Unspeakable - it should’ve been named “Unwatchable” - it was so bad my wife and I HAD to keep watching it just to see how bad it would get (most of the time I just turn off the really bad stinkers).
"Whose Life Is It Anyway", from the late 70's or early 80's I think, starring Richard Dreyfus as a guy who is rendered quad in a car accident. And not just any guy - this guy was SPECIAL. He was a SCULPTOR, and being quad was hell for him because it left him without any means to "express his consciousness". Like if the guy had been a plumber he'd have said, "Oh, being quadraplegic isn't so bad once you get used to it..."
Oh, the angst... How did all those guys who spent money to take their girlfriends out on a cheap date to see this one feel once it got on a roll?
I had the good fortune to at least be battered with it at someone else's house, watching it on their cable dime.
I actually enjoyed “A Thin Red Line”, though it probably helped to have read the book first (much of the dialog seemed to be lifted straight from there).
The Undertaker and his Pals.
Actually, I've seen it and agree, it was pretty well done. I'm referring to the first feature film Dune, which was highly publicized at the time it came out and was abysmal.
Troll 2. The worst “film” ever.
Here are some films I have seen that are so bad, there are no words I can use to describe them in the English language that would not get my post pulled.
Manos: The Hands of Fate
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Monster A Go-Go
Eegah
The Pumaman
Attack of the the Eye Creatures (filmmakers forgot to remove the extra “the” in the title sequence)
Werewolf
Battlefield Earth...Great book, unwatchable movie.
Since Nastasia Kinski was in it, it can't have been the worst film ever made.
The worst movie ever is:
Its why I call a Coyote Ugly movie! You would chew your arm off to leave!
I rented it because of the cast, and found it virtually unwatchable. But, then, there's no accounting for taste.
Didn't they make a Highlander III, something about the planet they were all escapees from but didn't remember? Or am I just remembering 2 and thinking it's so bad it was a third?
Granted those films are all B-films and are only famous because of MST3K. If you are looking for a major production that was terrible, I give you Batman and Robin.
Leonard Part 6 starring Bill Cosby.
Yes, II was the escapees atrocity. III returned to the original story, starting with an explanation with Christopher Lambert staring into the camera and, in so many words, saying “let’s pick up a few minutes before the first movie ended and ignore that POS that was its sequel”, then continued with a storyline of “oh, hey, there is one more immortal after all...”
II was so bad that, yes, you are mis-remembering it.
Pearl Harbor is the #1 worst movie of all time.
Followed closely by virtually any Susan Surrandan, Glenn Close, or Barbara Streisand film.
Manos: The Hands of Fate
That’s the winner - by a mile.
