What was the WORST movie you've ever seen?

If a DVD of The Piano enter my home, it would be automatically vaporised before it infected any of my collection.

Why?

Seriously. I ask because I'm afraid to watch The Piano again. I remember it with great fondness from when it first came out. I saw it in the cinema and thought it was great. Somehow over the years I never got round to watching any of Jane Campion's other films until In The Cut a couple of months ago - which I thought was the most godawful piece of pretentious crap I'd seen in years (I've probably railed against it somewhere on this thread but I'm too lazy to look.) I daren't watch The Piano again in case it is the most pretentious wank and it destroys the memory of my enjoyment of it.

I've been a H.G. Wells fan since I was a kid, and I had high hopes for this film, but those hopes were smashed to pieces by this hunk of fecal matter. I think even Mr Wells was spinning in his grave at 10,000 mph when this awful movie was released.

It was directed by Bert I. Gordon and starred Marjoe Gortner. You expected quality!?

As a young teen, I looked beyond Bert's name and eye-balled the cool looking movie poster. Plus the movie trailer was a short teaser with a great deal of hype, giant insects, super-sized chickens and huge hungry rats. Seemed cool at the time.

It was no worse than Shark Attack 3: Megalodon - A growling great white that can swallow a raft full of people and a guy on a jetski in one bite. I only saw hunks of the film, but that was enough to avoid this movie...forever.

The thrid one was called Little Fockers, and although I was pretty much against the first two (and also the third) it did make me chuckle a few times.

Is there a word for when you laugh at something you know you shouldn't and so you get annoyed with yourself for laughing, some kind of angry laugh?

If there is, it's bound to be German and have fifteen syllables.

Skyline was a particularly bad movie

Monsters (2011)

Avoid this boring and pointless space monster movie. A complete waste of time.

I find that when I see a really bad movie my mind dulls the memory for me so I dont have to be traumatized by it for long.
However, I have sat in school auditoriums where we had to watch certain "classic" films--so in terms of famous, I would have to say Godard's Weekend was the most unpleasant, and I had to see it twice.
Otherwise, the worst movie I have seen is probably Canadian. Night Zoo/Why Shoot the Teacher?/Deep Sleep or something by Atom Egoyan. If you want to be bored, depressed, annoyed, these will help you achieve that end.

Got to agree with Dude, Where's My Car and the new King Kong, the latter scoring extra points for being incredibly expensive and STILL rubbish.
But I'm going to go with the Keanu Reeves remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. Incoherent, dull and an insult to one of the most significant movies of my childhood.

You have my deepest sympathy. Once was enough for me.

I'd even say ESPECIALLY bad movie on that one.

MacGrubber gets a lot of points from me. My Gods was it dull for a comedy flick.
The new The Thing was pretty...meh. Watched it a few days ago...I distinctly remember one scene only from it, and it's about as creepy as the film manages to get, with no expense spared for effects.

For me the worst was the Blair Witch Project. The only positive was I'd gone with a blind friend and it didn't need as much audio description as most movies do.

As Good As Dead (1995) It's a TV movie, but it has the greatest/worst (depending on how much you like bad films) but definitely cheesiest "gun on the mantelpiece" ending of all time, ever. And you won't see it coming, nobody with any sense/intelligence/experience of the world, will.

You have to watch it yourself it's that bad, I won't give no spoilers as to what it is, but needless to say you will be laughing A LOT when it happens, even though it is not even remotely a comedy and you have had to sit through the worst film ever to get there, but it is worth it for that ending. I don't believe in the ends justifying the means, but in this case the ends justify the 90 minutes of twaddle before it. Plus it's got Judge Reinhold in, and I will watch just about anything with Judge Reinhold in.

If that doesn't qualify, and I have to pick a theatrical release, then the re-make version of the Ring 2 is the worst film.

But forget that, and forget what else you were planning to do today, you all MUST watch As Good As Dead as soon as is humanly possible. It's worth it just for how much you will laugh at the ending, you'll thank me for it afterwards it's that unintentionally funny, and you will NEVER forget it.

NOTE - Don't just watch the ending though, it's not funny just dumb-looking if you do that, and the 90 minute build up is worth it for a punchline that good.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979)

Theatrical version of the TV pilot...what were they thinking?

It was just so awful and very lame, completely uninteresting. I wanted to blast Twiki the robot with a laser pistol when I finished watching this movie.

Fortunately I didn't see the movie on the big screen, I rented it long ago on VHS for a buck. I heard it was bad, but I thought, "How bad could it be?" Then I found out. I saw this film only once.

To think that Mel Blanc had fallen to this level.... Ye gods!!!
