I nominate "The Strangers".  Gawd-awful piece of burning fecal matter dumped on humanity.  It should have been restricted to trailer trash and labeled as how-to film on how to treat your trailer trash kin.  At least it would have served a purpose.

Ozzymandias speaks: Babylon A.D.  I was confused from start to finish. It was on a double bill with Dark Knight, which I didn't like either, but Dark Knight made sense.

Ozzymandias has spoken!!!

Thought I'd give this a final bump in case anyone still wants to add something, then close nominations and create the final poll tomorrow.

There are a few titles I'm a little suprised are missing: THE DARK KNIGHT (I liked it a lot, but some here despise it) and AN AMERICAN CAROL (haven't seen it but it wasn't exactly popular in these parts).

So far the nominees for worst movie of 2008 are:

THE HAPPENING (dogget)
AVPR: ALIEN VS. PREDATOR - REQUIEM (dogget)
SAW V (Mr. Briggs)
LAKEVIEW TERRACE (Akiraturbo)
HOUSE (Akiraturbo)
BANGKOK DANGEROUS (Rat-Bat-Spider)
STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS (Akiraturbo)
FUNNY GAMES (Akiraturbo)
MEET DAVE (Anubis von Mojo)
INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (Anubis von Mojo)
WANTED (Circus Circus)
THE STRANGERS (Javakoala)
BABYLON A.D. (Ozzymandias)

Correction: I did not nominate Funny Games (whatever that is) or Clone Wars.

I liked Clone Wars.

I'm surprised TDK didn't make it, either.  Then again, I probably hate it more than anyone else here, and even I don't think it was the "worst" I saw in 2008.

I can see that most of the movies nominated here could very well be bad.  Thankfully, I caught the hint that they would be and avoided them as such.  The movie I wasn't able to escape, however, that I thought sucked more than Kirby at a food bank was Baby Mama.  Yes, I hated Baby Mama.  I usually don't mind Amy Poehler, though she can be very grating.  I found her performance too annoying to be funny.  I understand the annoyance was supposed to be part of her character, the annoyance factor greatly outweighed the comedy on her part.  On the other hand, you have Tina Fey, who damn near saved the movie, except that there were a few scenes where I thought she was going to nail a really good joke, and screwed up enough that it really didn't elevate the movie any higher. 

Still, I did chuckle pretty good when Poehler said, "Oh my god!  It feels like I'm s****ing a knife!"

Sorry, those were nominated by Rat-Bat-Spider.

Added BABY MAMA.  That was one of those movies I would never watch unless someone forced it on me.

The only movie I saw in 08 was Prince Caspian and I enjoyed it.

Same here. I don't mean it was the only film I saw last year in the theater. I saw 14 more, but I did enjoy it, as much, if not more than the first one. But there will not be a third, which would have been "The Voyage of the Dawn Trader." With costs approaching $200 million, it was decided that the movie would not have recouped the costs it takes to make it.

If its not too late I'd like to nominate The Day The Earth Stood Still based on the inclusion of an annoying brat that I wanted to punch through the screen.

Can I nominate Eagle Eye?
Stupid plot, bad acting, blatant ripoff of the Matrix, Enemy of the State, Wargames, the French Connection. The stupidest Evil Plan I've seen in a long time.
How many bad things can I say about this movie? It would take a whole 'nother thread.

One of the things that p**ses me off is when a movie has a big budget and great effects and is still a flying piece of crap. Look at Chronicles of Riddick.
Recently I saw a film called Mirror Mask. The cgi was amazing and really original in concept.
Unfortunately, the script stank from the bottom of the bowl and the acting was worse than anything in an Ed Wood movie.
Man, I hate that.

Good Gracious --
The script for Mirror Mask is by Neil Gaiman, one of the best writers of our time -- I didn't care much for it either, the first time I tried to watch it, but somehow the second time was the charm, as the script revealed some depth I'd missed the first time 'round.  Sometimes things are worth a second glance.  Also, I wonder if it's fair to be so critical of the acting, as there weren't that many human actors involved --

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
