I managed to obtain a small slice of immortality amongst a car load of people when we went to a drive in to see "Galaxina" years ago.

About halfway through the movie, everyone crammed into this car was in a stupor because the movie was so bad, and it occurred to me: The only reason I agreed to go see it was because the female star was a Playboy centerfold, and I thought we would, at the very least, get a cinematic look at her bare torso.

I said out of the blue: "I have a sneaking suspicion we aren't going to see her boobs."

I still get that quote repeated now and again...:) Ah well. Two of those people in that car that night didn't pay, since they were in the trunk when we arrived...at least THEY got their money's worth!

I’ve seen many of the movies listed and while not masterpieces they were at least watchable. Nothing I have seen is as bad as “The Incredible Hulk”.

Last year, my wife and sisters insisted that we (my brother-in-law and I) watched “Bridesmaids.” Brother in law passed out. Finally, I got up and went upstairs and drank some wine. “Bridesmaid”: the worst chick flick since Edison invented electricity.

Pfft. Halle Berry as anything...blech.

"Now, THIS is a Catwoman" (Spoken like Crocodile Dundee)

I can't stomach Halle Berry in anything. Brainless.

I have to admit, even though "Crystal Skull" was bad, it was so campy in some parts that it was fun. I mean, the lousy russian accent and over the top commie portrayal of Cate Blanchett was really funny. And the scene where he hides in a fridge to survive a nuclear blast is pretty good too...:)

I LOVE Mel Brooks, not as much as my kid does, but for longer. I even like some of the sillier ones, like Robin Hood - Men in Tights. Spaceballs is a family fave. Silent Movie is brilliant and such a wonderful valentine to his wife. But History of the World, blech!

In the spirit of full disclosure let me admit that the first time I saw “Young Frankenstein” it eluded me completely. Then my movie-loving friend confessed she felt the same way and said: Jocon, I think we’re wrong, let’s go see it again.

Needless to say we were laughing our heads off! Ever after that film has just gotten funnier everytime I’ve seen it.

And of course, blazing saddles, at that movie another friend of mine and I were pretty much literally rolling in the aisles. Of course that was back in the bad old days and we were a wee bit under the influence, but I’ve never laughed so hard at a movie in my life!

One of my friends is convinced that “Time Bandits” is one of the worst movies ever made, whereas I find greatness in it.

Thanks chessplaye. It would be easier to triage all films into ‘worth owning’, ‘worth watching’, and ‘avoid’, but here are some which come to mind:

“Roadhouse”; “January Man”; “The Wraith”; “Criminal Law” (the only movie I’ve ever walked out on and demanded my money back); “The Hobbit” (Ralph Bakshi’s on-screen abortion); “The Heavy Metal Movie”...

I am surprised that The Jackass movies weren’t on the list.

I liked Buckaroo when it came out. Looking at it now, yeah, it's pretty bad.

The performances by Lithgow/Lloyd/Schiavelli are pretty good.

Big Trouble in Little China is one of my favorite corny/bad movies of all time.

As far as the worst of all time; I would have to list Ishtar, Battlefield Earth, Waterworld, American Beauty, Wall-E, The Contender, for starters...

No way, any film with the decapitated head of Horse Face lefty Sarah Jessica Parker has redeeming qualities.

That was the only redeeming part of that movie. How could they get so many top shelf actors into such a stinker is beyond me. You would think one of them would say: "Can we hang on a second...."

Escanaba in da Moonlight.

Worst.film.ever!

My wife found that one for me on DVD. I thought I was the only person to actually see it.

To me, the movie is so bad it is actually funny. Then again, I was born and raised in Michigan and have many Friends from the UP so some of the dialog is funny because it is true.

I loved Big Trouble in Little China. Corniness becomes art.

When it comes to just plain bad, I nominate Starship Troopers 2.

My vote goes to Malevolence (1999). Laugh out loud bad. It must be seen to be believed.
