People will probably disagree with the first one, but I thought Eyes Wide Shut was horrendous. Also, Glitter with Mariah Carey was awful. Although, I think it actually might be better than EWS...

First of all, most of these movies are bad but not that bad. They usually have a plot that you can follow and characters that are at least a bit defined. BloodRayne is as awful as any other Uwe Boll film and probably would make my list. Troll 2 is an extremely bad film that's really worth the watch. As for the other films, they are mostly just uninteresting.

Here are a few titles of bad films everyone should see before they die:

Deadly Prey
White Fire
She
Days of Hell
Blood Debts (anything by Teddy Page)
Ninja III: The Domination
Eliminators
Hologram Man (anything Pepin/Merehi)
Low Blow
DollMan
Hell on the Battleground
Ninja Champion (anything by Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai)
StarCrash 2
Speed Demon
Arcade
Neon Maniacs
Lethal Ninja
Shaolin Chastity Kung Fu
Trained to Kill
For Your Height Only
L'uomo puma
Gli sterminatori dell'anno 3000 (most every post-apocalyptic Italian movie of the 70s and 80s)

The list goes on.
A tip: never watch these movies alone.

Along with others, I (strenuously) object to the inclusion of "Boondock Saints" and would like some clarification regarding "Crossroads" .. .. which one?

By: Travis

Travis — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 05:15:57 +0000

honestly? Boondock Saints? That is in my top 5 (for a movie on a budget of $800,000.... fan-freaking-tastic!)

Also, Death to Smoochy and Bio-Dome were pretty funny... definitely not the worst movies ever.

Add on CSA: Confederate States of America and the original Blair Witch Project...

Also, Crossroads - you mean the one with Britney Spears? because the 1986 film with Ralph Macchio was great!

LisaL, I also thought Crewes was good in Idiocracy as well.

Slash, I am soooo glad that I didn't finish watching CQ, it had a good cast, but it looked like it was going to annoy the hell out of me.

I think Ghost Rider should definitely be on the list. How could such a good premise go so criminally wrong?

CQ was by far the worst film I ever sat through. I should have walked out. Did walk out on Top Secret though.

Wilfredo, totally agree about Crewes. I remember watching him first on that dumbass gladiotor type show that used to come on tv. He played a guy named T-Money lol.

He really is a fantastic actor, and it's so funny when he plays a goofy character b/c he's looks like the last person who'd be able to pull off goofy, yet he does it SO well.

Boondock Saints and Death to Smoochy both need to be taken off... I've seen both of them SEVERAL times - both great movies! In fact, it's about time to watch Smoochy again.. "It's... It's a... a... ROCKET SHIP!!" The worst movies I think of off of the top of my head include the newest Superman and There Will Be Blood. I also hated No Country for Old Men, but some people disagree with me on that. Botched was a trainwreck.

Wilfredo — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 07:22:14 +0000

I just saw Death To Smoochy today! I catch it every time it's on TV. The film it's a bit uneven, but I really liked the undercurrent of creepiness.
The only thing that was good on White Chicks was Terry Crewes performance. That dude is so underrated! More films with Crewes, I say!

Barb Wire is a tongue in cheek homage' to Casablanca with Pam Anderson/Lee as Bogie. If you watch it with that in mind it is as much fun as Starship Troopers!

Fight Club? Are you looking for a fight?

After reading this I'm going to have to get Boondock Saints.

these were all fairly new. Worst movie of all time was Jerry Lewis in Hardly Working. Nothing touches that. A close second was The Gong Show Movie.

Boondock Saints. Why? It is on so many such lists and i really can't see why. Good, funny and entertaining. Not particulary bad acting (some very memorable scenes, Willem Dafoe in drag, can anyone forget that?), nothing wrong with the script as such, decent camera work and good editing.

It does not belong to the top 50 best films either but as bad as Gigli? Come on...

Many critic put this movie to the worst pile but can't remember any reasons. Maybe they hate the director or something? All that negativity has caused the director not to have any job in 10 years.. and i admit he's next/only work after that is witnessing a genius at work or a very, very bad move. He's gone and done a sequel.. and it comes out 10 years after the first..

Poor guy. Read more from the WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Duffy

I kind of liked Caddyshack 2 and Bio-Dome...

I almost never read comments but this time I had to, just to see if people agree that Boondock Saints should be on the list. Definitely an entertaining film.

50 First Dates. I don't want to spend another minute even discussing that movie. Watching it was torture.

Oh another movie that needs to be added to that list...

Xanadu

We bought it for hubby's uncle (he loves all of that 70's crap).... but he already had it, so since we couldn't take it back, decided to watch it.
Good freaking god..... no words can describe just how awful it is.

Hey Forbidden Zone is amazing!!! Danny elfman plays the devil!!! Fight Club should in no way be on that list even if you dont like it you have to admit you should see it to deside for yourself. Boondock Saints should not be on this list. Its not a five star movie but its not that bad. At least worth a watch.

Oh and for a really bad one, check out Fast Sofa. The only highlight is seeing Jennifer Tilly’s boobs.

It CANNOT be a bad movie if it has Jennifer Tilly's boobs in it.

if these are all horrible movies, and we're supposed to watch them after we die, that implies a torturous afterlife, no? I hope I don't have to watch them after I die!

haven't seen any of these but i'd add Twilight and Knowing

Fight Club. They forgot Fight Club.

And can we add TV shows? My husband is watching Chuck right now. Which he BOUGHT ON DVD! *screeeeeeam*

The only thing I can stand about that show is the cool opening theme song. That's it.

Jill -
It may have been that I didn't have the proper amount of alcohol before watching JC:VH. I really tried, though...

How about Forbidden Zone? Trying to get through that one sends my brain into emergency shutdown.

I can't believe that Phantom of the Paradise is never mentioned with these craptastic movie lists. It's truly horrible.

Oh and don't forget Skidoo...which has the distinction of being the VERY LAST film Groucho Marx was ever in.. he actually moved the pretty girl out of the way so he could read his lines off a cue card near the camera.. and Jackie Gleason is visibly pissed off throughout the whole movie.

2 classically bad films that everyone forgets about.. if you get the chance to see either.. watch at your own risk.
