Least watchable movie?

Many movies have been called "The Worst Film of All Time."

Many of those movies are actually entertaining, in their own way.

The world's worst movie shouldn't be entertaining.  I want to know what movies are so bad they cannot be considered entertaining under any circumstances; I want to know of an essentially unwatchable movie.

Any suggestions?

Two that come to mind are:

* DUNE (1984) - I never wanted to get out of a movie theater so bad as when I went to see this boring mess.

* WIRED (1989) - I actually had a headache by the end of this movie.

The Sinful Dwarf (1973) is so tasteless and ugly that I had to fast forward through a lot of it. But hey, other people might like it. Weird people.

I have two in mind:

Disaster Movie: It's a film so devoded of humor and most importantly, entertainment, that the movie becomes unbearable, pain inducing (I got a headache from watching it), and intolerable to sit through.

After Last Season: While certianly has many moments that can be riffable, the excruciating slow pace and the fact that nothing is happening in the film makes this near impossible to watch without wanting to give up a quarter of the way into it.

The never ending cliche ride of Independance Day, the dog jumping to safety in the tunnel explosion did it for me. And that was on video!

Pretty much anything released after 1989 sucks if you ask me. I can watch Maniac (1980) a million times, but it's the big budget newer movies that I find truly offensive in their mediocrity.

Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

I have one: Murder by Television, a 30's "thriller".

At the beginning of the movie a TV company asks Bela Lugosi to steal a new invention by a noted Television inventor he works for.  The inventor makes a broadcast, winds up dead, and then...nothing really happens. Everyone wanders around the house for awhile, until someone kills Lugosi's character.  Then Lugosi steps into the room, tells everyone that the dead guy was his evil twin, and proceeds to explain what happened to the inventor.  Apparently someone added a new part to his television camera, which produced a ray of a particular frequency,"which is the death ray." To activate the devic,e someone called their office, which caused a rube golberg machine to work, which started the ray. Dumb, Dumb and dull.

These are a few very unenjoyable experiences that come to mind:

-Zombie Strippers
-Nightmare on Elm Street part 2
-Love me if You Dare
-Every Scary Movie film and the others of its kind (Epic Movie etc.)

Andy Warhol's SLEEP and EMPIRE. Wouldn't watch them on a dare, and they weren't intended to be watchable.

I love part 1 and 4, but hate The Toxic Avenger Part 2 and 3. Even the creator Lloyd Kaufman agrees.

DARK FIELDS (2006)-Dam-this movie is stupid,amatuerish, ultra low budget trash. Which doesn't make a movie unwatchable to me-what is unforgivable is it's mindnumbly BORING. Dull beyond dull. Some kids in a car break down,get stranded at an old farm-where some guy with a bad wig offs them in unimaginative ways. Of course it's a direct to video piece of s**t-and even though I got it for free,I still feel cheated.
