Cool, the only ones I've seen on the full list are Manos, Hands Of Fate and Plan 9 From Outer Space and both of those were on MST3K so that doesn't really count.
Then again, how are Evil Bong or Gingerdead Man not on the list???
I've seen WAAAAAY worse movies than the ones in this list and I bet FF has seen even more turds than I have.

if it really was the worst films of all-time then the Hulk movies and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace would be on it.

Fo'shizzle. Though I gotta agree with Super Mario Bros.' inclusion on this list. It may not have been the worst movie I've ever seen but it was definitely the biggest poop sandwich I ingested this year.

I get the feeling that most of the hate for Indy 4 is due to shia lebouf. Im sure if it was a completely different actor or even an unknown, it would be much less hated, as i thought it was a fun, enjoyable film.

Most of the films at the top of this list are very recent (demonstrating the age demographic of the people who replied) so it's only representative of the past decade or so...and even then it shows very little imagination.

Awww c'mon, Howard the Duck is a GREAT movie. It's a textbook example of everything that was wrong with the '80s all rolled up in one film!!
Anyone who sez it's the "worst movie ever" has not seen nearly enough bad movies. Take it from one who knows...there is MUCH MUCH worse out there.
Besides, the "bedroom" scene in "Howard" holds a special place in my heart because it ignited a teenage crush on Lea Thompson that still lingers to this very day.

I was kind of busy in the 80's doing other stuff far far away from movie theaters and VHS tapes.

Troll 2 got more votes than The Room? While Troll 2 may be this generations answer to Plan 9, The Room is its own special type of bad movie. Now lets all put on tuxedos and go outside and throw around a football.

Crazy thing is according to her she shot a topless scene for the movie "The Wild Life" that the producers cut out. Why would you do that!?! In 1984!?! Lea Thompson!?! That's a no-brainer to me.
Some on that list I find entertaining. I've always loved Plan 9. It's bad in a fun "we're trying" kind of way. When I saw Troll 2 on Comedy Central many years back I always assumed it was a parody movie. The unforgivable ones to me are the Batman & Robins where you have a big budget, talent, experience and that is what you came up with? I never understood how that movie could be that unentertaining. I was on a date when I saw it and it was so bad the thing completely c*ck-blocked me because of it's atrociousness. And I could totally understand. The movie that'll have you home by yourself at ten PM.

I despise X-Men 3 and Spiderman 3 in the context of their respective series's (especially X-Men since the first two are among my favorite movies), but "worst movies of all time" really seems a stretch.

Well put.
It could be said that anything with Kate Hudson or Reese Witherspoon should be on this list as well.

I'd put Blair Witch Project, Inspector Gadget, and Epic Movie (which was horrible even by spoof standards) WAY before any of those. I actually found enjoyment of those above which can't be said for the three major crapfests I mentioned.

Those "Most worst" things are usually crap, because they tend to focus on mainstream stuff and even though a lot of mainstream movies are bad, they don't come close to the amateur filth below.
The worst movie i ever saw was"Attack of the Killer Hog" from Argentina it tried to desperate to be a B-Movie/So bad it's good movie but in the end it was painfull to watch and i regreted to spend 10 buck on it Another example is Turks in Space, the 2006 sequel to "Turkish Star Wars" (one of the most smurfing awesome "so bad it destroys your brain" movies) it was just sad, they tried so desperate, with a big budget to recreate a movie that was done on no budget with pirated star wars scenes and hollywood scores (everything from indiana jones to flash gordon)...it failed
There are really bad movies and they aren't Twilight, Spider-Man or Star Wars Episode 1, those movies are mediocre or bad but enough to feed a crowd of dumb sheeple and it's usually only centered around Hollywood. Why? Other countries make movies, some even make great movies. If i think about Germany i think of all the masterpieces of the 1920s and 1930s like Nosferatur, Metropolis, M, Dr. Caligari and even in later times movies like "Welt am Draht" (Matrix copied it, though Welt am Draht was made in 1974 long before the Internet and Home Computers were common) or Das Boot of course, still there are tons of crappy german movies (Uwe Boll...that's all i gotta say) and those are worse than Twilight or Transformers. Same goes for Italy, you have Sergio Leone and his Dollar movies or Once upon a Time in the West and those are awesome or Dario Argento and Suspiria or Profondo Rosso, at the same time you have Joe D'Amato and Porno Holocaust and the worst Emanuelle movies.

I've seen the Emanuelle movies. Joe D'Amato will go to any end to try to "shock" his audience; totally forgetting about actually making a decent (or at least "coherent") movie.

I've seen some of those movies too (late night on Cinemax/Skinemax in the 90s) but that's because I was a teenager and wasn't old enough to buy porn . I don't think they were supposed to be blockbuster hits.
Actually, the worst movie I saw was a Zombie flick where a martial arts guy was jump kicking the zombies in the head... two inches away from them.

As most of you know, I enjoy most bad movies. So for me to say something is the worst EVER, must really take some doin'. However....
I am hereby nominating "Carnage" (1983), a haunted-house epic directed by notorious no-budget grindhouse auteur Andy Milligan, as the worst film of all time.
Kmorg's seen it (cuz I pawned my DVD off on him a couple of years ago... nyuk nyuk), and I bet he'll agree with me.
When this flick was released on VHS in the early 90s the video company must've realized that they had a poop sandwich on their hands, so some of the trailers tried to make it out to be a horror comedy ("You'll scream... with laughter!") but trust me, the only comedy in this sh*t pile was unintentional.
I got this movie from the dollar store and if Andy Milligan were not already dead I swear I would hunt him down and demand my dollar back.
