What's the Worst Movie You Ever Saw?

[ZiggerZagger]

Having worked in a Movie store (Mr. Movies) in the mid-1990's, I was privileged to see some truly awful movies come through at that time. Will have to collect my thoughts for a proper answer...

But I will say that the art of the so-bad-it's-good movie is really an artfully fine balancing act. It should be praised to the heavens whenever it is achieved.
In that category, the movie They Live comes to mind, and mostly due to the *awkwardly* long fight scene between Keith David and WWF's 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper.

Fantasy Mission Force.

This is one of those so-bad-its'-good movies, at the very pinnacle of the genre. It is worth a few hours of your time for exactly that reason. It starts out off the rails and actually finds a way to get weirder and worse progressively.

It is seriously life-changing cinema. I laughed until I cried.

OMG! I LOVE that movie! That is a chinese food and beer night feature!

Good stuff guys.

Also, I thought I knew Blaxploitation films until I saw Isaac Hayes as Truck Turner. Pimps, Bounty Hunters, and Uhura from Star Trek as the most foul-mouthed Madam of all time.

Hayes actually makes his girlfriend put down a KFC chicken wing so he can get romantic with her.

So super bad that it's beyond super good.

And...

Where do they come from ?
They ain't from Cleveland

It looks like you dipped your face in cheese dip back in 1957

Just to clarify, 'They Live' and 'Truck Turner' both come with my highest rating, if only for the quotable lines alone. They don't take themselves seriously, which is exactly why they succeed...

But, the worst films I've ever sat through in the theater are absolutely:
--Dick Tracy (walked out),
--Waterworld (gills, really???), and
--The Island of Dr. Moreau (the Brando/Val Kilmer one)

Each so uniquely horrible in it's own way...
