Here are the ten worst movies of all time, according to Rotten Tomatoes

Ah! In my experience, that would’ve been M-3D the Movie, “starring”* John Holmes (*not really, but he was in it - I think they just inserted [ahem] the footage from some other film). Whenever two or more people got up to leave, part of the audience would yell “feeling inspired, eh?” The title does not seem to exist on either Wikipedia nor iMDB.

One weekend (back in the late 90s) while visiting my parents, for some reason we went to see Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. They couldn’t stand it nor sit still nor keep quiet about it, and they just had to leave, although it turned out there were only 10 or 15 minutes left. (I went by myself another time.)

Hey, I dug it! Anything with Harry Dean Stan— Oh, thought you meant Twister.

It wasn’t my choice, and I guess it was “for the kids,” but Daddy’s Home is the only movie in recent memory where I really wished I hadn’t completely & forever flushed away that portion of my life. (At least that was on video, not something we paid to see in a theater.)

I’m really surprised “Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever” got the prize as “worst movie”. I’m not defending it – it’s an extremely mediocre action movie with a poor plot that utterly wasted the talents of Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu, but honestly, it’s no worse than a typical Michael Bay movie.

A very interesting one, that. I even saw Crispin Glover riding down Douglas Avenue on a ten-speed bicycle one Friday night, back when folks used to do “the drag”.

I bought a Philips DVD player in the late 90s with “Buy now get 1 FREE movie!” on the box. Opened it to find the steaming turd that is Batman & Robin inside.

I’ve only attempted to watch it twice. The first time I made it just a few minutes before hitting eject. Even the DVD player seemed offended by this so-called movie. It ejected the disc halfway across the room. Unfortunately the disc was unharmed.

Months later I forced myself to watch it all the way through, to try and determine the absolute nadir of movie making. It’s Schwarzenegger’s death scene*, by far.

(*YMMV, I’ve learned my lesson and do my best to avoid such horrors now.)

This is very, very similar to something I have read about Room, but I can’t be asked to check who let themselves be inspired by whom.

I didn’t see The Love Guru (2008) or Dragged Across Concrete (2018) on their list.

Both are extremely terrible. D.A.C. is so head-scratchingly bad that it almost warrants a course on “Absolutely What One Shouldn’t Do” in a film school.

Did you mean The Room? Because that movie and Room are very different, I hear.

For years I mentally mixed up “The Room” with “The Cell”. I did not really like “The Cell” but I also didn’t think it was worth mocking as the worst movie ever either, but I just shrugged it off. Then I actually watched The Room.

Yup. We walked out halfway through at the cinema. First and only time so far…

Twister was cheesy as all get-out but it was reasonably entertaining and well-produced for what it was. It didn’t even stand out as one of the worst disaster films of the 1990s, let alone one of the worst films ever made.

"2: One Missed Call (2008)

Critics Consensus: One of the weakest entries in the J-horror remake sweepstakes, One Missed Call is undone by bland performances and shopworn shocks."

Ahh, the remake I have not seen it, but I saw the original by Takashi Mikke and it blew my mind. I was on alot of ketamine at the time.

I’ll tell ya. Evil Dead 2 on LSD for the first viewing was a wild ride.

Come to think of it, When Harry Met Sally was, too.

Half the audience walking out means it’s a great movie!

Seriously, don’t pass on Track 29 because you heard it was bad on BBB. It’s not Nicolas Roeg’s best film perhaps, but Gary Oldman is fantastic in it. It’s got Christopher Lloyd too, and Theresa Russell isn’t even bad. Yeah it’s a simple three hander, but Roeg’s direction (as always) is jaw-dropping and the whole thing is intriguingly unhinged and just the right amount weird. I highly recommend it if you dig Roeg’s other stuff.

I’m with ya! My best friend and I saw a double feature back in the early 70’s of “Night of the Living Dead” and the original “Freaks” while tripping on LSD. Pretty sure that both of us had our hair fully standing on end by the final conclusion.
