Dragonslayer still has the best looking dragon to this day, IMHO. When that thing was crawling around the tunnels, it looked REAL. Well it did to me back then anyway. 
Excalibur, although not really authentic to the story in so many ways, is still awesome. Loved Merlin. Loved the clunky armor. I have it on VHS and just recently learned you can get the DVD for around $10! Sign me up.

I have it on DVD, and it's nice (and the picture's great). While you're right that it's not even close to authentic with regards to weapons and particularly armor, the truth is that there are so many different versions of the Arthurian mythos, the only thing it was truly unfaithful to was a particular version, such as Le' Morte de Arthur.
And besides, shiny platemail just looks cool.

Worst fantasy? Probably some little thing from Scandinavia that MST3K did, called "Jack Frost." The title character was only in the last 15 minutes of the movie!
As for Sci Fi ... hmmm ... Probably "It Conquered the World." This was so bad that Frank Zappa once mentioned that you could see the 2x4 that they used to make the monster wiggle in one scene....

I’m not sure if anyone has posted this link, but it ought to make for a disturbing trip down memory lane in any case.

What! I loved Jack Frost! It was bad, but it was bad in an entertaining way!The Whiner Knight said:
Also, I may have been too hasty with Howard the Duck, as I got several complaints about it being nominated. But any movie that takes place in Cleveland with the "California Academy of Science" clearly visible at the museum earns my emnity.
It's really the second worst sci-fi film I've ever seen. Invasion of the Neptune Men was worse. In a Japanese sci-fi movie, one tiny-panted omnipotent child is bad enough. This one had five of 'em!
Demiurge out.
Batman & Robin.
By God.....what were they THINKING? Why is Bane a lobotomised moron in a wrestling mask? Who decided having Poison Ivy do a striptease from a pink gorilla costume was a good way to introduce the character? Why does this movie have Thurman, Clooney & Silverstone in it and still suck? Why does Batman carry an anti-freeze ray just in case he ever happens to meet a villain who uses ice as a weapon? Why are there rubber nipples?
I can laugh at just about anything, but that one just....traumatised me.
Second is 'Electra'. It stars Shannon Tweed, which should already be a warning. This one was mesmerising in it's sheer nafness. The plot, such as it is, centres around this lovable lunkhead who gets these pills that give him superhuman powers such as running in slo-mo, and tying knots at superhuman speed. He's hunted by two rubber-clad woman, led by his stepmom. Some highlights:
The scene where a van is escaping which the hero wants to stop for some reason. He runs after it with his superhuman speed. Hero running in slo-mo, with muscles bouncing. Driver of van looks in mirror and looks horrified. Repeat about five times, then the hero nudges the van and knocks it over.
The fight between the two henchwomen and the love interest. There is absolutely no way I can do this fight scene justice. They certainly move with a great amount of vigour, and appear hostile towards each other, but there's no way what they're doing could be described as fighting.
Third is "Armageddon" It was a good action movie on the whole, but there was too much SHOUTING AT HIGH VOLUMES, gratuitous jingoism (enough with the flags in every important shot!) and explosions whenever the plot thretened to lag, usally combined with more SHOUTING AT HIGH VOLUMES! Like a whole string of climaxes with no build up to any of them.
Edit: Oh yes, try this. http://www.rinkworks.com/badmovie/ Have a look at the reader reviews, especially 'Zone Troopers' and 'Jack Frost'.

But luckily, I've never seen it.
See, one of my friends did, and he saw me the next day. He said he felt so dirty, he felt like he needed to take a shower. He felt THAT violated. And some still say that the edit released in Europe made it a much better film. As I like to say "Two times crap is still crap."
