What is the worst movie you ever watched?

When I was about 15 I stopped watching Blade Runner after about an hour, because I found it the most boring thing ever. Watched it again at about 30 and thoroughly enjoyed it.
While it wasn't the worst movie for me, I do remember having to see The Birds, the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock film, for class over 20 years ago when I was in high school. I thought the movie was a complete slog that made me question my own taste considering it was made by the supposedly legendary Alfred Hitchcock. I thought for years that I was just too young to "get" his style of directing.
Fast forward to half a year ago, and my girlfriend decided to watch it herself because she found it on a list of legendary horror movies. Since she loves the genre, she thought this would be up her alley. Instead, she dropped the film halfway through.

Phone booth. Absolutely awful movie.
Reservoir Dogs. Left the cinema after about 30 minutes.
Most of the Marvel films. Just no original ideas.
Every remake. Name one that’s better than its predecessor.

I don’t know how often it would work, and the theater did balk at giving us a refund, but I persistently argued my case and they eventually did.
Like I said, it’s the only movie I’ve ever asked for a refund on so who knows if I could do it again.
1963ish, I was 10, loved it, because when birds change from benign background, to deadly threat, it shocked me.. Probably 15 when I saw Psycho (1960), loved it, shocked. Most Hitchcock movies I love.
if you think phone booth is bad, you havent watched a lot of movies or your choice of movies is always top class.
I try to be selective. But I’ve been watching films for decades. Mostly on TV for the last few years. I don’t like the cinema.
I know that Alfred Hitchcock is revered by some, but I cannot abide most of his movies (with the possible exception of Rebecca, which was excellent and which - like The Birds, a movie that I deeply disliked - was based on a book by Daphne du Maurier).1963ish, I was 10, loved it, because when birds change from benign background, to deadly threat, it shocked me..

I have seen so many bad movies over the decades, these being movies that went straight to VHS or to DVD but there are 3 movies movies that I can remember the names of that I considered to be extremely bad and they are:
The Happy Times Murders - Melissa McCarthy and bunch of puppets
Zombie Cheerleaders
Blades of Glory - An ice skating movie with Will Ferrell and Jon Heder

LOL wut? I love ice skating (watching as I can barely stand myself) but Will Ferrell??? I don't mind comedies but this sounds like a dumpster fire and it seems you agree. Sorry you watched it and the others.
I tend to erase bad films from my memory. I know I got bored with MCU and most remakes (Star Trek at the top) are not worth my time.
I like Ice skating movies too hence why I saw that movie (rented it on DVD) but oh man what a mistake that was.
See for me, The Shawshank Redemption, and the OP's choice, Wimbledon, were movies I thoroughly enjoyed. I guess that's good, that we all have differing tastes, as long as well all accept that in each other.

This must be a troll post because both of those movies are considered by movie critics to be two of the best movies ever made.
I don't accept anyone likes The Shawshank Redemption or The Good, the bad and the Ugly.
