Another list: http://filmsnobbery.com/filmsnobberys-25-worst-films-ever-made/

"...in a survey of 100 filmmakers, critics, historians and performers, the choice for the worst film of all time went to Tommy Wiseau's utterly astonishing 2003 production 'The Room.'"

Mostly the usual "so bad they're good" suspects.

This is one of the worst 'Worst Films" list I've ever read  :buggedout:

Glad to see people are now dumping on Titanic. What a massive turd. It should be dumped alongside the wreck of the actual ship.

Looks like the best thing I'll take away from this otherwise "meh" list is The Phynx. I need a turkey for Thanksgiving and this one is cheaper than a Butterball and easier to cook.
I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago.

I must give them credit for "Battlefield Earth", which was epically bad.

"Howard the Duck" was unfortunate, but definitely not worthy of a "worst 25 films ever" title.

I have never properly watched "The Blair Witch Project", but I don't see why it would make the list. It was innovative it its way, and certainly found an audience.

"Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" is superhumanly deserving, and should be higher on the list.

"Titanic"? Really? I don't like it, but why would it be on a list of the worst 25 movies ever made? Wouldn't one of the "Twilight" movies supersede it?

I actually liked Seven Years In Tibet.

We should make our own list.

Oh, yesss!


The only movie I can remember that I actually despised was the new Charlie's Angels. Caught it on TV, don't know which one, but I was watching it with morbid fascination like some people do with, say, train wrecks. So, that would be my nomination.

Before you see these lists you can guess at least half of what's going to be on them. Still interesting though. The one that's new to me here is Texas Night Train. Doesn't look very easy to get hold of though.

No Battleship, Prometheus, Leprechaun in Space or any of the Mortal Kombat movies?????

Nothing by Uwe Boll????

And these people call themselves film critics!

Leprechaun in Space was a great movie!

I watched The Phynx. Not sure how it made it on the list. I mean, it was stupid and goofy, but far from the worst thing I've seen. Hell, I had enough fun with it that I'm tempted to order the silly thing. Utterly politically incorrect, but with its tongue rammed fully in cheek.

I thought I was going choke when they showed the "super spy" groups in a theater and they had a group of Klansmen next to a group of Black Panthers.

javakoala - I saw it on TCM recently I thought it was really good. kind of like the Monkees with slightly better jokes and less "take us seriously as a group" attitude.

strongly agree with them on Swept Away that was awful and had a large budget and just should never have happened.

just off the top of my head "C Me Dance" is probably the worst movie I've ever seen just because it fails on so many levels and everyone involved seemed to just have no idea what they were doing. and do it in such a repellent manner

I don't get why Sssssss (1971) is on here...it's a medicore 70's sci/fi,monster movie. For stupider-NIGHT OF THE LEPUS (1974) or the GIANT SPIDER INVASION (1975) are much "worse". For more boring-RATTLERS (1976) or the BAT PEOPLE (1974).

I think it's how they try to make a horror scene out the actors screaming for no reason while the snakes just sort of sit there thinking their snake thoughts...

I would def agree Night of the Lepus should be there. Whenever the bunnies come on screen its just ridiculous.
