Was Showgirls mentioned?
Dumb premise, horribly stilted acting, just blech.
Other than the gratuitous T&A.

I though the transformers movie, for all it's eye candy, was pretty dumb. That scorpion thing following them across the desert, only to attack when they get shelter, then staying out in the open... Hurrrr! Technologically advanced my ass.

Seconded. I didn't even have high hopes for it--but even my low expectations weren't met. It's like being a Los Angeles Kings' fan--as bad as you expect them to be, they're invariably even worse.
For me, the list goes like this:
1. Battlefield Earth (and not because it's sf--I'm a big sf fan. That movie was so bad that after it was done I ran in and watched the credits of one of the other movies so nobody would see me coming out of it. I was literally embarrassed for John Travolta. Not to mention the fact that this was probably the movie that killed Barry Pepper's career.
2. Transformers. The token "hot chick who knows how to fix cars" was the high point of this movie. That's not just me--that was the high point for my wife too.
3. The Faculty. This was the movie that SHOULD have killed Josh Hartnett's career. Every kind of terrible and then a few new kinds that no-one else had thought of. The worst part was not the forgettable plot or the grotesquely miscast Hartnett--it was that this movie tried so hard for "campy" and earned only a few pitying chuckles from an audience of University students, arguable their chosen demographic.
4. The Forgotten. You've probably "forgotten" about this movie starring Julianne Moore as a woman who discovers that we're all part of a big alien experiment that sucks us into the sky like a giant dustbuster. This one was so bad, my wife and I actually asked for our money back. The weird part was they gave it to us, even though we sat through three quarters of the movie. We took our fifteen bucks and went for ice cream.
I'm actually embarrassed that I've seen all of those. I've seen tons of terrible movies, but I have to say those are the worst of the worst.

This movie got a ton of bad press, but for any Tom Green fan it's pure gold. Just the fact that the studio gave him $50m to make a movie and he spent most of it shooting on location in Tunisia for about 1/10 of the movie's runtime is hilarious to me. You have to have a messed up sense of humour perhaps, and I can understand why some people didn't like it. But it's nowhere near the worst movie of all-time, or the worst one you could ever watch. There are redeeming qualities about the film, even if you can't stand TG. Just ask this guy:

edit - ^^^^ link doesn't work. Type "freddy got fingered new york times review" into google and it's the second link. That is, if you wanna read the one positive review the movie got from any major newspaper/media outlet.

Maybe I have a different definition of what "worst" means to me. I'm thinking a complete waste of time, something devoid of any artistic merit, laughably amateur, stilted performances, incomprehensible, shoddy directing.
I read so may reviews before I see a movie that I don't often see a stinker. I did see " Good Luck Chuck" however, mainly because my sister worked on the crew in VAN, and thought it was incredibly bad.

Phantom Menace. I have never ever fell asleep at a movie theatre before but this snore fest is one of the biggest waste of digital film ever.
hahaha and i had stupid friends who saw it like 10-11 times in the theatres in an effort of trying to help it beat Titanic at the box office. hahahaha.
How you can listen to Jar Jar for more then 1 minute is beyond me.

Speaking of Josh Hartnett, I saw that movie "30 Days of Night", and what a frickin' stinker that one is. How it has a 6.7 rating on IMDB is beyond me.
I'm also in agreement with Ro on "Freddy Got Fingered". Definitely not everyones cup of tea, but I liked it. The whole movie was a gag and a lesson in absurdity. It was sort aimed at audiences in an Andy Kaufmanesque fashion. A lot of people didn't get it though.

The Black Dahlia
A good cast, a true crime story, but my god it was more brutally butchered than the prostitute in the movie

Wickerman and Ghost Rider, definitely two heaps of forgettable crap for Nick Cage. Terrible, terrible acting all around.
(I like Tango and Cash. I love Kurt Russell)

Isn't the idea to avoid the stinkers? I can't say I haven't sat through a stinker (I have) but I try not to spend good money on a dud flick, and one can usually tell. However, sometimes a bad movie comes out with lots of hype so it's hard to avoid a stinker. My candidate for most overrated movie of all time: Pearl Harbor. I hated that Titanic ripoff, historically inaccurate love story. Pure crap!
Apparently, lots of folks liked PS I Love You. It scores 7.0/10 on imdb. I haven't seen it.

Maybe it's my profuse hatred for Nicholas Cage. That movie just made my eyes bleed.
FTR, my definition of worst movie is the movie that I enjoyed the least and made me want to kill the most people. Adaptation easily wins.
