OT: Worst movie of all time

Kmoney said:
It's playing on TCM this month. Last Friday night they did a 90 minute script read of the movie and then followed with the movie. One of the details of the movie was Boris Karloff died before filming started so they used his wife's chiropractor as a fill in. He played a zombie vampire so he covered his face with his robe. Also, the main female zombie vampire, that looked like Elvira, had a freakishly small waist. It felt like she should split in half at any second.

Good points. One correction though, I believe it was Bela Lugosi who died before production and not Boris Karloff. Both of them were endearing creeps though.
 
Allison Krause defined this song as "sort of a cross between a lullaby and a field holler. i loved the movie, incidentally.

Wow. A lot of you have no idea what an actual bad movie is as opposed to not liking a movie or being disappointed by a movie. For example, Manos: The Hands of Fate is a terrible movie.

As I pointed out, I mostly played them when managing movie theatres, I largely didn't watch them.

I did watch Eraserhead when I was working the art house and I defy anyone to explain how it is a "good" movie. Cult classic, maybe. Women singing in radiators (when you could see what was on the screen), no.

In any case, I have another candidate - C.H.U.D., that would be Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. And there was a C.H.U.D. II, also. A close 2nd to the movie mentioned earlier for folks abandoning the theatre, often requesting their money back.

Yes, I do, however, agree that some of the folks are going by personal reaction. Even I listed one that is just that I didn't like it. However, the sci fi movies I have indicated are, in my opinion, actually bad.

Howard the Duck didn’t last 5 minutes and walked out ..
Killer Klowns from outer space should have known better
As much as I like Bruce Willis movies Hudson Hawk was terrible ..
And Dude where’s my car should have been dude where’s my money I paid for this crap ..

FWIW, I was meh on my initial viewing. Liked it very much 2nd time around.

I generally feel that way about all Coen Brothers movies - but I loved Oh Brother on the first viewing.

Wasn't a huge fan of Lebowski the first time, but I have become one after the 27th viewing.

Totally agree with this statement. There are a bunch of quality movies that are listed on this thread that I don't think belong here. There are quality movies that I don't care for, but just because I don't care for them doesn't necessarily make them bad films.
Expand ...
Your comment has merit, however the thread asked for the worst movie, not critics choices, quality made or have any other qualifiers included. Up to the interpretation of everyone, which means no right or wrong answer. A good thing, we have a large number of films listed, we have a large number of differences on the worst film. We have some fun, lastly to me if I have, and I do a worst film I also consider it a bad film.
 
I hereby nominate Caddyshack II. Absolutely nothing that made the first one so much fun was retained for this awful movie. Actually, the same is true of the recent Coming 2 America.

For me it’s Ted too. Haha,
Went with my friend 20 years older than me.
We were movie buddies b/c my hubby prefers to watch the movies at home! He hates popcorn smell. Didn’t bother him when we were dating!! Anywho, I should have researched it more...,.....stayed 20 minutes,we left and went to have root beer floats! We WERE mortified!
 
Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey

Wow. I love that movie. I'm sure I can think of dozens of movies infinitely worse than that. To each their own though.

Currently at the end of the 8 perfect movies thread. While I disagree with the list in some cases I feel confident that there will be many more entries in the worst movie of all time. list your worst three or just the one movie that really made you want to scream because it was so bad.
I have a list of 8 but the all time worst movie for me was one I walked out on "The Hitch Hikers Guide To the Galaxy." Still have a hard time believing I sat through more than half of it.
Expand ...
Agree, many I am sure are worse, however I was lucky enough to completely avoid them. I may have picked H. Hickers because it had history, successful comic books, press coverage and reviews that didn't suck, most important my wife had read a few articles and reviews and was hot to see it, so while I had reservations I went to enhance our wedded bliss. After 30 minutes half the audience had up and left. I had watched every one of them leave with a heavy dose of envy, 10-15 minutes later wife looked at me and asked if I liked the flick, unable or unwilling to answer she said, I think it's junk, let's get outahere. We still laugh about the experience, the only laughs we were able to get out of it.
In retrospect maybe we should have gone to see something else, if I remember correctly they were showing an oldie at the time "I am Curious Yellow" another cinematic classic.

I'm with you Bama, and Kaizen. I'll throw in another hypnotic song from "Brother...", by my favorite Bluegrass group, The Cox Family. "I am Weary Let Me Rest" Suzanne Cox has one of the most beautiful voices anywhere. I am weary let me rest

That is quite a moving song. i am not a religious man, but some of the songs on the soundtrack move my spirit.

We really ought to have specific categories and specific criteria here, although offhand I can't think what they might be. One might be "big budget highly promoted". In that category i would like to nominate "Gremlins". I watched it to the bitter end, only because the woman I was with didn't want to leave. But I remember standing outside watching people leaving the theater laughing and smiling, and thinking "what the hell is wrong with these folks!" That was one bad movie!!

I loved Gremlins. I will acknowledge that I have an offbeat sense of humor. This is definitely dark comedy.

The most disappointing film I watched recently starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. It was an adaptation of a Shakespeare play. I normally don't try towatch bad movies. That is particularly the case when I am watching for Films Worth Viewing, If I come across a bad one, I just don't write a comment. The film in question is "The taming of the Shrew." It was the shortest comment I've written. I read a lot of reviews on IMdB by professionals and film lovers. It surprised to find out how many viewers have found "the worst film ever made .Of course they don't agree..

If I remember correctly, they divorced soon after making that movie together. A case of life imitating art.
 
Lady in the Water and The Happening were pretty awful as well. Glad M. Night has rebounded since.

The rotting corpse in the chimney story was different level hilarity.

This is not on the soundtrack but I hope that this will also move your spirit, as it does mine:
 
not a movie person but for comedy and so-called classics, but as a youngster, i too was excited (manipulated?) to see batman, even tho batman meant nothing to me, and i don't like any movie swathed in darkness, whether imagery or plot.
20 minutes in, im like 'this really blows.' i felt like ralphie:
 
“Portnoy’s Complaint”, “The Silver Chalice”, “The Great Gatsby”, “Jaws 3”, “Somebody Killed Her Husband”, or most movies with John Travolta or George Segal.
 
On a call last night with my ole HS best friend, talking old times and as often happens we were talking in old movie quotes when from no where we hit on a movie so bad, so pathetic that I had buried it so deep in my mind that I was shocked that we both remembered it as being without peer as the worst movie of the late 60's or early 70's "I am Curious Yellow".
