The stars and writers of Mystery Science Theater 3000 have carried our bad movie passion/fixation/incurable mental condition forward at RiffTrax.com. You spend enough time with bad movies, you’re gonna wind up arguing over which ones are truly the worst. Rather than fight it out tooth-and-nail among ourselves, risking possible tooth injury or even nail damage, we put the question to our fans. A record-setting 500,000 votes later, we’ve got the list. RiffTrax's first annual Worst Movies of All Time list. This is it. No more fighting. Because nobody fights about lists on the internet, right? Right??

I hate to say this but, if you don’t like Mel Brooks movies then you need to get to a doctor and have him check your sense of humor. I believe there are treatments out there now to inject one into people with humor deficiencies.
Love Michael Nelson and Rifftrax. This Island Earth MST version (netflix) is extremely funny.
I can't go a week without finding at least one quote from the movie that is appropriate and hilarious. So long as you go into the movie expecting terrible, you'll have a blast...
Agreed.... But her boobs were amazing!
Zardiz is my choice — I fell asleep in the theater!
Barton Fink
American Beauty.
A coworker and his wife went to see it. He didn’t know it was a “fake-u-mentory.” It scared the crap out of him.
His wife let him keep believing until he found out on his own.
On Christmas Eve, I was looking for a film my sons would like. I found one that I thought everyone would like - a comedy about hunting.
Escanaba in da Moonlight.
Worst.film.ever!
I want to cancel netflix now.
Throw in a couple of really cute kids who try their darnedest to play their roles, a very period 60’s sensibility that veers into “ZAP! POW!” Batman campiness at the drop of a hat (released in 1964) and you have a very wacky, very fun bad movie.
It’s on YouTube in it’s entirety if you want to give it a spin, lol.
Roger Corman’s ‘Fantastic Four’...beyond bad. Budget must have been around a hundred dollars.
I have three movies that, if they aren’t on the list, should be:
The Piano (I clapped in the theater when the piano dragged her down)
The Hours (I said “Thank God” as her body bumped along the stream bed)
Autumn in New York (This one is on the list by reputation: My brother talks with horror about being dragged to see it, even years later. It HAS to be bad. He said it was the video equivalent of castration)
Not everyone feels that way...my brother still mentions the fact I asked him to watch it with me, as I saw it by myself, and couldn’t believe it.
I haven’t taken time to read through all the posts here, but “The Trial of Billy Jack” is, without question, the worst movie ever made.
Everything else is fighting for second place.
Perhaps the worst movie of all time is “The Sound of Music”—Although it is actually well-made, its dark and dreary story, with songs that focus on the dark side of human nature will leave the audience feeling depressed and hopeless.
Hollywood hasn’t learned its lesson...there is yet another ‘Godzilla’ reboot on the way.
No way, any film with the decapitated head of Horse Face lefty Sarah Jessica Parker has redeeming qualities.
The Sheltering Sky
The “Happening” is the movie that Dennis Miller said was so bad that it is the movie that all other bad movie should be compared to.
I think he also said jokingly that movies like this might prove that Shyamalan could have stole “The Sixth Sense.”
