The worst Motion Picture you ever saw

Out of Africa.
Titanic (ghastly CGI).

Solo - Mario Van Peebles.

So bad that it's the only movie I've ever fallen asleep watching in a movie theater.

I have never walked out of a movie, but the one that came the closest to chasing me out was "Eraserhead" by David Lynch. I kept hoping it would get better or make sense, but it never did.

It might have been OK if Dana had done the entire movie with the voice of "The Church Lady". As it was you are right it was one heck of a stinker...

Some movies aren't meant to make sense on a literal level...

If you saw the trailer(s), I am surprised you even bothered. It looked about as worthwhile as any recent Wayans brothers "movie".

Jaws 3.

There are three levels of bad movies:

Level 1: A potentially good concept ruined by poor execution, a formulaic cliche, or just a generally dull movie. The critics sniff at it, pan it lightly, move on. Sometimes they can be popular among the general public (some of the 'formula' ones,) but usually not.

Level 2: So bad it's good. The critics love these movies in a way, because it allows them to have fun with the review. The general public either loves or hates it. Quotes and situations from these movies often make it out into other parts of pop culture. Despite the fun stuff, these movies are truly really bad, not to be confused with 'dumb-but-good' movies that actually are funny (Evil Dead, etc, are not examples of this level - Evil Dead is a good movie, just very cheaply made. Plan 9 From Outer Space is an example at this level - good in no way except for the obvious enthusiasm of it's director

)

Level 3: Monumentally bad. Not even 'so bad they're good,' just terrible wastes of time. The critics actually sound worried when they review these films. The general public is traumatized and depressed by their appearance.

I think Jaws 3 was between level 2 & 3. I think it might be the worst movie I've personally seen, because I try hard to stay away from anything at level 3.

Oh Geez - I forgot Battlefield Earth (probably selective amnesia to protect against traumatic experiences), an incredibly wretched film. I can only blame myself for witnessing this cinematic trainwreck; after a couple of failed attempts to wade through L. Ron's (to me) dreadful stuff, I still subjected myself to this ghastly movie.

My kids absolutely love this movie. They laugh hysterically all the way through. Of course, they are 13, 10, 6, and 5, so they don't realize just how bad the movie really is. BTW, you do realize the irony of your post, right? I mean, who else thinks Iocchelli looks a bit "turtley," like Dana Carvey in the picture you've posted? I know I can't be the only who sees the resemblance.

Sweet Home Alabama. The only reason I went to see it was because the really cute sister of a friend of mine agreed to go on a date with me if I went and saw it with her.

She was super cute...but even then the movie wasn't worth it.
