My friends and I love movies, probably too much. In fact, a good majority of our conversations will, at some point, come back to movies, or movie references, or something like that. So, as you can imagine, when we found this, it was really exciting.
TV and movie blog Videogum recently launched a series entitled "The Hunt For the Worst Movie of All Time." Each week, one of their editors will watch a movie and tear it apart, showcasing the most ridiculous clips for the world to see.
However, what makes their bit interesting is that instead of simply picking movies like Battlefield Earth, Baby Geniuses, or Gigli, they also take on movies that aren't universally-considered awful, like Best Picture-winner Crash (which, I agree is unbelievably overrated/not that great, but worst movie EVER seems like a stretch).
I think right now, my pick for the worst movie that they've done would have to be The Number 23 or Dreamcatcher, but that's just me.
Note: the movies advertised in the Lohan/Simpson posters are technically disqualified, as Lindsay's flick isn't out yet, and Jessica's went straight to video. I just found them hilarious.
In order to keep this organized, Videogum did set up some ground rules:
*It cannot be intentionally horrible. *It must have at least one A or B-list movie star in it (no "outsider art.") *It cannot be Glitter. *It has to have had a theatrical release.
I also happen to think the remake of The Wicker Man should be disqualified, simply because this montage makes it overqualified:
With these in mind, Mancouchers and Mancouchettes, what would you say is the worst movie of all time?
Any sort of stupid scary comedy. They're all equally bad.
Senseless, with one of the Wayans Bros, is the absolute worst movie I have ever seen, hands down. And this is coming from someone who's seen Spiceworld. (What? I was 12.)
Borat..... Everyone made this big hype about it and then it was like the worst movie EVER...
And now they're coming out with Bruno, which looks even dumber than Borat...
@beforedawn@xanga - YES! Actually no, because it's so hilarious that it's somewhat... bearable.
As for the Wicker Man Montage above..... WHAT?!
and worst movie ever... I'll give it to Michael Brainless and Shia LeDoof in their latest failpiece and complete ruin of the Transformers name. It's basically a combination of a hard-on for the military, HOLY PLOT HOLES BATMAN, and stupid americans (the main cast of characters) with some Transformers in there so he could use the title. That and Decepticles.
Class of Nuke 'Em High. I watched the whole damn thing, because my ex wouldn't let me take a nap. By the end of the movie I was staring blankly into the TV screen, trying to understand how a movie so stupid could possibly have been released.
Twilight, no questions asked.
I watched Epic Movie and nearly clawed my eyes out mourning the loss of two hours of my life.
Trick or Treat. You would think a movie that has Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons would be awesome. Alas, it was not. Horribly bad 80's movie FTL.
Also, I have found that the reason people do not like the Wicker man is because they did not understand it. It is actually a great suspense movie.
Revolutionary Road! Saw it last night, the movie had no point at all!
Pulp Fiction. Granted, that may be my personal opinion. I also vote for Vanilla Sky.
The Godfather: Part III was pretty horrendous.
OOooo then there was The Forbidden Kingdom. And I like cheesy kung-fu flicks!
I really hated Ghost Rider. I was dejected when I left the theatre realizing I had spent money on that lack of creativity and talent. Oh, and every Segal film.
MST3K fans know the answer to this, of course: "Manos, the Hands of Fate."
Or "Monster a Go-Go."
Or "The Wild World of Batwoman."
Or "Hobgoblins."
Or.... This may be harder than I thought.
The original Casino Royalle... the one from the sixties.
@Pass_the_Aura@xanga - MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE. hands down. absolutely the worst.Â
Or... Hong Kong Fuey.... :-|
"Teenagers From Outer Space". Man that movie sucked so bad that it was comical XD
@ringostarr102185@xanga - The fact that you nominated Pulp Fiction disqualifies you from ever commenting about movies...ever.
Please people, let's not forget the masterpiece that was Howard The Duck. Think that was bad, I got a few more:
I Know Who Killed Me (Lindsay Lohan) Freddy Got Fingered (Tom Green) The Batman Franchise AFTER Michael Keaton and Before Christian Bale. The Santa Clause
Oh my, I could go on and on.
Anything with Paris Hilton
The Fantastic Four was pretty painful. But Silent Hill might take the cake. Most pointless movie I've ever seen.

Napolean Dynamite.
Plan 9 from Outer Space
is a 1959science fiction/horror film written, produced, and directed by Edward D. Wood, Jr. The film features Gregory Walcott, Mona McKinnon, Tor Johnson and Maila "Vampira" Nurmi. The film also claims to posthumously star Bela Lugosi through use of footage of the actor shot by Wood just before Lugosi's death in 1956
Borat and the upcoming Bruno.

@ringostarr102185@xanga - Disagree on Pulp Fiction but I'll back you up on Vanilla Sky.
