But, to be fair, it was the supporting cast that made that movie. Holly Hunter was incredible. John Goodman was also very, very good.

Catwoman also deserves a mention.

Action movies that don't try to be something they're not, and even make fun of themselves at times, shouldn't be included IMO. Like Crank 2: High Voltage (hilarious movie!), Shoot Em' Up etc. Some comedies could even fall into that category.

There are a ton of B-movies that could easily contend for worst ever too, like the Shark vs. Octopus one posted. Do they really deserve credit for worst ever though? There are so many that are exactly the same, especially about sharks.

That is some quality writing.

I've always thought Batman and Robin was mind blowingly awful, but if I see it on TV I can't resist watching a few minutes of it. It's one of those movies that's so bad it's good in a way. An unintentional comedy. Can a movie like that qualify as worst of all time?

Skyline
Bounty Hunter


Surprised to see Gladiator, Pulp Fiction, Fargo on people's lists.

Didn't care for No country for old men at all, but I wouldn't put it on the worst list.

Just shows the variety in opinion out there.

That was the only movie that was funny that involved him, and I think its because they had a strong cast around him. Frankly he was the least funny person on anchorman. Steve Carroll stole that movie.

Other then that he plays the same role everytime with the same jokes, and he's just not really all that funny.

Anything that a Wayans brother has ever even been near.

- Deep Blue Sea

This is the only movie I have ever honestly walked up to the Guest Services desk on half price Tuesday or whatever and demanded my money back. Credit to the dude at the desk who shrugged his shoulders: 'yeah, yeah, I know, here you go.'

What a terrible film.

- The Last Airbender

This movie was pure, pure garbage.

As for the single worst movie experience of my life, nothing will ever, ever compare to Twilight. Unfortunately, my GF loves that steaming heap of ####. She insisted that it wasnt that bad and that I should watch it with her.

Needless to say, it was pure hell. That movie was so bad, everything, the plot, the story, the acting, the actual camera and filmwork, the effects, everything. As soon as they did the running up trees in the woods and sparkling crap I honestly lost my #### and my GF hated me for a week.

I mean, WTF, they were playing ####ing softball for a while there? What the HELL??

I think the one thing that we're doing here is comparing major movies with major budgets to basically direct to video stuff.

I mean the Megashark movie is what it is, a low budget piece of crap thats not meant to scare you as much as make you laugh at the absurdity of the thing.

I know, and that was the "best" scene in the movie.

Ok, seriously... The worst movie ever is Borat. This time I'm not even joking. Inception was just overhyped, Borat was f****** ######ed.

Old School, Zoolander, and Step Brothers are all hilarious. Talledega Nights and Semi-Pro have their moments as well.

Those are movies that I'd watch on TV so that I can change the channel when the really boring scenes pop up.

TAlledga Nights and Semi-Pro really made me want to punch him in the face.

Its the same thing over and over with him.

Old School, he was the worst character in that movie.

Zoolander was great though.
