The Chosen One with Carmen Electra
Smokey and the Bandit3. It was so bad even Burt Reynolds wouldn't be in it. I loved the first two and begged my parents to go. I gave up and wanted to leave very early in. I was eight and it was the first time I remember feeling bad about misspending my parent's money.
The movie adaptation of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was awful, which is sad as Douglas Adams had a hand in the script.
Evil Dead.
Dude where's my car is good once, but unwatchable again.
1,000,000 ways and the new TMNT where not good, but I loved them.
Keeping the faith as released was horrible but could be really good recut.

I can see that, too.
[edit] EVIL DEAD IS AWESOME!
Besides, we still need to differentiate between movies that are bad on purpose (RHPS, Evil Dead, Iron Sky) and those that were made with the earnest intention of producing a blockbuster.

You are dead to me.
The Happening has to be on the list of really bad stuff too.
Rocky Horror Picture Show? Star Wars? I don't think I can hang out here anymore. At least give RHPS the chance it deserves and go see a midnight show.
My vote goes for the Spy Kids franchise, the 4th one being the absolute worst.
I forgot about this one: "Sideways".
What a steaming pile.
"If anyone orders merlot, I'm leaving."
Berkeley you. I'd order a box of merlot for everyone at the table (even if I knew it couldn't be had that way) and he could carry his whiney, self-absorbed, third-world problem riddled, bitch ass out the door.
The rest of characters are equally useless and the movie, as a whole, is two hours of misery.
Can't agree with Sideways. I like that movie a lot, and he's supposed to be an insufferable shiny happy person. One that should definitely be on this list is the Bag Man John Cusack, DeNiro, and it still sucks more than a Dyson...
The second half of Super Troopers. Any only because the first half was so freakin hilarious. I've never laughed so hard at the first part of a movie and then 20 minutes later wanted to walk out.
As a whole piece of work, whatever that stupid movie was that beat out "Saving Private Ryan" for best film of the year. All I can remember about it is it was so bad I quit watching it and determined never to watch another awards show again.
Apparently none of you had to suffer through The Family Stone.
That movie today is by far the worst movie I've ever seen.

To each his own, but this review pretty much reflects my feelings about it:
"The one great redeeming quality of this movie is its philosophical consistency. It's about a middle-aged man who has populated his life with pretensions - that he is a writer, an epicure, and an expert on wine. This movie will appeal exclusively to those with an all-too common and all-too-similar conceit: that they "appreciate good movies." Sideways is a brilliantly acted, brilliantly polished turd. The direction and editing is superb, the acting is magnificent and the characters have both depth and realism.
BUT THE MOVIE SUCKS.
In fact, it prides itself on its sucking. Our protagonists are a pathetic and self-pitying (though utterly self-absorbed) writer-aesthete wannabe and an unsuccessful TV actor whose stated purpose is to cheat on his fiancée as often as possible in the week before his wedding. These characters are drawn with subtlety and artistry, and both actors turn in bravura performances, but when all's said and done it's impossible to give the proverbial rodent's behind about either of them. If the film had concluded with every major character dying painfully, the emotional impact would have been a nice round zero.
To enjoy this movie you have to identify with the main character Miles, and to identify with Miles you have to have a smug self-pitying streak a mile wide. Let me make something absolutely clear: MILES IS NOT TALENTED. That the director would choose to betray the preceding seven hours at the very end by making Maya (as uninteresting a love interest as I can imagine) appreciate his behemoth of a novel is neither here nor there - Miles is not a good writer, or a good anything. If you've never written a novel, you might think that Miles is what a writer is like. If you have, you know that he's a talentless hack.
I repeat, it's only the MOVIE that is bad. The acting is excellent; except for Madsen's pale and boring millstone of a character, everybody shows up and turns in a good show. But the movie itself is really, really awful.
Not funny.
Not romantic.
Not charming.
Sideways manages to be both contemptuous and contemptible, small and small-minded. I won't bother enumerating the many, many ways in which this movie shows its contempt for anybody who isn't a lifeless oenophile.
I walked into Sideways thinking I was going to love it. I tried so, so hard, but it just broke my heart. This movie hates you, and it wants you to suffer."
how about the second half of Full Metal Jacket?
that movie just stops being interesting once R Lee Ermey dies and they get out of basic training to go to war..

Certainly not as good as the first part, but it still contains a few pretty good lines:
.
Animal Mother: You a photographer?
Private Joker: I'm a combat correspondent.
Animal Mother: Well, you seen much combat?
Private Joker: [sarcastic] I've seen a little on TV.
Animal Mother: You're a real comedian.
Private Joker: Well, they call me the Joker.
Animal Mother: Well I got a joke for you. I'm gonna tear you a new a&hole.
Private Joker: [doing John Wayne impression] Well, pilgrim, only after you eat the peanuts out of my sh$t!
Animal Mother: You talk the talk. Do you walk the walk?
Private Eightball: Now you might not believe it, but under fire Animal Mother is one of the... finest human beings in the world. All he needs is somebody to throw hand grenades at him the rest of his life.
Leaving Las Vegas with Nicholas Cage. Only movie I ever remember walking out of a theater on. As we were leaving about 10 minutes into it along with most of the rest of the audience, the ushers outside said "here they come!" I think that meant people pretty much streamed out of every showing right at the 10 minute mark. Of course the self-congratulatory "artistes" of Hollywood showered several Oscars on its intolerable, disgusting, boring ass.
As a general principle, I hate anything with Adam Sandler as I find him unreedemably annoying. Also any Woody Allen movie that he appears in. I just can't stand that narcissistic, sniveling character that he always portrays.
Coolworld.
That movie had so much potential. Live action and toons? Neat.
But ,damn, is it nearly unwatchable.

We saw Leaving Las Vegas in the theater. At the end of the movie my best friend says "Wow, the feel good movie of the year!" The two older women in the row behind us didn't find that as funny as we did.
