OT: Worst movie of all time

I love John Candy, but he had a pair I couldn't get through 15 minutes of... Canadian Bacon and Wagon's East.

Ok, maybe not the worst of all time, but The American Beauty won the Oscar and I hated it. There wasn’t a single character, good or bad, I could identify with and I wanted them all to die to put themselves out of their misery.

As Mark Twain remarked about "The Deerslayer", you "hated the good people in it, were indifferent to the others and wanted them all to get drowned together!", right?

That was the whole idea. ALL the characters were reprehensible. Annette Benning's and Kevin Spacey's characters deserved each other. I loved that movie.

I think that the worst movie by far (acknowledged by many) is "Plan Nine from Outer Space". If you can find it, see it! So bad it's funny...maybe. An Ed Wood special, it has to beat them all.

I was hoping someone would nominate Plan 9. I was channel surfing the other night and happened to pause on TCM and heard that the next movie coming up had that rep. I figured that something that bad had to be worth watching. I managed to get through about half of it. its reputation was well earned. There are 'movies so bad they are good". This was not one of them.

So did a lot of people. For me, if I want all the characters to screw off, it doesn’t work. I know several other people who hated it. It was also a virtual theft of a Sigourney Weaver flick called “The Ice Storm” set in Connecticut during a true big ice storm. The characters, like those in The American Beauty, including the kids, were all miserable. Not my idea of entertainment. I need to identify with at least one character, hero or villain. Had to love Rickman in Die Hard.

On the general idea of horrible movies, if you’ve never played the game Balderdash, there is a category of actual movie titles you have to make up what you think was the story line. It’s a miracle if anyone has actually heard of any of them and I’d guess they all rank with the worst of the worst.
 
The one I hate is Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Ugly and unfunny and an insult to the use of "Once Upon a Time In".

The Three Amigos. I remember going to the movies with friends to see this. We couldn't drive yet... so my mother dropped us off and picked us up. In retrospect.. I have NO idea why we chose to see it. I need to apologize to my mother for wasting gas driving us.

What did you find endearing about Alan Rickman in Did Hard?
Was it his appetite for the Bearer Bonds?
Or his wanton destruction of Nakatomi Plaza?
 
The Ridiculous 6 (2015), like the name, ridiculous, again another Adam Sandler movie.
Six bizarre and diverse strangers in the Wild West discover that they all share the same father.

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.

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

Not really sure about worst movie ever, but probably anything directed by Uwe Boll would be in the running.
 
Someone told me this movie wasn't horrible, but I disagreed. The Spirit starring Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, and Eva Mendes. An absolutely horrible movie.

I still think Sigourney Weaver should have had an Oscar nomination for that movie.

Oh man, gotta strongly but respectfully disagree. That movie is brilliant, retelling the Odyssey in the social context of the American South around the great depression. And the soundtrack won the Grammy for best album, to boot, something no movie since the Bodyguard has accomplished!I "I'll fly away, fly away, oh, Glory, I'll fly away..."

From Justin to Kelly comes to mind as one of the worst conceived, worst executed, misuses of actual talent I've ever seen on the screen. That the principals were all required by contract to participate in it before there was even a plot or script is suggestive of just how little the quality mattered.

Criteria on a personal rather than artistic level would have to be any movie I walked out or wished I could have walked out of before the end because every character was so repulsive that I could not stand spending another minute with them other than wishing that they would all die. Further, the directing made it an even worse experience. Royal Tenebaums, Heredity, and Uncut Gems are among those I wish I could forget.

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.

Roger Ebert I’m not. I do like this song though.
