I still say that CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN is the absolute worst movie of any kind ever made.  If you haven't seen it, be prepared to suffer.  It's worse than PLAN 9, MANOS or anything else I have ever seen.  (At least those movies are fun/funny.  CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN is just bad and dull).  The reason I watched it is because it is on a DVD double feature with CARNIVAL OF BLOOD.  I always wanted to see CARNIVAL OF BLOOD because the review of it in "The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film" says, "I dare anybody to stay awake through CARNIVAL OF BLOOD."  This always made me curious about how bad/boring this movie could be.  Well, it is bad and boring, but CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN (by the same director) is at least 100 times worse.  You have been warned.

Gotta go with Night of Horror. This movie is incredible, because it keeps finding new ways to bore you: a dull love story told mainly through narration, a positively Manosian driving sequence, a looooooong monologue (from one fixed camera angle) by a Confederate ghost who talks like the Central Scrutinizer from Frank Zappa's "Joe's Garage," and, most astoundingly of all, a ten-minute "flashback" consisting of silent footage of a Civil War reenactment accompanied by a mellow country song. Oh, and somehow, this thing has at least two different printings on video.

And while it's already been mentioned, Troll 2 bears repeating. Every bit the train wreck that Plan 9 was, and you don't even have the advantage of insight to the director's mind, like you do with Wood.

Raiders of the living dead - A great guide on how not to make a movie and why your movie shouldnt have a theme song. This is one of those so bad its sort of funny films, you will be questioning the main characters actions throughout the entire film. Not to mention the first ten minutes of the film is utterly pointless and it seems like the budget couldnt afford to have speaking actors.

Armaggedon - Do I need to explain? Why did they have machineguns on the asteroid? Wouldnt it have been easier to train astronauts how to operate a drill than to train drillers to be astronauts?

The 1st movie that came to my mind was Save the Last Dance, LoL.

CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN  sucks indeed!  I felt ripped off after buying that dvd- it looked so promising with Carnival of Blood but they were both awful! Something Weird Video dissapointed me big time.

I'm going to put my usual vote for "Millenium" with Kris Kristofferson.  It was a terrible film experience.  
Mentally, I tend to separate my movies into categories like:
1) "Blockbusters that SHOULD be good but suck" like the American Godzilla and many of the movies listed here.   Maybe fun, but usually leave you feeling letdown.
2) "Genuine bad movies, but fun" e.g the entire Ed Wood Catalog, most Kaiju films, etc.  This is my #1 favorite category.  I'll do anything to watch these.
3) Terrifyingly bad movies that others seem to love- Anything with Adam Sandler., most "comedies" , any Tom Green material., etc.  I'd pull out my own liver rather than watch them.  
There are others, but I ramble on.

It's actually "Tomcat: dangerous desires" starring Richard grieco.
