Worst mainstream film I think I've ever seen:

Scary Movie

I got dragged out to see it by a former GF.

Does anyone remember that stupid movie with the spaceship that looked like it had breasts? What was it called? Battle Beyond the Stars or something?

Yes, that was the name of the movie. It was a Roger Corman movie and featured, among others, John Saxon, Sybil Danning, George Peppard, and other luminaries.

Worst sequel: MIB II

Boring, dry, no chemistry between characters and it most certainly could have done without the 'canine profiling' and other racial jokes.

Non-MST3K:

Snowboard Academy. If you thought having Jim Varney not play Ernest would be an improvement, you'd be wrong. Also has one of the Coreys in it.

Walk Like a Man. The ideal movie for those that think Howie Mandel playing in cement is comedy.

The Wizard. Goes beyond mere product placement, with the whole film being an infomercial for the NES.

MST3k:

Monster A Go-Go: I won't ruin the classic ending.

Manos: Only the nightgown wrestling scene makes it preferable to Monster a go-go.

Soultaker: Solely for the scene involving the bath. If you've watched the movie, you know what I'm talking about. If not, you're fortunate. And, as bonus material, here's the Official Robert Z'Dar website

Any movie by Andy Sidaris.

The worst film I have seen was "From Dusk Til Dawn". It was a incoherent piece of regurgitated crap.

I haven't seen many bad films in my life, I think this is caused by my skill in judging a film by its name and reputation. I guess I'm lucky.

I watched AI yesterday and loved it, until I saw the ending. The ending promptly removed 75% of my liking of the film, causing it to slip into mediocrity. :banghead:

Nah, the ending is good, IMO. You just have to appreciate the way it ties back to the beginning. We go from "Mommy creates David to act as a passive receptacle for her need to love" to "David creates Mommy to act as a passive receptacle for his need to love."

Tomb Raider. I paid $2.50 to see that movie and I still wanted my money back.

Pomp:

I did see the way it tied back to the beginning. That still didn't make up for the rest of the movie.
