What was the WORST movie you've ever seen?

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.

As I understand it, Oasis of the Zombies and The Treasure of the Living Dead is the same film with different titles:

(There might have been slight editorial differences for different releases.)

Jess Franco and AM Frank are the same person. Franco used several Pseudonyms in his career; A M Frank was just one of them.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
is just great.
 
The most astonishingly awful thing cropped up on one of the satellite movie channels tonight.
Blubberella. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1756427/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1756427/
It tried so hard to capture the delightful ugliness of an early John Waters piece, and failed dismally. This Lindsay Hollister person struggled admirably to emulate Divine, yet failed to capture the Divinity. The least of her problems was that she was not a he.

The writing was clumsy and trite; struggling so hard to be deliciously outrageous, yet missing the mark. Mostly.

Killing people by smothering them in collossal bazoombas, and repetitive jokes about premature ejaculation can be funny; but in this case they grew tedious.

There were just enough jokes that worked, to keep my attention. Mostly. I can't believe I watched the whole thing. Mostly. Oddly, my wife was the one who refused to change the channel.

The highlight, other than a lot of Nazis meeting hideous deaths, being Ron "Opie" Howard's weird-ass brother, Clint. Clint Howard is mostly known for bizarre, random cameos. In this flick Clint carries a near-leading role, with style and hilarious grace. It's a pity he gets wasted in the end. (That was a spoiler; but who cares, in this turkey?)

Fans of Pink Flamingos, Female Troubles, and Desperate Living will be alternately titillated and embarrassed by the abortive attempts to pastiche the inimitable John Waters.

Postmortem websearch sez that it intended to be spoofing BloodRayne. I don't know from Bloodrayne. Perhaps Bloodrayne fans, who don't carry the baggage of the memory for early John Waters films might appreciate this more for what it is.
 
Pretty much anything from Joe D'Amato fits into this category. Though D'Amato's films have that certain schlock factor that add another dimension of unintentional comedy.

The worst films I would have to say are Cannibal Ferox and Cannibal Holocaust. Any movie that has animal killing for pure entertainment value is lower than anything imaginable. I have also just read recently that the director of Cannibal Holocaust (Deodato) actually had a sadistic hands on role in the brutal stabbing of a native monkey that was in the film. Sick, disgusting and completely incomprehensible crap that should have never even been considered, let alone made.
 
New Years Eve . . . Unbelievably bad, truly awful, most things with Sarah Jessica Parker are though, I always feel a cavity coming on following watching anything she does!
 
Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)

I finally watched the entire movie...and it was tough to sit through. It was just awful and unfunny. The movie had potential and great comedians in it, but the creators of the film wasted everything on lame jokes. David Chappelle is a very funny comedian, he always cracks me up, but in this film he was completely subdued, he would have been my choice to play Robin Hood.
 
TCM was showing Scott of the Antarctic today in observation of the 100th anniversary of that ill-fated expedition to the South Pole. I've seen bits and pieces of the movie over the years, but this is the first time I actually sat and watched the entire movie. John Mills was properly courageous in the title role with a host of British character actors surrounding him. For the time it was filmed (1948), it was as realistic as the medium could sustain.
 
The Sound Of Thunder.

Where do I begin?

When time gets screwed up by a time machine mis-used by Evil Corporation(TM), only the scientist who invented it knows what's going to happen. But how does she know, since she hasn't had the chance to test her theories by, say, really changing the past?

Every newly-evolved critter is a carnivore. Huge herds and flocks of carnivores, without a single herbivore to prey on. Even the vines are carnivorous. Ever heard of ecological balance, guys?

Oh, and it doesn't matter how many people die during the movie. Fix the original paradox, and everything will go back to the moment it all went wrong, because it won't. Comforting as the lizard-apes tear you apart.

But, the moment it all went wrong was during a Tyrannosaurus Rex hunt. Possibly because the T. Rex had three-fingered hands instead of the two-fingered hands he should have.

Our heroes (those still alive) have to go back in time to the original hunt. Just because this same T. Rex has been hunted by wealthy big-game hunters hundreds of times and none of the hunters/time travellers have ever met at this moment in time despite all travelling back to it, and the success of Our Heroes depends on them meeting themselves even though the time machine doesn't allow that...
 
Fear of Clowns (2006)

I had forgotten I had a copy of this movie that was given to me as a gift. In the back of my mind, I chuckled as I remembered chatting with others here about how scary clowns are. The negativity about the colorful circus performers made my interest grow so much that I finally decided to watch this flick.

The title of the film should be changed to: Boring Unimaginative Killer Clown Movie
 
I think it was called Space Camp and it was about a bunch of kids who ended up on the shuttle-can't remember how.

It might not be all that bad but it sticks in my mind because SC was the first time I realized going to the cinema could be a crappy let down. Ah, childhood's end...

Currently,

Without a shadow of a doubt,

Pirates of the Carribean. Any of them - all of them in fact.

It is a plane crash causing a train wreck, spilling over onto a motorway pileup of a plot (I suppose such monstrosities will always attract bemused viewers...)

Before I saw At Worlds End last night, I would have nominated I am Legend (for crimes against humanity if I could).
 
I'd have to say Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009).

It had some funny parts but overall it was pretty stupid, much worse than the first one.
 
As an X Files fan, I have to say that I bought the DVD of the 2nd movie and I never finished watching it. It just couldn't hold my attention.

As for the most regrettable movie I ever watched all the way through, I'd say Star Trek:Insurrection. It would have made a good two parter episode but IMO the story wasn't "big" enough to be a movie.
 

Let's see, I have never ever seen this movie but just from the image you've posted...

Characters:

Blond Cheerleader - Either dumb or a bitch. Or both. Character for male viewers to drool over. For dumb/bitch girls in audience to emphasise with.
All-American football hero - Strong but condescending. Character for female viewers to drool over. For popular boys in audience to emphasise with.
Short boy (it is a boy yes?)- Underdog that either produces 'Awww!' moments or fails at everything physical (because of his height and his lack of confidence). But he saves the entire mission using his brains. Geek/loser boys in audience to emphasise with.
Brunnette tomboy - Angry, shy and emo at first but gets the All-American hero as a boyfriend at end against all expectations. Geek/loser girls in audience to emphasise with.
Obligatory ethnic minorty - Has the most upright and moral character and is definintely not a gangsta. For the ethnic minorities in the audience to emphasise with.
Kate Chapshaw - Some semblence that this movie might be kinda decent, as hey wasn't she in an Indiania Jones film...

Plot: A group of mismatched kids are brought together at a summer space camp, who at first don't like each other, but through escapades and a life threatening situation learn the lesson of working together as they save their lives, the shuttle and NASA's reputation and discover friends for life...
