I didn't think waterworld was that bad. It was more the fact that it cost $100 million back then and it wasn't that great.

How bad was WW???

They couldn't read the map because it was upside-down?? WTF!

If that is the case they deserved to die!

DISCLAIMER: This is how I remember the movie, and prodding will get me to watch it again.


EDIT: I have changed bad from gay, because I realised that comparing something as bad as WW to any group is nothing short of offensive

bah, almost nothing on this list is more than 15 years old. and most were simply disappointing or mildly crappy.

the true "winner" is obviously Manos, Hands of Fate.

These are the movies that I found most excruciating to watch. Spider Man 2 especially.

Now wait a second, showgirls is so bad it is good.

But yes, the NEW planet of the Apes really is the worst thing. I wanted to leave after 45 min and I have never wanted to do that before in my life.

The first 20 minutes of Troll 1 was bad enough so I can imagine.

But that's been MST3K'd, so therefore gains cachet.

I present to you Airborne starring Steve Guttenberg as an action hero in a flick that rips off "The Rock" and other flicks of the previous 2 years or so. Saw it for free with the director present and wanted my money back. Comments to the director after the showing ranged from "So, Julian, do you have a big bag of cliches that you just pull random ideas from and make a movie out of them?" to "Why did to kill the black guy first?" I know a place that has a used copy on DVD for sale, and I told the owner of the shop that he'll never ever sell it. Still there a year later

Can't believe nobody's mentioned this piece of crap yet. By far the worst movie ever in my opinion:

EYES WIDE SHUT

Too bad it was Kubrik's last because most of his other stuff is spectacular.

I admit to laughing out loud during the sex scene in the pool (Whee! I'm a human helicopter!), but there was a lot not to like in Showgirls.

I unfortunately made it to the end of Planet of the apes, and paid full price for the tickets.

I only left a movie early once, and that was at The Matrix when I just couldn't bear to sit through any more Keanu Reeves dialog.

You've *got* to be kidding here, right? For your sake, I hope so, cuz otherwise you missed one helluva trilogy. Moreover, that movie shouldn't even have its title mentioned in a thread like this...

Nope, not kidding, walked out half-way through. I rented the DVD later to watch the special effects. I know a lot of people love this movie, but I couldn't get past the dialog.

There's this 80's movie that's really horrible. I don't know the name, but it's about this red-headed kid who's head is mis-shapen (horse head) that looks absolutely ridiculous. He ends up falling in love with some blind girl at the end. I think I've seen it on TBS before.

I'll post the name when I think of it, unless anybody else knows what I'm talking about.
