1. Scary Movie sucked, but it's fuckin Kubrick compared to Titanic.
I could only stand to watch the first hour, or so. I felt sooooooo dirty afterwards.

2. Uh, "Megaforce." Starring Barry Bostwick.
I remember looking forward to it as a kid (yes, I was a geek and read "Fangoria" and "Starlog."). When I saw it, I almost cried. It was just a bunch of stuntmen riding around in the desert on 125cc bikes shooting Estes rockets at each other. What a load of crap!

3. Jerry McGuire
Hated it. Sure, there are worse movies. BUT I'm choosing one that had no excuse. Big Budget. Big Stars. STUPID MOVIE. (and I like Rene Zellwinger so it's not that).
Any movie that stoops to the "running through the airport" scene loses major points.
Then there's the stupefying "You had me at hello" scene.
Oh, Baby! Treat me badly! I'm just a pathetic little doormat!
Hate, hate, hate the predictability, boring script, and vapid characters.

27. THANK YOU
I despised that crappy yupster movie with its totally meaningless "message" (don't whore yourself out to make big bucks for others, whore yourself out to make big bucks for yourself)

Show me the money - NOT FUNNY

You had me at hello - cute, but not enough to sustain a whole film

the moppet - annoyingly precious

tom cruise - lubricated plastic cockroach with really nice teeth.

Hate that movie!

4. Gods and Generals
It has to be seen to be believed. The director took the book and added about five tons of drawing room Victorian claptrap. Then he added a few slaves who were very pleased to serve the cause of white supremacy. Amazing it ever got made.

5. I strongly dislike Romantic Comedies.
Neither of these are in that genre, but both are terrible. Titanic gets the vote on this one.

6. As for worst movie, I said it before, and I'll say it again:
Remember the Titans.

God-AWFUL acting, God-AWFUL storyline, God-AWFUL plot, God-AWFUL dialogue, God-AWFUL fucking EVERYTHING. I just wanted to run up to the screen and TEAR that little girl's (daughter of one of the coaches) FACE off during the film.

I was also chuckling to myself during the flick, cause I couldn't BELIEVE the unrealistic piece of shit dialogue and acting. Denzel Washington's WORST movie. Any other actor/actress in that film: Their WORST movie.

I later found out it was a Disney movie. And if I would've found out beforehand, I would NEVER have gone to see it.

7. gotta agree with you...
I did a lot of substitute teaching last year, and that POS was a favorite left behind to keep the kiddies entertained. God, it leaves no cliche untouched. Most of the time, Denzel can rise above mediocre material, but not with that wretched thing.

26. But "Plan Nine" TRANSCENDED badness
It went so far off the "bad" scale that it somehow looped around and became a classic. Sort of like what "Reefer Madness" did.

10. So many to choose from
Plan 9 From Outer Space is with out question the worst movie of all time. But Ed Or Edna is a close second.Both by the worst film maker ever Ed Wood. Then there is Attack of the Killer Tomatos. Them, about giant ants. Of course one always has to include Heavens Gate, Reds, and Isthar among the all time worst.I hesitate to include Paint Your Wagon just in case some one here actually liked hearing Lee Marvin sing. Of course any Bowery Boys film should be included. There are just so very many deliciously attrotious films to choose from after all we have had films for over 100 years now and just think of how many truly bad films that can be made in 100 years

11. No one's ever seen "Yor: The Hunter of the Future," huh?
The opening scene showed telephone poles in what was supposed to be a prehistoric landscape. Prehistoric birds swooped overhead with a twenty foot wingspan then somehow shrunk when attacking humans. It had the most memorable line from a movie I've ever heard. The hero, named Yor, was chained up, and orders his captors "Either you kill me, or you set me free. Now." I got chill bumps, knowing other people were watching this poor actor at his most embarassing moment.

Actually, I loved Titanic. But then again, my expectations were irreperably lowered by Yor.

12. Soylent Green
We need an apology from Charleton Heston. But, he probably thought it was a good movie.

13. I KNOW!
People have nothing but praise for that shit-ball, but man, it was the worst movie I've ever seen.

That is until I saw "The Animal"

THAT is the WORST movie I have ever seen.

After I saw it, I said, "that's two hours of my life I can never ever have back."

I have never seen a movie that made me feel that way.

EVER

30. The movie was vastly overrated and overhyped, I think,
and James Cameron's antics made him come off as the arrogant SOB that he undoubtedly is, but I did like Ms Winslet rather enormously. Leonardo pretty much made me gag, though, and his anachronistic pandering-to-the-Americans character was more irritating than interesting.

They should've ditched or downplayed the love story, maybe. I don't know.....though if they had then we perhaps wouldn't have been treated to the titanic sight of Ms Winslet's mammalian apparatus, and that would be a true tragedy.

17. Don't forget the bunnies movie!
"Night Of The Lepus."

Horror movie made during the 1970's about giant rabbits that escape from a lab, (gee, now there's an original idea,) and go around eating people until they are lured on to electrified railroad tracks and a HUGE plate of hassenpfeffer is cooked up.

DeForest Kelly was in that one.
(Yes, Bones.)

And it had THE funniest line unintentionally in a movie.

A cop yells to a group of people, "There's a bunch of killer rabbits heading this way!"

20. Titanic.
It was so stupid. There were people back in '97 who saw it like 10 times because they thought it was great. And they thought it was fuckin' hilarious when James Cameroon said he was king of the world.

21. No Battlefield Earth? No Kangaroo Jack?
Those two are tied in my book for the top spot. Plan Nine From Outer Space is Citizen Kane compared to those two movies, ESPECIALLY Kangaroo Jack.

28. 90% of the people ttrashing it haven't seen it.
I have, and it's a typical sci-fi clunker. No better or worse than any of the other dreck on the sci-fi channel.

I detedted no overt Scientology nonsense, and the acting was typical.

Not a really good flick, but hardly one of the worst either.

I understand there's a horror farce out now called "Monsturd" about a monster made of shit that lives in the sewers. Now that has GOT to stink.

23. Scary Movie wasn't supposed to be a drama
Just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't.

I thought it was pretty funny personally. Touched on all the horror movie cliches in an amusing manner.

Scary Movie II was damn funny too. Chris Elliot and David Cross were hilarious in it.

35. Forrest Gump
Three of four hours of you life lost down a CGI moneyhole. I think even the box of chocolates was digital. A litany of shrimp dishes, running back and forth across the US and the invention of "Shit Happens"?
This celebration of low potential high achievers prepared America for the Bush Administration.
