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??

TO #15. The character Howard the Duck was funny. Lea Thompson was hot. That’s the only reason anyone liked the movie, though Jeffrey Jones was a really good villain.
A nice diversion for a snow storm.
“The Village”
Within 10 minutes, I had figured out the whole movie.
It was badder than bad.
“The Happening” never happened, for me.
More’s the pity.
“Signs” was excellent.
And then he apparently just gave up.
Troll 2, although I am very partial to Starcrash, the star wars ripoff made by Italians back in the 70’s. David Hasslehoff battling cavemen in rubber masks with a light saber, a drunk Christopher Plummer beseeching the crew of his model spaceship to halt the flow of time, Caroline Munro in a skimpy outfit, a C3PO ripoff comic relief robot with a cowboy accent. It has some of the most unintentionally hilarious dialog and action sequences I’ve ever seen.
To #33: Re “The Cube”. A fascinatingly stupid movie but Nicole DeBoer was pretty good.
When I asked her about “Cube Two”, she said, “It sucks”.
Best review of it I ever heard.
“She’s cute” as a Trill.
‘Tokyo Zombies’ - yet I laughed all the way through.
The credits also mention a Custume (yes with a “U”) Designer.
How can this list be considered definitive when it only contains ONE film by Ed Wood?
To #42, if I see Conrad Brooks next year, assuming he is still alive, I’ll tell him that someone actually liked Plan 9. Haven’t seen him in a year or more due to his illnesses, and he moved so I haven’t been able to reach him.
PS: Bella Lugosi was very sick during the filming so all they could do was to run old film clips of him from other movies to fill in his character.
Conrad knew the movie was crap and he’s had a ball talking about it for over 50 years. However, his stories about Ed Wood and Hollywood are great. One of the last of the old time Grade Z movie actors who never took himself too seriously.
We both came from Baltimore so we used to trade stories about the old days when it wasn’t a shithole.
PS: Have a great photo of him, myself and Paul LeMat from a memorabilia show in Maryland about 7 years ago. LeMat was a funny guy, and cool too. Turned out to be a good actor as he got older. Long live “American Graffitti”.
Coming to a theater soon: “Plan 9 From Outer Space (Chicago) II Obama’s Rise to Power”
Ishtar !
Ghandi.
The World According to Garp.
It certainly adds to the horror.
I think I saw DSS when I was a hormone-crazed teenager. You can guess what I remember from it.
I’ve always been partial to hot chicks with guitars.
Shyamalan gave up after SIGNS, because he thought The Last Airbender was better.
I have a movie script that a grip friend gave me of a movie that was made (don’t know if the scene stayed as is), where the cop hero was in a shootout in a hospital, and he grabbed his dead fellow cop’s revolver, and taped it side by side to his own automatic, to give him awesome firepower during the shootout, while he was firing from behind a water cooler.
has anyone said ISHTAR?
Armageddon. Pure crap.
We should exempt the 1980’s just to make it interesting. There are so many cheesy flicks to choose from just from that decade...
