Is Santa Claus Conquers the Martians the worst film ever made?
I couldn't help it, I saw a copy on DVD in Half Price Books and bought it. It's bad, but campy--and if you have had a few drinks and have some friends over I think you could really have a good time watching it.

1. Even better-MST3K's take on it!
Their version of Santa Claus vs. the MArtians is one of their funniest!

...for sheer awfulness, MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE beats everything I've ever seen!

18. Agree. But Torgo's performance was Oscar worthy.

21. Ahh, the haunting Torgo theme...
Who can forget such a sublime melody? "I watch the. House. For the Master. While. He's. Away?"

A toss-up between that one, "Manos: The Hands of Fate" and "Eegah!" for the holy trinity of Really Bad Films.

11. You never saw "THE APPLE"
Worst Movie of all time. Golan/Globus 1980 film with songs by George Clinton. Their film had the whole world dancing to Disco music, really bad!

12. Plan 9 From Outer Space is considered the gold standard
though I think it has an amusing charm. Manos is so bad that it's even hard to watch on MST3K

13. No, it didn't have Bruce Willis or Burt Reynolds in it
I actually LOVE that movie. It's hilarious. Bad movies are ones that leave you pissed off and ripped off. I refused to see it, but Freddy Got Fingered HAS to be at or very near the top.

I'll go with DC 9-11 since Santa Conquers the Martians is more realistic than that sham of an account of Shrub's "courage". Bleh. Rp

I just got back from the store where I bought a collection of 50 sci-fi movies and that one is on it. Man it has more cheese than Hickory Farms.

17. I bought one of those Bucket-O-SciFi dvd collections
50 staggeringly bad sci-fi movies including SCCtM. Watched them all! It was easily the best movie on there.

20. You clearly have not seen Orgy of the Dead
Ed Wood film. Man, its not even a good titty film. It basically consists of atrocious dancing by topless girls with commentary by some cheap ass looking monsters.

24. It's certainly the worst Christmas film ever made!
But I must agree with other posters..."Plan 9 from Outer Space" Is, hands down...THE worst film ever.

25. No---Manos: Hands of Fate was (no joke)
Manos: Hands of Fate is not only the worst film ever shown on MST3k/ but it is quite possibly the worst film ever, I mean ever, made.
