Agreed. Every single one of Kubrick's films suffered from that. Watch, someone will throw Eyes Wide Shut into this list.

Ha I nearly mentioned it but refrained ;) A lot of his films were extremely ponderous kind of like being left alone with your own thoughts (nearly meditative) some people don't like that which is understandeable, always great music and viscerals. I think we should make a Kubrick thread

The Scout - walked out of the theater before I could fall asleep - fuck do I hate Albert Brookes.
Tomcats - yea, chasing your buddy's testicle through the hospital is sure funny stuff...

The Blair Witch Project. Any film that forces the cinema to give back half the admission price due to an audience revolt has talent.
Blair Witch Project 2.  My god, what a pointless film. Agreed. Every single one of Kubrick's films suffered from that. Watch, someone will throw Eyes Wide Shut into this list.
Actually, while EWS is disgraceful, it's still... calming to watch. But yeah, the closing scenes with Kidman retelling her dream are... wow, it's not of this world in terms of shitty acting and hamfisted script. Even in the light of Cruise's abysmal acting it still stands out. I heard that those parts were actually pieced together by some abhorrent ghost writer after Kubrick snuffed it.

There's a funny scene in that where they (Kidman Cruise) are getting busy in the sack and just as Cruise is about to climax it cuts to a mine-shaft being blown up classic, absolutely classic stuff.

In my opinion, you can't set the bar any lower than Battlefield Earth. Battlefield Earth made that horrible piece of shit Dungeons and Dragons oscar worthy in comparison. There should have been laws created just to imprison the people involved with that movie. I wish I could purge the memory of ever having seen it from my mind.

Never seen it, fortunately. Even when it didn't have bad buzz, I still wouldn't see it. I mean, why would you?? One look at Travolta's character, and you should already want to stay away.

You guys are squabbling over movies that, in most cases, at least had decent production value. Go watch something truly awful like Manos: Hands of Fate and get back to me. Or most anything by Ed Wood except for Plan 9 (because that movie's campy awesomeness makes up for the visible strings on the flying saucers, etc.)

Well, yeah, those are all obviously bad... But it's pretty remarkable if you can get a good cast, a budget, and still have a senseless production anyways. On that note, Candy (1968) is the worst film ever. Richard Burton, Marlon Brando, James Coburn and still the most meaningless, excessive piece of trash ever imo. Or maybe there are movies that are just as bad -- but yet, they never had those 3 giants in them either. So it's quite a feat. The movies I mentioned earlier (Domino, Revolver, and Smokin' Aces) had some pretty big and respectable cast and crew as well, but the movies are just horrible. Especially Revolver.

Theres way too many "overhyped" and not enough "pure shit" here. Seriously, suffer through 10 minutes of D-wars. Yes, Mannos is the same level of shit.
Fuck, Mannos was so bad I couldn't even watch the MST3K of that film in one sititng.

KnightsI saw this movie at 3 am on some random digital cable channel a few years back. It was a revelation in awfulness. Starring Kris Kristofferson and some female kickboxer.

Oh and I agree with Bhodii there's some ok or good films being mentioned there, Juno and War of the worlds no way you could rate them as horrible. Yeah but nobody ever pretended that Police Academy 4 was anything other than shite by design. Both AI and WotW clearly thought they were good films. Their directors & actors had delusions of grandeur... but were horribly, tragically wrong. In my book that makes them worse than Police Academy!

What did Simon Pegg say in Spaced? "As sure as every odd-numbered Star Trek movie is shit..." I had never heard that rule, and its hard to deny.

I don't think you can compare a low budget bad movie to a big budget one. The latter wins every time because of the insane amount of money thrown at it. 75 million dollars is what it took to make Battlefield Earth. That's the cherry on top of a shit sundae and what cements its position as worst movie of all time in my opinion.

Following that logic, Waterworld. And honestly, Thunderdome sucked balls compared to Mad Max and the Road Warrior.

Hawk the Slayer and Krull freakin' rocked! I could watch those movies a thousand times and not get tired of them. I wish they made sequels to them.
AI's ending was actually pretty cool for me. Robots inherrit the earth. Best ending ever. I don't understand why people mistake the circuitry-coated T-1000s for aliens....

Cutthroat Island.
It came out when I was 12 or so, and I had no idea how bad it was going to be, all I knew was that it was a pirate movie, and dammit, how could you fuck that up? So, I dragged my whole family to the theater to see that piece of shit. It was the first movie of my life where I knew it was a shitty movie from the opening scene. I've still never lived that one down.

And at least the gunfight (especially Philippe jumping in the fountain of glass).
Really though, it's got Benicio, being all cool and shit, flicking someone's hood ornament like a badass dickhead. I'll like it for that.
