I just finished watching Troll 2, which is if I'm not mistaken, the no.2 worst movie of all time according to imdb. I feel that is gravely innaccurate as while it is cheezy*, there's got to be more to bad cinema then this.
What would be the worst film/film list according to you?(Try to stick to the truly godawful)
I haven't seen as many bad movies as I'd like to, but I'd probably have to answer Warrior of The Wasteland.
*Most advised MST: Am I acting... corny?
Encino Man
two words-pauly shore
dont know if thats my all-time worst,but its the worst I was ever "forced" to go and see
to go and see at a theater I meant
My standard answer is always Bad Magic, an SOV feature from the ever-inept Polonia Brothers.
If we raise the bar to shot-on-film, it has to be A.P.E.X.. An ironic title, one supposes -- a more accurate one would be "N.A.D.I.R."

I got a few for you:
Batman and Robin
Mortal Kombat 2: Annialation
Power Rangers The Movie
Power Rangers Turbo (even worse)
Any G-rated snore fest.
More to come.
If you're looking for a revelation in badness,
try flicks that combine sci-fi/horror with
soft pornography. Virtual Girl and The Killer
Eye, to name a couple, are astonishingly bad.
Also look for something called "Mindfield",
where the lead char. mumbles all the time,
the plot is incomprehensible, and the action
(not to mention acting) is non-existent...
Great fun!
After reading this, I've got to watch the Killer Eye. It's been in my pile of bad movies to watch for a while, but it's it's that bad, I gotta see it tonight. I picked up a used copy of the Director's Cut for $3.00 a few months back along with Uncle Sam, Jack Frost, Blood Dolls, Bad Moon and a few others at the local video store trying to thin out it's stock.
A couple of my favorites are Incredible Melting Man (MST3Ked or not, it's still hilarious with the lead running around and announcing "I'm Dr. Ted Nelson" every ten minutes) and Elves (With Dan "Grizzly Adams" Hargarty).
I can watch Time Chasers or Space Mutiny or Reptilicus or even The Creeping Terror with its missing soundtrack, over and over again. I can even manage to wait through turds like Hobgoblins if they're MSTified and come with commercial breaks-- but I just cannot sit through three solid minutes of Overdrawn at the Memory Bank without peeing with rage and clawing at my eyes.
That pretty much says it all for me.
Oh, you'll love Uncle Sam and Jack Frost...
both entertainingly bad movies in their own
right. I actually liked Bad Moon, and
Overdrawn ATMB (what can I say... I have
strange tastes)
Squishy... peeing with rage? That sounds
rather painful...
I believe it's called "bladder hostility."
If you can find the novel Willard (basis for the movie, of course), I highly recommend it. It is written in the form of "Ratman's" personal journal, and he makes some bizarre observations that couldn't be put in the movie--for example, how Willard and Ben urinate and/or defecate at each other when facing off for battle. Eewwwwwwww. Not everything that makes the book a fun cheap read is about excrement, of course. I'm just feeling scatological tonight. :P

...that should be "Socrates and Ben urinate and/or defecate at each other" not "Willard and Ben." Oh, man, that WOULD be gross...

Yup, those are the two out of the pile that I had seen even before I got those bargain tapes.
One thing about Uncle Sam that I've never seen mentioned anywhere, but I seemed to have picked up, is a bit of dialog between the mother and the aunt and the boy (all of whom I don't find noteworthy enough to remember names). Am I just reading something into the scene or what? The way the sister is talking about what a horrible scumbag her brother was seems as if she is talking about some sort of incestuous rape instead of just mental, physical or emotional abuse . Anybody else get this interpetation?
I got that interpetation loud and clear Law Dog loud and clear this is one mess up movie that glamorize men who like to abuse people even after death for fun.
One movie comes to mind as one of The Worst Film Ever is called Sex Monster starring Mariel (Bad Moon) Hemingway and directed and co- starring Mike Binder that's the guy who got a new show on HBO this fall about in minds of men or something like that. Anyway I flip on HBO one late night and saw this movie what a mistake I made of watching this load of s**t . It's all about this guy who put the male human species on the endanger species list even more by having a menage-a-trois with his wife and another woman it turn out great at first but then ALL HELL BROKE LOSE!!! The wife became a sex monster by giving great oral sex to women than he can. Every women come to her, his friend's wives, his business partner's wife, and even his secretary get into the act. After I saw this film it gave me second thoughts about having a threesome with my wife when I get married. Now I have to everybody beware of this film it really F**K UP YOUR MIND!!!
The wife became a sex monster by giving great oral sex to women ...
Pop culture legend has it that only a woman truly knows how to satisfy a woman...
If you are looking for painful bad and not worth the lost time, then the worst movie I've seen is The Bachelor. I saw that one in a theater with some girlfriends who liked it, so I paid money to see it and was trapped in the room by rules of social decorum.
... but somehow I doubt that you are seeking boredom...
For a nice fun watchable kind of bad I would have to say She directed by Avi Nesher is a great choice. The plot involves 3 travelers wandering into a new land in some sort of post apocalyptic scenario. The land is divided into territories with a ruling god or goddess. One of the travelers gets shanghaied and sold to a distant god so the other two travelers go off with the local goddess (Conan's girl) to find the missing girl.
Their travels take them to some really really trippy deities, including a scientist and his henchman who is a 300+ man in a pink tutu and combat boots.
This film claimed to be based on the H Rider Haggard novel in the credit, but other than having a blond chick as a main character there don't seem to be any similarities. I'm pretty sure Nesher took drugs in the prop room and built the plot of the movie around those experiences.
That is a bad movie worth finding. It comes on TBS occasionally at around 2:30 in the morning.
Seriously, check out She
To Chadzilla also in Pop Culture Legend men also knows how to satisfy a woman but that part disapeared since in the middle of the 60's .
I just watched the unrated version of The Killer Eye and I think I've gone blind. Wowee, that was rotten. I didn't mind seeing that Playboy woman or the other one naked, but those two drug addicts kinda creeped me out.
Could this movie have been any worse?

Having also had the mispleasure of seeing this movie, I'm going to say probably not. In fact, the number of truly awful films that Full Moon is responsible for scares me. Just watch "The Lurking Fear" and tell me that Mr. Combs wasn't completely wasted.
On the flip side, they do hit their mark fairly well at times. "Castle Freak" and "Oblivion" are films with much entertainment value.

I defy anybody to watch it and tell me it's not the most awful flick ever made. It was written and directed by a rather famous Italian director named Pier Paolo Passolini. A couple years ago I got fooled into watching it on a dare with my step-brother and a couple of his friends.
Four men of power in Nazi Northern Italy, apparently seeing the end of their power at hand, decide to have one last fling in a remote villa. Before getting started, however, they get their thugs to round up 18 lads and lasses in their late teens. Two aged madams then tell revolting stories to the accompanyment of pleasent piano music until the mood takes the old codgers who then do things to the kids that really don't need to be discussed. All of this is filmed in shockingly realistic (?!) fashion. By the end, few youngsters are left. The end.
IT WAS AWFUL!
It was an unspeakable freak of horror. Every vile, dreadful, hidious thing imaginable is done to these teens. This will sound like mere hyperbole, but I actually had to run out of the room and pitch at one point. I missed the last 30 minutes because I just couldn't take it anymore and hid in the bathroom. I guess they kill the people in the end.
But the thing about this movie was that it was well directed, had excellent cinematography, great sound, real actors (European '70s actors, so I didn't know them), and a sizable budget.
My point is: DON'T SEE THIS ONE.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes must still be hurting in my mind because it was the champ of the worst movie ever made until Plan 9 took the belt, (dis)honorable mention however, does go out to Hulk Hogan in No Holds Barred...
Could this be our winner? I only knew of Passolini from a brief mention in Monty Python's Flying Circus, but check out the little details at the IMDb listing for Salo; one reviewer calls it an anti-fascist masterpiece," Leonard Maltin ranks it a "BOMB," the plot description details something called "the circle of sh*t," and under the "alternate versions" tab you can see how controversial this mess is. The UK is debating whether or not it can be released uncut today--the same country that gave us Mr. Creosote in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life!!!!
This could be the movie that Pearl Forrester and her son were looking for all those years. Picture Mike, Joel, and the 'bots taking this on and not coming away with serious scars.
Well, I have to vote for "Attack of the Eye Creatures" or maybe it was just "The Eye Creatures". I think it may have had a budget of $1.98.
