Location: In a land without pants, or war, or want. But mostly we care about the pants.
Exp:
There are literally dozens of films I could nominate, as I used to be a video store junkie and I'd watch ANYTHING if I'd never seen it before - but the worst was "The Sword and the Dragon", which was a Soviet attempt at a fantasy movie from 1956 which had:
- absolutely horrible dubbed voices, I mean it sounded like a few of the actors were drunk
- a bewildering "plot" that came from the "make it up as I along" school of scripting
- cut scenes to battle that were clearly stolen from another movie
- brutal special effects that would have been laughed at in the 20's, never mind the 50's
- bad colour, bad film, bad sound, bad lighting, bad camerawork
- the film ended (thankfully) more or less in mid-scene with no explanation
In short, I could have made a better film with a cast of pre-schoolers and somewhat threatening goat.
As far as unintentionally hilarious films go, I still fondly remember "The Pumaman", who was a D-list superhero from the 80's - here's an excerpt from the Wiki article which says it all: "Also particularly infamous are the flying scenes, which mostly consist of Pumaman madly waving his arms and legs as the obviously rear projected background advances."

Worst part was it took place in our neck of the woods. Had a Lac Des Arc and everything. Oh and did you know Canada has something called the CBI, its like the FBI but Canadian
Down to You staring Freddy Prince Jr was pretty awful, I was more entertained by the ceiling fans of the theatre than what was on the screen.
I know what you mean, only difference was that I was entertained through that movie by staring at this really weird light fixture on the wall by our seats.
My friend was so in love with him, that I was dragged to all his movies. The worst was Boys and Girls. Here's a gem from that film, delivered with such perfection by Prinze himself:
"Look, that night was as much a surprise to me as it was to you. But being with you was like going to a place that I had never been before. And after you fell asleep I just laid there, staring up at those cheap fluorescent stars you have stuck on your ceiling, and - after awhile they just started forming a pattern, this weird glow-in-the-dark pattern that linked together our entire relationship. And for the first time everything seemed clear to me - like one logical progression. It felt like you and I were the greatest plan ever made and I had nothing to do with it."
I had to leave the theater after that one. I mean, really? the flourescent stars spelled out your relationship? Who wrote that garbage?
Another movie I hated was Random Hearts. One of those run on movies. Just when you think it was ending, this sad pathetic saxophone music would start playing and it would go on again for another hour or so... or at least that's what it felt like. Totally pointless. I hate yet to forgive Harrison Ford.
I just don't get the hate for Battlefield Earth. It got bad reviews because it was pure science fiction IMHO. That and the didn't like the use of some of the camera angles; those were needed because in real life John Travolta isn't 8 feet tall.
Yes, there were a few plot holes; like Harrier jets still functioning after 1000 years in storage.
Theres some god awful movies out there...
oddly enough for me, alot of them tend to be horror genre movies, which maybe doesnt come as a surprise since the premise of most horror movies is atrociously bad to begin with
off the top of my head:
darkness falls
jeepers creepers
alien vs predator
the number 23
next
ghost ship
sargeant kabukiman nypd - its a troma movie so its allowed to be bad
d-wars (dragon wars)
i could go on for a while about movies that keep bringing the suck but I think ill stop here for now

Worst movie I remember watching was Dune. David Lynch. After enjoying the book, that movie was god awful. Yet, there are those out there who love it. Go figure.
and they're making a 3rd...2, went straight to dvd, as will #3. I've never wanted to cry in a movie as much as when I saw Ghost Rider...what a gooey load of monkey spunk that was.
John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Randy Quaid and Oliver Platt. Should be gold right?
Wow was it bad. Set in Wichita, KS...that probably was the first wrong move.

This is by far, hands down, the biggest piece of crap movie I have ever watched. You don't turn it off because it couldn't get any worse... and you think, well.. something HAS to happen in this movie. Well, no. Spoilers or not, nothing happens in this movie. It's like a bad COPS episode without any action, suspense, humour, or anything.

Is the name of it. So, while searching for the trailer, I found that the trailer has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with what the film is about, other than the people work at it. What a complete joke this movie is. It's actually making me upset thinking back to how awful it was. It's supposed to be a murder mystery, but you figure it out after about 2 minutes. Set in some nowhereville town... with nowhereville actors
