    Some of these aren't even that bad. Go and watch Dracula 3000 then come back with a proper list.

    I really tried, so hard. I just thought it was trying far too hard, but then the director's previous film Birth, should have clued in me on what to expect especially as I hadn't read the book.

    My missus made me sit through 'Leap Year' over Xmas. Utterly, utterly awful.

    Ironically, The Room, supposedly one of the worst films of all time, is way more entertaining than most of these suggestions. So is Plan 9 From Outer Space.

    It's hard. I've seen far 'worse' films than Interstellar, but Interstellar pissed me off a lot more than, say, The Internship. I guess that's because I expect more from a film like Interstellar. Certainly PS, I Love You fits into both categories.
    I really liked Interstellar, agreed The Internship is a bag of shit. I do feel there is an overreaction from people to call films that are a bit bad genuinely awful. Alone in the Dark starring Christian Slater is genuinely awful especially as it stars Tara Reid as a 'scientist'.
    Y'see, I'd probably get more entertainment value out of a shit film like Alone in the Dark than an incredibly anodyne film like The Internship or The Break-Up, so which is worse? And then there's films which annoy me like Interstellar which is obviously 'better' than the others mentioned, but provoked a stronger negative reaction from me.

    Maybe I'm getting too existential about it...

    @Jyzzy-Z I just read the plot summary on Wikipedia. That sounds both utterly terrible and weirdly awesome. "So bad it's good" kind of works for me with movies in a way it generally doesn't for games.

    @thelzdking

    Don't you dare look into that navel of yours!

    I can see what you're getting at, you know what you're getting with films like The Break Up so you're less likely to be annoyed by it. However a film such as Harlem Nights is a fucking travesty on all levels, actually I think that may be the film where Eddie Murphy started going shit.

    Skyline. Genuinely fucking awful in areas of acting, plot, pacing, characters, direction, writing. Special effects weren't half bad though.
    The worst bit for me was the story verged on interesting during the credits. The most interesting event in the film, and it's a bunch of stationary images playing as the credits roll, hinting at a film that would've been at least a little more interesting.

    @thelzdking Thing is, I think asking people for their "10 worst films of all time" will inevitably result in "films that most pissed me off". What makes a good film isn't really objective anyway and how you react to a film is driven by a lot of different factors.

    For instance, the films I listed are not, from a technical film-making perspective, the worst films I have ever seen. But they really, really annoyed me and have left me annoyed enough that they still spring to mind years (in some cases decades) after I saw them, whenever somebody mentions "worst films".

    I've also seen films like Gremloids and Black Sheep (the New Zealand one about man-eating sheep) which are terrible by almost every accepted standard, but which I also love.

    From Wikipedia for Dracula 3000:

    'As the Demeter draws closer towards one of the binary stars, Humvee and Aurora confess to each other that neither knows how to pilot the ship. Knowing they are about to die, they take comfort in the fact that Orlock's plan to return to Earth have been foiled. Aurora reveals that she is programmed for sexual pleasure, and it is implied the two spend their final moments having sex.'

    My answer is all "chick flicks", you can predict 90% of the dialogue and plot no matter when you start watching.
    Pile of wank.

    @JamboWayOh Definite Shakespearean vibes there. Perhaps a Hamlet motif?

    Sarcasm aside, that is also a scene it's quite easy to imagine fitting into the more recent Mass Effect games.

    In its defence the Chinese were an important part of getting him back home in the book. Now Transformers and its inexplicable need to go to China for some reason makes sense when you realise it had a lot of Chinese money funding it.

    Actually, I haven't.

    Is it particularly bad for that? It's come up in a few Hollywood blockbusters recently, in a transparent bid to secure permission for a Chinese release. Wasn't aware The Martian had played that game, though...

    Edit: Ok, yeah, I googled. That's pretty bad.

    Most of the really bad films I've blanked out or must not have watched all the way through as I really can't remember them. They've merged into a general crap film that I refer to as things like one of the shitty Scary Movie type films that might be called A Haunted House but I'm not certain.

    Terrible in every way. Some of the films here are classics in comparison.

    They really weren't that big at all, even by Japanese standards.

    Worst.
    Film.
    Ever.

    Superman IV (?) was genuinely shit. The one shot in Milton Keynes.

    Tbh I rarely see really genuinely terrible films as I hear they are bad before watching. Most of the time they're disappointing for various reasons.

    You really need to weigh up the time and money spent vs. the output. Uwe Boll's films are shit, but I don't think they have much effort or money.

    It's why Transformers 2 is the worst film ever. Big budget and a lot of effort and man hours (those annoyingly intricate CG models dont animate themselves entirely), and it's still fucking abysmal.

    Max Mon Amour: what the fuck is this film? Charlotte Rampling fucks a gorilla? I know there's some terribly clever satirical swipe at the decadent bourgeoisie or something going on. It's obviously going over my head. Or maybe it's just wank and someone should have had a serious fucking word with Nagisa Oshima.

    Sextette: Mae West is approximately 147 and looks every minute of it. She's still chucking out the filthy double entendres and desperately trying to fuck a young Timothy Dalton. This is like watching your dear old nan get slaughtered on vodka slammers at Revs and then chasing around a series of limp dicks in the beer garden.

    At Long Last Love: Hi, I'm Peter Bogdanovich and I don't need drugs to get high, I just snort my own ego. I'm going to make a homage to all those classic musicals I love so much and cast Burt Reynolds, who can't sing a note, and then cast my missus, who makes him look fucking amazing. Then I shall sit back and watch the accolades roll in. Heads up, Bogdanovich!

    I saw Battlefield Earth three times at the cinema. But that was mandated by the CoB.

    KSW!
