Worst Movie You Paid to See?

What is the worst movie you paid to see in a theater?

Now, some might think that The Quick and the Dead is unbeatable int he catagory worst movie and I did pay to see that one hungover afternoon, but actually the worst movie I have ever paid to see was Highlander II which was truly abyssmal. It was amazingly bad, so bad I couldn't believe it had been made and that the actors were willing to go through with it.

The worst film I ever paid to see was Hard Rock Zombies. I went to see it when I was about 15 in theaters. Only film that came close to topping it had to be Jurassic Park : The Lost World. I remember reading the book and when I saw the film, the second half resembled more like Carnasaur than the novel. I actually got up and walked out of the theater and got a refund.

Starsky and Hutch.

Probably "Lost In Space" back in 1998. Very bland indeed.

The Wedding Date
Sex & The City

These are all movies that my wife and I didn't plan on seeing, we were just out looking for something to do and that was what was available:

Oliver's Story (very bad sequel to Love Story)
Dumb and Dumber (Do I hate every Jim Carrey thing I've ever seen? Hmm... yes, yes I do)
The Mask (See above)
Must Like Dogs
The Class (Entre les Murs) (Just saw this one on V day. Prompted my comment in the "Random Thoughts" thread about how French cinema is getting weird).
Clue

However, Clue has kind of grown on me after that first watching and I've enjoyed rewatching it several times. Probably the shooting of the singing telegraph girl and the "flames... forehead..." speech of Madeline Kahn are my favorite moments.

Oh, and one I saw by myself that I regretted paying money for: The Rock

Funny thing is I've never been so disgusted that I walk out of a movie. I guess it's like that old joke: "The food in this restaurant is terrible, just terrible." "Yes, and the portions are too small."

JAWS: THE REVENGE

No doubt.

Oh... this is a hard choice... most movies I see are winners, but the worst had to be The Hulk. I didn't like it at all. Now, regarding what was my worst movie I bought that was on DVD or VHS... would you settle for a Top 10 List? Just kidding...

Jurassic Park. Hated it. I was oddly fine with it for the first hour, but the last half sent me into a tailspin of rage that was so great that I refused to leave simply because they weren't gonna get ANY of my admission fee for free.

Other than that, Godzilla 1985. I actually walked out of that one after my friend/date slept through most of it. She woke up and mumbled, "Is this damned thing still going?" Godzilla was attacking the city and the heroes were watching from the 30th floor of some building. Godzilla wiped out most of the building before they decided it might be a good idea to leave. I said out loud, "If these idiots try to use the elevator, I've had it!" They ran straight for the elevator. I walked out and my friend/date shouted, "Yippee! Bye, stupid movie!"

#1...and I doubt anything will ever take it's place...

The worst part about it...I was NOT on a date...I wasn't with anyone...I saw this on my own free will without a promise of easy action with an emotional chick. I completely ignored all other films playing that day so I could see this film. There was no value to five dollars that day.

Honorable mentions;
Sweet Home Alabama (I was on a date this time)
American Pie 2 (ditto)
Star Wars Prequels (but looking back it was probably unavoidable)
Dantes Peak (but it was worth it, my friend and I made fun of the whole thing)
