The stupidest movie ever!

[Barendd Nobeard]

I'm really surprised not to see Plan 9 From Outer Space on that list. It's regarded by many as the worst film ever made.

I own it on DVD (it's in the "so bad you have to see it" category) and I have to agree. WOW it's bad. My favorite bit is the cops who gesture constantly with their loaded guns, including scratching their heads with the barrels...

But people only call P9fOS the "worst film ever" because it was so named in the book "The Golden Turkeys" (which mentions a lot of bad films). There are even worse films by Ed Wood (the schlockmeister behind P9fOS), like "Night of the Ghoul" or "The Sinister Urge."

I love P9fOS, though--it was the first DVD I bought. You're right about the cops pointing with their guns--that's hysterical. I also love the tombstone that springs back up after someone knocks it down. And the snappy dialogue can't be beat. "Because all you of Earth are IDIOTS!"

I once had a student doing a scene from P9fOS at a speech tournament in "Dramatic Interpretation" - he made the finals (and beat someone, placing 5th out of 6 finalists), and was quite mortified by doing that even that "well" with that selection.

And, of course, there are movies far worse than P9fOS from other directors. "At Long Last Love" from Peter Bogdonavich, for example. Or "Bonfire of the Vanities" from Brian DePalma (he should stick to ripping off Hitchcock).

My vote for worst movie--so bad I wish I hadn't wasted my time on it (and for me, one really bad bit can make a horrible movie worth it, so it's pretty hard for me to pick one that didn't even have 3 seconds worth watching) would have to be "Chronicles of Riddick." I tried to watch it, I really did. But after 20 minutes, my brain took over and forced my hand to press 'stop' on the remote. Remember, I own "Plan 9 from Outer Space" on DVD. I can watch anything. I also own "Bluebeard" (starring Richard Burton and Joey Heatherton) and "Satan's Cheerleaders" (starring, uh, well, no one really, but Yvonne DeCarlo (from "The Munsters") is in it) on dvd. But I could not stomach "Chronicles of Riddick" at all. Sorry, Vin.

I forgot about Highlander 2... why'd ya'll have to dreg up bad memories???

still, the Renegade version did at least get rid of all that crap about planet zeist or whatever planet they came up with...and did away with a couple of other scenes and added in a few that made it tolerable compared to Street Fighter.

Oh, the headache just started.

I liked the Matrix trilogy, but no matter how they ended the trilogy, it was a disspointment because of how good the first movie was, and they just could not live up to the first movie's success.

I'm glad I've never seen Scarlet Letter.

I'll also agree that Spawn was just a horrible movie. I want a remake with McFarlen working on the script AND story AND special effects and it should be rated R, not the PG13 crap we were given. Some of the special effects were okay, but oh my god they went overboard on one liners. At least Clown was done right. Right?

But now that I think of it, "Super Mario Bros." is even worse. Wow. Not bad enough to be enjoyable. I hope everyone involved enjoyed the drugs the ingested when signing up for that turkey. It's the only explanation for why anyone would sign up to be in it.

Tank Girl was the first movie I walked out of for being so abysmally bad.

I've simply stopped seeing movies featuring Ben Affleck as his presence seems to scream "this is will be garbage".

Star Wars Episode II was also pretty bad except that the special effects were so good in the set pieces that it's probably not fair to label it one of the worst movies ever.

> Dungeons and Dragons was better than tDAT.

No way. That simply impossible. I've not seen tDAT, but that movie can't be as bad as the DND movie. How do you sink lower than the bottom?

>Go see Dark City. You will have to scratch out TDAT.

Huh!? Have to TOTALLY disagree. Dark City was a great movie.

Now I love camp bad movies that are fun to watch.

Sorceress: ah yes, that was a bad movie, but fun to watch. It still has one of my favorite movie lines.

Dude, Where's My Car: Wrongly advertised as a teen ciomedy. It realy is a sci-fi spoof. And a good one to boot. I introduced several people to this movie and they all liked it.

If you've ever seen Out for a Kill, you'd know that is the stupidest movie ever.

Let me just say this: Steven Seagal. In a fake mullet.

As an archaeologist. In a leather trenchcoat. Am I right?

Yep. That's it. I'm glad I saw that for free, or I'd be in therapy now.

Even though I do agree with the opinion that "Transylvania 6-5000" was quite awful, I'd have to say that the absolute worst movie I've ever seen was "The Doom Generation" (a Greg Araki picture). Don't get me wrong--watching Rose McGowan run around topless does wonders for me--but the insipid, trite, let's-quote-the-Cocteau-Twins screenplay completely negates said naughtiness by drowning it in absolute crap. A worthless, worthless movie.

And I've seen plenty of bad movies; believe me.

Matrix 2 & 3, especially 3. That one's far worse than Highlander 2, and that's a really, really bad movie!

Matrix 3 is my vote for the worst movie of all time!

You are trying to aggravate us all, don't you?
