[Schmidty]

Worse movies than what?

[Groundhog]

Only movie I've seen on this list is the Garbage Pail Kids movie, and I was too young to remember it.

[Buccaneer]

I usually get those two words mixed up. Now answer the @%#$!$ question.

[sachmo71]

It makes me sad that two Baby Genius movies are on this list. How can you get tired of fake talking babies?

[Kodos]

No Metalstorm - The Revenge of Jared Syd? Or Caddyshack 2?

[Greyroofoo]

I remember watching "Hobgoblins" on an episode of MST3k.

Best rake fight ever.

[Buccaneer]

In poking through some of the titles, I'm surprised at the star power of some of the movies.

[wade moore]

I am happy to say I have not seen any of these movies.

[hawk4669]

Manos "up" to #21? Travesty.

Ahhh Crow, Servo, Mike/Joel...where are you when we need you.

Cheers!

[jbmagic]

American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt (1989) should not be there.

It was a decent movie

Actually, I may have seen this too, back when I went through my ninja movie phase.

[Coffee Warlord]

Oh C'mon. Leonard Part Six ROCKS.

And this list is immediately disqualified for not including Druids.

[Schmidty]

"The Skulls" and "In the Cut" should definitely be on the list.

[TroyF]

I haven't seen any of them. I'm thinking that's a good thing.

[Joe]

I've only seen 17 of them.

[Abe Sargent]

I have Glitter on DVD as a gag gift. Someone bought it for me, opened the packaging, slid it into my DVD collection, and then added it to my DVDaficianado page. A later night he came back to my place when others were overe anmd asked to see my DVD collection, and I agreed. Then he said, "What's Glitter doing here?" Everybody thought it was funny. Until I played Glitter continuously for five straight weeks during Magic night at my place.

[JeeberD]

19.	2.1	Love in Paris (1997)	977

Dude...any movie with a naked Angie Everhart should NEVER be on a list of bad movies.

[bulletsponge]

ive only seen 1 of those movies, the horrendous Battlefield earth movie. i think my IQ droped while watching it when i saw the cavemen fly the jet planes. ive seen parts of 2 or 3 others.

[Sublime 2]

Well i've seen about 6 of those....damn i suck

[cuervo72]

Ack...there was a bad suspense/horror movie that came out in 1990 or 91 that I saw on a date (at least I think it was around then...with the quantity of dates I had, you'd think I'd remember the movie and when it was), but I can't remember it. It was really bad though.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Seems like a reasonable list. All are worthy of their place. There may be a few omissions, but it's hard to argue with anything on this list.

[Craptacular]

I made it down to #45 before getting to one I've seen.

[Ksyrup]

The only one of these I've technically "seen" was The Honeymooners, but I'm not counting it since it was on a plane and I didn't buy the headphones.

[stevew]

I believe the only one I ever saw completely was 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998), but I know i've some of Santa with Muscles and Battlefield Earth before.

Manos used to be rated the worst.

[cthomer5000]

House Of The Dead is hands-down the worst movie I have ever seen. Little Man is probably my #2. Their respective spots on that list are well-deserved.

You're evil. How can one concentrate with that ... thing playing in the background?

[MrBigglesworth]

I love You Got Served. My friends and I watch it frequently for its absurdity.

"You're just mad... 'cause tonight you suckas got served!"

At some point I plan on renting this, if they have it at the local Hollywood video. I doubt I can make it through the whole thing too.

I've been meaning to see Gigli as well.

Bo Derek in "Bolero" almost makes the film watchable. At least the first 45 minutes.

[hawk4669]

I know...just can't believe how much it's risen.

It's scary how many of those I've seen just because of MST3K.

*shrug*

Cheers!

The worst movie of all time is "Plan 9 From Outer Space." The film's star, Bela Lugosi, died in the middle of filming, and his remaining scenes were played by a taller actor with a cape over his face (Tom Mason). It is widely noted for its numerous goofs, including:

"Night" and "day" shots are interspersed constantly within the same scene (for example, Paula Trent runs in darkness through the cemetery, while the old man's corpse chases her in daylight). One porthole on the alien spaceship shows a cloudy day (shown during a scene set at night), while the others show only blackness.

Mason's attempts to hide the fact that he is not Lugosi are wildly unsuccessful. As an early version of Leonard Maltin's movie guidebook put it, "Lugosi died during production, and it shows."

The opening narration redundantly informs the viewer how "future events such as these will affect you in the future".

On the numerous graveyard scenes, as characters brush against tombstones, the stones wobble and, in one case, fall over.

During a scene in an airplane cockpit, a flash of light from a flying saucer reveals the shadow of the boom mike. Also in this scene, the actress playing the flight attendant bumps into the curtain several times while waiting for her cue.

The flying saucers (visibly wobbling on strings) cast shadows over the "space" backdrop.

When Tor Johnson drops the girl in the cemetery, a pillow is clearly visible beneath her.

Most notably in the first scenes, string is clearly visible from the top of the wobbly saucer to the top of the screen.

[Mustang]

Too many new movies on that list...

I remember thinking when 95% of those movies came out.. "Who the F thought THIS was a good idea?"

I thought the part where 2 people were having a conversation, and the one kept jesturing and pointing his gun at the lady was absolutely hilarious.

[Vinatieri for Prez]

No way Bolero makes the list for obvious reasons. And Wickerman (2006) should be high on the list.

[Terps]

I've never seen any of those movies.

Caddyshack 2 is the worst movie ever made. Period. End of discussion.

The South Park parody episode with the dance off was hillarious though

" you got F'ed in the A"

[cuervo72]

Ahh, I remember the movie now. Nightbreed. Which apparently has its share of fans. Guess it wasn't so bad after all.

[TroyF]

Vegas. . . if a movie is so horrible it's funny on the UIC scale, it shouldn't be on the worst list. It has entertainment value, afterall. There are some movies that just make you cringe at seeing them and you'd rather have forks shoved through your eye sockets than to be forced to watch them again. I believe Planet 9 is the first kind.

And while I haven't seen it, I'm sure Gigli is the second.

[jbmagic]

Toxic Avenger was bad.

[Honolulu_Blue]

I liked Nightbreed. I liked it quite a bit. It's not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it had some stuff in there I quite enjoyed.

[rkmsuf]

I'm outraged that Hercules In New York made this list.

[hawk4669]

Aw, the old Troma movies have to get a free pass. I think they were intentionally bad.

Cheers!

[3ric]

How many Uwe Boll movies are on this list? Bloodrayne is one.

[sabotai]

House Of The Dead and Alone In The Dark are two more. So at least 3, but I didn't check all of them.

EDIT: He's only directed 14 movies, so 3 out of 14 ain't bad. Plus, several of his other movies would be on that list, they just don't have enough votes.

[Izulde]

No Meatballs movie should be on the worst movie list.

But the worst movie of all time *has* to be "But I'm A Cheerleader!"

I hated Natasha Lyonne for life after that SOC.

[rkmsuf]

Punch Drunk Love should really have made the list.

Can someone explain that movie to me?

It's a movie based on jbmagic's life.
