Avoid this boring and pointless space monster movie. A complete waste of time.

I find that when I see a really bad movie my mind dulls the memory for me so I dont have to be traumatized by it for long.
However, I have sat in school auditoriums where we had to watch certain "classic" films--so in terms of famous, I would have to say Godard's Weekend was the most unpleasant, and I had to see it twice.
Otherwise, the worst movie I have seen is probably Canadian. Night Zoo/Why Shoot the Teacher?/Deep Sleep or something by Atom Egoyan. If you want to be bored, depressed, annoyed, these will help you achieve that end.

Got to agree with Dude, Where's My Car and the new King Kong, the latter scoring extra points for being incredibly expensive and STILL rubbish.
But I'm going to go with the Keanu Reeves remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. Incoherent, dull and an insult to one of the most significant movies of my childhood.

You have my deepest sympathy. Once was enough for me.

I'd even say ESPECIALLY bad movie on that one.
MacGrubber gets a lot of points from me. My Gods was it dull for a comedy flick.
The new The Thing was pretty...meh. Watched it a few days ago...I distinctly remember one scene only from it, and it's about as creepy as the film manages to get, with no expense spared for effects.

For me the worst was the Blair Witch Project. The only positive was I'd gone with a blind friend and it didn't need as much audio description as most movies do.

As Good As Dead (1995) It's a TV movie, but it has the greatest/worst (depending on how much you like bad films) but definitely cheesiest "gun on the mantelpiece" ending of all time, ever. And you won't see it coming, nobody with any sense/intelligence/experience of the world, will.
You have to watch it yourself it's that bad, I won't give no spoilers as to what it is, but needless to say you will be laughing A LOT when it happens, even though it is not even remotely a comedy and you have had to sit through the worst film ever to get there, but it is worth it for that ending. I don't believe in the ends justifying the means, but in this case the ends justify the 90 minutes of twaddle before it. Plus it's got Judge Reinhold in, and I will watch just about anything with Judge Reinhold in.
If that doesn't qualify, and I have to pick a theatrical release, then the re-make version of the Ring 2 is the worst film.
But forget that, and forget what else you were planning to do today, you all MUST watch As Good As Dead as soon as is humanly possible. It's worth it just for how much you will laugh at the ending, you'll thank me for it afterwards it's that unintentionally funny, and you will NEVER forget it.
NOTE - Don't just watch the ending though, it's not funny just dumb-looking if you do that, and the 90 minute build up is worth it for a punchline that good.

Theatrical version of the TV pilot...what were they thinking?
It was just so awful and very lame, completely uninteresting. I wanted to blast Twiki the robot with a laser pistol when I finished watching this movie.
Fortunately I didn't see the movie on the big screen, I rented it long ago on VHS for a buck. I heard it was bad, but I thought, "How bad could it be?" Then I found out. I saw this film only once.

To think that Mel Blanc had fallen to this level.... Ye gods!!!
Someone was telling me about this The Human Centipede film which I don't ever want to see. It just sounds sick.
My son made me watch Wanted the other day. It was bad, very bad! Imagine if you can, a mash-up of the Matrix with the Fast and Furious. He told me to keep watching for the final twist. I jokingly guessed it would be an Empire Strikes Back moment but I wasn't wrong. It was so predictably bad. Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman always play exactly the same parts, but I thought James McAvoy was actually very good in The Last King of Scotland so my view of him has been reduced considerably.
But the worst film must be Morons from Outer Space. It is atrocious. What was Mike Hodges thinking? And it is easily the worst mistake Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones ever made.

I'm just gonna go say that when a film uses a gimmick such as curving bullets by flicking the hand really hard (or whatever), you can expect things to get really **** in the end.
Which is a tad too bad, since the comic book wasn't bad. It was actually quite entertaining, once you got over the absurd level of gore and violence.

Skyline. Absolutely no story.

Lilmizflashything: I couldn't agree more, but I'd say pointless more than actually bad, and somehow that's worse...

The general consensus is that Skyline is terrible, but to be honest, I liked it. I'm sure there are much, much worse movies out there.

Save your sanity and avoid that film at all costs. I found it too disturbing to finish watching (I fast forward through it). I enjoy a good horror film, but this one, Eee-yuck! Trust me, don't see it!
I can't believe a sequel was made as well...argh...

I don't think you guys are plumbing the depths. I just had a quick read through this thread and most of the films suggested are at least in focus and had scripts. If you want to really see some bad films I would suggest you go see:
Zombie Women of Satan (2009)
'Highlights' include a nude female wheelchair-bound zombie squirting acid from her nipples and a prolonged sequence in which we watch a dwarf crapping in the woods. A very long sequence. We get to see the steaming pile at the end too. Zombie Women of Satan fails at everything. It's not funny, it's not scary, it's not sexy, it's not even dreadful. It's nothing. It's the sort of cinematic farting that comes from people watching a couple of Simon Pegg's films, thinking, "I can do that!" and then proving they can't.
Kannibal (2001) What I learned from watching this film: Shooting out on location guerilla style; out on a London street say, (guerilla style because you have no permissions to be filming on the streets); shooting brief insert panning shots of a character walking round a corner; it's a neat idea to do it from inside a parked car. Passers-by and the police are less likely to spot you, and point at the camera, or try to arrest you. Pretty standard cheapo film making technique. But I'd make sure there's enough money in the budget to run the car through a car wash first. Panning shot with fingerprints and glassy smears over them look like ****.
Invasion Earth: The Aliens Are Here (1988) which was for a long time my most pointless film ever made till Zombie Women of Satan turned up. Zombie Women of Satan makes Zombie Strippers look good.
E.T.N.: The Extraterrestrial Nastie aka Night Fright (1967) my IMDB review
The Treasure of the Living Dead (1981) a Jesus Franco masterpiece in which Nazi zombies guard a hidden treasure somewhere in the North American desert.
go watch some of those. Event Horizon, Skyline, Morons from outer Space and even Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda start to look watch-able.

Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th dimension. It was supposed to be some kind of cult film, but it was soooooo bad. I tried on several occassions to watch it and each time I failed miserably.

Ever see Oasis of the Zombies (1981)? Jesus Franco along with second director A.M. Frank borrowed footage from The Treasure of the Living Dead. In this story a bunch of treasure seekers face-off to find Rommel's fortune hidden in North Africa, but find death from WW2 Nazi zombies. The film's quick pace made it a watchable movie. I liked it.
Oh, and most people either like or dislike Buckaroo Banzai. Great weird/cool movie.
