What was the WORST movie you've ever seen?

Battlefield Earth (2000)

Often quoted in many "worst ever..." movie polls, and I would concur completely!

All I have to say, is what were John Travolta & Forest Whittaker, thinking when they signed up to appear in this crapfest to beat all crapfests.

"This will make a lot more people take Scientology seriously and help spread the word and make the church a lot of money..." That's what they were probably thinking.

The book is even funnier. Well the first chunk is:

I don't think anyone has mentioned The Ruins. God, what a terrible movie. I was watching it one night on HBO, waiting for it to get interesting, and too tired(read lazy) to change the channel. I finally turned it off with about ten minutes left to go, I couldn't stand it any longer. Killer vines, so stupid, and so poorly written/acted/directed/filmed/etc, etc, etc.
 
Do we have a worst books we have ever read thread here? because BE (the book) would be on my list - except I didn't finish it, and it was so stupidly bad it was funny (and therefore enjoyable) so rules itself out.
 
Maybe not the worst movie ever, but I just rewatched Independence Day and noticed for the first time how bad it truly is.

I saw Independence Day once when it first came out, and I remember it having great action scenes and scary aliens. Now I see cheesy special effects, poor acting, uninteresting characters, and a terrible plot (seriously, aliens don't have anti-viral technology?).

The beginning mentioned aliens hijacking a system of Earth satellites because of their strategic location for communication, which reminded me of Arthur C. Clarke. The appearance of 10 huge and impenetrable space ships over major Earth cities is also reminiscent of Childhood's End, but that is where any similarities to a quality story end.

The biggest problem , downloading a virus into the A]alien mothership computers to disable the shields on all their ships using an earth based computer. Not even remotely possible because very obvious hardware and software incompatibility.
 
Australia with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. After nearly three hours of movie, Hugh Jackman's character still doesn't have a name. He's only known as "Drover" which is his occupation. Maybe I missed some deeper meaning behind that decision, but I doubt it.

Trying to work out how anything with serious man crumpet Hugh Jackman in it would not be worth watching (while noting that there appears to be a large hole in my memory where Van Helsing is concerned).
 
Oh, just about anything on the Syfy channel.....

Also, the other day watched an absolute stinker called Shame The Devil. Shame on me for watching it all. Twice, as I couldn't believe it was ever released. Sample dialogue: 'don't do this baby, my main concern is you and our unborn child'. Who calls their unborn child 'our unborn child' in conversation with their wife?

And Transformers. 2 and a bit hours of my life I will never get back. Said that leaving the cinema and got rounded on by some fanboys. Water. Duck. Back.
 
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon (2011)

I thought the first two were just awful (and the series couldn't get any worse), but I was dragged into the theater by super fan (who payed for my ticket). I gave it a chance, because the trailer didn't look bad.

It wasn't long before I melted into my seat, and wished every character in the movie died a horrible death. All of the characters were completely unlikable and every bit of dialogue was sickening to listen to. I am scarred for life because I sat through the whole damned thing.

If you hated that one, never attempt to watch Transformers (4): Age of Extinction - (newest one with Mark Wahlberg)

Utter mind-numbing boredom...

Mark Wahlberg was also in Max Payne which I think is the worst movie ever made. I actually left the cinema angry at how bad it was and furious at the poor adaptation of the superb game it's based on.

Strangely enough, Mark Wahlberg is in two other films that I really like: The Other Guys & 2 Guns (both fun, easy-going action movies)

You don't have to warn me, my friend. I'll never, ever, watch any of the live action movies (unless I'm paid big bucks).

I didn't want to see the first two (trailers looked terrible to me), but I was with company, and the kids wanted to watch them. I was real quiet (moaning like a tortured zombie on the inside). But that third one, that freaking third one, put me over the edge.
 
The Arrival of Wang.

Awful movie I stayed up late to watch on Film4 one night because the trailer looked interesting.

I now know better than to watch Film4.
 
Watched Sharknado with my daughter on Friday evening. It really is the worst film I've ever seen.

Several tornadoes of the coast of California pick up sharks (thousands of them) from the Pacific and dump them on land - where they cause havoc, attacking from swimming pools, rivers, streams and drains. I say 'from' because they leap onto passing pedestrians, onto passing cars and buses and into buildings through windows. They even strike at a helicopter from a tornado. Strangely they seem to bounce as if made of rubber - can't understand why!

Poor plot, poor acting, poor special effects, poor stunts, poor science.

I saw a teensy weensy fragment of one of the infamous American Pie Movies/franchise/whatever
This itsybitsy fragment was so bad....
undescribable
 
When I was a teen I bought tickets for a Warner Brothers classics film festival. 30 films over the summer for $60. Great movies like Batman and Dog Day Afternoon. Good stuff.

The worst? The only one I walked out on? Chariots of Fire.

Hated it.
