IMDb’s Bottom 100 isn’t all that reliable considering it only takes 650 votes to get on it. Hottie and the Nottie is currently #1 while Epic Movie is the film with the most votes (30,047) on the list coming in at #71 (makes me wonder who the $39.7 million worth of people that paid for it are).
“Family Guy” is on right now and they referred to Vanilla Sky as not a “bad movie”, but an “abortion” . I didn’t like that one either because the ending was shit (same with Contact), but not enough to call it the worst.
RottenTomatoes shows Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever as the worst reviewed film, but I never saw it so I can’t say.
Meta Critic calls Bio-Dome the worst reviewed film ever. I liked it when Steven Baldwin made the “woo-peeng” noise with the pantyhose so I can’t say I entirely hated that one.
Entertainment Weekly calls the $19,000 Manos: The Hands of Fate the worst movie ever, but that is picking on the retarded kid if you ask me. If I made a film for $35 it would probably be the worst movie ever too. Come on, where’s the imagination?
However, EW redeems themselves with a much better article called “Readers Confess: The Movie I Walked Out On“. The list includes titles such as 300, Cronenberg’s Crash, AI, Eyes Wide Shut, Pokemon: The Movie, Into the Cut, Very Bad Things, Alexander, Hostel, Dr. T and the Women, Seven Years In Tibet, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and even The Bourne Ultimatum.
So, after so much pondering, searching and suffering I can’t decide… What is the worst movie I have ever seen?
Last year I called Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead the worst. In 2005 I said Stealth was the worst, just above The Bridge of San Luis Rey. In 2004 it was Never Die Alone just a cut above Van Helsing. In 2003 it was Duplex.
Those are all definite contenders… I am not sure I have one that I actually call the absolute worst. I know I wouldn’t want to watch any of those again.
What about you? Is your worst film Battlefield Earth like everyone else? Has yours already been mentioned? Is there a special film that holds a black hole in your heart? Let us know!
