Worst movie ever made?

[TC]

Yup...I think you mean Mr. Nanny.  That movie was godawful.  I never caught either of his other movies - Suburban Commando or Santa With Muscles.

Then there is Heaven's Gate which, IIRC, caused a movie studio to go under.  Now that's a bad movie.  I haven't seen it, so I can't say just how bad it was.

I watched Heaven's Gate and I had to stop becaue I couldn't follow it. It's a mess alright. But mentioning HG reminded me of another Michael Cimino(sp) disaster: Desperate Hours, with Mickey Rourke, Anthony Hopkins and Mimi rogers. REALLY BAD! Lindsey Crouse, who plays the chief FBI officer or something like that, gives the weirdest performance ever put on screen. It's simply odd.

I think that this might be "The Deathhead Virgin."  The IMDB entry shows a different box cover than I remember - it had a woman in front of a waterfall and it was dark, so all you could really see was her outline.

You couldn't follow Cimino's "Heaven's gate"? Hope it was the short version, because in the four hour version, the problem is exactly the oppossite, that nothing at all happens for hours. I have to say I liked it. Somehow watching a beautifully shot film where nothing happened at all felt strangely refreshing at the moment.

My personal pick here would be "Missing in action II" or "Missing in action III".

Several anime titles come to mind.

Beautifully said, wonderfully put - no better explaination of why I enjoy funky little cheap slasher movies or cyborg movies, or Kaiju movies with spunk and heart (or at least competence) over stuff that is, well, overproduced and rather bland.

Town and Country?

Thanks :)

Or, which to my horror was showing on Sci-fi last night:

DUNE

This movie should be exhibit one on how not to adapt long and complex (and quite frankly, self-important , with visions of grandiosity) books into movies.

Any movie with Hulk Hogan was plain terrible! Actually so are most wrestling matches involving him too. There is one I saw with him and Shannon Tweed a while ago. Thunder Mountain or some other stupid name like that but it was a dodgy action movie. Hated that!

One film that I have to say I hated with a passion was Jeepers Creepers. That movie was the biggest waste of my time! I've enjoyed dental surgery more!Pearl Harbour too!

OK ater careful consideration...
1. Sextette
2. Nukie
3. Follow that rainbow

2 and 3 are VERY obscure and hard to find.  Even Brad Grintners blood freak (funny) took a backseat to these two.   THey are both South African Productions BTW.  Furthermore Nukie was supposed to be the breakthrough hit for an up and coming suth effrican director  ewe ewe ewe

The worst movie ever made was called "The Worm Eaters" and it was directed/starring/written by Herb Robbins. I found it in the bargain bin at the video store thinking it might be funny.
I was wrong.
Runners up include "Manos," "Battlefield Earth," every other movie on MST3K, and "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (yes, I realize it's a cliche, but it just plain sucks.)

[Scott]

Yes, I forgot about WORM EATERS. It does belong along side BATTLEFIELD EARTH. WORM EATERS is not even funny, just plain stupid. If anyone wants to trade for this film I am willing. I have the DVD.

[paulita]

the worst film ever made? of course "she" is so bad that i really love it, so bizarre that u cant belive that someone has did something like that

[Bubba]

You have the DVD? Holy crap! How brave! I threw out the bargain basement video I got right after I watched it. Lordy, after "Worm Eaters" I thought I'd need therapy!
