1) Bowling For Columbine: Why did Michael Moore have to ruin things for me? I thought he was making some great points and walking a balanced line for some reason until he interviewed Charlton Heston. The guy had Alzheimer's Disease by then, but not only did Moore still interview him, but he never bothered to indicate in the film that he had this disease, and that MAYBE that was why he sounded so crazy

2)Pearl Harbor - Could there be a worse movie? It was like two different movies and I couldn't decided which one I hated more......oh yeah, the love story that had absolutely nothing to do with anything else. The explosions were great, but that only takes a person so far.

3) Auto Focus - I walked out on this one, and that is usually how I measure a bad movie. It bored me so much I went into the parking lot and paced while waiting for my friend to finish it.

4)Entrapment - What was this zeta-jones and sean connery drivel? I can't even remember it was so bad. I walked out.

5) Boomerang: I hate this film. It 'boomeranged' too much or maybe I
would have given it the benefit of the doubt. It still haunts me.

Birth (with Nicole Kidman), where her dead husband returns as a little boy and she basically has a pedophilic affair. Yuck.

Bug (with Ashley Judd), where she is convinced there are insects everywhere, only there aren't ... so strange, yet boring. The only movie where I have ever walked out of the theater.

Fahrenheit 911, because Michael Moore is crazy in the worst of ways. I left this movie and immediately applied to join the Air Force (seriously).

Divan - a documentary about a couch that had been in a woman's family for generations. She travels to Europe, finds the couch, and brings it back to America. I hated this movie mostly because the couch was horribly disgusting and she kept interviewing BAREFOOT family members sitting on it. My OCD couldn't take it.

Titanic - it just wouldn't end! And we all already knew what happened at the end.

Great choices! Although I will say I thought I was the only one who watched Bug!

1. Cloverfield: You never knew what was happening! Where did it come from??? Where did it go???

2. The Number 23: Clumsy, unengaging, and mostly confusing.

3. The Reaping: It's schlocky, spiritually shallow, and scare-free.

4. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer: PROVE IT! Everyone who knows anything about it is dead!

5. Any National Lampoons Movie that doesn't have Clark W. Griswold in it. Call me old school but I prefer good humor to boob jokes any day!

1. Jurassic Park 2: The lost world: Simply because it is one of the worst sequels I've ever saw!
2. Catwoman: Predictable with bad script.
3. Saw 2, 3, 4 etc: Ok the first one was great but I cannot watch the same thing again and again.
4. Terminator 3: Why was this movie released?
5. Alien vs Predator: Predator was a nice movie, Alien too. But alien vs predator is a movie made to bring cash. I did not like it at all!

This question is incredibly easy thanks to two young men: Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. These two have contributed to some of the most dreadful, painful-to-watch movies of the last century.

1. Meet the Spartans
2. Disaster Movie
3. Epic Movie
4. Date Movie
5. Whatever their next film project is.

These guys just continue to put out garbage that lacks any creativity, ingenuity, or overall skill. It amazes me that a) their movies continue to be financed and b) people actually go to see them. If there is any indication of how braindead the general public can be, it's that these guys have been given the opportunity to make these films and actually have a fan base.

1) Howard the Duck.  Absolutely boring.  I walked out with total apathy and have never wanted to know anything about this film.

2) Indiana Jones 2 -- A FAMILY movie where they rip people's hearts out?  Little kids went to the theater and saw this crap.  Probably responsible for more child nightmares than any other film.  Spielberg PUBLICALLY APOLOGIZED for making this film.

3)The remake of  The Haunting.   The original HAUNTING (with Julie Harris, early 1960s) is a CLASSIC retelling of a CLASSIC Shirley Jackson novel.  Everything about this film was perfect.  Why remake it using crappy CGI.  This star-studded film was an absolutely ridiculous flop.  Critics and audiences alike reviled it.

4) Cube 2. The first Cube movie was perfect.  I loved everything about it -- including the original plot premise -- "Man Against The Unknown," I supposed I'd categorize it.   Why, then, did the makers have to remake such a great film as a crappy sequel?  The sequel lessened the impact of the original film.

5) Dick Tracy.   I hated EVERYTHING about this film -- including Madonna. 

If you'd like to see an exhaustive list -- try this link on Wikipedia:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Films_considered_the_worst_ever

Although, some would argue that Ed Wood's movies (Plan 9 from Outer Space, Glen or Glenda) are total gems!

NOW -- to address the other answers/comments:

BUG -- I agree with the others that this film should also never have been made.  It was based on a WONDERFUL Play at the Barrow Street Theater in NYC during 2004 and 2005.  I saw it and LOVED it. A movie was not the proper venue for this play.

AUTOFOCUS -- What part of the movie poster telling you it was a film about Bob Cranes Sexual Deviancy didn't you understand?  It was the retelling of Bob Cranes sex addiction, meeting of a friend with a video camera (back in the 1960s, which was a big deal back then) -- and his double-life as a married man -- and his ultimate murder.  The film was acted wonderfully -- and everything about the film, the pacing, the sets, the costumes, was dead on.  Don't miss this one!  I loved it.

Hope this provides good info for you!  Best of luck! :)

Fortunately I haven't seen that many bad movies. I had to really think hard to come up with this list.

Sunshine (2007) - Sci Fi flick that starts out as very interesting but turns into an unbelievable horror flick. Directed by Danny Boyle. That's right - Danny Boyle who also directed Slumdog Millionaire.

Superman Returns (2006) - I was expecting so much more. Brandon Routh as Superman just wasn't believable and Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor was more prison thug than intellectual super-villian.

Planet of the Apes (2001) - The Tim Burton remake. The original with Charlton Heston cannot be topped. I was especially disappointed with the twist at the end of the remake.

The Rapture (1991) - Mimi Rogers, David Duchovny. Put together soft porn and an end of the world tale and you get this incoherent mess.

Red Dawn (1984) - "Wolverines!" A bunch of kids take up arms to fight off invading Soviet army. Yeah right.

I thought this list of 100 Worst Movies was interesting to scan through:
