In your opinions what is the worst movie on the face of the planet? Not just in one specific genre, but the worst movie all together.

Personally, the worst movie to me is Catwoman. That movie was just terrible, horrible beginning, awful adaption, either way a Catwoman adaption was going to suck, no matter who directed it. Also, did you know that the directors name is Pitof. He also worked on Alien Resurrection.

You took the image right out of my mind:

Though here's another more recent contender:

Open Water, hands down for me.  Even seeing the girl's naked boobs couldn't redeem this incredibly boring, utter garbage of a film.

Plan 9 from outer space.

Charlie and the Chocolate factory (fuck you Johnny Depp)

Oh come on...how can you put Manos: The Hands of Fate into this category, considering it paved the way for one of the finest MST3K episodes of all time?

I've never seen the movie I'm about to name, but based purely on the star, the premise, and the title I'd have to throw "Glitter" into the ring.  Seriously, Mariah Carey, the only reason people might want to see you in a movie is if you've fallen to the depths of Skinemax.

I almost hate to even mention it, because doing so makes me throw up in my mouth a little.



I've seen a lot of the great bad movies, Plan 9, Santa Clause Conquers the Martians, Cannibal Holocaust (which I love), and each of them has something to enjoy, even if it is just the sheer insanity of the thing.  But this movie is a souless piece of ostrich shit that not even a dung beetle would come near.  Now only did the director have his head up his ass, but he thought his colon smelled like daisies. 

When it comes to Showgirls, on the bright side, during the pool sex scene we got a solid glimpse of what epileptic sex is like.

I think it's usually implicit in discussions like this one that we're talking about moderately mainstream stuff with which other people in the thread are going to be familiar. Otherwise I could bang a guitar over my head, trot over to the Second-Worst Band Of All Time thread, and then claim I'm it because I just recorded my first song and boy was it a piece of shit!

Anyway, I almost want to agree about Battlefield Earth. It garnered the kinds of reviews where the critic was clearly leafing through a thesaurus with glee, angrily generating synonyms for "poop" and "terrible." I remember Time magazine calling it the worst movie in living memory.

I've got to go with Alone in the Dark though. I was trying to describe this movie after I'd seen it, and I just kept getting angry that a great many people were paid to be involved in the making of this film and that they were all, every single one of them, so criminally talentless in its execution. The San Francisco Chronicle put it best: "so mind-blowingly horrible that it teeters on the edge of cinematic immortality."

This was soul-witheringly bad.

How we managed to go from this to this in just over 100 years is terrifying.

I'll just leave it at that because going any deeper will make me lament the fall of civilization.

Hey now, there's no need to differentiate between a movie you personally dislike and the worst movie ever. Everybody knows they're the same thing!
