All got it wrong.
Titanic was the worst. Knew the ending and wanted to barrack for the iceburg to sink that load of trivial crap as low as it would go.

Anything with Julia Roberts in it.

As for Attack of the killer tomatoes,.....well its meant to be bad and doesnt take itself seriously. A bad movie is one that DOES take itself seriously and fails dismally.

There have been many bad movies over the years but I haven't needed to sit through them. The worst movie I ever sat through was in the early fifties call fourteen hours. The whole movie was a guy standing on a skyscraper ledge and threatning to jump. I wish someone had pushed him in the first five minutes.

I just looked up the details and the critics gave it three stars and it had some very well known actors in it. Richard Baseheart, Agnes Moorhead, Grace Kelly, Debra Paget, Bardara bel Geddes, Jeff Hunter and a few others.

Another shocker that everyone went to see in 1952 was One summer of Happiness. A Swedish film that had the first bare breast in a film. It was all about "illicit love". Up till then films could not even show couples in bed.

Nothing could beat this one, does anybody remember Flash Gordon?

It was a cerial I used to see at the cinema every Saturday morning when I was a kid. He was a 'space traveller' and his "rocket ship" was visibly suspended on wire and swayed across the screen spewing iron filings (as in sparklers) from the rear. Mind you, the only things flying around in those days were Tiger Moths.

I agree. This film was an insane riot.

My truly favourite character was the evil villainous and wicked General Kala (played but the wonderful Italian actress Mariangela Melatoe (meow)), wearing an ultra tight black leather outfit. She was bumped off by Hans Zarkov lasered her, but the best bit was the way she disintegrated like a deflating black balloon and oozed black liquid all over the floor. This left the overall impressing that she really bad inside and out!

Of the few lines, probably the best was from Kala sounding very much like the character Fra Blucher (neigh) played by Cloris Leachman in the Mel Brooks classic "Young Frankenstein". Here Kala says in a very matter-of-factly way;

"We are going to empty your memory, as we might empty your pockets... doctor." **
Hear at http://guntner.com/FlashGordon/EmptyMind.wav

Not the worst movie of all time, but it certainly was the campiest!
** This also has the brilliant words that Ming the Merciless utters;
"Every thousand years, I test each life system in the universe. I visit it with mysteries: Earthquakes, unpredicted eclipses, strange craters in the wilderness. If these are taken as natural, I judge that system ignorant and harmless; I spare it. But if the hand of Ming is recognized in these events, I judge that system dangerous to us. I call upon the great God, Daizan, and for his greater glory - and our mutual pleasure - I destroy it, utterly."
Absolutely Hilarious in every sense!!

Holy Smoke (Harvey Kietel & Kate Winslet, made by Jane Campion). An absolute load of drivel and tosh, and there is a pee scene (if you haven't seen it, you don't want to know!) and I reckon they used a cow - no woman could produce that amount.

A toal loss so far as I am concerned.

The worst movie in my books is a tie :
"Hey dude, where's my car?" - watching with a friend a long time ago and turned it off after sitting through 10 mins of it.
"The Fifth Element" - This was the movie that made me hate just about every sci fi movie made after it.........what a joke this one was!

Ahhh, thats my 2 cents.....

What about the "Three Stooges". That was always voted the worst program on TV in the 60's but I think everyone used to watch it. I also note the series is still regularly availble on DVD.

I have to place the movie Anaconda is this illustrious list. I'm not sure if it was meant to be funny but we sat there and laughed at some of the scenes and bad acting.
The one scene I remember vividly is where they showed a scene of the boat pulling away from the shore into the river. Rather than film the boat leaving the shore the producers decided just to take the scene of the boat arriving at the shore and play it in reverse. Someone forgot that there was a waterfall in the background, so as the boat was 'pulling away' from the shore the waterfall was going up.
