Let's put it this way:
for every decent movie there is a hundred and for every really excellent movie there seems to be a thousand "worst-ever"-movies.

For TV formats (series, shows, stage entertainment etc), the ratios are probably even worse.

I hear Manos is...well...thankfully I've avoided it.

The worst...that's pretty hard to decide...Robin Hood (with Mr Crowe) was pretty damn terrible but it had its moments...not many mind...

I'm sure I'll think of more...I've not watched U-571 so I can't cite that.

Manos - The Hands of Fate? That movie was so bad it was painful to watch.

EDIT: I feel violated for having remembered it... *shudder*

Even MST3K could not save that movie.

Possibly the worst thing to ever come out of Canada.

tree of life.

we turned it off and took it back to the video store. You would have to be a stuck up wine drinking art snob to even remotely like it

A british independant movie called "Hidiouse Kinky" (a romance

)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0136244/
I belive its based on a book, anyway I saw it on a date with a Polish girl back in 1999, I can honestly say it was the dullest movie ever made, literally nothing happens

So boring we almost walked out.

Dont get me wrong, being the compromising boyfriend that I am- Ive sat though a fair amount of moden U.S & British Romantic comedies, I can just about tolerate them, but the formula is always the same, an hour of will they/wont they tension, then at the end it all goes to crap, then they miraculously get together at the end (usally on some public platform so a crowd can give them an applause, puke, puke....)
Im happy that Miss JU_88 is in to psycho thrillers, and 'who dun it' crime dramas, much more up my ally

She'll even sit though the odd war movie so long as it has a decent narrative.

When I was 17 on a late Friday night and I may or may not have been toking, my friends managed to convince me to watch X-Men: The Last Stand with them (the only conditions in which I can be convinced to watch a movie involving superheroes).

Even sto... ahem... tired out of my mind, I was able to determine that was probably the flat-out worst combination of poor writing, poor directing, and poor acting I have had the displeasure of witnessing in my 23 years.

I like to think I have discerning tastes in films, which is why I have to be dragged by friends to watch a movie I even have an inkling is going to be bad. Sure, I could have watched something that was monumentally bad like this "The Room" I keep hearing about, but I should thank my lucky stars that the ones close to me aren't that cruel enough to subject me to that

Anything with van Damme or Seagull in*, Sly films comes pretty close too.

But without a doubt in my mind Eraserhead is probably the weirdest and worst film I've ever had the misfortune to (try to) watch.

Also up there are most US remakes of European or Japanese films, just because some people don't like reading subtitles and most dubbing is crap.

*Unless it has Erika Eleniak jumping out of a cake, obviously.

The Room has to be the very worst I've ever seen.

I might change my opinion when I get around to check out the
Twilight movies.

Can't wait.

Yes!! That's nearly as bad as "The Piano", I tried watching both!

Bad Company (2002) starring Anthony Hopkins, Chris Rock and Peter Stormare. Checking my imdb rating history, I gave this crap one full star.

otoh, This weekend I'm going to watch Lesbian Vampire Killers. Should be awesome, or not.
