After watching 'Ed Wood' (pure gold) I sought out 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' thinking it couldn't possibly be as bad as tey made it seem.

But it was. It really, really was appaling.

Narrowly behind 'Plan 9' in the ****test-film-ever stakes, there was a flick I saw a few years ago when a chronic insomniac friend of mine hunted me down at 4 am and told me to turn on 'Cobra Force', a South African war film (it sounds tragic already) with the sort of script and acting that would make Mariah Carey's Glitter seem witty and insightful.

Any votes?

Nothing like a good stinker of a movie
 
I tend to give a bit of leeway to cheap sci-fi flicks for generally they are pretty enjoyable.

However I reserve the crown of 'worst' film for directors and stars who should know better.

The Arrangement - horrible Elia Kazan mess with Kirk Douglas undergoing a mid-life crisis.

Boom! - Burton, Taylor and Coward seem to be having a ball in this Joe Losey adaptation of a bad Tenessee Williams play. The result though, is utterly unwatchable.

The Assassination of Trotsky - Burton and Losey again, this time abbetted by Alain Delon. Horribly pretentious disaster.

Sextette - Mae West is around 80 years old in this one and still trying to pass herself off as a sex kitten. Watch it and cringe.

Zabriske Point - Yep, the ending is a knockout, but you have to suffer through around 2 hours of torture to get there.

Ash Wednesday - Liz Taylor gets a facelift and looks older than before. That jar of vaseline on the lens aint foolin nobody.

Exorcist 2: The Heretic. Shoot me now.

I'll throw 'Cool as Ice' into the ring.

It was written entirely as a vehicle for the most talented rapper of all time - Vanilla Ice. That should tell you all you need to know about how bad it is.
 
For mine its a toss up between The Saint with Val Kilmer, or Scary Movie 2.
 
There are two kinds of "bad movie".

The first is the "so bad that it's good" category, into which fits such superb flicks as "Plan 9", "Santa Claus conquers the Martians" and "Pee-Wee's big adventure". Films such as these are truly works of art and should be worshipped, not damned.

The second category is the movies which truly are awful. Into this category I place drivel like:

Weird Science - could not be taken seriously in any way

Some Kind Of Wonderful - I have tried to watch this no less than 3 times. Each time I gave up within 20 minutes.

The Baby of Macon - Pretentious claptrap.

The Piano - Boring feminist garbage with characters who each needed a good hard kicking.

Dancer in the Dark - Boring, dark, depressing, and no way to feel sympathetic to any of its characters. May Bjork never work in front of a camera again.

My Girl - Billed as a light-hearted family movie, but in reality dark brooding and morbid.
 
Try a film called Plan 10 From Outer Space. Nothing to do with the Ed Wood film, but some truly reprehensibly bad garbage about beehives and mormon conspiracy.
There are a few Troma films that could get a run as worst ever, including one really crappy on called War. The remake of Planet of the Apes is probably the worst film I've seen in the last 10 years, closely followed by Kids. The Idiots (Lars Von Trier movie) was really crap until the sudden burst of hardcore pornography towards the end...
 
Nothing tops Cobra Force, the absolute worst film ever made, the continuity errors on it are hillarious! The dialogue is a laugh a minute too. The loyal black soldiers and their white officers are hardly believable and I'll be stuffed if I can figure out what the plot was! If this was the best the South African Govt (let's face it, it had to be them!) could put out propaganda wise no wonder they eventually had to cave in to majority rule!
