gonna make it"
Steve: "you are"
Steve dies as the F117 rips off the passenger jet and disintegrates.
Oh the humanity.
:p
 
You guys can't be serious. Outside of Cool as Ice and the Hottie and the Nottie, nothing can come close to Battlefield Earth. It had cavemen become ace fighter pilots in 1,000 year old harrier jump jets after an hour or so of flight simulator training! It was so bad, the scientologists had roaming van loads of scientologists attend screenings to make it look more successful. It still bankrupted the production company. John Travolta described it as "like Star Wars, only better." Jon Stewart described it as "a cross between Star Wars and the smell of ass." It was released in 2000 and the NY Times wrote, "It may be a bit early to make such judgments, but Battlefield Earth may well turn out to be the worst movie of this century." It swept the Razzies that year winning 7 of them.

If some of you guys think the Matrix or Star Wars, or LOTR are the worst movies you've ever seen, then you're in for a rude awakening.
 
I'd have to go into serious contemplation to rank the worst I've seen.. but here are some that were major letdowns:

Wanted: only thing good were the special effects
Moulon Rouge: painful.. just painful
Terminator 3: I survived it...knowing that there might be redemption ahead with #4
Alien 3: Are you kidding me?
 
I can think of hundreds.

Lately:

Bourne Ultimatum. Whomever decided that using hand-held cameras for two F**King hours needs to be put in prison, then shot, then put back in prison. Almost threw up in the aisle. Twice.
It's the reason I refused to go to Cloverfield. But that's fine, heard it was trash anyway.

But of all time?
While movies like Plan 9 and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes are campy and kind of fun to watch, the all-time worst movie has to be "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians".
